Chapter 896 - Composure
***In Witherbone City, the Kiaran Residence.
Inside a grandiose and lavishly decorated meeting room, the patriarch of the House of Kiaran was wearing a faint smile as he read a scroll handed to him by Emily.
Standing beside Emily was Bollands and Stratholme. Others, especially Sanguis, Bollands, and Phoebe who tended to be impulsive, were not allowed to join the meeting lest they bring calamity to the House of Han.
On that day, Emily handed the scroll describing one of the demonic combat formations that Bollands, Sanguis, and Gilbert had documented to Sha-t’o.
After hearing those words relayed by Dagassi, Emily and the others knew that if they continued to keep their lips tightly shut, Sha-t’o and those treacherous leaders of Witherbone City might run out of patience and exterminate their family clan, extracting the secrets they wanted from their souls.
Hoping to stay alive for as long as possible, Emily agreed to their demand but handed them just one of the demonic combat formation training methods.
After having waited for so long and pressuring the House of Han with all kinds of methods, Sha-t’o finally got the scroll he wanted. Needless to say, he felt pretty delighted.
However, as Sha-t’o carefully read the scroll, that smile on his face gradually turned dark. And when he finished it, he angrily flung the scroll. <i>Pa!</i> It was propelled by a forceful energy and slapped loudly on Bollands’ cheek.
“You trying to make a fool out of me with these stupid scribblings? How in the world can they be better at team-combat just by dancing around in those nonsensical steps? Ridiculous!” Sha-t’o wore a dark face as he glared at the three members of the House of Han. He took a deep breath and coldly groaned, “My House of Kiaran has demonstrated our good faith. Not only are we housing your Han Family in our Residence, but we are also giving you millions of black crystal coins. But all we get in return is this bullshit?”
It was obvious that Sha-t’o had deliberately slapped Bollands with the scroll to humiliate Bollands and the House of Han.
“What happened?” asked Sanguis and Gilbert simultaneously. Among the Han Family, Sanguis and Gilbert were the closest to Bollands. They could tell from Emily and Stratholme’s reactions that something must have happened to Bollands. “Old guy, what happened?”
“Sha-t’o was…” Stratholme recounted what took place in the meeting room with a cold face.
After hearing the recount, without saying a word, Sanguis started marching out the building angrily. It appeared that he was going to draw blood!
Gilbert roared and shouted as though he had gone mad, “Outrageous, outrageous! I’ve had enough of those fuckers! I’ll kill them all!”
“The two of you, get back here!” Stratholme, Emily, Ayermike, and the others hastily shouted. They knew that if Sanguis and Gilbert walked out of the building and started killing those of the House of Kiaran, a war would erupt and the House of Han might all perish with them in the Kiaran Residence.
“You can continue to cower, but I won’t do that any longer! I decide what I do with my life!” shouted Gilbert angrily as though it was him who had been insulted instead of Bollands.
Gilbert and Sanguis possessed outstanding strengths. Stratholme, Phoebe, and the others were unable to stop them from leaving. They were alarmed after seeing that the two wouldn’t listen to their advice and continued marching out the building to draw blood despite knowing that they would end up killing themselves.
“Get back here!” Bollands bunched his brows and coldly commanded, “Senior Brother had said that the two of you must listen to my instructions while he is away!”
Bollands felt some warmth in his cold heart. The three usually hung out together and frequently had friendly duels with each other. As time passed, they had gradually formed a very strong bond.
“But… but…” murmured Sanguis and Gilbert as they looked at Bollands.
“We will have our revenge!” Bollands looked at the two and calmly said, “But not today! Now is not the time yet! Do not jeopardize the entire House of Han with your recklessness!”
Sanguis and Gilbert stared at the icy Bollands. After a long while, they sighed and gave up on the idea.
