Chapter 958 Say What!?
While Claire could've imagined such a bloody scene of sweet revenge, unfortunately for her, Weiss Alstreim was at Law Dominion Stage, and although his talent was less, his ability to dominate his peers in the Alstreim Family couldn't be denied as he used high-tier pills to increase his battle prowess.
Claire did not have the ability to fight him even if she possessed the ability to kill normal Law Dominion Stage Cultivators.
Claire descended into silence for a few seconds before she opened her mouth, "Davis, can I ask if do you have a method to weaken him?"
Davis smiled, "Just say the word, and I'll have him at your feet. However, he wouldn't be him anymore after being attacked by one of my special techniques. He will become mindless, unable to think for himself."
"No, no!" Claire shook her head, "That is letting him out easy. He must suffer a lot, suffer far greater than I or my father before he dies. I must make him regret the 'kind' deeds he had done to us! I must make him regret ever scheming against us!"
Davis pursed his lips in thought before he said, "Destroying him should be easy, but to cause him to weaken is quite difficult in a sense. First, I'll have him drop out of the Young Master's status-"
"How? You said that you are not interested in challenging Weiss Alstreim for the Young Master's status. Who is going to fight him in your stead?"
"Your granduncle Daniuis has already wasted his potential and must do his best to catch up with the others who are far stronger than him at the Law Sea Stage. Your father also cannot fight for the Young Master's status because he does not possess the Alstreim Family's blood. The fact that he is my husband is also could not be revealed due to the secrecy we must maintain. That leaves no one in our group who is capable of challenging Weiss Alstreim."
Davis laughed, "Mother, you forgot about your father."
Claire became stunned before her face scrunched up in anger as she became hurt, "Davis, you cannot make fun of your grandfather like this..."
She didn't think that her son would make fun of her father's disability. She became inwardly hurt as her eyes became moist. If it were some other person who made fun of her father, she wouldn't be able to suppress herself from breaking the bones of that person. After all, she felt she was the one to blame for her father becoming a cripple.
Her father had crippled himself to protect her when she was nothing more than a baby. That debt of gratitude was something she would never be able to repay in this life, at least, that is what she felt.
Davis wryly smiled, "You misunderstood me, mother."
"What do you mean?"
Claire's expression became relieved as she hoped that it was a misunderstanding. However, her father was crippled, and he did not possess the ability to fight against Weiss Alstreim? What kind of meaning was in Davis's words if it were not for this?
"Mother, I hope you can keep this a secret because I can heal your father's crippled dantian with a special technique."
Claire stared at her Davis for a while as she tried to understand his words. When the moment of realization arrived, she jumped at Davis as her eyes widened in complete shock!
"Say what!?"

The next day, Princess Isabella stepped out of the Purple Guest Palace and went out to tour the Grand Alstreim City for the fourth time. It was also two weeks since she last went out with her 'subordinate' Logan. However, this time it was her favorite 'subordinate' who was accompanying her.
Who can it be other than Davis?
Davis cast a glance at Princess Isabella, who flew to his right, and saw that she possessed an unusual smirk on her face.
Today, Princess Isabella wore a green robe that possessed a heart-shaped cut over her bosoms, revealing her fair white cleavage. However, the green robe also possessed frills over her neck, falling on her swelling bosoms, which made her cleavage barely visible.
However, that wasn't what garnered his attention. He stared at her for a while before opening his mouth.
"Isabella, congratulations on breaking through to the Mid-Level Body Transformation Stage!"
"You noticed... Hehe..." Princess Isabella giggled in satisfaction before her face scrunched up in lament, "It is really difficult for me to increase my Essence Gathering Cultivation as it requires more energy than the norm. At this rate, I'm going to burn through a lot of spirit stones to reach your current Essence Gathering Cultivation."
Davis chuckled, "Of course, your meridian points, pathways, and the entire cells in your body can store more energy than it normally would for a cultivator who is at the Body Transformation Stage, the Fourth Stage in Essence Gathering Cultivation."
"Your Martial Sage Stage cultivation forms a staggering disadvantage for you in terms of increasing your Essence Gathering Cultivation, but it also makes your essence energy capacity greater than anyone I know, even me. You could probably battle a few hundred, no, a thousand Body Transformation Stage Cultivators and still possess some essence energy to spare after killing them."
Princess Isabella giggled at his comparison. She liked that he held her in high regard, even while comparing her to a killing brute.
"So, why have you decided to go out today?"
"Mhm... It's so boring at the Purple Guest Palace. I have always preferred to stay in seclusion and cultivate, but now that I entered the Martial Sage Stage, I feel that the progress I'm making has slowed down a lot. It is understandable, but I feel since I always spend most of my time to cultivate, why not spend my time looking at the city, learning more things in the process?"
"After all, when you spoke with Ancestor Dian Alstreim in the Grand Welcoming Hall, you seemed to know more than I know."
Davis smirked with a teasing smile, "That's the result of the studious me. You know, in my previous life, there was a saying that 'Knowledge is power, and ignorance is bliss', so I'd like to know and suffer rather than remain clueless to what is happening around me."
Princess Isabella narrowed her brows as she muttered, "Your previous life... Mhmm..."
There was a momentary silence before Davis asked.
"Where are we going then?"
"I'm thinking about it... I already went to the Monumental Light Theater, Prime Battle Arena, Moon Art Pavilion, and other influences in the city's western part. I even accidentally entered a fiery danger zone on the first day of the outing."

"Haha, with your status, you managed to come out of that without being blamed." Davis laughed while Princess Isabella harrumphed, "It was wrong of them to not have any boards to indicate that it was an artificial training zone in the first place."
"How about the No Same Sky Martial Platform?" She asked before her face scrunched up in distaste, "I saw that it was the most packed the other day, although I don't remember what it is about since that Weiss Alstreim followed me like a toad lusting after a swan."
"Don't worry, the hammer of death is already upon him. It is only a matter of time, and as for the No Same Sky Martial Platform..."
Davis's eyes flashed as he recalled what he and Ancestor Dian Alstreim conversed about.
