Chapter 176: Alexander’s logistical support
Chapter 176: Alexander’s logistical support
"Kassadin and Sam."
These two names completely stunned Alexander.
Wasn’t the Flame King of Happy Apartments, the landlord, the very Kassadin who had sought him out to swap a kidney and sworn brotherhood with him?
And this Sam, who was suddenly promoted to Prince-level, wasn’t he a subordinate Alexander had met previously at the clinic?
Alexander had only parted ways with Sam not long ago, and he had already achieved the strength of a Prince Ghost?
In any case, Alexander never thought that his first Prince Ghost subordinate would not be Su Rong or Annie, or even the newly acquired Full Moon, but Sam, who had been entrusted to Flame King on a whim back at the clinic.
Somewhat ashamedly, Alexander had almost forgotten that he even had such a subordinate.
Who would have thought that he would become a Prince Ghost now?
With the addition of Kassadin and Sam, Alexander felt that this competition for supremacy seemed to have turned into a civil war.
"Mr. Alexander!" Seeing Alexander speechless for a long time, Edward thought he was hesitating about whether or not to alert Louis and began to persuade him:
"This matter is urgent, so you must make a decision quickly! If the opponent had only one Prince Ghost, that would be one thing, but the Evil Ghost Association has three Prince Ghosts and an unknown number of General Ghosts, their strength far surpasses ours!
Moreover, the fact that Happy Apartments dares to defy Louis’s command and send irrelevant people to interfere with this Ghost Street competition surely means something is amiss! It would be better to tell Louis as soon as possible so he can handle it!"
"No! No need! There’s no need!" Alexander shook his head without hesitation, "You don’t have to worry about this; I’ll handle it!"
Knowing that the people sent by Flame King were Sam and his associates, Alexander knew there would be no problems.
What nonsense about disregarding Louis’s commands and sending irrelevant people?
Were Flame King’s sent people irrelevant? They were clearly spies for the Fierce Ghost Association!
Flame King knew about Alexander’s relationship with the Fierce Ghost Association, after all, Tony’s name was the first one Alexander had flaunted.
Knowing Tony’s relationship with Alexander and still sending Sam to help the Evil Ghost Association, was that helping? That was clearly spying!
"Mr. Alexander, don’t be rash!" Seeing Alexander’s nonchalant attitude, Edward hastily spoke up:
"They have three Prince Ghosts, two of whom are said to be Flame King’s most trusted aides. Even if Flame King doesn’t act himself but lets his subordinates do the work, I have no chance of winning and fear I’ll be defeated in an instant. By that time, it may be too late to seek Louis’s help!"
"Calm down! I’ve told you, if you meet them on the battlefield, you won’t have to fight. Just ensure Tony’s safety! I’ll deal with Sam and his two bodyguards," Alexander confidently said.
"You? On what grounds? With your current strength, not to mention Prince Ghosts, even General Ghosts..."
Edward wanted to say even a ghost general could easily kill him, but he thought of the person in front of him, Louis’s brother. Some words shouldn’t be said too excessively, lest Louis be displeased, and this was not something Edward could bear.
Although Alexander had a strong network, that didn’t mean he could deal with Prince Ghosts, let alone three of them.
Edward looked to Tony, since his persuasion was ineffective, Tony, being Alexander’s sworn brother, might have a better chance.
However, Tony didn’t hesitate and stood behind Alexander, "I believe in Tommy DeVito!"
"You believe what?! Those are Prince Ghosts, three of them, do you understand?"
Edward was hopping mad, unable to maintain his elegant demeanor. He angrily said to Tony, "He’s gone mad, are you playing along too? Can you even handle them?"
Tony looked at the furious Edward, sighed softly, and shook his head, "You know nothing of Alexander’s power."
Behind him, the purple-haired ghost and the red-haired ghost nodded in unison. How familiar this scene was!
Initially, hadn’t they also doubted Alexander like this?
But the result? At that time, in a similar situation, Edward had descended from the sky with several General Ghosts, showing them Alexander’s power.
Now, it was Edward who was once again doubting Alexander.
"Alright, stop arguing, it’s not a big deal! We’re all friends!" Alexander quickly tried to mediate between the two sides.
"I hope you’re still this confident later!" Edward, being a Prince-level ghost and notorious for his arrogance, snorted coldly and stopped trying to persuade them.
What he heard as "we’re all friends" was naturally describing that Edward and Tony were friends, so there was no need to argue.
However, the same words meant something different to Tony and the red-haired and purple-haired ghosts.
This was clearly a solution!
Indeed, everyone is friends!
Could this be Alexander’s strength? Since Alexander and the other party’s supporter are friends, they were sure to win!
"Even though we have the assurance of victory, we can’t be careless!" Tony said with a smile.
Edward looked confused. They were clearly at a disadvantage, so where did this assurance of victory come from? What had he missed? Why did he feel like he had overlooked something?
"That’s right!" the purple-haired ghost nodded, adding, "We agreed to help Alexander conquer territories, so we can’t always rely on his help.
The evil ghost association is still very strong, especially Fierce and soldier-level forces, where we are at an absolute disadvantage!"
"This time, the chosen ones will descend, and there will be a full one hundred thousand of them!" Alexander interjected. "You’ve seen their role; though these chosen ones are generally not strong, some have special abilities, and their wisdom and adaptability are far stronger than the ghosts with obsessions!"
"Understood!" the red-haired ghost nodded.
"We know what you mean; the contest for supremacy won’t end quickly, and at the beginning, both sides will certainly be in a standoff. By then, we can send people to bring those chosen ones over in advance and assign them to various teams as advisors or similar roles."
"This time, should we have a welcome ceremony? After all, the chosen ones’ prejudices against us are still quite deep! We have to make them feel at home!" Tony suggested.
"That..." Alexander frowned in thought, wondering if they should have a welcome ceremony like last time since it had been quite successful before.
"No! There’s no need for something so grand!"
"Right, right! Something simple will do; leave this to us!"
"We’re all chosen ones, so it will be easier for us to gain trust if we handle this matter!"
Just as Alexander seemed about to nod in agreement, Henry and the other chosen ones quickly spoke up. Perhaps only God knows how frightened they were by the welcome ceremony Alexander almost put together last time!
As top figures in the military and various major forces, they couldn’t bear to let ordinary chosen ones go through that again.
"Alright! Since we’re on the battlefield, it’s probably best to keep it simple!" Alexander also nodded, deciding to organize a more straightforward welcome ceremony when the time came.
Having resolved the issue with the chosen ones, next naturally came Alexander’s logistics work.
Long ago, Alexander had promised to take care of the logistics, and now, with the war about to begin, everyone’s eyes turned to him.
"It hasn’t gone very smoothly this time, mainly due to the tight timeline, so we’ve gotten very few supplies. Everyone will have to make do!" Alexander scratched his head, apologizing.
"It’s alright! Don’t be too hard on yourself; having fewer supplies doesn’t matter as long as you’ve done your best! After all, can we really rely on just you for the entire fierce ghost association’s logistics? We still need to..." Tony quickly stepped forward to comfort him, but before he could finish, Alexander waved his hand.
A small mountain of supplies appeared before their eyes.
Cigarettes, alcohol, snacks, incense, paper money, and even ingots were in abundance, all ghostly items, as though he had robbed a supermarket or mall.
Before anyone could express their astonishment, Alexander waved his hand again, and another small mountain of supplies appeared.
Various bandages, medicines, syringes, and even surgical scissors and hemostats were present, like he had robbed a hospital or clinic.
Next, with another wave, yet another small mountain of supplies appeared.
Hammers, hoes, pliers, wrenches, steel pipes, steel rods... all sorts of ghostly items that could be used as weapons, even living ghosts filled the floor, as though he had robbed an hardware store.
...
Tony was forced to swallow his words halfway through, and after a long pause, he muttered, "Relying solely on you for the fierce ghost association’s logistics might not be so out of the question after all! No, I should say, you are the only one who could do it!"
