Chapter 138: We can be together
“I’m so sorry, it was because our defensive precautions weren’t good enough that it caused you to be frightened!” Finance Minister Eevee spoke with a look of worry to Hahn.
Waving his hands, Hahn’s face was grave as he said seriously, “Don’t apologize Eevee, I won’t hold you responsible. Don’t investigate this matter further, I’ll handle it myself.”
Eevee first heaved a sigh of relief when Hahn said so and then asked askance, “Why?”
“Honored father, since grandpa Hahn has already spoken, don’t think too much about it.” Lawrence’s face was a bit dark as he spoke to Eevee.
“Mm. Lawrence, don’t you worry either. I know who did this.” Hahn flicked a glance at Lawrence and seemed to know something as he spoke.
Lawrence nodded his head remotely and looked towards Han Shuo and Phoebe. He hesitated for a moment, then asked Phoebe, “Did Cameron try to force you to join his organization’s merchant alliance?”
“Yes, but I’ve already turned him down.” Phoebe responded.
“Very good, don’t give in at any cost, otherwise your Boozt Merchant Guild will face incredible danger.” Lawrence who contemplated silently gave this piece of advice to Phoebe.
Taking in their conversation, Han Shuo made his observations. He seemed to notice something from Lawrence and Hahn’s discussion, but since the two of them didn’t talk about anything tangible and so he didn’t inquire further.
“Alright alright, I promise you. As long as you help me seriously, I’ll promise you anything you want. I have no problem killing or setting fires for you, not to mention dancing.” As there were plenty of annoying matters that he’d have to bother Phoebe with in the future, Han Shuo agreed without any hesitation.
The two of them didn’t run into any troubles along the way as they returned amidst happy chatter. When they arrived at the Boozt Merchant Guild, Phoebe took out the materials that Han Shuo needed, including a few warehouses full of rations and daily necessities, almost filling up Han Shuo’s current space ring.
“Keep the other gold coins for me for now. In addition, these are the other materials that I need you to purchase, please continue collecting them for me.” The wood elite zombies and yin demons all needed to be refined. Han Shuo had therefore prepared another list and gave it to Phoebe after taking care of everything that needed his attention.
Looking over the list that Han Shuo handed over, Phoebe looked at Han Shuo with surprise, saying, “Rations for hundreds of people and all sorts of bizarre materials, just what are you planning on doing?”
“Heh heh, nothing much nothing much. Just take care of it for me and I’ll make up for the insufficient gold to you next time I visit.” Han Shuo didn’t explain much as he uttered this sentence and left the Boozt Merchant Guild, returning to the Academy alone.
When Han Shuo returned to the necromancy major, it was already pitch black outside. The chilly wind of winter howled through the night and it was so bone achingly cold that no one wanted to venture outside.
However, there was a figure standing not too far outside the entrance to the dorms. It was so cold that the figure’s small face was beet red as it continued to circle around a stone statue not too far away.
“What are you doing here?” Han Shuo couldn’t help but ask when he saw that the figure was Lisa.
“I’m waiting for you!” Lisa’s eyes displayed happiness when she saw Han Shuo appear and she quickly walked towards Han Shuo, speaking urgently.
His brow furrowing, Han Shuo took off the coat on his body and covered Lisa with it. He asked in bewilderment, “Why are you waiting here for me on such a cold night?”
Han Shuo’s movements made Lisa overjoyed, but she then spoke with a worried face, “My mother is sick and so I need to make a trip home. I may not come back for a while, so I wanted to say goodbye to you.”
“If it’s just a goodbye, you can tell me tomorrow. Why must you wait for me in the middle of the night?” Han Shuo hesitated when he saw that Lisa was still shaking, then activated the “Mystical Glacial Spellfire”, his right hand swayed slowly as waves of warmth came forth, warming Lisa’s trembling body.
“You often disappear mysteriously. I was afraid that I wouldn’t be able to see you because I’m leaving tomorrow, which is why I waited for you here. I didn’t know if you’d come back, but in the end you did.” Lisa breathed out softly in comfort when her body warmed up and then spoke softly to Han Shuo.
“Eh, you don’t have to go out of your way to come say goodbye to me.” Han Shuo felt that the atmosphere was a bit odd and was silent for a while before responding.
Lisa remained silent for a while, her gaze was fixed onto Han Shuo. She suddenly said, “Bryan, you said that you like me. You’re no longer a slave or an errand boy now. Come home with me, let’s be together.”
Han Shuo was greatly astonished by her words as he faced her, and he stood there, dumbfounded. He didn’t know what to say when he saw Lisa rigidly standing there with a solemn expression.
