Chapter 654 Portraits

Two weeks ago, an assassin had sneakily entered through the back door of Agis Stirlander’s residence which can be considered nearest to this place when compared with the dwelling of the others.

While Davis and Natalya were having their clandestine rendezvous, he suddenly left her and came back with a listless body, making her almost scream in shock.

Only then did she realize that it was not a corpse but a living person who had a slave seal cast on him by Davis.

Through Davis’s help in interrogating, she came to learn that the assassin had been sent to kidnap her little sister! As for who sent the assassin, even the assassin didn’t seem to know!

However, the reason became known! It was to force her grandfather to cough out the origins of the Conferred Queen, at least, the information of the Conferred Queen he had concluded until this period.

Hearing this, Natalya seemed compelled to inform her grandfather.

Although she knew that it would not allow Davis to visit her secretly, she still gritted her teeth and informed her grandfather fearing for their and her little sister’s safety.

That little sister of hers, Fiora had once dared to sacrifice her purity to Alchemist Scythe so that he could help search and rescue her. If she couldn’t even do this, she felt she wouldn’t have any face to see anyone in her family, including Davis.

Hence, after Davis left, she cleaned herself up and visited her grandfather’s house to warn him that accidentally she noticed strange people loitering around the residence.

Using her wits, she managed to explain and convince her grandfather that there was something strange going on in the residence.

Her grandfather knitted his eyes in response and told her that he would look into it. After that, the security had been tripled in the residence somehow, with experts guarding all sides of the residence.

Even then... Davis was somehow still able to elude the senses of those experts and enter her room as if those experts were thin air to him!

She once again felt the mysteriousness of his methods, and to her confusion and embarrassment, it made her proud that she is a woman of such a person.

She still didn’t know the extent of his prowess; cultivation and she didn’t ask either. She loved him for he was, not his background, status, or cultivation.L1tLagoon witnessed the first publication of this chapter on Ñøv€l--B1n.

Although she felt curious about her man’s strength, she didn’t ask, fearing that he would misunderstand.

Natalya bit her lips, not knowing what to say.

She couldn’t possibly tell her husband to just sit back and watch her grandfather unveil the origin that he doesn’t want to be found out, right?

Forget Davis, she would be harming her own future if she did so...

All those fine details filled in with care was something that he could recognize with his eyes! And the angle of the image that only revealed the side of his face, he recognized it!

It was where Natalya watched him as she sat on the ground over on top of the mat in the room he had in the residence of the Royal Xuan City!

"... It looks extremely great!" Davis visibly exclaimed, "I never knew that you had genuine painting skills!"

Behind the portrait, Natalya shyly echoed, "... I’m glad you like it..."

She stored the portrait the next second and with a slight amount of hesitation displayed on her face, she said.

"But this isn’t the work I’m most proud of..."

"Oh? Then quickly take that one out!" Davis smiled.

However, perceiving that there was a woman who actually spent time drawing his portraits, he inwardly became embarrassed.

"Okay~"

Having got his precious recognition, Natalya became more confident.

She took out a portrait and held it below her head, wanting to see his reaction with her own eyes.

Looking at him widen his eyes with astonishment, she became pleased with her work and let out a satisfied smile.

Davis looked at the portrait which portrayed the alchemist version of him.

In this portrait, he was seen extending his hands towards a Pill Cauldron that has a random yet deeply detailed pattern and before it was those deep luminous raging flames. His face possessed a confident yet calm look while he flew in the air, crossed leg.

Transparent wave ripples, which is his soul force could be seen extending from his hand towards the top of the Pill Cauldron, where three pills had already formed with two other pills on the verge forming with its essence swirling around.

The portrait vividly portrayed a lifelike scenery of one of his pill refining sessions that happened when he secluded himself in his residence at the Royal Xuan City and made commissioned pills, making wealth in the process.

The colorful and vivid portrait came across to him as if it were something straight out of a fantasy! Except, it was his reality!

Davis became momentarily became breath taken by the portrait!
