Semua Bab Revenge of the Night: Bab 351 - Bab 360

The moment Keith and his little troop stepped into the mountain, Jebediah felt the formation move. "Goddammit, who is it this time?" A frown furrowed his brows, and he looked at the fog.Then, an explosion shattered the air. The fog barreled back in every direction. "I'll be damned. Someone broke through the lord's formation. This I'd like to see."Jebediah's face twitched, and he leaped down the mountain path. Alexander, Faye, and everyone else were curious about the explosion. They wondered, 'Who's that? They just destroyed Mr. Greenshade's formation.'Keith trekked up the path like a warrior going through battle. Every time the fog tried to roll in, Keith would punch it away.A moment later, Jebediah roared, "Who dares intrude?""It's me," said Keith."Commander Moon?" Jebediah was speechless. "I am so sorry, commander. I didn't realize it was you," Jebediah quickly apologized.Keith didn't really mind the attitude. Jebediah was Nox's lackey, after all. "Where's the lord?""

It was a surprising scene for Nox. Keith and Alexander were not out of the ordinary, but Riverton's leaders and Sovereign's Society were. Nox scanned all his guests. "We have a big turnout, I see."Jebediah answered, "Apologies, milord. I let them in. Apparently, they're here for a visit.""Is that so?""Yes." Jebediah turned to Alexander and Keith.Keith went over to Nox. "Milord, the politicians wouldn't stop bugging me, so…" Keith pointed at the Riverton leaders. Nox turned his sights to William and his colleagues."Do you remember me, sir?" William stepped forth. "I'm William Langdon, the governor of this city. This one's the Head of Appointments, and this is the Chief of Press and Communications. We were trapped in Riverton Prison during the assault, but you saved us."The Head of Appointments and Chief of Press and Communications greeted him as well.Nox smiled. "Pleasure to meet you, Mr. Langdon.""The pleasure is all mine. I did promise a proper offer of gratitude, henc

George finally relented. He thought he was on top of the world only because no one in his family would take him down a peg or two. Not even Nox would do this to him. Thalia, however, would never hold back. George thought this was unfair and mortifying."Can't believe you insulted Greenie. Trash like you should know your place, and I'm the perfect girl for the job." Thalia grinned, but that was the sign that another nightmare would come for George.While Thalia was having fun torturing George, Nox was dealing with his guests. It was then he noticed the little commotion in the backyard."What's with the backyard?" Nox asked.Jebediah smacked his head. He had forgotten about George. "The snob barged into the estate, so I took him prisoner, milord.""The sno— Queenie's dad?" Nox frowned."Yep, it's that donkey."Nox was dumbstruck for a moment. "Lead the way." He stood up."Yes, of course."Screams of agony tore through the air as Thalia abused George in her room. Then, the door c

"What's happening here? Why're they bowing to him?" George was flabbergasted. This was his worst nightmare.Alexander finally could speak his mind. "Sanders, the lord has forgiven your insults time and again, but you spat in his hand. If he hadn't taken a liking to your daughter, I wouldn't even give a moment of my time to you!""Mr. Weeks!" George couldn't believe what he was hearing."It's all thanks to the lord your family still lives. You're nothing without him," said Alexander. "And he bailed you out of the Joshtons' revenge. You ignored that and insulted him incessantly. That's unforgivable."Every word pierced George's soul, and he slumped. 'What is going on? The richest man in Riverton just called Nox his lord. And Nox helped us? He bailed us out of that crisis?'William chimed in, "My sentiments exactly. You're an embarrassment to this city. Insulting a hero of the city? Unthinkable. It's an honor having him with us."George was quaking in fear. As if Alexander wasn't en

"Dad, what happened? Who did this to you?" Queenie had a lot of complaints about her father, but she was still worried about him.George grabbed Queenie's arm. "Queenie, I'm sorry. I'm sorry." He broke into sobs again.'Huh? Did he just say sorry? Why? Oh no, Dad's gone mental!' Queenie couldn't believe her father would apologize."Dad, say something. What happened? Who did this to you?" Queenie quickly asked.George wasn't about to tell her. He was too terrified to. If he said a word about the encounter, Nox would kill him. "No more questions, Queenie. I'm fine. Just cleared my mind and realized I've been mistaken all along. From now on, you can date whoever you want. I won't butt in! Your relationship is yours."George started crying again. Yvette and Queenie found it confusing. After all, they didn't think that George, who was usually demanding at home, would change so drastically. The fact that he promised Queenie she could date anyone gave her the clue she needed.She wasn't
