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."

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!
