The surrounding space suddenly transformed into a misty haze. It made Claire and Nora Alstreim squint their eyes, wondering what he was doing right now.

While Claire thought Davis was going to kill Nora Alstreim using a technique that she would not be able to block, Nora Alstreim thought that the same as she imagined that she was going to be killed. However, contrary to their expectations, they saw two figures appear beside them, looking at each other.

It was a woman and a man.

"Immeth!?" Nora Alstreim became astonished to see her subordinate, but once she realized that it was nothing but a projection that stemmed from the Alchemist Davis's Mature Soul Stage soul force, she frowned.

"What is the meaning of this?"

Davis didn't respond as he just used his soul to project the events that happened when Immeth Alstreim and Elder Zeno Alstreim met together on the top floor of that inn.

Soon, the projection of Immeth Alstreim began to talk as Davis's soul force emulated her voice. It was the same for Elder Zeno Alstreim as it looked like they both spoke to each other. Among the misty haze that transformed into the room those two were in, it looked as if Davis, Claire, and Nora Alstreim were present there at the time.

Claire and Nora Alstreim both knew that this was Soul Forging Cultivator's way of displaying an event that happened.

A Soul Projection! A common form of soul technique that all who knew how to control soul force to an average degree could use.

Claire had used this method in the past to make her family aware of the facial features her enemies possessed, so she wasn't surprised, but she was confused as to why Davis would bring a soul projection up here at this time.

As time passed, Nora Alstreim started to tremble. She kept watching the projection while her eyes were wide as if she wasn't able to believe what she was witnessing through his soul force.

However, the time when Immeth Alstreim lied to her that she was resting in her mansion... The way Immeth Alstreim mocked her, planned to scheme against her to ultimately become Alchemist Davis's woman, and the way they both mocked Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim made her completely incensed.

However, considering Alchemist Davis's terrifying control and intensity over soul force, she felt such a scene could not only be easily replicated but also faked!

Right now, she was bordering on the edge of disbelief and reluctance to believe what she was witnessing!

The scene she witnessed was all realistic that she was unable to find any kind of made-up dialogues.

"Are you saying that I should believe this?" Nora Alstreim uttered in a half-believing tone as her lips trembled.

"There's not only this... I'll show you something else..." Davis smiled as the surroundings changed again.

It was a room again, but it was different. This time, instead of Elder Zeno Alstreim, it was Weiss Alstreim.

Nora Alstreim became stunned.

Initially, she was shocked and angered that Weiss Alstreim almost violated Immeth Alstreim, but when she saw them discuss their past with Weiss Alstreim threatening Immeth Alstreim over the matter of Gwyneth Alstreim in the past, her eyes went wide in rage as she no longer hesitated to believe!

Alchemist Davis shouldn't be privy to the matters of Gwyneth Alstreim! And therefore, he couldn't have faked this projection!!!

"IMMETH... ALSTREIM!!!"

Nora Alstreim gritted her teeth as she screamed in pure hatred. Her red eyes turned moist as tears started to fall over her battered face. At this moment, she truly looked miserable as her heart ached like anything. It felt as if someone was ripping apart her heart.

Immeth Alstreim's betrayal now, as well as in the past, which she was unaware was nothing short of stabbing her in the heart many times over and over again! It felt extremely painful than the beatings and the thrashing she received just now.

She wanted to trust, believe that Immeth Alstreim wasn't the one who was behind this when Claire kept on saying that Immeth Alstreim gave her a parting gift while citing her, but now, with two scenes denoting otherwise, she found it making sense of all that happened against her in the past!

Besides, all this time, Elder Zeno Alstreim, who was loyal to Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim for thousands of years, ended up betraying as well.

How could something like this happen!? She felt that it couldn't get any more ridiculous!

Meanwhile, Claire looked stiff as a rock while her purple eyes trembled. She didn't say anything the whole time but remained watching the two projections like a statue.

"You didn't let me kill her because you knew that something was wrong... That Nora Alstreim's words were not false... Am I wrong?" Davis pursed his lips in exasperation.

Claire slowly shook her head as she saw the projection disappear before it looked they teleported back to their room.

If she had suspicions before, then it was basically confirmed that Nora Alstreim was innocent.

Davis nodded his head.

Right when he first broke through to the Nascent Soul Stage, he had revealed that he remembered his past life to his mother. After some time, his father had used his soul force to invade his soul sea to check abnormalities and the truth behind his words.

It was a valid method to determine the truth as it was a general belief, perhaps also an established belief in some places that a soul wouldn't lie. A person could control the heartbeat when they lie to a certain degree to act as if they weren't lying, but the same could be said about the soul sea, where there will be immense fluctuations if a person lied.

Controlling it is as difficult as quelling a natural disaster!

Claire had precisely invaded Nora Alstreim's soul sea, so it was easier for her to pick up fluctuations if Nora Alstreim was truly lying, but not finding any kind of fluctuations in her soul sea made Claire pretty shaken that she finally started having doubts that Nora Alstreim could be telling the truth; that she was innocent.

However, she was confused, hesitant, and reluctant to believe when in her point of view over the past as all things pointed towards Nora Alstreim undoubtedly being the one who schemed against her. However, it was now revealed that it was all Immeth Alstreim's scheme that ruined her life as an Alstreim!

Claire suddenly didn't know what to do with Nora Alstreim.

No wonder her son tried to kill Nora Alstreim! It was already too late to reconcile as she had beaten and broke her face!

"Claire! Release me! I have to kill that bitch myself!" Nora Alstreim spat out a curse word as she raged. She stood up, wanting to leave, but the chains tied to her wrists and legs wouldn't let her as it repeatedly clanked with those sharp and non-resonant sounds.

Immeth Alstreim seemed to have done many things behind her back. If she doesn't get revenge, she knew that she wouldn't be able to cultivate a clear mind. She felt that a heart demon would possess her at this rate!

"Why should we release you? Enmity had already been formed. I'd rather kill you right now then let future trouble exist..." Davis coldly spoke as he raised his hand.

*BzzZ!~*

Black lightning crackled again under his palms as it screeched in a high-pitched tone, making Nora Alstreim flinch and realize that she was still a prisoner.
