Annie wanted to go with them as well, but Alexander said, "Annie, you and everyone else stay here. I need to talk to our guest alone."Disgruntled, Annie grunted, but she glared at Nox. She thought, 'What's so special about him? Why is Dad giving him the VIP treatment?'Nox followed Alexander into his private study. The first thing Nox saw was the memorial tablet in the center of the study. 'In memory of Lord Nox.'Nox approached the tablet and stared at it for what felt like an eternity."Milord, I humbly greet you." Just like that, the richest man in Riverton knelt with a thud behind Nox.Nox did not turn around. Coolly, he asked, "You know who I am?""Of course. I have never seen you in the flesh, but I know that token. That is your symbol, milord. No one can possess that item but you," Alexander said carefully.A long silence later, Nox slowly turned around. "Stand.""Yes, milord." Alexander got back up on his feet. He couldn't hide his ecstasy, however, and he was tremblin
Revenge of the Night Chapter 18 A Rude Lady
Alexander racked his head, but he had no idea what that family was. A while later, he shook his head. "Apologies, milord. I have never heard of that family.""It doesn't matter. They are but a small family in this city, and this little favor stemmed from what they did." Nox told Alexander about the Sanders family, though he made it brief.Alexander got the gist of it right after that. He wasn't the richest man for nothing, after all. "I see. What would you wish for me to do, milord?" Alexander asked.Nox smiled. "The puny Sanders family would sacrifice their daughter's happiness and subject her to a marriage of convenience for mere pennies. Send your men to liberate her from her prison. Do not let the Sanderses torment her. If anyone does, you don't need to spare their lives.""Understood, milord. I shall be issuing orders right away."Nox nodded."Milord, do you need my services in any other matter?" Alexander asked respectfully.Nox waved his hand. "Nothing at the moment, but to keep
Revenge of the Night Chapter 19 Queenie's Obstinacy
Ever since Queenie was taken back to the Sanders Residence, she had been locked up in her room. A woman's voice came from that room. "You're going to give me a heart attack someday, Queenie. Why did you do that? Why did you go on a vacation with a total stranger? And why did you take him to your place?"The voice belonged to Queenie's mother—Yvette Crystals."And who is that man? When did you two start to date?"Queenie couldn't take the barrage of questions anymore. "Mom, I've told you. I don't know him. We're not dating. He's just a stranger I fished out of the sea.""You're still lying to me even now?" Yvette was furious. With a heavy heart, she said, "Queenie, I raised you. You are not the kind of girl who'd lie to me. What happened to you?"Queenie smiled bitterly and shook her head in resignation."You just crossed the whole family, and your lover beat Silas up. What should we do now?""That was not my fault, Mom. Silas went too far," Queenie protested."He went too far?
Revenge of the Night Chapter 20 Ferguson Comes
Hogs had always been the dominant one in the family, and now, the chance for George to make a turnaround had arrived. If his daughter could marry Silas, he could finally have the upper hand, but his daughter brought humiliation to him instead."I'm sorry, Hogs. I'll make sure you and the family are happy with the outcome of this matter."Hogs sneered, "And how will you do that? Centersea has canceled all partnerships with us, and our company's going to be in a standstill. How will you make it up to us?"George sighed. "Don't worry, Hogs. I'll apologize to Silas.""And what good will that do? He already saw your daughter's lover, and the bastard even beat him up. I heard that he's still in the hospital," Hogs said sternly.Jezebiah sneered, "I never pegged Queenie as someone that wild, uncle."Despite the insults, George could only hang his head low."If we lose this marriage, I will have to take drastic measures on you, brother. You know I've been the lynchpin of this family for
Revenge of the Night Chapter 21 Queenie Released
Hogs took a deep breath and simpered like a sycophant as he approached Ferguson. "I'm Hogs, the head of this family. And you are…""Ferguson Laws. A steward of Empire Corp's CEO, nothing more," Ferguson replied.Even though he knew this, Hogs was still surprised this man really was working for Empire Corp. "Mr. Laws, I apologize for this less-than-acceptable welcome. Please, come in. We'll need to throw a warm reception. We're the hosts, after all," said Hogs unctuously.Ferguson waved him down. "Spare me the pleasantries. I came here for one reason. My employer is seeking a certain person."He was looking for someone?Hogs and George were left wondering. The Sanders family was just a third-rate family in this city. Compared to Empire Corp, they were nothing, and yet now Empire Corp wanted to seek someone from within their abode.A confused Hogs asked, "And who might that be, Mr. Laws?""Queenie Sanders."The Sanderses were stupefied, including George.Curious, Hogs asked, "Why are you
Revenge of the Night Chapter 22 A Trump Card
Ferguson smiled. "Hello, Ms. Sanders. Mr. Weeks sent me here.""Mr. Weeks? Who's that?" Queenie asked curiously."His full name is Alexander Weeks."Hogs and George almost fell to the ground. The richest man of Riverton really did have business with them.Queenie, however, muttered, "Sorry, but I don't know that guy."Hogs and George felt their legs getting weak again."It's very normal for that to happen, but he did tell me you are his VIP from today onward. Should you run into any trouble, do please tell us. Say the word, and our company can deal with all your problems. That's the promise my employer made. Problems like… imprisonment."The Sanders family looked tense immediately. They couldn't believe Alexander wanted to get to know Queenie and stand up for her. This was not what they expected.Queenie was stunned as well. She had no idea what Empire Corp or who Alexander Weeks was, but she was getting some ideas after she heard Ferguson speak. "I have no idea who your boss i
Revenge of the Night Chapter 23 Queenie Is Back
Right after Queenie left, Hogs' screams of rage could be heard coming from his study. "That damned brat! She thinks she owns the family just because she knows Alexander? Damn her!"Sounds of things being smashed came from the study next. Hogs was furious this time."Calm down, Dad. This is just her final struggle. Once she marries Silas, the family will be fully under our control," Jezebiah said.Hogs held his fury back. A while later, he said, "You're right, but something feels off. How did she manage to get in touch with someone like Alexander?""I think it's probably Silas," Jezebiah said."Silas?""Yeah. Think about it, Dad. Aside from Centersea, who else has the privilege of getting in touch with Empire Corp?"Hogs thought that was a good point. "Let's say that Silas was behind this. Why isn't he letting us keep the girl locked up then?" That was something Hogs couldn't understand.Jezebiah rubbed his chin. "Maybe he really likes her and didn't want us to punish her."Hog
Revenge of the Night Chapter 24 The Innocent Queenie
Queenie thought an amnesiac staying in an unfamiliar place alone would end up in chaos. Nox could've run around aimlessly, but he stayed at the mansion, much to her surprise.Nox looked at Queenie and smiled. "I didn't run. I was waiting for you.""Not bad. You're smart for waiting. If you had run off, I wouldn't have tried to find you or anything." Queenie put her bag down. "Hello, Blackshark. Miss me?"Queenie ran to her mastiff and patted his head. The mastiff nudged toward Nox."Thank you, Nono." Queenie got up."What did you just call me?" Nox was flabbergasted."Nono. Because you're Nox, aren't you?" Queenie asked.Nox was speechless. He was the god of war of Faeast, and yet this girl just gave him a ridiculous nickname."Thanks for saving me and teaching that bastard a lesson," Queenie said.Nox didn't really mind what Queenie called him. He smiled. "No problem."Worried, Queenie muttered, "But that bastard's one heck of a petty a-hole. I wouldn't put anything past him

Revenge of the Night Chapter 1948 Fighting Nocturna
On the ship's bridge, Vermillion Bird noticed something was off. The deck below her was engulfed in a dark cloud that her Divine Sense could not penetrate."Stupid White Tiger. You refused to strike back then. Now, look at this. You've given him a chance to use the Forbidden Arts. If I weren't here, who knows how much more time you would have wasted?" she grumbled. Just as she was about to make a move, White Tiger's voice reached her."Stop! Who are you looking down on? I don't need your help! Also, keep a civil tongue! I am ranked second among the Four Great Generals. I am your superior!"She fell silent."You're a fool!" Vermillion Bird rolled her eyes. After informing White Tiger to deal with his own mess, she ignored the fight and went into the bridge control room to contact the security center of Brunhild Manor.As she communicated with them, White Tiger's fight continued.However, it was not White Tiger who made the first move. It was Nocturna, who had merged with the black
Revenge of the Night Chapter 1947 Dealing with Assad Temple
In the straits near the Brunhild Manor, a fleet of three ships was stationed there.Thunder crackled across the skies as the waves crashed in fury.Even so, the three ships remained stationary on the sea, unfazed by the weather.This was not good news to the ships' crew members.It felt like the ships were haunted. It was just too creepy!A dark and sinister force enveloped the three ships, causing the crew to panic and fervently pray to their gods for protection.On the flagship, all of the crew members were rendered immobile on the floor by a horrifying aura.Occasionally, shrill screams of pain would echo across the ship.Half of the corpse of a demigod from Assad Temple crashed through the ship's cabin walls, leaving a trail of blood across the deck.Not long after that, Nocturna was pinned to the deck by an immense force. It took him a long time before he managed to stumble to his feet.At that moment, Nocturna lost all of his previous confidence. His face was stark whit
Revenge of the Night Chapter 1946 Meeting Elizabeth Snowden
Elizabeth grabbed Nox's hand, forcibly shaking it. "I'm Elizabeth Snowden, and I've always admired you. How did you survive being surrounded by the ten nations in the Ocean of Death?"Nox chuckled in shock. How did the princess of Brundela know of that?At the same time, he felt some awkwardness. After all, what he did in the Ocean of Death was not something to be commended for.Even James could tell Nox was feeling awkward. It was a surprise to find the Nine-State Lord anxious."Your Highness, the martial arts masters of the ten nations in the Ocean of Death were no match for Lord Nox. He was only surrounded by enemies because he was betrayed by a woman he trusted," James explained.As a national intelligence officer, James naturally knew the truth behind the Ocean of Death incident."Please stop talking about it. It was so embarrassing. I've never been so pathetic before," Nox said with a wave of his hand."No! How can it be embarrassing? It was none of your fault. In fact, it
Revenge of the Night Chapter 1945 Wish Came True
Nox could fully represent Faeast, but James couldn't do the same for Brundela, so he had no idea how to answer.Nox said, "It's alright. We'll strike up a partnership with the royal family. I'll handle the affairs with Brundela after that."James heaved a sigh of relief. Without Nox, Elizabeth would've died. Then, James remembered that Dickson's fleet was still in the waters."This isn't a safe place to talk, Nine-State Lord. Dickson's fleet is here. If they were to fire their cannons, none of us can leave," James said quickly.Vermilion Bird gave him a look of scorn. Cannons were useless. With her lord around, he could stop even a forbidden item."I'll handle him when the time comes. Is White Tiger done? Check on him, Vermilion Bird. I don't want him taking out the whole fleet. They're our exit ticket."Vermilion Bird quickly went to the fleet. At the same time, Elizabeth stirred."Your Highness!" James and the royal special forces huddled around Elizabeth. They were overjoyed
Revenge of the Night Chapter 1944 Partnership
"So, you're Vermilion Bird?" James' eyes shone. His respect for her was obvious. He had heard of Vermilion Bird, of course."Good, then let's cut to the chase. Thanks to my lord, we won the battle with Winterosch. It is now our vassal state. He has also slain Ice Emperor on Nineside Peak and scared the Light Nations into submission."We came to Brundela to get rid of the Assad gods. The enemy of my enemy is my friend, as they say. So now you know why we came," finished Vermilion Bird. There was a veiled threat inside.James looked grim. They were trying to force Brundela into a partnership. James said darkly, "We can strike up this partnership, but I don't think you're just trying to partner up with us, are you?"Vermilion Bird didn't even bother arguing. "So what if we aren't? Do you think you have a choice? Faeast is not the same nation you once knew. A hundred years ago, Brundela was the first to attack us and poison our people. You stole so much from us. Our vengeance is justif
Revenge of the Night Chapter 1943 Tea
James then remembered that the princess asked that he give her cyanide. Their intel did say that Nox was a miracle healer, so James quickly let Nox check on Elizabeth.Nox could tell if Elizabeth was poisoned or not right away, and she was not. However, he pretended to check on her anyway. "She's fine. She's just weakened and a little shaken. She should wake up soon."The princess was fine, yet Nox picked her up. James knew what he was doing, but he couldn't do anything about it. The guy blasted a god into nothingness. James prayed that Nox wasn't the same kind of scum these gods were.The rain of bullets came to a stop. With their bullets finished, Ebony Skeleton's members whipped out their knives and pounced at Black Tortoise.These super soldiers were made by the hands of gods, and they were killing machines. However, they were nothing but jokes when their enemy was Black Tortoise. They only felt no pain and didn't fear death when their enemies were people like Brundela's specia
Revenge of the Night Chapter 1942 Talk with James
"Well, that's rude of you. I helped you regain your sanity. You'd have to spend the rest of your lives in an asylum otherwise," Nox joked. Then, he realized these people didn't speak Faeastian.Nox was about to ask Vermilion Bird to translate, but James spoke in fluent Faeastian."Who are you? What do you want to do to Her Highness? She is the princess of Brundela. Are you going to take her as well, Faeastian?""Huh, that's some fluent Faeastian. Wait, I think I've seen you before." Nox realized that the agent looked familiar, and he remembered seeing the guy on TV. "Ah, I've seen you on TV before. You must be the celebrity agent. The movies are based on you, aren't they?"Nox gave him a thumbs up. The adaptations were well done, after all. James let a bit of his guard down. He was about to ask who this guy was. After all, not everyone could scare a god. He wondered if Faeast had gods as well.On closer look, James thought Nox looked familiar. "Wait a minute. I've seen you on TV b
Revenge of the Night Chapter 1941 Clarification
James' screams prompted the princess into action. She was supposed to take her own life, but instead, she grabbed a pistol and came out of the safehouse, firing off at the silhouette. The bullets hurtled toward the enemy but stopped right before they hit him."Ah, the princess of Brundela. As beautiful as they say." The silhouette went past the bullets and approached Elizabeth with a vile idea in mind.A scared Elizabeth was forced to a corner with nowhere to go."Your Highness!" James charged at his enemy, but the silhouette sent him flying away with a flick of his hand. "I came for the princess. Nocturna is waiting for her. You'd better save your strength for the Ebony Skeleton." The enemy laughed.He made his move. Just when Elizabeth was about to fall into enemy hands, a silhouette crashed through the ceiling and landed in the safehouse. The silhouette didn't see the princess anywhere, so he smashed the metal door away and came into the lobby.The god was stunned to be met wit
Revenge of the Night Chapter 1940 The Cavalry
The weapons humanity was proud of were nothing to the enemy. The bullets stopped right in front of the silhouette, rendering them useless. James couldn't accept this, and he screamed in hysteria.At the same time, the thunder rumbled louder, and the rain got heavier. Within this storm, a plane was flying straight toward the Brunhild Manor. Vermilion Bird was the pilot. Black Tortoise was holding a map and acting as co-pilot.Nox was in the cabin, while White Tiger pulled open the cabin door and roared at the sea."Can you shut the fuck up?" Nox was annoyed. White Tiger had been screaming all the way here. This was just a rescue mission. There was no need to be so excited.White Tiger roared in laughter and flexed his pecs at Nox. "Look, milord! Even the heavens fear me!"Nox was speechless. The cabin fell silent, the air colder than before. White Tiger realized he had gone a bit too far, so he kept his mouth shut like a child who had done something wrong.He was about to go back
