Divine Emperor of Death

Claire gritted her teeth in hatred as she spat out those words.

But her expression became calm as she took a breath, "But I'll make sure that I'll thank her for making me useless in the secret entrance. In one way, if not for her schemes, I would've never met Logan, or gave birth to my prodigious son."

By the side, Davis felt his mother has grown brave enough to demand from the Ancestor, and negotiate without breaking a sweat, not that she can break a sweat in her soul body, but he still inwardly nodded his head in satisfaction. From being extremely nervous to becoming bold in front of the Ancestor, he felt that he had seen his mother's growth through his own eyes.

Ancestor Dian Alstreim had his lips slightly agape at being interrupted. He pursed his lips and wasn't in the mood to admonish her for interrupting him because he could understand her outburst.

"Let me finish what I was saying..." He reiterated, "You all cannot kill Nora Alstreim. However, I never said that you could not punish her in a way that satisfies you."

"???" Claire became confused, and as she looked at Ancestor Dian Alstreim gaze at her son, her eyes widened in surprise.

"Ancestor wants my son to marry that woman!?" Claire exclaimed in disbelief and anger.

Davis became stunned.

What!?

What is happening here? Why did the topic move from punishing her to him marrying her!? He felt a bit ridiculous and absurd.

"You can say that, and I can approve even if your son uses forceful means to obtain Nora Alstreim."

"What made you change your decision to protect her? Your words make me frown upon your character and suspect your intent." Claire narrowed her brows in confusion.

She didn't think that the Ancestor would allow this kind of revenge to happen. She felt is it was more like a test? Or perhaps, a bait? A bait to restrict them with a trap...

"Your worry is unfounded." Ancestor Dian Alstreim said otherwise and explained, "It is because I personally asked Nora Alstreim to accept the wrongs that she had done to you, but she refused to accept and feigned ignorance. Such a character who will not take responsibility for their own actions is unfit to be seated on an influential position like the status of the Young Mistress."

Claire smiled, "So Ancestor has also realized that she is a two-faced woman who acts righteous on the surface but schemes like an underhanded woman behind the scenes."

Ancestor Dian Alstreim nodded his head, "The least she can do is bear your son's child as a form of punishment, and redeem herself for what she has done to you if she wants to live. I know that there's a possibility that she might choose death, but I am positive that we can make her admit her wrongs and have her live her life through this method."

"Besides, as the Young Mistress of the Alstreim Family, she is responsible for giving birth to an ultimate talent like all her predecessors. They failed, but if it's your son who makes her bear a child, then I am assured that their child will be a talent who will become a future powerhouse without a doubt!"

Claire blinked while Davis's expression deflated.

So this bastard was after his seed!?

Accurately, it was not Ancestor Dian Alstreim who wanted his seed, but that didn't matter. Besides, was he a stud!? His thoughts became one of anger, and he refused to participate in the act of revenge, such as this, which clearly came off as nonsense to him!

Why would he impregnate Nora Alstreim and watch her suffer? He knew he was incapable of doing that to her because it was one thing if it was his revenge as it was even unknown to him what kind of torture he would force the perpetrator to undergo, but it was not even his revenge.

Nora Alstreim was just a target that he would kill for the sake of his mother, not torture through various means such as forcefully impregnating her. Besides, even if he forcefully impregnated her, it was just unthinkable for him to torture the mother of his own child. He would just rather decline this kind of nonsensical proposition.

'Besides...' Davis looked at his mother in a complicated manner, just before she opened her mouth to retort as if she understood something.

"Then isn't that a punishment but a blessing from the heavens? Which woman would not like to give birth to a prodigy? Although, at first glance, it seems that I am punishing her, she seeks to gain more than I gain. Ancestor is patronizing me if you think that I will agree to such a condition."

"However, I know about my son more than anyone! Even if I agree, he will not accept this because he doesn't take women whom he doesn't love!"

"Furthermore, even if Nora Alstreim is extremely beautiful like me, she still is a two-faced woman! There is no way in the Fifty-Two Territories would my son love her in the first place!" Claire stuck her bosom out as she waved her hand and declared, gasping for breath.

She took a few deep breaths to control herself.

Davis nodded his head in agreement with his mother's words.

"However, I will not lie." Claire suddenly closed her eyes, "Making my son ruin her life this way was something I would've liked and agreed to if my son was a scum. However, he isn't trash and looks after his women more than anything in this world. I can't make him do this because I know that I will ruin his life!"

"He is pure-hearted, and instead of making Nora Alstreim suffer, he will start to make love with her!"

"Hence, I cannot accept the Ancestor's proposition!"

"Mother?" Davis possessed an incredulous expression on his face.

Claire turned to look at him with an indifferent expression, "Am I wrong?"

Davis wryly smiled, "Mother knows me the best..."

Although he had something to retort about that pure-hearted part, he did indeed agree with his mother's opinion about him. Even he felt that he was not capable of such hateful actions. Hence, if he really did impregnate Nora Alstreim, the only possible result is that he would start to make love with her because he personally didn't feel much hatred for her, and only thought of getting revenge for his mother.

"Pure-hearted... Mhm..." Ancestor Dian Alstreim looked at Davis in a suspicious light.

He found such a person who had all the qualities he admired but trained in Darkness Laws to be a bit conflicting to the word, pure-hearted. He didn't know that to comment on that, so he mused before he spoke.

"What about your husband then? Is Logan pure-hearted? Considering that he might've captured you in the Forsaken Phoenix Realm's secret entrance and..."

"You know what I'm talking about..." Ancestor Dian Alstreim didn't speak further.

Claire became stunned at this suggestion.

Her husband and Nora Alstreim? She frowned and didn't even want to think about it. Davis blinked as he recalled those scenes which he saw through the projection.

But Claire then smiled in a secretive manner, "Fortunately, meeting Logan was the best thing that could've happened to the abandoned me. For him, I will do anything, but this isn't one of it."

"I see..." Ancestor Dian Alstreim clasped his hand behind his back and nodded his head.

"In any case, those two propositions were just suggestions from my part. Regardless of the punishment you have decided for Nora Alstreim, she must stay alive and healthy in terms of physical health. That is the second condition that I have placed before you two."

"Otherwise..." His eyes flashed with a warning.
