GDK 526: Visiting Advisor
As Crosius and Han Shuo conversed, Qunoa, who was supposed to lead the way for Han Shuo, rushed in somewhat anxiously. All he could do was stare in awe when he saw that Han Shuo was standing face to face with Crosius in a unyielding manner. Soon after, Qunoa looked at Crosius curiously, seeming to seek his opinion.
All of a sudden, a dozen level-three Destroyers appeared out of nowhere. Walking on empty air, they circled Han Shuo. Amongst them, a pale old man stared at Han Shuo with ice-cold eyes, as though looking at a dead man. Once Han Shuo was completely surrounded, the old man turned and respectfully asked Crosius, “My Lord, what punishment shall be handed to this unruly scum?”
Crosius looked at Han Shuo with a pensive expression, and mumbled to himself. He then waved his hand and ordered, “You all are dismissed.”
The pale old man was stunned at Crosius’ order. The old man’s entire life in War Demon Valley, he had never before witnessed anyone trespass and leave the place without at least a few dismembered limbs. Now that Crosius had suddenly become so magnanimous, the old man could not quite react.
“Yes, my Lord!” the old man replied with due respect, nodding his head. Even though his mind was clouding with questions, he did not question a word. The old man along with the group of guards returned to their concealment place and vanished out of sight.
Crosius looked at Han Shuo deeply. It was only when the guards disappeared did his attention move onto Qunoa who was standing behind Han Shuo. With an amiable expression, he said, “Qunoa, come on in.” Qunoa returned a smile. Perhaps it was because the two had been through tough times together, and so Crosius had great trust in Qunoa, while Qunoa was not as terrified of Crosius as an average person was. Afterwards, Qunoa bowed and gestured towards Han Shuo, and said, “This way please.”
Han Shuo proceeded bluntly. Even though he understood that the master of War Demon Valley, Crosius, possessed uncomparable strength, Han Shuo had confidence that he could escape from Crosius unscathed. Without hesitation, Han Shuo accepted Qunoa’s invitation and entered the incredibly spacious room unruffled.
From the room, one was able to view the entirety of War Demon Valley. Although the room occupied an enormous amount of space, it wasn’t well decorated. In it were only a few strange tables and chairs made of stone piled up. After Han Shuo and Qunoa entered the room, Crosius pointed to the few empty stone chairs ahead, indicating to Han Shuo and Qunoa to take a seat.
When they all sat down, Crosius spoke, “Brakyah is one of six Raksha of my War Demon Valley. In any other instance, I would not have gotten involved if you were to kill him in a battle. However, War Demon Valley is going through a crucial time and Brakyah could be useful to have. That is why I sent Qunoa to have you spare his life.”
“Good! Then you are one of us. Rest assured that once the matter is over, I will provide you with my assistance,” Crosius pledged as he revealed yet another rather gauche smile.
Looking at Crosius’ current appearance, Han Shuo was certain that the beautiful young lady Han Shuo met earlier must have been born to a woman of a much different race from Crosius. There weren’t many similarities between father and daughter.
