Chapter 174
Chapter 174: Cover is blown
After leaving the Dark Forest, Han Shuo and Emily split up, making his way towards Lawrence’s new place of residence.
When Han Shuo saw Lawrence, the latter immediately thanked Han Shuo, “Thank you so much for last time, otherwise Lisa might have been put in danger.”
“No problem, considering my relationship with Lisa, this was something I should’ve done. Right, how is Lisa now?” Han Shuo sat down and asked Lawrence with a smile.
“Don’t worry, I’ve already sent her back to Ossen City. As strong as the Gryphon Legion is, they wouldn’t dare to do anything in the capital.”
“That’s wonderful. Oh right, your junior sister Phoebe is also in Valen City. She has some dealings with the Gryphon Legion.” Han Shuo started talking about Phoebe with Lawrence.
Surprise on his face, Lawrence was quite shocked and looked at Han Shuo in confusion, “What is she doing in Valen City? What’s going on?”
Due to his previous understanding, Han Shuo discovered that Lawrence and Phoebe had a tight relationship. As the third prince, it’d be better if he knew everything that Phoebe had done. Therefore, after Lawrence started asking, Han Shuo sketched out what had happened.
After Han Shuo finished, Lawrence thought deeply with a furrowed brow for a bit and then looked deeply at Han Shuo. “It looks like I have you to thank for helping Phoebe in this matter. Your Dark Mantle is truly all powerful!”
Han Shuo started in fright after hearing these words. His eyes focused on Lawrence and he looked deeply at Lawrence for a bit. Han Shuo sighed softly, “When did you discover my identity?”
“There’s been no changes in the guests here. The great druid and little female elf still temporarily occupy their rooms. The two of them went out earlier today and returned not too shortly after. Apart from the girl called Candice, those of the mercenary band have all gone out once, seemingly to look for new missions and haven’t returned yet.”
“I observed for a bit and no one suspicious seems to have walked into Candice’s room, and I haven’t seen her leave either. Apart from this, there has been nothing out of the ordinary within the hotel. The Gryphon Legion has sent men once to patrol and asked about the collapsed room. I covered it up.” The frightening events that had just taken place in the hotel hadn’t seemed to affect her as Elaine spoke calmly of what had taken place, describing everything in great detail.
“Those of the Gryphon Legion don’t suspect this place, do they?” Han Shuo asked with a frown after remaining silent for a while.
“Don’t worry, I don’t think there’s any trouble. I’ve been in Valen City for many years and have known long ago how to handle the Gryphon Legion.” Elaine guaranteed with confidence.
Han Shuo wasn’t able to say much else after her words, otherwise it would appear that he didn’t trust her. He nodded, said “You’ve done well”, and indicated for her to go about her business.
He thought for a moment after she left; he should still tell Candice that Phoebe might come looking for her, just in case she suddenly left.
Walking out of his room, Han Shuo contemplated how to broach the subject with Candice. As he walked towards her room, he suddenly heard, “Bad guy!”, and saw the little elf Angelica point and yell at him from Caspian’s room window.
He smiled wryly and made a face at Angelica, ignoring her and continuing towards Candice’s room. However, he soon heard running footsteps from Angelica’s direction. It was obviously Angelica in hot pursuit.
“Bad guy, what are you doing here?” Angelica had already rushed up and spoke with some happiness.
“Why, here to kidnap someone like you, of course!” Han Shuo winked and chuckled devilishly.
