‘This voice… It’s the Undead Queen, Juvia!’ Alex was shocked. He didn’t expect this queen to show up at such a place.
He was even more surprised that she knew his name. He remembered that the Great Genbu didn’t mention his name at all the last time they met.
‘So, how did she find out?’
“You’re the Undead Queen, Juvia. How do you know my name?”
“Is it that hard to know your name?” The Undead Queen spoke. She was taking the form of a gorgeous woman hence her voice naturally changed to suit her appearance as well. Despite this, she maintained her own voice, which was quite a skill. “Not only do I know your name, I know a lot about you too.”
Alex chuckled coldly.
“What? You don’t believe me?” She asked.
“Indeed, I don’t.”
“Fine, let me tell you some of the information I acquired. You have a daughter living here, Bubbles… Right? Heh, what an odd name.”
Alex scoffed. “Is every Undead person the same as you?”
Juvia asked, “What do you mean?”
Alex retorted, “Are they as daft as you are?”
Juvia visibly froze, then cackled loudly. “It’s been so many years, yet I have never had anyone describe me with that adjective! You are the first to do so! Do you really think I only know such superficial information about you? Do you think I obtained your background from these useless mermaids?”
“Did you not?”
Juvia laughed, then proceeded to speak slowly. “Alex Rockefeller, child of Brittany and William Rockefeller. You have a wife, Dorothy Assex, who gave birth to your quadruplets, Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter.”
“Your other daughter, Bubbles, is your love child with another woman named Daya Stoermer…”
As Juvia continued to list out such information, Alex felt his entire body shudder.
The Undead Queen said, “Correct.”
Alex grinned slyly. “I don’t like being beneath, though. I’d like to be on top of you.”
The Undead Queen huffed. “What big talk, but can you really handle that?”
“Probably. When I saw you last, you weren’t exactly that big. Two hands would definitely be enough to handle you.”
The Undead Queen fell silent. She was talking about status, yet Alex was talking about certain positions. He was literally insulting her on purpose, verbally harassing her even. She raised her voice suddenly. “Would you believe me when I say that I am capable of killing your wife and children, as long as I think about it?”
Alex didn’t respond again.
The Undead Queen continued, “But I am willing to give you a chance. Be a legend by joining our clan, and I won’t harm any of your friends and family.”
“Besides, I can soon show you a truly powerful world and the universe. Compared to that, your universe is just too weak. You have two choices now, so which will you choose?”
