A random woman he’d encountered on the way turned out to be so powerful.
‘Am I a man with limited outlook? Should I summon the dark demonic lotus?’
Alex abandoned the idea for the time being. Although Madame Rouge wore black clothes, she seemed slightly friendlier than Lady Black Lotus. Lady Black Lotus was someone who wanted to turn him into her slave. What should he do if she was a golddigger? Certainly, he wouldn’t be able to satisfy her, he thought.
On the contrary, satisfying Madame Rogue seemed possible.
He would be fine as long as he mined them for her. Another point was that he knew nothing, being here for the first time. It seemed he could find out many things if he contacted these people.
“Madame Rouge, I’m willing to mine for you. I am an innate miner,” said Alex without dignity.
“Heh! You are quite tactful!” Madame Rouge smiled, but she slapped Alex hard the next second across the face. The smack was loud, clear, and sounded painful.
“Do you think a weakling like you can call me Madame Rouge?”
‘D*mn you, b*tch!’ Alex cursed her.
Alex’s suppressed rage surged to the top as he hadn’t been slapped for many years.
‘This is not over! Just you wait!’
After that, Alex and Bea were dragged onto the ship and locked in an isolation room with restrictions cast on them. The cultivation of their entire bodies was sealed, and they could not even move their hands and feet. They felt heavy all over their bodies once they moved casually as if countless vines had been tied to their bodies. Then, he realized that both of them were not alone in the isolation room of the ship.
There were another three women and five men. Basically, they were in a similar state.
When these eight people saw Alex and Bea getting thrown inside, they all looked in shock at the two of them. Someone asked, “Did Madam Rouge capture you two as well? Where are you mining masters from?”
“Mining masters? What is that?” Alex asked, puzzled.
But as the name implied, he knew the mining master must have had something to do with mining.
“You don’t even know what a mining master is? Why were you captured?”
“We are not mining masters, but indeed, we are captured to mine,” Alex said with a smile.
Bea was indiscreet. Upon hearing those words, she asked quickly, “What happened to all of them?”
That man glanced at Bea. He probably thought she was young, so he said politely, “All of them went crazy!”
“They went crazy?” Alex was shocked this time. He then asked, “What kind of ore are we going to mine?”
The previous woman answered, “Witch Essence. One pound of Witch Essence equals one thousand pounds of Witch Ore.”
“That powerful?”
They stayed in the cabin for an unknown time. Eventually, someone else was thrown in along the way.
Alex was shocked when he saw this person because he knew her. She was none other than Empress Ghast.
“Alex?”
“Empress, why have you also come in?”
