Chapter 768: Each with their own problem II

Eve would have hugged him tight if it wasn't for the crowd around her. She couldn't care less about what the world was saying about Ghost. To her, he was the only one who helped her and her family when they needed help the most. He might be the Dark Lord to the world, but to her, he was her best friend. Michael's warm smile spoke more than words.

"Should I address you, the Dark Lord as everyone else?" asked Eve.

"You know what, I will. After all, I decided to join your order,"

Michael knew better than to argue with her. To be honest, he was happy she made her decision to follow him. She chose him over her family and everyone she knew. That kind of friendship really warmed Michael's heart.

"I won't stop you then," Michael smiled.

Many of the subordinates saw Michael smile for the first time. It was a pity Eve couldn't absorb the Cosmic energy. Regardless, she reached the Fusion stage with Michael's abundant supply of potions and pills.

"Don't let me stop your meeting. Carry on," said Eve as Michael nodded and turned his gaze to Gibson. After absorbing the Cosmic energy, even Gibson was able to break through into the Fusion stage.

"Dark Lord, Dark Queen," Gibson bowed toward Gaya and Michael,

"My fellow members of the order," Gibson showed respect toward the other members with the bow.

"I've been hunting down the rogue pirate ships as you ordered me to. Since I was blessed with the title of King of the Skies, I received enough supplies to build our very first airship. It's far from complete, but the construction is going on full swing. If I may ask, Dark Lord, I'd like our own shipyard to build our airships," Gibson requested Michael.

Gaya already mentioned to him Gibson was asking for a dedicated shipyard. Since they promised Gibson they would help him command an air force, Michael was obliged to build Gibson more airships. But to build them, they needed special shipyards instead of the shipyards used to build ships that sail on water.

Luckily, the floating mountain came with an enormous amount of land. Michael could build an airship yard if he allocated enough gold coins to Gibson.

'Finish the first airship, and then you will have your own airship yard," said Michael.

"So have you come across any of these unknown ships that Corey mentioned?" asked Michael.

"Yes, Dark Lord. but the results were the same. Slippery bastards killed themselves and set fire to their ship before we could get to them,"

Michael rubbed his chin,

"Do the same as I told Corey. If you spot one, contact me ASAP,"

Gibson nodded. Michael then looked at Sadie as he wanted to hear how Sadie was doing.

"Sadie,"

Sadie cleared her throat before speaking.

"With my Fusion stage cultivation level, I am in the top five to become the next sect leader," Sadie proudly said.

"Who's on the selection board? Have any ideas?" asked Gaya. Sadie's eyes widened. Just the Dark Queen's look was enough for Sadie to know what she was planning.

Sadie was speechless. But under the Dark Queen's piercing gaze, Sadie had no choice but to tell her the truth.

"Elders, Sect Leader, and an ancestor of the Silvermoon founder," said Sadie.

"This ancestor, how strong is he?" asked Gaya.

"Immortal," said Sadie.

Michael thought about Sadie's selection for a few moments. Although Sadie was proving to be a valuable asset, she could help him more if she was to become the Sect Leader.

"How confident are you to make the final cut?" asked Michael. Sadie hesitated for a moment which told Michael she wasn't hundred percent confident. In other words, she needed his help. To Sadie's surprise, Gaya had a strange smile on her face.

"Who is the most likely to become the next sect leader?" asked Gaya.

"Klara, Klara Galjanic. The Guardian guild is backing her,"

"Then let us worry about making you the next Sect Leader," said Gaya. She had already formed a plan in her mind. These little things were beneath Michael's attention. Hence, he let Gaya or someone else take care of it. After Sadie, Michael decided to talk to Aria. While he was in the Genric family, Gaya recruited rogue cultivators, adventurers, and some soldiers who deserted and turned them into fledgling assassins. Under Gaya's training and Michael's guidance, they became deadly assassins in no time. However, they still had a long way to go. These recruits were put under Aria and functioned as the new Assassin Guild.

Whenever a member of the order needed someone out of their way, they just had to contact Aria, and she would take care of the rest. If she was tasked to kill someone stronger than her, then she would request Gaya's aid. Until now, Aria had never failed a contract put on someone.

"I have almost nothing to report, Dark Lord," said Aria. It wasn't a surprise since Aria was tasked to search and kill. Most of the time, she would be in the floating mountain, training with her team. Michael simply nodded. Now that he had returned, Michael allocated some time to train Aria to make her a better assassin.

After Aria, Dular began to report to Michael.

"I am currently working on transforming a typical undead into an alpha undead. Thanks to the King of War and King of the Southern continent, I've been getting an ample supply of criminals," Dular said with a devilish grin. As he said, Tiberius and Caius secretly teleported criminals and scumbags in the Southern continent to the Crypt, where Dular transformed them into undead.

With the vampires and their blood samples. Dular was on the verge of creating a new breed of undead. Unfortunately, he needed more resources, such as gold coins and runes from Elidyr. His research was like a black hole that kept sucking gold coins more and more. Anyone would have stopped funding Dular a long time ago. However, Gaya saw potential in his research. Hence, she kept funding their research.

"Dark Lord, we need space for our undead army. The forest is running out of space,"

"Let me guess, you want your own pocket dimension," Michael chuckled.

"I will certainly appreciate it, Dark Lord," Dular scratched the back of his head.

"I bet you will," said Gaya.

After Dular, Michael continued talking to each subordinate of his. They all had their own needs and requests except Maxine. She had state-of-the-art mining equipment to mine arch energy crystals. With Mugashuku's blessing, they mined deeper into stormville mountain. Every shipment was directly teleported to the dark ocean via a portal.

Titus and Optimus established a store that deals in information. They used the store to buy and sell information. It wasn't a new idea in this world. For instance, Lord Information dealt exclusively with information. Titus and Optmius were interested in information regarding special items, artifacts, and powerful objects. They also made connections throughout Elon and Ozer to acquire rare goods for the order.

Michael spent almost two hours with his subordinates. After the meeting, Gaya went to another hall to initiate new members into the order, including Eve. While she was with the new recruits, Michael headed outside, looking for someone. When he reached outside, he leaped into the air. In a few blinks of an eye, Michael reached the top of the waterfall. Unlike the first time he came, now the place was littered with colorful flowers and plants. The air smelled lilac and roses. He walked along the stream, enjoying the fragrance in the air.

Eventually, Michael reached a tiny pond surrounded by red orchids. He saw a little girl meditating before the pond. Her ears slightly twitch after hearing Michael's footsteps. The little girl abruptly opened her eyes. Michael patiently waited for her to turn around.

"Brother Ghost!"

The little girl shouted with pure joy. She hopped toward Michael like a bunny and crashed into him.

"Cindy," Michael lifted the girl by her arms and kissed her soft bubbly cheek. She showered Michael with kisses. Despite what everyone said about Ghost, Raylene took Cindy and her brother Rumy and arrived at the floating mountain with Ricky and Daniel.

Raylene knew better than many how kind-hearted Ghost was. Even If he was evil, she would wholeheartedly follow him to hell. Ever since then, Raylene had been living on the floating mountain with Cindy. She served Michael as the castle chef.

With the abundance of resources and Gaya's guidance, Cindy had reached Core formation stage level 6.

"Where have you been? People said so many bad things about you, brother Ghost," Cindy purred, resting her head on his shoulder.

"Did you believe any of it?" asked Michael.

"Nope. I know my brother,"

"Every coin has two sides, Cindy. They do not know why I did what I did," said Michael. Cindy was not a little girl anymore. She was growing up, and Michael wanted her to face reality rather than live in ignorance.

"I know," Cindy pecked him on the cheek.

Michael carried Cindy on his shoulder and strolled around the mini garden. Spending time with Cindy was a breath of fresh air after the intense meeting with the Order. Since Cindy had reached the Core Formation stage, he taught her how to fly. They flew across the skies until Michael was called to the castle by Adelia.

They thought they were going to surprise Michael with a feast. But he could smell Raylene's cooking from a mile away. Still, Michael pretended to be surprised for the sake of Gaya and Raylene.
