Chapter 648 Veil of Shadows
Aldred, sword still drawn, couldn't help but scoff at the colossal holographic Elder. He leaned on his sword, looking unimpressed.
"Well, thanks for the warm welcome," he said with a wry smile. "If I knew we were crashing an Elder party, I would've brought a gift. Maybe a nice fruit basket or a coupon for '10% off your next intergalactic adventure.'"
The holographic Elder remained stoic, its expression unchanging. The crew exchanged glances, unsure of how to react to Aldred's irreverent humor in the face of such a formidable presence.
Aldred continued, gesturing grandly to the alien machinery surrounding them. "Nice place you got here, by the way. Very... ominous. But you might want to consider some redecorating. Maybe throw in a few houseplants or some mood lighting."
Salamander suppressed a chuckle, while Shinari and Elralya exchanged amused glances.
Shuzib, on the other hand, was confused. "Does he act like this often?"
