Chapter 2110 Located

'No, no, no...! It can't be! No way!'

Davis inwardly shouted, realizing that the branch could be pointing to Eterna. However, he quickly denied it because if that was the issue, the branch should've reacted the moment she was born, but it didn't.

Why now?

It couldn't be a simple case of delay, right? Or did Isabella suddenly go into labor and give birth? But in that case, he should've received a heads up.

Hundreds of thoughts ran in Davis's head when he was suddenly startled.

"Are you alright?"

Davis looked at Ivy Aries, who looked at him with worry in her eyes. He realized that his face had gone pale before he couldn't help but smile in relief, knowing that he had almost gone into a panic attack.

"Thanks, but it was nothing. Let's go."

He shot a confident smile before he rushed in the direction of the Grand Alstreim City, causing them to follow him, and as they reached the Grand Alstreim City, they were relieved to know that the branch didn't lead beyond the Grand Alstreim City as they circled the city once.

However, Davis didn't feel relieved at all, his heart beating erratically. But still, he kept his calm and took them inside the Grand Alstreim City, arriving before the central district. Simultaneously, the Viridian Afterlife Path Tree's Branch abruptly shuddered and slightly changed directions, pointing to somewhere else other than the region of Guest Palaces.

"Phew…"

Davis heaved a heavy sigh of relief as he changed directions. Fortunately, his fears were put to rest.

Soon, he approached a location, causing him to blink again.

This location was exuberant and was as luxurious as the regions of the Guest Palaces because it hosted the core families of the Alstreim Family. Living in the high palace before them was Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim's family, including Ancestor Ezekiel Alstreim and his people who returned from the sealed lightning space.

"Mhm? Why is this branch pointing towards one of the core family residences? Does this mean my ancestor is born as an Alstreim?"

Ivy Aries's brows couldn't help but twitch, finding this matter somewhat unacceptable and difficult.

"Who knows?" Davis shrugged, "The Alstreim Family of this time is rapidly growing, so they're also absorbing a lot of talents from outside. It could be possible that it is a result of bringing in outside talent or simply a case of a woman encountering labor while touring. For all we know, your ancestor's parents could be just guests invited to stay."

"Guests?" Ivy Aries frowned, "then that must mean that they have some status… I guess it's going to be challenging to bring back ancestor..."

"Bring back?" Davis raised his brows, "You do realize that even if your ancestor is found, she's still a newborn, and her parents are going to think their baby is wholeheartedly theirs… Are you going to take their baby away from them?"

"Uh… of course… not." Ivy Aries's expression twitched as she forced a smile, "I was going to invite them to the Jade Lotus Valley."

"…"

"…"

Davis stared Ivy Aries into lowering her head, understanding that she had just thought it through.

'Well, the way she thought, she was planning to retrieve her ancestor no matter what, likely afraid that I might do something...'

He understood her thoughts and didn't blame her.

Alia couldn't help but silently laugh as she saw some kind of symphony between them.

"Well, well. If it isn't my son..."

"Who's your son? Go away."

"…!"

Abruptly, two female voices could be heard, causing Davis and the others to turn and look at two white-robed figures standing on top of a palace's veranda. However, Davis's jaws dropped as he saw it was none other than Nora and Claire.

"Mother, why are you here?"

"Son, it's surprising to see you here..."

Claire descended along with Nora while possessing a blatant smile on her face full of happiness. However, Davis's expression had gone slightly pale.

"Mother, don't tell me you brought Eterna here…?"

"Mhm? Eterna…?" Claire's brows furrowed, "How could I do that? You did tell us not to bring Eterna outside, after all. However, we brought Evan and Laura here to play with Nora's family."

"So that's the case..." Davis smilingly nodded, but Clara still had her brows furrowed before her eyes suddenly widened.

"Wait, is Eterna missing?"

"Ah, no, no." Davis smiled, "I'm just here for another matter. It would be complex to explain it to mother, so see you later."

"You-!"

Claire clenched her teeth as she saw Davis's entire entourage disappear. She felt suspicious before she turned to look at Nora.

"Nora, take care of our children. I have something to check on."

Without waiting for an affirmation, Claire left Nora hanging with her mouth agape.

"Wait!"

Nora didn't know what to do before she quickly took out a messaging talisman and warned Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim that Eterna could be in danger. Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim then clamored that he would inform Ancestor Dian Alstreim and Ancestor Ezekiel Alstreim.

Davis raised his head and saw Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim rush out almost instantly, followed by Ancestor Ezekiel Alstreim.

"…"

There was a complex emotion gleaming in his eyes while he returned his gaze to Nora, who seemed like she was going to cry before returning to her palace.

"The Alstreim Family's- no, your family's bond is amazing..."

Mival Silverwind couldn't help but feel impressed, causing Davis to lightly smile. Also, since they were concealed with Davis's prowess, people wouldn't be able to discover that he couldn't help but want to learn the technique.

However, he instantly threw away that thought because he knew that he would not be able to use Death Laws.

"Are you sure you don't want to stop them?" Alia Silverwind enunciated, "This misunderstood matter is going to blow up."

"They'll eventually realize it's a false alarm. In any case, let's search for what we came for. Coincidentally, the coast is clear for us as well."

Davis waved his hand, causing Ivy Aries's lips to twitch.

Sneaking into their own territory? However, considering that they might kidnap a baby, Ivy Aries's obediently had her mouth shut.

On the other hand, Davis was not worried that it would become a big problem because Shirley and Evelynn would be with Eterna. They'd vaguely clarify what he was trying to do since they were aware of his expedition to locate ancestor Aries.

Soon, Davis and the others crossed a few courtyards. They realized that their target wasn't in the towering palaces but in the floating palaces. The floating palaces were not vertical but horizontal, capable of hosting affluent people in a straight line leading to a towering palace. Like this, many streets intersected the mansions, creating a floating community of people moving to and fro.

When they crossed the fifth street, the Viridian Afterlife Path Tree shone with a blinding light, causing the Silverwinds to instantly recognize the destination.

"There, that's the home of the child..."

They pointed at a mansion on the floating palace, but then they noticed Davis's expression was strange.

"Is… is this also fate?"

These words escaped out of his mouth in a mystical tone, causing the Silverwinds and Ivy Aries to be bewildered.
