Chapter 201
"Then who could he be?" Lucia muttered but her eyes blazed with fury .
Even if he was the Prince of a King Grade Empire, she was still determined to take her revenge one day, and shred him to pieces .
"Actually . . . Who were those people? Why would they try to hold hostile intent against you two?" Although Davis had an opinion, he wanted to verify it .
"They stand in opposition to our father, and belong under the wing of Vice-Leader Jawan . " Lucas nonchalantly said while spreading his hands .
"Fools think that they can take over our Cloud Spring Mercenaries . Who knows when they would touch upon the wrath of our father?" Lucia faintly smiled at him .
In her view, her father was all-powerful . It was probably the case with Lucas as well .
Davis nodded his head and didn't voice out his opinion . The last thing he wanted to do was get involved in an internal struggle .
"I feel reluctant to part with my loot but since you two obeyed my commands, I'll share one-third of my loot with you," Davis brushed off the topic as he took out 6 Spirit Beast Stage Magical Beast Cores .
Looking at his gesture, they both were stunned .
Lucia smiled and shook her head, "Davis, we don't need it . It's better if you have those . As for us, we have our backing . . . "
Davis blinked, "Is that so?"
Just when he thought of storing it back, Lucas interrupted, "We'll accept it!"
Davis looked and gave the six cores to him .
"Lucia, once we turn sixteen, we have to take care of ourselves . We would not be ent.i.tled to free resources anymore . Besides, in a few months, we would have to leave for Falling Snow Sect . At that time, we would have to compete for resources like everyone else . "
A teasing smile sprung up on Lucas's face, "Do you really want to decline his kind intentions?"
Lucia's face turned red from embarra.s.sment . She hatefully glared at him before s.n.a.t.c.hing three of the cores from his hand .
"Where are your manners?" Lucas was enjoying it while he could .
Lucia trembled slightly as she felt her pride taking a huge hit, "Thank you, Davis . . . "
Davis revealed a smile on his face on hearing her meek voice .
Then he spoke, "Now that we've taken care of the Five-Clawed Rats, I suggest we return to the headquarters to complete the mission and continue . . . "
"No . . . that's roundabout . We can go hunt the Steel Back Boars in the Forest of Kyle and then head northwest to a Kingdom named the Uriel Kingdom . There we have a branch of Cloud Spring Mercenaries, so it's possible for us to submit and complete the mission there!" Lucas cut off Davis and explained .
'Ah! They finally proved themselves useful . . . ' Davis thought about it for a moment before nodding his head .
. . . . .
After finis.h.i.+ng formalities with the head guard of Jie Ming Town, they left the place, heading north .
They crossed three to four towns and left Loseris Kingdom's border before they arrived at the Forest of Kyle .
"Elder Brother, stop staring at her!" Lucia slapped Lucas's head causing him to flinch .
"Hey! It's not like I'm going to become a depraved person like the exiled prince! Stop hitting me!" Lucas pointed at her and shouted .
"Hmph! You can't fool me! The way you were staring at her twin peaks were obvious . Besides, why are you bringing that debauched man into the conversation? Do you want to die?" Lucia narrowed her eyes and twisted her fists .
"Alright, you two, stop fighting . " Davis tiredly uttered as he moved forwards .
They both glanced at each other and harrumphed in displeasure . This was already the umpteenth time they were constantly fighting with each other .
Davis had long ago guessed the reason they were fighting with each other . It was mostly because of Lucas, who humiliated Lucia in front of him . He could tell the Lucia was being childish and to this, he could only shake his head .
As for the Exiled Prince, they pa.s.sed through a rather poor city and managed to see the City Lord pa.s.sing by the road in a carriage with a bevy of beauties on his lap and arms .
Davis could tell that the City Lord had a Cultivation at the Peak of Fourth Stage while also living the life of debauchery .
Lucas then informed him that he was the exiled prince of the Low-Level Sky Grade Kingdom named, Uriel Kingdom .
Evidently, the Exiled Prince plucked the yin of a Marquis's daughter, which in turn caused the whole Marquis's Family to rebel .
Even though they managed to survive it with few casualties, it caused a storm of bad reputation to circulate in the surrounding regions causing the royal family to want to strangle him to death .
But since he was the Crown Prince and the favorite of the King at that time, he was just exiled to be the lord of a mere City .
Lucia unmistakably used him as an example to make trouble with Lucas and get revenge for the humiliation she received before .
But the reason for their verbal battle now?
Davis looked at the beauty standing in front of them alongside a group of mercenaries .
She looked incredibly busty with naturally endowed curves even while wearing the Cloud Spring Mercenaries uniform .
Her face was far from average and her demeanor commanded respect from the whole group, yet their eyes couldn't help but fall on her from time to time .
To this woman whose charm brought the surrounding eyes to fall on her, Davis silently mused, 'Femme Fatale . . . '
They were quite a distance from that group .
"Tch, they had already started hunting way before us . I hope there are quite a few Steel Back Boars left in the forest or we would have come in vain . . . " Lucia muttered in a displeased tone .
She then secretly glanced at her budding chest before heaving a sigh of relief .
A few seconds later, they could see the group approach them while the woman of their topic, led the group in their direction .
"Young Master Lucas and Young Miss Lucia, I didn't think you two would come here . Are you also here to hunt Steel Back Boars?"
Davis was stunned after hearing her voice which sounded melodious to the extreme . If possible, it made him want to listen to this voice all his life .
"Miss Ophelia, please don't tease me with your charm arts . My legs are already getting weak from your voice . . . " Lucas muttered as his legs trembled while exposing an ugly smile on his face .
