Nonetheless, Davis continued to press.
"Do you want mother to turn against her only friend? Kill the only person whom she thinks of her as her sister?"
Logan trembled before he looked at Claire, "I donāt want Claire to suffer, but there should always be another way, right?"
Davis shook his head, "Iām not clever. Iām just sly and devious, so I donāt know if thereās a better way."
Logan descended into silence, seemingly contemplating on his sonās words.
After a few seconds, Davis spoke again.
"Father, I know that you are loyal towards Mother but werenāt you originally a frivolous womanizer? It is not easy to push away that trait, so grab on to the opportunity Mother has given you. Nora Alstreim is a beauty who should have countless suitors, and yet, she had once confessed to you of her own will, so itās mostly a done deal."
"Father probably wonāt regret it."
Logan stared at Davis before he couldnāt help but sigh.
"Davis, you know how to convince people. Were you scheming for a living in your previous life as a mortal orphan?" he wryly spoke, not really expecting an answer as he just said what he thought.
"Hehe..." Davis chuckled, "You could say that..."
"Anyways, Iāve said what I needed to say... Itās up to you two to work this out. Afterward, if Nora Alstreim sneakily does something harmful to us, Iām definitely beating you two up. After all, I still havenāt gotten my revenge yet."
Davis slyly laughed.
Logan and Claire chuckled together before they looked at each other, recalling the time when they ambushed the small yet impertinent Davis who embarrassed them in front of their cute little Clara.
So many years passed, making them feel abruptly nostalgic.
However, they echoed at the same time, "You can leave it to us then..."
"Itās good that you are two in sync, and I hope it remains the same way..." Davis advised.
After all, what theyāre bringing into this play were emotions.
Claire nodded with a smile, "Donāt worry, we already know what to do..."
āWell, looks like father already knows the specifics...ā
Davis nodded, "Alright."
Claire suddenly looked at Logan, "Husband, you will become the Young Master of the Alstreim Family. Father has already agreed, ready to give up his position to either one of you."
"Me!?" Logan became dumbfounded, "Isnāt it better if our son becomes the Young Master?"
Claire possessed a wry expression, "You know how he is... He doesnāt even want to become your empireās Emperor."
Logan reciprocated with an identical wry smile, "Youāre right..."
Davis merely shook his head. He preferred his freedom.
Logan still possessed some doubts, "Will the others accept? I mean, I donāt even have the blood of the Alstreim Family within me, not to mention that I cannot be known as your husband to the public."
"Hehe..." Claire laughed, "Thatās where Nora comes in... As long as you obtain her, even Ancestor Dian Alstreim would nod to it as he had said so to me in the past."
"As for the Grand Elders and Elders who are in the know, every one of them could possibly be after your legacy, even hatching a plan to introduce you to their lineās woman. After all, you were none other than the other half responsible for Davisās birth."
Logan felt a chill on his back as he heard Claireās teasing voice. He didnāt want to become a stud! He already had enough women and children!
"Logan, I want your blood to lead the Alstreim Familyās blood in the future."
Logan and Davisās eyes went wide in shock at Claireās outrageous statement.
Claire looked towards the ceiling as if possessing a far sight, "Since our son declined, it would be perhaps your and Noraās children leading the Alstreim Family in the future."
Logan opened and closed his mouth, wanting to say something but nothing came out of it. He could only dumbfoundedly look at Claire, feeling complex as well as inspired. This would mean he would be staining a High-Level Emperor Gradeās power in his blood, and somehow, it ended up exciting him, not making him feel aversed to Claireās idea at all!
"Davis still didnāt change his name in his heart, and neither have I ever since I married you. That would mean Davis still has the Loret Family in his mind as his place."
"Isnāt that good, husband?" Claire smiled, "This way, you can still answer to your ancestors in death that you havenāt let down the Loret Family."
"Thatās also why... you cannot fail to completely obtain Noraās heart, husband."
While Logan was utterly flabbergasted, Davis possessed a shocked expression on his face.
While he had just said to finish Nora Alstreimās matter, Claire had planned Nora Alstreimās entire future like a good sister. Not to mention that she gave her husband to rake in different yet powerful status and achievements!
Was this a sacrifice or gain to his mother? He couldnāt tell at all!
A few seconds of silence filled the hall room before Davis opened his mouth.
"Thatās right. I almost forgot what I came here for... Iām temporarily leaving alone to train... Oh... not alone, but with Nadia."
Logan and Claire became taken aback before they smiled.
Logan couldnāt help but place his hand on Davisās shoulders, "Thatās right, Davis. I know you donāt want to lose to Princess Isabella, so cultivate hard. Your father and mother support you."
Davisās brows twitched as he looked at his motherās smile widen. Although they misunderstood his reason to train this soon, he still didnāt want to lose to Princess Isabella, so he didnāt correct them.
"Iāll be using my avatar for another matter, so it wouldnāt be staying here," he added.
Surprisingly, they didnāt say anything and nodded their heads again.
Davis became taken aback, "Is that okay? My avatar wouldnāt be able to protect you all as it wouldnāt be here, so I could only leave a weak soul body here to look after matters, so-"
"I know, Davis." Claire suddenly interrupted and genuinely spoke, "You are your own person. I have burdened you, riding on your coattails for far too long before finally obtaining revenge. Mother still has the dream of reaching the Ninth Stage but wonāt burden you anymore."
"Itās time you looked more after yourself..."
"Mother..." Davis felt moved, "I donāt think thatās a bur-"
"Because the burden would fall on your father as it should be~" Claire smiled as she reached out her hand and held Loganās shoulders.
Logan chuckled, "Davis, you donāt need to worry about us. Even though we would be slow, we will still reach your cultivation base one day..."
"Well, thatās..." Davis grinned, "Interesting..."
"Hoho~" Logan had his mouth agape, "Youāre completely looking down on us, arenāt you, brat!?"
"Yes, I do..." Davis frankly answered, "Thatās why... just shut up and obediently take whatever I give you two in the future..."
Logan had his mouth go agape before he laughed, "Hahaha! You are completely arrogant, just like your mother when I met her for the first time as an enemy!"
Claire blushed red as she recalled some matters of the past.
"Nevertheless!" Logan smirked, "Iāll also cultivate hard as to provide you in the future, my son."
āThatās virtually impossible, but a good motivation to cultivate harder nonetheless...ā Davis just smiled.
"Are you leaving... now?" Claire still smiled, but worry could be seen in her eyes.
"Uh... not now. Before I go, itās time I visited the Verdant Alstreim Treasure House."
"Thatās right! Father said that the Spirit Attribute Sources Hall is open to us alone. You should go take a look!" Claire seemed a bit excited.
Davis knew that Claire had gone to take a look and ended up returning with a Fire Essence. Logan seemed to have gone together as well, and he seemed to have taken a Light Elemental. As for a Lightning Elemental, it seemed he had no need for it since the Purple Yang Star Lightning was more powerful than the ones present.
However, Loganās Light Elementās Will probably havenāt been exterminated. However, considering that his father didnāt ask him to eradicate it, he felt that it must be at Mid-Level Sky Grade at best. His fatherās soul cultivation was at Low-Level Elder Soul Stage, so he should be able to scrape the Will better than the others before finally exterminating it in a few weeks or months.
āItās a form of training as well...ā Davis didnāt offer his help.
"Mother and father got anything else to say? After I leave, unless thereās an emergency, I wonāt return for months, or perhaps a few years..." Davis warned.
"Really, thereās nothing..." Claireās expression became soft, "I only hope that you protect yourself."
"And donāt fall in love with a new woman while youāre at it..." Logan added.
Davis narrowed his eyes, "Says the one who is going to have his eighth woman..."
Logan smiled lewdly. It wasnāt his eighth as he had slept with many women in the past. A fist suddenly appeared in front of his chest, sending him flying along with the chair.
"Claire! What are you doing?" Logan stood up, spit flying from his mouth.
Claire flicked her blonde hair, snorting, "Hmph! Donāt think I donāt know what you were thinking, you scoundrel."
Loganās expression trembled before he stared at Davis, his fists clenched, "Itās all because of you, receive my fist!
Davis chuckled as he stood up, cracking his knuckles, "Letās see how father bears against a Martial Master Stage Cultivator."
"Hey... wait...!" Logan pointed his finger at them, "You two are bullying me!"
"Haha! Too late! Challenge accepted!"
*Whoosh!~*
Davis just flashed when he suddenly stopped, his expression appearing shocked as he looked at his father!
"..."
"..."
"..."
Dozens of seconds later, Davis finished bidding farewell and left, leaving a person who laid down on the ground, seemingly acting dead for the whole time until Davis left under Claireās embarrassed expression.
