Fifteen minutes ago…
Inside of Polemos's private spaceship…
Click! Click! Click!
A bunch of random buttons that Albion did not really know what they do were pressed.
At the sa ti, Cao Wudi stood on the side with his expression turn increasingly terrible to behold with many creases as he watched Albion fiddle around.
"Master, I think it is best if we find a pilot who actually knows what he is doing…" Cao Wudi suggested carefully.
Rumble!
Suddenly, the private spaceship's engine ignited, propelling the spaceship into space.
At the sa ti, a map appeared on-screen, outlining the route to Silvercove City on Earth from Damocles.
"Aha!" Albion exclaid before he said, "Why do we need a pilot? We're doing just fine. Have a little faith, will ya?"
'Will faith save my life?' Cao Wudi retorted in his mind.
Soti later, the spaceship accelerated and entered the Earth's atmosphere in no ti, causing the surface to heat up from friction with the air.
"Master… Don't you think we are entering the atmosphere a little too fast? Maybe we should slow down a little?" Cao Wudi suggested, thinking he would probably die if the spaceship ends up crashing at full speed.
However, shortly after, he regretted his suggestion.
His master does not even know the functions of each button. How would he know how to decelerate the spaceship?
"Hm, I suppose we are going a little too fast. Alright, give a mont," Albion casually before noticing a big, round, and red button that looked like the red traffic light for stopping.
"On second thoughts, the current pace is goo—"
Vroosh—!
Before Cao Wudi could finish speaking, Albion pressed the red button protected underneath its transparent glass casing before he instantly disappeared along with the main pilot seat, ejected from the spaceship.
"Eh?"
Albion's mind blanked for a mont at the sudden change in scenery as his body flipped through the air. Sotis, he saw the sky. At other tis, he saw the earth.
"Ah… so that was the ergency eject button…" Albion realized before he softly muttered, "This is kind of bad, isn't it?"
Of course, he was not talking about himself.
His True Immortal Body at 43-fold granted him physical strength equivalent to his True Immortal Cultivation and made his body as tough as grade-7 materials.
Only weapons forged by grade-8 materials and Golden Immortals could harm him.
However, it was a different story entirely if he was to talk about Cao Wudi…
Back inside the spaceship, Cao Wudi glanced at the missing pilot seat with a blank look before his face paled and went full-panic mode in the next mont.
"Master? Masterrrrrr!"
…
…
…
Present ti
"Actually, what?"
"Boss, please don't keep us in suspense."
The surrounding gang mbers urged Albion to continue as he vividly recalled what happened a mont ago.
"Ahem, don't worry about it," Albion coughed before asking casually, "What's the current situation of the gang?"
The gang mbers were pretty bumd that Albion did not explain further before he changed the topic, but once the question was raised, they imdiately put on serious looks.
"Boss, the situation is like this…"
Reagan Declan took the initiative to explain everything that had happened to the three gangs in the past two days to Albion.
After listening to everything, Albion muttered, "So we are back to square one, huh? No matter. Now that I am here, reclaiming everything will be as simple as taking candies from a kid."
"It's good that you are back, boss! Those people from the tti Gang have been too haughty!"
"Right! With the boss on our side, we can finally teach them a lesson!"
"Long live the boss!"
"Just call Young Master Albion," Albion instructed as the gang mbers cheered in celebration. They were all—well, almost all of them were excited by his return.
"Yes, Young Master Albion!"
"Yes, Young Master Albion!"
They shouted in unison before Albion noticed a gang mber, who did not share the sa excitent as the rest of the three gangs, sitting in the corner with an absent look.
Albion gestured for silence and made his way over to the gang mber before asking the person, "What's wrong? Are you not happy with my return?"
"Of course, I am! It's just that…" The gang mber did not explain further before letting out a long and drawn-out depressed sigh, "Haiz…"
"What's wrong with him?" Albion turned to the side and inquired from another gang mber wearing a black cap.
"Well, it's like this, boss…" The black-capped gang mber proceeded to explain, "After we lost everything, so of us managed to find so odd jobs to support the gang. Michael Dao here managed to score a job at the morgue."
"The morgue, huh?" Albion muttered.
He did not doubt that many people must have died during the first outbreak of the Dinsional Rift in Silvercove—even if the death count was just a fraction of the city's total population.
"So he lost soone he knew, huh?"
"Yes, boss." The black-capped mber nodded before adding, "To be exact, he saw his ex-girlfriend's body brought into the morgue the other day."
"She was quite a b*tch for dumping him without warning and leaving him for a wealthy man 2 years ago. However, it seems our brother, Michael Dao, here, still has yet to move on. I think it was after that incident that he joined the underworld business…"
"I see… so he is a cuck—Ahem, I an oh, no! That's unfortunate!" Albion coughed before giving the person a sympathetic look.
In tis like this, he should console the person, right? Well, he did not know how to comfort a person. Cheer him up? That could work.
Albion patted Michael Dao's shoulder before cracking a joke, "Ahh… your ex was still giving you the silent treatnt, eh?"
"…"
"No? Hmm, the cold shoulders?"
"…"
"Oh, I know. She ghosted you?"
"…"
Very shortly, Michael Dao broke into tears and began weeping, causing Albion to furrow his brows with dark lines while rubbing his forehead with distress.
Seems like he had no talent in this field.
"Boss… That was so dark and an… but I like it, bahaha!" Reagan Declan guffawed before waltzing over and giving Michael Dao a good smack on the back.
"When are you going to stop sulking over the harlot's death, Michael? Your feelings are wasted on her.. Get over it, mate."
