Chapter 1110 Part Of The Alstreim Family?
Claire’s tears cascaded down her cheeks, her smile becoming drowned in untold emotions. Now that both of the Grand Elders had left, she was no longer able to maintain that cold expression.
She flew towards her Edgar Alstreim, once again wanting to feel his fatherly embrace.
Edgar Alstreim embraced her back without any hesitation. He stayed silent, just letting her cry on his shoulders. However, his trembling body sold out his true emotions.
On the other hand, Patriarch Eldric Alstreim, who still stayed, became dumbfounded. This demon, which had just finished making them do shameful things, was now crying herself, sobbing, and embracing her father like a little girl. He finally realized that perhaps, her bravado was an act all along.
He let out a breath of air, and ruefully shook his head.
However, as the Patriarch, he was unable to let go of another matter that concerned the fate of the Alstreim Family in the Fifty-Two Territories.
He turned his head to look at the genius, Alchemist Davis, as his eyes flashed with a splendid light.The inaugural upload of this chapter took place via N0v3l-B1n.
"Are you truly Claire Alstreim’s son?"
Davis pointed at Ancestor Dian Alstreim, "Your Ancestor even checked my soul..."
Patriarch Eldric Alstreim became taken aback as he turned to look at Ancestor Dian Alstreim, "The Soul-Bloodline Chamber!?"
Ancestor Dian Alstreim perfunctorily nodded his head, "There’s no need to worry, Eldric. I have personally checked his soul, and he did indeed positively react to one of our Ancestors’ remnant soul wisp."
"Apart from that, I need you to be magnanimous. After all, there will come a time where you would have to step down as the Patriarch, and I hope that you can fairly accept the result." Ancestor Dian Alstreim politely remarked.
Patriarch Eldric Alstreim’s expression became complex as he cast a look back at Davis. Indeed, since Alchemist Davis was talented than him, there would come a time where he would have to let go of his position as the Patriarch to reinstate a new Patriarch!
Edgar Alstreim’s eyes flashed with a confused light as he saw their communication before realization dawned on him.
’So this was what Ancestor meant when he said that I would willingly let go of my Young Master status...’
Edgar Alstreim couldn’t help but softly laugh and feel immense pride. His daughter had given birth to an extremely capable son, but he still felt disbelief over it that he couldn’t help but wryly laugh at the heavens.
What was it doing? Taking everything from him one day and granting him everything on another day?
He couldn’t comprehend its mysterious intent!
Claire also stopped crying as she separated from Edgar Alstreim. Looking at him have a starstruck expression on his face, her lips couldn’t help but curve into a proud smile as she traced his gaze towards Davis.
She waited for her father to ask about her son and husband instead of introducing them by herself as she felt nervous.
Patriarch Eldric Alstreim visibly sighed, "Does this mean that Alc- Davis Alstreim is going to be one of us and not the Dragon Queen’s subordinate? I can’t imagine a person of her caliber letting him go..."
Ancestor Dian Alstreim frowned. This matter was precisely in his mind right now, and he didn’t know a suitable way to tackle it. He could only look at Davis for some answers since it was Davis who said that he might completely side with the Dragon Queen if he did not help in Claire’s revenge.
Those decisions that related to the life and death of the Alstreim Family relied solely on the whim of the Ancestor!
Ancestor Dian Alstreim chuckled, "Such a foolish question. The Alstreim Family might have internal squabbles, but united, no one can do anything to us. Did you know that the Ancestor after the Founder self-destructed when the Young Master at that time invited a calamity from a power belonging to a large-sized Territory?"
"That history caused all of us descendants to be united in the face of external threat, and even in death..." Ancestor Dian Alstreim smirked, his voice laded with unconcealed proudness.
"If you were brought up here from when you were a child, you would’ve been taught about the Alstreim Family’s grand history..."
"Time flows; people change... Don’t claim past glories that don’t belong to you; instead, re-enact the glory in the present..." Davis coldly spoke, "I owe the Alstreim Family nothing!"
"Just say if you are capable of protecting or not?"
Ancestor Dian Alstreim’s expression fell. He took a deep breath, calming himself down.
’He’s an arrogant brat who had probably faced no setbacks with his power... Calm yourself, Dian. It isn’t worth getting heated over the insolence of a less than thirty-year-old child...’
Patriarch Eldric Alstreim became dumbfounded. How can he be so disrespectful to the Ancestor!? Looking at Ancestor Dian Alstreim’s dark face, he felt goosebumps all over his body.
He hurriedly wanted to stop the Ancestor from accidentally killing the Alstreim Family’s genius but relaxed as he heard the next words.
"The Alstreim Family will protect your family even if you invite a Peak-Level Emperor Grade calamity..." Ancestor Dian Alstreim coldly spoke, "Is this enough?"
Davis’s cold expression turned into an abnormally cold smile, "Remember your words, Ancestor Dian Alstreim. If the Alstreim Family doesn’t, then I will raze it myself to the ground, letting it be engulfed in its very own fire its proud of..."
The temperature of the surrounding suddenly increased.
Everyone looked at Davis in incredulity, wondering what was wrong with him?
Logan blinked as his mind stopped working.
Evelynn practically had her heart almost leap out in terror.
Edgar Alstreim and Claire were practically covered in a cold sweat.
It was one thing to be bold against the Grand Elders who had wronged them, but to maintain that same attitude to an existence which only needs a twitch of their finger to kill, even going far as to threaten that existence, wasn’t that practically courting death?
Claire’s lips quivered, wanting to warn her son not to go too far with his words. However, she was unable to as she was afraid to break this silent atmosphere. She was afraid that her voice might inadvertently be the reason for a fire to ignite in this atmosphere. She wasn’t even able to think of sending a soul transmission at this instant.
*Bzzz!~*
The side of the concealment barrier abruptly broke, and three figures entered from the crack. A terrifying dark golden-horned wolf flew in, and two women were riding on it.
Riding on the front while having a cold expression on her face was a purple-haired woman, and behind her was a black-haired woman who seemed to be afraid of the purple-haired woman as her body trembled.
"How daring..."
"To snatch my subordinate without even saying a word about it to me, it seems like the Alstreim Family really has a..." The purple-haired woman’s expression became frighteningly frigid before her rosy lips moved.
"... death wish!"
