Chapter Twenty-Three: The Black Bat King
"Welcome here, King of Atthiran, come in. After seeing the Black Bolt King and his party, Charles saw that except for the Black Bolt King, everyone else was vigilant, and he could only smile and invite them to sit in his office.
"Let's go in, don't worry, he's not an enemy. Black Bolt made a few sign languages, and Medusa translated, and the other two dogs could only follow Charles to his office.
Charles entered his office with four people and a dog, and after Rena served everyone a cup of coffee, she stood quietly beside Charles.
The four of them looked at the ordinary furniture in Charles's office, looked at the cabinet with strange things, and then the Black Bolt King sat down in the place that Charles had assigned them, while the other three stood behind the Black Bolt King and did not intend to sit down.
"We're so sorry that the crystal has bothered you suddenly, and we're glad that you've protected the Inhumans, and it's something we're happy to see our fellow citizens have found a safe place to live on Earth, and we thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your actions. Black Bolt began to use sign language, and Medusa opened her mouth to translate, thanking Charles.
"Oh, so you didn't mean your princess to come to me, she came on her own initiative?" asked Charles with his chin on his lips after hearing Medusa's words.
"Yes, our clansman Tritan came to Earth to investigate some things, but now he is missing, we only know that he has been to Ravenhold Manor, and the rest of the matter is not very clear, Crystal is too impulsive, she thinks that you kidnapped our people, so she came here to find them. Medusa continued to translate for Black Bolt.
"I haven't kidnapped any Inhumans, I'm sure the Inhumans here are free, and I don't think your people have lived in Ravenhold Manor, you're looking in the wrong direction. Charles spoke after listening to Perfect Tussaud's translation.
"I trust you because I don't think you need to lie to me, but Tritan is my cousin, and I hope to be able to find him, do you have any clues here?" Medusa asked Charles as she translated the Black Bolt King's sign language.
"No, Rena, do you remember an Inhuman named Tritan ever came here?" Charles didn't think of any information about that Inhuman, he shouldn't have been "investigated" by Charles, and could only ask Rena, who was usually in charge of Inhuman affairs.
"Tritan, is it an Inhuman who looks like a fin on his head?" Reyna recalled, remembering an Inhuman named Tritan.
Tritan has a distinctly inhuman appearance, but he only chatted with people in the bar and left, deaf to the words of his compatriots who let him stay here to live, which impressed Rena, his appearance could hardly be hidden, except for Ravenhold Manor, Rena couldn't think of where he could live quietly, so she remembered him.
"Yes, have you seen him?" asked Crystal.
"Yes, but he only stayed here for a while and then left, and we don't know where he went. Rena replied indifferently to Crystal's question.
"I see, thank you for your help, but we still have a question, how do you know my name, and the location of Atthilan, we've been isolated from the world for a long time. Medusa's voice reached Charles again, and the question was important to them.
"Can I refuse to answer this question?" Charles asked with a smile as he faced the question.
"If we could, we would like to get an answer. Black Bolt looked at Charles and insisted on asking.
"Well, the answer to this question, I can only tell you that I knew your whereabouts a long time ago, not only yours, but I also know about another Inhuman gathering place, the "Afterlife", you should have heard of this place, right?" Charles said a vague answer, and also said something about the "afterlife".
"We haven't heard of the afterlife, where is that?" asked Medusa, confused.
"Oh, that's pretty surprising, Rena, let's talk a little bit about it. Charles was embarrassed to hear this answer, and then asked Rena to introduce the question of the "afterlife" while Charles thought about other things.
"The Afterlife is a gathering place for Inhumans on Earth, where a lot of Inhumans have been transformed, and I used to exercise my abilities there, and it's a good place, if that hadn't happened. Rena recalled, then spoke.
"How's it going?" said Bolt King, gesturing.
"Ruined, ruined by the leader there, and most of the Inhumans who survived there are now also mostly joining Ravenhold Manor. Rena said.
"Why did the leaders there destroy their homes?" asked the Black Bolt again.
"Hate, that leader hates humans, so she wants other Inhumans to hate humans with her, so she controlled the human warplanes and attacked the Inhumans' homeland, but these plans were discovered and stopped by her daughter, and her plans naturally failed, and the "afterlife" also vanished. Rena continued to explain, but didn't say anything about her role in the matter.
"You used to live there, and you were also an alien? Also, you look so different from humans, so beautiful. Crystal asked.
"Yes, I'm also an alien, but I'm not the one I look like now, that's what I am. Rena looked at Crystal's envious eyes and replied with a smile, then lifted the magic covering herself, revealing her true self, which startled everyone.
"Is this your ability to change your appearance?" Crystal asked curiously when she saw Rena's original appearance.
"Alright, Crystal, now is not the time to ask this question, Mr. Ravenhold, although you are not going to tell us why you know about Attillan, we still want you to keep this matter secret, we have no intention of making contact with human society, can we?" The Black Bolt King interrupted Crystal's continued questioning, and asked Charles to keep Attillan's affairs secret.
"Of course, this time you came to contact me, and I never intended to tell anyone about you, but your princess came to see me on behalf of the king, and I thought that you were planning to see me, and I agreed to your request. "Charles didn't refuse Black Bolt's request, he didn't have to refuse.
After Charles agreed to the Black Bolt King's request, the Black Bolt King and the others planned to leave here and go back to continue investigating Tritan's disappearance, but when Crystal intended to let the tetanus teleport them away, the tetanus only teleported them to Charles's door and then fell out, this discovery made the Black Bolt King four's expressions begin to become serious, and then they started to prepare for battle, and Medusa's hair began to wave.
"This isn't a good place to teleport, you should teleport after you go out, I forgot to warn you, sorry. Charles watched as several people took a defensive stance, walked past them indifferently, and then opened the door so that they could go out safely, and explained with a smile in passing.
The four of them glanced at each other, and after seeing that Charles had no intention of stopping them from leaving, Karnak looked at the door vigilantly, and then nodded, indicating that it was safe to meet the accident.
"I'm sorry for our rude behavior, I'm glad to know you. The Black Bolt King stopped where he was and started sign language, and Medusa translated when she saw the Black Bolt King's sign language.
"Me too. Charles nodded and said to the Black Bolt King.
