“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 and tell your master to meet me here tomorrow. Otherwise, I’ll make him regret.”
“Well? What are you waiting for? Scram!” Frostine scolded.
Immensely relieved, the Yggdrasill guards scurried off like rats.
Frostine seemed glad and lowered her head, causing a pleasant scent to waft into Alex’s nose.
From this angle, she would be able to kiss him if she leaned in closer. She smiled and said, “Now that’s more like the old master! The Yggdrasill family is no match for us anyway. If Master were to be here, he could exterminate that entire family with one attack.”
“My dad was that powerful?” Alex froze.
He only remembered William as an ordinary businessman. After some investigating, he only managed to gather information to prove that William was a grandmaster.
Yet, according to what Frostine just said, his father wasn’t nearly as simple as he thought him to be.
‘How many other things are you hiding from me, old man?’
“Did you not know about this? Magistra too, she’s just as powerful,” Frostine said.
‘What?’
“They even want me to go meet him tomorrow?” Shawn was terrified after hearing what his guards said, but he was even angrier than before.
However, one of the higher-ranking members within the family rushed in, clearly panicked. “Master, I just got some news from Treasure Trove! That cripple who’s with Dory killed the niece of one of the Yggdrasill madames and a guard there, yet he managed to walk out scot free!”
“What? How did that happen?”
“Rumors said that the cripple is Venom Widow’s lover. They apparently even had a child together.”
Upon hearing this, the Yggdrasills were so upset that it felt like they swallowed a dead rat. Khloe, especially, couldn’t accept this at all.
‘How could that useless cripple be in a relationship with Venom Widow?’
“Dad, Venom Widow is known to be cruel and sick in the head. I’m worried that woman might barge into our place and attack us whenever she likes!” Dylan frowned.
“Hmph, but we Yggdrasills aren’t to be messed with too! A mere Venom Widow can’t do much anyway!” Shawn smiled coldly.
“… Unless all three thousand shadow guards came and attacked us. But… Would that even be possible? If the Venom Widow has such a messy private life, it’s kind enough for the old Usoro master to not kick her out. So we don’t have to worry. Besides, the cripple was the one who made this demand.”
