Chapter 127 Annie's Questioning

Author: Lil Thorny Flower
When she came to the building, Queenie stared at it, her eyes wide as saucers. "What a tall building. That's the city's richest company for you," she muttered. She went into the building.

There was an exquisite office on the sixty-sixth floor, and it belonged to Alexander. He just came back from a meeting, and sitting across from him was his daughter, Annie.

Annie was in formal attire, beautiful as a celeb. Her hair was wine-colored and slightly curled. She had a body more perfect than a model's, and she shone like a diamond. Annie studied abroad since she was little, and she was a successful woman.

At 17 years old, she already had an MBA and a Master's in Finance. She was also fluent in four languages, but everyone said she was too pushy and bossy, so they called her the tigress of the business world, or simply the tigress.

Annie was in a suit, black stockings, and red heels. She was handing a material report to Alexander, reporting, "Dad, this is the second season's sales for my

    The mention of Queenie made Alexander speechless. He knew his daughter was smart, and now she found out who the lady was. Alexander just wanted to say this was a big mistake."Annie, you don't understand. I—"He was about to explain, but then a secretary came in. "Mr. Weeks, someone wants to see you."Alexander asked, "Who is it?""A lady by the name of Queenie Sanders."The mention of that name horrified Alexander, but Annie put on a cryptic smile. She thought, 'Speak of the devil.'Alexander felt awkward, but he had no choice. Queenie was his lord's partner. He would never show her any discourtesy. Quickly, he told the secretary, "Bring her in.""Of course," said the secretary.After the secretary was gone, Alexander told Annie, "Annie, it's not what you think. Whatever you're thinking, it's not it. Ms. Sanders is—"Annie interrupted, "It's alright, Dad. I'd love to see who the lady is. It's remarkable that my father would give her a billion-dollar diamond right after he saw

    "My family's in the pharmaceutical business.""Is that so? Pharm's not in the best situation recently. How's your business going?""As you've said, pharm's not in the best state. But it's all thanks to Mr. Weeks. If not for him, my family would've gone bankrupt," said Queenie honestly.Annie shot a look at her father. Alexander felt more awkward than ever. He knew his daughter all too well. She had a sharp tongue and an even sharper mind. He could see Annie trying to interrogate Queenie, so he stepped in."Annie, she just came to our company. She's a guest, so stop questioning her." Alexander turned to Queenie. "Have a seat, Ms. Sanders. My secretary will come in with some coffee.""It's alright, Mr. Weeks. I came here today to thank you for all the help you've given me. I'd like to ask you out for a meal to thank you."'A meal?' Alexander thought. This was putting him in a dilemma. He was only nice to Queenie because of Nox. Now that she was asking him out for a meal, he would h

    Ever since the Battle of the Ten Nations, the people of Faeast thought Nox was dead, but he was actually alive.Alexander smiled dryly. He mused, 'You've already seen Lord Nox, my dear child. You just didn't realize it.' He wouldn't tell Annie that, of course.Annie winked at her father. "Take me along tomorrow, Dad.""And why should I do that?" Alexander rolled his eyes.Annie held her father's arm and started acting cute. "Aw, please, just this once, Daddy? I promise I'll just stay quiet and have my lunch. Please, Daddy?"Alexander could never resist this, so he said, "Fine, fine.""Thanks, Dad. I'll get back to work now," Annie said happily, and she left her father's office.Alexander saw Annie off, and he shook his head, smiling dryly.Nox was back at home, and Alexander called him. He picked it up. "Yes?""Milord. There is emergency news that I must let you know. Ms. Sanders has met me, and—"Before he could finish, Nox said, "She arranged for a lunch meetup, did she not

    But before they could leave, George and Yvette came rushing after them. "Queenie, wait!"Queenie turned around in surprise. Her folks were dressed resplendently, especially her father. He even wore his Armani suit. It had been years since he wore that. Yvette was in a gown as well, and she was wearing a pearl necklace around her neck.Queenie looked at them in surprise. "What are you two doing?""You're going to have lunch with Mr. Weeks, aren't you? Your mother and I had a talk, and we decided to go with you.""What? You guys are coming with me?" Queenie was speechless."Yeah."Queenie quickly said, "Mom, Dad, I'm just going to thank Alexander. Why are you two coming with me?"Yvette smiled. "Don't worry, Queenie. We're just going to watch.""It's just lunch. There's nothing to watch." Queenie did not look happy at all.George pointed at Nox angrily. "We're just watching. Besides, if he can go, why can't we?"Queenie was frustrated. She only set up this lunch to talk things

    George kept driving and finally stopped at the hotel's gigantic parking lot. Queenie and Nox then got out of the car. "Mom, Dad, I really can't take you along, so I'm sorry," said Queenie."It's alright," said Yvette. "Just meet up with Mr. Weeks and tell him we're thankful for his help.""Sure." Queenie was about to leave with Nox."Hold it," said George."What is it, Dad?" Queenie turned around."Queenie, why do you bring him along for the meetup?" George pointed at Nox.Queenie wouldn't tell George she was going to clear things up with Alexander. She knew her father all too well. If she let anything slip, George would never let Nox follow her.So, she lied, "He's there to stand guard for me. He's my bodyguard.""Your bodyguard?""Yeah. Dad, don't you remember? Nox can fight. With him by my side, I'll be safe."George looked at Nox with disgust, but it was true he could fight, and his daughter did get kidnapped last time. He said, "Fine. But Mr. Weeks is a big shot.

    And he too managed to make the ten nations give up nearly ten thousand miles of their land. The people of Faeast saw Lord Nox as their god, so Queenie knew of his stories. When she looked at the statue again, she muttered, "So that's Lord Nox."The waiter said, "Yes. The reason our hotel is named so is because the owner worships Lord Nox.""I see. No wonder it's called that," muttered Queenie. She was then reminded of the nation's mourning, and she lamented, "It's a pity he had fallen."Nox frowned. When he first heard of the hotel's name, he wondered why it had his name. And now his question was answered. He then looked at the statue of himself, and he muttered, "Looks hideous.""Come with me, please, Ms. Sanders." The waiter led Queenie and Nox to the parlor. The Great Banquet Hall was a luxurious place. The parlor was huge, and there was a pool, a bar, and various entertainment inside.Queenie stared at the parlor, her eyes wide. "You got it all wrong. I didn't reserve somethin

    Alexander turned his attention to Nox and gave him a look of respect, but he said nothing so he wouldn't expose Nox's true identity.When Annie realized Nox was in there with Queenie, she frowned. "This guy again? Dad welcomed this guy himself last time, and he's the son of Dad's old friend? Why is he here?"Nox was calm and collected. Queenie, however, was awkward when she saw Alexander.Alexander smiled at Queenie. "Sorry for the tardiness, Ms. Sanders.""I don't mind, Mr. Weeks. You're too kind. And I'm sorry. I didn't think you'd be the owner of this establishment," said Queenie.Alexander laughed. "Don't mention it, Ms. Sanders. Is this parlor to your liking?""Very much so.""Good to hear. Please, take a seat."And Queenie sat. This was supposed to be her treat, but now it felt like Alexander was the one treating her to lunch. After everyone had taken their seats, Alexander said, "Serve the food."And then great food kept coming in. Once all the food was served, Queenie

    Annie, however, was unfazed. She wanted her question answered.Queenie answered calmly, "Ms. Annie, there is a misunderstanding. I am holding this lunch to thank Mr. Weeks, and I need to make things clear with him. I have a boyfriend."Annie asked, "So you're saying everything my father did was a waste?"Queenie said, "I am grateful for what he did, so I'll try my best to repay him.""And how will you do that?" Annie questioned.Queenie explained, "I know I don't have that capability for now, but trust me. Someday, I'll repay all the kindness Mr. Weeks has shown me. And it's my freedom to date and bring my boyfriend to this meetup."Annie was about to say something, but Alexander stepped in. "Annie, shut it. You are not to show any insolence to Ms. Sanders."Annie was flabbergasted. "What is going on, Dad? Why are you so nice to her? She's treating you to lunch, but she brought her boyfriend along. She's trying to embarrass you."Alexander roared in his mind, 'You stupid girl!

    Three months later, Nox declared Faeast as the leader of all nations, ushering in a true era of peace and prosperity. Then, he abdicated the throne, passing the throne to Nineve. Nox proclaimed that this nation was neither the Greenshade nor the Limerent family's, but a world that belonged to its people.One year later, Nox and Queenie lounged under the warm sun on the sandy shores of the Ocean of Death, enjoying a rare moment of tranquility. The world had finally settled into peace, allowing them to take a well-deserved rest."Nono, what's Aphrodite up to?" Queenie asked, her brows furrowed as she leaned against Nox. "Is she planning something shady again? She's been building alliances all over like she wants to imitate the Three-Eyed Empress.""Death changes people," Nox replied calmly. "Don't worry about her. She knows exactly what she's doing."Old Aphrodite would've killed Jacques and run off to save herself without a second thought. Instead, she spared him, stripped his cul

    The Nine-State Crucible hovered majestically over the heavens, drawing all the spiritual energy from the Nine States and Five Domains into itself. As the ultimate artifact of Faeast, the crucible was unmatched—a legendary relic that had never known defeat.The origins of the Nine-State Crucible were shrouded in mystery. No one knew who forged it nor why it disappeared over the ages. For centuries, many dismissed it as a mere myth. Yet now, it reappeared, proving its existence—and, by extension, the truth of all the ancient legends tied to it.The sight left every cultivator present in awe, bowing in reverence to the artifact."The ancient sovereigns of Faeast forged the Nine-State Crucible to safeguard the Nine States and Five Domains. "Its power ensures that Ascendants cannot interfere with the mortal realm. It has crushed even Ascendants in the past, and you, still merely a mortal cultivator, think you can stand against it? I promised to crush you, and I will!"With Nox at it

    However, only Nox himself could sever the celestial providence. Only by cutting off the Celestial Lord's celestial providence could Faeast's providence be restored to its peak."Damn it! Nox Greenshade! Do you really think you can defy the heavens? I didn't want to damage my cultivation, but it seems I have no choice but to go all out! You think a one-ring Minor Saint can defeat me? I am the Celestial Lord—the apex of mortals, the Great Saint of Dao and Virtue, ordained by the heavens themselves!"The Celestial Lord's furious roar resonated across Mystia, drawing in vast waves of spiritual energy from the realm that converged upon him alone."Great Saint of Dao and Virtue? If the so-called heavens of the Transcendent Firmament made you, it only proves that even they have failures," Nox retorted coldly.Even the Celestial Lord, enraged as he was, could scarcely believe Nox's audacity—daring to disparage the mighty figures of the Transcendent Firmament."I am indeed a one-ring Minor

    'What? Griffin was a sworn brother to Magic Mountain's founder?!'"That's right," confirmed the formation master. "He only told us recently."As the first to learn of this connection, he had shared it with the Saints of the Five Elements, ensuring they wouldn't betray their alliance. Using the promise of ascension as leverage, he managed to secure their cooperation. After all, the Great Saint of Fire had already reached the threshold for ascension.The risks were minimal, and upon ascending to the Transcendent Firmament, the Magic Mountain's founder would surely offer his guidance. For that reason alone, the five mentors had rallied to aid Nox.With such mighty forces gathered, morale on Nox's side soared. Meanwhile, the Whitefield family's spirits plummeted, crashing from the heights of hope to the depths of despair in mere moments. The mental strain caused several of their weaker-willed members to break completely.With dread settling over them, the Whitefields could only place

    The Whitefields were getting cocky, but then they realized the powerhouses that came weren't responding. The aura was powerful, but there was no life in it. On closer inspection, they noticed that the leader of the group only had half a body left. His soul was missing. The quartet behind him was nothing but a pile of mincemeat.The portal buzzed again, and seven silhouettes came out. Five of them felt domineering, and they looked prideful. It almost felt like they were peerless. These people were none other than the Saints of the Five Elements.Four of them were Pinnacle Minor Saints. While one had an aura so strong, this place couldn't handle it."A Great Saint! Great Saint of Fire!" Fiery Ignis, Dominic, and Achille couldn't believe their eyes.It had been too long since Mystia saw a Great Saint, and he was Nox's mentor."So, he's the one who broke through first. But now he's already hit his bottleneck. The other four's power isn't enough. If the Sacred Beast Seal isn't upgraded

    The Montgomerys and the Byrds decided to see Nox together, but they were refused. They were cursing Nox and calling him disrespectful, but then they saw Nox and his team taking a portal to the path of the ancient divine."What? He went right to them? Why? He's going to fight the Celestial Lord now?" The representatives were shocked.'How dare they!' they thought.Nox and his team went through the portal quickly and appeared right over the Whitefields' place. The Whitefield family was the newest member of the divine four and the real mastermind behind the Inkdarks' demise."Kirin, I told you I'd take you back here someday. I told you that when we come back, the Whitefields will be no more. If you can't do it, I can wipe them out for you." Nox looked at Kirin."Don't look down on me, milord. You don't need to dirty your hands for them. I'll do it!" Kirin summoned his avatar, and with Saint power infused, the avatar turned into a real beast. The sacred beast itself descended upon the

    "Time to finish this. My lord's going to the path of the ancient divine next. You should decide who's going to take over after the Celestial Lord is taken down. That's all. Now let's talk about our personal business. Listen up, anyone who had a part in attacking my family, tell your clans that I'm coming for them. I'm killing all of you!"Bloodlust filled the air, and the representatives were shocked. "You killed your own family. Yes, we made them attack you, but we never wanted to wipe it out!" the Whitefields' representative said.Kirin flew into a rage. "How low can you go? You forced them to kill me, or you would wipe us out instead! You think I'm stupid? You'd have killed my family either way! I know how you guys function. You're crueler than any beast out there. Listen up, there's still time to plan for your funeral. You'd better make a good plan."Kirin chased everyone away. The families were going back to prepare for battle, but two remained behind. One was the Byrds' repres

    Nox's Magick Sword crushed the enemy leader's soul. "I said I would cut you down, and I did. Now do you see who's the ignorant one?"The enemy leader realized that Nox was the man at the pinnacle. Perhaps the moment Nox became a faux Saint, he was already no match for him. "So what if you can kill me? You are Faeast's Sovereign, and you have a duty to push Faeast to power. But the Celestial Lord still exists. As long as he is around, your wish will never be fulfilled." He sneered."Is that so? Well, he's next on the list to be culled. If anyone tries to make an enemy out of me, I will destroy them and their families, even if they are from the path of the ancient divine!"Nox shattered the remains of the soul, and the path of the martial's leader was no more. The problem harassing Faeast for millennia could be solved at long last. Achille was stunned. It hadn't been that long, but Nox had surpassed him.Nox was better than him in every way. He was an even better swordsman than Achil

    The enemy leader was waiting. One technique broken wasn't enough to take Nox out. He wanted to wait until Nox had cast all he knew and find an opening to take him down, but Nox wanted to take him down with the power of the sword."You're stubborn. Very well, this makes things easier for me. I'll kill you, or at the very least, wound you!" He'd be stupid not to take advantage of this. The enemy leader's avatar morphed into a gigantic fist and slammed into Nox's chest.The impact shot through his body and reached his soul. Nox spat blood, and his soul was injured.Achille couldn't stand by anymore. Nox just told him not to push himself, but he wasn't taking his own advice. Then, Nox's weak will-of-the-sword shone blindingly, and then Unto the Origin appeared once more."Even under my pressure, you can use this technique? You're strong, but you're as stubborn as your mentor. You've lost your chance! Die! You'll never get here in time, Achille! Shadowkill!"The enemy leader's avatar t
