GDK 852: You must also obey him
One of the teenagers stared blankly for a moment. They did not understand why Han Hao would ask such a thing. “Well, we carried quite a lot of black crystal coins when we entered the Fringe. We wouldn’t have been able to live in the Omphalos till now if not,” one of them half-answered after hesitating for a moment.
These teenagers originated from various Dominions. They were either degenerates, or they must have done something reprehensible. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have been excommunicated by their families and banished to the Fringe. The fact that they could afford to live in the Omphalos for years, spending at least one hundred black crystal coins per day, meant that they had plenty on hand.
Han Hao carefully looked at the youngsters, bunched his brows, and started thinking. He remained silent for a while before he announced, “I will take you as my followers, but each of you will have to pay five hundred thousand black crystal coins as fees. I will not guarantee your safety – in fact, you will be in constant danger. However, I will guarantee that no one will be treated as cannon footers.”
“What! Five hundred thousand?!” the timid-looking girl cried out in surprise.
The teenagers looked at each other and found the decision difficult. Five hundred black crystal coins was no small fortune for the teenagers. It was more than enough for them to live safely in the Omphalos for at least a decade. To pay that amount of black crystal coins in exchange for exposing themselves to constant danger didn’t seem rational to them.
“You all came from family clans from all twelve Dominions. I promise that if you follow me, when you gain sufficient strength, I will assist you in retaking what is rightfully yours from your family clans. And, of course, I will help you take care of the people who have forced you to flee your home,” said Han Hao calmly after he noticed their hesitation.
Han Hao then gestured at them to leave as he said, “Go back and think about it carefully. If you do not have sufficient strength, even if I were to hand you your family clan, would you be able to secure it?”
The teenagers seemed somewhat tempted by Han Hao’s words. They again looked at each other and thought about Han Hao’s proposal. Then, one of them said, “Your words do make sense. We shall go back to discuss it. It’s not easy for all of us to take out five hundred black crystal coins, after all.”
Han Hao again closed his eyes and returned to being still and silent like a statue.
Those words of Luolong had managed to invoke Han Shuo’s interest. Although it was true that Han Shuo would not yield and bow to any of the powerhouses, he was more than willing to work with a Sovereign to defeat other Sovereigns.
After thinking about it, Han Shuo smiled. “Very well then, you may go set up the meeting. I will stay in the Omphalos for a few days. Just notify me after it has been arranged.”
“Alright, I will do just that. I shall not bother Mister Bryan any longer,” Luolong seemed very happy after hearing Han Shuo agreed to meet his master. He shouted at his guards, “I want you all to remember their faces. They are guests of Lord Ossora. Make sure that they have a pleasant stay. Kick anyone who tries to give them trouble out of the Omphalos!”
Han Shuo nodded smilingly before he stepped into the Omphalos with Rose and the others.
With one thought of his consciousness, Han Shuo immediately located Han Hao and Han Tu’s positions. He immediately led his party towards their location.
Han Shuo grew even more reassured of Han Hao’s safety after hearing about Kage’s death. It wasn’t just because of Han Hao’s strength, but also for his ability to execute a mission to such perfection that even Luolong had not suspected him. This showed that his intelligence had far exceeded an average being on Elysium.
As Han Shuo was relishing in the amazement, he arrived at a secluded region of the Omphalos.
As he got closer, he saw the cold looking Han Hao sitting cross-legged upon a boulder. Several teenagers wearing luxurious, expensive clothing were kowtowing before him, solemnly vowing their devotion to Han Hao. They also took out large amounts of black crystal coins and respectfully presented them to Han Hao.
When the crystal coins were presented, Han Tu put on a big smile and stepped forward to receive the crystal coins on behalf of Han Hao. He even patted on their shoulders in a friendly manner and said, “Good, good… From now on, we are all on the same boat… Hehehe… “
Han Hao raised his head and glanced at Han Shuo and his party who were approaching in the distance. He solemnly instructed the teenagers, “Remember this – in addition to me, you must also obey him!” and he pointed at Han Shuo.
