Chapter 157

"Let's go together!" Feeling the helplessness, s.h.i.+rley blurted out the words that she had been bottling up since the time she had seen him outside .

Davis narrowed his eyes . He turned back and started going ahead without even replying to her .

s.h.i.+rley wryly smiled in sadness .

She knew that she was hated by him for that matter which she had no control of; but more than the feeling of being helpless, she felt wronged .

"Eh?" s.h.i.+rley let a slight noise of confusion, looking at him turning to glance at her once again with a look of bewilderment on his face .

"Are you not coming?" Davis asked her in a cold voice, still tinged with indifference as if he was asking a stranger .

She was dumbfounded for a moment before her face which hadn't shown a genuine smile from that time, unintentionally bloomed into a bright smiling face .

Davis moved his gaze away from her and started moving again while he heard hurried footsteps quickly follow behind him .

He gently let out a sigh as he slightly shook his head . To this woman who was the cause and also not the cause of Evelynn's injury, he had no idea of how to treat her .

He knew that he was being unreasonable with her, and he felt it all the more when she smiled at him that brightly, but just couldn't bring himself to not blame her either .

Besides, accepting her advances meant that he would be cheating on Evelynn, and he wanted to avoid that all costs .

"Hold it right there!" A voice echoed out right behind them, causing Davis's expression to not being able to laugh or cry .

This time, he recognised the owner of the voice but never once had talked to the owner of this voice .

s.h.i.+rley turned back, her facial expression changed as she got irritated by the owner of the voice .

He didn't even turn before that voice he recognised echoed again, "Davis Loret, I have endearing feelings for Princess s.h.i.+rley . "

"Kennet Claymore, this is the last time I'm warning you!" s.h.i.+rley's expression turned a little cold as she gritted her white teeth and shouted .

From the moment she arrived outside, she had been pestered by Kennet Claymore for fours but she paid no heed to him as her mind was preoccupied with Davis's figure .

Annoyed by him several times, she had already warned him to not disturb her anymore .

She quickly glanced at Davis's back, only to see him stay still without turning to look back .

Now that her mind had finally taken off a burden, she feared that Davis would stop talking with her again .

Kennet Claymore grinned, not at all bothered by her rejection .

His face was handsome, he had sparkling emerald green eyes, with a slightly pointed nose . His curly brown hair reached till neck's length . He had a medium and delicate build, causing one to underestimate him, but he was unexpectedly the who got the third place in the Grand Sea Continent Meet .

"Since you have annulled the marriage with her, why are you still together with her? What? Are you trying to degrade her reputation?" He didn't reply to her but questioned Davis in a mocking tone with a serious expression on his face .

He had his eyes on s.h.i.+rley for a long time since his childhood but after her marriage was announced, he brewed some schemes but gave up after seeing Davis's strength in the Grand Sea Continent Meet .

Finally, after he heard that the marriage agreement between them was annulled, his mind had once again thought about her hot figure which he had seen during the compet.i.tion .

He couldn't help but set his eyes upon her again now that he had seen her beauty and strength shake his heart .

Various thoughts flew past Davis's mind as he considered .

A moment later, he didn't reply to Kennet Claymore but continued walking forwards as he activated the Dark Concealing Shroud Art, fading away from existence in the crowd's eyes .

"No! Don't . . . " s.h.i.+rley's eyes widened as she saw him disappear . Sadness overtook her heart, making her heart plummet in an instant .

"Princess s.h.i.+rley, now that he's gone, why don't we team up and work together? After all, we're the strongest ones here . "

A few more youths eyes suddenly lit up in expectation as they also thought of having a chance with Princess s.h.i.+rley .

s.h.i.+rley was the strongest young maiden in the continent, and status-wise, they were all princes of other empires . They felt that they absolutely possess a chance with her now that a powerful rival was out of the matter .

"Why should my little sister team up with trash like you? She even rejected Prince Davis! What makes you think you have a chance?" Before others could get ahead of the conversation, a splendid and a cool red-haired man, dressed up in fiery red robes tinged with flame patterns, stepped up and said in a calm tone .

This red-haired man was s.h.i.+rley's 57th brother, one who was near her age .

He secured the 4th place in the Grand Sea Continent Meet .

Kennet Claymore sneered with dissatisfaction, "Heh, Kristo Ashton . This is none of your business . Besides, I'm the strongest elite present here! You should be glad that I even asked your sister's hand in marriage . . . Hahahuh~?!" Just when he mocked Kristo, a stark bright blade flashed beside him as it slashed towards him in an incomparable speed .

He evaded the slash by taking a step back with his foot while the blade was just an inch closer from ripping his innards to shreds .

"What is the meaning of this!? s.h.i.+rley!" Kennet Claymore shouted angrily while he felt a cold sweat dripping down from his forehead .

"There are no more warnings if you get involved with me again!" s.h.i.+rley coldly spat out, her heart was filled with bitterness from not being able to go together with Davis .

"You! Are you r.e.t.a.r.ded? Don't you remember that we are not supposed to fight each other!?" Kennet Claymore shouted out as he gritted his teeth while maintaining quite a distance from her .

Actually, he relied on this rule to speak rudely with Davis . If not, he wouldn't have dared to be so presumptuous . Even though his father, Emperor Claymore had warned him about Davis, his pride didn't allow to think lower of himself in any way .

He subconsciously a.s.sumed that this kid got lucky for having a master at that level .

He gambled with himself that Davis will not bicker with him since this s.p.a.ce tunnel only allows people below age 30 to travel and with the a.s.sumption that Davis's master couldn't possibly come to his rescue if anything happens to him in this place, he set his plan in motion .

And he was joyous that his plan had succeeded, but he didn't expect s.h.i.+rley to have such an adverse reaction to him, which was totally out of his expectations .

In fact, it now came as quite a blow to his pride .
