Chapter 522: Greed (1/2)
Xue Wei was patiently waiting for her while maintaining the same gentle smile on his face, but upon closer inspection, the receptionist noticed that the smile did not reach his eyes.
While he was not overbearing, he did not seem humble either. The receptionist began scolding herself and felt a bit fearful, but she still tried to calm herself. She was, after all, a staff member of the Whispering Oak Inn, they would not rebut her just because of some unknown figure.
As a member of the Whispering Oak Inn, she had already been given illustrations of all the high ranked members of their faction, and she had never seen this guy, so she slowly began to calm down.
In fact, a sneer appeared on her lips. She could not help but think that Xue Wei was extremely presumptuous, appearing at their building and thinking that he was important.
She planned on making him wait for a bit longer, but upon careful consideration, she could not be too much, or she might still be punished.
”Well, how may I help you?” The receptionist did not greet them, nor was she polite. She was acting condescending as she looked at the three of them with mockery in her eyes.
Xue Wei seemed to have expected this, so he did not get angry. Instead, he chuckled slightly. Such a brainless woman was the receptionist in such an important faction? Were the leaders as blind as their subordinates? If so, he had no interest in working together with them.
However, Xue Wei also understood that the leaders were not likely to know about someone as unimportant as a small receptionist. In this dog eat dog world, arrogance was the norm.
”I need to meet with the branch leader,” Xue Wei said unhurriedly, as if it was the easiest thing to do, but by now the secretary was utterly convinced that Xue Wei was not worthy enough to meet anyone important.
One has to know that the branch leaders of each Whispering Oak Inn were the strongest expert in that city, and this was a regional capital. The branch leader here was extremely illustrious, and almost a legendary figure.
He thought that he could meet with him by merely showing up?
Xue Wei noticed the disdain in her eyes, and he flipped his hand. A Hell Court Lotus appeared in his palm. This was a herb that was known to have the strongest yin energy in the entire world of the living, and the energy was so dense that it billowed from the herb in a black mist.
Although it was constantly releasing a strange black Yin Qi, it was as if the dense Qi within it could not be extinct, and it continued to release the fragrance which was the most tempting and alluring to the ghosts.
The receptionist stared at the herb in Xue Wei's eyes with a frown. What was this?
She knew what yin energy was. Although this energy was scarce in the Ghost Realm, it could be found from time to time in various locations, but due to the rarity, they were occupied by the strongest experts.
However, herbs had never existed in the Ghost Realm before, and thus she did not know what the Hell Court Lotus was; however, the sheer amount of yin energy which was being released into the air was enough to make her gulp.
