Chapter 934: Chapter 934: Strange Orders
"What secret weapon is this? It’s clearly a pinhole camera. Installing a camera in someone else’s bathroom, aren’t you a pervert?" The Demoness couldn’t help but slap Soul Destroyer. Indeed, this kind of behavior would look like blatant voyeurism to outsiders.
"Desperate times, desperate measures. This woman is so formidable, even I’m not her match. Since she’s hiding her identity, it must be very important. Once I capture her appearance and send it to Ghost, we’ll uncover her identity." Soul Destroyer said resolutely. The Demoness, however, looked blameful, feeling ashamed that her boyfriend was peeping at ’another woman’s body’.
"If the Boss knows, he would definitely support me." Soul Destroyer added, while the Demoness could do nothing but hope they wouldn’t get caught.
"Wait, she’s coming in." At this moment, Soul Destroyer suddenly exclaimed, and the Demoness quickly moved closer. Sure enough, the woman in black entered the bathroom, walked to the tub, turned on the hot water, and placed her hands on her black gauze attire, slightly revealing her snow-white shoulders. The Demoness snatched the phone away; she wouldn’t let Soul Destroyer see this beauty’s body.
"Let me take a look." Soul Destroyer said disgruntledly, but the Demoness glared at him viciously as if saying she would gouge his eyes out if he dared, forcing him to behave.
"I... just want to see what she looks like too."
"I’ll look." The Demoness fixated on the phone, eager to catch a glimpse of the woman’s "true face". Unexpectedly, the woman’s hand suddenly paused, causing the two to feel a jolt. Could it be...?
"Still trying to watch me bathe." A cold laugh came from the woman on the screen, and their hearts sank.
With light steps, the woman slowly approached the pinhole camera and gently unleashed her Inner Strength, turning the screen to static on the Demoness’s end. The powerful Inner Strength directly shattered the camera into powder...
The two looked at each other, clearly frightened by the woman’s actions. How could she see it? Soul Destroyer had hidden the camera in the gap of a white lamp, which should have been undiscoverable.
Soul Destroyer’s "peeping plan" ended before it even started...
In the meeting room.
Initially, the members of the Netherworld Palace base were indifferent towards this woman who was new and unwilling to reveal her face. It seemed odd to them. Some seasoned members were even sure that this woman didn’t exist in the Netherworld Palace. However, seeing that Soul Destroyer and the Demoness had no objections, they said nothing either. Perhaps she was a ’Netherworld Envoy’ sent by the Netherworld King.
"I’ve heard about these attack cases. My proposal is to first target the Cam Gang, to set an example, so the mastermind can’t find any ’local dogs’." The woman in black said coldly, sitting in the center.
"This..." The people below looked displeased, seeming somewhat ’unhappy’ with the woman’s decision.
"What, do you have any objections?"
"I want to ask, who are you? Why do you wear a veil and refuse to meet people? Also, were you sent by the Netherworld King, sir?" A member spoke openly, sounding confrontational.
"Haha, I wasn’t sent by Hades. Actually, I only met Soul Destroyer yesterday."
As soon as the woman finished speaking, the people below were even more shocked. This person ’jumped in line’ to arrive here and wasn’t even appointed by Ye Shikai, yet dared to boss them around.
"Then please leave. This is a meeting of the Netherworld Palace, and outsiders are not allowed to join."
"I may not have been sent by Hades, but I am now a member of the Netherworld Palace. If you don’t believe me, you can ask Soul Destroyer." The woman said calmly.
"Master Soul Destroyer, this is..."
"Indeed, let’s put a stop to this issue here." Soul Destroyer coughed slightly, "She is now one of the Netherworld Palace members and has helped me. No need to worry."
"Since that’s the case, then forgive my earlier offense." That member reluctantly said, "But since you won’t reveal your name or face, isn’t this... inappropriate?"
"You can call me, Bai Jiao." The woman said word by word, causing murmurs among the crowd. Had anyone heard of this Bai Jiao in the Underworld?
"I’ve never heard of them."
"Me neither, where did she come from?"
"Let’s wait for the Netherworld King or Lord Ghost to handle this."
"Could Master Soul Destroyer have... betrayed us?"
The whispers below made Soul Destroyer uncomfortable. Everyone thought he had betrayed them, but only he understood that if this self-proclaimed ’Bai Jiao’ woman intended to harm Ye Shikai, he would be the first to tear her apart.
"Since everyone has no objections to my identity, can we continue discussing the main topic?" The woman in black, no, it should be Bai Jiao, said coldly.
"Bai Jiao, you’re new to the Netherworld Palace and may not understand the local situation. The Cam Gang is very prestigious here, with a vast territory. Our principle has always been to not actively involve ourselves in local conflicts. Do you think it’s... inappropriate to launch an attack?"
"Yes, yes."
"We can’t be so reckless; we need to plan carefully."
The people below all opposed Bai Jiao’s plan. Even Soul Destroyer and the Demoness had objections. Though the Cam Gang had no cultivators, they were still the local tyrant, and such a conflict could drag the Netherworld Palace into local disputes, breaking their neutral stance and potentially attracting a lot of trouble.
"Here’s my plan; who’s in favor and who’s against?"
"I oppose."
"Oppose."
"Oppose."
......
"Bai Jiao, I think we should wait for Ghost’s command on this matter." Soul Destroyer hesitated, feeling conflicted, but he sensed that Bai Jiao might genuinely be making a suggestion. Seeing both sides at odds, he had to play the mediator.
"Report, orders from Lord Ghost have arrived." At this moment, a member of the Netherworld Palace walked in, placing a document on the table, quieting everyone. Ghost was Ye Shikai’s representative; to see Ghost was to see the Netherworld King.
"Ghost... has ordered us to clear out the Cam Gang." Soul Destroyer read the document, his face full of surprise.
"What."
"Are you sure it’s an order from Lord Ghost?" The crowd passed the document around, all equally shocked, some even suspecting if the command was falsely issued.
"Absolutely, it was personally issued by Lord Ghost, and we’ve confirmed it."
"If that’s the case, does anyone have any other opinions?" At this moment, Bai Jiao said rather smugly.
