Living With My Lady Boss by Blue Silver novel Chapter 703

Just then, however, the corpse opened its eyes all of a sudden to stare at the crowd.

Isabella got a fright, ducking to hide behind Wilbur.

The man's expression was stern as he stood between the girl and Logan. Logan looked to be rearing to go, preparing for battle.

Saiba and his men looked intently at the Ark King.

The Ark King's eyes lit up with a deep red flame, and a peal of laughter escaped his dried lips to echo in the sprawling hall, sending chills down everyone's spines.

"I'm so happy you managed to get in here. Your lives are so much more worthy than those idiots'. I like it," the Ark King's mouth opened and closed, rasping out a welcome to Wilbur and the rest with an inhuman voice.

"What's going on here?" Isabella could not help but ask at last.

This was all very creepy to her, and she needed to know what was happening.

Wilbur said in a dark voice, "I think this old zombie's attracting lives for him to absorb so he can be revived completely."

The words made the Ark King's gaze move to land on Wilbur.

An ugly laugh escaped his mouth. "You're right, but you have no other choice now. I've waited a thousand years for this day to come. My army of death shall overtake the world, and the reign of the Ark King will continue to prosper. I shall live forever!"

"Yeah, in your f*cking dreams you will," Wilbur said coldly.

The man glanced at Wilbur, surprised. "You've got quite the nerve, haven't you."

"Yes, but I don't need you to tell me that to know it," Wilbur muttered, staring coldly at the Ark King.

The Ark King looked back at Wilbur. It seemed like he had been lonely for too long and was looking for someone to rant at. "I know you're all very curious, and I'll be happy to satiate that curiosity for you."

The crowd said nothing, only looking at the Ark King.

"Fifteen hundred years ago, I received this Scepter of Death." The Ark King stared at the scepter in his grasp, his gaze fond and dazed.

"I sacrificed the lives of the whole town to get the validation of the scepter, and to be bestowed its power," he sighed, before continuing, "Alas, my body was too weak at the time. I was attacked by the scepter's deathly aura and was tortured to no end. I almost died many times."
