"You mean...?"
"..."
Davis nearly jumped as he sat up and turned to look at her, "Are you seriously telling me you don’t know who the most vile person in the entire human galaxy is right now?"
Jillian Hayden looked embarrassed as much as she was incensed, "Of course, I know, but what do you mean by the most evil? Evil is evil by the time it reaches a certain threshold. I know Accursed Warlock is the evilest person in this realm, the Nine-Faced Devil Autarch is the evilest in all of the Upper Realms, and many more in the Greater Realm. Which one of these are you?"
"Where is the Divine Emperor of Death in this list?" Davis directly asked.
Jillian Hayden pursed her lips, "Why include him? I heard he is an evil force of the universe, but his character shouldn’t be that bad since I heard even the Supreme One formed a Covenant with him."
Davis narrowed his eyes, "It is true that the Supreme One formed a Covenant with him, but who told you that he isn’t evil? He is literally the cause for your entire family to run out of your mini realm and endure all this suffering. Am I wrong?"
"..." Jillian Hayden suddenly went silent.
She lowered her gaze, appearing hesitant, "I... in this mere month, I experienced how evil people here can be. Compared to them, I don’t know the Divine Emperor of Death or any of these villains. Compared to them, there were even worse people like the Steward, whom I believed, but unexpectedly only planned to use me to take you out. The Saint had a smile worse than any ancient painting of a Nether Devil I’ve seen. The father and mother I believed and held dear sold me out for the family’s survival. Compared to evil, why do they seem so much worse?"
Her gaze was distant, her lips quivering before she forced a smile, "Even you, I mistook you as the City Lord who wanted to violate me... so what are the chances that many people had misunderstood the Divine Emperor of Death? In one way, he is forced to fight with the heavens because he is a Divergent of the highest order. How could he be responsible for the evil committed by people in the Desolate Era when all he did was cultivate and endure tribulation like any other cultivator before leaving this place? Perhaps he’s the savior who will appear to get rid of all this filth."
"..." Davis was momentarily dumbfounded before he gazed at her solemnly.
"Stop fantasizing. You’re merely wishing for evil to eradicate evil."
"Yes!" Jillian Hayden’s expression turned dark, her gaze filled with venom, "Only poison can take out poison."
She clenched her fists as she nearly rose up, looking at him with a fierce gaze, "I already wished for the Divine Emperor of Death to appear here and kill everyone, so what? If he is evil, then that also makes me evil. But I am not evil, so I refuse to believe he is evil. Alright!?"
She looked like she was going to pounce on him, leaving Davis dumbfounded for a moment.
"Davis, isn’t she already aware and only playing the fool?" Abruptly, Evelynn’s voice echoed.
"She’s freaking clueless!"
Davis had the urge to flip the bed.
He had never seen someone so clueless that they missed a direct hint.
However, he calmed down, knowing and understanding that this woman went through a lot, and she started contemplating philosophical questions. She was at that period when he had walked past long ago after killing a million freaking soldiers at the city gates.
Jillian Hayden harrumphed as she sat back again, "Fine, since you won’t tell me who you are, then I won’t ask anymore. Instead, tell me what you do? What kind of power are you from? How many women do you have? Judging by that elder’s tone, you have quite a lot."
"...?"
Davis came out of his reverie, not because of the question, but he sensed a presence as the defensive formation barely rippled.
Abruptly, he saw a shadow flutter across the balcony from the corner of his eyes.
"Who goes there!?"
His pupils instantly dilated as he brought down the curtains on the bed with a flick of his finger, hiding his aura as he exclaimed.
A black-robed man with a hood over his head flew in from the balcony and landed. His first gaze fell on the secret entrance before he turned around again, looking outside. He possessed a peculiar expression before turning to look towards the bed, his expression turning cold as he saw the shadow of a man and a woman appearing quite close and intimate.
"..."
Davis was speechless as he turned to look at Jillian Hayden, who appeared by his side instantly.
She was quite the quick learner, fast seeking protection by coming to his side after the assassination incident, but in this case, he felt she did not need to fear the intruder; she should fear him more, for the intruder was none other than the Celestial Transcendent!
