Mutually scheming

After a brief round of introductions and pleasantries, Untold casually inquired, "I haven't seen you in a few days, Mr. Alexander, and you've already become the Ghost Emperor. You must have quite a few friends in Dark Hell to have ascended so rapidly."

"Fair enough," Alexander nodded. "I do have a knack for making friends. A few of them have been rather supportive."

"Your extensive network of friends is enviable, Mr. Alexander," Untold remarked. Yet internally, he was scheming about how to lure Alexander back to the First Ghost Realm. Once there, Alexander would be a caged beast, at their mercy.

"Untold Ghost Emperor, you're too kind. We are friends now, aren't we?" Alexander replied sincerely, even though what he was really pondering was how to manipulate Untold into inviting him to the First Ghost Realm.

"As the Chosen One, don't you feel confined in a place like Dark Hell?" Untold probed.
