Chapter 282 - Master's Achilles Heel

"You betrayer!" He kicked Alcina. Of course, she was a little injured. She had taught him well. Still, the pathetic thing failed pathetically. "Prince Amaris made you the Queen of Serpent. You betrayed him by leaving the organization. What right do you have to reprimand me?" 

Alcina took two black pins out of her bun and stabbed him in the neck. Enough of the fight. She wasn't in the mood to fight. 

"First of all, you don't deserve to call me a betrayer when you betrayed your teacher for benefits from that good for nothing prince. Secondly, do you think the chief would have let me leave just like this? I fucking made a deal with him for my freedom. He asked me to kill Lord Tang in order to leave the organization. I killed him and won my independence. I do not care about the lies Amaris has fed you." 

The young lad had fallen on the ground yet he didn't lose the fight. "Prince Amaris killed that dreadful Tang--" 

She lowered at his level and said as her eyes bore into his. "Talk about him with respect, little worm or you don't want to fathom the consequences. He is a thousand times the man your Prince Amaris is and ever will be." 

She looked at him for the last time and spoke," Goodbye, my dear disciple. Remember me in the hell Feng Siyan will put you through."

Ring! Ring!

Feng Siyan picked up the call as he saw an unknown number flashing on his phone. 

"It's really been a long time, Ah Siyan!" 

"Don't you dare call me the name, woman," Feng Siyan gritted out. "And what right do you have to call me?" 

"Take a chill pill," Alcina laughed. "I have every right to call you since my princess is with you. How is she?" 

"She is fine," Feng Siyan replied monotonously. "If not for her, you would have been long killed, woman. I wonder which country you saved in your last life." 

"I didn't win any country in my last life," Alcina said, infatuating Feng Siyan. "But I did win your Master's heart in this lifetime as you know how great his love was for me that he willingly took the poison I stabbed him with. Lord Tang couldn't live with the Queen of Serpents as they were born nemesis yet he died at my hands. What a tragic love story ours is! How does it feel Feng Siyan that you were not as important as me in his heart?" 

"You! I will kill you." Of course, there was someone who could melt Feng's cold face. Not just burn but she could set him on fire. If Feng Siyan was the ice, Alcina was a dragon breathing fire. 

"Come find me, Feng Siyan," Alcina said tauntingly. Feng Siyan could imagine the cocky smirk on her face. " Let's see who will emerge victoriously. Me or you? I'm sure Long Jie will look after my daughter fine if you end up dying at my hands." Alcina just didn't stop here. She kept pushing Feng Siyan's button. "Who knows you will go straight to where your master is! What do you think, where would he be? Heaven or hell--" 

"Alcina! Do not cross your limits! He treated you like no one else yet you killed Lord Tang," Feng Siyan growled. His demeanor was now that of a hungry lion. He would tear Alcina apart. Consequence be damned. "Do you even know who he was? Do you know the importance of Lord Tang?--" 

"Let's not make me guilty, Feng Siyan," Alcina cut him off. She had yet to accept the fact that she was Lord Tang's murder. She murdered a great man. People might look up to her but she couldn't meet her eyes in the mirror with guilt.

Lord Tang had once said, "Alcina, if Lord Tang ever died, you would be his killer. Do not feel guilty because I'm giving you the power to do so. He was born to die one day at your hands." 

Taking a deep breath and keeping aside her scattered thoughts, Alcina spoke," I'm sending you the location. Come and pick up Amaris's dog. And don't forget to inform Long Jie that his love rival's madness is increasing day by day. End him before he does something that all of us would regret."

"Who was on the phone , Ah Siyan?" Long Jie asked as Feng Siyan disconnected the phone. It wouldn't be wrong to say he wasn't thrilled to know that there was someone who could rile the epitome of coldness aka Feng Siyan up. 

"Who would it be other than the infamous Queen?" Feng Siyan grumbled. He couldn't believe that she had the nerves to order him around. If not for his master….

On the other hand, Long Jie didn't know what to say. 

"So, when will she take Faye with her?" Long asked him a while later. 

"On her fifth birthday i.e just seven days away." Feng Siyan didn't know about the deal between Alcina and Lord Tang. Alcina wasn't supposed to see her daughter's face until she turned five years old. Now that five years were about to complete, Alcina would be taking her daughter with her to where she belongs. 

Feng Siyan also didn't know about Alcina's real identity except for the fact that she was living under the alias Queen of Serpents. All he knew was that she was his Master's Achilles heels. 

Since Faye was in Long Jie's care, he had to do everything to keep her safe. Faye's identity was more sensitive than them. So, he asked, "Can we stop her from taking Faye? We can't ignore the fact that she is the one who killed Lord Tang. Everyone knows Queen of Serpents has killed Lord Tang, and not to ignore the main point they Queen of Serpents is a part of Phantoms, how can we let her take the little princess away? She is Brother's only heir." 

"Do you think Master haven't think about this? Half of the time, I don't know what runs inside Master's mind. His sudden death. New heir for the organization. Me stepping up to take his position. He told me nothing about this. But all I know is we have to trust his vision. He was a visionary. Besides, we don't have any other option." 

Truly, Feng Siyan knew nothing. All he knew was that once Lord Tang asked him to step up into his position if he ever disappeared. This time, he didn't disappear. He simply died...

Only if he knew that his Master would leave him to clean up his mess!!
