Old Man Garvin did inwardly crack him up with that honey trap maneuver.
Nevertheless, for Old Man Garvin’s sake, he gave Alexi Ethren a bit of warning.
"Alexi Ethren, as per the request of your ancestor, you are required to search for the Woller Family and make it prosper with the treasures you were provided."
Alexi Ethren stayed silent for a moment before he gave a nod, "I know..."
"In any case, my mother might..."
He abruptly stopped speaking because he caught a glimpse of his mother’s index finger tremble at that moment. When he turned to look at his mother’s face, he saw that her eyelids were quivering.
Alexi Ethren’s expression changed as he became ecstatic!
He didn’t dare to disturb his mother and let her wake up naturally.
In a few seconds, Arianna Woller’s eyes shot open wide! However, she didn’t make a movement. She kept staring at the empty ceiling for a long and the other two men in the room didn’t disturb her.
It took a while before she finally blinked.
She took a deep breath and exhaled before turning to look towards her side, noticing that her son was looking at her with gentle and worried eyes.
"I didn’t die?"
As her melodious and gentle voice echoed in bewilderment, Alexi Ethren’s eyes became moist as he almost let out tears.
He smiled ruefully, momentarily not knowing what to say to her bewildered expression. Only relief and satisfaction remained in his heart.
Arianna Woller’s eyes blinked in disbelief. She raised her hand and tried clenching her fist.
"And why do I not feel weak and lethargic?"
"Wait... I’m at the Law Dominion Stage?"
The Law Dominion Stage is the Seventh Stage in Essence Gathering Cultivation where one is able to produce their own domain, with or without an attribute.
Feeling lost, Arianna Woller subconsciously looked at her son for answers before she finally noticed another man in the room in the corner of her eyes. She instantly narrowed her eyes as her wariness for men, especially handsome-looking men, invoked her cautious nature.
But, noticing that it was just a soul body, her cautiousness dropped a bit but she still maintained eye-contact feeling that this soul body was just as good as a physical body as it materialized.
Alexi Ethren knew of his mother’s past, so he quickly explained whatever that happened after his mother fainted.
Hearing his explanation, Davis nodded his head as Alexi Ethren’s explanation was in accordance with his acting. There were no discrepancies.
As long as the existence of the fake senior sold, he would keep selling it like hotcakes.
As for Arianna Woller, she expressed her disbelief at times and crazy satisfaction at the fact that Kaiser Ethren burned to death. She even visibly relaxed as she took a deep breath and released it even in the presence of another man still near her.
Contrary to the gentle and kind expression she usually had, she had the face of a deranged soul when she heard of Kaiser Ethren’s death throes.
Davis and Alexi Ethren knew that Arianna Woller was likely replaying the scene on her mind with much vividness, however, they were shocked to see tears fall off her eyes as she both sobbed and laughed.
"Ha... Haha... Heh..."
At the same moment, her soul undulations experienced a change and peaked! Her soul force undulated while throbbing and pulsating like a heart, giving birth to the rise in quality of her soul force, and even her soul essence.
Davis blinked his eyes as he saw Arianna Woller make a breakthrough into the Elder Soul Stage!
And judging by the story he heard from Ophelia after being referred by Evelynn about the character Empress Arianna when he mentioned Alexi Ethren’s mother Arianna, he felt that she should be no more than 400 years old.
And when compared with the First Prince and the Second Prince of the Ethren Empire, she’s actually younger than them.
Hailing from the Tripartite Alliance Territory, a territory that rarely has Soul Forging Cultivators due to their incompetency and lack of resources, Arianna Woller sure seemed to be talented in Soul Forging Cultivation.
’Old Man Garvin’s genes?’ Davis mused and became assured that it should be the reason.
However, he also heard that she headed to the Dual Lotus Manor Territory to strengthen herself in a short period of time using unscrupulous means. He didn’t know what that kind of mysterious means that Territory would have in terms of raising Soul Forging Cultivation.
At least, he had never seen a dual cultivation type Soul Forging Cultivation Manual.
As for how he was able to quickly cultivate Soul Forging Cultivation despite his age, he was an anomaly with Fallen Heaven.
As for his wife Evelynn, who seemed to be rapidly improving in her Soul Forging Cultivation, that was because she has a teacher and the necessary resources to cultivate.
That said, he knew that it should be the extermination of a heart demon in her mind that granted her a chance to make a significant breakthrough in Soul Forging Cultivation.
Alexi Ethren couldn’t stand the sight of his mother; master cry as he felt extremely sympathetic. He wanted to embrace her to provide her comfort but was afraid that he would be pushed back again.
Furthermore, since she was making a breakthrough to the Elder Soul Stage; the Fifth Stage in Soul Forging Cultivation, he didn’t dare to disturb her. This is a stage that even the Elders of the Ethren Empire found it difficult to have a breakthrough in each level.
Additionally, they didn’t have a manual that let them reach the Mature Soul Stage, hence, including the Emperors, Grand Elders, and Elders, and even the Ancestor were all stuck in Elder Soul Stage till they died.
But here was his mother who broke through to the Elder Soul Stage whilst she is still considered a junior in the perspective of the Fifty-Two Territories.
To this phenomenon, he was starting to believe that Garvin Woller is really his ancestor from his mother’s line. He still hadn’t got to the inheritance part, so he rather wanted to confirm with his mother if her name is Arianna Woller or not.
If it wasn’t, he really would have to check their authenticity with the Woller Family or give it back to the benefactor, Alchemist Davis since he didn’t want to get in trouble after rejuvenating his mother!
Currently, the thing that proved that they were from the Woller Family is that necklace hanging over his neck, given to him by his mother as a proof of their master-disciple relationship. Furthermore, there was the fact that his blood positively reacted to the first letter, meaning that he should undoubtedly have the blood of Ancestor Garvin Woller running through his veins.
He waited for a few minutes for his mother to calm down by herself. Her tears stopped, her deranged smile faded leaving her with a sense of tranquility as her shoulders relaxed.
It was as if all burdens were released from her shoulders as her tranquil expression produced a curve on her lips that just seemed gentle, just like Alexi Ethren’s normal expression.
"I thank the Conferred Queen’s Protector for protecting my son once and thank Alchemist Davis for your benevolent and generous action of granting the Inheritance of my ancestor to my son."
"I will never ever forget this debt of gratitude..."
Davis nodded his head casually and just when Arianna Woller was about to ask his intentions for protecting her son, Alexi Ethren took this opportunity to explain the inheritance. He displayed the particular Low-Level Emperor Grade spatial ring to her and explained that this was why Alchemist Davis requested senior; the Conferred Queen’s Protector to save them.
"Mother, are you really from the Woller Family?"
He took the first letter out and presented it towards his mother and at the same time, posed the question.
Arianna Woller possessed a confused expression for some time as she listened before her pupils dilated as her eyes trembled. Her lips quivered as memories of yonder flooded her mind.
"I-I remember that my parents repeatedly advise me that the Woller Family is not a rich merchant family but an extremely s-strong family and the proof of it is this necklace with me that’s at the quality of King Grade..."
"They even repeatedly advised me to give this necklace to my heir, so as to not lose the symbol and identity of the main branch family..."
Arianna Woller blinked and looked at her son in disbelief, "At that time, I didn’t pay much attention as I thought that it was just the most precious and useless heirloom of our small Woller Family..."
