Infinite wealth In A New World-Chapter 398: I Will Be Waiting
High above the chaos, suspended in the air by a swarm of microscopic, invisible beetles, the Saint of Poison and Insects watched the Golden carriage in the distance. Her emerald eyes narrowed, dissecting the situation with the cold calculation of an apex predator.
"What is a realm Ruler doing in this small world? Something isn't right here." She muttered to herself, sensing a density of energy that defied the laws of the great world. Then, realization struck her like a lightning bolt, connecting the rumors she had heard from the upper realm.
She blinked. "Wait, could it be the newly appointed Ruler? Yes, that must be it."
Everyone below—the traitorous lieutenants and the paralyzed guards—turned their heads to the gate. They watched in breathless silence as the golden carriage came to a smooth stop. The door swung open, and a figure leaped out with athletic grace. It was Jinx, her blue skin shimmering in the sunlight, purple hair cascading down her back, and gray eyes sharp as daggers.
"Oh, what a welcome!" She smirked, staring at the broken form of Zach, then raised her head to the Saint hovering high in the sky.
"A seventh order powerhouse?" The two traitorous men were stunned. Even the guards, who had served the Dragon Lord for centuries, were stunned. The hybrid lady before them radiated the same magnitude of strength as Zach, the Old Dragon, at his peak.
"You call this a welcome, Senior sister?"
Everyone turned their heads to the small, melodic voice. They watched as Ellen stepped down from the carriage. She looked like a porcelain doll, but her purple eyes scanned the scene with a terrifying depth of interest, weighing the souls of everyone present.
"Oh my goodness!!"
"How can she be this young?!"
Everyone took a step back in horror, their instincts screaming at them to flee. They created distance from the little girl as if she were a walking natural disaster.
"Oh... A ninth order powerhouse? And this young... Frightening." The Saint muttered, staring at Ellen. Her insect swarm buzzed with agitation. She saw potential—raw, unrefined, infinite potential.
"Child!"
She said, her voice reverberating all over the place, amplified by the vibration of a thousand wings. "Why don't you join me, and become one of my Subordinates... I will lead you on the path of cultivation. With me, you will have infinite strength." She said, offering a deal she believed no one could refuse.
Ellen slowly raised her head to the lady. There was no fear, only pity. She lightly shook her head in mockery.
"Why would I leave my Dad and follow a weak woman like you? You must be a fool." She said in a calm, innocent tone, a small, sweet smile on her face that didn't reach her eyes.
"You?!" The Saint prepared to unleash a plague of flesh-eating locusts, but she stopped herself, feeling a sudden, crushing gravity emanate from the carriage.
'No doubt! The Ruler is in that carriage. And she called him Dad! Now I understand why she is this strong at such a young age.' The Saint nodded, her survival instincts overriding her pride. She forced a small, polite smile.
"I understand... Realm Ruler, I give my greetings... We will meet again."
She waved her hand, and space behind her tore open, revealing a swirling green gateway.
"I will be waiting."
Sunny finally stepped down from the carriage. He didn't speak loudly, but his voice carried the weight of absolute authority. His Aura instantly filled the whole castle, pressing down on every living being like a physical weight.
The Saint swallowed hard, her throat dry. She nodded, hiding her fear perfectly behind a mask of etiquette.
'He will be waiting? I don't understand, does he know about...' She lowered her gaze to the stolen sword in her hand, then back at Sunny. 'And why isn't he stopping me? With his strength, I shouldn't be able to even move let alone escape. Something isn't right here.'
She moved her gaze around, calculating the risks.
'But this isn't the time and place to dwell on this. I need to leave.' She nodded, and gave Sunny a small, respectful bow.
"Take care, Realm Ruler." She said. She turned and disappeared inside the gateway, which snapped closed afterward, erasing her presence.
Sunny stared at the place the gateway once stood, his golden eyes narrowing slightly. His expression was unreadable, a calm surface over a deep ocean.
"Ok, it seems she ran away." Jinx said, brushing dust off her shoulder, turning her attention to the pathetic figures before them.
"My granddaughters." Zach said with difficulty. The emotion and the poison were too much; his eyes rolled back, and he collapsed on the ground.
The two girls simply stared at him. There was no rush to his side, no tears. They stood like statues, their resentment forming a cold wall between them and their kin. The two raised their heads to the guards and the two treacherous men, who started moving backwards in fear, realizing their patron Saint had abandoned them.
Jinx and Ellen started walking toward the Lord. Sunny followed silently behind the two, a silent guardian. With each step they took, the men took three steps backward, their heels catching on the rubble.
The two girls stopped in front of the Old Dragon, staring down at him. Their faces were unreadable masks. Sunny stood five feet behind, staring at them, letting them handle their family business.
"What should we do now? These two are too powerful!" One of the men whispered, sweat pouring down his face.
"I don't care about those two! But him." The second stared at Sunny, trembling.
"His presence alone is so overwhelming. Not to mention the master ran away upon seeing him..."
"So what should we do?"
"I don't know, maybe we should use what the master gave us."
The man turned to the second with a slight frown. "You mean use the needles on ourselves?"
"That is the only situation." The second man nodded, his eyes wild with desperation. He yelled:
"Guards! Surround us!!"
