Chapter 536: Wanting to Take Him Away (1/2)

The branch leader was well aware of the thoughts that his subordinates held. None of them had much loyalty, but their arrogance was far above the average, and their intelligence could also be said to be amongst the best.

Only those who were truly smart would see the benefits of serving the branch leader.

”Well, let's deal with them.” The branch leader sighed as he slowly rose from his chair. There was no urgency in his eyes, only a bit of impatience in his facial expression. It was clear that he was not taking these Overlords seriously.

In fact, within the Ghost Realm, very few knew the actual strength of the branch leaders of the Whispering Oak Inn, but everyone was aware that they were not to be belittled.

Throughout the years, they had experienced countless assassination attempts, and many had even banded together to get rid of the Whispering Oak Inn, but no one had succeeded.

It was said that these Overlords were equal to the branch leader when they gathered together, but was this the truth?

Only those who had actually seen the branch leaders attack would know how insanely tricky they were to deal with, and the majority of those who had seen it would never live to tell others of what they had encountered.

”Are you making a move yourself?” The young man did not seem to hold much respect towards the branch leader. He narrowed his eyes as he stroked his chin, deep in thought.

The youth had never paid much attention to Xue Wei, nor did he have any interest in why the branch leader was protecting him as if he was more important than his own life, but now he was somewhat curious.

What in the world had this foreigner promised the branch leader to make him motivated enough to make a move on his own?

The youngster was silent, but while he said nothing, his eyes flashed with various emotions.

There was no jealousy or envy, only contemplation. If this young man had something that even the branch leader valued and wanted, then naturally, he wanted it too.

As he held no loyalty towards the branch leader, the youngster wondered if he should take this foreigner for himself. He knew himself, and he was aware that he had no chance to go against the branch leader, but maybe if he took this unknown man away, then the branch leader would think that he had been consumed, or that his soul energy had dissipated?

In the ghost realm, the bodies were made from energy. If they died, their bodies would vanish. It was well known that those who vanished had actually been consumed by others.
