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 Frostine 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 power in Starborn City after marrying into the Usoro family and getting on her high horse.
‘Even so, this woman is kneeling before Alex?’
‘Oh my god!’
‘What happened?’
Just then, Alex spoke up. “Sister, I’ll be heading back now. You don’t have to send me off. Dory’s help is more than enough.”
‘Uhm…’
Everyone’s eyes lit up. They still seemed appalled.
‘This cripple is Venom Widow’s brother?’
Frostine took a glance at Dory and frowned. “Isn’t she the maid that used to serve Khloe Yggdrasill? Hmph, the Yggdrasills are known to be selfish, so Khloe is no better. I simply can’t let you go home alone, brother. So come along now!”
The leader was enraged. “Hey b*tch! Are you mute? Go along now, or you’ll be paying with your life!”
Alex calmly stared back at the guard. “Why is your master looking for me?”
“You’ll see when you get there.”
“And what if I don’t want to go?”
“That’s not up to you to decide.”
“Well, aren’t you full of sh*t!” Frostine, who was extremely protective, spoke up.
“You dare to yell at me? You’re just a lowly servant! Kneel before me or die!” The guard was fuming at this rate.
Since it was at night and the area had very few street lights, he couldn’t see Frostine’s face clearly.
“Kneel? Even Shawn Yggdrasill wouldn’t dare talk to me in this way!”
Venom Widow lifted her head and stared back at the guard frostily.
