I Am A Notorious Hidden Boss In The Alternate World

Ganymede Ocean, central region. Ptolemy-class aircraft carrier.

In the underwater docking bay of the 1500ft-long metal titan, a new team was assembled to explore the ocean floor.

"Remember, your main objective is to explore the seabed and find the dimensional rift if it exists. But if you run into the giant sea creatures, kill them. We need their data, is that understood?" A person in command spoke sternly.

The person's name was Esther Campbell. He was the Ptolemy-class aircraft carrier commander, which was also the position with the highest authority on board the ship.

"Yes, commander!"

The team answered in unison.

Esther Campbell nodded and said, "Then, you may set off immediately!"

The team entered the submarine one after another, and all got into position. When the docking bay was cleared, and water flooded the chamber after the bottom hatch opened, the submarine was given the green to leave.

Shortly after, the propeller spun, and the submarine descended into the dark depths of the ocean waters, disappearing from sight thereafter.

The team was comprised of Hunters, and not a single member within the team was below Lv.5, but neither was any of them above Lv.10 either.

However, their personal strength was not important in an underwater battle. What is important are the weapons their submarine was equipped with; 24 rounds of torpedos.

This was more than enough to kill a few giant sea creatures, or so they believe.

February 7th, 2023.

Silvercove Port, 8PM roughly.

"Well then, Young Master Albion. I will be sure to send you the contact information as soon as I get a new phone and reach home. My residential address is already saved inside the phone, so please look at it before finding your way over. I will inform the guards, so they do not make things difficult for you at the entrance."

Klein Seymour said.

"You have a wealthy background, live in a luxurious home, and even have your own security guards to protect it, but you use an odd model like this Brick series instead of a smartphone. I don't know what to say to you." Albion said amusedly.

The brick phone can only be used to call and text people, and perhaps, also as a weapon, but that was about it.

If he were given a smartphone instead, he would be able to access the web and GPS the address to Mr. Klein's home. He can also read his novels on it and watch hen—Ahem, forget that last one.

Nevertheless, he was definitely getting a smartphone when he returns the brick back to Mr. Klein later.

"You might not know this, but I used to use smartphones. However, I keep dropping them and breaking the screens, which drove my wife furious as she would be the one buying me new smartphones each time. After breaking a smartphone for the 27th time in two years, my wife got me that Brick series and forbid me from using smartphones since."

Klein Seymour explained ruefully.

"You went through 27 phones in 2 years? That is some next-level stuff. Anyway, with your wealthy background, it shouldn't be a problem no matter how many phones you cycle through, no?" Albion asked.

"Normally, you would think that. However, my wife is a stringent person who does not like expensive things. She will always look for the best price before buying anything, which is why she buys my phones and isn't happy when I break them. But this is also what I love about her."

"She's quite the keeper, isn't she? It is quite rare to find a woman who does not like expensive things in this day and age. You are quite fortunate to find and marry such a woman." Albion said honestly.

"Indeed, I am. Thanks to that, we have quite a loving family with our two daughters." Klein Seymour mentioned with a warm expression, thinking about his family waiting for him back home.

"Alright, let us end our talk there. You can take your crew and leave first, Mr. Klein. I will leave the ship a different way without being seen." Albion said.

"Very well. Let us meet again soon, Young Master Albion." Klein Seymour did not object. All the talking made him want to hurry home sooner to see his family.

"I hope we will meet again, sir." Gerald and the rest of the crew respectfully said to Albion. They did not mention it, but they all view him as their teacher for the Earth-Shattering Fist he taught them.

Albion acknowledged their farewells with a nod and saw them off.

Sometime later, after everyone was gone, Albion remained on the ship with a cold glint in his eyes. He was not in a hurry to leave.

[Goldfinger sense killing intent from the host. Does the host intend to kill people? This does not seem to conform to the host's value of being merciful when possible.]

Goldfinger opined.

"That is where you are mistaken, Goldfinger. It is not that I will be merciful when possible, but I will not kill willfully. I do not like this system that puts an EXP value on everything living. It is the same as encouraging everyone to kill and treat it like some game." Albion corrected.

[The host is mistaken. The system does not encourage people to kill but to get stronger to survive the Apocalypse. When the subsequently stronger waves arrive, the weak will only be helplessly killed off. The current world does not permit the weak to survive.]

Goldfinger said.

"That is just hypocrisy. No matter how you try to coat it, encouraging people to get stronger is still encouraging people to kill." Albion said.

[…]

Goldfinger was silent for a moment before it asked,

[Who does the host intend to kill tonight?]

"The people from the Bloodmoon Gang will no doubt be alarmed once they find out that the people they are supposed to meet on the ship are missing. Rather than letting them go and give the Seymour family trouble later, I might as well kill them all here and delay them slightly from finding the truth." Albion said.

He had already made an enemy out of the Bloodmoon Gang. They do not know it yet, but they will eventually find out when they clash in the future.

Since they were enemies, they had to be eliminated.

He had been given a second chance to live a fulfilling life. He will not let anyone who threatens to take that away from him live.

Ding!
