Chapter 1092 Negotiation To Release?
Davis looked at Grand Elder Elise Alstreim sob like a child. He knew that this woman was present in the distance from the moment this battle began, but contrary to what he thought, that she would try to sabotage this life and death battle, she was instead pleading on her knees as if she was a helpless woman.
After all, it was possible for a Peak-Level Law Sea Stage Expert to kill most of the people present in this place and save Weiss Alstreim. If she really wanted to... she would’ve already done it judging her character he heard from his mother.
Straightforward, haughty, and brimming with energy. These were Grand Elder Elise Alstreim’s character in three terms.
He wondered what kind of change had befallen in her within these few months to turn her into a helpless woman like this, and the only thing he could think of was Ancestor Dian Alstreim’s warning that Weiss Alstreim and Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim’s group had fallen out.
Even Nora Alstreim had confirmed it when she urged them not to take revenge against Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim and the others.
Weiss Alstreim’s eyes shook open as he groaned.
Edgar Alstreim glanced back at him and thought of pummeling him back to an unconscious state before he thought of something else. His lips curved into a smirk as his soul force suddenly surged out from his soul sea, rushing towards Weiss Alstreim’s forehead.
Weiss Alstreim’s eyes instantly shot wide open as he felt the foreign invasion to his soul sea! He quickly counterattacked, but it was already too late as his defenses only managed to curb half of what entered!
*PaahH~*
A slap echoed again, causing Weiss Alstreim to faint a second time from the sheer trembling he received to his soul.
"Heh, you really can’t find a way to manually activate the protective treasure, can you?" Edgar Alstreim sneered.
The protective artifact was connected to one’s soul, so it knew at the moment when the soul instinctively felt that its life was in danger, the protective artifact would react, but since Edgar Alstreim had only slapped, it failed to react.
Only if Weiss Alstreim had manually activated it with his soul force would the protective artifact protected him from his slap.
Edgar Alstreim raised his hand to torture again.
"No!~ Please don’t hurt him anymore!" Grand Elder Elise Alstreim cried out.
Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim suddenly appeared behind Grand Elder Elise Alstreim and patted her shoulder as he consoled. Even after a betrayal like that, she still wasn’t able to completely let go. Even if they exiled Weiss Alstreim, he still seemed to possess a special place in her heart.
She truly thought of Weiss Alstreim as a grandson, unlike the bastard himself, who seemed to have only relied on her for his own personal benefits.
"No, don’t do this... We can talk this out!"
"Elise, stop this! So what if you still have a place for him in your heart? I won’t allow him into our family after what he had done!" Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim uttered, causing Grand Elder Elise Alstreim to look back at him.
"Father!" She wept, "I know, but I still can’t let him die!"
"Shut up!" Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim rebuked, "If you hadn’t spoiled him in the beginning, all of this wouldn’t have happened in the first place!"
Grand Elder Elise Alstreim’s expression shook as tears fell out of her eyes. She didn’t look like a grand character but a spoiled daughter who expressed her intent through silence instead.
The crowd became flabbergasted.
Exactly what was happening here? Instead of saving Weiss Alstreim, why does it seem like they planned to abandon or imprison him once saved? Moreover, it seemed as if they have already fallen out when judging by Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim’s words.
Davis almost had the urge to scratch his head in confusion.
Why wasn’t this devolving into a true, all-out life and death battle?
He was prepared to stake it all in this event, but it wasn’t supposed to go like this in the simulation he ran in his head just a while ago.
Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim’s expression became soft as he sighed, but he still shook his head, "We have already exiled Weiss Alstreim, and due to your request, I had refrained from declaring the news of his exile."
"What more do you want when he still hasn’t come to see you all this time, not even once but maintained his delusion of arrogance and vanity?"
"Why are you harming yourself for this ungrateful character? Do you not see me, your father worrying for you?"
Grand Elder Elise Alstreim’s lips quivered as she lowered her head. Perhaps, she really was foolish enough to back Weiss Alstreim once again, but she merely followed what her heart wished for her to do. She didn’t want to see the person, the grandson she showered her love from when he was a little boy, dying a dog’s death.
She was even ready to be imprisoned, after all; as her father said, without her spoiling, he might not have turned out like this, making her believe that the fault was with her.
"Uhh... Sorry to trouble you all but Edgar Alstreim..."
Everyone’s head swiveled in a direction but what came into their view was a person with poise and a smirk on his lips, floating in the air with an alluring woman and two masked people.
"I think I can cast a slave seal technique on Weiss Alstreim to bring out the truth you so require..."
"..."
"What!???"
