Chapter 521: Feared Faction (2/2)

However, while Xue Wei understood that the Whispering Oak Inn was a terrifying place for ghosts, what he saw was an excellent opportunity to reach their goals. The more horrifying the place was, the more power it held, the better it would be for them.

Xue Wei looked around in the dim-lit foyer. There was a reception with a female ghost behind the counter, sorting some paperwork, and seemingly very focused on her task.

The foyer was of a rather impressive size, and there were chairs and tables placed in small groups, and a few of them were occupied by a few ghosts, but most of the place was deserted.

Xue Wei could feel that many were observing them secretly, but he did not feel intimidated. He was certain that his proposal would interest this place.

While he did not know much about the Whispering Oak Inn, the fact that many were fearing them this much proved that they were willing to do almost anything, as long as it would benefit them.

It was precisely due to this assumption that Xue Wei did not fear them. Working together with him would benefit them much more than if he was killed, especially since they could not even harvest his spirit liquid.

Xue Wei walked to the reception desk, but the female ghost who was waiting behind the counter did not raise her head to look at him, and continued to sort the papers in front of her instead.

Xue Wei politely waited for her. He did nothing to make her aware of his presence, as he knew that she had definitely noticed him long ago.

Lan was coiled into a ball on his shoulder, and the female ghost that they had saved was standing three steps behind Xue Wei.

While Xue Wei was not scared, she was horrified. She knew what rumors were swirling around the Whispering Oak Inn, and knew that she would have no chance of survival if Xue Wei failed in his business discussions.

Even so, she did not regret telling Xue Wei about this place. She understood that she had been saved by him, and even if her life ended up forfeited, she would not regret it.

Time went by slowly, and the receptionist ghost was feeling rather surprised. Xue Wei was not feeling any pressure from waiting, he did not seem impatient or annoyed. In fact, a playful smile was hanging on his lips, and the receptionist was starting to feel somewhat worried.

Had she perhaps annoyed a big shot?
