Outcast Queen: Her Return from Hell novel Chapter 486

Meanwhile, at the Quincy estate in Highcrest.

Layers upon layers of men in black suits surrounded the manor, locking it down tight. Quentin had pulled almost every capable elite under his command, trying to turn the estate into an impenetrable fortress.

Inside the hall, Quentin's face was pale as a ghost.

He had just received a secret report—the assassins sent to Blackwood Penitentiary had been wiped out!

And that demonic woman who had broken her chains was now carving her way back to Highcrest, fueled by vengeance!

Without Nathan as his shield, how was he supposed to defend against that utterly unhinged lunatic?!

"Quentin, you look absolutely pathetic." Isabella sneered at him, acting as if he were just jumping at shadows. "A woman locked up for over ten years—even if she's out now, how much trouble can she really cause?"

"Relax. The second she steps foot into Highcrest, I'll take a team and clean her up for you."

"You don't know shit!" Quentin ground his teeth, a raspy growl forcing its way out of his throat. "Yara St. Claire... she isn't even a normal woman!"

"She was the uncrowned Queen of Highcrest! Whether they walked in the light or the dark, who didn't fear her? The Quincy family looks glorious now, sitting on the highest throne in Highcrest, but all our assets combined don't even add up to a tenth of what that woman commanded at her peak!"

Quentin trembled all over, cold sweat drenching his back.

If he hadn't been holding Yara's weakness in a death grip, he probably wouldn't even have had the courage to look that woman in the eye.

Isabella frowned, scoffing at his terror.

Back when Yara ruled the world, Isabella was nothing but a naive young girl, so naturally, she couldn't empathize.

"Boom—!"

A sudden explosion ripped through the air, vibrating the ground beneath them.

Quentin's scalp went numb, terror instantly swallowing his eyes. "She's here... it has to be her!"

"Quentin, can you stop being so dramatic? The Quincy family has a massive empire, and you're scared of an ex-con?" Isabella snorted coldly, stomping aggressively toward the door in her stilettos.

She wanted to see for herself exactly what made this woman—who had only looked a bit intimidating back in Cloudhaven—scare her brother into such a pathetic state.

However, the moment Isabella stepped out the door and her eyes swept over the front yard, she was struck still like she had been hit by lightning.

A massive, dark-green steel beast was crushing the immaculate lawn of the Quincy estate without a care in the world—it was a literal tank!

This was the absolute center of Highcrest. How on earth could a tank just roll right in?!

The Quincy family had reached the absolute peak of power, yet they still couldn't even touch the military sector. The backing required to pull this off was terrifying.
