The Fake Heiress Turns Out to Be a True Tycoon! novel Chapter 1206

Chapter 1206: Chapter 1206: Extra Story: Ivan & Zaraiah 2

Gazing once more at the documents before him, Zaraiah remained silent for a long moment, then suddenly pulled out two of the documents, stood up, and vanished from the Underworld in a stride.

Ghost Tower.

Ivan had just returned from the Underworld when he sensed a familiar presence entering the Ghost Tower.

Frowning, Ivan gave the nearby wall a small kick,

"It’s supposed to be a headquarters building, yet anyone can come in. What’s the point of having you here?"

His kick was light, but the wall bulged outward, as if expressing a hint of grievance, and then the bulge receded and the wall turned hazy. In the next moment, the entire wall disappeared.

As the wall vanished, Ivan saw Zaraiah standing on the other side.

Ivan sat straight down on a sofa beside and asked,

"Why are you here again?"

Zaraiah seemed unaffected by his attitude, approached, and handed him the two documents,

"I came to deliver these documents that I’ve processed for you first."

Previously, Scarlett Jennings had not been wrong in her observations.

Indeed, half of the documents on Zaraiah’s desk were related to spiritual affairs.

After all, Zaraiah was not unfamiliar with handling Ivan’s work, and was somewhat adept at it.

In the past, Ivan had kept spiritual affairs and the Underworld very separate and wouldn’t ask Zaraiah unless necessary.

Perhaps because Shu’e was once again suppressed back into the Misfortune Cave, easing an obsession of several thousand years, Ivan’s attitude had clearly softened, and Zaraiah’s visits increased.

Ivan looked at the documents in his hands but didn’t take them. He just snorted lightly,

"You, a dignified Lord Yama, handling such trivial deliveries?"

Besides, if you’re doing errands, making a special trip just to deliver two documents, isn’t that just trickery?

Zaraiah didn’t get angry. He placed the documents on the coffee table in front of Ivan, his composure unbroken,

"These are special cases of spiritual affairs applications, and I thought you might be anxious to have someone handle them."

Ivan narrowed his eyes and gave him a deep glance without further comment, casually picking up one of them.

At the touch of his finger on a special rune on the document, the document opened, and the contents projected automatically before Ivan’s eyes.

It was an application to adjust the year-end bonus payments.

Everyone knew that opening the global spiritual network forcefully and helping Samuel Chalmers build the canopy had left spiritual affairs somewhat destitute.

It was normal for those in charge below to want to adjust year-end awards to save costs.

But the problem was, there were still over a month left before the year-end bonus was to be distributed...

In terms of either content or urgency, it hardly qualified as "urgent."

Ivan then looked at Zaraiah, his eyes hauntingly laden with questions, silent yet expressive.

Zaraiah had been Lord Yama for millennia; he certainly wouldn’t feel guilty over such petty matters. He replied, maintaining his composure,

"Employee benefits are important; they concern whether the morale remains stable under these special circumstances."

"Heh..."

Ivan sneered, at least Zaraiah covered it up.

He then clicked open the other document.

It was just an ordinary spiritual affairs order application.

And such orders were the least conspicuous in spiritual affairs.

This one made it to the special application list because the applicant was an ordinary person.

Neither a ghost cultivator nor a master, nor a member of the Demon Clan, just an ordinary person with no spiritual power whatsoever.

Yet somehow, such a person managed to place an order with spiritual affairs.

And the order content was quite peculiar—

This person was requesting spiritual affairs staff to help him kill a man named Emmett Atkins.

As the document opened, the orderer’s and Emmett Atkins’s information also appeared automatically in the void.
