Host, Please Be Honest! What Exactly Are You?

Their greatest weakness.

See them, break their illusion, weaken them.

Those simple words seem to hold absolute power within them.

And Butler Sheng continuously mumbled these words again while recalling the name of the creatures.

Nightmare Ghouls!

What a gruesome name that scared even him.

Of course, it wasn\'t just him, as everyone\'s heart seemed to stop in horror while imagining what could\'ve happened if the Grandmaster hadn\'t shown up so timely.

Luckily, it was all over.

Like so, the family of 4 secretly breathed out heavily in relief.

But soon again, they all entered panic mode yet again... Especially Chiyou\'s mother.

"Gr-grandmaster! Grandmaster... This is the end of it all, right? You killed those things off, so we are safe now, yeah?"

"..."

-Silence-

Everyone felt a wave of acid build up within them while waiting for Dorian\'s answer.

Their eyes widened with full hope and expectations undisguised within them.

And without them knowing, their palms had all turned clammy, and their breathing had also grown heavier and heavier by the second.

The silence was heavy and pregnant with tension.

Gulp.

Everyone swallowed hard, feeling their throats very itchy with discomfort.

And Dorian, who was now the center of attention, lazily looked at them one by one, taking his sweet time to examine them all.

It was as though he didn\'t see their anxious expressions at all.

And only when he was done did he take a few steps back, looking at then as a whole: "More... More will come for you!"

WHAT?!!!!!

~Plop.

Chiyou\'s mother weakened to the ground, stretching their trembling fingers across the worn-out wooden floors in horror.

Her entire face turned ashen, looking like it had aged by a solid 15 years or more.

"Why? Why? Why is this happening to my family?" Chiyou\'s mother bellowed in pain, but was soon patted on the back by her little son.

"Mom... Mom... Don\'t cry. If you cry, the baby will be sad."

"That\'s right, mom. Don\'t cry. We will be fine. See! The Grandmaster hasn\'t said that he can\'t help us yet. So why don\'t you stop crying first?"

Like so, both Chiyou and Chindu confirmed their mother, who seemed broken on the floor.

And while they did so, Chiyou\'s father still stood firm, looking at Dorian anxiously.

"Grandmaster. You say that more will be coming for us. So can you... Will you be able to deal with it all?"

"Certainly."

Phew.

A collective sigh came from the family as if they had received amnesty from above.

Now, rather than weeping from sorrow, they were still weeping from joy instead.

Dorian tried his best not to roll his eyes at the ridiculousness of the situation.

Weep. Weep. Weep.

Was this all the people in this world knew how to do?

One couldn\'t blame him since back in his former world, people hardly cried for things of this nature.

After all, the supernatural was everywhere.

And people treated it as though they were solving something as simple as common cold.

Heck! Some people even discussed with the ghosts who were still waiting for the heavenly hour before leaving the world and going for judgement.

And as one would imagine, solving crime was also made more straightforward when compared to crime-solving in this world.

Hey? You want to look for a murderer? Then just ask the ghost of the deceased.

Of course, one could always disguise themselves before killing their victims or create accidents that might kill their victims... Leaving the ghosts unable to identify the real culprit.

But, because they were there, the police could gather clues, ask if they had any feuds before their deaths and whatnot.

Anyway, it was customary for people to see ghosts in his former world.

Every day, at a specific time, the heavenly home would come on, gathering the souls of the deceased.

And typically, ghosts could refuse to go into the light for a maximum of 3 days... After that, there would be repercussions for their staying back.

But then, their souls would start changing and losing control, leading to the exorcist hinting divisions having to forcefully hunt them down and send them to a special judgment region in the heavens.

Well, all that is if they hadn\'t completely turned bad... Because if they did, then... Heh... That was an entirely different matter on its own.

But ever since coming into this world, Dorian had seen people cry at every turn over the littlest supernatural things.

And even though he understood their emotional level of shock, he still felt as though they were giving him a headache with their constant wails.

.

Dorian massaged his temples with disguised emotions of annoyance in his eyes.

But for the others, to them, his expression was still the same as before.

They looked at him with heavy eyes of gratitude, as if looking at the saviour of all mankind or something of that sort.

Moreover, they heard their daughter say that Dorian promised to solve the problem for free.

And they weren\'t stupid. Such a thing might cost an astronomical amount to solve.

But because she was his first \'customer\' yesterday, he decided not to charge her.

And with how broke they were at the moment, how could they not be grateful to the kind Grandmaster?

He might have a cold face, but it was evident that his heart was soft.

If the system knew what they were thinking, it would no doubt smash its face into a wall in disbelief.

Soft? How come he didn\'t know that his host\'s heart was soft?

The system had a hunch that if the heavenly oath weren\'t taken, maybe the host would be the one creating evil instead.

Soft its furry ass!

.

"Thank you, Grandmaster! We, the Obyn family, will never forget this debt for as long as we live!"

(:*^*:)

Dorian waved his hands casually, hoping to stop the whole charade quickly: "Get up. We still haven\'t solved your issues yet... So... Where\'s it?"
