The Rejuvenation Hall was often used by Gilbert to heal and recuperate. It was one of the forbidden areas that was closed off to even his most trusted subordinates. Why was a human who had just slaughtered a powerful official of the Shura Race allowed to enter it? The several other subordinates felt they must have misinterpreted what they heard.
"Is there any problem?" Gilbert demanded with a frown.
"No." Aldo quickly shook his head. Then he walked towards Rocky, held him up, and turned into a purple orange light whizzing through the sky.
Meanwhile, a brilliant light suddenly appeared out of nowhere with a slash of Gilbert's right hand. It immediately swallowed the Mystical Dragon Sword in his hand.
He then turned around to walk towards his subordinates and whispered something.
They looked at him in surprise upon hearing his words.
"Once you've dealt with it, return to the Ghost Capital. I'll report to the royal family first!" Gilbert commanded before he disappeared from where he stood.
The subordinates gazed at each other, and soon rushed towards Jonathan's minions. The poor minions were slaughtered in the blink of an eye. Blood flowed like crimson rivers and pained screams could be heard all around.
In no time, the minions became corpses. They would never know why they died!
The several subordinates cleaned up the scene and burned all of the dead minions, humans, and beasts around the door to the alien world. They then returned to the Ghost Capital.
A few hours later, Aldo and Rocky flew into the sky above the Ghost Capital. They looked down at the city which closely resembled the human race's capital. The prosperous streets, the endless buildings, the continuous stream of Shura Race members who came and went and who were clad in strange outfits weren't hard to miss.
Under Gilbert's rule, the Ghost Capital was the main city of the Ghost Fief.
Not long after, Aldo and Rocky swooped down from the air and entered Gilbert's mansion. It was located in the center of the capital and was heavily guarded.
Once Aldo and Rocky showed up, an old man dressed like a steward of the mansion appeared with several members. Realizing the unexpected visitor was Aldo, the old man immediately cupped his hands and said, "Master Aldo! Didn't you leave with our leader? Why have you returned alone?"
"I was ordered by our leader to bring this man back! You arrived just in time, Steward Peter. Have Esteban check on his injuries. If there's nothing serious, send him to the Rejuvenation Hall. Have some guards watch him like hawks…" Aldo replied with an impassive look.
"Rejuvenation Hall? Isn't that where our leader lives? Who is this man?" the steward asked as he shot Rocky a bewildered look.
"I don't know, but that's what the leader ordered," Aldo replied indifferently.
"I see. Send him to Esteban and tell him that he is to be returned to our leader," Peter commanded the other servants behind him swiftly.
The servants immediately took Rocky from Aldo and carried him to the Ghost Palace where Esteban resided.
