The needle penetrated deep into his skull, skilfully avoiding his central nervous system. It pierced right into the head of a bug.
Being stabbed by the silver needle, the bug could no longer move and was killed.
With the protection of the bugs, even if Walker was injured, he would not feel any pain. However, his power was now dying alongside this bug. Thus, he instantly felt an intense pain from the needle in his head and from the injury Chi Yang had given him just two days ago.
He woke up, screaming.
Before he even opened his eyes, he cursed. “Fuck!”
“You’re awake?” Nangong Nuannuan asked Walker from above.
When he opened his eyes, he was staring straight into Nangong Nuannuan’s clear ones. As he looked into them from below, he sensed the cold gaze behind them—striking dread in his heart.
She was an extremely beautiful woman.
He had never been lucky enough to see her true face before.
She had always been either wearing a mask that only exposed her eyes or had been completely in disguise. Walker was perceptive enough to be able to recognize people at just a glance.
Could it be?
How could it be?!
“W-who are you?”
There was a deep fear in his voice.
Nangong Nuannuan smiled indifferently. “Who do you think? Don’t you recognize me?”
Walker’s eyes were about to pop out of their sockets. Only when he stood up and walked towards her to see her in full light did he freeze.
Walker looked intently at the woman in front of him. His eyes were filled with disbelief and fear. He muttered, “How is this possible? How is this possible…”
“Nothing is impossible. It’s just like how King is said to have been killed by me, but he’s not dead yet, is he? Tell me, where is Viper? Where is King? Did that woman, Viper, plan out thisentire incident?”
“Are you really Queen?” The man looked at Nangong Nuannuan in shock and disbelief.
“You dare send your people to the Emperor District to murder me, but you don’t even know who I am? Let me tell you who I am, then. I am Nangong Nuannuan.”
Walker’s pupils constricted when he heard the name ‘Nangong Nuannuan’.
Nangong Nuannuan, the daughter of the Nangong family, a first-rate noble family in Camino, was Queen? The woman whose name made mercenaries shake in their boots?
The person whom he had been fighting all this time was actually Queen?
At this moment, Walker felt deceived.
Deceived by a poisonous snake!
Looking at the shocked Walker, Nangong Nuannuan said, “I have already removed the bugs from your brain. If you have any information, you can say it now with ease. If you don’t, you’ll go from being the Viper’s guinea pig to being mine.”
Walker was left in disbelief. “Impossible! The bugs in my brain will live and die with me. If I say something I shouldn’t say, they will kill me–so why should I say it?”
“You don’t believe me? Even your Viper looked for me to develop an antidote when she couldn’t. You don’t think I can kill the bugs in your brain? Even if you don’t believe me, your body should be telling you the truth! Don’t you realize that every part of you is in pain right now?”
Seeing that Walker could only stare back at her with dead eyes, Nangong Nuannuan said, “Big Brother Chi Yang, he doesn’t believe me. Go and fetch some of the medicines I gave you before this. Once he tries my medicine, he will know that I’m telling the truth.”
