Chapter 757: Internal Struggles (2/2)

This all started when his daughter fell in love with the previous and crippled Young Master, Edgar Alstreim.

At that time, everyone knew that he was a doting father, so he used that to his advantage and married her to Edgar Alstreim despite facing pressure and ridicule on all sides.

Nevertheless, he didn't care for their taunts and only cared for his crippled daughter and came to possess a weak body because of her crippled state. If he could grant her what she wanted, he felt all that ridicule and scorn were worth it.

As for Edgar Alstreim, his son-in-law, he was clear and convinced what resulted in his son-in-law's fall.

He would be a fool to think that Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim had no hand in orchestrating the fall of the previous Young Master. Instead, he was convinced that it was because of Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim's suppression that no other Grand Elder stepped in to save Edgar Alstreim at that point in time.

Although he had no evidence, it didn't need a smart person to figure this out. Besides, his Ancestor's disappointment to Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim's actions basically confirmed his baseless thoughts, making him all the more convinced!

'I have to warn Lia and son-in-law of the change in the status quo...'

Elder Havle Alstreim was convinced that he would be schemed against in the future.

As for when? He didn't know.

Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim calmly walked to his room before he sat on his beloved, comfortable, and expensive chair that was also designed like a throne.

A beautiful woman walked towards him with a tray held on her hands, filled with delicacies and refreshments. She kept it on the luxurious table in front of Grand Elder Valdrey and completely bowed before withdrawing like a servant.

Grand Elder raised his hand, making her stop, and then he gestured her with his hand.

The servant woman nodded her head and walked towards Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim before standing behind him. Her small and soft hands reached for his shoulders before she started massaging him.

Grand Elder Valdrey closed his eyes as he enjoyed the massage. He had to retract and suppress his Body Tempering Cultivation as much as possible to enjoy the feeling of being massaged.

After all, he had a Martial Master Stage Body Tempering Cultivation. How would the weak servant woman be able to massage him when his shoulders remained rock-hard like a stone?

He enjoyed her massage for some time, feeling her soft and dainty fingers on his shoulders while thinking about some matters while also waiting for a few people.

In a few minutes, he felt some people stand behind the door to his large and spacious room.

With a gesture, he made the servant woman withdraw and spoke, ”Enter.”

The door opened, and four people entered the room in grand strides, their heads tall and their gazes straight. They all stood in front of the Grand Elder and smiled expressively.

”Grandpa!” A young woman yelled in delight as she cheerfully smiled.

Her expression shone with happiness while her face looked extremely beautiful enough to make her fit into the category of a kingdom-toppling beauty! Especially her silky blonde hair resting on her shoulders and her purple eyes, made her look incredibly entrancing and alluring.

Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim's expression broke into a genuine smile as he focused on this young woman.

”Haha, Nora... You don't have time to see your Grandpa anymore after becoming the Young Mistress?”

”Grandpa!~” Nora Alstreim coyly echoed, ”I was training in one of the fire attributed Peak-Level Sky Grade Training Formations.”

”Good! Good! You have not disappointed your Grandpa!” Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim nodded his head as he felt heartened.

His gaze retracted and then roamed, looking at the other three who stood along with Nora Alstreim.
