Chapter 902 - : Who else?
Inside the Kiaran Residence of Witherbone City, Sha-t’o, one of the top characters in the city in terms of strength and influence, was being skinned alive by the callous Bollands. After a long long while, Sha-t’o stopped making his miserable shrieks. His body spasmed for some time before it turned motionless.
No one in the crowd dared step forward to stop Han Shuo after sensing the terrifying aura he was emanating. Those who had participated in attacking the House of Han were palpitating and dread could be seen in their eyes.
The House of Han who had been oppressed for a long time became visibly excited after Sha-t’o was dead. Despite having complete trust in Han Shuo’s strength, they did not expect that Han Shuo would have made such giant leaps. Even the top-notch experts of Witherbone City and the City Lord dared not mess with Han Shuo.
“Who else?” Han Shuo asked Emily.
Emily scanned the surrounding crowd with murderous eyes before it stopped on Hill the City Lord. She pointed at him and said, “This guy! He is the City Lord of Witherbone City. Without his backing, Sha-t’o wouldn’t have the courage to do something so brazen and outrageous!” Emily had heard a thing or two from Dagassi and knew that Hill played an important role in their persecution.
In fact, back then when the House of Han’s appeal for help reached Witherbone City, it wasn’t Sha-t’o who came up with the sinister plan to trap and force the House of Han to give up their secrets – it was the ambitious and greedy Hill. He was the real mastermind.
“What? I got nothing to do with this!” When Hill saw that the members of the Han Family seemed to be pacified after Sha-t’o was dead, he thought that the matter was over and he wouldn’t be implicated. But who knew that Emily would point him out out of the blue.
As the City Lord, Hill was not supposed to be so flustered. However, as he had sensed the unstoppable power on Han Shuo and having witnessed Sha-t’o being flayed alive right in front of him, he lost his usual bearing. Sha-to’s inhuman, miserable shrieks still echoed in his ears.
Han Shuo cracked an incredibly chilling grin as he sized up Hill. He said, “Do you think I would trust yours or my people’s words?”
Han Shuo wore a dark face as he silently led his family clan to the nearest city gate. Wherever he went, the divine guard would automatically withdraw a few steps backward. It was obvious that they were very afraid of Han Shuo.
Every member of the House of Han followed closely behind Han Shuo. They spoke not a word as they marched through the streets. By the morning of the second day, they arrived at the nearest city gate.
It seemed as though those Witherbone divine guards had been notified in advance. Long before the House of Han was near the city gate, they had swung those gates wide open for the House of Han to exit the city.
Without meeting the slightest impedance, the House of Han led by Han Shuo finally stepped out of the Witherbone City.
After traveling for another half-a-day, when the House of Han had made quite some distance from Witherbone City, Sanguis finally couldn’t hold his curiosity. He hesitated for a moment before he asked Han Shuo, “Shifu, are you really going to let Hill off the hook?”
“I will escort you all away from the Death Dominion. You all will be safe once you are outside the Dominion,” Han Shuo took a deep breath before he turned to Emily and Stratholme and instructed, “After leaving the Death Dominion, head to the Ethereal City of the Space Dominion. Look for McKinley the City Lord. He will get you all settled.”
“Bryan, don’t do it, please!” Emily was worried about Han Shuo’s safety. She begged, “Please just let it pass. After all, it was Sha-t’o who had done those things to us and he is dead. I don’t want to take any more revenge… “
“Bryan, if you kill Hill, you could anger the Overgod!” Stratholme was astonished after realizing Han Shuo’s plan.
“Yes, I know I might offend the Overgod, that is why I’m bringing you all out of the Death Dominion now. If I had killed him just then and the Overgod appears, I might be able to escape but you bunch might be exterminated by the divine guards. As long as your safeties are assured, I don’t mind fucking up Witherbone City. Humph, to think that I’m afraid of the Overgod of Death, how foolish of Hill!” coldly groaned Han Shuo.
When Han Shuo saw that his family clan members were still going to persuade him against doing it, he raised one palm and said, “That’s enough, I have made my decision.”
“Senior brother, do you have the confidence?” asked Bollands calmly.
“I have the confidence of not losing my life, not even to an Overgod with the Quintessence,” replied Han Shuo after he put on a faint smile.
Bollands nodded and said nothing more. Under Han Shuo’s escort, the House of Han made detours around various major cities of the Death Dominion as they traveled in the direction of the Space Dominion.
Lest they invite even more troubles, the House of Han hastened on with their journey. After two months, they officially stepped out of the territories of the Death Dominion. They continued traveling towards the Space Dominion.
Meanwhile, Han Shuo quietly left the group and returned to the Death Dominion all alone.
He was planning to murder not just City Lord Hill of Witherbone City, but even City Lord Wallace of the City of Shadows. He was planning to offend not just one of the Overgods but two in one go.
