No matter where the Ice Queen went, she can still hear heart piercing scream from Mark resounding throughout the mansion. She was completely satisfied of what treatment that mysterious man gave to Mark. She can't think anything of much more excruciating torture than what that mysterious man did. She felt a slight connection with that mysterious man, since the man took the work of torturing man, she immediately knew what she must done. To confront CEO Phillip and threatened him not to implicate them in the future for both of them prefer laying low.

The Queen arrived at the CEO bedroom, it looks like he wasn't aware of anything happening in his very own mansion. 'Dont tell me? It was that mans doing?' She amusingly thought.

She quietly opened the door to the point not a single thing could be heard. She went inside but was still hiding in the shadow, now she know why the CEO wasn't aware of the commotion, when she was still outside she can still hear the peircing scream of Mark but the moment she stepped in, it feels like she was isolated from the outside world, not a single sound could be heard

She saw CEO Phillip inside working busily with his handful of documents. His face looks so serious and had a hint of charm, his face even look young even though he's already 35 years old, if other people saw this side of the CEO they might find him handsome and charming. Yet when the Queen observed him quietly, she noticed that there wasn't any resemblance to him and his son Mark at all.

"Good evening Mr. CEO." When CEO heard this he jumped out of his seat, he almost threw all of his papers in the air.

"What the hell?!" Phillip loudly exclaimed, he looked at the woman in front of him, his eyes filled with caution but mostly confusion. He was quite surprised by the womans beauty in front of him. Although he met gorgeous and sexy girls before, they are nothing conpared to this person in front of him is on another level.

Even though he was admiring the woman in front of him, his eyes contain no hint of lust and malice. His eyes pure and his aura proud yet dignified, imposing yet noble.

What the Queen saw this time was completely different to his son Mark. Her eyesbrows shot up as she found all of this interesting. If she didn't know before, she would surely thought that this Man and Mark has no relationship at all!

Phillip's head started to configurate, he knew that the person in front of him was no ordinary woman, since she can completely bypass all of the security here. And what's more, having all this skills and abilities yet look so young, probably 17 or 18, Phillip was shocked because the people he knew who were very strong are no younger than 30. All the hired security and bodyguards were all jade rank warriors, the top of their ranks. He regained his composure because he knew that this woman before him can kill him with just a single wave of her palm.

He completely knew, because the aura she emitting right now was the same as 'that' person. So he need to act politely and never offend this woman in the slightest.

Disregarding all the mess he made, he politely asked. "May I know this graceful lady's name?" He lightly bowed with his right hand on his chest. He looked very noble right now.

The woman hesitated for a bit then decided a name. "Just call me Queen."

What a name! Phillio secretly exclaimed, the moment she said her name, it feels like she was truly a Queen, an Ice Queen, no not just Queen but an Empress, an Ice Empress!

"I guess that this Lady's visit today is due to my son's misbehavior?" Phillip politely ask. Although he sound calm, he was truly afraid inside, if his son offended this kind of woman, he can already imagine what his life will be in the future. Bakruptcy and poverty. Even if this woman before him doesn't have any background, in regards of her strength, she can truly uproot his company upside down if she tried enough. He himself knows that strength rule over this world. Even though most people thinks that having money can rule the world, it was only for ordinary people, he was different, he knew more things than the CEO of some big companies out there. Especially 'that' person who keeps visit him every few month.

"Your son heavily insult me with lust. Even his life is not enough to compensate such offense." Queens slowly spat out each word, carrying a hint of coldness that can pierce through skin.

Phillip back was drenched in sweat. That bastard son of his, offending such figure. Thinking all kinds of solutions, he can only arrive in to one. That is to throw his pride away and beg for forgiveness.

Phillip immediately did that, banged his head on the smooth wooden floor and sincerely said

"I sincerely apologize in behalf of my adopted son. Even though he is not my son, I consider him as one of my own. Please give him some leeway and I'll promise you, after he all this he will turn into a new leaf." Phillip heavily said, he banged his head on the ground at every sentences. The truth was the opposite, he didn't care for such scum but he also can't afford to offend 'that' person. He was aware of the inhumane activities that scum did every now and then. He always wanted someone to get rid of that scum, and now he found a certain hope, to let the lady in front of him deal with 'that' person that controls him behind. But he immediately extinguished such though, he can't have any innocent people to do his work for him, and implicate them. Even though he knew she was powerful, he didnt know which one of them was stronger. That's why he can't use this lady in front of him. Beside 'that' person might know what is happening right now.

"I already found the listening device and destroyed it, don't worry. Now tell us, the true person behind your son, Mark's back, is he from 'there'?" Phillip was astounded, he was shocked when he heard someone talking behind him, but he was sure earlier that there was no one in the room besides Him and Queen. But he was more flabbergasted by the fact that the man behind him knew the truth so easily. He concluded that this man was as strong as Queen, no he was probably even stronger

After a moment of hesitation, Phillip finally decided to tell them everything.

How he was given a huge sum of money to start his empire from a black cloaked man, with one condition, that is to take care and shelter Mark until he reach a certain age to be brought back and then until then he has to protect him. So he released a statement of having a son, which caused a lot of controversy because Phillip himself wasn't married. People concluded many things, such as his son was from a prostitute, an adopted son. Phillip didn't cleared the misunderstanding since he only need to shelter Mark but then the cloaked man came back, demanding him to give a statement stating that he was his precious son and whoever offend him or slander him will receive the wrath of Gold Incorporated, so he released a statement the same as the cloaked man instructed. Since then, no one offended Mark, afraid of offending the CEO of the biggest mining company in the continent. After that, Mark became overconfident and arrogant.

Then it started, his hunt of every teenage or even pre teen girls to violate and abolish them, almost everyweek he has atleast 2 victims.

Since then, everyday is a headache for Phillip, he has to deal a lot of harsh criticis and comments from the media, some even filed for a lawsuit. Some sue him, some even begged at the front of his mansion. He even wanted to get rid of Mark but the cloaked man visited him every few months, threatening him to not do anything or else he will take back his empire.

When Phillip finished talking, he glanced at Queen and the man who was now beside Queen. He was slightly terrified because of their reactions in their faces, he thought that by telling them this information, they'll be slightly wary. Since the both of them was this strong, he concluded that they probably knew about the people 'above', which all are very frightening existences. But it was different from what he expected.

Queen was wearing an expression like she knew but didn't care. Of course Queen didn't care, even people from above doesn't dare to offend her much less ordinary people. She showed indifferent temperament, only apathy was is her face.

But the Man besides Queen was much more scary, he wore a calm smile full of ordinariness and emptiness, his eyes filled with nothingness. It's like he was just an ordinary person, an innocent bystander. But Phillip knew, that he probably knew much more than Queen. He knew because he has special senses or else he couldn't just build his empire just from money. His judgement of people is extraordinarily accurate to the point its already frightening. This is his talent, and his rational reasoning even in dangerous times and crisis situation.

"Figures" Queen sneered.

"Er..What about my son?." Phillip politely inquired, he need to know what happened to mark, if he was killed then surely that cloaked man's origin would force to move, since they heavily emphasize Mark's importance to them. He does't care about Marks status but he was afraid that the people above would come for him. Although he was a Platinum rank warrior, one of the top of the City, he is still not a match for them.

"I left him in his room." Worm replied calmy, then he looked towards the direction of Mark's room seemingly seeing someone. "Someone just took him away."

"What?! Is it true?!" Phillip thoughts came true, the cloaked man took Mark away, now he can imagine his imminent doom. His back drenched in sweat, he wanted to ask both of them for help but stopped, he dont want to involve two innocent bystanders to his problems.

As if Worm read Phillips thought, the former took out a simple black leather gloves out of nowhere.

Phillip dumbly recieved Worms present and was confused of the thing given.

"Use it if you have any problem." With a sentence, Worm suddenly disappeared, leaving a gust of wind.

Queen didn't say anything and retreated in darkness to disappear as if she was never there.

The room serenity came back once more. It looks like there was never anyone in the room at all.

Phillip was dumbfounded as he suddenly thought the possibility of both of them being more frightening than the people above. Much more frightening, if the people above are 'beast' then the both of them are 'demons'.
