Although not entirely the same, the teenage girl reminded her of the time when she was in her childhood. It was as if looking at herself in the mirror when she was twelve!
For a moment, Davis thought there was a conspiracy that was behind when he noticed the woman beside the teenage girl and his maternal grandfather. However, in an instant, it all connected in his mind.
He became dumbfounded by this conclusion he had arrived at!
Claire’s mouth hung agape in incredulity!
He looked at his mother and also saw that she was equally or more shocked than him. It looked as if she didn’t think her father would really remarry of all things! Even bringing a child into this world in the process!
Davis became flabbergasted by the revelation. He once again thought that he would have to console his mother but to his surprise, his mother let out a giggle as she smiled.
He became speechless once again.
’Could it be that mother finally lost it?’ He inwardly mused but heard something different.
"I’m glad that father finally got over from the news of my fake death and the shadow of my mother’s death..." Claire suddenly uttered.
She laughed, "Did you two know that when I got stranded in the Grand Sea Continent and never thought I would return, I sincerely wished for my father to forget me and my mother and start a new life..."
"And looking at that another variant of cute little me... It seems like he really did start his life anew around ten to fifteen years ago..."
Claire’s eyes moistened again, feeling happy for her father.
It didn’t feel like his mother was saying all this to console herself but it seemed as if that’s how she really felt.
"With this, I have one less worry..." Closing her eyes, Claire placed her palm over her heart and sighed, "There’s two of them to look after my father in the future..."
"No, it’s probably three..." Davis pointed at his grandfather who placed his hand over the abdomen of that woman beside him.
Claire became shocked again as he saw the projection. She couldn’t help but laugh the next moment, "It looks like their relationship is good as well..."
They saw them finally exiting the Banquet Hall and the projection was no longer cast at their backs anymore, instead, the projection returned to displaying the main characters oo the Banquet Hall.
Davis suddenly looked around and saw that there was no one listening in on their conversation. He did have his High-Level Mature Soul Stage Cultivation active all the time, hence, he was not deeply bothered with all this talk out in the open.
Yes, once Davis broke through in Soul Forging Cultivation at the Sunset Tear Mountain a few days ago, his avatar too had simultaneously experienced a breakthrough. Hence, it could be said as long as they were within range, their experiences and memories would be shared.
And with the current breakthrough, that range just increased by a few thousand kilometers.
"Well, it seems like it is necessary to sightsee or adventure sometimes, otherwise, we would have never found your father, Claire..." Logan commented.
Claire and Davis smiled. They couldn’t help but agree and talk over that topic for a while.
At this moment, from the flight of stairs leading to the third level, two figures joined the crowd as they flew below. As if it were fate, the flight of stairs they came out from turned out to be the one located in the southeast direction.
Edgar Alstreim couldn’t help but ask, "Tia, why did you choose this direction when we came from the southwest direction?"
Tia Alstreim, the one who looked like a teenage girl tapped her lips before she pursed, "Don’t know, I just felt like it..."
He shuffled her hair and smiled, "What’s with you? The moment you heard that your grandpa was heading towards the Ethren Empire, you suddenly say that you wanted to go to the Ethren Empire with your grandpa, even dragging your mother and even me in the process. Did something happen?"
Tia Alstreim pouted and decided to finally come out with it.
"It’s as if something just keeps whispering in my head, telling me to move. It’s incomprehensible, so I can only rely on the direction it is pointing me towards..."
Edgar Alstreim’s pupils trembled as a term instantly popped up in his mind.
He placed his finger over this lips, telling her to be quiet.
Realizing that her father had become solemn all of a sudden, Tia Alstreim closed her mouth with her palm.
It rather came off as a cute gesture causing Edgar Alstreim to chuckle but his eyes remained with a hint of seriousness. He looked at his daughter and inwardly sighed in his heart.
This is a phenomenon that appears to a person who possesses a certain unique constitution. In the early years, people with this unique constitution would experience echoes in their ears as if someone was guiding them.
And people with this unique constitution more or less ends up as a Mystic Diviner!
How did Edgar Alstreim know? Because his daughter had previously experienced this phenomenon and told him about this because she got scared.
After resolving the matter, he intensely studied this phenomenon in the Alstreim Family Grand Library and managed to come across this unique phenomenon that happens to only those who possess this unique constitution.
And this unique constitution happened to be the one which made people easily comprehend Karma Laws! At least, when compared to normal people.
Learning about this, he even made her make a promise with him and forbade her from telling her mother, Lia Alstreim.
It was a secret between him and his daughter. Although he felt guilty for not revealing this matter to his wife, Lia Alstreim, he believed that it was all for the betterment and safety of their daughter.
He couldn’t help but inwardly sigh, ’As soon as Tia reaches eighteen, she would have to undergo tests to have her talent and comprehension designated under categories.’
’There’s a chance that her unique constitution would be found out by then...’
In the past, when Tia Alstreim was born, there was not much of a change in her vitals or much of a change in her physical traits. She was nothing more than a normal baby.
But when he read about the unique constitution, he found out that it is not perceivable through external traits unless the person experiences the Whispers of Fate phenomenon in the future.
’Until then, I must find a way to leave the Alstreim Family along with my daughter for a few decades. As for Lia, I’m not sure if she would follow me to the end, nor do I want to risk it by letting her know.’
Edgar Alstreim clenched his fists, ’I’ve already lost the two people I deeply endeared and loved. As for losing Tia because of the Alstreim Family’s greed, I’m not willing!’
His chest heaved before he let out a smile and thought, ’Well, let’s see where this whisper of fate takes her...’
Whisper of Fate phenomenon...
When it happens it usually meant that a small or a great change in the trajectory of that person’s life is going to occur. Only, he didn’t know if it were good or bad.
But as far as he knew, it seemed that most of the people who experienced this phenomenon listened to it and crossed many hurdles because of it.
For example, during a wilderness training, the Whispers of Fate phenomenon occurred to a person during his younger years, telling him to collect a herb. Later, that single herb helped him reach the Law Sea Stage.
’Perhaps, my little Tia would experience such luck too...’ Edgar Alstreim grinned.
