Chapter 358: Chapter 291: Revenge from Ten Thousand Years Later!_2

“Really? Mo Ga Ru doesn’t even know about this?” she asked with great interest.

“I don’t even want to mention it to him, my lord,” Shen Ye said.

“Baxter… you really are a headache…”

“My lord, give me a chance to come back and help you!”

The sound of the flute now carried a lively and vibrant note.

Charlotte listened to the melodious flute, recalling the worthless minions she had just killed and then looking at the vampire Baxter before her.

She swirled her wine glass, murmuring, “Six ancient corpses… Can you really get them? Those are of the ‘Deep Sea’ level.”

“Leave it to me, my lord,” Shen Ye said.

—With the Sealing Art Spirit of the Great Tomb on her person, accompanied by her, dealing with a few ancient corpses was a small matter, wasn’t it?

Or maybe just treat them as “canned food” to throw to Nine Aspects for him to deal with!

Upon hearing this, Charlotte looked again at Shen Ye’s confident demeanor and finally became interested.

It wasn’t just the six ancient corpses that appealed to her.

She knew Baxter was competent before—

But she didn’t know he was this competent.

After the comparison, him coming back now not only showed his loyalty, but also his talent once again.

—Then let’s go meet Mo Ga Ru.

“Just wait for me a moment, I’ll be back shortly,” Charlotte said.

“Yes, my lord,” Shen Ye responded.

Charlotte glanced at Shen Ye, then turned her gaze to Karula.

Hmm…

Actually, there’s no problem.

But just to be on the safe side—

She lifted her hand and pressed it towards Karula through the air.

A cage made entirely of blood instantly appeared, trapping Karula within.

“She is my prey; don’t touch her.”

“Understood—but my lord, what do you plan to do with her? Maybe I can be of assistance.”

“…I want to find out from her the whereabouts of Earth Mother; she is Earth Mother’s emissary and must know about it.”

After saying that, Charlotte’s physique vanished into the void.

Shen Ye turned his gaze towards Karula.

Only to see that Karula was also looking at him.

At the same time.

The Royal Palace.

Mo Ga Ru sat high on his throne, listening to his subordinate’s report.

“Progress on various fronts has come to a halt.”

“My lord, let me handle it. That Baxter is truly incapable; until now, he hasn’t come to take charge of his duties.”

Hearing the subordinate’s words, Mo Ga Ru hesitated.

Baxter—

That shouldn’t be; he is capable of doing the job. Why hasn’t he come yet?

As he wondered, someone suddenly reported that the Prince of the Human Race sought an audience.

The Prince of the Human Race?

“Your Highness, you scheduled a feast to welcome him; that was the arrangement yesterday. The banquet is ready,” the subordinate said hastily.

A banquet.

Hmph, what’s with the feast? Just kill him, install a puppet, much less hassle.

“No need, let him come directly here,” Mo Ga Ru said.

Shortly after.

Norton was brought before Mo Ga Ru.

“How do you find staying in Eternal Night City?” Mo Ga Ru made small talk.

“Your Highness, it was Long Wu Baxter who sent me here,” Norton said.

“What did you say?” Regent Mo Ga Ru couldn’t help but ask.

“It was Long Wu Baxter who introduced me to this place. He convinced me, and now I will follow your lead alongside him,” Norton said as he bowed.

Mo Ga Ru paused for a moment.

…To take the Prince of the Human Race, all of the Human Race would submit to him without him needing to exert any effort in conquest.

Any treasures and resources produced by the Human Race in the future would belong to him.

—Baxter had done this without making a sound.

Compared to that, setting up a puppet meant dealing with insidious resistance and incompetence from within the Human Race, along with various rebellions.

For the Royal Family to directly depend on him, that is the most ideal situation!

“How did you meet Long Wu Baxter?”

Mo Ga Ru asked, curious.

“We have known each other for a long time; we’re friends who have gone through life and death together. He is loyal to you, and I am willing to maintain the same stance,” Norton said.

Known each other for a long time…

Mo Ga Ru no longer wanted to continue asking.

Actually, this was typical of Baxter’s way of doing things!

He always brings surprises!

“Hahaha, Prince Norton, I assure you, your choice is absolutely correct,” Mo Ga Ru said as he waved his hand.

“Someone, escort the prince to the banquet. I will join shortly!”

“Yes!”

Two subordinates took Norton away.

“Everyone else, leave.”

The rest of the people withdrew.

Only Mo Ga Ru was left in the great hall.

He spoke into the silent void:

“You’ve been avoiding me lately, haven’t you? Why have you suddenly decided to show yourself?”

A woman’s voice echoed from the void: “I don’t like others seeing my true form.”

“Are you saying this is the real you?” Mo Ga Ru asked.

The void flashed.

Marchioness Charlotte appeared in the great hall.

“Do you think this version of you, absorbed in thought, is the real you?”

She asked in a mocking tone.

“Then, which version of me is the real me?” Mo Ga Ru asked.

“This busy, thoughtful, fighting, and conversing you is merely the outermost layer of desire reflecting yourself. The real you is drowned in trivial matters. You need to find him, Mo Ga Ru,” Marchioness Charlotte said.

—Madness.

Mo Ga Ru shook his head silently, but his face remained composed as he said:

“What is your purpose in finding me?”

Charlotte said, “It’s about Baxter.”

“Which Baxter? My subordinate, or that Diva?” Mo Ga Ru asked.

“You know about Diva Baxter?” Charlotte inquired.

“I do; I heard he was driven out of Eternal Night City by his brother. That’s a trivial matter; did it warrant a special visit from you?” Mo Ga Ru questioned, puzzled.

Staring at him, Charlotte suddenly burst into loud laughter.
