Chapter 1021: Mutual Trust Betrayed? (1/2)

Nora Alstreim remained shocked at the sight in front of her. Those black robes that were splattered with a few drops of her blood appeared in her view, making her astonished as well as confused.

Why did Claire protect her from harm just now?

Claire held back Davis as she held his wrist and moved it away as if she was not at all afraid of getting grazed by the terrifying black lightning, ”What are you doing?”

She couldn't help but ask, thinking that Davis was just trying to intimidate her but looking at his serious and cold expression, even she felt that something was strange with him.

”Murdering her in cold blood...”

”What!? You can't!” Claire's lips trembled, ”'He' wouldn't allow it!”

”Ancestor Dian Alstreim said that we can't kill her but so what?” Davis retorted.

”!!!” Nora Alstreim reacted. Her eyes were wide, and her slightly torn lips were agape in disbelief.

The Ancestor... had abandoned her?

Wait! The Ancestor knew that Claire was alive but didn't do anything to interrogate her!? A person who had been said to have died at the Forsaken Phoenix Realm ends up appearing with both flesh and soul intact but wasn't investigated?

She found it hard to believe, and she quickly became lost, wondering what and all is currently happening in her Alstreim Family without her knowledge.

Claire frowned. She had mentioned Ancestor Dian Alstreim using 'he', but Davis revealed who it was instead.

'No matter...' She didn't become worried since Nora Alstreim was already in their grasp.

”Do you feel hopeless? Despairing? Anguished? Perhaps, deep pain in your soul?” Claire once again said as she repeated.

Nora Alstreim suddenly felt like she heard something funny that she giggled.

”I never counted on that old fart in the first place...”

Her laughter was because she realized that she was the sacrifice to make Claire spill out the truth.

Claire gets her crazy revenge, Ancestor Dian Alstreim gets his way to the Forsaken Phoenix Realm, and she ends up dead as the sacrifice!

”How laughable... Hehe...” Nora Alstreim laughed like she became crazy as if she hated this life.

She felt like a fool to have thought that Claire helped her for a moment! She suddenly raised her head and spat out with a cold expression.

”Why don't you stay dead!? You crazy woman!”

Claire stared at her coldly before she snorted with a smile. She turned to look at Davis and explained.

”Look, Davis. I still have to make this woman publicly confess her crimes. Besides, we still have to get Weiss Alstreim to publicly confess and die in front of the crowd. Before that, we can't possibly kill her.”

”Yes, but we have made a huge mistake...” Davis shook his head as he withdrew his black arcs of lightning, ”Enmity has already been formed.”

”What do you mean...?” Claire narrowed her brows.

The wordings he initially put, 'Murdering her in cold blood.' caught her attention, making her feel more doubtful.

Davis released his breath in exasperation before he responded in soul transmission, ”Did you find this whole thing... difficult? I'm asking because I saw that you were shedding tears when there is no need for you to...”

Claire's expression faded before she indifferently nodded her head, ”I thought this woman was someone whom I could trust in the past.”
