Lord MMORPG: The Demon Progenietor

Chapter 81 Right in front of me

'What the hell is going on?' Xander thought inwardly as he saw his dad enter into the store.

It was now surrounded by members of Terrox all dressed in red, wielding advanced life-threatening weapons.

The man in front of him, with his shades still on just said, "Sometimes kid, the answer you're looking for might be right in front of you."

Xander didn't pay any attention to the man's words as he wanted to head towards his father but then someone dressed in white walked past him.

'Huh? What's this old man doing?' Xander thought and as he was about to stand up he heard striking word.

"Hello brother!"

Xander was immediately stunned!

Ciel frowned and he looked at the man in white shirt and white jeans who wore sun glasses.

"Alexander. Our brotherhood ended when you strayed from the arcane path. But now you have to stop the madness or else you'llface the consequences." Ciel said with a frown on his face but immediately Alexander began to laugh.

"Hahahahaha... Do you think all of your weapons are enough to stop me?"

'What the fuck is going on here?' Xander understood that if his dad came this man must be very important or he must be very dangerous.

"Alas. I have to go now cause I have an appointment at two with Marie." The old man said with a smirk, knowing that he would trigger Ciel.

"YOU BASTARD!!!" Ciel jumped towards Alexander with his hand stretched out to grab, but Alexander, with his smirk brought out something from his pocket and with a shattering sound the thing broke.

As Ciel's hand touched Alexander he vanished... never to be seen again.

That was the moment Xander stood up. He just realised that he was a little bit too calm. But then he just drank a full cup of calming tea.

"What just happened?" He mumbled.

His father too was confused as he touched Alexander before the man dissapeared.

He sighed before saying, "He has gotten stronger."

Experience new tales on empire

"What does that mean?"

Ciel turned to look at Xander as be answered:

"If we don't find him soon we'll be too late."

Xander of course, understood the meaning of what his father was saying... but he had to confirm.

"You're saying that, that man was a ghoulshipper?" Xander really hoped it wasn't true. 'I hope they're brothers that have to settle a feud.'

But Xander wasn't in for satisfaction.

"He's not just one them. He's the leader."

...

After that situation in the bar and calming tea scenario Xander left the place with the rest of Terrox in one of their jets.

He couldn't still believe that such a nice man Commited a mass murder through a game and is still doing it.

After the effects of the tea had worn off Xander couldn't help but feel enraged as that 'nice' man held his mother captive.

'He was right in front of me. If I knew I would've grabbed him.' But the truth was that he didn't know.

He visited Harry's house the next day.

Pressing the doorbell Xander silently waited for a reply.

"Brother Xan!!" Little Eve jumped on him as soon as she saw him.

"My little Eve. How are you doing?" Xander smiled lightly.

"Hope you haven't been troubling your brother?"

"Hmmm. Brother left a few days ago with sister Hannah."

Xander was immediately confused by her words but before he could say anything else Harry's parents came from inside the room.

"Xander? Why are you staying at the door? Come in." Mrs Neo said with a warm smile.

After he was sitted in the living room Mr Neo immediately called him.

"Xander. How have you been doing son?"

"I'm good Mr Neo, and you?" Xander said hurriedly.

"Ah. Ever since you guys saved us we've been living pretty good."

"Yes yes. Where's Harry and Sandra?" Xander cut to the chase as he didn't want Mr Neo to start the usual thirty minute unnecessary talk.

"Oh they went back into the game. They said something about saving life stones." Mr Neo said in confusion.

'Of course. They too think that the ghoulshippers have been eradicated.' He facepalmed. 'I'm not lacking life stones at the moment and mine can currently last me for a few months. Let's see if this works.'

Xander cleared his throat as he said, "Status."

In that moment, a translucent blue screen appeared in front of him.

[Status blocked by ***]

[Life stones remaining - 89]

'I can't see my status when I'm on earth huh. I'm also guessing that this game world is Crinos. I wonder where it is.' Xander thought.

"Are you okay?" A voice snapped and Xander looked up to see everyone in the parlor looking at him.

"Oh I'm fine. I need to head back to meet my dad, looks like I'll go back soon." Xander said as he stood up.

He really didn't have anything to do and he was just wasting his life stones slepping and waking up so he decided that he's going to actively participate in the search.

The next day he met his father and his father agreed. He set out with two new faces along with Natasha and Yukimura.

They traveled past cities, using their advanced Level scanners to look for any hidden hideouts but they couldn't find one.

...

More than a month passed and Xander still had no clue about the whereabouts of the ghoulshippers base.

Since they couldn't find anything he took a flight back to his own city new York and when he came down from the plane he let out a deep sigh.

'It's been a month and still no clue on the location of the ghiulshippers. And also no movements from them either.' He pondered.

Soon a car picked him up and then they drove into an abandoned building which led down to the under-base.

After meeting with his father and discussing he immediately told his father what he planned to do.

"I understand that but be careful. I hear that that world is very dangerous." Xander's dad said.

Yes, he wanted to head back into the game world Crinos to see how his things are going and also to meet his friends.

"I'll be back in a few weeks."
