The crowd went wide-eyed at Alchemist Davis’s statement. Some only managed to recognize his name after hearing his words, but many knew that he was already present.
But to think that he could do something like that, they were not surprised but a bit astonished.
After all, it was a wide known fact that he had reached the Mature Soul Stage. To Alchemist Davis, enslaving a member of the younger generation should be easy as flipping his finger. Ultimately, the younger generation below four hundred years old hadn’t even reached Elder Soul Stage yet.
How could they possibly resist Alchemist Davis’s Mature Soul Stage soul force that is two or three stages higher than them once caught?
“Would Alchemist Davis truly help me find out the truth of what had happened?” Edgar Alstreim asked with a gleam in his eyes.
He wanted to know the truth but was afraid that the safety of his family would be jeopardized by Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim. He had the support of his father-in-law, but he didn’t want to needlessly burden him or take a wrong decision.
However, now that Alchemist Davis’s words signified that he was backing him, it would be rather easier and relatively safer to know the truth that happened when his Julianna was killed, making him and everyone present here to know what exactly had happened.
Alchemist Davis had given his word that he wouldn’t harm him or his daughter back in the mansion, and after having something like his lower dantian healed, he possessed a sliver of trust in him, enough to take a step forward and see the dispute to the end, resolving it to his heart’s content.
He could’ve done this by himself, but his Adult Soul Stage soul force was quite lacking to place a slave seal on Weiss Alstreim, and even if he placed a seal, it was unknown if Weiss Alstreim would obey his words from the fear of losing his life.
Even though his chances were greater, he doubted if even a few people here would allow him to enslave Weiss Alstreim. After all, they might allow him to kill but not enslave as who knew what kind of deed they and Weiss Alstreim were involved in?
They might want him dead as much as he did, if not greater, for pure benefits.
“Of course!” Davis possessed a smirk on his lips, “I had the opportunity to learn a bit from Young Mistress’s Protector, so I do indeed think that I have the ability to arbitrarily and forcefully enslave Weiss Alstreim, making him spill out whatever truth you want.”
Edgar Alstreim became elated as he heard that the Dragon Queen’s Protector had trained Alchemist Davis!
Almost everyone present here knew that Algos Yantra, an Elder of the Yantra Family, was enslaved by the Dragon Queen’s Protector and made to spill out the truth, which in turn caused them to know about a massive uprising in their Territory as well give them the preemptive shot to root out the dissidents!
They had even successfully captured hostages and exchanged them with the Yantra Family for a lump sum of Peak-Level Spirit Stones! This was the actual incident that made them look at the Dragon Queen and her Protector in a new light!
Edgar Alstreim gave his approval as he clasped his hands, “Then I’ll obli-“
“Hmph!”
Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim’s flickered as he quickly expressed his dissatisfaction, “In a life and death battle taking place in the No Same Sky Martial Platform, outsiders can’t interfere.”
He didn’t care for Weiss Alstreim’s life, but he cannot allow them to enslave Weiss Alstreim since their safety, status, and reputation would be in jeopardy.
Davis merely let out a chuckle, “I won’t interfere. In any case, I can still make Weiss Alstreim spill out the truth after having him enslaved by Edgar Alstreim.”
“It is all the same to me…”
Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim’s became cold. He cannot allow this matter to proceed.
“No! According to the rules of the No Same Sky Martial Platform, especially when it concerns two people of immense status, one is not allowed to enslave the looser.”
“Ah, yes…” Edgar Alstreim didn’t look dejected, but he smiled, “I know that rule, but if the opponent willfully concedes, the winner is free to enslave the opponent.”
“Am I wrong?”
Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim increasingly became irritated. When had he been this cornered by a junior?
Grand Elder Elise Alstreim, his daughter, had enabled Weiss Alstreim to become a spoiled, silk pants young master, and on the other hand, since he didn’t want his daughter to take the blame, he covered her tracks, making her fault his own.
So if Weiss Alstreim were to spill out the truth, even his daughter would end up bearing the brunt of it! He couldn’t have that pass no matter what!
“I’ll give you a quarter of my entire property in the Grand Alstreim City…” Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim uttered in a monotonous voice, “Just kill Weiss Alstreim and be done with it. There’s no need for you to dig up the past!”
Grand Elder Elise Alstreim looked at her father with wide eyes, but she didn’t say anything and lowered her head. She knew that he was doing this for her.
She cursed herself for not being a good daughter, always burdening her father too much.
Edgar Alstreim’s eyes flashed.
How many Peak-Level Spirit Stones was that? It was in immovable assets, but even then, he felt that it amount to more than a million Peak-Level Spirit Stones!
It was certainly tempting! He would’ve killed Weiss Alstreim for being given nothing but a character is giving him more than a million Peak-Level Spirit Stones for doing the same thing. This was an extravagant profit in his dictionary.
In truth, he had already taken most of his revenge that concerned Julianna. He had indeed killed the person who killed Julianna, but that person should be nothing more than a pawn in his perspective. He knew that Weiss Alstreim should be behind this but lacked the evidence.
He felt that if he could prove this conjecture, Julianna’s soul might be able to peacefully cross to her next life.
However, that wasn’t his main worry because he badly wanted to know the truth behind Claire’s disappearance!
In his perspective, he felt that Weiss Alstreim should know something regarding Claire.
If Alchemist Davis wasn’t present, he felt like he would’ve taken this ‘extravagant profit’ while prioritizing the safety of his family.
“I’ll thank you for the offer, but I don’t need anything other than the truth.” Edgar Alstreim officially turned down, causing Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim’s face to fall.
However…
“Edgar Alstreim! You can’t do this!”
“The rules aren’t clear!”
“We must consult someone all the Elders and Grand Elders to allow you to enslave a Young Master who has yet to concede!”
“That’s right! You haven’t even officially reinstated to be the Young Master yet! How can you have so much arrogance when speaking with a Grand Elder!?” Even Elder Zeno Alstreim seemed to pipe-in in support, making Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim inwardly nod.
The other Elders were no longer able to keep quiet. They were afraid that they would be exposed to Weiss Alstreim’s enslavement together with Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim.
To get into good terms with the Young Master, the next potential Patriarch, they had offered some benefits that bordered on degeneracy. If this comes to know to the public, they might have no face left to travel around.
Edgar Alstreim frowned as he saw that the voices against him enslaving Weiss Alstreim were rather strong enough to inhibit him.
If it was like this, then once he enslaved Weiss Alstreim, effectively ending the life and death battle, one of them might quickly move to kill Weiss Alstreim, essentially making his actions redundant.
He was just about to console them that he wouldn’t ask anything other than problems relating to his revenge when…
“I’ll allow it!” A majestic voice suddenly echoed, causing the crowd to swivel their heads while their eyes landed on a pale-faced white-robed young man.
“An- A-Ancestor!!!”
