Zhang Wei nodded upon hearing this.
"Let's not talk about that for now. Pay attention later, don't let what happens here get out. If any ghosts escape, stop them."
"Yes, sir, we will not let a single ghost leave this dock."
"Sir, you can rest assured. Let alone ghosts, I wouldn't let a fly escape."
The Drowning Ghost King and the others spoke in succession.
Zhang Wei smiled and pointed at a fly flying in the distance.
"I think I just saw a fly fly over there."
Drowning Ghost King: "..."
Vampire King: "..."
[Ding! Two Ghost Kings... Damn, sir, is this how you level up? Is this how your strength increased?]
[Host gains System Points +220]
Zhang Wei smiled, ignoring their resentful gazes, and his eyes fell on the dock ahead.
From what the Drowning Ghost King and the others had told him, Zhang Wei knew that the female succubus had many subordinates, even Ghost Kings. Although she had agreed to meet with the Drowning Ghost King, she wouldn't come alone; she would definitely bring her subordinates.
At this moment.
As he looked towards the dock, relying on his own strength and his Heavenly Eyes, Zhang Wei could sense that the dock ahead was filled with ghostly energy. Within it, there were several terrifying presences. It was less like a dock and more like a ghost den, where many ghosts had gathered.
"The scale of things is bigger than I expected."
Zhang Wei's eyes flickered.
He had initially thought that the female succubus would only bring one or two Ghost Kings with her at most. After all, no matter how powerful the female succubus was, she couldn't have many Ghost Kings following her, and there weren't that many Ghost Kings available. Just like in Great Xia, even abroad, Ghost Kings were considered formidable beings that exorcism organizations would pay attention to wherever they went.
However.
To his surprise, this time the female succubus was accompanied by three Ghost Kings and two half-step Ghost Kings.
"So many Ghost Kings, it would be a huge loss if even one escaped."
As he spoke.
Zhang Wei took out the Demon God's Heart, intending to take them all today, whether it was the female succubus or the other Ghost Kings!
...
Meanwhile.
At the dock, inside a warehouse.
He saw...
A half-step Ghost King was lying on the ground like a dog. Even when the female succubus sat on its back, it remained motionless, serving as a seat. Beside it stood two Ghost Kings, one on each side, like bodyguards, protecting the female succubus.
"How much longer until the agreed time?"
The female succubus crossed her legs, her slender legs swaying slightly as she played with a mobile phone in her hand.
As she spoke.
A ferocious ghost of the Red-Clothed level responded.
"Lady Bella, half an hour."
The female succubus nodded. As if thinking of something, she glanced sideways at the two Ghost Kings beside her and asked,
"How is the investigation I asked you to conduct?"
After speaking.
The Red-Clothed ferocious ghost respectfully replied.
"Lady Bella, I have already sent ghosts to investigate if there are any other Ghost Kings or half-step Ghost Kings in Hawaii. They will bring back news before midnight tonight."
"Also, Lady Bella, the other Ghost King and the half-step Ghost King you brought have already scouted the surroundings. There is no danger, no other ghosts. They asked me to return and inform you. Once they have arranged the defensive positions for the surrounding ghosts, they will come back to tell you."
The female succubus nodded with great satisfaction.
"Well done. You are better than the Ghost Kings and ghosts I knew before."
Due to the instructions from the embroidered shoes, the female succubus had been doing her best to find half-step Ghost Kings in the past two days, in addition to completing other businesses. With her connections and her subordinates, she quickly recruited three Ghost Kings and two half-step Ghost Kings.
However, she did not relax. She planned to take advantage of her business with the Drowning Ghost King to also deal with Hawaii. This led to her earlier request for ghosts to investigate, intending to capture all the Ghost Kings in Hawaii to fulfill her business with the embroidered shoes.
"Thank you, Lady Bella..."
Just as the Red-Clothed ferocious ghost was about to respond.
As if sensing something.
The female succubus, along with the three Ghost Kings present and the half-step Ghost King serving as a seat, all looked towards the outside of the warehouse.
At this moment.
The view of the sunset over the sea outside the dock, which was visible from the warehouse, was no longer there. Looking out, only darkness could be seen, as if the warehouse where the ghosts were located was no longer in Hawaii but had arrived in a dark abyss. Black mist swirled, occasionally pouring into the warehouse.
Looking at the scene before her, the female succubus's beautiful face darkened.
"Is this what you call setting up defenses?"
Even a fool could tell that the dock they were in had fallen into some kind of formation and was surrounded by enemies.
However.
Instead of a response from her subordinate, the Red-Clothed ferocious ghost, a voice came from outside the warehouse, enveloped in black mist.
"I said we were just here to discuss business, why bring so many ghosts? Is this what Miss Lis said? Women in power like to take the initiative, to make a grand entrance. Not to mention, this is quite a grand entrance." 138 Reading Network
As this voice sounded.
"Barrick, it's really you... No, that's not Barrick's voice. Who are you... Huh? A human?"
The female succubus was furious when she heard about discussing business. She had initially thought it was the Drowning Ghost King trying to ambush her. However, when she saw the figure emerging from the black mist outside the warehouse, not only the female succubus but all the ghosts were stunned.
[Ding! All ghosts are stunned. Are you kidding me? That's a human?]
[Host gains System Points +600]
Looking at Zhang Wei, who walked out.
At the first moment.
The female succubus and the others felt that Zhang Wei had gone mad. How could a young man dare to attack them? Was he a fearless newborn calf? Couldn't he see their strength? Although they didn't understand who Zhang Wei was, from his words, the female succubus knew that the other party was definitely related to the Drowning Ghost King.
Immediately.
The female succubus smiled charmingly.
"Where is Barrick? Dare to attack me, but he's afraid to come out? And let a young exorcist show up? Barrick, you don't think a little black mist can trap us, do you? This young exorcist can't see our strength, but Barrick, I think you can..."
Before she could finish speaking.
Zhang Wei interrupted her. Knowing what she was about to say, he couldn't help but say,
"Barrick is outside. Don't worry, he won't come in. He has to guard the outside to prevent you from escaping from outside the warehouse."
[Ding! The ghosts burst into laughter... Damn, what is this young exorcist talking about? Prevent us from escaping?]
[Host gains System Points +610]
The female succubus was even more stunned, then covered her mouth and giggled charmingly.
"Little brother, since you're so funny and making me laugh, I'll tell you the truth. Don't follow Barrick anymore. He can't do anything to us. He only has one Ghost King, and we..."
Before she finished speaking.
The two Ghost Kings beside the female succubus seemed to understand each other. At this moment, they and the female succubus unleashed terrifying Ghost King-level auras. The ghostly energy rumbled, shaking the entire warehouse ground.
It was also at this moment.
The female succubus stuck out her tongue, licked her finger, and looked at Zhang Wei charmingly.
"We have three Ghost Kings, and even one outside. Do you think Barrick, with just one Ghost King, can deal with us?"
In the female succubus's opinion, the Drowning Ghost King wanted to deal with her, but the Drowning Ghost King hadn't expected her to bring so many Ghost Kings.
It was also at this moment.
As the female succubus spoke, she looked at Zhang Wei and slowly said,
"Why don't you tell us where Barrick is, little brother, and lead us there? Since you're so amusing, I won't kill you. I'll even give you a big reward."
As she said this.
The female succubus leaned forward slightly, her perfect figure alluring and captivating, her intentions clear. This reward would be very... strenuous.
Facing her words, how could Zhang Wei not understand her meaning? He couldn't help but wave his hand.
"A friend of mine told me that when facing a strong woman like you, I should fight back fiercely. If you tell me to go east, I must go west. So I refuse your request. Also..."
As he spoke.
Zhang Wei paused and said directly.
"Miss Bella, you've misunderstood one thing. It's not that Barrick isn't coming out, but I asked Barrick to guard the outside, because I need to prevent you from escaping when dealing with you."
"Huh? Deal with us? Without Barrick, who can deal with us? What? Don't tell me it's just you?" a Ghost King instinctively asked.
In response.
Zhang Wei nodded, grinning and revealing a row of white teeth.
"Yes, just me. After all, I'm the mastermind."
