God-Tier Providence System-Chapter 98

The Saint Lord was actually saving them.

With ashen faces, the four of them were just preparing to follow Alex out of the Saint Lord’s Hall and travel through the night to the Heavenly Flame Capital.

Suddenly, a faint sound echoed from afar.

Ding-a-ling...

Hearing this bell, Nyx, who was originally in a weak and motionless state, instantly regained her vitality. She subconsciously wanted to sprint away, but Lara who was escorting her pinned her down firmly. Unable to move a single inch.

Alex’s ears twitched slightly. He captured the location of the abnormal sound and shouted deeply.

"Adrian!"

"Here!"

Adrian’s figure flashed. Instantly transforming into a ray of light, he chased after the sound of the bell.

Three seconds later, he descended from the sky carrying Knox by the collar. Threw him right in front of Alex.

"Saint Lord, it’s this brat!"

"You again!"

Alex looked down imperiously at Knox, his eyes narrowed, his voice cold.

"Speak. Why did you infiltrate my territory?"

"H-Saint Lord Alex, please don’t misunderstand." Knox gulped a mouthful of saliva and laughed awkwardly.

"I was just passing by, I absolutely had no other intentions..."

"Passing by? Passing right into my home?"

Alex unhurriedly bent down. Using his index and middle fingers, he pinched the Soul-Tethering Bell in Knox’s hand. Casually shook it.

Ding-a-ling.

Hearing this ring, Nyx violently acted up again.

Desperately trying to charge toward the bell regardless of everything. Even Lara almost failed to hold her down.

Alex feigned pondering for a moment. Then his expression instantly turned icy and severe.

"I understand now."

"It was you, shameless brat, who brought Princess Flower to my territory. Correct?"

Knox’s scalp went numb. His entire body shivering non-stop.

Alex narrowed his eyes.

A cold, ferocious sneer curling on his lips.

"Good, very good."

"Now it seems, not only must I go and apologize to the Heavenly Flame Empress, but I must also demand an explanation from her."

"Let’s go! To the Heavenly Flame Capital!"

...

Late at night. Aurelia was inside a secret realm. Her body bathed in intent as she comprehended Dao.

Suddenly, her personal maidservant, Maris, ran in from outside. Her voice filled with terror.

"Your Majesty, disaster!"

"What is causing such panic?" Aurelia asked faintly. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

"The Hale family’s Saint Lord, Alex, has arrived at Azure Phoenix Hall with a large group of people."

Maris’s voice trembled with horror.

"And our Princess Flower... she’s been injured! She’s covered in blood, with not a single patch of intact skin!"

"What?!"

Aurelia’s pupils abruptly shrank. Her eyes revealing a sharp, torrential fury.

"Alex, you injured my person, and yet you dare to come to my territory to flaunt your power?! This is truly bullying others too far!"

"I... I will absolutely not forgive you!"

She took grand, meteor-like strides straight toward Azure Phoenix Hall.

However, upon walking in, the scene before her left her stunned.

Nyx was lying on the crystal bed right in the center. Just as Maris had said, a bloody, mutilated mess all over. Not a single inch of intact skin.

But behind the crystal bed knelt four people. Three men and one woman. All four of them Supreme Realm experts.

Aurelia recognized them at a single glance.

The Saint Lords of the Hale family’s four major branch families. Oscar Hale, Peter Hale, Martin Hale and Alice Hale.

Behind the four of them, Alex sat on the guest seat with his arms crossed. Seeing Aurelia arrive, he immediately stood up. Nodded and clasped his fists.

"Greetings, Your Majesty."

Aurelia narrowed her eyes slightly.

"Saint Lord Alex, what is the meaning of this?"

"To answer Your Majesty, I have come today specifically to offer an apology."

Alex spoke with the utmost respect.

"At midnight tonight, your esteemed capital’s Princess Flower appeared within my Hale family’s holy land for unknown reasons. Due to some misunderstandings, the four branch family heads took action, subduing and capturing her, and inadvertently injuring her."

"I have always known that Princess Flower is a hero of the Sixty-Year Demon Purge and has established outstanding, monumental merits for the Heavenly Flame Dynasty."

"Therefore, I have specifically brought these four blind, wicked beasts here to kowtow and apologize. Seeking Your Majesty’s forgiveness."

The moment Alex’s words fell, the four of them immediately began kowtowing desperately. Their heads pounding the floor like garlic mashers.

"Your Majesty, spare our lives! Your Majesty, spare our lives!"

"It’s all because we had eyes but failed to recognize Mount Tai, and ended up offending Princess Flower!"

"We beg Your Majesty to show mercy and forgive our sins!"

Hearing Alex’s explanation and seeing the four of them crying to the heavens and wailing to the earth, the fury in Aurelia’s heart dissipated quite a bit.

After hesitating for a moment, she said faintly.

"Forget it."

"Since Saint Lord Alex says it was a misunderstanding, that means you didn’t intentionally mean to harm Nyx."

"On Nyx’s behalf, I will forgive you."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

The four of them nodded excitedly. Instantly shedding tears of gratitude. They hadn’t expected such a grave sin could be forgiven so easily.

It seemed the Saint Lord truly wouldn’t harm them.

"Good. I thank Your Majesty for your generous grace and benevolence."

Alex’s voice was faint.

"You four head out first. I have a few words to speak privately with Her Majesty."

"Yes!"

How could the four dare say another word? They immediately left dejectedly, one by one.

...

Seeing that only the two of them remained in the grand hall, Aurelia felt somewhat unnatural.

"What matter does Saint Lord Alex have that necessitates speaking with Us alone?"

"Your Majesty, in front of my subordinates, I did not question you further."

Alex’s voice was calm and measured.

"Now that it is only the two of us, could you tell me..."

"Why did Princess Flower appear inside our Hale family’s holy land?"

"This..."

A trace of panic flashed through Aurelia’s eyes. But she immediately recovered her natural composure.

"Saint Lord Alex, you should know that ever since the Sixty-Year Demon Purge thirty years ago, Nyx’s mental state has always been somewhat abnormal."

"Previously, she would often leave the Heavenly Flame Capital and wander to other places; even she couldn’t control her own actions."
