The man on the chair rose slowly with a grace that seemed to echo the elegance of ancient times. His movements carried a hint of respect towards Alex. Leaning forward slightly, he executed a perfect bow, then met Alex's gaze with an enigmatic smile. Alex responded to this gesture of courtesy with a subdued nod, maintaining his usual air of silence and mystery.
The man's smile revealed a profound understanding of Alex. His tone was filled with admiration, as if in his eyes, Alex was not just a mercenary group leader, but also a respected warrior. Every word he spoke seemed carefully chosen, aimed at expressing deep reverence for Alex, while also conveying his recognition and praise for Alex's strength.
"Hello, it's a pleasure to finally meet you, Alex, the leader of the Valkyrie mercenary group. Your reputation precedes you," his voice was gentle yet firm, carrying a subtle sense of reverence that was not easily detectable. "You exude the aura of a strong individual." This statement not only praised Alex's abilities but also implied recognition of his personal charm.
The tone and attitude created a more serious atmosphere in the room, yet it also carried a strange sense of warmth. Alex might have felt somewhat surprised by such deference. However, in the face of the man's flattering words, he felt a wave of displeasure. The sensation of being held in high regard made him uncomfortable, as if there were hidden intentions behind it all. His intuition told him that the seemingly refined man in front of him concealed unpredictable danger and mysteries. This made Alex feel uneasy, causing him to question whether his decision to visit was truly the right one.
However, as the leader of the Valkyrie mercenary group, Alex has become accustomed to facing various unknowns and challenges. Even though he may have regrets in his heart, he knows that now is not the time to retreat. With a determined look in his eyes and an unquestionable authority in his voice, he straightforwardly said to the man, "Let's end the boring conversation here... I'm here to talk business, right?"
This statement was like a splash of cold water on the warm atmosphere, instantly making the air in the room heavy. Alex's attitude clearly expressed that he did not want to continue with irrelevant small talk. He had a purpose in coming here, and that purpose was definitely not just to enjoy each other's praise. In Alex's view, time is precious, and every minute and every second should be spent on the edge, especially in their world full of danger and challenges. He hoped the other party would cut to the chase and start discussing the true purpose of this mysterious meeting.
When Alex firmly and directly expressed his position, the atmosphere suddenly became tense. The burly men beside the man, who had previously had calm and expressionless faces, showed a hint of anger. Their eyes became sharp, as if they felt that Alex's blunt words were too offensive, challenging their master's authority. At this moment, the air in the entire room seemed to congeal, as if it could erupt into an unpredictable conflict at any moment.
However, faced with such a tense situation, the man sitting in the high chair maintained his gentle and elegant smile, seemingly unaffected by the tense atmosphere around him. His smile carried a hint of tolerance and understanding, as if he could fully empathize with Alex's urgency and directness. The man gently waved his hand, indicating to the nearby bodyguard not to be too nervous, and then he kindly said to Alex, "Oh, it's my oversight, Mr. Alex, please have a seat first, so that we can quickly get to the point."
These words seemed to immediately ease the tension in the room. The expressions of the strong men gradually returned to calm, and Alex also nodded slightly, indicating his acceptance of the man's attitude and suggestion. With the mediation of this man, the imminent conflict was cleverly resolved, demonstrating not only his worldly wisdom but also hinting at the control he held in this mysterious meeting. As Alex sat down slowly, the man began to introduce himself in a gentle and elegant manner, causing a subtle shift in the atmosphere of the room once again. His voice was calm and firm, each word clearly conveying his identity: "Mr. Alex, I am Morgan Zoolander, the third chief worm handler of the True Worm Sect, and the guardian of the Endless Hall." This statement seemed to stir a wave in the air. With his self-introduction, the pressure in the room seemed to rise again, but this time it was due to shock rather than tension.
Upon hearing Morgan's name, Alex's face immediately became serious. He had come here out of curiosity about the meeting, but he had not expected the other party to be a senior worm handler in the True Worm Sect, second only to the Grand Wormmaster. The name True Worm Sect had long been known throughout the galaxy; they worshipped the mysterious and powerful Xyphos worms as divine beings. The Grand Wormmasters were directly appointed by the sect's pope, the Grand Wormmaster, and were responsible for leading the sect in various sacred missions.
The status of the third major worm master implies that Morgan has a tremendous influence within the True Worm Sect. The higher the number of the major worm master, the higher their status and power. The first major worm master is even seen as a potential successor to the next generation of the major worm. The fact that such a figure is meeting him here not only surprises Alex, but also makes him curious and wary of Morgan Zoolander's intentions.
Alex stands up, his attitude clear and firm, every word filled with deep disgust and distrust towards the True Worm Sect. His direct reaction not only expresses his rejection of Morgan Zoolander and what he represents, but also highlights his refusal of this unusual meeting: "Sorry, I don't want to get close to any of the lunatics from the True Worm Sect, and I don't want to talk to any of you brainwashed fools who like worms. Sorry, please go find someone else who likes worms."
Morgan The expressions on the strong men around him immediately changed from calm to obvious anger, with a hint of hostility flashing in their eyes as if they were ready to take action against Alex at any moment. However, Morgan Zoolander still maintained his usual smile, responding to Alex's provocation and rejection with unexpected calmness, even indifference.
This contrast heightened the tension in the entire room. Alex's frankness and bravery showcased his decisive character as the leader of the Valkyrie mercenary group, while also demonstrating his firm stance against extreme beliefs like the True Worm Sect. Morgan's reaction implied that he had other plans or purposes for the meeting. Even in the face of direct rejection and provocation, he maintained an unpredictable calm and smile, leaving people curious about his next actions or words.
