After the call with her friend, Queenie took Nox back to Pearl Residence. She rented this place. Ever since Queenie was a child, her family had always ostracized her. She had moved out of her family's place and got a home of her own when she was rather young."Finally home." Queenie parked her car in front of a mansion after entering the neighborhood and got out.Nox followed her. He looked at the mansion and thought it wasn't half-bad."Listen up, amnesiac. I've never let a man into my house so far, so don't run around, you hear?"Nox nodded with a smile. Queenie picked up her luggage and took Nox back into the mansion. The moment the electronic door swung open, a great big silhouette lunged at Queenie.Alarmed, Nox was going to attack, but Queenie hugged the silhouette. Happily, she said, "Blackshark, I'm back!"The thing Queenie was holding was a black dog—a large one at that, and with sharp teeth manning its maw. No, it was no mere dog. It was a black mastiff. The mastiff rub
Nox stood at the doorway, smiling at the mastiff. The world claimed it was the strongest dog in the world when it came to aggression.The mastiff growled, glaring at Nox darkly. It would pounce on him at any moment, but Nox was unfazed. He narrowed his eyes, and an invisible aura burst forth from his body.This caused the room to shake, and then the big dog started shivering. It slowly backed off as if it was terrified."Don't be scared, little guy. I won't hurt you." Nox approached the terrified mastiff with a smile.The mastiff quickly went down on all fours, shivering. It couldn't even hold its head up. Nox patted its head. "Let's go for a stroll."Just like that, a man and his dog walked out of the room.…Queenie came out of her shower wearing a pink tracksuit. She thought Nox would still be around, but he was nowhere to be found. "Where did he go? Oh God, don't tell me he's run off."Nox lost his memories, and he had just come to this place. Queenie darted out of the hous
A row of burly bodyguards in suits got out of the four cars, following Silas Joshton, heir to Centersea Corporation. He looked at the mansion darkly and told his men, "All of you, stay put."He strode to the door and rang the doorbell. Queenie thought it was her friend who came. "Lar—" Quickly, she opened the door, but what she saw petrified her. It was her fiance instead of her friend standing outside. "S-Silas?" Queenie stuttered.Silas looked at Queenie and sneered. "Surprised to see me, Ms. Sanders?"Queenie had no idea what to say.He continued, "Our wedding is in two days, Ms. Sanders. I'm your fiance. At least invite me into your house."This was awkward. Silas might be her fiance, but Nox was still in her house. She quickly said, "I'd love to, but it's not a great time right now."A dark smile curled Silas' lips. "Not a great time? Are you hiding a lover inside, perhaps?"Silas barged into the house. Queenie tried to stop him, but she didn't have the strength. Silas successfull
Nox held Silas' arm in a vice grip. Inscrutable, he said, "Touch her, and I will kill you.""What did you say?" Silas laughed mirthlessly. "Who the fuck do you think you are? Talk to me like that, an—"He never finished the sentence. Nox flung his arm, and Silas was sent flying back, a stream of blood arcing through the air. He slammed into the door and made a hole in it. Then, he fell with a thud.Queenie was shocked, and so were Silas' bodyguards. The bodyguards quickly snapped out of it and held up their bloodied employer. "Mr. Joshton!"Silas' chin was covered in blood, his face contorted in pain. After he got up, he wiped the blood off his lips and roared, "You bastard! How dare you hit me? Guards, get him! I want that cur dead!"Silas' bodyguards charged into the house, but then bangs and crashes echoed in the air. Barely ten seconds had passed since the bodyguards went into the house, and they were sent flying back out, howling in agony.All of them were injured—they eithe
Once again, Queenie's father misunderstood the whole thing, so Queenie could only try to explain herself. "No, Dad, listen to me. I didn't do—""You're still trying to explain yourself? Do you know no shame? Tell me, then. Who is this man? Why was he at the beach with you, and why is he at your home now?" George pointed at Nox angrily.Queenie had no idea how to explain this."Listen here, girl. Your mother got so mad last night she fainted twice! And because of you, Centersea has cut off all partnerships with us!"If you still want to be part of the family, you're coming home with me. If you stay with this bastard, you'll never be allowed back in the family again!"George stormed off after screaming at Queenie, who was now at a loss. She turned around and looked at Nox, but in the end, she tearfully got ready to leave.Nox finally spoke. "Hold on."The mere voice of Nox fueled the Sanderses' fury, and they swiveled around, their faces contorted with rage.George felt enraged at the si
Everyone in Riverton knew Empire Corp. The owner was the richest man in the city, and he had connections with Zone: Draco. Most of its business was done with the military.A skyscraper with 88 stories stood right in the middle of Riverton, where the hustle and bustle happened. This was Empire Corp's headquarters. Just then, a taxi stopped by the entrance.Someone opened the door, and out came the muscular, majestic Nox. He looked at the building before him and strode ahead. A group of suited guards stood around the outer ring of the building. Due to its business dealings with the military, unauthorized personnel could not enter this place.The moment Nox reached the front door, a guard came up to him. "Hi, unauthorized personnel are not allowed entry. Please leave."Nox looked at the guard. "I'm looking for someone.""You're looking for someone? Sorry, but you can't enter without any appointments," the guard said again.Nox frowned, but he didn't yell at the guard. Of course comp
The man smiled at Annie. "Hello, Miss Annie."Annie approached him. "Where's my father, Mr. Laws?"Ferguson Laws was the head steward for the Weeks family. He smiled. "He's inside, holding a memorial service.""For whom, Mr. Laws? Why did he leave his company unattended for days just to do this?"Ferguson smiled. "Do you really not know, Miss Annie?"Annie shook her head."Do you remember the news a few days ago? About how Lord Nox died in the Ocean of Death?"Annie paused for a moment. She said, "Of course. He alone destroyed the ambition of the invaders from the ten nations and made them sign a ceasefire. Everyone in Faeast knows of him.""Then, you should know that he has fallen in battle, despite his victory against the invaders," Ferguson continued.After a short pause, Annie realized who the memorial service was for. "So, you're saying the memorial service is for Lord Nox?""That is correct." Ferguson nodded with a smile. "You know it was all thanks to Lord Nox that our family ma
Annie had never seen her father look so flustered before. She said, "This belongs to a young man waiting at our company.""Young man? What young man?" Alexander asked again, wasting no time."I don't know. The guard told me he wanted to see you. He said you'd understand everything once you saw this junk."Alexander felt his whole being tremble. Another minute later, he blurted, "Tell me where he is right now.""He's at the company's entrance.""Quick, take me to him!" Alexander charged out of his study like a madman, leaving Annie flabbergasted."What's wrong with Dad? It's just some junk. Why does he look so excited?"…Nox was speechless. He was going to show the token to Alexander himself, but a woman took it away after a bout of misunderstanding. The guard told him that the woman was none other than Alexander's daughter, Annie.Since his token had been taken away and he heard from the guards that Alexander hadn't been coming to the company for days, Nox had no choice but t
