Chapter 150: I can help him
“You don’t owe me anything. Lisa and I are good friends at school, so I simply did what I should have done.” Han Shuo saw that Emily and Chester had walked out with Lisa’s figure, draped in a black cloth, as they spoke.
“Let’s leave this area first.” Lawrence noticed Emily and Chester’s movements as he followed Han Shuo’s gaze. His eyes lit up as he spoke softly and turned to walk outside.
A lot procedures needed to be passed before entering the trading house, but it wasn’t so strict when leaving. Han Shuo and Lawrence didn’t meet any resistance as they followed behind Emily and Chester. Emily was escorted by two guards from the trading house and they stayed respectfully when Emily dismissed them at the door.
She was slightly surprised to see Lawrence appear by the carriage. Han Shuo maintained a calm expression on his face and said to Lawrence, “I made Madame Emily’s acquaintance at your place last time. I’ve been hired by her to take care of some things in Valen City.”
Lawrence seemed to understand some things, but didn’t say much. He flashed a friendly smile at Han Shuo and said, “This is between the two of you, so you don’t need to tell me anything. I think we should see how my cousin is doing first.”
He lifted the carriage curtains and the two boys entered. They’d just entered when a weeping Lisa threw herself into Han Shuo’s arms, sobbing her heart out, “Bryan, they killed my entire family. My father, mother, and grandfather are all dead!”
Lisa was heartbreakingly weak at this moment. Han Shuo patted her shoulder lightly and said in a soft voice, “You’re safe now. These people will get what’s coming to them.”
She hugged him fiercely, using all the strength in her body, as if wanting to prove that this moment was real. She stuck her pinky in her mouth and bit down on it, finally crying out in pain, “I’m not dreaming! I’m still alive. I want to get my revenge! I’m going to kill those brutal people!”
Lisa had always been a small terror at the Academy, but her entire being seemed to have undergone a change after such a drastic event in her life. The innocence on her face had been replaced by hatred, and it seemed like it was the only thing giving her the will to live in this moment.
“Escort her in and tell those inside to protect her. You’ll be coming with me.” Lawrence returned back to the carriage after giving his orders, with the man walking back outside after Lisa went in. He sat down in front of Han Shuo and Lawrence without saying a word.
Han Shuo took a good look at him as they sat face to face. He discovered that this man looked ordinary, and there was nothing overly special about his face at all. However, it was enough to prove that his strength wasn’t ordinary given that he could tail earth rider Clark without being discovered.
“His name is Lucky. He’s an assassin. The two with the groom outside are senior swordsman Divac and earth major adept mage Adela. We’re going to go kill Calvert now.” Lawrence first introduce his men to Han Shuo and then suddenly announced that they were going to go kill Calvert.
“What sort of plan do you have?” Han Shuo was silent at first and then spoke up in inquiry.
“Calvert is the loyal dog of Chief Ascher of the Gryphon Legion and is in charge of distribution of rations within Valen City. He’s also an officer in the Gryphon Legion and is thirty or forty years old. He only had one son called Caernand who once tried to rape Lisa, but Lisa chopped off his manhood instead. Thus, the two families formed an irresolvable feud. As a senior knight, Calvert has scores of servants at home. Many of them are part of the Gryphon Legion and aren’t too hard to take care of.” Lawrence slowly explained all of this, which proved that he must have thoroughly investigated him prior to all this.
“I happened to receive news that Clark has already returned to Valen City and seems to have arrived at Calvert’s home, seeming to bring some sort of instructions from his father.” Lucky, who’d remained silent until now, suddenly spoke up at this time.
Shock appearing on Lawrence’s face, his brow furrowed tight. Han Shuo’s heart also leapt as a thick killing intent appeared on his face.
Lawrence’s hesitant expression explained that he’d become uncertain with Clark’s appearance. However, having entered the true demon realm, plus the aid of the little skeleton and necromancy magic, Han Shuo was willing to go head to head with Clark. However, he too wasn’t certain if he could beat an earth rider, so he remained silent.
“Uncle Lucky, how confident would you be in killing Clark if you made a move?” Lawrence opened his mouth to ask the assassin Lucky after remaining silent, waiting for an answer.
“I’ve roughly fifty percent certainty.” Lucky replied indifferently.
Nodding, Lawrence said, “Alright, then you make the first move. I trust that with your strength, you’ll be able to retreat safely even if you don’t succeed. We can then judge based off Clark’s condition to see if we need to make a move as well.”
“Mm, I think there’s no way that Clark will be able to find me if I want to leave!” Lucky responded.
“I think if I coordinate with Mr. Lucky, I’ll be able to increase the odds by thirty percent.” Han Shuo looked at Lucky and suddenly spoke.
“Bryan, are you certain you won’t be discovered and won’t affect Uncle Lucky?” Lawrence’s face was grave as he looked solemnly at Han Shuo.
“I feel that my inclusion will bring him aid. If you believe in me, I’d like to make a move with him.” Han Shuo said seriously as he looked back at Lawrence.
“Alright, Uncle Lucky, take him with you. Give up halfway through if things won’t do. We can always find another opportunity.” Lawrence thought for a moment and spoke to the assassin.
“Alright!” Lucky responded and looked at Han Shuo. “We’ll leave immediately. If Calvert’s house catches on fire later, that means the mission’s a go and you can come charging in. Otherwise, don’t come near us.”
“Don’t worry, I know what to do. Be careful.” Lawrence nodded.
“Let’s go.” Lucky looked at Han Shuo and jumped down softly from the carriage. He jumped up and landed on a roof that was three meters up without making a sound.
Han Shuo took a deep breath in and concentrated, focusing his magical yuan to employ the “Art of the Demonic Ninth Heavens” to take a great leap as well. His body flew out in midair as he jumped even higher than Lucky, also landing silently beside the assassin.
“Eh!” Lucky looked back at Han Shuo in surprise as the corners of his indifferent face tugged upwards. He said faintly, “Not bad, perhaps you really can assist me.”
The old assassin didn’t look at Han Shuo afterwards as his body started threading through the roofs agilely, seeming to glide through them like a wild ghost, making Han Shuo greatly admire his agility.
However, having already reached the true demon realm, Han Shuo’s agility and pliability were just as extraordinary. Making use of his supernatural five senses, he followed closely behind Lucky and didn’t fall behind at all.
