Chapter 932 - She’s my woman!
GDK 932: She’s my woman!
Although Han Shuo could not let them devour another person’s divine energy, he could extract divine energy from a person and process it with special medicinal ingredients, producing an elixir that would have similar effects to divine essences.
“I will find a solution to this, just don’t be a godhunter!” Han Shuo had always given them plenty of freedom and rarely intervened in their activities. The fact that he issued them a direct command prohibiting them from devouring divine energy showed that he was gravely concerned about the repercussions.
Gilbert and the others had been hesitant about devouring another person’s divine energy because they were also aware that becoming a godhunter was a path of no return. So as soon as they heard Han Shuo promising them an alternative, they immediately cast the idea out of their minds. All of them nodded and promised that they would not even dabble with the idea.
“Good. You should continue studying the memories you obtained from the crystal balls and get a better grip over their understanding of the edicts and elements. Also, do not leave the Pandemonium for the time being. There’s no need to concern yourself with the situation outside,” said Han Shuo.
Following Han Shuo’s order, the party dispersed one after another. Deep in their hearts, these core members of the Han family understood that everything Han Shuo did was for their own sake. They were no longer desperate to raise their divine energies and went back to calmly study the profound knowledge in those crystal balls.
Han Shuo then exited the underground palace, summoned Zovic, and demanded a report about the recent occurrences in the Fringe.
“Tyre and Logue have been meeting frequently. Together, the two of them have managed to subdue over 70 percent of all forces scattered around the Fringe. Ossora and Wasir are far behind. Most of the forces they have taken in are those who were already aligned with them. Combined, they have absorbed just 20 percent of all forces. The remaining 10 percent remain undecided…
“As of late, godhunters have been unusually active in the borders of Space, Destiny, Death, and Lightning Dominions, which has drawn great attention from cities in those Dominions. It seems the Godhunter Alliance is just around the corner and the Fringe is on the verge of being attacked…”
Zovic courteously and patiently reported the recent happenings in the Fringe to Han Shuo. When he completed his report, Zovic put on a confused look and asked, “My Lord, many faction leaders have come to us, wishing to serve the Pandemonium. Why did your Lordship decline them? Wouldn’t it be better to gather as much of the forces as we can, so that we would have more chips to use when the war breaks out?”
Han Hao glared at his subordinates who were ogling Scarlett with immodest eyes, let out a cold groan, and sternly announced, “She is my woman! Look at her that way again and I will gouge your eyes out!”
The lecherous looks on their faces were immediately replaced with appall and they instantly averted their gazes from Scarlett. They understood that although their leader was rather young, he was cruel, callous, and most importantly, a man of his words. He would do exactly as he said with no compromise.
While terrified, those Chiefs were also baffled. Having served Han Hao for ages, they had never seen Han Hao express any sort of romantic interest in another living being. From their point of view, Han Hao was just an emotionless, unmoving rock. The party was greatly astonished to hear those words come out from Han Hao’s mouth. They were almost in disbelief.
Scarlett was irritated by their indecent gazes and was just about to lash out at Polo and the others when Han Hao suddenly made the threat. Scarlett was overjoyed and she felt as though her heart was filled with the sweetest honey. She threw a seductive glance at Han Hao as she thought, Finally, he’s starting to get it!
“Erm, we are sorry… We did not know that you were the Chief’s woman…” Polo put on an awkward and embarrassed smile before bowing at Scarlett and said, “We are really sorry… We have never known that Chief is interested in women and therefore thought that… Haha… Really sorry about that… “ Polo was Han Hao’s most senior aide and therefore immediately extended an olive branch to Scarlett.
Scarlett no longer felt any anger at them. She nodded smilingly and magnanimously replied, “I will forgive you for doing so in ignorance. I won’t hold grudges over such a trivial matter. We are all on the same side, after all.”
Han Hao cast a cold glance at Polo and groaned yet again. In a rather annoyed tone, he said, “That’s enough talking, now go get busy. Those from the Alliance will be attacking very soon and you bunch better have the defenses ready before they are here. There’s no time to waste!”
“Yes, yes…” Polo was yet again jolted. He stealthily took a peek at Han Hao as he thought, Come on, I’m only having a few words with her and already you are separating us. Do you really have to be so possessive?
Polo and others hastily left to carry out their orders. Han Hao then led Scarlett to his underground palace and said, “Come, let’s go to the Pandemonium.”
