My Husband's Ghost
Chapter 37 News

Van Costel IV sat down and played his little finger with a red ruby-eyed gold ring.

His eyes were fixed on his two busy hands.

''What news ''', said Van Costel.

''I'm sorry, I heard that your father-in-law is very ill and he asked Dalca II'' for help, '' said Antolin Lucian.

''Hmmm.'', muttered Van Costel IV.

The handsome ghost stopped the movement of his hand.

He turned his eyes to Antolin Lucian.

''She ? Severe pain ?'', asked Van Costel IV.

''Yes, your father-in-law is seriously ill but he survived due to treatment from laoshi and his daughter Jingmi'', Lucian said.

''Why look for the son of a bitch Dalca II?'', said Van Costel IV.

''I heard, Kwee Lan sent two of his men named Heng and Ho to the forest Hoia Baciu to find the residence of Dalca'', said Lucian.

''Hoia Baciu?', replied Van Costel.

The handsome-faced ghost raised both of his eyebrows upwards while staring intently.

''Conon Dalca lives there with his palace but I have not confirmed the truth myself'', Lucian said.

''That's the forest up here... Strange !?'', said Van Costel IV.

''Not only haunted, but the forest is the home of ghosts and demons, '' said Lucian.

''Rarely would any human living there not even a single one dare to go there, it was a forest of prohibition that was frightening to anyone even a ghost who was new would be reluctant to go there'', van Costel said as he clucked softly.

''I think the forest was uninhabited by humans but Kwee Lan forced both of his men to go to the forest to look for Dalca, said Lucian.

''That's a forbidden forest ! It is impossible to get in there even to get out of there it is not easy, said Van Costel IV.

''What is this Dalca strategy?', said Lucian.

''It's possible, because Dalca's goal is me and he deliberately messed with Kwee Lan to attack me'', Van Costel said.

''How does he know Kwee Lan when they don't know each other?' said Lucian.

''News.'', said Van Costel.

''News ''?', asked Lucian flabbergasted.

''Yes, the news is widely circulated about the story of the accident life sent to me, the story is very much heard in the community'', replied Van Costel.

''Dalca heard it or she deliberately sent a spy to you?'', Lucian said.

''I don't know the truth but it's possible that the jerk sent his men here just to see if I was really dead'' Van Costel said.

''Because of Patra's war?'', asked Lucian.

''Yeah ''yeah ! That dalca jerk always didn't want to miss a single piece of news from me and I'm sure of it.', Van Costel said.

''He is really stubborn, '' said Lucian.

''Not only was he stubborn but he was very ambitious to have me, '' Van Costel continued.

''Haish !!! Dapper nose guy ! Don't know that you want to have you !? What's in his cranium?'' said Lucian angrily.

''He doesn't have it... And he wanted to dissect my body just one wish, Van Costel said.

''ETERNITY !'

The two men from different realms agreed together.

''Just right now ! That's the goal of the dickhead Dalca II'', Van Costel said.

''He also deliberately used a black lantern to investigate your true form, '' said Lucian.

''I myself still doubt if he is human because the forest Hoia Baciu is the hardest place that ordinary humans cannot live or settle there'', said Van Costel.

''Is it possible that he is not human?', Lucian said.

''But the thirteen noble clans only Dalca II are the original Wallachian descendants of the Vlad the Ignorant'' clan, Lucian said.

''I am also of Wallachian descent and we are still one blood, '' Van Costel said.

''Are you not brothers ? Why is the conflict happening to the two of you and must fight hard?'', said Lucian.

''Power.'', replied Van Costel.

''Indeed, I admit that Wallachia's power is very large and powerful and it not only invites people to want to have it but tends to influence people to lust to become the ruler of Wallachia'', said Lucian.

''Really ! The appeal of Wallachia is very large and is able to tempt one's faith to master it even though the path taken is not right'', said Van Costel.

''What is this vicious circle?', murmured Lucian.

Antolin Lucian lowered his gaze while thinking hard.

''It is not just a vicious cycle that shackles humans to have the power of Wallachia as well as the Moldovan valley but many are willing to die just to get it'', Van Costel IV said.

''You're not afraid of that?'' asked Lucian.

''No ! What is fear for ? I'm a ghost ! And there's nothing I need to fear, I'm a son of Adam's offspring not a demon because that's nothing I need to fear'' Van Costel said.

Smiles formed at both corners of Van Costel IV's lips as he answered Lucian's Antolin words to her.

''Will we fight again ? Could it be?'', said Lucian.

''Behold... Only God knows that, Van Costel said.

''Is a war like Patra's war going to repeat itself among the thirteen clans?'', asked Lucian anxiously.

''If only Dalca II had no ambition to become ruler, it is possible that war would not have happened, '' Van Costel said.

''There will be many parties involved in the war later and not a few casualties will fall'', said Lucian.

''Humans and demons currently coexist but that is not a strong guarantee for them to always survive peacefully without dropping each other'', Van Costel replied.

''That's your job, Van Costel!'', Lucian continued.

''Heh!?', that handsome ghost breath. ''I myself feel tired of having to maintain stability in the Wallachia region and parts of Romania'', he continued.

''He is indeed troublesome!'', said Lucian.

Van Costel only smiled faintly as he looked out the window, where he and Antolin Lucian were standing together.

''He is not an adult, ''' Van Costel replied.

''Not ! He's not sane I think !'' said Lucian annoyed.

''What I'm worried about now is Jia Li's safety because Dalca seems to be hunting him down'', Van Costel said.

Van Costel IV's face immediately turned grim when he thought of Jia Li who was now the target of Dalca II.

''Dalca not only wanted Jia Li for him but she wanted us to fight by using Kwee Lan as her main weapon'', Van Costel said gloomily.

''Kwee Lan aces for Dalca but the fool doesn't know if we've learned of his rotten plans'', Lucian said.

''Be careful of him because he is not an opponent we can match his strength'', Van Costel said.

''I don't care about that ! Let me face it!'', said Lucian gaunt.

''But he is not human in my opinion then how will you deal with him?'', Van Costel said.

''Manly ''', said Antolin Lucian.

''He is a fraud ! Not manly and cunning ! His stratagems are diverse, unfathomable by the human mind!'', Van Costel said.

''Because he is a demon!'', Lucian said. ''He's a leech!'', he continued.

Van Costel laughed loudly at Antolin Lucian's reply.

Suddenly Van Costel's feelings turned happy because of the news of Dalca II's lunge that began to compile a strategy to fight him and the handsome ghost's heart was really happy when he heard the wishes of Antolin Lucian he wanted to fight Dalca II, his great enemy.

To make a great war with Van Costel by the plans of Dalca II.

The thing that could please Van Costel IV was to keep Dalca II busy because it responded to him who had risen from the grave.
