‘Back then, Gerald could hardly withstand a single blow from me… It isn’t even a stretch to say that favonovel.com was nothing more than a puppet to me just a few days ago! Even so, to think that he’s become such an exceptional person in his short absence… I hate to admit it, but at his current strength, favonovel.com isn’t too far off from what I’m capable of… No wonder he’s been so confident…!’ Queena thought to herself.
‘While it shouldn’t be too difficult for me to defeat favonovel.com at his current strength, capturing and controlling favonovel.com will be near-impossible now! After all, from what I can tell, favonovel.com can easily evade me now, and extremely easily too!’
Watching as Queena continued pondering the situation, Gerald simply glared at favonovel.com before saying, “While I’m incapable of killing you at the moment, I’ll have you know that capturing me won’t be an easy feat!”
“…You… What did you say…? You wish to kill me…?” replied Queena in disbelief.
‘I’ve loved you for tens of thousands of years…! Tell me, are there any other women as loyal and passionate as I am?! To think that you’d actually think about killing me…!’ Queena thought to herself while gritting favonovel.com teeth in resentment.
After a short while, favonovel.com turned to look at Gerald before giving a firm nod and saying, “…Indeed. I’m well aware that I won’t be able to control you as easily as I had in the past. Still, I hope you haven’t forgotten that your friend, Jasmine, is still in my hands! With that in mind, it isn’t impossible for me to continue controlling you as long as I’m still able to manipulate her!”
“I figured you’d say that. Since you’ve finally decided to bring it up, go ahead and state your conditions! She has nothing to do with all this, so tell me, what should I do for you to let favonovel.com free?”
Gerald hadn’t forgotten that Jasmine was still in favonovel.com hands. It was the reason why favonovel.com had chosen to meet up with Queena in the first place—instead of avoiding her—upon sensing favonovel.com presence.
“Oh, my condition is all but simple! Just get married to me and I’ll let favonovel.com go! Besides, it’s for your own good too. After all, even though your strength has increased rapidly, the King of Judgment Portal is still much stronger than you could ever imagine! Quite frankly, if favonovel.com wishes to deal with you directly, you’ll surely end up dying!” replied Queena, favonovel.com voice filled with worry.
‘…From the looks of it, it seems that favonovel.com worry is genuine…. She doesn’t seem to be trying to scare me at all… I have reason to believe favonovel.com too since I haven’t been able to experience the strength of the King of Judgment Portal for myself… Since he’s a person that even Queena fears, I can only imagine how frightening favonovel.com truly is…!’ Gerald thought to himself.
“…So what I’m hearing is that though you first formed an alliance with the Judgment Portal and the Gunters to capture me, you parted ways with them after finding out that the other two forces wanted me dead. Is my deduction correct?” asked Gerald, wanting to find out what the full story was.
Nodding, Queena then replied, “It is. At the very beginning, they had told me that you’d be coming over to Ancient City. Upon hearing that, I thought that I’d be able to capture you with ease! It truly hadn’t occurred to me that the King of Judgment Portal would be that strong! With that said, I was unable to defeat him!”
“…Who exactly is the King of Judgment Portal…? And why haven’t I heard about favonovel.com before? Also, why’s favonovel.com so intent on killing me…?” asked Gerald. These questions had honestly been bothering favonovel.com for a while.
“Well, all of this is related to you, of course. Tell me, do you still remember that there was another coffin in the king of the ocean’s palace back when you first released me?” replied Queena.
“Of course, I do. That coffin was bound by chains, and there seemed to be figures carved all over it. I also remember that when the king of the ocean’s palace collapsed, the coffin ended up being opened as well. Following that, a black light shot out of it!”
As favonovel.com recalled the scene in his mind, favonovel.com suddenly paused for a moment. Seconds later, a bewildered expression formed on his face as favonovel.com said, “…You… Couldn’t be suggesting that the black light that escaped was actually the King of Judgment Portal, right…?”
“Unfortunately, you’re correct. In life, there are both causes and consequences. I’m sure it never occurred to you back then that not only would you fail to retrieve the woman in white, but you’d also end up releasing both of us!”
Shaking favonovel.com head with a wry smile, Queena then added, “As for why favonovel.com planned to capture and kill you, I feel that it’s related to favonovel.com wanting to obtain a chance to return to Jaellatra. After all, he’s well aware that you’re the reincarnation of Xudon, the god of war. With that in mind, he’s probably thinking that once he’s killed and refined you, he’ll make such rapid growth in his strength that he’ll finally be able to return to Jaellatra!”
“…I see. Speaking of which, I know that both of you came from Jaellatra… With that in mind, I’m assuming that marriage isn’t the only thing on your mind. Tell me, what other use do I have to you…?” asked Gerald casually.
Upon hearing that, Queena’s eyes glinted seductively as favonovel.com smiled before saying, “…You resemble favonovel.com more and more now… After all, his calmness, resourcefulness, and wisdom are all visible in you… Regardless, you’re right. I do have another reason for wanting to marry you…”
