Divine Emperor Of Death Chapter 840
Advertisement
Davis sized up his mother a bit and said, "Looks like Mother has finally made up your mind on what to do after reaching the Alstreim Family's territory."
"Of course!" Claire smiled.
"It's been too long. The moment I've been waiting for is just a bit out of my reach. With your and Princess Isabella's help, I will be able to obtain justice!"
In Claire's perception, Davis possessed a few mysterious means and Nadia while Princess Isabella is actually comparable to High-Level Law Sea Stage Experts!
Claire's purple eyes shook, "Whoever is responsible for plotting against my father and me, I'll have them pay for their crimes! Even if I can't kill them, I'll send them to the enforcement hall to be punished accordingly with my talent and strength!"
"So, in the end, we will come out on top, and none of us will be harmed!"
"Even if you can't kill them?" Davis repeated the words as he narrowed his eyes, "Mother is worried about the Alstreim Family's Ancestor?"
"Not only the Ancestor but the Grand Elders as well... With Princess Isabella, no Elder should be able to put up a fight with her." Claire said, but she abruptly narrowed her eyes and stood up, "Davis, could it be that you're thinking of battling with the Ancestor!?
"That's suicide!" Claire's expression became aghast.
"Davis! Whatever you're thinking of, don't ever offend the Ancestor! Your Supreme Soul Stage Soul Forging Cultivation is useless in front of the Ancestor's might. You will not be able to survive! The Ancestor is a Ninth Stage Powerhouse who oversees this whole Territory."
"You said yourself that your master wouldn't interfere with your life and death anymore! Whatever you do, just don't underestimate anyone and don't ever offend the Ancestor!" Claire pleaded.
It was as if she knew that he would be reckless or call his mysterious master for aid. Her moist purple eyes pleaded him to not be hasty and unbridled in the Alstreim Family. At least, not in front of the Ancestor.

Davis became taken aback before he cast Misdirection and Heart Intent, "Is the Ancestor involved in making you suffer? Answer this truthfully, Mother!"
"No!" Claire shook her head, "The Ancestor was in seclusion even before I was born. I haven't even seen the Ancestor, not even once."
Davis fell silent for a few seconds before he nodded his read, making Claire heave a sigh of relief.
In any case, to kill the Alstreim Family's Ancestor with Fallen Heaven would make him sacrifice an enormous amount of soul essence, at least fifty percent by his calculations. If he lost that much, then there's a chance that he would faint right at the spot, or his soul might even die from shock.
He felt that it was better to follow his mother's words and be a bit restrained in front of the Alstreim Family's Ancestor. After all, he still had to play the part of the Conferred Queen's Protector.
If he actually became tame in front of a powerhouse, his disguise would be seen through instead!
"That's right. What is the name of this so-called Ancestor? What does the Alstreim Family's Ancestor look like? A male or a female?"
"The Alstreim Family's Ancestor is a man... It is said that he hasn't married and have no direct descendants by far." Claire revealed as she waved her hand....
Her soul force came out of her finger and took form into a middle-aged man with princely features. There was no color in soul force, so his hair and the pupils of his eyes remained colorless. His eyes and brows looked sharp and shrewd, but his loosely worn robes hid his body that might've otherwise looked frail, like a feminine body with no bosoms.
"No descendants? Is mother sure that this person has really lived for thousands of years?" Davis really had to doubt this point.
"Yes, Ancestor is also called the second Ancestor. There were first and third Ancestor's, but they both died, leaving only the second Ancestor. As for Ancestor's descendants, there are many rumors that spread in the family, so I can't be sure which one is the truth."

"Nevertheless, it is common knowledge that the Ancestor has no descendants. This is the reason I am sure that our Ancestor had no part in making me and my father suffer. There isn't anything to gain for the Ancestor, and neither does the Ancestor has any need to side with those plotters. At least, it is the case as far as I know."
"After all, one word from the Ancestor can move heaven and earth within the Alstreim Family. There is no need for a character like the Ancestor to scheme at all, at least on the surface." Claire smiled slightly.
"Hmph! Mother seems to respect your Ancestor a lot! For how irresponsible he is, I would've thrown him to the trash if I were his father!" Davis angrily replied.
Claire wryly pursed her lips, "Davis, governing a huge family with millions of members isn't so simple... The Ancestor's role is to protect the family from powerful external threats and make sure the family flourishes no matter what. Two ancestors have already given their lives for this, leading to prosperity. However, prosperity also leads to laziness and corruption that focuses on benefits."
"Besides, it is some of the Grand Elders and Elders who takes care of the family's internal affairs while the Disciplinary Hall takes the disciplinary action. The Ancestor almost has nothing to do with my matter. Otherwise, do you truly expect the Ancestor to spare his time and take care of millions of people?"
"Look at me. I left Clara, Diana, and Edward back in the Grand Sea Continent to fulfill something stupid such as revenge, because, in the end, it may cost us our life! Aren't I stupid to be sacrificing our lives when I should be pointing a proper way to live for you all?"
"Aren't I stupid to be here instead of looking after my children grow, giving them a good and genuine life!?"
"My poor Edward! I wonder what he is doing? Is he missing me? Missing us? I feel like I haven't given him half the attention I gave you..."
"What about my sweet and beloved Diana? I hope she is safe and hasn't resorted to any mischief..."
"Clara... I hope she smiles every day... I want to make her smile... I want to make all three of them laugh and smile!"
"But! I spent most of my time on cultivation for this stupid thing known as revenge!"
Claire's whole body intensely trembled as she screamed.
"I'm a failure of a mother!"
Davis became a little guilty as he stood up and consoled his mother. He eyed his father to come help, and with a sigh, Logan stepped forwards and embraced Claire, letting her cry on his shoulder.
At first, Claire was just trying to explain why the Ancestor wasn't at fault, but she started tearing up and poured out her emotions as she got to the end. It could be seen that she was deeply missing her children and half regretting her action of coming here. After all, as for the other half, there was still her father to consider.
Maybe after seeing that her father, Edgar Alstreim was alive and well with a new family, even fathering a child, a daughter who looked similar to her, perhaps she was already satisfied in her heart, and revenge became something that existed in her heart just for satisfaction instead of a need.
Claire's motherly nature won out in the end, or it should be better said that her motherly nature took hold of her will now that she knows that her father is safe!
