Davis looked at Grand Elder Elise Alstreim sob like a child. He knew that this woman was present in the distance from the moment this battle began, but contrary to what he thought, that she would try to sabotage this life and death battle, she was instead pleading on her knees as if she was a helpless woman.
After all, it was possible for a Peak-Level Law Sea Stage Expert to kill most of the people present in this place and save Weiss Alstreim. If she really wanted to... she would've already done it judging her character he heard from his mother.
Straightforward, haughty, and brimming with energy. These were Grand Elder Elise Alstreim's character in three terms.
He wondered what kind of change had befallen in her within these few months to turn her into a helpless woman like this, and the only thing he could think of was Ancestor Dian Alstreim's warning that Weiss Alstreim and Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim's group had fallen out.
Even Nora Alstreim had confirmed it when she urged them not to take revenge against Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim and the others.
Weiss Alstreim's eyes shook open as he groaned.
Edgar Alstreim glanced back at him and thought of pummeling him back to an unconscious state before he thought of something else. His lips curved into a smirk as his soul force suddenly surged out from his soul sea, rushing towards Weiss Alstreim's forehead.
Weiss Alstreim's eyes instantly shot wide open as he felt the foreign invasion to his soul sea! He quickly counterattacked, but it was already too late as his defenses only managed to curb half of what entered!
*PaahH~*
A slap echoed again, causing Weiss Alstreim to faint a second time from the sheer trembling he received to his soul.
"Heh, you really can't find a way to manually activate the protective treasure, can you?" Edgar Alstreim sneered.
The protective artifact was connected to one's soul, so it knew at the moment when the soul instinctively felt that its life was in danger, the protective artifact would react, but since Edgar Alstreim had only slapped, it failed to react.
Only if Weiss Alstreim had manually activated it with his soul force would the protective artifact protected him from his slap.
Edgar Alstreim raised his hand to torture again.
"No!~ Please don't hurt him anymore!" Grand Elder Elise Alstreim cried out.
Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim suddenly appeared behind Grand Elder Elise Alstreim and patted her shoulder as he consoled. Even after a betrayal like that, she still wasn't able to completely let go. Even if they exiled Weiss Alstreim, he still seemed to possess a special place in her heart.
She truly thought of Weiss Alstreim as a grandson, unlike the bastard himself, who seemed to have only relied on her for his own personal benefits.
Edgar Alstreim turned around and asked, "What do you want?"
Grand Elder Elise Alstreim bit her lips before she silently uttered, "Please let Weiss go..."
"Alright." Edgar Alstreim suddenly uttered, causing the whole crowd to become astonished!
Davis blinked, and Claire seemed to have a similar reaction.
They were starting to think if they should let him know that they were here to back him up. However, what Edgar Alstreim said next made them relax.
"Return my Julianna, and admit the mistakes, the wrongs, the schemes you have done against my family."
Grand Elder Elise Alstreim's expression froze. She looked as if she had seen a ghost before she shook her head, "I can't."
Edgar Alstreim sneered, "So be it-"
"But I can admit my mistakes..." Grand Elder Elise Alstreim reiterated.
Edgar Alstreim became shocked as he looked at her.
A Grand Elder was willing to admit her mistakes?
'There is no way that she would be this gullible!"
"But make an oath that you will release him, and in addition to admitting my mistakes, I will make an oath that Weiss Alstreim would be ousted from the Young Master's status, and I will not allow him to harm you or anyone for that matter anymore." Grand Elder Elise Alstreim gave her conditions with an indifferent expression on her face.
Everyone possessed a confused expression on their faces. No one knew what was going in Grand Elder Elise Alstreim's mind since the conditions she placed was going to harm her in all ways.
She was already infamous for bringing a calamity, the Aqua Flood Dragon, to the Alstreim Family, and now if she were to admit her mistakes on a public platform, she would no longer be able to escape from being punished by the Ancestor!
She was essentially ruining her own life by admitting her mistakes, hence the startled faces.
Edgar Alstreim was truly taken aback, but before he could ask, Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim seem to be against it as they seem to be speaking by using soul transmission.
He didn't know what plan they had in mind, or they were coming up with, but he spoke.
"In any case..." His words caught the attention of everyone, "There are no negotiations without Julianna, so even if you admit your mistakes or state the obvious yet hidden truth, it is useless to me at this point."
Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim seemed to visibly heave a sigh of relief, but Grand Elder Elise Alstreim acted startled before her expression became awry again.
"No, don't do this... We can talk this out!"
"Elise, stop this! So what if you still have a place for him in your heart? I won't allow him into our family after what he had done!" Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim uttered, causing Grand Elder Elise Alstreim to look back at him.
"Father!" She wept, "I know, but I still can't let him die!"
"Shut up!" Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim rebuked, "If you hadn't spoiled him in the beginning, all of this wouldn't have happened in the first place!"
Grand Elder Elise Alstreim's expression shook as tears fell out of her eyes. She didn't look like a grand character but a spoiled daughter who expressed her intent through silence instead.
The crowd became flabbergasted.
Exactly what was happening here? Instead of saving Weiss Alstreim, why does it seem like they planned to abandon or imprison him once saved? Moreover, it seemed as if they have already fallen out when judging by Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim's words.
Davis almost had the urge to scratch his head in confusion.
Why wasn't this devolving into a true, all-out life and death battle?
He was prepared to stake it all in this event, but it wasn't supposed to go like this in the simulation he ran in his head just a while ago.
Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim's expression became soft as he sighed, but he still shook his head, "We have already exiled Weiss Alstreim, and due to your request, I had refrained from declaring the news of his exile."
"What more do you want when he still hasn't come to see you all this time, not even once but maintained his delusion of arrogance and vanity?"
"Why are you harming yourself for this ungrateful character? Do you not see me, your father worrying for you?"
Grand Elder Elise Alstreim's lips quivered as she lowered her head. Perhaps, she really was foolish enough to back Weiss Alstreim once again, but she merely followed what her heart wished for her to do. She didn't want to see the person, the grandson she showered her love from when he was a little boy, dying a dog's death.
She was even ready to be imprisoned, after all; as her father said, without her spoiling, he might not have turned out like this, making her believe that the fault was with her.
"Uhh... Sorry to trouble you all but Edgar Alstreim..."
Everyone's head swiveled in a direction but what came into their view was a person with poise and a smirk on his lips, floating in the air with an alluring woman and two masked people.
"I think I can cast a slave seal technique on Weiss Alstreim to bring out the truth you so require..."
"..."
"What!???"
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
