Standing in front of the Shadow Guards was a gorgeous and foxy woman. It was the Venom Widow,
Frostine Usoro.
âThe Venom Widow actually called for the three thousand Shadow Guards to wreck my family, just for a
mere cripple??â
Dylan felt his entire body tense up as his mind went blank. This was just too unreal.
âVenom Widow is known to be a madwoman, but has Abtal Usoro gone mad too?â

After seeing the pitch-black Shadow Guards at the door, everyone in the Yggdrasill manor panicked.
âOh my god, this is bad!â
âBy the looks of it, Venom Widow is going to dismantle the Yggdrasill family!â
As the saying went, every man for himself. The guests werenât fools to just sit there and wait for their
demise. Someone immediately jumped up. âOh uhm, I just remembered that my wife is going into labor!
I have to go home now!â
After taking a few steps, he seemed to remember something.
Rushing towards the gift section, he picked up a square shaped box. âMr. Yggdrasill, Iâll come by and
wish your wife some other day⦠Uhm, I hope I have the chance to do so again.â
He then rushed off without turning back.
As he ran out of the door, he even took a glance at the Shadow Guards nervously. Seeing that they
werenât doing anything yet, he let out a long sigh of relief.
The man then watched as the other guests rushed out of the manor without caring any less. Most of
them took back their gifts as well, panicking, as they ran for their lives.
Since the Yggdrasills were about to be destroyed by Venom Widow, itâd be foolish to keep giving them
gifts. Money didnât grow on trees, thus, they figured that itâd be better if they just save the gifts for
themselves.
The Yggdrasills were most definitely the ones who were shocked to their cores.
As Khloe walked towards the door, she couldnât believe that the infamous Shadow Guards was in front
of her. She remembered just how weak and useless Alex looked like a cripple, so she just couldnât view
him as Frostineâs lover no matter how she tried.
Even now, she still didnât think that this man had the status or power to talk to her on the same level.
Last time, when she saved him, she looked at him with utter disgust and disdain. She merely took it as
rescuing a stray.
Yet now⦠She thought that this was just simply ridiculous.
âMiss Usoro, might I ask what youâre here for?â Shawn asked as he stared at Frostineâs chilly
expression. He was that close to exploding with anger.
âThis is clearly a complete insult to the Yggdrasill family!â
Frostine chuckled lightly. âOh, Shawn Yggdrasill, you have quite a bad memory. My little brother is still
waiting to have a talk with you. Youâve made him wait for nearly half a day. Iâm even getting impatient
myself!â
Shawnâs face twitched. âMiss Usoro, look just how busy I am today, so I canât meet him for now!â
Frostine scoffed coldly, her expression changing immediately.
âCapture them!â
âUnderstood!â
The Shadow Guards yelled in sync as they barged into the manor.
Boom!

âMister, who⦠Who are you, really? Why⦠Did you suddenly become Miss Usoroâs brother?â Dory
stared at Alex as she finally asked about this confusing matter.
Alex was currently bottle feeding his daughter and decided to not answer properly. âI wonât be staying in
this city for long, and I donât plan on buying this house either. Iâll return it to you in a few days. As for
who I really am, thatâs not all that important. You can just treat me like a tourist.â
Just then, he sensed something.
âThe Lord of the Yggdrasill family is here!â
Shawnâs limbs had been tied up behind his back. Khloe too.
âBrother, I brought them to you!â
Thud, thud!
With the help of the Shadow Guards, Shawn and Khloe were forced to kneel before Alex at the same
time. Shawn didnât say anything, but he had a hateful expression plastered across his face.
Khloe, on the other hand, was so humiliated that her face flushed red. She pointed at Alex and yelled,
âFrostine Usoro, I donât understand! Why would you summon the three thousand Shadow Guards for
this cripple? Going against us for a mere nobody? What does he even have to offer? Your taste in men
canât be that bad, can it?â
