"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

    George was hesitating. He mused, 'If this man really is Alexander's godson, then Queenie really can find great success. Question is, is he really who he says he is?' George couldn't be sure about that.A long while later, George said, "Mr. Greenshade, worry not. If you and Queenie are really in love, we won't get in your way, but marriage is a big thing. I need some time to think this through. I promise you'll be satisfied."Nox looked at Queenie. Queenie knew she couldn't force her folks to make a decision right now, so she nodded."Please, Mr. Greenshade, have some tea. Queenie, meet me in my study. We need to talk." And he took Queenie away.George closed the door and pulled Queenie aside. "Tell me the truth, Queenie. Is he really the godson of Alexander?"Queenie lied, "Yes.""You're not lying?""No.""Odd. How'd you get in touch with an Empire Corp guy? I never knew about this," asked George curiously.Queenie scratched her head. "W-We met on a dating site.""A dating si

    "There's no way she knows someone that high profile."Hogs answered solemnly, "I share your sentiment, but you saw what happened. I think Alexander does know her.""So, you're saying Queenie hooked up with an Empire Corp guy?" Jezebiah said."I don't know, but if we cross Silas because of her, we're in for a lot of trouble.""That's obvious. We took his money, and we're this close to the contract signing."Hogs looked more displeased than ever. A long while later, he shot up. "Tap into every single connection we have and find out if Alexander does have a godson. As for me, I'm going to Centersea.""To see Silas?" Jezebiah asked.Hogs nodded. "Yes. I don't care if Queenie did hook up with Alexander's godson. Silas must know about this, or we're going to be in big trouble.""Got it. I'll make some calls."…Ever since Queenie started the lie, she sat around, waiting for the outcome of this ordeal. If she could bullshit her way out of this and cancel her marriage with Silas, she

    "But Dad just told me Centersea is a partner of Empire Corp, and the bastard knows Alexander. We can't keep up this act any longer. He's going to find out, and when that happens, we're done for!" Queenie added fearfully. "Why don't you just run, Nono? While you still can."'She wants me to run?' Nox cocked his eyebrow."This isn't your problem in the first place anyway. If he finds out who you really are, you're going to have trouble knocking on your door. Nono, just listen to me and run!" Queenie dragged Nox, attempting to make him leave.Nox did not budge. "I told you, calm down. I'm here, so nothing's going to happen.""What are you two talking about? Queenie?" Queenie's parents came closer.It was awkward for Queenie, but Nox stepped in. "It's nothing, Mr. Sanders. We were just chatting."George grunted, but he said nothing more. Queenie was fidgeting, but Nox was unperturbed. Calm. Almost as if he really was the godson of Riverton's richest man.Queenie's mind was racing. '

    "Just you wait, Queenie. And you too, you bastard. You'll rue the day you crossed me."A moment later, the motorcade came to a stop before the Sanders Residence. Out came a swarm of bodyguards in black. Then Silas, Hogs, and Jezebiah came out. Finally, Raymond made his appearance.Hogs led the way into the residence. "Follow me, Silas. Queenie and her cur of a lover is right inside."Silas tossed his cigar away, his eyes twinkling venomously, and he strode into the residence.Queenie, Nox, and Queenie's parents were in the lobby. Then, a wave of black came in. Queenie's parents shot up from their seats, staring at the Joshton bodyguards in shock.Queenie was watching as well, and she blanched. Nox, however, didn't even spare them a moment of his time. He was quietly finishing his cup of quality tea.A shout echoed in the air. "Get out here right now, Queenie!"Hogs, Jezebiah, and Silas came in. George quickly approached his brother."What's wrong, Hogs?"A sneer curled Hogs' li

    Total, utter panic had settled in Queenie's heart. She saw no way out. This was just an act, to begin with, but she never thought Hogs and Jezebiah would search for Alexander's family tree right away and throw money at their connections to find out if Alexander had a godson.The secret could no longer be contained, and Queenie had no idea what to do.The silence was making George nervous, and he was almost going to pounce. "Tell me the truth, girl! Who is that man?!""If she won't tell you, I will. I've spent a ton of money to get this intel. Unfortunately, Alexander has no godson. He has a daughter, however. Only daughter. And Centersea is one of Empire Corp's business partners. Ask Silas if you don't believe me." Hogs sneered.Yvette and George were petrified, and then Yvette's legs buckled. She plopped to the ground like jelly. George was shivering in rage, his eyes crimson. "He's not Alexander's godson? You and the bastard tricked us? We're your family!"Queenie was tearing up

    "That you'll never be pushed around. That you'll never be used as a chip to bargain. Put your trust in me, and I'll make you the happiest woman in the world. Forever."Queenie was stunned. She thought, 'He just feels so cool all of a sudden. His eyes are shining, and even his face is gleaming. Everything about him just screams, "I'm the king."' Queenie had never had anyone give her that kind of promise before."One last time, Queenie. Do you believe me? Will you take my hand?" Nox asked huskily, and he extended his hand.Queenie stared at his hand, her mind blank. Not a single man had ever given her that kind of promise before. None of them would ever do this for her. She wondered, 'But he's just an amnesiac. He has no idea who he even is. Who is he, really? Is he a good guy or a bad guy?'So many questions, yet so few answers. Still, when she stared into Nox's eyes, she felt secure. Safe. And she was starting to waver.Driven by her impulse and desire to escape her family's oppre

    The bodyguards swung their weapons. A scared Queenie covered her face, but Nox did not even move. A sneer escaped his lips, and he brought his foot down to the ground with a slam.The bluestone tiles were crushed into smithereens.An invisible shockwave undulated across the battlefield, and groans of pain tore through the air as the bodyguards were sent flying. They fell with a sickening thud, none able to get back up.Hogs was in disbelief. 'Is he even human?' he wondered.Even Silas did not look as confident as he was before.Nox stood regally. "Anyone still want some?"Silas came up. "Remember me, punk?"Nox glanced at Silas."You slept with my woman, and now you're taking her away? Do you think I'm that much of a pushover? I'm telling you, you're not leaving this place alive!"He roared, "Raymond!"With a thud, a burly Raymond came forth. He smelled like sickly, metallic blood, and he had the eyes of a leopard, glaring at Nox darkly."My family has kept you for three year

    Raymond's other arm was broken as well. Everything happened in a flash. In mere moments, the once infamous murderer of the northern Tri-State area had his arms broken.Silas felt fear filling him up, and the Sanderses were stunned.Nox continued, "You want my arms and legs? Very well. I broke your arms, so I guess I'm going for your legs next." And he darted ahead, quick as a phantom. No one saw what he did, but they heard something getting crushed. Twice.A silhouette was sent flying like a cannonball, and it fell before Silas. The man was none other than Raymond, though his limbs were all broken. He was howling and screaming in agony.Just like that, the murderer fell, plunged into pain and agony. He was once the best enforcer of Silas' father, but now he was a cripple.Silas did not expect Raymond to be defeated so easily, and he took an involuntary step back.Nox looked at Silas. "Your turn." He slowly approached Silas.Fear was squeezing Silas' soul. "W-What do you want? I'

    "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
