Chapter 526: Dog-Legged Branch Leader (1/2)

As the group exited the conference room, a subtle, and somewhat stifling feeling was present within the Whispering Oak Inn.

Many of the people present were the same who had been there when they had entered the conference room, and they all looked at them without trying to hide their inquiring gazes.

Many had shock and disbelief in their eyes. They had not expected that Xue Wei would be able to walk out of the conference room alive. He had such a great treasure, but he was still alive?

The Ghost Realm was a place where strength was revered. While most ghosts were unable to go against the restrictions and slaughter in the cities, the hegemons in the Ghost Realm could not be contained by such rules.

If they wanted to kill someone, they would not be bound by any regulations. This was also why everyone was aware that robbing was quite a common occurrence.

When such a great item appeared, it would be natural that Xue Wei would have been killed, and that the treasure would have been snatched by the branch leader, but what they saw now was that not only were they all still alive, they were also having a pleasant conversation together.

”Please follow me; I will bring you back to my mansion. After I have contacted these people, I will inform you as soon as possible when I receive their answers.”

Xue Wei nodded his head. He was genuinely grateful, not only to the branch leader, but also to the female ghost who had told them about the Whispering Oak Inn.

He was quite surprised as to how quickly they had found Li Zhiqing, and while he understood that traveling to meet her would take time, this was still preferable contrary to having to search high and low throughout the entire Ghost Realm.

Everyone had their own subtle thoughts. Xue Wei and Lan were occupied with thinking of Li Zhiqing; the female ghost was not able to overcome the shock she got when she realized that her two saviors were actually from the world of the living, and they had come to look for someone.

The branch leader was also still hoping for the best. Although he knew that the chances of him escaping the Ghost Realm were small, he did not wish to give up without trying.

The experts within the Whispering Oak Inn understood that something had happened within the conference room, which they would never know about. Many were glancing at one another, trying to see whether the others had caught upon a critical clue, but all they found was utter confusion.

Even if the branch leader wanted to get something from Xue Wei, he did not have to be so humble, did he?

It was as if he wanted to pledge his allegiance to this young man, and everyone was deeply shocked. Was this the same arrogant and overbearing ghost that caused fear to erupt in everyone's hearts as soon as they saw him?
