“Scorpion’s behind this too. This time, he specifically ordered me to kidnap Nangong Xu and Nangong Ling. It was also him who planned our retreat and arranged for us to annihilate the Nangong family’s young masters on KYC Island.”
“Is Scorpion male or female? How old is he or she?”
“Scorpion is a man, but I don’t know how old he is because I’ve never seen him before. Our organization relies on unique communication methods to communicate and relay orders.”
“What’s the relationship between Scorpion and Viper?”
Matchmaker was stunned. “You don’t know Viper?”
Zhong Nuannuan frowned. “Should I know her?”
“If… if I didn’t guess wrongly, you… should be Queen, right? The person who… destroyed KE’s headquarters?”
Based on Matchmaker’s response, that meant Nuannuan and her companions had indeed destroyed KE. However, they merely destroyed the headquarters, and there were still KE’s branches somewhere…
This comforted Zhong Nuannuan a little. Ever since she was reborn, whenever she thought of KE, it felt so unsubstantial that she thought she might have joined a fake KE and destroyed the same fake KE.
When Matchmaker saw that Zhong Nuannuan stopped talking, she thought that Nuannuan was angry and was afraid that she would take out that perverted thing to torture her again. Matchmaker quickly explained, “Don’t misunderstand! Actually, ever since I abducted you to the organization 14 years ago and found out how extraordinary your identity was, I’ve been paying attention to you in secret. Since I’m also a member of KE Organization, I occasionally catch wind of news on you. That’s how I find out about how you’ve managed to come out at the top from among thousands of children and even became an overlord in KE. You even killed King.”
Huh, so Zhong Nuannuan did kill murder King. Yet, was she unsuccessful in making sure that he was dead?
Matchmaker’s words sent Zhong Nuannuan, who was already doubting herself, on a whirlwind of mystery.
After her previous life, she suspected that the King they killed was fake. Perhaps the real King had never appeared before.
However, after hearing Matchmaker’s words, she started to think maybe King was indeed the King they were targeting. Perhaps when she blew up the entire cliff, King survived, or perhaps he was reborn in someone else’s body. Then, he had now returned to seek revenge after six years, and he was on point.
“Are you sure King is dead?”
Zhong Nuannuan’s question startled Matchmaker. She asked, “Is—isn’t he?”
Zhong Nuannuan felt that she was a fool to discuss such matters with a lowly member of KE Organization.
“You just asked me if I know Viper? Should I know her? Who is she? Is she that powerful?”
“Viper is Scorpion’s direct superior, and I’ve never met her before. All I know is that she’s very powerful, and she used to be King’s right-hand man. I don’t know what exactly she’s in charge of but bugged people like us are her test subjects.
Matchmaker peered timidly at Zhong Nuannuan and sighed in fear. “I thought that as Queen, who probably share the same status as King, would be very close to Viper. I didn’t expect King to be so protective of you that he had never let you come into contact with Viper.”
Zhong Nuannuan was displeased by Matchmaker’s words.
After all, King was her mortal enemy—the kind of enmity that would only end when one of them was dead. He was someone she had sworn to kill since she was young. Besides, she had no recollection of being on King’s good side. Any form of kindness from King to Zhong Nuannuan would simply be viewed as a sign of weakness because King could no longer restrain her then.
Zhong Nuannuan sneered and said, “Don’t compare me to him. A dead man has no right to be placed on the same pedestal as me.”
At the thought that King and Viper were still alive, a bone-chilling murderousness started to gush out from Zhong Nuannuan involuntarily. Matchmaker was so frightened that she lapsed into silence immediately.
