Chapter 691 - The five families
GDK 691: The five families
Han Shuo stepped into the House of Lavers following Donna. After walking through a bunch of boundaries and energy towers, they arrived inside a tall building where Donna lived.
Illuminated by magical lamps, the interior was showcased gloriously. They stepped into a big lounge, where Donna invited Han Shuo to have a seat. She then asked with bright eyes about his journey to this place.
Han Shuo briefly described some of the events he encountered ever since arriving at the interplanar transportation facility. Donna very patiently listened to Han Shuo narrate his story before she sighed, “It seems that I wasn’t thoughtful enough. I did not anticipate that you would run into godhunters and multiple times at that. It’s such a fortunate coincidence that Lord Erebus found Brovst. Otherwise, it would have been disastrous for you!”
“I heard that Erebus is one of the seven chiefs of divine guard in the City of Shadows. When he descended upon the valley, I could sense the terrifying aura on him. What kind of strength does he have?” Han Shuo creased his brows and asked. He was very interested in this being they called Erebus although he had never actually seen his face. He had previously examined the vestiges of the great battle between Erebus and Brovst. He wanted to verify his estimation of their strengths through Donna.
“That’s right. Lord Erebus is one of the seven chief divine guards. Possessing mid-stage highgod strength, of the seven, his strength numbers in third place. He is a well-known expert in the City of Shadows!” Donna further explained, “All seven chief divine guards came from the five major families of the City of Shadows. My uncle, Avery, is also one of the seven. But he ranks merely in the fifth place. He possesses early-stage highgod strength.”
“Other than your House of Lavers, who are the four major families in the City of Shadows? Which is the strongest?” Han Shuo suddenly got interested in hearing Donna introduce the distribution of strength in the City of Shadows. After coming to an alien environment, the first thing that one should do was to familiarize with oneself with the surroundings. Han Shuo knew from experience that it would be useful to know who could be dangerous and which people he could not afford to offend for the time being.
Donna smiled and immediately began to explain the distribution of strength in the City of Shadows to Han Shuo.
Han Shuo quickly came to understand that in the City of Shadows, other than the Lavers Family where Donna belonged, there were the Sainte Family, Kinson Family, Kisa Family, and Buller Family. Of them, the Sainte Family was the strongest as the patriarch of the Sainte Family, Tracy, was the City Lord of the City of Shadows. The chief divine guards that ranked in the top three all belonged to the Sainte Family. Therefore, the Sainte Family had the greatest influence in the entire City of Shadows.
The other four families, including the Lavers Family, obviously fell short in terms of influence compared to the Sainte Family. There wasn’t too much of a discrepancy between the four in terms of strength. Their family members also enjoyed prestige and took on high positions in the City of Shadows. They had their own divine guards and were in control of many of the shops and gyms in the city.
“Actually, I don’t need any divine weapons. In fact, I have so much in excess that I need to get rid of some!” Han Shuo said to Donna smilingly as they walked along a street lined with shops.
“What?” Donna stared blankly for a moment before she giggled, “When we left Profound Continent, we only left you a dozen something purple crystal coins. Those were enough for you to come and locate me but to purchase suitable divine weapons, that amount is far from adequate. Divine weapons selling at that price are no good. You must have been scammed.”
“Well, take a look at these. Are they any good?” Han Shuo handed a space ring to Donna. It contained the divine weapons and divine devices he collected in the Void, items he plundered from the dead bodies of Kaiser, Eriksson, and those who perished in the godhunter’s valley. He had kept his invaluable divine essences and some divine weapons potentially useful to him in another space ring.
As Han Shuo had removed the seal on the space ring, Donna knew what was contained inside as soon as she came into contact with the space ring.
Donna stared at Han Shuo with astonishment. After scanning through each and every item in the space ring, she forced a smile and remarked, “I think, I should sell these divine weapons for you instead of getting you one. Bryan, I truly cannot understand how in the world you got your hands on these things. Truly did not make out that you are actually fairly wealthy!”
