Chapter 1021 Mutual Trust Betrayed?
Nora Alstreim remained shocked at the sight in front of her. Those black robes that were splattered with a few drops of her blood appeared in her view, making her astonished as well as confused.
Why did Claire protect her from harm just now?
Claire held back Davis as she held his wrist and moved it away as if she was not at all afraid of getting grazed by the terrifying black lightning, "What are you doing?"
She couldn’t help but ask, thinking that Davis was just trying to intimidate her but looking at his serious and cold expression, even she felt that something was strange with him.
"Murdering her in cold blood..."
"What!? You can’t!" Claire’s lips trembled, "’He’ wouldn’t allow it!"
"Ancestor Dian Alstreim said that we can’t kill her but so what?" Davis retorted.
"!!!" Nora Alstreim reacted. Her eyes were wide, and her slightly torn lips were agape in disbelief.
The Ancestor... had abandoned her?
Wait! The Ancestor knew that Claire was alive but didn’t do anything to interrogate her!? A person who had been said to have died at the Forsaken Phoenix Realm ends up appearing with both flesh and soul intact but wasn’t investigated?
She found it hard to believe, and she quickly became lost, wondering what and all is currently happening in her Alstreim Family without her knowledge.
Claire frowned. She had mentioned Ancestor Dian Alstreim using ’he’, but Davis revealed who it was instead.
’No matter...’ She didn’t become worried since Nora Alstreim was already in their grasp.
"Do you feel hopeless? Despairing? Anguished? Perhaps, deep pain in your soul?" Claire once again said as she repeated.
Nora Alstreim suddenly felt like she heard something funny that she giggled.
"I never counted on that old fart in the first place..."
Her laughter was because she realized that she was the sacrifice to make Claire spill out the truth.
"Hehehe... It looks like you still haven’t realized it yet, but I guess it is for the best." Claire giggled at her inappropriate words and didn’t bother to reveal that they were mother and son.
"And this is the Nora I know, feisty and rebellious..."
"Making you cough out the truth while simultaneously having my revenge will be more fulfilling than ever..." A mocking smile hung on her lips.
Davis looked at these two women fight back and forth before his lips twitched.
Their hatred for each other was actually... less... making him a bit dumbfounded!
Right when they sealed Nora Alstreim’s cultivation, he knew that his mother was seething with hatred! In fact, only hatred was present in her emotions that made her terrifyingly calm. She even slapped and dragged Nora Alstreim by the hair like she was a slave, making Nora Alstreim feel utter humiliation.
But now, for some unknown reason, his mother was feeling less hatred and more confusion and hesitation.
Was it because she released her hatred from pummeling Nora Alstreim’s face to a wreck? Was his mother’s revenge such a measly entertainment that it got less after releasing steam?
’Clearly not!’ Davis felt that it shouldn’t be the case.
On the other hand, he could feel that Nora Alstreim was completely angered. He didn’t know that her anger was directed at herself, so he mused that it was directed at his mother. However, unlike Claire’s hatred, which was a burning and volcanic type of emotion that should erupt at any time, Nora Alstreim’s was just a lake of flames that could moderately be extinguished.
Clearly, their hatred for each other hadn’t reached sky high!
Davis weighed his options before he looked at his mother.
Originally, he really thought of taking Nora Alstreim’s life if the hatred was unresolvable, but he wanted to know whether if his mother would block him or not. She indeed did block him. Although his mother used a different reason, he could sense that she was actually hesitating through his Heart Intent.
Could it be that his mother started to believe Nora Alstreim’s words of innocence?
But how can it be so when her hatred should be most of the time blinding her from the truth? Even if Nora Alstreim swore to the heavens that she wasn’t, Claire’s hatred towards Nora Alstreim wouldn’t have lessened this drastically.
Davis contemplated as to why for a few seconds before he finally arrived at an answer!
’Of course, the suppression of the soul sea!’
’No wonder...’ Davis became convinced of his deduction before he decided to go with the other plan he came up with.
If the initial plan was to kill Nora Alstreim and end this farce, then the second plan was to...
