Chapter 285: Dazzling
Phoebe sat alone after Andrew left, frowning in contemplation. It seemed that the crisis the Boozt Merchant Guild was facing was indeed very serious. Otherwise Phoebe wouldn’t choose to strike using a gambling method, given her cautious nature.
Han Shuo slowly came in without a sound, his eyes bright as he looked at Phoebe as soon as he entered the door. After a moment of silence, Phoebe was suddenly surprised. Looking up to see Han Shuo, she revealed a smile and said with delight, “You’ve come back?”
“Rest assured, Leah Cain will die to my sword tomorrow, without a doubt!” Han Shuo smiled and walked towards Phoebe. He reached out his hand and smoothened the spot between her wrinkled eyebrows before speaking softly.
“I believe you. Our Boozt Merchant Alliance took out seven hundred thousand gold coins this time. Cameron will have to compensate us five times that amount based on the current odds as long as you kill Leah Cain. Cameron won’t be able to bear the costs no matter how much money he has. After this victory, our Boozt Alliance will have an enormous amount of gold coins and the danger from Cameron’s group will naturally disappear!” Phoebe very much enjoyed Han Shuo’s tenderness. She relaxed her body and leaned on his chest, saying softly.
“Alright, go rest early. I’ll meditate here for tonight. I’ll go to the Garden House tomorrow to issue a challenge to Leah Cain and settle this problem as soon as possible!” Han Shuo patted Phoebe’s shoulder and urged.
Phoebe nodded meekly upon hearing Han Shuo’s words. Her expression relaxed into a smile as she said, “Rest assured, I’ll come with you tomorrow and watch you kill Leah Cain for myself. I know you’ll definitely win!”
Phoebe didn’t stay after finishing speaking. She walked into the back room with a chuckle and softly said, “After you win, keep me company for a nice chat!”
Han Shuo sat cross-legged in the hall after Phoebe left. He silently circulated his magical yuan and recovered his mental strength bit by bit, gradually adjusting the state of his body.
In Han Shuo’s body, the demon infant was as if surrounded by a bloody whirlpool. Each drop of blood essence was like a precious ruby, sparkling translucently as each drop formed a red, lustrous crystal shape. The drops of blood essence swirled into a whirlpool and nourished the demon infant in its center. The layers of blood red mist, which was the killing intent gathered in the bloodlust realm, surrounded this whirlpool, also nourishing the demon infant.
Han Shuo came in following the guidance of the guard. All of the onlookers were blocked outside. After all, this place was private property, so no one could enter without the owner’s permission.
“Let us in, let us in!”
“That’s right, we have waited a long time for this! Please let us in!”
“I am Count Asi of the Lancelot Empire, I want to see Mister Leah Cain!”
After Han Shuo entered, the nobles and civilians outside tried various methods to access the Garden House. Not far from the place, several carriages slowly lined up. The decorations of these carriage were extremely luxurious. It only took a look to know they belonged to the nobility.
First Prince Charles led a group of aristocrats in a slow approach. The group included Mister Hahn and Emily of the Betteridge family, finance minister Eevee, along with Lawrence, Boris of the Northern Guard, and many other nobles.
Candide, along with tall, handsome Amyes, who had a refined presence and was one of the three heavyweights of the Dark Mantle, also appeared in a gazing pavilion opposite of the Garden House. Everyone was raptly watching the inner area of the Garden House.
