Chapter 197: Making a decisive move
Florida was far more domineering than Han Shuo would’ve thought. He could feel a dangerous pulse of magic the instant he shut the door. Han Shuo immediately sprang backwards.
The door exploded with a tumultuous bang as the room wreathed itself in white light. Large pieces of wooden slats flew across the room as Florida’s handsome face once again appeared in front of Han Shuo.
He still clutched the bouquet of fresh flowers tightly, with a strongly pulsating magic staff embedded with a red, blue, and yellow crystal in his right hand.
“I said, I want to see Phoebe. Didn’t you hear me?!” Florida looked harshly at Han Shuo as he bit off his words.
At roughly 25 or 26, Florida’s age was similar to the deceased Clark. The two of them had many similarities, both having the same high level of strength and charming exteriors.
However, although Clark was devious, he wouldn’t flaunt it so boldly. He at least understood that his identity as a noble; conscious he had to conceal his emotions, he made his moves in the dark. On the other hand, Florida looked like a completely lawless person, with an even more brash style, seemingly having no reservations at all.
“And I said, don’t disturb our rest!” Han Shuo snorted coldly and flashed to Florida’s side like lightning. He raised a fist with magical yuan circulating within it and smashed it towards Florida’s face.
Han Shuo’s sudden move was outside of the other’s expectations as panic suddenly appeared on his face. He threw out the bouquet in his hands and swiftly backpedaled.
Han Shuo’s punch whistled through the air as it smashed the bouquet to pieces. Petals flew everywhere as a floral fragrance wafted through the air.
Nodding, Harris didn’t say anything else and waved his hand, departing with his guards.
The room to the bathroom creaked open after Harris left and Phoebe came out wearing a bathrobe, like a flower emerging from the water. Her wet hair was plastered all over and a small expanse of reddened, fair skin was revealed at her chest. Her red lips were full and wet as she flicked her eyes towards the door. “They’re all gone?”
“All gone. What’s going on with that Florida?” Han Shuo looked at Phoebe and asked unhappily.
Chuckling lowly, Phoebe hiked up the bathrobe a bit and wrapped her legs tightly. She walked up to Han Shuo and batted her wet eyelashes, looking at him with interest. She teased, “What, are you jealous?”
“Yeah I’m jealous! That kid doesn’t look too bad and came looking for you with a huge bouquet! He even told me, the boyfriend, to get out of the way. I’m very pissed off right now!” Han Shuo was quite direct as he looked irritatedly at Phoebe.
Her body softening, Phoebe sat on Han Shuo’s legs and chuckled softly. “I used to come to the valley a lot and had business dealings with the Rainbow Sickle mercenary band. But it’s always been him pursuing me, I’ve never had anything to deal with him.”
“Alright, alright, don’t be mad. I’ll explain things to him next time so that he doesn’t bother me in the future. How’s that?”
“No point in explanations, I don’t think that brat is the kind to accept such things. I didn’t like him from my first impression of him, but I think he thinks the same of me. I think our grudge has been well and truly formed!” Han Shuo shook his head.
“Then what do we do? The Rainbow Sickle mercenary band has great power in the valley and is second only to the Cairo mercenary band. It’s said that they’ve been recruiting in recent times and have even hired a group of experts from the Church of Light. They seem to want to replace the Cairo mercenary band. It will be very troublesome to stay in the valley if we’ve offended them!” Phoebe was startled and spoke with some worry.
“We’ll deal with matters as they arise. He’s not the sole ruler of the valley, he won’t be able to do anything to me!” Han Shuo snorted coldly and spoke without fear.
