Divine Emperor of Death

"Krax, bring those two in question." Ancestor Dian Alstreim instructed.

Grand Elder Krax Alstreim stood up and bowed before he left the elevated platform. A few people gathered around him, who then quickly went to collect information as they separated.

On the other hand, a certain Elder's pupils trembled in nervousness. Some of the few people who were slightly in the know looked at him in a mocking light.

Daniuis became inwardly stunned.

Why did the Ancestor know so many things about him?

Was he truly going to be given justice?

Danius Alstreim didn't know about the Ancestor much and could only see through the events that would take place in a few minutes. However, the dormant awe and respect that he held for Ancestor became alive and conscious again.

"As for the Grand Elder of the Tripartite Alliance's Alstreim Family Faction, I heard that he was killed while his motives for being at that place, some kingdom I can't recall, were unclear. From your statement, I can see that it connects the dots. As for who that Tripartite Alliance's Grand Elder was working with, it should become clear in a few minutes, perhaps the way you expected." Ancestor Dian Alstreim calmly spoke.

Then as if he remembered something, he wryly chuckled, "I feel sorry for you two brothers. The Alstreim Family hasn't treated you two well."

"Ancestor... I..." Daniuis didn't know what to say.

Something was welling up within his heart. Perhaps being treated right, he started to feel that this place wasn't a lost cause after all. He had never seen the Ancestor before, but now that his Ancestor seemed to be upright and responsible, he felt that the Alstreim Family would perhaps move in the right direction.

Could it be that there was going to be reform?

But how? A reform meant that there would be enormous bloodshed within the family!

"You don't need to say anything. Just let me bestow the justice you deserve. In the meantime, perhaps you can catch up with your little brother, no?"

Daniuis's lips trembled.

He felt conflicted because he was working against the Alstreim Family right now with Davis and the others. Of course, he was someone who experienced betrayal and knew that people were always not whom they seem to be on the outside, but he felt that Ancestor Dian Alstreim simply did not need to act in front of him.

Unable to say anything, he just bowed once again, but with deep respect this time. Then, he turned back and spotted his younger brother, Edgar Alstreim, who seemed to be with the woman he had heard about from Claire.

Without caring for the gaze of the others, he flew back towards the corner.

Davis creased his brows in displeasure. He didn't even have the opportunity to create trouble. From the time they came here, most of their plan became sidetracked and unable to be implemented. However, considering that the way Ancestor Dian Alstreim is treating him and the others, he didn't feel surprised.

"I guess that there would be a spectacle to view. Let me see how the Ancestor of the Alstreim Family deals justice to his descendants." Davis, who used the Solitary Soul Avatar, uttered in a curious tone.

"Oh? The Protector will see my judgment in time, and perhaps, it would be satisfactory."

Davis inwardly sighed, but he just nodded his head.

Daniuis reached Edgar Alstreim and stood before him. A multitude of complex emotions welled up within his heart.

Edgar Alstreim also kept staring at his big brother. His eyes were welling up with emotions, wanting to ask so many things.

"Brother, is everyone safe?"

Daniuis wasn't surprised by this question. When they contacted each other through messaging talismans, he was the one who talked the most while Edgar Alstreim talked little. Hence, Edgar Alstreim knew about him more than he knew about Edgar Alstreim.

"Yes, my wives and children who were with me are all safe. I've safely hidden them before coming here." Daniuis responded.

Edgar Alstreim heaved a sigh of relief before pointing at his wife.

"Brother, this is my wife, Lia Alstreim. She is the only daughter of Elder Havle Alstreim."

Daniuis looked at Lia Alstreim and gave the nod while she gave a respectful bow.

"Husband has talked a lot about his elder brother. Now that I've seen brother-in-law myself, I can understand the reverence and praise my husband held towards you."

Daniuis wryly smiled.

What reverence?

What praise?

He didn't feel that it would be wrong to be hated and have his name smeared into crap by his own little brother.

Poor Edgar Alstreim never got to see his mother and father as they had left soon after giving birth to him and died two years later while doing a mission, so Daniuis was the one who actually brought up his little brother to be a man. They belonged to a branch family and were a family of two, with maids serving them.

Su Hualing, Su Huabing, and Su Huajing helped him take care of his little brother. He had also assigned a charming and innocent maid to be Edgar Alstreim's maid.

Edgar Alstreim grew up to be an extreme talent. His skills and prowess blinded the other talents, causing jealously and envy to take root in their hearts. Nevertheless, he wasn't worried since he believed that his little brother would shine with his talent.

Everything was going well, and Edgar Alstreim became the Young Master!

However, Edgar Alstreim fell in love with his own maid and fathered Claire. What's more, he did something absurd such as marrying that maid and gave her status that didn't suit her stature.

It was fine if Edgar Alstreim was just another ordinary Alstreim Family member, but he was the Young Master at that time. There was no way the hateful and envious people would accept a woman of a lower standing tower over their heads.

Even he felt that it wasn't appropriate.

Nevertheless, Claire's mother was framed and killed using that questionable reason while Edgar Alstreim was forced to step down from the Young Master position while being crippled. Daniuis was devastated to hear that news at the time. He was conflicted. He felt the need to do something at that time but didn't, and lost the opportunity to do so when he had the determination to do something.

However, it wasn't long before he was exiled because of a lascivious yet retarded son and a protective mother when he protected his three maids. Only then did he understand what his younger brother felt when he lost his wife. Fortunately, he was able to realize that in time, crippling that lascivious son to protect his maids, where they had now become his three lovable and precious wives.

When he chose to leave in exile, he had actually asked Edgar Alstreim to go with him, but the latter rejected. He understood that his little brother held complex feelings towards him, such as hate since he didn't help him at that time. Feeling guilty himself, he finally left with the triplets and his loyal butler, leaving the entire family property in Edgar Alstreim's name.

It wasn't a short amount. It could reach two thousand Peak-Level Spirit Stones in value! He left it all to his little brother out of the guilt he felt. He was no longer there to look after his younger brother and was forced to look after his own skin in the Tripartite Alliance Territory.

He accepted his fate and his own conflicting thoughts before he accepted them, making love with Su Hualing, Su Huabing, and Su Huajing, creating a family and establishing the Cloud Spring Mercenaries.

However, so many things happened in the end that he was unable to rebuild the relationship with his little brother.

In short, their relationship was nothing but complicated, so Lia Alstreim's praise instead came off as sarcasm and blame to him.
