Chapter 1027: Win-Lose? (1/2)
”Mother, you look like you have a face that says that I'm right...” Davis raised his brows before he leaned on the sofa.
”No, even if she confessed, I would have still killed her, but the reality is... that she is innocent in my quest for revenge other than the fact that she failed to keep her subordinate in check.”
Davis nodded his head. It is weren't for her being innocent; he felt that there was little to no reason in keeping her alive.
”Nora and I...” Claire suddenly spoke, ”Ever since the day I began my cultivation, I could only recall competing with her. No matter what competition or tempering session it may be, we competed against each other. Most of the time, she won, and sometimes, I won. However, that was only until my Soul Forging Cultivation rose above her, leaving her in the dust.”
”From that time, the frequency of my victories increased, but Nora soon caught up, and each day, we... seemed to be enjoying the motivation each other gave to reach the peak of cultivation.”
”Nevertheless, for my father, I felt that I should become stronger than the norm of what it is required to be a Young Mistress and decided to participate in the Forsaken Phoenix Realm's tempering trial, and that is when I met with her cruel betrayal. That fake Imagery Stone made me feel immense pain from betrayal rather than despair, so I tried to make my way out but got caught by your father.”
Claire noticed Davis's strange expression and smiled, ”It's not like what you are thinking... After... a few things happened, your father helped me sneak out from the eyes of the Guardian Alliance, and deliberating that I had no reasonable way to return, I came to eventually fall in love with him, giving birth to you...”
”In any case, know that Nora Alstreim is simply not a rival. We were like...”
”Sisters with a complicated relationship...?” Davis finished with a question.
Claire paused before she imperceptibly nodded her head.
”Davis, what do you think I should do?”
”Well, I have two plans...” Davis raised two fingers before he pointed at one with his other hand, ”One is a detailed plan while the other plan is a simple one but is also probably the end result if you don't follow the first plan.”
Davis waited for what seemed like a long while before he heard it from his mother.
”Let me hear it first, the detailed plan...”
Davis pursed his lips in hesitation before he opened his mouth, ”Mother, I'd like to warn you would not like to hear this...”
”It's fine. At this point, I'm already deep inside to back out.” Claire's expression became determined.
”Alright, then... The plan is to naturally overwrite Nora Alstreim's target of affection from them to someone else.”
”Naturally overwrite?” Claire narrowed her blonde brows, ”How is it easy to do that?”
”Didn't Ancestor Dian Alstreim say it?”
Claire became confused before she brought her hand to her mouth as her eyes widened in shock, ”You want her?”
She let out a gasp of disbelief.
Davis became unamused, ”I don't want her...”
”Then...” Claire's shocked expression faded as it became confused, ”What are you saying? If it is Logan, then-”
Davis produced a wry smile, ”Did I forget to mention that Nora Alstreim confessed her love to father?”
”What!?” Claire stood up in shock and stared at her son in disbelief.
Davis still kept his wry expression.
He knew he should've said this sooner, but it was also better if it was left unsaid.
