The moment Lorelei's voice echoed, Thalia smirked, and she retreated. "You're done for. Lorelei will kill you for what you tried to do to me!"Everyone was grim."Who goes there?""Come out here!"There was no one around. Just when the guards wondered what they should do, a crone appeared before Thalia. Everyone pointed their rifles at her."Who are you? Why are you stopping us?"Lorelei didn't even look at the armed forces. She patted Thalia. "Stay back, girl. I'll deal with these pests."Thalia nodded and moved away. Lorelei then turned around and scanned the armed guards. She approached them."Freeze!""One more step, and we'll open fire!"The soldiers held up their rifles against Lorelei, but the crone didn't even dodge. She licked her lips and challenged darkly, "Open fire, then."Furious, a guard said, "Open fire!"The soldiers fired off incessantly, but before the bullets could hit Lorelei, she vanished. The bullets flew through the air, but Lorelei was nowhere to be

At the same time, a silhouette appeared at the base of the mountain. The man was in a yellow robe, and he had beady eyes. He was none other than Jebediah White.Nox almost killed him, but Jebediah surrendered, and Nox brought him under his control with his Death Seal. At this moment, Jebediah was staring at the fog-covered Dragoncourt in hesitation. He wondered if he should see Nox.A long, long time later, he gnashed his teeth. "Alright, let's do this." Jebediah entered Dragoncourt.The moment Jebediah stepped into the fog, Nox was notified of his presence. The look in his eyes grew cold, and he flew up into the air.Jebediah was but an Attuned Realm sorcerer. He was trapped in the formation the moment he stepped into it. Eventually, he was led in circles and breathing raggedly.A voice asked icily, "You insect. How dare you breach my formation?"Scared, Jebediah felt his legs go limp and plopped on the ground. "Have mercy! It's me!"The voice was familiar. Nox waved his hand,

Nox looked at the book and smiled. Jebediah handed Kingdom's Ranking to him. "Look. This is the Heavenly Ranking and Earthly Ranking of Faeast's strongest in the last hundred years."Nox took the book and flipped it open. The first page read 'Heavenly Ranking Top Ten Martial Artists.' Under that was a name. It read 'Lord Nox.'Nox then flipped to the top ten of Earthly Ranking. The first page still read 'Lord Nox.'When Kingdom's Ranking was announced, Nox took the top spots in martial arts and sorcery as Lord Nox. Such remarkable feat had never been achieved by anyone else but him.Seeing this ranking again made Nox lament the past. Jebediah, however, had no idea Nox was the one and only Lord Nox. Like all people of Faeast, he thought Nox had died in the Ocean of Death.Jebediah said, "Sir, that's Lord Nox, once the top man of Faeast. He's always been the strongest in sorcery and martial arts. Even our patriarch said Lord Nox's power outstripped anyone in the last hundred years."

"Let's not talk about that. It's my day off. Let's go shopping," Queenie changed the subject.Nox grunted, and Queenie drove them to the city center. They went on dates and had lunch like a couple. Queenie then asked Nox to go shopping with her. They held hands and made their way to Universal Shopping Center.The shopping center was located in the busiest business district in Riverton, and it was home to all things branded—Gucci, Chanel, LV, you name it. The young couple walked down the street holding hands and went by a Prada fashion store.Queenie wanted to check out the Prada store, and Nox agreed. They came to the entrance, where a young sales assistant stood at the doorstep.He was a fresh college graduate. He seemed rather shy but was polite. He served Nox and Queenie enthusiastically the moment they came in. "Hello, this is our shop's new arrival. Take a look. If you love it, you can try it out in the fitting room.""Thank you," Queenie said, and she started picking some cl

A loud, clear smack echoed in the air. Vanessa was slapped.Silence fell over the store.No one expected Nox to slap Vanessa out of nowhere, not even Vanessa herself. Vanessa held her cheek in pain, and a moment later, she snapped out of it and screamed, "Did you just hit me?"The portly woman shouted, "You bastard! You hit Ms. Gunther? Do you know who she is? Sh—"Another slap rang through the air, and the portly owner's teeth flew out before she fell down with a thud. Everyone was stunned."Brandon, he hit me! He actually hit me!" Vanessa clutched her swollen cheek, crying to her lover. "You have to teach him a lesson today! Make him pay for this!"Brandon was caught by surprise as well, and he looked at Nox coldly. "You're bold, punk. No one hits my woman. Get down on your knees and apologize, or you're not leaving today."Nox smiled. "And you're going to stop me yourself?""Yes, myself." Brandon stepped ahead. "Do you know who I am?"Nox chuckled. "Why don't you spell it o
