“Uhm—”Alex looked at Frostine. “They’re here for me. I killed them.”Frostine huffed coldly. “You just killed Lily. What’s the big deal about that? Ugh, my sixth sister-in-law had always been rude and insolent. I’ve been waiting to teach her a lesson for ages. Come on. I’ll stand up for you.”“I can…”“Don’t be scared. I’ve got your back.”“I’m not…”“Exactly! That’s the spirit, good boy!”The woman held Bubbles in her arms and gave Alex a sloppy kiss on his cheek, leaving some saliva on it as well. After that, she grabbed his wheelchair with one hand and went downstairs.At the time, everyone was crowding up once more, watching the sixth madame of the Usoro family, who was also Lily’s aunt. They gossiped among themselves—“The killer has been captured by the Fifth Lady! She brought him upstairs. I’m guessing he’s dead at this point!”“Ah, I pity him. Venom Widow must be experimenting on him!”“I really want to see how she carries out her experiments, you know? Could it be
Anais’ face turned pale. “Fifth sister, he… he killed my niece, yet you still want me to kneel?”Frostine released her aura. “Are you not willing to? Then I don’t mind…”Before she could finish her sentence, Anais knelt down immediately.***Alex didn’t feel much about what was happening before him.This was mainly because he didn’t relate to this city one bit, let alone its people.He was very surprised to learn that Frotine used to be his father’s disciple. It was a pity that she didn’t know of his whereabouts. Yet, now… he just wanted to bring his daughter back and let her sleep after feeding her.“Dory!” Alex called out to his servant.Although she had fainted, she felt as if her soul quivered. It woke her up, and she crawled back to her feet immediately.“Mister…”“Ah, Mister! You’re alright?” She was confused after just regaining consciousness.Her mind even went blank after seeing Anais kneeling before them. She recognized Lily’s aunt since she had been abusing her
“Ah—”“Venom Widow?!!”Once the guard recognized Frostine’s face, he started shaking and almost peed his pants.‘How… How's this possible? Why is this she-devil here?’“You! Go to that corner and kill yourself,” Frostine growled to the guard coldly. “I don’t want to kill anyone in front of our family’s child.”The guard’s heart dropped, his face turning even paler than before. He didn’t want his life to end like this.However, he knew that his entire family would be destroyed if he didn’t listen to the cruel Venom Widow.He had his parents, wife, and kids too.In the end, he clenched his teeth and actually went to the corner of the street and stabbed himself in the heart. Before taking this last breath, he whispered in a frail and shaky voice, “Fifth Lady, please… spare my family!”The other guards trembled with fear, unable to speak.This wasn’t what they had initially been expected.Alex took a glance at the leader’s corpse in the corner and turned to the others. “Go back
After a short pause, Shawn continued, “Looks like it’s going to be quite hard to capture that cripple, though… We have to think of another way.”Shawn completely ignored Alex’s words. He simply couldn’t bring himself to obey a cripple’s demands, especially with his current status.If this incident spread to the public, everyone would most definitely laugh at him.***The night went by fairly quickly as Frostine stayed in Alex’s room the whole while.Since the two were quite powerful, staying up a few nights straight wouldn’t be a problem for them.Alex asked her a truckload of questions, finally understanding some of Frostine’s past.Before meeting William, her Nine Tails bloodline wasn’t activated yet, nor was she nearly as powerful as she was now. She was actually very frail back then. When William met her, she was being bullied by some of the rich guys within Starborn City. She was nearly gang-raped as well, but it was fortunate that William managed to save her in time.He
The Yggdrasills were currently celebrating Shawn’s wife’s birthday.The family had some status within the city. Moreover, one of their daughters had been accepted as a Plenilune Sect disciple, who was in charge of the area. Hence, with this, the Yggdrasills surpassed their reputation.In the morning, nobles within the city arrived to give their felicitations. Then, even more people came at noon.Traditionally, celebrations here were normally held during noon, so most guests arrived during this time.“The head of the Ganji family has arrived, bearing a gift of three million spiritual stones, wishing the old madame wonderful health and longevity!”“The Crystal Smiths has arrived with a ten-thousand-year-old reishi!”“The Divine Larcenist clan has arrived with ancient royal apparel!”As more powerful figures arrived, the atmosphere in the Yggdrasills home was vivacious. The guests that attended this celebration were of higher status than those who attended Shawn’s birthday last yea
Standing in front of the Shadow Guards was a gorgeous and foxy woman. It was the Venom Widow, Frostine Usoro.‘The Venom Widow actually called for the three thousand Shadow Guards to wreck my family, just for a mere cripple??’Dylan felt his entire body tense up as his mind went blank.This was just too unreal. ‘Venom Widow is known to be a madwoman, but has Abtal Usoro gone mad too?’***After seeing the pitch-black Shadow Guards at the door, everyone in the Yggdrasill manor panicked.‘Oh my god, this is bad!’‘By the looks of it, Venom Widow is going to dismantle the Yggdrasill family!’As the saying went, every man for himself. The guests weren’t fools to just sit there and wait for their demise.Someone immediately jumped up. “Oh uhm, I just remembered that my wife is going into labor! I have to go home now!”After taking a few steps, he seemed to remember something.Rushing towards the gift section, he picked up a square-shaped box. “Mr. Yggdrasill, I’ll come by and w
Smack!Frostine slapped Khloe across the face, causing the veil over her face to fly off.It instantly revealed a… face full of scars. It was a horrifying sight.Khloe was still very conscious about her scarred face, a permanent thorn within her heart. Hence, she wore a veil that posed as a shield to protect her heart.Now that her face was exposed, that shield had been destroyed.She screamed in horror and covered her face with both hands, seemingly traumatized.However, Frostine let out a cold huff. “Khloe Yggdrasill, remember how you’re a cripple before you insult others. Look at your face... it’s astronomically hideous. Even the ugliest person on the Earth would barf when they look at you. Yet you still run about Starborn City without a care in the world. Are you trying to disgust people on purpose?”Khloe was so mad that she could feel her organs burning from within, so mad she almost vomited a mouthful of blood.“I just think you’re quite a powerful figure within the city
He jumped up, took a limit-breaking pill out of his storage ring, and handed it to Frostine. “This is the limit-breaking pill. I’m returning it to you people. I don’t want it anymore.”“Don’t want it?” Frostine chuckled coldly. “You can’t change your mind in the middle of a trade. Besides, you guys have taken the pill for quite some time. Who knows if you switched it out? Sorry, but we’ll be continuing with the trade. Shadow Guards, perform your task.”“Understood!”Frostine, on the other hand, didn’t leave but skipped her way upstairs.“Brother, brother! Come over here and let me take a look at your legs!”Seeing that Alex was sitting at the side of the bed, Frostine squatted down and lifted both his legs up to her face, checking it thoroughly. She looked genuinely thrilled, as if she found something she lost.“It’s real. It’s actual legs! This is exceptionally magical! But don’t you have to be at the immortalization stage to regrow limbs?”Since Alex had the divine eye, he was
