Chapter 184

Davis had an expression on his face that resembled 'O' .

This whole scenario had been quite unexpected for him .

He hurriedly took another imagery crystal and used it while keeping the other one in his s.p.a.cial ring .

He then turned around, not willing to see the erotic scene behind him as it would only cause him to be h.o.r.n.y .

Besides, it's immoral and went against his rules .

'Cough cough, it's alright . I'm only doing this for research pu . . . oops, blackmail purposes . ' He consoled himself but realised something else, 'Wait! It doesn't sound right! Yes, it's for blackmailing Jackson from making trouble for me in the future . . . nothing else . . . '

Davis brushed off the sweat on his forehead as he rea.s.sured himself . His expression turned complicated as he felt that he was playing the evil role in this situation .

'Why couldn't it be just another trash young master out there? Why did I have to meet a lovey-dovey couple like this? Is someone playing with my fate?' While Davis thought like this, time quickly pa.s.sed though he had thoughts on changing his target .

Deciding to check on them, he turned his head and looked at the scene below him .

Jackson and Imryll were embracing each other comfortingly like a newly-wed couple .

Of course, they were dressed and not naked .

'Looks like they didn't it take it too far . . . ' Davis thought .

As for the specifics, he would have to look into the imagery crystal to see which he didn't want to obviously since he wasn't into voyeurism .

Their cuddling session continued for a few minutes before she bid her farewell and left .

Using this chance, Davis also left the room and went back to the inn . He no longer had the mood to bully Jackson after watching all that .

That said, he was able to gauge his cultivation base, Mid-Level Body Transformation Stage, Peak-Level Iron Stage and Peak-Level Infant Soul Stage .

When compared with the geniuses he encountered in the pa.s.sageway, he could see that Jackson was lacking only in terms of Soul Cultivation .

Seems like his reputation as a genius was well deserved considering the countryside location he was at . . .

A day later, Jackson left the Elmer Town and headed towards the Desolate Plains .

Davis followed after him along the roadway . He was riding a horse and wore a simple robe which looked quite worn out .

With a mask on his face, and his hair coloured black, he a.s.sumed the persona of a totally different person .

The change of his was required since his mission deemed that he must act as a rogue cultivator .

Besides, even if he couldn't feel or sense, he knew that a certain someone was always monitoring him from the shadows .

"What a lame mission, let's get this over with . . . " Davis whispered and retrieved a normal-looking spear from his storage ring .

"Hyaah!" He bellowed, making the horse speed up in pursuit of the convoy that was a kilometre ahead .

. . .

"Marc, what are your thoughts on the guest who arrived yesterday?"

"None, young master . . . "

"I want your honest opinion . . . " Jackson said with a faint smile .

Marc held a helpless expression as he knew that his young master was testing him .

"Unfathomable . . . " Marc replied hesitantly .

"Oh . . . Why do you think so?" Jackson questioned with a serious face but inside he was grinning .

"I could see that young master greatly respects the guest and that guest even had a great beauty serving under him . I feel that guest could probably be a young master of a Sky Grade Family, possibly a peak-level one . . . " Marc explained seriously after looking at his young master's expression .

A smile emerged on Jackson's face, "Although you are wrong, you are not far off . . . "

'Heh, Imryll's Family is a Mid-Level Sky Grade Family, just like the Blackwell Family . ' He thought as he shook his head .

"I thank the young master for his praise . " Marc happily replied, thinking that he pa.s.sed the test .

"Even though you're not that smart, you deserve some kind of reward for your loyal work . "

"Young master is too kind . " Although he said that, a wide grin could be seen on his face .

"Since I deem you worthy and loyal, I'll ask my future in-laws to award you a pill that'll help you breakthrough to the Body Transformation Stage . "

Marc's face lip up jubilantly but before he could thank his young master he was interrupted .

Jackson raised his hand, "We're not done yet . I'm giving you another option . . . "

"Another option?" Marc was entirely dumbfounded .

"Yes . . . " Jackson gave a brief smile .

Seeing that Marc was silent, he continued, "Become my Soul Slave . . . "

Marc's expression turned ashen as he looked at his young master in horror .

Jackson frowned but raised his hand again, "Hear me out, it concerns your future . . . "

"Young master, please spa . . . " Marc blurted out but looking at his young master's expression, he obediently shut his mouth .

"Good!" Jackson nodded, "Firstly, you get to retain your will as I will only have control over your life . Secondly, you gain more resources, possibly valuable than your own life several times to grow powerful . Lastly, this binding will last only for about 100 years . "

Marc's expression changed to one of jubilation as he didn't even hesitate, "I accept young master's proposal!"

He was not afraid that he would be turned into a mere soul slave . What he was most afraid was getting turned into a mindless puppet .

He was primarily a servant, degrading to a soul slave for a century might be frustrating but if he could gain more power, he thought that it might be worth it .

Since his young master promised not to control his will, then he was a.s.sured that he will still have his consciousness with him . The only thing he would have to ensure is to maintain loyalty . If he could do that, then he would be able to grow alongside his young master .

The already hundred-year-old Marc's expression was all smiles . . . All he could think was this was such a huge opportunity to him .

'If I let this go then I would truly be a fool' Or so he thought .
