H ⚔️⚔️⚔️

ALT Pag 1: HC, arms crossed to his chest, visibly pissed. HC:"Alright, let's get this over with. Are you the wrath ghost leading the group of demons who's been terrorising this mountain? Perhaps you're too ignorant to know it, but there's a saying in the ghost realm;" Second panel is a close up to hc face, being as menacing as he can. He doesn't know yet. HC: "Black controls the waters, Red controls the land. So, guess in whose territory you are right now?"

ALT Page 2 XL removes his demon mask, his face is not visible yet but he's laughing nervously. XL: 'ah, wait wait! It's not like that! The locals, you see, There's been a misunderstanding...Lord Crimson Rain, right? I've only learnt about you very recently... We didn't mean to cause any troubles, we were just looking for a place to settle down peacefully!" XL: "Please, there's no reason to turn to violence!" Hua Cheng is stunned as he finally sees XL's face. XL, turning serious and turning around: "However..."

ALT Pag 3 XL stands fully with a cracked scimitar in his hand, defending a bunch of weird, scared ghost/creatures. There's a lore here but I don't have time to explain(???). XL: "If you really want to hurt my companions, you'll have to go through me first."

ALT Pag 4 They stare at each other in silence. E-Ming eye is bulging in surprise lol. HC: ... XL thinking baloons: Can he tell I'm not actually a ghost? Would the ghost candy even fool a ghost king? HC: Ah, I see. In that case, all of you should just come live in Ghost City. I have plenty of space. XL, very surprised: w -what, really? HC: Actually I think gege specifically should just stay at my residence. You can have every room you want or as many as you want, you can have my room too I don't need it.
