Logan increasingly became paranoid as he imagined numerous situations.Will Claire hate him if she knew that he protected Nora Alstreim? But he couldn't let Nora Alstreim die either. After all, it was personally said to him by Claire that he should not kill Nora Alstreim and that Nora Alstreim was hers to take care of before the battle began. Claire had just instructed him to make her feel hurt and perhaps add a slap to enhance the taste, and it seems like she was satisfied with what he had outwardly done.Logan gulped, feeling surreal.What if Claire knew that he had actually embraced Nora Alstreim at the heat of the moment?Would she kill him on the spot?He didn't want to think about it anymore!'Father actually embraced and shielded Nora Alstreim from that dangerous attack! If Mother finds out, he's dead meat!' Davis laughed as he inwardly thought.With his Solitary Soul Avatar, he knew what happened with its soul sense. The Solitary Soul Avatar's soul sense was unimpeded by the defensive barrier, and the haze was not strong enough to disrupt the Supreme Soul Stage scrying. Furthermore, his soul sense remained undetected by the masses, and the only one who found that he was at least using his soul sense was Ancestor Dian Alstreim.However, Ancestor Dian Alstreim said nothing as he too was scrying the martial platform with his soul sense.Hence, only the two of them knew what had actually happened in the haze.Ancestor Dian Alstreim heaved a sigh of relief when the battle ended with neither party ended up being dead. However, his face was gloomy. He couldn't overly investigate, or his soul sense would even be detected by Logan. That was too shameful. Follow current on novelenglish.net
But, until the end of the battle where Logan saved Nora Alstreim, even he was unclear of Logan's actions, mostly because of the mask Logan wore, making him seem enigmatic to his senses. It was no wonder Nora Alstreim would panic and misunderstand Logan's attacks.*Bang!~*A low sound rang out as he smacked the throne with his clenched fists.Ancestor Dian Alstreim's purple pupils shook in turmoil.Even though it turned out well in the end, he had actually sat and watched it happen without interfering, considering the abnormality of their opposite party's motives. If Nora Alstreim had actually died, wouldn't it be like that he low-key wanted it to happen!? Just to recruit this monster into the Alstreim Family as the underlying reason!?He was angry, extremely angered at himself.'How could I?''I almost gave in to temptation. This isn't the Alstreim Family I envisioned! To sacrifice the blood of a young sapling on my watch is no different than pulling the roots myself!''I have wronged again!!!'First, he let other talents be schemed against while being in seclusion. Second, now that he had witnessed this monster's prowess and wanted to recruit him into the Alstreim Family by sacrificing the life of a talented Young Mistress...Wasn't he the same as those schemers who robbed the family of talents?He almost went back against his own words by not willing to act and protect during the time of uncertainty.Although his inability to act a while ago could be easily justified as to what is important, a monster of a frightening talent or just a talented individual, he didn't envision such a family in his mind. If he had thought so like this, he could've easily taken the helm and snuffed out the weeds, leaving only the talented individuals in the Alstreim Family at the top.

Ancestor Dian Alstreim took a deep breath as he calmed down. However, he couldn't understand. For what reason had Logan saved Nora Alstreim instead of killing her?Could it be that their grudge hadn't reached a life and death situation yet, or was it because of his presence?He couldn't understand.By his side, Davis felt the abnormality of Ancestor Dian Alstreim's gloominess, but he didn't know what the latter thought about or felt. He didn't dare to use his Heart Intent since he felt that Ancestor Dian Alstreim's soul was powerful enough to know that he was being probed."I told you that Nora Alstreim wasn't a match for Logan," Davis stated, causing Ancestor Dian Alstreim to react rather normally."Your words ended up being right. However, would the younger generation wholeheartedly accept that it was their loss without seeing the results?""I agree." Davis nodded his head.While they were conversing, they didn't know that another person was about to make a move.In the corner of the Grand Welcoming Hall, Edgar Alstreim watched it all happen. He remembered Logan and Alchemist Davis back when he came to the Ethren City with his wife, daughter, and Elder Havle Alstreim. He knew that they belonged in the Conferred Queen's group as Alchemist Davis did mention for him to meet at the Conferred Queen's estate after they left.However, he didn't know who the Conferred Queen was at that time. Now, he regretfully thought that he should've gone and met them when he got the opportunity in the past.Since it was the Conferred Queen's group that was immensely strong, he now understood why they were capable of changing the trajectory of his daughter's fate, making Tia Alstreim experience the Whisper of Fate Phenomenon.He felt that he had missed his chance.Now that even he had felt that it was too late, would they even bother to talk to him: an irrelevant and crippled character?

His body moved as he stood up in determination, but a soft hand clasped his wrist.Edgar Alstreim turned to look at his wife, Lia Alstreim, who possessed a pleading expression on her face.Edgar Alstreim slowly shook his head."Is it too cruel of me to ask that we live like this, peacefully?" Lia Alstreim moved her lips as she spoke, her eyes becoming moist, "I understand that you want to take revenge, but can it come after our daughter grows up after she becomes capable of protecting herself in the future?"Edgar Alstreim shook his head again, "This isn't for my daughter or my dead wife. This is for our daughter Tia."Lia Alstreim became taken aback, not understanding his words. She didn't know about Tia Alstreim's unique constitution, nor did she know about the Whispers of Fate Phenomenon.Edgar Alstreim gently shook off her grasp and turned to look at the elevated platform.To make himself known, he knew that he possessed no other choice!He must prove himself to be worthy!He was intent on challenging Weiss Alstreim in front of this crowd, the Elders and Grand Elders, for the position of Young Master even though the chances of him winning are less! Even though he understood he might not be entertained, he knew things would be different if he asked the Ancestor.He took a step forward, and just when his step reached the surface..."Halt!!!"*Boom!~*Edgar Alstreim fiercely swiveled his head to look in the direction of the main entrance! An explosion occurred outside the Grand Welcoming Hall, making all the people within the hall be surprised and rattled! Who on heaven would be daring enough to storm into the Grand Welcoming Hall where the Elders and Grand Elders would be gathered!? Furthermore, the Ancestor was personally present this time.The people in the hall had their mouths agape, but they were not afraid. Instead, they possessed piteous and jeering expressions on their faces, wondering what this senseless intruder's fate is going to be!
