Not only the Elders and the Grand Elders but almost all of the people here became shocked at the sight of that young man who turned out to be the Ancestor!

Ancestor Dian Alstreim hovered in the air above all of them, casting his gaze at Edgar Alstreim. His purple pupils were rather clear, and his expression was serene without any hostile intentions.

Edgar Alstreim became frozen stiff that his grasp over Weiss Alstreim almost tightened anew. If he kept this up, he might completely crush his bones, which would lead to Weiss Alstreim waking up in pain again.

'About time you showed up...' Davis almost rolled his eyes.

Since he was ready to face the final showdown due to Edgar Alstreim's conviction, he expected Ancestor Dian Alstreim to show up and included him in his plans to counter any kind of hostile attacks.

And at that moment, he used his High-Level Supreme Stage soul force to survey everyone near this place and the surrounding hundred kilometers as well as a few hundred kilometers above.

When his soul sense brushed past Ancestor Dian Alstreim's figure that hid in the air hundreds of kilometers above, Ancestor Dian Alstreim wasn't even able to notice that he had found him out. Davis had far surpassed him in terms of the soul!

Hence, Davis was rather waiting for Ancestor Dian Alstreim to reveal himself, and while others bowed ninety degrees in greeting, he and his family didn't do dog-shit, remaining disrespectful even with their status as the Dragon Queen's subordinates.

"A-Ancestor... This isn't-"

"Do you have anything to say, Valdrey?" Ancestor Dian Alstreim calmly uttered, not even glancing at him.

Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim's lips opened and closed in a confused manner, not grasping if he should continue to reject, but a moment later, he lowered his head and trembled.

They were finished!

The Ancestor is here, possibly intent on stopping them from hiding their wrongdoings anymore or resolve the trouble that has been festering ever since Weiss Alstreim tried to scheme his way to the Young Master's position!

He couldn't tell which one but knew that they were screwed!

"Edgar Alstreim, you don't need to bother with the rules anymore. Just hand over Weiss Alstreim to Alchemist Davis, and he might take care of the rest as he says that he could." Ancestor Dian Alstreim uttered.

His utter disregard for the rules set by the first Ancestor and the subsequent Ancestors didn't even garner a single voice of disagreement. After all, who would dare slight the only living Ancestor!?

Just a swing of his hand filled with a bit of his powerful ninth stage essence energy would be enough to instakill them like they were ants!

Edgar Alstreim became moved as he saw the Ancestor. The Ancestor once said that he would help him on top of giving an apology, so was this sincerity?

He nodded his head and dragged Weiss Alstreim through the air towards Alchemist Davis.

Grand Elder Elise Alstreim's expression was no longer hopeful. She had become dull and despondent. Not only did she fail to rescue Weiss Alstreim, but she also caused her father to be caught up in this mess.

It was said that regret would fill one's heart only after they lost everything dear to them, but Grand Elder Elise Alstreim was already starting to feel enveloped by it. She closed her eyes as she became submerged in deep regret for being willful in her actions.

At this moment, no one noticed that Elder Zeno Alstreim's expression vaguely flickered. His eyes moved around, thinking of doing something, but when he glanced at the Ancestor in the end, he seemed to do nothing.

'Oh? Ancestor Dian Alstreim wants to bring closure to Edgar and Claire's revenge this soon?' Davis glanced at Ancestor Dian Alstreim with narrowed eyes before he turned to look at Edgar Alstreim, who had already arrived before him.

He simply raised his hand and adjusted his soul force to Low-Level Mature Soul Stage before sending it out, enveloping Weiss Alstreim out of Edgar Alstreim's grasp.

Edgar Alstreim was about to bow to thank once again but stopped as he saw the masked woman raise her hand.

"No need to bow on ceremony..." Davis smiled as he uttered in Claire's stead.

With his mother aside, he knew that if he teased Edgar Alstreim, perhaps a kick to the butt would befall him at the worst. He couldn't help but inwardly laugh when he imagined that.

Edgar Alstreim looked at Alchemist Davis before he looked back at the masked woman as his eyes were slightly glazed.

His heart shook!

Back in the mansion, when he recognized Alchemist Davis had similarities with his daughter Claire, he was petrified. This thought made him wonder as to who Alchemist Davis truly could be! This was also why he subconsciously decided to trust Alchemist Davis with this matter of finding out the truth.

And now, when he saw this weird masked woman who was rather shy yet respectful to him, he was rather beginning to think that she could be... Claire!

Even her figure was almost the same and hadn't changed much!

But he didn't dare confirm it, only to be subjected to deep disappointment in the end. For all he knew, she could just be a strange woman who secretly admired him.

Besides, he didn't want to offend any of them right now and decided that he would confront them later instead about this matter.

Davis didn't form a technique openly as he knew that he would be unable to fool the eyes of the Elders and Grand Elders here, so he evoked a strong flash of light that instantly blinded everyone for a moment, making them blink, and some even used their hands to block sight. When they saw what had happened, they saw something similar to a seal being sent towards Weiss Alstreim's forehead.

In a few seconds, Weiss Alstreim opened his eyes and flew mid-air, still with the help of Davis's soul force. However, his pose was slightly slumped an

"Enslavement: complete!"

Davis clapped and deeply smiled as if he was satisfied with the result of his technique, but in reality, he had used Fallen Heaven to enslave Weiss Alstreim.

After all, he didn't truly have an enslavement technique that would eliminate or ignore a person's will.

"The enslavement technique I used directly erodes one's will, so Weiss Alstreim could be essentially considered a cripple from this moment forth, unable to make a decision for himself!" Davis warned before he stated, "You can start questioning Weiss Alstreim now..."

At the same time, he sent a soul transmission to Weiss Alstreim, telling him to answer Edgar Alstreim's words truthfully, honestly, and in detail whenever possible.

While Edgar Alstreim nodded his head, tears ran down from Grand Elder Elise Alstreim's eyes. She was still on her knees, and her sorrowful silhouette made people who looked at her pity her.

At this moment, she knew that she lost Weiss Alstreim completely.

Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim sighed as he noticed his daughter weep before he looked at the person who flew towards them from a distance and landed behind Grand Elder Elise Alstreim, embracing her in a warm, consoling hug.

It was none other than her son, Patriarch Eldric Alstreim.

With this, she had lost all her close family except Nora Alstreim, Eldric Alstreim, and him.

The future that he could see was rather bleak.
