Chapter 1548: Resuming The Disrupted Banquet

Ancestor Dian Alstreim turned towards Mystic Ice Sect's Sect Master and clasped his hands.

"Many thanks, Sect Master Bing Luli."

'I was wondering why Myria told me to protect the Alstreim Family if I so please, thinking she was trying to contact the Dragon Queen's Protector who uses Death Laws as entertainment, but it turns out that she saw mutual benefit in working together with this rising power... Truly terrifying for her to have seen this far...'

Sect Master Bing Luli possessed immense respect for Myria even though she was her friend. She returned the greeting.

"Ancestor Dian Alstreim, they are shallow people who don't deserve their reputations. I can't stand to see these people try to falsely frame you because of envy. Please don't mind the injustice done to you and resume the wedding ceremony. If not, Ancestor Tirea Snow would truly be saddened."

"I know." Ancestor Dian Alstreim smiled before he turned to look towards Ancestor Xia Yun.

"Many thanks, Ancestor Xia Yun."

"I just helped Luli'er."

Ancestor Xia Yun coolly uttered.

Ancestor Dian Alstreim pursed his lips before he clasped his hands towards Sect Master Bing Luli again.

"The Alstreim Family thanks the Mystic Ice Sect for supporting us during this precarious situation."

"You owe us a favor now. Hehe~" Sect Master Bing Luli cheerfully giggled.

"Indeed," Ancestor Dian Alstreim smirked, "I think we will maintain this good relationship with the Mystic Ice Sect, never to forget the valuable help we received today."

Sect Master Bing Luli nodded before she saw the dome barrier open.

They all descended together, returning to their respective seats.

Both the groom and bride returned to their thrones before the former announced.

"Everyone, those shameless and envious people left our Territory. Let's resume the wedding ceremony. Drink up and eat more! The banquet has not ended yet!"

"Yes!!!"

His voice resounded with a boom, causing the Alstreim Family youths and experts to stand up and cheer.

Soon, the atmosphere became one of normalcy before it became boisterous, the people talking about the nine powerhouses and eviction of the Vital Tempering Sect and Twilight Physician Hall. They all felt that they deserved it, but the fact that it did happen widened their horizons.

Furthermore, the Alstreim Family had three, no, four powerhouses from now on!

Ancestor Dian Alstreim, Ancestor Tirea Snow, and the two individuals, a fox fey and a female magical beast. Moreover, Ancestor Dian Alstreim had entered the Mid-Level Law Rune Stage.

What kind of lineup was this!?

They had never heard of powers accepting feys and magical beasts unless they had some kind of relation to them, like blood. So these two new powerhouses being present in this place came off as a surprise to them. Nevertheless, they thought they could just be hired as protectors for this wedding ceremony which is highly possible.

=======

From the moment the bride was brought to the Grand Wedding Hall till the scene where the twelve powerhouses were made to scram, it was all broadcasted throughout the Grand Alstreim City and other cities in the Alstreim Family's territory, so almost everyone present in the Alstreim Family could see the laughingstock those twelve powerhouses were made into.

They would never see even a single powerhouse being humiliated in their lifetime, much less twelve powerhouses at the same time. It had truly widened their horizons and, at the same time, cleared any doubts they may have towards this marriage because Ancestor Tirea Snow's intention and love were plain to see.

Like the people, Davis's family watched the events through a projection in the Purple Guest Palace. Logan, Claire, Diana, Edward, Edgar, Lia, Tia. They all gathered and watched as if they were viewing a play, having wide smiles on their faces. They had just seen twelve powerhouses scram from the Alstreim Family.

There was another person as well.

She wore a golden robe and looked gorgeous amidst the crowd, seated in the middle of all of them. A beautiful smile filled her face as she saw the projection, witnessing those twelve powerhouses scram out of the Alstreim Family.

"Mother...! Is this all brother's doing...!?"

Diana screamed as she asked, looking extremely excited as she jumped around.

"That's right." Claire proudly spoke, "Inviting that fox-like man and that woman is your brother's doing. Moreover, we still have a powerhouse lying in wait. Your brother managed to bring him out of a death zone like he brought out Niera and Nora's father and mother."

"So cool!~" Diana's lips were curved into a crescent moon.

She had just arrived here but was stuck in the Purple Guest Palace. However, hearing all her brother has clearly done in this half a month gave her the shivers. Meanwhile, Edward sat dumbfounded, his eyes possessing awe. He wondered if he would ever be able to reach the level of his brother.

Claire was all smiles. She looked towards Isabella, imagining this should be about the right time.

"Isabella, do you know what's similar between us?"

Isabella blinked, not expecting a question like this to be asked. She shook her head.

"I don't know, mother-in-law."

Claire grinned.

"We are similar with the fact that we married our husbands when we were strong."

"Haha, that's right!" Isabella giggled before she shook her head, "However, I don't think I would have necessarily survived without him there to guide me."

Claire's eyes lit up.

"Indeed, you took the words right out of my mouth. We are similar because I wouldn't have survived if it wasn't for ladykiller Logan who saw me in the secret entrance and saved me on a whim. If anyone else had seen me when my cultivation was essentially sealed, I would've met a fate worse than death that makes me shiver whenever I think about it. That's why I will never betray him."

"I know you have your inheritance to grow further-"

"I understand, mother-in-law." Isabella interrupted with an understanding smile, "You're worried for your son that I would defect with my growing prowess but fret not, I will not do something like that. Moreover, your son has secret techniques that allow him to kill even me at this moment, so I rather think that you should be worried about me, haha~"

Claire blinked before she giggled.

"Silly~ Why would he harm you? He's like his father, so soft towards the women he loves..."

"Hehe~" Isabella also laughed, agreeing with her.

"In any case, I'm glad that you can understand him."

Claire relaxedly nodded her head, thinking that Davis sure did marry women who understood him instead of just attaining them for their beauty or purely lusting after them.

On that note, she really couldn't find fault with her son. After all, she had a similar talk with Sophie and Niera and confirmed that he actually hadn't touched them yet, giving her the shock of her life.

The son of a womanizer wasn't womanizing as he made himself seen to be? He's actually waiting until he married them? Only Fiora was the exception?

Suddenly, her expression froze as she saw Isabella's eyes narrow.

Isabella stood up the next moment, causing Claire's expression to change.

Did she say something she shouldn't have said?

Isabella's reaction caused everyone in the hall to look at her, wondering what was up.

Isabella's expression was frighteningly solemn before she relaxed and looked at Claire.

"Mother-in-law. Please remain here and activate the defensive formations. We've got uninvited guests."

Everyone's expression froze before they instantly scrambled to take a cautious attitude as if they knew what to do. Clearly, it could be seen that they were not just enjoying the wedding but also wary as if they knew that this place would be trespassed by people.

"Let us help."

Edgar Alstreim spoke while Logan also took his foot towards the forefront.

"No need, grandfather-in-law. All Davis requires is for you all to stay safe. If I let anyone of you get injured, not only is it a disgrace, but my husband will blame me, which I can't have no matter what."

Isabella smirked at them before she turned around and left, leaving Edgar Alstreim and Logan having their mouths agape.

Davis would blame her if they died? No, they thought that he would blame them if they failed to protect Isabella!

Isabella wore a gold-crimson veil when she left, heading towards the anomaly she had found. Arriving near the entrance of the eighteenth floor, she found that there were actually four black-robed people, concealed from the common eyes.

However, their concealment suddenly came off, revealing their figures.
