1430 No Medicine For Regrets.

Boss Alves had no idea what was Duke Humphery's end goal in creating fallen specters. No matter how hard he thought about it, he really couldn't figure out a legit reason to go this far.

In his eyes, Duke Humphery was actually risking his position as an Eathreal Elder by pulling this crap and if he was ever to be found, Lord Hades himself would deliver the punishment.

Still, he didn't dare ask him about it as he had no intentions of involving himself in this operation even deeper.

Alas, he had no clue that the moment he was brought down to oversee the negativity energy's harvesting process, he was already too deep to come out.

Three decades later, he was just as involved as Duke Humphery whether he wanted to admit it or not...

Back to the present...

"But, how did she escape from you? I thought your contracts were bulletproof?" Boss Alves asked about Karra.

"It was due to a lapse of judgment from me, a lapse that I have never made ever again." Duke Humphery replied, his eyes colder than usual.

"I see..."

While this didn't answer his question, Boss Alves knew when to stop pressing the matter. Right away, he switched the topic.

"I can ensure you that she will get kicked out of the heaven plane even if it's the last thing I do."

At this moment, Boss Alves wasn't even planning to do this for the sake of the duke, but for himself.

As the duke said, he was involved too deeply in the project and if things turned south, he had no way to save himself unless the duke came forward and admitted that he had forced him to carry his missions.

Boss Alves was certain that the duke wasn't going to take the fall by himself.

"Mmm."

Duke Humphery made a noise of acknowledgment and went to the main subject of the meeting.

"I received news from Sharky that our operations have successfully spread out to Elderguard and Midnight cities. The reception of becoming fallen specters turned out to be received with open arms by the most desperate dark and indigo spirits. He is asking for extra hands to help facilitate the process without raising alarms." Duke Humphery ordered, "Take care of it."

Black lines appeared on Boss Alves' forehead at the order, not pleased in the slightest.
