Chapter 294: So, you two wanted to chat, didn’t you?
Standing outside Alexander’s suite were the same two Ghost Emperors he had encountered on the airship returning from Mist Instance: Untold of the First Ghost Realm and Explode of the Fifth Ghost Realm.
"Haha! Brother Alexander, I heard someone checked into the Supreme Suite. I knew it had to be you!" Untold exclaimed.
Alexander frowned, "Untold Ghost Emperor, Explode Ghost Emperor, what brings you two here?" His tone was notably less courteous than before.
This wasn’t just because their Good Will ratings were pitifully in the single digits; it was primarily because Alexander no longer needed their goodwill.
He was intent on acquiring the method for mass-producing Ghost Pills during this Instance. Once he left Mist Instance, it would be time for Dark Hell to consume Horror World.
Both their ghost realms were also on the list to be absorbed, so there was no need for excessive politeness.
"Brother Alexander," Untold began with a beaming face, "I heard Dark Hell has been facing some issues lately?"
Untold clearly had extra channels of information in the Third Ghost Realm. He was aware that Dark Hell was about to be besieged.
"I don’t care what you two are after," Alexander shook his head dismissively, "but Dark Hell is doing just fine. Everything is going smoothly."
"Don’t lie to us at this point. We’ve got our sources too," Explode interrupted before Untold could respond, "Kevin from the Third Ghost Realm has already united over 90% of the ghost realms. An army of over a hundred billion is assembling.
I don’t believe you’ve got any way to handle that! We can help you if you share how you gained so much Ghost Energy and about your relationship with Karin—"
"Shut up!" Untold cut off Explode abruptly.
After silencing Explode, Untold turned to Alexander and said, "Brother Alexander, we’re here to see if we can be of any assistance. Our two ghost realms have allied with more than a dozen major cities. We are willing to extend our help to you if you agree. Of course, we’re also interested in gaining a little bit of information."
"Sorry, I really don’t need any help," Alexander decisively shook his head again.
It was easy to guess what the two wanted to know: their greed was piqued by the time he bought out an entire item shop and by his relationship with Karin, especially that Ghost Pill.
The allure of forbidden power was irresistible to anyone. If it weren’t for their meeting on the airship and Alexander’s relationship with Karin, he believed they would have tried to seize it by force.
"Don’t be in such a hurry! I think we should have a proper chat," Untold urged, propping his hand against the doorframe and squeezing himself in just as Alexander was about to close the door.
"Exactly, we really must talk," Explode said, smiling broadly and pushing his way in as well.
The next moment, both men froze, their eyes glazed over and their bodies trembling. Their lips quivered in fear, and they were too stunned to speak.
Both of their gazes fell to the center of the room. When they were outside the door, Alexander’s presence had obstructed their view, preventing them from seeing inside.
Now that both had forced their way in, the grandeur of the living room was immediately obvious.
There were four stunning women, each with unique charisma and stunning physiques—an absolute visual feast.
The issue was their identities: Blood Queen, Karin, Emperor Kui, and Blizzard.
Among them, Emperor Kui had the least renown. However, anyone remotely familiar with Alexander would also be aware of the grand battle between Dark Hell and Endless Abyss, and naturally, of Emperor Kui’s capabilities.
Initially, she had summoned only a hundred Imperial-level Devil Babies. Although these Devil Babies seemed weaker than typical Ghost Imperials, they could resurrect infinitely.
Anyone could surmise that Emperor Kui wasn’t revealing her full hand. If a hundred Devil Babies were enough to wear down a Ghost Emperor, what if there were more?
Moreover, from start to finish, Emperor Kui had not even lifted a finger herself; it was all the work of her Devil Babies.
As for Blizzard, Karin, and the Blood Queen, it went without saying—they were forces so fearsome that merely their presence on the city walls would make an entire ghost city tremble.
Now, all four of them, with their piercing gazes, were staring directly at Untold and Explode.
It was as if a pirate, armed with a submachine gun, had approached a cruise ship with the intent to rob, only to discover four carrier battle groups glaring at him from not too far away.
Was this not akin to seeking one’s own doom?
"So, you two wanted to chat, didn’t you? Let’s chat, then!" Alexander said, turning back toward the duo and throwing up his hands in a gesture of mock surrender.
Both men shuddered violently and quickly waved their hands. "No, no! I just remembered that I have some urgent matters to attend to. Really sorry for the intrusion. We had intended to offer help. Perhaps we should leave,"
Untold stammered, his speech verging on incoherence. Beside him, Explode’s lips were turning pale; he was trembling all over and could only nod repeatedly.
"Alright, then," Alexander said, making no attempt to detain them, and escorted the two out of the room. After all, once he unified the Horror World, they would all be on the same side.
But what if they remained obstinate and refused to surrender?
If they wouldn’t bend the knee, then they would be slain and turned into Ghost Food, to be absorbed and become a part of him.
Since they would eventually be his people, there was no need to make things difficult for them any longer.
This time, apart from his final plan, Alexander intended to thoroughly explore the Mist Instance.
With the presence of quest rewards like status effect removal cards, the former obstacle of physical strength was no longer an issue.
In this instance, not only would he harness forbidden power, but Alexander also aimed to become the Ghost Emperor in one fell swoop.
Soon, the airship had successfully navigated into the Mist, and Alexander found himself successfully entering the Mist Instance.
"Congratulations on successfully entering the Mist Instance. Your current location is booth number 69 at the Aphrodisia Nightclub. Your placeholder name is Thaddeus!"
Hearing the prompt in his ear, Alexander opened his eyes to find himself staring at two ample bosoms.
The sensation of breasts pressing against his back was equally vivid.
People! Two of them!
This Thaddeus sure knows how to have a good time!
