Chapter 900 - Overwhelming power
GDK 900: Overwhelming power
When the members of the House of Han heard the thunderous roar, cheerfulness suddenly blossomed on their despair faces as though they saw the light at the end of the tunnel.
“It’s Master! It’s our Master!” exclaimed Gilbert emotionally. Every member of the House of Han was hoping that Han Shuo would find them and save them from the peril although they knew that it was very improbable. But perhaps the Creator had heard their prayers, Han Shuo came to their rescue at the last possible moment.
Not just Gilbert, but every member of the House of Han could immediately tell that it was Han Shuo. They could recognize Han Shuo’s voice and his ruthless aura that have now shrouded the entire Witherbone City.
“Master has become even stronger!” exclaimed Sanguis excitedly after he closed his eyes and carefully sensed the apocalyptic aura rapidly moving towards them.
“Defend! We just need to hold on until Bryan arrives and we will have nothing to worry about!” shouted Emily. Her cheeks and neck were flushed out of excitement.
To every member of the House of Han, Han Shuo, their patriarch, was an invincible existence. The House of Han guards who had been trained in the Eight Desolation and Torment Formation were also familiar with Han Shuo’s voice and aura.
Every member of the House of Han who was prepared to fight to their death became very emotional. Some even couldn’t help themselves but cheer out of excitement.
Every expert in Witherbone City felt a sense of danger from the tremendous aura. Hill and Sha-t’o, the two mightiest existences in Witherbone City, were dumbstruck as they stared at the direction that the aura originated.
Not just Hill and Sha-t’o, but even the divine guards of Hill and the House of Kiaran were so startled by the terrifying aura that they temporarily stopped attacking the House of Han. All of them turned to gaze at the menacing dark cloud rapidly approaching them.
Hill and Sha-t’o, as the strongest highgods present, could tell better than everyone else of just how formidable Han Shuo’s strength was. They were terrified because they knew they stand absolutely no chance against Han Shuo.
“There… there’s been a misunderstanding… “ stuttered Sha-t’o in a forced smile. His body was slightly bowing. He seemed even more humble to Han Shuo than to Hill.
Han Shuo swept his deadly eyes across Sha-t’o before he turned to Emily, Stratholme, and the others and asked, “What happened?”
“Certain people want the medicine formula of Celestial Pearl Pharmacy and the secrets to training our guards. They gave us three days to hand over everything, failing which, we would all be killed. But I doubt that they would let us live even if we surrender those secrets,” answered Stratholme loudly in a smirk as he looked at Hill and Sha-t’o.
“They have also abducted one of our House of Han guards and extracted his memories using the energy of death! And that Sha-t’o had once insulted Bollands… “ Emily stepped forward and loudly reported the suffering they received.
“Master, that is not all. They forced us to live in that shitty building, right behind that stinking Bone Refinery. Our matriarchs had often been puking because of it! Fucking hell, they have made so much black crystal coins with our Celestial Pearl’s name but as soon as we entered their City, they put us in house arrest and demand all our secrets! Fucking outrageous!” Gilbert started complaining and cursing at Hill and Sha-t’o.
As Han Shuo listened to Stratholme, Emily, Gilbert, and others’ recount, his face turned darker and darker. Han Shuo had learned from the Information Broker that the House of Han was in a bad situation, but it turned out that the reality was far worse than he had imagined. If he had not been rushing to Witherbone City at his top speed, he would have been too late and his family clan would have been annihilated.
“Mis… Misunderstanding… It’s a misunderstanding… “ Sha-t’o keep on repeating the word. He felt the stifling air around him becoming colder and colder.
