My Husband's Ghost
Chapter 64 The Figure That Follows

Van Costel IV was stunned for a moment like something he was feeling.

Someone called his name...

The handsome ghost then turned his head towards the surroundings of the Hoia Baciu Forest that he was entering right now.

''Jia Li.'', muttered Van Costel IV.

Van Costel IV halted his footsteps as he entered the haunted Romanian forest area, aiming to overtake Antolin Lucian.

It was as if he had heard the voice of a call from Jia Li.

''Is this my illusion?'', said Van Costel IV.

Van Costel IV believed that when entering the area of Hoia Baciu Forest then all life out there will disappear and change with other realms commonly called supernatural nature.

''I feel Jia Li's presence here but I don't see him just feeling it if he exists'', muttered the handsome ghost.

Van Costel IV darted into the Hoia Baciu Forest.

Trying to ignore the illusory nature that affected him while entering the forbidden forest area.

Van Costel IV body movements speed up with accompanied by a thick grove of shady trees that also move quickly.

The air inside the Hoia Baciu Forest was stifling as Van Costel IV entered the haunted forest area.

The ghost of Van Costel IV stands with both footsteps firmly set while on the edge of a deep ravine.

A dark and gloomy aura emerged from the direction of the abyss that was in front of Van Costel IV.

''It's doom... The trap in the forest is the most frightening for anyone who enters this forbidden place, said Van Costel IV.

Van Costel IV's hand was pointed straight ahead just above the ravine.

''It turns out that the traces of the elite forces belonging to Antolin Lucian are felt in this place, ''' said Van Costel IV.

The handsome ghostly gaze was sidetracked in the other direction as he scanned the direction of the abyss within the haunted forest.

Van Costel IV's eyes panned in deep red like burning flames while his lips clenched tightly as he turned his gaze away from the direction of the abyss.

The sky above the Hoia Baciu Forest changed its color to blacken even though it was still morning in this place.

The movement of clouds that move slowly in deep black adorn the atmosphere of the forest area interspersed with the sound of lightning that rumbles slowly but not rain.

''It looks like there will be casualties in the Hoia Baciu Forest.'', Van Costel IV said.

Van Costel IV turned back his eyes straight ahead right at the lip of the ravine as he stood.

''Hell has emerged from this forest, it may be time for me to move on with my journey, Van Costel IV said.

The body of Van Costel IV darted back through the abyss below.

Fly high up through the crowd of trees that grow in the Forest Hoia Baciu.

Right in front of him appeared the figure of Heng who moved to float following the pace of the movement of the ghost of Van Costel IV beside him.

Van Costel IV realized that someone not human was following the steps of his movement and then grinned widely while saying to an invisible figure.

''How are you doing ?"

"You are apparently Mr. Van Costel IV.", said Heng.

"Who are you?", asked Van Costel IV.

"My name is Heng, a confidant of Mr. Kwee Lan!", said Heng.

"Heng..., why are you here ? Didn't you go to your master's place, Kwee Lan?" said Van Costel IV.

"I've become a ghost just like you, Mr. Van Costel IV", said the figure of Heng.

Van Costel IV immediately stopped the movement of his footsteps quickly and then stood gallantly on the surface of the haunted forest land named Hoia Baciu.

Highlight Van Costel IV's eyes that turned red immediately highlighted sharply.

He saw the figure of Heng floating beside him.

"How do you know that I am a ghost?", asked Van Costel IV. "Who has told you?", he continued.

A sinister aura emerged from Van Costel IV's body when Heng's figure informed him of the real form of the handsome ghost.

"Mr Kwee Lan.", said Heng.

"It turns out the old man knew my true form because that's why he attacked me" Van Costel IV said.

"True, the servant master sent me here to ask Dalca II for help so that Dalca II's master would help Kwee Lan to attack the Moldovan valley" replied Heng.

"Why did you tell me that?" said Van Costel IV.

Van Costel IV's face turned cold as he looked at the figure of Heng beside him.

"Are you tired of living?", continued the ghost of Van Costel IV.

"Hmmm.", muttered Van Costel IV.

"I told Mr. Kwee Lan's plan because I wanted to avenge my death to Kwee Lan" Heng said.

Van Costel IV was silent just looking at the figure of Heng who always moved from his side.

"Kwee Lan deliberately told us to go to the Hoia Baciu Forest to convey a message of death to Dalca II but Kwee Lan knew that this forest was very haunted.", said the figure of Heng.

"You feel trapped?" said Van Costel IV.

"Not only do I feel trapped by Kwee Lan but I feel he deliberately sent me with Ho my brother to Hoia Baciu Forest as a living sacrifice for Dalca II", said the figure of Heng.

"You just realized it?" said the handsome Ghost while smiling faintly.

"I found out after I was in this forest when I had become a ghost", said Heng.

''You are going to say how stupid you are!?'', replied Van Costel IV with glittering eyes.

Heng's figure gasped in shock as Van Costel IV answered his words indifferently and coldly.

Never expected to get such a cold response from Van Costel IV because the figure of Heng thought the ghost from the Moldovan valley would thank him for the information of Kwee Lan's plan that he leaked to him.

''Tu-tuan Van Costel IV..!?'', said the figure of Heng.

''Would you think I would thank you for the information of Kwee Lan's plan to attack the Moldovan valley?'', Van Costel IV said.

''Ti-no sir... I don't dare.'', said Heng's figure trembling.

Van Costel IV then grinned widely with red eyes turned towards the figure of Heng.

''When was Kwee Lan's plan to attack the Moldovan valley carried out?'', asked Van Costel IV coldly.

''As far as the celebration of the new year is right on the fifteenth night, they will attack the Moldovan valley and try to kidnap the mistress Jia Li.

''What !?'', said Van Costel IV increased emotions.

''Truly-right, true Mr. Van Costel IV.'', said the figure of Heng.

Van Costel IV's burly hands pointed straight towards Heng's figure and strangled Heng's ghostly neck with a reddish look.

''Tell me ! That you did not lie!'', said Van Costel IV.

''Ti-no.., no lord Van Costel IV... I swear to you ! What I said is true ! Honestly ! I dare not trap you!'', replied the figure of Heng.

''Areally !?'', said Van Costel IV.

''Do I dare to lie, lord Van Costel IV?'', said the figure of Heng.

Slowly Van Costel IV moved his hand from the neck of Heng's figure and released it.

''You have delayed my time to go to the Palace of Orange.'', Van Costel IV said.

''I can take you to the Orange Palace because I understand the location of that place in this forest, Mr. Van Costel IV.'', said Heng.

''You have been to the Palace of Orange and met Dalca II there?'', said Van Costel IV.

''Truly, Mr. Van Costel IV.'', said Heng.

''Alright, if that's what you want, take me there now!'' Van Costel IV said with a grin.

''Alright, sir!'', replied the figure of Heng.

''Where does it go to the Orange Palace?'', said Van Costel IV.

''Kesana ! In that direction!'', said the figure of Heng.

Ghost Heng pointed to the left where the Orange Palace was located within the Hoia Baciu Forest.

Van Costel IV turned his gaze toward the location indicated by Heng's figure.

There was a black shadow dancing from within the forest that was filled with strange-shaped trees, not the appearance of the Orange Palace meant by Heng's figure, he said, there is only a direction of the road in the form of a trace of the smell of stealth leading into the location of the Hoia Baciu Forest.

''Where ? I did not see the Orange Palace?'', said Van Costel IV.

''On the left of this road ! In the forest ! Not far away from this place, Mr. Van Costel IV.

''All right, we're going in there now ! You will come with me, won't you?', said Van Costel IV.

''Of course, I will take you to the Palace of Orange you mean, Mr. Van Costel IV'', replied the figure of Heng.

''Thanks... Let's go now because I have to finish my business at the Orange Palace!'' Van Costel IV said.

''Ba-well, Mr. Van Costel IV..!?', said Heng's figure in shock.

Van Costel IV immediately moved quickly into the forest of Hoia Baciu to the left where the direction pointed by the figure of Heng headed to the location of the Orange Palace while the figure of Heng just floated with a pensive expression when he heard the ghost of Van Costel IV who was so cold said ''thank you'' to him.

What Heng never expected about Van Costel IV, the supreme ruler of the Moldovan Valley who was famous for his cold and unfriendly attitude.
