Anyone Dares Bully you, Call Uncles! novel Chapter 1300

Jalen asked in a low voice while brushing his beard, “Do you know there are many desolate lands in the underworld?”

“Yeah, I know that.”

Other than places like Ghost Town and the 13 Stations of the Underworld, the underground was largely uncharted and referred to as the desolate land. In this desolate land, there were many places where ghosts could cultivate virtue. Although Ghost Town was sizable, when it became crowded, the accumulation of virtue became more challenging.

Moreover, not all ghosts ended up in the underworld upon their death. There were wandering spirits, ghosts that chose not to be reborn, and those who escaped after committing misdeeds. With a growing ghost population, a sort of ecosystem outside the official rules of the Underworld formed. Here, lawlessness prevailed, with plunder, robbery, and survival of the fittest being the norm.

"Until one day, a novice ghost stepped forward and established an alternative system of order beyond the reach of the official underworld. He claimed territories near the virtuous sites, creating his own Ghost Towns, Ghost Markets, and establishments, including the one we're in now."

These territories were his brainchild, built by his hands and bolstered by his reputation. Although this particular Ghost Market was the smallest, it served as a haven for ordinary ghosts who pursued virtue, worked, and enjoyed themselves.

“Be it normal or novice ghosts, they all followed the rules set by that person. That was because he was powerful, and these ghosts needed a safe place for themselves.”

Alanna was intrigued and asked, "Jalen, are you saying that this person... is Crawford Ancestor?”

Jalen nodded. "Indeed, he is! Joseph Crawford, the ancestor of Fifth Palace’s King of Hell."

Jalen hadn't known him personally at first, just like everyone else. He had heard of him during his time working at the inn but had never met him.

"Yesterday, when I accompanied my boss to apologize to King of Hell, I was taken aback to see Joseph standing nearby. Given Joseph's reputation in the desolate land, his newfound identity as Crawford Ancestor will surely spread quickly, especially among the upper circles."
