Divine Emperor of Death

Daniuis and Edgar Alstreim stared at each other with a complex gaze before the latter spoke.

"Big brother, I..."

"You don't need to say anything." Daniuis cut him short, "It was I who wronged you."

"No!"

Edgar Alstreim instantly shook his head in denial, "It was I who didn't understand my foolishness at that time. Even if I wanted to marry Juliana and give her status, wanting to do justice to her, I should've waited till I grew into a Seventh Stage Expert, but I was hasty and arrogant. It was all my fault."

Edgar Alstreim clenched his fists as a hint of sorrow flashed past his eyes.

However, he quickly regained himself as if it were a thing of the past.

Tia Alstreim watched her husband speak about another woman in front of her, but she seemed to not react offensively to his words. She also seemed to be aware of his worries about his past.

Daniuis pursed his lips before it started to imperceptibly quiver.

His little brother was not angry at him anymore for coming to help him at that time?

Was he forgiven?

He was quite nervous to ask.

However, they moved to another topic as they continued to talk and reminiscence about a few things while Edgar Alstreim also introduced and told about his daughter, who didn't come to this event, Tia Alstreim.

That little girl was right now home alone, hogging the mansion all to herself. However, there were also servants and bodyguards to take care of her protection from Elder Havle Alstreim's command, so her parents weren't particularly worried.

At this time, in another corner of the Grand Welcoming Hall, Nora Alstreim and Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim came out of the small abode. The apothecaries came out, and they bowed to each other before they all left for their seats.

A few people quickly came to their side and filled them in about what had happened.

Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim strangely reacted as he cast a look at Daniuis. He nodded his head at the people who relayed him the information before he looked at Nora Alstreim, "Are you sure that you want to stay?"

"Yes, grandpa. Leaving this place is more of a humiliation than staying and leaving after this event ends. Although I would be mocked and snickered at for my defeat by numerous gazes, I would rather endure the humiliation than run away like a coward."

Nora Alstreim weakly smiled, "Although I would be shamed, I will also know who is truly on my side this way."

Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim nodded his head in appreciation. Sometimes, receiving humiliation and being able to endure it itself is a tempering session.

Although the reason she stated was different, as long as she gets the same result, he felt that her determination to grow wouldn't go to waste.

Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim no longer bothered and flew back to his seat. Nora Alstreim also followed suit as she flew back to her place where her group was, and while she was on her way, her gaze subconsciously traveled to the Conferred Queen's location and caught sight of the man she battled against.

He had hidden his face with that mask again, but his handsome and attractive face appeared in her imagination, causing her to wonder as she looked at Alchemist Davis.

'Could it be that they are brothers?'

From what she had seen at that moment, they looked similar. Their eyes and facial features resembled quite a bit. She was intently looking at Logan when suddenly the latter turned his head and caught sight of her gaze.

Nora Alstreim abruptly removed her gaze and looked away. She arrived at her place and sat down without a saying word to her group.

Strangely, she felt her cheeks heat up. Perhaps it was because she felt weak as lethargic because of the loss of blood essence, or because she felt humiliated because of the defeat. However, she didn't know why her heart was pounding in a strange rhythm.

Nora Alstreim was deeply involved in her own thoughts that she even failed to recognize the snickers, and the mocking looks that were cast at her.

Time seemed to pass in this manner before a pathetic shout woke her up from her reverie.

"Leave me!~ I didn't do anything!"

A man seemed to flail around and struggle before the entrance. He seemed fat, but he possessed no strength and was held by two guards. In front of them seemed to be two people. It was a woman and Grand Elder Krax Alstreim.

They all flew towards the elevating platform for a while before they finally reached before all the Grand Elders and the Ancestors right in the center.

The fat man seemed to sense what kind of place he arrived at as he instantly cowered and no longer struggled. His face looked deathly pale while his legs became limp. He was supported by the two guards, so he did not fall and make a fool out of himself, but he still seemed pathetic in the eyes of everyone.

On the other hand, although the woman seemed to keep her expression indifferent, her body seemed to be vaguely shuddering in intense nervousness.

They were none other than the lascivious man who tried to violate Su Hualing, Su Huabing, and Su Huajing at the same time by sedating them, Luth Alstreim, and his protective yet egotistic mother, Yuldra Alstreim.

"I assume these two are Luth Alstreim and Yuldra Alstreim." Ancestor Dian Alstreim narrowed his brows.

"Yes! Revered Ancestor!" Grand Elder Krax Alstreim nodded his head.

"Ancestor!!???" Luth Alstreim's and Yuldra Alstreim's scalp went numb as they heard Grand Elder Krax Alstreim address one of the two people on the thrones as the Ancestor.

Yuldra Alstreim's expression went pale while Luth Alstreim seemed to go weak before he started to gasp for breath, his fat body trembling like tidal waves.

Daniuis arrived beside them, and almost as if it was expected, Yuldra Alstreim saw Daniuis as her eyes widened while hatred became apparent, "It's you!"

"That's right!" Daniuis sneered with glimmering light of hatred over his eyes.

"Yuldra Alstreim! Our dispute should've been settled long ago! You even used the Disciplinary Hall to your advantage and exiled me! So why!? Why are you still targeting me!?"

Yuldra Alstreim's emitted flames, "You crippled my only son. How can-"

However, she quickly shut her mouth as her eyes trembled and changed her tune.

"How can I target you!? When did I do that!? I don't even know where you went in the first place!" She shrieked innocently.

However, the people present all noticed the slip of her tongue. They all mused that it wasn't like she claimed.

"Yuldra Alstreim, I don't like to waste time." Ancestor Dian Alstreim suddenly spoke, causing Yuldra Alstreim to shudder.

"If you confess now, your punishment will be simple. If you insist on wasting my time, then the punishment would get worse unless you can prove yourself innocent."

Yuldra Alstreim's lips trembled as she heard the tone that seemed as if her the evidence of her wrongs were already found out. She didn't what to do as fear began to overtake her. She looked behind and saw her grandfather, one of the Elders who was seated along with the other Elders.

That Elder's eyes were widened, and he imperceptibly shook his head before he moved his gaze away, and sipped the wine as if this matter had nothing to do with him.
