A New Storm Was Brewing

"Oh, by the way, I've prepared a surprise for you~"

Lillian took his arm and playfully stuck out her tongue. "Please come with me, Your His Highness Alvin."

Surprise?

Alvin was a little numb; he was almost developing PTSD from the words "surprise" and "gift"!

Lillian grabbed her arm and forcefully dragged her into a reception room. She was full of questions when Lillian forcibly pressed her into the host's seat.

What are you doing?

Alvin looked at her suspiciously. What was she up to now?

"It's a secret~" Lillian said mysteriously, then stood beside him, bent down, her hair falling beside her ear, and whispered in Alvin's ear, "I promise, it will surprise you!"

A cool breeze brushed against his ear, making Alvin shiver slightly. But as soon as he turned his head, he met a pair of affectionate emerald eyes.

Her eyes, as exquisite as jewels, held a pool of autumn water, reflecting only the image of one person.

If his gaze were to move down just a few inches, he could see a glimpse of soft, white skin. The dress she was wearing today had a conservative yet elegant neckline, but by bending over in this position, almost everything underneath was on full display!

This woman—she's so good at it!

Every smile and every action, seemingly normal, is actually carefully designed to stir one's heartstrings.

"Cough cough--"

Alvin coughed twice and immediately looked away, afraid that he would lose control if he looked for a few more seconds.

Seeing his reaction amused Lillian, who couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh, her eyes curving into crescents, but she was secretly overjoyed.

Just as Alvin was feeling awkward, the temperature in the room suddenly dropped significantly!

The air seemed to be filled with the pungent smell of blood. Despite the bright light from the huge crystal chandelier, a shadowy figure appeared in the room as if it were a ghost.

The shadow, as if alive, slowly sat down directly opposite.

Then, as Alvin's pupils constricted in shock, the shadow shed its darkness, revealing its true form.

She has an extremely alluring and provocative face, pale skin, and elfin-like pointed ears. She also has a very hot figure and is dressed in extremely revealing clothing.

However, these characteristics also revealed her identity: she was actually a female member of the Dark Eldar!

"Hey~ handsome human." The Dark Eldar opposite him licked her lips teasingly, revealing a seductive look, and gave him a flirtatious wink. "We met once before, do you remember me? Earl Anna Mord of the Night Owl."

"The Dark Eldar?!"

Alvin's pupils narrowed slightly, his killing intent mixed with Psychic Power, surging forth like a tidal wave!

The lights flickered, emitting a piercing sound like an electrical short circuit. A chilling aura froze the atmosphere, and dazzling Psykana Lightning seemed to make the air tremble. The terrifying aura was almost tangible!

"Is this how the Fernando Family treats its guests?"

However, faced with this immense Psychic Power, Earl Anna of the Night Owl, sitting across the long table, showed no sign of panic whatsoever.

A half-smile played on her lips as she turned her gaze to Lillian, who sat to her side. "He's the... new collaborator you mentioned? He doesn't seem too welcoming."

Upon hearing this, Alvin frowned, glanced at Lillian, and said in a slightly cold tone, "What exactly is going on? I need an explanation!"

"Your His Highness Alvin, please hear me out."

Lillian was quick-witted and immediately noticed Alvin's slight displeasure from his expression. She hurriedly explained, "Although Lloyd is dead, the Shadow Dome Council he founded still exists, and this person—is a member of it."

The Shadow Dome Council is still around?!

This news shocked Alvin greatly, leaving him somewhat incredulous. He frowned deeply and said, "But—wasn't the factory that manufactured the Daemon-infused Armor already destroyed?!"

He remembered clearly that he had the Dark Angels blow up the evil Forge Factory!

Logically, with Fernando losing this factory, the Shadow Dome Council he established would lose its value and be unable to provide the Daemon-infused Armor. What reason would the Dark Eldar, Orks, or Chaos Lord have to cooperate with Fernando?

"Although the factory for the Daemon-infused Armor has been destroyed, the Fernando Family is worth much more than just that one thing," Lillian smiled. "We've reached a new agreement. The Fernando Family will provide them with shelter, intelligence, resources, and so on, while the 'Night Owl' will be responsible for raiding and, if necessary..."

"Remove some obstacles for the Fernando Family."

"That's all?"

Alvin found it strange that the Dark Eldar's demands were so simple.

"Her only request is to see you."

Lillian lowered her head, a little embarrassed.

"You want to see me?" Alvin turned to look at the Earl of the Night Owl.

"You should be thanking me~" Anna lowered her long legs and leaned on the table, her chest pressed into a semi-circular shape, her alluring eyes fixed on Alvin's face. "If I had told Lloyd back then that you were Alvin Valshius, your plan wouldn't have gone so smoothly."

Do you know me?

Alvin was startled.

"Your price in Commorragh isn't low," Earl Anna raised an eyebrow, then sat down again. "But don't worry, I won't lay a hand on you. After all, I have a personal grudge against that Kabal's Archon."

"I understand." Alvin nodded, pondered for a moment, and said, "You want revenge against that Archon, am I right?"

"More or less... it's not really revenge."

Anna toyed with her nails and said calmly, "For us, revenge is also a game. I just want to turn him into my slave."

As she spoke, she looked at Alvin, licked her pale lips, and her eyes were full of desire. "Of course, if I could, I'd also like to make you my slave—the private kind. Interested in trying? I guarantee I'll make you feel like you're in heaven."

"Heh, if you're really that thirsty, I'll find you a Warboss of the Orks."

Despite the Dark Eldar's provocation, Alvin remained unmoved, coldly retorting, "They're bigger, they should satisfy your perverted appetite."

"That's boring~"

Seeing that her teasing had failed, Anna lost interest. "Anyway, this is the situation. We each get what we need. You help me deal with the Archon behind that conspiracy, and I'll help you deal with the enemies on the human side. Same as before, agree?"

How could he possibly refuse?

Alvin sighed deeply. He only wanted to be a legitimate Rogue Trader, but now it seemed he was getting further and further away from being legitimate.

Good news, he is now probably the most powerful person in the entire Calixis Sector.

But the bad news is... he's become the biggest heretic leader!

This dramatic outcome left Alvin both amused and exasperated, yet unable to refuse.

Well, although he became the "godfather of the underworld" and the biggest heretic on the Imperium's frontier, at least he himself was still very loyal.

Your Emperor Lord, you saw it all; he was forced into this situation!

Although he knew it wouldn't be of much use, Alvin still silently prayed a few times, hoping the Golden Throne could hear him.

Alvin wasn't sure if the Emperor Lord had heard it, but the "Navigator" system had.

The long-lost system voice rang in my mind!
