Chapter 281: Getting famous
Han Shuo was very busy over the next couple of days. He traveled through the majority of the Lancelot Empire through the teleportation matrixes. Within these few days, Han Shuo had killed three archmages, four swordmasters, and a great swordmaster all through challenges.
At the start, the challenges were rather smooth because Han Shuo’s age was extremely deceiving. His enemies would think that he was of no threat, and would furiously accept the challenge after being provoked by Han Shuo. Later on, after continuous successful challenges made Han Shuo’s name infamous, and when many powerful people linked together the identity of the people who had been killed, they silently started to have their own ideas.
Towards the end, the last three powerhouses on the list suddenly disappeared. Even after the Dark Mantle conducted thorough searches, they were unable to obtain any intelligence. Whenever Han Shuo reached a city, all of the experts within city would become worried, regardless of whether they’d done anything that they should feel guilty about. All of them were afraid that Han Shuo would look for them, and so they all disappeared under the guise of travelling.
These people couldn’t help it as the people that died in Han Shuo’s hands in recent days were all heavyweights. If they did not accept Han Shuo’s challenge, then it would have a huge impact on their reputation. But once they accepted it, they might lose their lives. That’s why they had no other choice but to find an excuse and hide.
When a great swordmaster died in Han Shuo’s hands, the caused the notorious name of the young expert Bryan to reach its climax, causing the rest of the names on the list to disappear. That was why Han Shuo could only return to Ossen city for further instructions from Candide.
“Lord Candide, it’s not that I didn’t try my best. The three people in the end disappeared completely. It seems that I can only wait until you find them,” Han Shuo and Candide were in a room in a small room at the north of the city.
“You did very well. His Majesty has already heard about your work, there is temporarily no need to take care of those three guys. We have another troublesome matter on our hands. If you can complete this task, His Majesty will definitely help you and grant you a noble
title,” Candide said with a low voice. He frowned and taking a sip from the cup of tea in his hands.
“Oh? What is it?” Han Shuo momentarily blanked then asked.
The moment he said that, Lawrence felt shocked, then insanely happy as he said, “Leah Cain is on the side of the first prince, Prince Charles. I am certain about this through my own means. Bryan, are you confident in killing him?”
“What do you think?” Han Shuo looked towards Lawrence with a smile that was not quite like a smile, and replied with a question.
“Of course you do. You are very miraculous, I believe you! How about this, I’ll help you since you are going to challenge Leah Cain and spread this far and wide. As long as you can beat Leah Cain, your notorious name can be bleached. Hehe, since Leah Cain is someone of the Brut Alliance, there is probably no one in our nation who likes him!” Lawrence laughed evilly.
“Do as you’d like. If there’s nothing else, then I’ll find you after killing Leah Cain!” Han Shuo said.
“Nothing else, nothing else. Go and busy yourself with your own business!” Lawrence smiled strangely as he looked towards Emily’s direction.
From Lawrence’s expression and speech, Han Shuo understood that the former already knew about the relationship between himself and Emily. This was likely because he’d noticed Han Shuo and Emily hiding behind a fake mountain and getting intimate during his family’s banquet. He become even more certain about this after the events of Valen City.
However, with Han Shuo and Lawrence’s relationship right now, Han Shuo naturally believed that Lawrence would seal his mouth shut.There was nothing good about this for Lawrence at all if it came to light.
“Mhmm, I’ll be off then!” Han Shuo replied, then turned and walked towards Emily’s direction.
“Let’s go!” said Han Shuo after arriving at Chester’s location and entered Emily’s carriage.
“Mmm… Bryan, too miraculous. That pill was too miraculous!” Emily leapt into his embrace the moment Han Shuo entered the carriage, grabbing him tightly and voluntarily presenting her lips, in obvious emotional agitation.
Chester acted like normal, pretending that he hadn’t heard anything as he slowly drove the carriage down the street.
After Chester’s carriage left, Candide gazed at the direction the carriage left in out of the shadow of a corner. He muttered, “I was wondering why Emily would help him so much. So this is why. This brat’s courage for lust is truly huge, he’s with Emily alright. God, what a playboy!”
