Davis waved his hands and the wind silently shook the dust off the decorations, gently hanging on to the structure. Such a move didn't even take a fraction of his essence energy away from him.

The others also did the same as they whooshed the dust away with a wave of their hands.

The residence instantly became clean but was still not polished. The surface of the outer courtyard had all its dust gather over to a corner. Nevertheless, they were content with this residence.

"So this is where you mentioned that you stayed in the Royal Xuan Captial." 

To his side, Evelynn stood by his side as she held his arms.

Davis just nodded before speaking up, "Everyone, make yourselves at home."

He then walked into the residence as if he cared about nothing with Evelynn by his side. The others were not astonished by his actions, instead, they looked as if they were used to it.

Those who did not know that Evelynn was his wife had already become to see her as the powerful masked man's woman in their minds.

In the residence, Davis and Evelynn moved towards the former's old room.

He opened the door and saw the bright sight that would make one think that this was a room designed for a special occasion.

When Davis saw his room being awfully elegant and refined, he just smilingly shook his head.

However, he also noticed an envelope, placed on the king-sized bed. He lifted his hand and the letter flew into his hands. Inside the envelope was a small parchment.

The parchment was made of magical beast skin. However, it traces of being handled before as the envelope was slightly torn apart.

'Hmm... Someone had broken into the residence and read the letter?'

Davis pondered, wondering who exactly could it be...

However, he didn't bother with that anymore and swiftly opened it as he read.

[

Esteemed Alchemist Scythe,

I leave this letter in hopes of letting you know I'm well and prosperous in health...

]

Davis paused slightly thinking that the letter was awfully formal. 

Did he leave such an impression on her that their relationship could be said to be strained like this... Or was it her way of expressing her sentiments?

'Right...' He remembered that unlike informal writings sent through messages on Earth, this world always followed a formal way of doing things when a letter is being written.

He read the line again and saw that there were no signs of forging and changing the words written in Sky Word Language. 

'So far, the intruder did nothing to the parchment other than reading it.'

He nodded and then continued to read.

[

By the time you read this letter, I will have long settled down in Pavlos City with my parents and my little sister. I wanted to thank you for your hospitality, and for all the Spirit Stones that you gave me out of generosity.

I am well aware that the work I've done to serve you in no way compares to the huge amount of wealth you've given me. Even so, the generosity you have bestowed me would greatly help me and my family in the present and the future.

If Mister Scythe has the time to visit Pavlos City in the future, then I promise that I and my little sister will give you the greatest respect you deserve for your magnanimity.

Also, please forgive your servant who had indulged too much in your kindness and tried to take advantage with that last request of mine.

- Natalya Astoria

]

The letter was very short, only conveying her feelings of gratitude and reverence. The last line spoke as if she viewed herself as his servant.

To that, Davis didn't know what to say as he became flabbergasted.

He did indeed order her around but there was no need to call herself his servant, right?

As for her taking advantage of him...

'What was that about?' Davis pondered and then it dawned on him, 'Her request to purchase formations with my help?'

By his side, Evelynn also read the letter and asked with a glint in her eyes, "Are you going to Pavlos City?"

She already knew who Natalya was and heard about her, so she wasn't bothered much. She didn't know where the city neither did she bother to ask. She only wanted to know if her husband would go and meet that woman.

Davis shook his head, "We're being pursued. I don't think I have the luxury to go to Pavlos City, neither do we have the time to meet her and chat."

"It's better if I let her live peacefully, lest I bring danger to her just by visiting."

Evelynn nodded her head in agreement.

However, Davis felt a little bit hesitant.

The letter had been read by an intruder, meaning that he or she, or an entire group knows the place where Natalya had gone to... Did this mean that she was in danger because of him?

Davis pondered for a moment before he shook his head. It seemed unlikely for them to face danger since the letter was left just like that.

It became somewhat clear that the people who left the letter were probably targeting Alchemist Scythe for some unknown reasons.

Only if he were to head towards Pavlos City and meet Natalya would she encounter danger. If he didn't go, then he felt that her life would relatively stay free of trouble.

After considering for a while, Davis decided that he wouldn't head to meet Natalya.

======

Time passed.

All of them who were present in the two carriages took the free rooms that were scattered around for themselves and made themselves to be at ease like they were finally home.

After relaxing for a while, Davis went out of his room while telling Evelynn to stay in the room. But on second thought, he shook his head and went back to the room, changing his mind.

In front of the confused Evelynn, he spoke, "Let them come to me."

Evelynn paused before nodding her head in agreement. She too didn't like her husband pursuing the well-being of everyone.

If they had concerns, they should come to him.

At least, that's how she thought.

As expected, in an hour, someone knocked on their door.

When Evelynn stood up to open it, she sensed that it was the pale Daniuis. She slightly gestured the other party to come inside.

With a nod, Daniuis entered and spoke with gratitude, "I have to say... Without you, I, along with my family would've been history right now."

Davis just chuckled before gesturing him to sit beside the table.

After Daniuis sat, he sighed, "I never thought I would fall this low... I thought the Law Sea Stage was within my grasp but instead, it ruined me and caused the people of the Cloud Spring Mercenaries to suffer, including Glyn."

Davis silently listened as he let his Grand Uncle pour out his emotions to that matter. Likely, he had so many misgivings but couldn't share it with his family because he didn't want to burden them with his worries.

This continued for a few minutes till Daniuis got to the point, "A King Grade Medicinal Pill which could cure me would only be sold in exchange for Mid-Level or High-Level Spirit Stones. Here..."

Daniuis extended his hand and in his palm was a Peak-Level Earth Grade Spatial Ring. 

Davis unceremoniously took the spatial ring and wore it over his finger, binding it with a fraction of his soul essence which didn't amount to much.

Inside the spatial ring were 50,000 Mid-Level Spirit Stones, making him have the ability to buy a few King Grade Treasures.

His eyes shot wide in astonishment as he turned to look at Daniuis.
