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

    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 25 Queenie Is Confident

    Queenie obviously didn't see that smile and continued talking. "Have you heard of Empire Corp? It's owned by Riverton's richest man, Alexander Weeks. He's a multibillionaire. I never thought the day would come when I would have connections with Empire Corp's CEO. He claims he knows me though, and says he could deal with all my problems."She ended with a question. "Don't you think that's weird, Nono?"Nox smiled. "Not exactly.""Not exactly? Do the words 'richest man in Riverton' and 'multibillionaire' mean nothing to you?" Queenie pointed at her mansion. "See this place? If Alexander's wealth gets turned into money, it can fill this whole place up and then some. Do you get it now?"Nox smiled, but he didn't tell Queenie the truth."Forget it. Not like you'll understand anyway. You lost all your memories." Queenie didn't want to waste time explaining. The amnesiac mechanic couldn't possibly understand how much money billions was."Still, it's a happy day for me. I finally got to

    Queenie continued her explanation.Nox said, "But no one in Empire Corp said anything about taking a liking to you."Queenie smiled cunningly. "Oh no, you don't know the half of it. It doesn't matter who took a liking to me. What matters is they came to me. I have no idea why, but neither does my family.""Huh? What are you getting at?"Queenie chuckled mischievously. "Simple. I just need to get a random guy and say he's Alexander's son or relative."Nox thought, 'Wait, you're going to find an impostor and put on an act?' He was speechless."Yeah. Think about it. My family's as confused as I am. No one knows why Empire Corp sought me out, not even my scumbag of an uncle. If I tell them Empire Corp's heir took a liking to me, they would have to take my word for it," Queenie said, intelligence twinkling in her eyes.Nox smiled dryly. He thought, 'She is going the extra mile just to get away from Silas. Even came up with an elaborate plan of getting a fake heir to act things out, b

    Nox thought, 'What? She wants me to be Alex's godson?' He almost exploded in awkwardness. "I don't think that's a good idea," he said."Why not? You're tall and handsome, and you have the perfect air. No one's better for the role than you." Queenie tugged on Nox. "Please, Nono, please? I fished you out of the sea, after all. At least repay my kindness, won't you? Please."Nox watched the pleading Queenie and felt speechless. In his mind, he thought, 'She wants me to pretend I'm Alexander's godson? Dear God. Even if I take the challenge, Alexander won't accept it because it would be too much of an honor for him.'Queenie was still pleading. "Nono, please. Just help me."Seeing Queenie like this, Nox smiled bitterly. "Fine. I'll do this just once. Because you saved me.""Really?""Yes, but just once."Queenie leaped in joy. "Thank you, Nono! You're my savior!" She hugged him tightly.She had a voluptuous body, and Nox could feel her chest against his. It was big.Queenie didn't

    Yet another thing he had to learn was how to act haughty like a bona fide scion. "Listen up, Nono. You're the godson of Riverton's richest man, so you don't have to care what anyone thinks about you. You have to present yourself as a gentleman and as someone with culture. But most importantly, as someone with money."Hearing that, Nox wanted to curse. He used to be the commander of two million soldiers, but now a girl was teaching him how to present himself as someone with culture and money, too!More than two agonizing hours later, Queenie's throat was getting sore. "Did you understand everything I just said?"Nox nodded with a smile."Good. I'm taking you home now." Queenie picked up her bag."Now? I think it's a bit too soon," Nox said."Too soon? I'm getting married to Silas in two days." She yanked Nox away and took him back home. On the way back, she kept telling him to keep up a perfect act. Failure was not acceptable."And talk less. I'll speak up in your place. This is

    In the great hall of the Sanders Residence stood Nox and Queenie. Nox was in an expensive suit, looking like the scion of a big family. Queenie was breathing nervously. She kept telling herself to calm down, while Nox looked at ease."Remember, you're the godson of Alexander, Nono. Don't get spooked. Don't let them expose you."Nox smiled. He wouldn't be spooked by something of this level. It was juvenile.Footsteps approached them. Queenie knew it was her parents coming. She slowly turned around and met her angry parents' gaze. Quickly, she said, "Hey, Dad. Hey, Mom."George ignored his daughter. Instead, he looked at Nox sharply. "Who is he?" He didn't recognize the transformed Nox at first."He's the one who's been with me all this time, Dad."George finally recognized Nox. "You? I recognize you! Who let you bring him back? Have you no shame, Queenie? You're bringing your lover back to our home? One of these days, you'll be the death of me and your mother!" He flew into a rage

    "Don't underestimate my boyfriend, Dad. Do you know why Empire Corp sent its head steward to our house this morning?"George felt something getting stuck in his throat, but he said, "What do you mean?"Queenie answered, "Isn't it obvious? Dad, Mom, to tell you the truth, my boyfriend is Alexander's godson. His name is Nox Greenshade."The news was like a bombshell. George and Yvette were petrified. They couldn't believe Nox was Alexander's godson.When they looked at him once more, Yvette and George didn't know what to say.Nox finally spoke up. "Hey, Mr. and Mrs. Sanders."George remained stunned for nearly twenty seconds while staring at Nox with widened eyes. "A-Are you really Alexander's godson? The godson of the richest man in Riverton?"Nox nodded with a smile. At the same time, far, far away in the resplendent halls of Watercloud Villa, Alexander sneezed. This was not the kind of honor he could take without suffering any repercussions.George couldn't believe his eyes, and Yvett

    "Doesn't matter. I'm going to see their boss anyway, so might as well get the lackeys out of the way." Nox stretched and summoned lightning from the skies to cover himself in Quintuple Lightning. He dashed ahead.He crashed into the formation, and waves of spiritual energy surged. Explosions rattled the air. Nox lashed out with his lightning and cut through the metal puppets. The puppets shattered, leaving only shards and chunks of their bodies behind.Aphrodite sighed. "Shame. If Faeast takes these puppets, we will have nothing to fear." She thought it was a waste to destroy all these puppets."You wish. Only the Ironhands know how to maintain this stuff. None of us are good at contraptions. Well, technically, one family was good at it, but they chose the wrong path and got wiped out. Even if we take all these puppets back, I give it months before they give out. Tops."Also, an army of puppets this big needs a lot of spiritual energy to maintain. We don't have that much in our res

    'They say that brilliant minds can predict their future. Whenever death comes near, people will panic, and that's why they act out. Even when death comes for her, she's still complaing about the lord. She must love him a lot,' Kirin thought quietly, but he said nothing.The founder told her to come for a reason. Even if she had to die, she had to be useful.Nox ordered, "Let's go." Just when everyone was going to make their way toward the empress, Hellensky suddenly went mad. He lost his mind and lunged at Nineve. Nox narrowed his eyes, and spiritual energy danced in his hand.Kirin was faster. He froze Hellensky in place, and the guy couldn't move a muscle. Aphrodite said, "It has begun, just like I expected. The empress has these cultivators' souls under control. She keeps them alive so their descendants could come to her domain. Now that the one she wants is here, she has no use for them anymore."Nox used his optical power to look into Hellensky's body. His soul was devoured, a

    "As you've said, the empress knew I would come sooner or later. She took Grandpa to lure me into her city. I have no choice but to walk into her trap," said Nox. His plan was to take Cassian and go, but then he found out the empress' plan would harm Faeast, so he needed to kill her too.At the same time, the Ironhands offered their help in the fight against the Three-Eyed Clan. Nox declined, "No. They're too powerful, and you can't be of help. One question, though. If I kill the empress and destroy this domain, can you survive?" he asked the leader.The leader didn't answer. He pointed at his metallic body and looked at his people. "Look at us. Do we look alive to you?"Aphrodite snorted. "You know the answer to your question. You know these people are just soulless husks. Even you can't help them. You try your best not to be heartless, but you're the one who's ditching them in the end."Nox noticed the hidden complaint in that retort. "Are you acting up again?" Nox looked at her a

    Voltaic was speechless. "You're getting senile. Did you forget that the Beast Temple also has a leader?"'The leader!' Mufasa froze. He looked at the golden kirin and realized something. The golden lion appeared not because it wanted to fight kirin. On the contrary, it submitted to the golden kirin. Mufasa couldn't believe this. 'What's going on?' he thought."I am the leader of the Beast Temple. How dare a servant like you challenge his master's master? This is a serious transgression!" Kirin's voice echoed across Celestial Domain. For a moment, it felt like Kirin was the true god of the world.Mufasa's mind stopped working, and he went on his knees. He couldn't control his body. "The Beast Temple's leader? Shit, I can't believe I tried to defy him!" His face contorted in rage for himself.The Beast Temple had been nothing but kind to him. Without their protection, the false gods would've killed him. And then, something that shook him to the core happened. Nox ran out of patience,

    Kirin, however, felt insulted that the punch's power was this weak. "You did this to yourself, old man." He headbutted the punch and crushed it without any problem at all."What? Who are you?" Mufasa couldn't believe this. Voltaic seemed to be on edge as well.Kirin flew into the air, and golden Saint power flowed from his body. The energy conjured bones and vessels. It was about a thousand feet tall, dwarfing the golden lion. Then, flesh appeared, and a ball of fire covered it up.A golden kirin was born. Even Nox looked surprised, let alone everyone else. "He created a sacred beast. I can control one, but he did devour one. He is kirin itself," Nox said."Kirin?" Aphrodite did not look happy at all. Now she knew she stood no chance since the beginning. If Nox had summoned Kirin earlier, she and her family would be gone by now. He never called upon Kirin because he never thought she was a worthy enemy."Whoa, what kind of sacred beast is that? Feels stronger than the Generals." Q

    That powerful energy shocked Voltaic, Mufasa, and Kirin. Mufasa gasped. "So that's the Three-Eyed Empress." Even without facing her, her optical power was creeping him out. If they got into a fight, he'd be no match for her.Kirin glared at him. "Dumbass. We've been trying to keep his identity a secret, but you blabbed it all out. We could've done without that!"Mufasa was confused. Faeast's Sovereigns only came once in a long while, perhaps longer than a millennium. It was something that should be spoken of all the time.Nox said solemnly, "She'd find out anyway, but given her reaction, she must be trying to get something out of me."Mufasa didn't care about the matter at hand. Nox's subordinate insulted him, so he wanted to fight Kirin. He wanted to find out why the guy had the scent of sacred beast inside him. "Less talking, more fighting. If you can beat me, you can say whatever you want. If you can't, you don't get to lecture me anymore, no matter what I say!"Mufasa activate

    Voltaic summoned his will-of-the-sword. If his friend were to lose, he would keep Kirin pinned down. Voltaic might be friends with Nox, but that didn't mean he would let Nox's friend do whatever he wanted.Aphrodite shook her head. This was a headache for her. "Cultivators. Arrogant toerags who think they're the heavens' gift to the world. Only power matters. You can be smart, but you'll still have to serve the powerful in the end." She sighed.She refused to serve Nox and tried to control him. Look what that got her into. He saved her life, and now she couldn't even have a say in what she could do with it. Aphrodite knew Mufasa was in for a beating.And she was right. Kirin would not hold back against Mufasa. "What makes you think I should answer you? If you'd become a real sacred beast or control sacred beast essence, I might deign to talk to you, but you're just a servant. You do not get to give me that attitude." Kirin sneered.Mufasa was stunned. 'What? I gave him no attitude

    There was a possibility of Mystians working with the Three-Eyed Clan, but how many was anyone's guess. Nox mused for a moment and said telepathically, "I have a job for you, Voltaic. Find out how many dogs have worked with these people. Kill all of them.""Right now? This is the empress' place. She can't stop me if I want to leave, but I can't do much here either." Though Voltaic was arrogant, he was no fool. He knew the empress couldn't keep him here, but he couldn't do much on her turf either."Don't worry about it. I'll make an opening," said Nox."Fine, but be careful. Don't get yourself killed. There are more important things out there. Don't push yourself if you can't take her down. This is her last chance, and she's waited far too long for you. You, however, have more opportunities out there. I bet she's creating something evil. Dark. Don't walk right into her trap," said Voltaic."I know. I'll keep an eye out." Nox nodded.Mufasa said telepathically, "I sensed the aura of

    Nox scanned the Ironhands with his divine sense, but he felt no aura and couldn't discern their strength, but he could figure out who their leader was. There was a gigantic model within the Ironhands. He was about thirty feet tall and looked like a titan. He was chief among the Ironhands.The gigantic puppet noticed Nox, and he approached him. The titanic puppet bowed. "I am the leader of the Ironhands. Greetings, Nine-State Lord." He spoke Faeastian. Though it was stiff, everyone got what he meant."He speaks our language?" Nineve was stunned. Aphrodite knew about this a long time ago, but now she was sure the Ironhands' leader knew Cassian.Nox cut to the chase, "Where's Cassian? He's my grandfather.""The Three-Eyed Clan took him a few days ago. We're what's left of the Ironhands. I suspect the empress shepherded us here on purpose. She has her eyes on you," said the leader of the Ironhands."Did she, now? Very well. Tell me something I don't know," said Nox.The leader paused
