Nora Alstreim remained shocked at the sight in front of her. Those black robes that were splattered with a few drops of her blood appeared in her view, making her astonished as well as confused.Why did Claire protect her from harm just now?Claire held back Davis as she held his wrist and moved it away as if she was not at all afraid of getting grazed by the terrifying black lightning, "What are you doing?"She couldn't help but ask, thinking that Davis was just trying to intimidate her but looking at his serious and cold expression, even she felt that something was strange with him."Murdering her in cold blood...""What!? You can't!" Claire's lips trembled, "'He' wouldn't allow it!""Ancestor Dian Alstreim said that we can't kill her but so what?" Davis retorted."!!!" Nora Alstreim reacted. Her eyes were wide, and her slightly torn lips were agape in disbelief.The Ancestor... had abandoned her? Wait! The Ancestor knew that Claire was alive but didn't do anything to interrogate her!? A person who had been said to have died at the Forsaken Phoenix Realm ends up appearing with both flesh and soul intact but wasn't investigated?She found it hard to believe, and she quickly became lost, wondering what and all is currently happening in her Alstreim Family without her knowledge.Claire frowned. She had mentioned Ancestor Dian Alstreim using 'he', but Davis revealed who it was instead.'No matter...' She didn't become worried since Nora Alstreim was already in their grasp.

"Do you feel hopeless? Despairing? Anguished? Perhaps, deep pain in your soul?" Claire once again said as she repeated.Nora Alstreim suddenly felt like she heard something funny that she giggled."I never counted on that old fart in the first place..." Her laughter was because she realized that she was the sacrifice to make Claire spill out the truth.Claire gets her crazy revenge, Ancestor Dian Alstreim gets his way to the Forsaken Phoenix Realm, and she ends up dead as the sacrifice!"How laughable... Hehe..." Nora Alstreim laughed like she became crazy as if she hated this life.She felt like a fool to have thought that Claire helped her for a moment! She suddenly raised her head and spat out with a cold expression."Why don't you stay dead!? You crazy woman!"Claire stared at her coldly before she snorted with a smile. She turned to look at Davis and explained."Look, Davis. I still have to make this woman publicly confess her crimes. Besides, we still have to get Weiss Alstreim to publicly confess and die in front of the crowd. Before that, we can't possibly kill her.""Yes, but we have made a huge mistake..." Davis shook his head as he withdrew his black arcs of lightning, "Enmity has already been formed.""What do you mean...?" Claire narrowed her brows.The wordings he initially put, 'Murdering her in cold blood.' caught her attention, making her feel more doubtful.Davis released his breath in exasperation before he responded in soul transmission, "Did you find this whole thing... difficult? I'm asking because I saw that you were shedding tears when there is no need for you to..." Follow current on novel-online.com
Claire's expression faded before she indifferently nodded her head, "I thought this woman was someone whom I could trust in the past.""Why?"Claire turned to look at Nora Alstreim, and the latter didn't avoid as they hatefully looked at each other."Because she was the only person who didn't belittle my father or take the chance to kick him while he was down. I actually felt like we were close sisters! Or friends as you would like to call it!""Nevertheless, I should've known better!" Claire gritted her teeth in hatred.Her expression quickly returned to normal before she smiled and opened her mouth as she voiced out, "No matter... I've already broken her two-faced ugly beauty. Right now, I feel refreshed! "Nora, this miserable expression you have fits you the most!""You're a shameless cheap woman! Look at you two act so close in front of me! Pui!" Nora Alstreim became angered as she retorted back.She spat blood on the ground, hatefully casting a look at them. Right now, she was aware that she was courting death but couldn't be bothered anymore! She was utterly angered at herself rather than at Claire because she acted pathetic just a while ago.She felt that she would rather die than beg or act helpless!"Hehehe... It looks like you still haven't realized it yet, but I guess it is for the best." Claire giggled at her inappropriate words and didn't bother to reveal that they were mother and son."And this is the Nora I know, feisty and rebellious...""Making you cough out the truth while simultaneously having my revenge will be more fulfilling than ever..." A mocking smile hung on her lips.Davis looked at these two women fight back and forth before his lips twitched. Follow current on storynovel.net
Their hatred for each other was actually... less... making him a bit dumbfounded!Right when they sealed Nora Alstreim's cultivation, he knew that his mother was seething with hatred! In fact, only hatred was present in her emotions that made her terrifyingly calm. She even slapped and dragged Nora Alstreim by the hair like she was a slave, making Nora Alstreim feel utter humiliation.But now, for some unknown reason, his mother was feeling less hatred and more confusion and hesitation.Was it because she released her hatred from pummeling Nora Alstreim's face to a wreck? Was his mother's revenge such a measly entertainment that it got less after releasing steam?'Clearly not!' Davis felt that it shouldn't be the case.On the other hand, he could feel that Nora Alstreim was completely angered. He didn't know that her anger was directed at herself, so he mused that it was directed at his mother. However, unlike Claire's hatred, which was a burning and volcanic type of emotion that should erupt at any time, Nora Alstreim's was just a lake of flames that could moderately be extinguished.Clearly, their hatred for each other hadn't reached sky high!Davis weighed his options before he looked at his mother. Originally, he really thought of taking Nora Alstreim's life if the hatred was unresolvable, but he wanted to know whether if his mother would block him or not. She indeed did block him. Although his mother used a different reason, he could sense that she was actually hesitating through his Heart Intent.Could it be that his mother started to believe Nora Alstreim's words of innocence?But how can it be so when her hatred should be most of the time blinding her from the truth? Even if Nora Alstreim swore to the heavens that she wasn't, Claire's hatred towards Nora Alstreim wouldn't have lessened this drastically.Davis contemplated as to why for a few seconds before he finally arrived at an answer!'Of course, the suppression of the soul sea!''No wonder...' Davis became convinced of his deduction before he decided to go with the other plan he came up with.If the initial plan was to kill Nora Alstreim and end this farce, then the second plan was to...
