Chapter 213: A bloodthirsty urge
Han Shuo took a deep breath in and slowly repressed his aroused desire for blood. A slowly stirring urge to engage in slaughter was slowly calmed after a few deep breaths.
Under the gaze of Trunks and the others, Han Shuo’s original distant and bloodthirsty appearance started to slowly revert to normal after he took in a few deep breaths. The blood red light and that cruel aura all slowly disappeared until he returned to the form they were familiar with.
“What happened to you?” Emily finally breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Han Shuo return to normal. Her beautiful eyes looked anxiously at Han Shuo.
“My techniques were elevated to a new stage just now, and this new stage is incredibly difficult to control. I’m not that familiar with this new stage yet and lost my composure!” Han Shuo revealed a faint smile when his mindset returned to normal and explained to the others.
“I was so frightened. Your expression and aura earlier were really evil and scary. Even I felt terrified!” Trunks looked deeply at Han Shuo. His heart was pounding even now.
Of those present, only the little skeleton wasn’t reacting out of the ordinary. He started capering happily when he saw Han Shuo appear, and pointed at the corpses on the ground every now and then, seeming to be relaying his battle score to Han Shuo.
Chuckling lightly in gratification, Han Shuo could feel the little skeleton’s desire to show off, excitedly awaiting for Han Shuo’s compliments.
“Hey you brat, c’mere. Well done!” Beckoning his hand, Han Shuo stroked the little skeleton’s gleaming skull when the latter walked over docilely with his bone dagger. The little skeleton’s purple eye rolled around as his jaw bone clattered together, appearing quite at ease.
“Honored master, you’re truly prejudiced. You’ve never treated me this kindly!” Gilbert complained when he saw Han Shuo drown the little skeleton with love.
“Apart from these two, have any other experts joined the Rainbow Sickles these past few years?” Trunks continued to ask.
Laureton’s brow creased as he thought silently for a moment, then turned his head to look at Harris. “Give him a copy of our intelligence.”
Harris started and then nodded, taking out a scroll from his space ring and handing it over to Trunks. “The information regarding the Rainbow Sickles in here is likely going to be more detailed than what Miss Emily has.”
It looked like Harris and the others already knew of Emily’s identity. They were the ones who held true power within the valley, and the identities of those they watched over would naturally not escape their eyes.
Trunks nodded after scanning this scroll, then smiled at Laureton. “Very detailed. We’ll take care of Florida for you before the struggle for power begins!”
“If this is the case, I will thank you all greatly. Not only will this shop be unconditionally yours, Miss Phoebe’s guild shall be exempt from all taxes in the valley in the future.” Laureton laughed heartily and strode outside with great steps.
Harris, who followed closely behind Laureton looked at Trunks and reminded, “The terrain of the Rainbow Sickle quarters is drawn behind the scroll. There are detailed descriptions of their open and hidden outposts. Destroy this scroll after reading it, don’t let it fall into the hands of others and give rise to unnecessary trouble!”
Trunks nodded understandingly and laughed coldly, “Don’t worry, I know what to do!”
Harris and Trunks were old acquaintances and naturally knew that Trunks and Florida had a death feud. Harris left with the parting words, “Good luck!”
When Laureton and the others had left, Han Shuo said lowly, “Laureton is trying to take advantage of us! But we want to find our footing in the valley as well, so we won’t move according to his plans! The Cairo mercenary band and Rainbow Sickles aren’t the only powers within the valley. There are some others that aren’t weak either, and I’m sure they would love to replace the Cairo mercenary band and hold power in their hands as well!”
Trunks blinked and asked Han Shuo, “What would you like to do?”
Chuckling sinisterly, Han Shuo looked at the sky and murmured to himself, “The winds are strong and the night dark today. The Valley of Sunshine has been chaotic for a while now. Let’s make use of this opportunity to make things even more messy!”
