chapter 279

As Wu Xiufan introduced Alex to the Queen, a flicker of surprise crossed her face. She had heard rumors about the young covenantor, but she had never expected him to be so impressive.

Alex, dressed in a tailored suit, exuded an air of sophistication and refinement. His appearance was striking, his demeanor confident.

The Queen, a woman of great discernment, could see that Alex was no ordinary covenantor. He was intelligent, capable, and possessed a certain charisma that drew people to him.

She extended her hand to Alex, her eyes filled with a mixture of curiosity and approval. "It is a pleasure to meet you, Alex," she said, her voice warm and inviting.

Alex shook her hand, his heart pounding in his chest. He was in the presence of royalty, and he was nervous.

The Queen smiled, her eyes filled with a sense of approval. "You are a very impressive young man," she said. "I am sure you will go far."

Alex blushed, his cheeks turning pink. He was not used to compliments, especially from such a high-ranking member of the royal family.

The Queen continued to observe Alex, her eyes filled with a mixture of curiosity and interest. She could see that he was intelligent, capable, and possessed a certain charisma that drew people to him.

She turned to Wu Xiufan, a knowing smile playing on her lips. "You have found a very special young man," she said.

Wu Xiufan smiled, his heart filled with pride. He had found love, true love, and he was grateful.

As the evening wore on, Alex continued to impress the Queen. He was witty, intelligent, and charming. He was a man who could hold his own in any conversation.

The Queen, a woman of discerning taste, could see that Alex was a perfect match for Wu Xiufan. They were both intelligent, capable, and possessed a certain charisma that drew people to them.

As they left the palace, the Queen turned to Wu Xiufan. "You have found a treasure," she said. "Cherish him."

Wu Xiufan smiled, his eyes filled with love and devotion. He would cherish Alex, forever.

As the Queen Consort spoke, Alex's heart skipped a beat. He had not expected to encounter Yu Xuan at the palace. The thought of facing his former tormentor filled him with dread.

He turned to Wu Xiufan, his eyes filled with a mixture of fear and resignation. He knew that he couldn't avoid Yu Xuan, that he would have to face him sooner or later.

Wu Xiufan, sensing Alex's unease, reached out and took his hand. "Don't worry," he said, his voice filled with reassurance. "I'll be with you."

Alex nodded, his heart pounding in his chest. He knew that he could rely on Wu Xiufan, that he would protect him.

As the Queen Consort continued to speak, Alex forced himself to focus on the conversation. He had to be prepared, he had to be ready.

Finally, the Queen Consort turned to Alex. "Yu Ze," she said, her voice filled with a mixture of curiosity and approval. "Make yourself at home. Have Xiufan take you around to enjoy the sights."

Alex nodded, his voice barely a whisper. He knew that he couldn't avoid Yu Xuan, that he would have to face him sooner or later.

As he followed Wu Xiufan through the palace, Alex's mind raced. He was filled with a mixture of fear and anticipation. He was afraid of what Yu Xuan might do, but he was also determined to confront him, to settle their differences once and for all.

The city, unaware of the darkness lurking beneath the surface, continued its daily routine. But for Alex, the battle had just begun. He had exposed Yu Xuan's deception, and now he had to face the consequences.

The city, once shrouded in darkness, was beginning to brighten. The accident, the attempted sabotage, had left a lasting impression, but it had also brought people together. The city, once divided by class and status, was slowly uniting.

And as the days turned into weeks, the city moved forward, its spirit unbroken, its resilience unwavering. The darkness had been defeated, the light of hope shining brightly.
