Building A Business Empire From Scratch In Another World

Chapter 173 : Argument

THREE DAYS LATER

-------------------------

BOOOOOM!

The massive door swung open with a resounding crash, and a group of intimidating figures swaggered into the hall, their arrogant and contemptuous smiles sending chills down the spines of everyone present.

At the forefront stood a tall, gaunt man draped in a flowing black robe that seemed to swallow him whole.

He was so thin that it felt like a gust of wind could whisk him away at any moment.

His pale face, framed by dark shadows, featured piercing red eyes and a sharp hook nose that exuded an unsettling aura, one that made it hard to meet his gaze directly.

"Who are you?" Aegnor stepped forward, his voice steady but laced with caution.

The rest of the Morningstar Adventurer Team flanked him, their expressions tense and vigilant. Melian had already drawn her bow, its string taut like the crescent moon ready to unleash an arrow.

The thin man remained silent for a moment, his red eyes boring into Aegnor with an ominous glint of killing intent.

"Who are you people? How dare you barge into our headquarters like this?" Aegnor pressed again, his patience wearing thin.

"I'm the Fifth Captain of the Battle Wolves Adventurer Team," he finally replied coolly.

Aegnor and Melian exchanged wary glances; their expressions shifted slightly as they processed this revelation.

"You're from the Battle Wolves Adventurer Team?" Aegnor asked incredulously.

"Yes," came the curt nod from the thin man. "Since you know who we are, I trust you also understand why we're here?"

"What are you talking about?" Aegnor shot back defensively.

"Don't play dumb," he retorted darkly. "Three days ago, north of Twilight Mountain Range, your Morningstar Adventurer Team clashed with us. Thousands of our members vanished without a trace, including one of our Captains and several high-ranking figures. We have no idea whether they're dead or alive, but here you stand unscathed isn't that interesting ."

"Hmmm!" The thin man's eyes narrowed as he scrutinized Aegnor intently while scanning the entire hall.

After a few tense moments filled with silence, he waved his hand dismissively again before leaving swiftly with his men without uttering another word.

"Huuu!" Once they left, Aegnor and Melian exchanged glances filled with relief.

Melian's hands trembled as she wiped the sweat from her brow, her heart racing.

She turned to Aegnor, bitterness lacing her voice. "That guy is incredibly strong! His eyes, it's like they belong to a poisonous snake. It's terrifying!"

Aegnor shook his head, a bittersweet smile tugging at his lips. "You're not alone in feeling that way."

After a moment of silence, Melian asked, "Do you think they'll believe our story?"

Aegnor paused, contemplating their precarious situation. "There are definitely some holes in our story, but it's believable enough. Besides, we were the only ones there when everything went down." Stay connected with empire

"But what if they try to use other methods to extract information? Especially from the members who witnessed it all," Melian said anxiously.

"Don't worry," Aegnor reassured her with a wave of his hand. "The Captain and the Vice Captain big brother and have already taken care of that."

"Oh," Melian nodded slowly, relief washing over her.

"Hey Aegnor," she continued with admiration sparkling in her beautiful green eyes, "I didn't expect the Captain and the Vice Captain big brother that they are always tallking about, to be so strong!"

"Yeah," Aegnor sighed, shaking his head in disbelief. "He literally wiped the floor with that Tier 8 Mythic Knight like it was nothing."

"Truly impressive!" Melian mused dreamily.

Aegnor glanced at her and chuckled softly. "Alright, let's change the subject for now. Let's just hope the Captain is doing alright."

"Agreed," Melian replied as she scanned the hall filled with their comrades. "Alright everyone! Let's get back to our daily routines! Remember: The Captain and Vice Captain will be fine! We must all quickly try to become strong during this time, no slacking off! Understand?"

"Yes!" The members of the Morningstar Adventurer Team shouted in unison, their voices echoing throughout the hall.
