Chapter 1107: I Plead Guilty (1/2)

Edgar Alstreim wanted to intervene, telling his daughter Claire that there was no need to go that far as it would be needlessly provoking them. He felt that just having them be punished would be a dream come true, but he felt his blood boil at the mention of Julianna!

Now, he truly wanted to see them kowtow and beg for forgiveness!

”Don't go too far...” Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim uttered as his expression turned into a frown.

When a person gives an inch, people tend to take a yard.

However, Grand Elder Elise Alstreim quickly moved towards Edgar Alstreim. The expressions of many people stiffened, and their essence energy revolved, ready to erupt. However, looking at her stop at a respectful distance, they calmed down.

Grand Elder Elise Alstreim stared at Edgar Alstreim for a while before her eyes narrowed, ”The suffering you must have gone through should be greater than mine, but because you were Weiss's- that person's enemy, I didn't sympathize with you at that time...”

She dropped her knees and knelt in the air as her head aligned, ”Edgar Alstreim...”

Her body trembled, ”I beg for your forgiveness, and I'm deeply regretful for the loss of your wife, Julianna. It was my fault, and I plead that you may show us a path to live.”

Edgar Alstreim's fists shook as he looked at the woman kowtowing in front of him. He possessed enormous killing intent against these people in the past, and even just a while ago, but since it was made known that they weren't directly responsible, he was able to control himself from launching an attack like a madman.

Even though he knew it wouldn't cause them injury, it would still serve to lessen the burden and pain in his heart. Still, he took a step forward, and his hand swung in an arc.

*PahhH!~*

The sound of a slap sharply echoed as Grand Elder Elise Alstreim's expression shook after her head swiveled towards the right. However, she didn't fight back or scream but lowered her head again, obediently and calmly.

”I plead guilty...”

”!!!”

Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim and Patriarch Eldric Alstreim had their heads almost blown out in anger!

Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim's entire body trembled when he saw his daughter Elise kneel. However, he truly couldn't take it when he saw her be slapped! Not even he, her father, had slapped her!

Patriarch Eldric Alstreim possessed dense killing intent in his eyes! No one slaps his mother!

They were practically spitting flames in their eyes!

However, they didn't lash out or move. If they did, Elise Alstreim's dignity, which was sacrificed, would be in vain.

That's why, as they controlled themselves, blood dripped from their lips as they suppressed their own cultivations. They had slightly injured themselves as their raging energy had nowhere to go.

Edgar Alstreim coldly looked at her without any fear in his eyes, nor with any joy or relief. However, his eyes seem to be grieving. He turned back and returned to his position a few tens of meters back.

*Clack~~*

Claire snapped her fingers, and her lips moved, ”I declare that their sentences have been shortened by a hundred years each.”

”If another person were to kneel, I would shorten it by two hundred years!”

She was like a Disciplinary Hall Elder, granting people amnesty.

”You!!!-”

*Whoosh!~*

While Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim finally could no longer take this farce, he was about to explode and at least lash out with words, but Patriarch Eldric Alstreim rushed forward and knelt beside his mother.

Patriarch Eldric Alstreim took a deep breath and kowtowed, uttering something similar, but he took much more time as his body kept trembling in shame.

Edgar Alstreim nodded his head to Claire as soon as Patriarch Eldric Alstreim finished his part. He had no enmity with this person in any case but to have the Patriarch kneel to him; he felt that his grievances towards the indifference of the other family members who had stood and watched, doing nothing to help had cleared a bit.

But the dense killing intent the Patriarch projected had him worried for his family.

Claire noticed that and spoke.

”I won't forgive if you lay a hand on my family.”

Patriarch Eldric Alstreim gritted his teeth and spoke, ”Edgar Alstreim wen-

”Went too far? Do you really think so when Grand Elder Elise Alstreim is the sole reason Weiss Alstreim was unbridled, enabling him to kill my mother?” Claire coldly uttered.

”Despite your actions, you do not seem like repenting to me...”

Patriarch Eldric Alstreim's pupils trembled. When he saw someone slap his mother, nothing mattered. But he now understood that he couldn't do anything about it.
