The Killer Queen (Noella Briony) novel Chapter 356

"Just looking at your picture makes me feel like I could live another twenty years!"

Noella calmly corrected, "Grand-uncle, you got it wrong."

"Huh?"

This was the first time Noella had addressed Xavier as grand-uncle, and it took him a moment to process!

Then Noella continued.

"Just twenty years? That's not enough. How about a few more? I've sent you some supplements. With me around, you could live to a hundred."

Noella was not only the leader of the Obelisk Organization but also the rumored Phantom Surgeon Lunaris, known to snatch lives from the grim reaper even at the border.

Xavier knew this too!

Hearing her say this, Xavier felt his eyes well up with warmth!

"Ah, I always listen to you, you call the shots... Oh, right, Noella, let me show you something!"

Xavier, like showing off a treasure, twisted his phone's camera to give a close-up of Vincent Lambert and his family feeding sharks outside!

Vincent and his family were holding pieces of crimson meat, still dripping blood. If they were slow in feeding the sharks, the creatures would open their gaping maws at them!

Vincent, terrified, screamed and nearly pushed Belinda Fuller into the water!

"You guys are insane! Is there no law in this place? I've told you, my dad's a founding general, messing with me, you'll face divine retribution..."

Xavier let out a cold laugh.

"A founding general? The only Lambert I know crashed his plane."

"You know Marcel, right? Marcel won't let you get away with this!"

Vincent's words were more animated than he intended, mostly because he was just too scared!

Every day here felt like a nightmare; he was on the verge of breaking down!

Xavier took a drag from his cigarette.

"Been here this long and still so chatty, go pull his tongue out and feed it to the sharks."

"Yes, boss!"

Vincent screamed and fainted on the spot!

Xavier explained, "This one, saw me looking at Harriet's photo when he arrived, tried to claim kinship with me!"

Noella was silent for a moment.

That was indeed something Vincent would do.

"Deal with it as you see fit, but let's not mention this in front of grandma."

Noella then mentioned running into Garrick on the mountain.

"Grand-uncle, who really backed Garrick in launching the Polaris Star Project?"

"Ask your granddad! His arch-enemy, nothing to do with me!"

Xavier refused to discuss the matter further.

"I'm going to deal with this family, damn, thinking about how they treated Harriet pisses me off! They dare to share Harriet's last name? Might as well change it to 'Scoundrel'!"

"Gotta go, sweetie! I have got a pot roast on the stove!"

Noella was unaware that Xavier had taken up cooking duties at Lockhart Prison.

Watching the quickly disconnected video call, Noella knew she wouldn't get anything more from Xavier!

On the tombstone, Harriet's smile was gentle and loving.

Horatio clasped his hands together, "Noella, I must go prepare the memorial service. Everyone has their own path to enlightenment, do as you please."

"Speak English."

"You're kinda in the way, please leave."

Harriet's memorial service was ready, and Horatio had to lead his disciples in meditation and chanting here.

Noella glanced at him, about to leave, then heard Horatio speak solemnly.
