"Great grandfather, may I know for what reason have you called us? Is it for that strange plant lifeform’s projection caught in the Imagery Stone?" A man who stood along with the four of them asked.
He possessed a calm expression with a dignified demeanor, and his facial features made him look extremely handsome. He possessed a mustache and a small beard on his chin that made him look more mature. His blonde hair and flaming purple-colored pupils made him like a person of high and noble disposition.
He’s none other than the current Family Head, the Patriarch of the Alstreim Family, Eldric Alstreim!
Grand Elder Valdrey smilingly nodded his head at his grandson before his expression became solemn, "I will explain to you later about what the plant lifeform is, but what I called you all here is that you should all restrain yourselves for the upcoming years and not suppress talents or other relevant people with your statuses."
He then moved his gaze to another man, "Especially, Weiss, don’t bother with or suppress Edgar Alstreim anymore..."
The other man with a youthful face and demeanor blinked his eyes before he harrumphed, "That cripple from a mere branch family? I don’t even see him nowadays after his daughter ended up in the Forbidden Phoenix Realm, her status unknown, perhaps dead!"
These words were filled with disdain, but Weiss Alstreim still nodded his head. He is none other than the current Young Master of the Alstreim Family!This chapter was first shared on the Ñøv€lß1n platform.
The Young Master and the candidate to the next Patriarch of the Alstreim Family, a High-Level Emperor Grade Power! His road towards ruling the Alstreim Family is already set in stone as long as he lives up to the standard of maintaining the cultivation and battle prowess of a Young Master.
Hence, within the family, wherever he went, people would instantly fawn on him while they completely lowered their stature.
"What happened?" Patriarch Eldric Alstreim creased his brows.
Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim sighed, "Ancestor has given us his decree that all infighting and struggles within the family should stop as much as possible. Although this is a good thing, it affects our benefits, but nevertheless, we shouldn’t go against our Ancestor’s commands."
"Hmph!" The last of the four snorted.
It was a woman, but she wore the same robes as Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim, indicating her status. She looked middle-aged and still retained a beautiful face. She wasn’t as beautiful as Nora Alstreim, but she wasn’t any less than a kingdom-toppling beauty, not to mention, she looked extraordinarily mature with her plump lips and big bosoms.
"Aiya! My daughter, you should heed this old man’s words for once..." Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim chuckled as he said in a pleading tone.
Many believed that the main cause for the fall of the previous Young Master was him, but it wasn’t. It was his daughter, Grand Elder Elise Alstreim!
He was only responsible for pressuring the other Grand Elders to present within the family to not interfere with their ’benefits’.
Patriarch Eldric Alstreim had his brows furrowed, and the next moment he couldn’t help but smile when turning to look at Grand Elder Elise Alstreim.
At the same time, he sealed the room with his energy even though it was already protected and well soundproofed with Mid-Level Emperor Grade Formations.
However, would that work if the Ancestor were to be monitoring them?
Impossible!
Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim became furious over his spoiled daughter! Even if it was a slip of the tongue, it was blasphemy to curse or even look down on the Ancestor!
After all, without the Ancestor, how could they have ruled this Territory?
They all momentarily became silent as an invisible pressure enveloped them. It was unknown if it were there delusion or reality, but they all felt that they were being monitored by the Ancestor suddenly.
A second...
Half a minute...
A minute passed before they all let out gasps of relief, their faces covered in a little bit of sweat.
Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim had his eyes wide as he looked at them. During this minute, he calmed down and ensured that no presence was within the room with his own methods.
"You all have no idea how terrifying our Ancestor can be..." He slowly enunciated each word.
"Just a while ago, Ancestor ordered Havle Alstreim, who recently became an Elder to investigate and execute the current Ethren Emperor and cripple their ancestor for their crimes."
Ethren Empire’s Ancestor? That turtle-shell who is said to be at the end of his lifespan but possesses High-Level Law Sea Stage Cultivation?
This thought echoed in all their heads before they gasped.
As people in prominent positions, they knew the essential aspects of their Territory. Even Nora Alstreim knew about it, and her gasp was all the more evidence one needed to know that she knew who and how powerful the Ethren Empire’s Ancestor was...
These were people even they have to be aware of and be cautious since they could cause damage for the Alstreim Family if they decided to be reckless or perhaps, insane. One cannot easily provoke these kinds of characters!
After all, if they escaped, then the youths of their family who are out to temper themselves in this Territory could be easily slaughtered!
