Chapter 63: Snobbish base person
Han Shuo knew in his heart what three thousand gold coins meant. This was indeed enough to buy a lot of lives. Even when he understood that he had been inexplicably embroiled into a sticky situation, his original anger was instantaneously crushed by gold coins when Phoebe mentioned the astronomical price of three thousand gold coins.
“Don’t be happy too early. At this point, I think you can probably guess what’s going on without further words from me. The person who’s purchased murder and wants ‘Shadow Ghost’ to kill me is my ‘dear and beloved’ Uncle Grover.
My uncle has wealth that speaks louder than others. There are many skilled talents by his side who can make you die unknowingly. Besides, after the events of today, my uncle is sure to tell ‘Shadow Ghost’ that you were the one who killed the three assassins. ‘Shadow Ghost’ is a killer organization that is renowned for seeking revenge for the smallest grievances. I think you’ll have many troubles ahead of you.” Upon seeing Han Shuo’s satisfied smile, Phoebe thought for a moment and felt that she had to speak up and warn Han Shuo.
“Heh heh, this has nothing to do with me. When I leave the Boozt Merchant Guild, I’ll hide myself well. Whether it’s ‘Shadow Ghost’ or your uncle, none of them will be able to find me. It won’t be that easy for them to kill me.”
Han Shuo had already thought of these matters when he accepted this matter. After he left the Boozt Merchant Guild, he would immediately conceal traces of his movement. After he’d given the gold coins to Fanny, he’d directly asked for some time off and made use of the transportation matrix hidden within the space ring to train at the cemetery of death for some time. He’d be able to avoid Phoebe’s troubles in this way.
“I see, I’m at ease then since you’ve made plans already. I’ve pushed everything onto you because I didn’t wish to reveal my strength too early. Otherwise when ‘Shadow Ghost’ sends even stronger assassins, I would be hard pressed to handle them even with my strength as a swordmaster.”
Nodding, Han Shuo smiled, “I understand. Since you’ve already paid gold coins for me to be your scapegoat, then I, naturally, have nothing to say. I have absolutely no interest in the internal affairs of your Boozt Merchant Guild. If there’s nothing else, can you take inventory of my items? I’ll leave after receiving the gold coins.”
“Alright, Fabian, take out the items in his bags and look them over.”
Fabian had calmed down by now and upon hearing Phoebe’s words, immediately walked towards Han Shuo’s thirteen bags and took out the items within the bags one by one, counting them up. He finally said respectfully to Phoebe, “Miss, these items should be worth about four thousand gold.”
Laughing coldly, Han Shuo’s body suddenly dashed forward and arrived in front of them before their punches had landed. His left and right hands pressing down on their chests, the activation of the “Mystical Glacial Spellfire”, and a faint cloud of magical air respectively tinged purple and red sank into their chests.
Giving way to a long laugh, Han Shuo had already taken great strides out before they’d had a chance to react, swiftly leaving the Mystical Glacial Spellfire. Although the two clouds of purple and red magical air wouldn’t take their lives, it was enough for the two to be in agony for quite a while.
After leaving the Boozt Merchant Guild, Han Shuo’s extraordinary senses allowed him to sense that there seemed to be someone following him. He raised his attention to the highest and weaved rapidly within large streets and small alleyways, constantly changing his directions and barrelling towards areas with a lot of people.
After quite a while, when Han Shuo felt that no one was following him, he found a random clothes shop and obtained a new set of clothes. He then hired a carriage and started out in the direction of the Academy.
