Chapter 958: Chapter 957 First Targe

Ancestor Dian Alstreim's flashed with a dangerous light.

To Claire and Davis, it was obvious that the situation would decline if they were to reject this proposal.

'Talent is a significant factor to someone's survival when the higher-ups decide a junior's life...' Claire inwardly smiled. However, it was a wry smile that displayed her dislike of how a person's life is decided.

Supposedly, if Nora Alstreim's talent was greater than Davis, she had little doubt that the Ancestor would try anything in his power to stop them, perhaps even silence them. However, since Davis's talent remained greater, the Ancestor chose him.

"I understand. Now the oath if Ancestor will please..." Claire gestured with a polite smile on her face.

Ancestor Dian Alstreim inwardly heaved a sigh.

Convincing youngsters with words rather than fists turned out to be a thousand times difficult. He inwardly lamented that he was pushed into this position for the sake of the Alstreim Family's future. Otherwise, would he be wasting time here when he would just be done in a few seconds of displaying his hostile undulations that would invoke the fear of death within them?

He promptly swore an oath in front of the two of them while Claire and Davis did the same on accepting Ancestor's conditions. Since his mother was okay with not killing but torturing Nora Alstreim, he accepted the conditions as well.

However, he wondered where this decision would lead towards! He just hoped that it wouldn't result in a situation that is uncalled for, making things worse again!

Ancestor Dian Alstreim nodded his head as he heard their oath.

"Then let's go see your father."

Claire's expression froze before she shook her head, "I'd rather meet my father after I fulfilled my revenge. He had already suffered for me a lot and even sold the property to enhance my battle prowess. Now, he has a daughter and a wife to take care of, and I do not want to see my father to suffer again."

"Although it may be selfish of me, I do not want to involve my father in my quest for revenge as he is already... crippled."

She possessed a sorrowful expression on his face.

'You're a good daughter who will make her father proud...' Ancestor Dian Alstreim inwardly sighed and spoke.

"Is that so? Then it can wait..."

Davis and Claire nodded their heads.

Ancestor Dian Alstreim understood that since they already accepted his proposition, then it was through him that they were going to meet Edgar Alstreim.

Until then, it was not probable that they would meet as the news of Claire being alive is rather dangerous to the current Alstreim Family. It had to be done and under his watch, and they understood it as well. He, at least, felt thankful that they were cooperative rather than acting like a bunch of immature children who only seeks revenge while forgetting all the important things around them.

"Then I will take my leave then...' Ancestor Dian Alstreim clasped his hands before he turned around and left.

"That's right..." He suddenly stopped and turned his head to look back at them.

"I heard that the relations between Young Master Weiss Alstreim and Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim's group have broken up. Perhaps, is it time for the birth of a new Young Master in the Alstreim Family, no?"

He smiled in a grin on his lips before continuing to exit the Purple Guest Palace. It wasn't long before his figure disappeared from their gazes.

Claire frowned at his words before she looked at Davis.

Davis uninterestingly nodded his head, "He means that the way is clear for me to become the Young Master after I defeat or kill Weiss Alstreim. After all, the way he spoke clearly denotes that he doesn't care about Weiss Alstreim's life and death. His condition doesn't have Weiss Alstreim included in it."

"Talent, huh..." Claire sighed, "Weiss Alstreim should've been blessed by the heavens to come this far before being slain by you."

She patted his back, "Are you going to challenge him for the Young Master status?"

Davis hesitantly shook his head.

Claire possessed a wry smile on her face as she felt that this was expected, "Your lack of ambition sometimes makes me sigh in relief, but at times like these, I really want you to possess the Young Master status so that you can have influence in the Alstreim Family. There are many perks, with the most prominent one being that you can call an Elder to your aid, in a sense that is equal to your Protector."

"Even if you're not my child, the status of Young Master belongs to you when judging by the Alstreim Family's standards."

Davis pursed his lips as he explained, "Mother, you look at this one way, and I look at this from an overall perspective. Becoming the Young Master means that I not only can I have perks and influence but it also means that I have to take responsibility for the growth of the Alstreim Family in the future, which I don't want to involve myself in these matters."

"For the same reason, I do not want to become the Loret Empire as well."

Claire smiled before she reached out her hand to caress his cheek, "I'm proud of you, my son."

It was just a cold touch that was without any warmth since they were both in their soul bodies. However, soul bodies could also be said to be the amalgamation of a person's emotions. When Claire touched Davis's cheek, he could feel her feelings of contentment from her.

He could tell that she was incredibly proud of him.

Davis nodded his head, "I'm also proud of you, mother. To come this far and still be able to maintain sanity with your enemies in proximity is something that I'm incapable of..."

Claire giggled, "It's not like that... If you were all not here, I might not be able to hold myself back."

Davis chuckled back, "In any case, think properly about the Ancestor's proposition and come up with a suitable plan. Of course, as the Ancestor gave a hint, our first target would be Weiss Alstreim. Although I'm not sure whether if it's a bait aimed at us, we can still try as the consequences are something I can handle by myself."

"For all I care, Mother can just sneak into Weiss Alstreim's mansion and assassinate him, or you can let me do the job for you. Perhaps, it'll be over in just an instant."

Claire shook her head before she lowered it, "Weiss Alstreim... The main culprit responsible for the death of my mother, as well as the crippling of my father's dantian. If only that walking manifestation of greed and envy didn't exist, perhaps, none of this would've happened to us. Nora Alstreim wouldn't have dared to scheme against me either since I wouldn't have a weakness when my father remains the Young Master."

"So it is fitting and destiny-like that he is the first to die in my quest for revenge." Claire smiled as her lips widened while her fingers twitched with killing intent.

It was as if she could not wait to rip out his heart by her own two hands!
