Chapter 397: Chapter 389 - Crisis in Null Dimension.
Hearing Dark Prince's response, Chris slightly nodded and stopped, after sorting all the information Dark Prince just told him, Chris noticed there is something out of order.
"Hold on right there. Terrence, aren't you supposed to be in the Null Dimension right now? I am very sure that I sent my message directly to the Kingdom's HQ. And it's not like your style to be in charge of this lousy and troublesome stuff, usually, you would just pass these disciplinary issues to Lex but you didn't. Are you hiding anything from me? Or rather, where is Lex?" Chris asked, in a concerned and serious tone.
Facing Chris's questions, Terrence took a deep breath and does not dare to say out a single word.
Seeing Terrence's reaction, Chris silenced for a while before throwing out another question.
"Did anything happen to Lex?" Chris asked, directly to the point.
As if he had been seen through, Terrence is astonished by Chris's question. After a short hesitation, he finally gave a positive response to Chris's question.
"Lex is not in a condition to handle all those heavy workloads in the Kingdom, at least, not within this week or the week after this." said Terrence, still unwilling to tell the whole thing in detail.
"I see. That sounds rather bad. Do you need Ben back for any help?" Chris asked, straight to the point as if he could read through Terrence's mind.
"Yeah... Ben-chan could help a lot! Gosh! Shiro-chan was totally fine the last time he was here with Rei-chan's order." Maria exclaimed, rather worried.
Hearing Rei's name, Terrence's face muscle twitched a bit as he slightly clenched his fist.
"Ah... I see... It has something to do with Rei." said Chris, still remaining his usual composure.
Terrence did not give any response to Chris's statement about Rei.
"It's okay, you don't have to say anything about that. But I do believe that you have some much more important matters to deal with, right? You know you could just send anyone here to retrieve the two captives here, but you chose to come over in person. Just tell me everything you want to let me know." said Chris.
"Well, if possible, I would want you and everyone else to stay in Kapis Dimension for a longer time, it's not a good timing to return to Null Dimension at this moment, and will probably last for more than a week or a whole month until we get everything settled. For your information, I had already forcibly blocked all the dimensional links between Kapis Dimension and Null Dimension and Kingdom HQ in order to prevent any undesirable outcomes." said Terrence, as brief as he could.
"I see... And one last question. Where is Athena?" Chris asked, this time, he looks concerned.
"Well, she is busy having her afternoon tea so she didn't follow us here." said Terrence, rather surprised at Chris's concerns.
"I see." said Chris, back to his usual casual tone.
"Uhm... Don't you actually concerned about what happened in Null Dimension right now? Not even for a single bit?" Terrence asked, rather hard to accept Chris's attitude towards the whole situation.
"Not really, or should I be concerned about it?" Chris asked, once again in a casual tone as if it's not a big deal.
"Ah..."
"Even if I was concerned, would you even tell me everything in detail?" Chris asked, this time, he successfully silenced Terrence.
Chris was right, Terrence never planned to tell everything in detail to Chris as the whole incident is just too complicated...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A few hours ago, in Null Dimension. (About a week ago in Kapis Dimension).
Black Cross hideout.
Dark Prince was doing his usual work with Sal's help, Athena and Xenoo were messing with each other as they always did, everything was just as peaceful as always. Suddenly, someone rang the doorbell, Sal went open the door, it was Lex, the White Knight of the Kingdom, he seems a bit troubled.
"Sir Lex, what brought you here at this time? Where is Her Highness? She is not with you?" Sal greeted Lex while leading him into the building.
"I have some confidential things to discuss with Terrence." said Lex in a serious tone...
.......................….....
"You are saying that Her Highness is having close contact with the Gospeler? Well, it's not anything new, she had been doing that for a few times now. Even His Majesty knows it and low-keyly allowed it." said Dark Prince, not very surprised at what Lex told him.
"No, this time it's a bit different, she seems to be hiding something from us, I have a feeling that she is planning something really evil and might cause another mass calamity to Null Dimension." said Lex, rather anxious.
"Hmm? Why would you think so?" Dark Prince asked, still not very convinced by Lex's words.
"Well, I can't really explain to you in words, but I could show you if you could follow me to a place." said Lex, still insisting on his point.
"Alright, lead the way, I have a lot of free time right now." said Dark Prince with a 'meh' look.
In order to prove Dark Prince the validity of his concerns, Lex pulled Dark Prince out and was going to lead him to the place he mentioned. However, just when they left the hideout, they were assaulted, or rather Lex was assaulted.
All Dark Prince could remember is that he noticed a tiny strain of almost invisible string that 'passed' through Lex's head. The next scene he saw was Lex who was covered in blood and collapsed into a pool of blood. From the corner of Dark Prince's eyes, he saw two figures in hooded robes, he can briefly identify them as a male and a female...

*Something out of the story
Sky: "Dear readers."
Chris: "Hmm?"
Sky: "This chapter is meant to be released for webnovel.com."
Chris: "Oh! This matter. Yes, if you're reading this chapter on another platform than webnovel.com, know that it's an illegal copy diffused without the Writer's authorization."
Sky: "As what Chris said. Right now, this story is free on the authorized platform, so please read it from authorized platforms as mental support for the writer."
Chris: "Mhm... There are two authorized platforms. One is webnovel.com. And another one is that messy and half-dead Weebly site that she uses for draft and backup... But not recommended."
Sky: "Ah... Haha. Yes, as Chris said."
Chris: "But look out, those scums might change this note to their own website link. So, be cautious.
Sky : "By the way, if the cover page is the old cover page that shows two stickmen, stop reading it, it's cursed and might caused the writer to stop writing."
