"I'm sorry, milord," Jebediah apologized, his head hanging low."Whatever for?" Nox looked at him."I shouldn't have called Joseph, that idiot. Although he made it big here, he's only a lackey in Blathanna Sect. And he insulted you. Damn him," Jebediah said carefully.Unexpectedly, Nox smiled. "I think he's decent.""What? He insulted you, milord! Why would you say that?" Jebediah asked in confusion."If it weren't for him, I couldn't have run into the Flames today. Of course, he's decent," Nox said, still smiling.Jebediah was silent for a moment. "What should we do now, milord?""Now we wait," Nox answered calmly."We're just going to wait?" Jebediah was perplexed."Yes. I came to kill, and our prey will be coming to us themselves."Jebediah had no more questions for now. No one would dare stop Nox if he was on a killing spree. The night drew on. As Nox said, he was waiting for the Curseland Five to come to him. Jebediah stayed by his side as usual.Suddenly, a bellhop k
"Are you talking gibberish or something? I can't understand a thing!" Joseph wondered why Jebediah called that man a 'lord.'Jebediah wasn't going to explain to Joseph, of course. Coolly, he said, "Don't worry about us. We'll deal with this. Is that all? If that's all, you can leave now."Jebediah chasing him away vexed Joseph, but he couldn't do anything. Nox easily killed an Advanced Zen Realm, after all. He reigned in his anger and left in the end.After Jebediah saw him off, he returned to the room. The night turned murkier. Nox had tended to Queenie again and was ready to sleep.All of a sudden, the look in his eyes turned icy. "Get out here."He curled his fingers at the window, and a burst of inner energy galloped ahead. The glass shattered into pieces, and a silhouette darted into the room.She raised her hand, and a black whip lunged at Nox like a viper.Nox snorted. He smacked the air with his right hand, and something thundered. The whip barreled backward."You're st
"Why you…" Nox was dumbstruck."Are you just going to choke me? Ooh, we're close. I know I smell nice. Want to have a whiff? You can do it to me the whole night, you know. Just say the word." Felicia closed in on Nox.Just when her chest was about to touch him, Nox let go of her and backed off."Knew you weren't that kind of guy. You'd never bully a poor, defenseless woman like me." Felicia smiled."There are many poor and defenseless people out there, but you're not one of them, Demoness of Poison." Nox snorted."Oh, you know my name?" Felicia was surprised.Nox snorted again. "Shut it and wear some clothes." He picked up a towel and tossed it at Felicia before turning around.Felicia grabbed the towel and draped it over her chest. She smiled as she said, "You're a good man. Everyone else looks at me like they want to rail me."Nox turned back around and questioned, "Enough with this. Why did you follow me?"A smile lit up Felicia's face. "I told you. It's because you're cute
Coldly, Nox snapped, "Do you have any complaints about that?""I—No, don't take this the wrong way!" Felicia waved her hands quickly. "But at least tell me why you killed them. I need to answer to my sect leader."Nox snorted. "My killings have nothing to do with Blathanna Sect, so there's nothing you need to answer to.""You're going to face the Flames alone? They're a big family, after all. They have a dozen Zen Realm sorcerers, and their members are equally powerful." Felicia's eyes were the size of saucers as she spoke.Nox roared with laughter."What are you laughing at? I was telling the truth." Felicia was confused.Nox turned around. With confidence, he said, "You're right. Not only will I face the Flames alone, but I will also face the whole lot of Curseland Five. From the moment I came, this land is destined to witness bloodshed. I will slaughter Curseland Five with my own hands."Inexplicably, Felicia trembled. Staring at Nox with widened eyes, she felt that he wasn't
In the lobby, many men eyed Felicia lasciviously the moment she appeared. She was a voluptuous woman, after all. Moreover, after Nox tore her clothes apart, she was covered in nothing but a towel, revealing her shoulders and part of her chest. As she walked down the stairs and across the lobby, she caught the eye of all the men going around. Even the bellhops couldn't tear their eyes away."Ms. Felicia!" A dozen supermodel-like ladies ran up to Felicia. They were Blathanna Sect's girls, of course.When a long-haired girl saw that Felicia was only covered with a towel, she asked in surprise, "What happened to your clothes?""That guy tore it off," Felicia said dismissively.The ladies were speechless."Ms. Felicia, did he…" The long-haired girl was startled."I know what you're thinking, girl. No. Nobody can fuck me that easily." Felicia rolled her eyes."So why did he tear your clothes off? And you're only covered in a towel," another girl asked.Felicia sighed. "Because I wa
"So, what next, Ms. Felicia? The guy killed a Flame family elder and an heir in front of us. The Flames aren't just going to twiddle their thumbs. They're going to think the guy works for us. I can feel a war coming," a smart girl said."Sofia's right. We can't clear this up, so I'll have to tell the leader immediately," Felicia said."What about the handsome guy?" Sofia pointed at the hotel.Felicia mulled over it for a moment. "You three stay here. Keep an eye on him, but don't get close to him. And don't cross him, no matter what. He's extremely dangerous.""Got it."Felicia gave the three guards a few pointers before she left. And then, only three Blathanna Sect ladies were left to guard the place.…A pair of stone lions stood in front of the entrance to a manor spanning a thousand acres wide in the southwest. An old door painted in red stood between the lion statues. There was a plaque hanging over the entrance which read, 'The Flames.'This was the Flames' base of operat
Darius smiled eerily. "If it's war you want, then don't stop until you've destroyed all of your enemies. Make sure no traces of Blathanna Sect are left behind, except Selina. They say her beauty rivals that of a goddess. And some claim she's Lord Nox's mistress."Darius licked his lips as he radiated an evil air. "I have to sample a taste of someone like her." Darius had two great interests in his life—life force and women.Though the man was a hundred years old, he had two dozen concubines in his harem, and all of them were young.The elders promised, "Don't worry, clan head. We'll slaughter Blathanna Sect but keep Selina alive.""Good." Darius chortled.A burly, tanned elder growled, "Listen up, Flames. You have a mission. Slaughter Blathanna Sect and leave no survivors.""Yes, sir!"…Nox had no idea a war was coming. Night fell. Feeling hungry, Jebediah came down for supper. He noticed the Blathanna Sect trio standing in the lobby at once."Blathanna Sect. Why are they h
The battle raged on. About more than a handful of the Flames' fighters had died, but the rest pressed on, undeterred."More than twenty of you and only three of them! Useless, all of you!" an old man said. He was gaunt and had an abnormally small head, but his eyes gleamed with an evil gaze.He looked at the fallen fighters coldly and sneered. The old man turned into a blur and leaped into the battlefield. Noticing a black silhouette quickly coming closer amidst the fierce battle in the hall, Sofia shouted, "Look out!"She leaped backward, swinging her daggers. Blasts of energy charged ahead, but they didn't hit the old man. He chortled and spread his palm, from which green needles shot into the air.Shocked, Sofia quickly held her weapons before her, defending herself. The needles were deflected, but one of her comrades was not that lucky. A couple of needles hit her chest, and she spewed black blood.The lady convulsed like a possessed woman before falling to the ground. A momen
