Davis extended his palm as a gesture and demanded that he first receive the goods.
Edgar Alstreim stared for a moment before he let out a faint snort through his nose. He flicked his finger and a palm-sized colorless triangular-shaped crystal fragment appeared in his palm which he then placed on the table.
It’s undulations spread around but stayed within closed doors since Edgar Alstreim had booked the room with a King Grade Defensive and Concealment Formation, useful for hidden gatherings.
Davis smiled as he waved his hand, taking the High-Level Spirit Stone Vein Fragment into his spatial ring. He was rather satisfied with scamming his own maternal grandfather into giving him a gift.
He felt that it wasn’t bad for the reunion in the first time of their history which the other party still hadn’t recognized yet.
One High-Level Spirit Stone Vein Fragment equaled 10,000 High-Level Spirit Stones and when counted normally in Mid-Level Spirit Stones, it reached about 10,000,000 Mid-Level Spirit Stones. If it were to be transacted, then the exchange rate would garner tens of millions of Mid-Level Spirit Stones.
Princess Isabella received ten of those High-Level Spirit Stone Vein Fragments after becoming the Conferred Queen, but he received one just for revealing his face...
’What a catch...’
Davis wasn’t worried about showing his face at all!
He inherited most of his facial features from his father, so he resembled his father more. Only his blonde hair mostly related him to his mother.
He moved his hand over to his chin and lifted the mask from his face. His sapphire eyes and extremely handsome facial features came into Edgar Alstreim’s view.
Edgar Alstreim pursed his lips as frowned. He initially thought that the other party was just a random blonde-haired person but since the other party seemed to know about the Alstreim Family, no about him rather well, he began to think if the other party is related to the Alstreim Family in any way.
’Sapphire eyes... and a rather familiar eye shape...’
Edgar Alstreim knew that there were many offshoots in the Alstreim Family. Not all of them had blonde hair and purple eyes. Many of the members of the branch differed in physical trait and they were more or less discriminated against, mostly depending upon the status within the family.
He felt Davis be vaguely familiar but couldn’t place his finger on it.
’Could it be that this person is an exiled character of the Alstreim Family?’
But this wasn’t important at all. He wanted to know how these people could change the trajectory of his daughter’s future path and give her luck.
"You seem distressed? Perhaps, I can be of help?" Davis felt a little bit bad about scamming wealth from his grandfather. He felt that this was enough and suggested.
He still didn’t know how his grandfather managed to pinpoint them in the crowd and it seems like he didn’t find his supposedly dead daughter miraculously.
And the way he saw it, Edgar Alstreim didn’t seem to be using an extremely rare or unknown technique that associated and resonated with one’s bloodline either, so it became rather clear that they weren’t here for Claire or to check her background.
Bloodline Resonation was mostly checked in Bloodline Chambers, so it became quite an impossible feat to check if Claire belonged to his near or distant bloodline currently.
Even forgetting a vague thing such as casting an unknown technique associated with bloodline resonation, Edgar Alstreim just talked with his mother and shrugged away as if he didn’t care.
This meant there was another reason altogether for Edgar Alstreim to ask for their literal faces rather than the initial reason he provided!
Davis also felt that there was no way a little daughter’s request could make Edgar Alstreim spend this much wealth just to see their faces. Who would in their right mind spend unless they were really wealthy?
But Davis could tell that a cripple wouldn’t have much in the first place...
’That’s right... He could always use the wealth from the bride’s side...’ Davis imperceptibly narrowed his eyes as he felt confused.
Edgar Alstreim became taken aback when he heard Davis that he needed help. He blinked and narrowed his eyes, wondering if the other party was purposefully mocking him.
Anyone would mock him if the world found out that he wasted wealth on the faces of men. They weren’t even women!
Veins erupted on his forehead, making Davis’s smile freeze in realization as he felt the hostile intent from his maternal grandfather.
"Now, now... Let’s not forget ourselves at the moment. There must be something that made you want to see our faces. I just wondered what it is?" Davis suddenly asked and attempted to calm his grandfather down at the same time.
Edgar Alstreim held back his hostile intent and suddenly stood up, holding his daughter’s hand as he moved out of the room.
Davis who saw this grandfather leave without saying anything didn’t bother to stop. He saw his half-aunt look at him curiously and he winked back at her with a smile on his face.
Tia Alstreim’s cheeks became filled with a red hue. She suddenly broke away from her father’s grasp and looked at Davis as she pursed her lips.
"What’s your name?’
