Chapter 630 - Petty Thief
GDK 630: Petty Thief
All this took place in just the fraction of a second. Belinda and Edwin didn’t even realize what was happening until it was well over. All they saw was that the six-horned tribal king was suddenly pinned down by Han Shuo and unable to move a muscle!
After letting go of the tribal king, Han Shuo calmly looked at the tribal king still nailed to the wall and maintaining the same posture. Strange lights were flickering from the six-horned tribal king’s eyes. He looked to be in deep thought.
“Lord Bryan, this is our honored guest!” Edwin suddenly came to his senses and stuttered to Han Shuo.
Belinda looked deeply and attentively at Han Shuo with complicated emotions in her eyes. Her heart was filled with bitterness as she came to witness just how different Han Shuo had become. When this six-horned tribal king of the Soul Race caused havoc to the Calamity Church headquarters five years ago, Belinda just so happened to be there. She had witnessed with her very own eyes the scene in which this six-horned tribal king stood high and tall even as he faced the Pope and several other cardinals. She was very clear as to just how mighty this six-horned tribal king was.
However, it was precisely this very same alien race expert who was being held down by Han Shuo so suddenly. Furthermore, this alien expert had even calmly admitted to the fact that he was inferior to Han Shuo. Belinda was appalled.
It had merely been a dozen or so years. How could this person become so inconceivably mighty?
Belinda felt even more fearful the more she thought about it. She was further humbled for the fear she might do something inappropriate and cause Han Shuo’s displeasure.
“Honored guest?” Han Shuo looked at the six-horned tribal king smilingly, kept silent for a moment, and nodded as he said, “That makes sense. You wouldn’t be here unless you have built a relationship with the church.”
The six-horned tribal king maintained a pondering posture for a long time before turning his gaze on Han Shuo again and asked him in that slightly inarticulate voice, “You, how did you get so powerful so quickly? Why do you have three souls?”
Upon hearing those words, Han Shuo seemed to have suddenly seen the light. He softly cried, “So that’s the case! Those Origin Crystals that we acquired back at Tarrag Canyon, are those the energies you people need to evolve?”
“It’s ‘stole’! You all stole!” the six-horned tribal king corrected Han Shuo. His gazes towards Han Shuo had a few traces of humanly resentment. Only then did he answer, “That’s right. Those are the energies we can absorb. I had finally found them after searching for many years. I was preparing to use that energy to let another of my people evolve a sixth horn. But you guys wrecked it.”
Han Shuo was shocked. He had no knowledge that the people of this race only evolved by absorbing energy. Han Shuo felt rather amused when he saw this tribal king, who rarely revealed any emotion, showed grievance. He said, “It’s just a few elemental Origin Crystals, not anything particularly valuable. It’s been so many years, do you have to constantly keep it in mind?”
“We have only managed to collect those after searching for many years. But you petty thieves stole it from us during the critical moment. You people are scum among scum!” the six-horned tribal king looked eyes with Han Shuo. He didn’t seem to understand the situation as he bluntly revealed his murderous intention to Han Shuo.
Han Shuo actually felt embarrassed to hear the tribal king being so mindful of those Origin Crystal and constantly complaining that he stole his things. When Han Shuo thought about it now, he and his gang had indeed conducted the raid out of greed. They went in to snatch their possessions while the six-horned tribal king was busy deploying something, stealing away the chance for his people to evolve. Whichever way one spun it, Han Shuo and his gang were in the wrong. The six-horned tribal king was right in calling them petty thieves.
But nonetheless, Han Shuo felt displeased to be called a petty thief. He coldly groaned, saying, “Can you not say ‘petty thief’ every time you open your mouth? It’s just a few broken crystals. Is it even worth remembering for all these years?”
“If you return them, then I will stop calling you that!” The six-horned tribal king was quite an amusing one. He wasn’t afraid of death but persisted in taking back what was rightfully his.
Han Shuo stared blankly for a moment and a thought crossed his mind. He silently checked the items inside his space ring. Afterward, the space ring gave off a flash and several crystals of different colors materialized in his hand. Among them were an Origin Crystal of Water and a divine essence of fire. Han Shuo collected these crystals from that valley inside the Void and had no use for them.
“Here, see if there’s anything you can use. I will give it to you as compensation,” Han Shuo opened his palm and revealed the crystal to the six-horned tribal king.
The six-horned tribal king turned his expressionless gaze at it and immediately froze in place. For the first time ever, strange lights appeared in his cruel and merciless eyes. Han Shuo knew that those radiances screamed exhilaration and excitement!
