Chapter 838 - GDK 838: Make it big!
“My Lord, that guy must be mentally ill! How laughable, that puny little fella wants Your Lordship to submit to him! We should finish him off!” Haruli’s gang members started angrily cursing after they were away from Han Shuo and his party. From their point of view, what Han Shuo did was a great insult to their leader and he should be killed for it.
“Lunatic! No wonder Buzz wants to finish them. What a bunch of death seekers!” remarked another of Haruli’s followers in a scowl. He added, “We don’t even have to do anything to them – they will automatically be dead after they leave the Omphalos!”
Haruli was wearing a dark face. He did not expect to hear that proposal from someone as weak as Han Shuo and was rather offended by it.
He was one of the top characters in the Fringe. He had never really lost any battle during his many years in the Fringe and his reputation was on par with Buzz’s. That was the reason he dared to offer Han Shuo and his party protection.
He originally thought that Han Shuo and his party will definitely accept his proposal and spend the million black crystal coins in exchange for his protection. Although it was a hefty price, it was nothing compared to eight lives. However, not only that Han Shuo had immediately declined his offer, Han Shuo wanted Haruli to work for him. To Haruli, that was beyond what a sane mind would do.
“Lohia, go keep an eye on them. Immediately notify me when they are about to leave the city. I want to watch them die!” Haruli coldly groaned before he instructed one of his followers.
A highgod of earth nodded and immediately turned to one of the tangled and complicated streets. He tracked and observed Han Shuo and his party from a distance.

“I have not heard of Haruli before. But if he has the courage to go against Buzz, then he must have extraordinary strength. Master, that was a little too blunt!” Rose was between laughter and tears. She could not understand how Han Shuo could say that to Haruli just like that. Haruli was a character ranking near the top in the Fringe. Before Han Shuo proved that he possessed greater strength, those words will only seem laughable to others.
Through detailed observation, they could estimate a person’s strength and net-worth. After making the assessment, they will contact their accomplices outside the city, assemble a team of greater strength to intercept and rob the person.
After buying from a few more stalls, Han Shuo no longer needed Rose’s guidance. He too could tell which of the sellers were actually raiders. While walking towards the gate of the Omphalos, Han Shuo happily purchased many valuable items that were selling at a greatly discounted price while wearing an amiable smile. He was scheming against the schemers.
Gradually, more and more people were following behind Han Shuo. Other than Buzz and Haruli’s subordinates, those who had sold their goods to Han Shuo would also secretly follow behind him.
Outside the Omphalos, various forces were busy assembling outside the gate that Han Shuo will use. They were hiding in various locations.
“There is a fat sheep to be slaughtered! Brothers, pay extra attention to this one! That fella has at least a few million black crystal coins. When he was buying things from Fengi, he was seen tossing out a few large sacks of black crystal coins. If we get him, we can take a very long break!”
“Eh? Isn’t that Buzz’s man? Dafuq, how did he receive news as well? It seems that this is going to be troublesome.”
“Hey, Haruli’s man is also following him. How did that fella offend so many people?! We better keep some distance and not be rash. Let’s see how things go first.”
….
Gradually, more and more forces were assembled outside the checkpoint. They were quite familiar with each other. They were wearing dark faces as they were secretly waiting for Han Shuo and the parties to exit the Omphalos.
“Lord Haruli, twenty or thirty forces are gathering from every direction. They seem to be targeting the same group of people!” informed a person who was hiding outside the city gate.
Haruli cursed, “Lunatic, that fella is indeed a lunatic! He has drawn most of the fierce characters around here. What the fuck is that guy thinking? Is he trying to get himself killed spectacularly?”
