"I'm sorry, our defense wasn't good enough and caused you to be frightened!" Finance Minister Eevee said to Hahn with a worried expression.
Waving his hand, Hahn's expression was solemn as he said seriously, "Eevee, don't apologize, I won't pursue the matter. Don't investigate this matter either, I'll handle it myself."
Eevee first breathed a sigh of relief when Hahn said this, and then asked in astonishment, "Why?"
"Honorable father, since Grandpa Hahn has said so, you don't need to worry so much." Lawrence's face was a bit gloomy as he spoke to Eevee.
"Mm, Lawrence, you don't need to worry either. I know who did this." Hahn flicked a glance at Lawrence and seemed to know something as he spoke.
Lawrence nodded indifferently and looked at Han Shuo and Phoebe. He hesitated and asked Phoebe, "Did Cameron force you to join their merchant alliance?"
"Mm, but I've already refused him." Phoebe responded.
"Very good, you must not compromise, otherwise your Boozt Merchant Guild will face an enormous crisis." Lawrence mused for a bit and advised Phoebe.
Han Shuo listened to all of their conversations and observed them for a while. He seemed to grasp something from Lawrence and Hahn's conversation, but because the two of them hadn't talked about anything substantial, Han Shuo didn't ask too many questions.
Han Shuo wasn't that curious about other people's affairs. Seeing that it was difficult to continue the banquet because of this assassination, Han Shuo lazily stretched and said to Phoebe, "I think the banquet is over, can we leave now?"
Rolling her eyes at Han Shuo, Phoebe bowed slightly to Eevee and Old Hahn, saying with a smile, "We still have some matters to attend to, so we'll be taking our leave first."
Eevee couldn't keep them any longer since this situation had occurred. He sighed lowly and said apologetically, "Alright then, be careful on your way back."
"Brian, remember what we said. I'll look for you tomorrow. Don't go missing for a few days again!" Seeing that Phoebe and Han Shuo were about to leave, Lawrence suddenly reminded Han Shuo not to forget their earlier agreement.
Han Shuo nodded in understanding. Just as he was about to leave, Hahn spoke again, "So your name is Brian. Hehe, I'll remember you."
Smiling without replying, Han Shuo and Phoebe left the banquet together with some merchants who had left in a hurry. They boarded their respective carriages and returned to their original route.
"Who is it that wants to kill Old Hahn? Even I know that Old Mister Hahn has made outstanding contributions to the Empire. Many of the current officers in the Empire's army were once Old Mister Hahn's subordinates. With his position, there shouldn't be many in the entire Empire who would dare touch him." After entering the carriage, Phoebe frowned slightly and spoke faintly.
Just in case, the three original demons had been placed nearby and were constantly paying attention to any changes in the surroundings. After Phoebe had finished speaking, Han Shuo thought for a bit and said, "We helped Old Hahn today, and may have attracted trouble as well. However, for your company, there are definitely more advantages than disadvantages if you can maintain a good relationship with Old Hahn. Mm, but this matter doesn't have much to do with me. Besides, I'm not afraid of anything since I'm all alone, but you have to be careful. "
Flashing her teeth in a smile, Phoebe said, "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."
"Then I won't say more. You should be able to clearly explain what you promised me, right?" Han Shuo first nodded and then straightened his body slightly, staring at Phoebe as he asked.
"Alright, alright, look at you like that. That batch of treasure that I don't know where you got it from, but I've specifically had someone estimate it. It's worth more than forty thousand gold coins and is completely enough to offset all the random materials you've purchased. In addition, I've also prepared a large amount of food for you. However, it will take some time for you to get a space ring with a larger capacity, so there's no stock on the market for the moment. " The attack at the banquet hadn't affected Phoebe's mood at all, and she spoke with a cheerful expression at this moment.
Han Shuo finally breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Phoebe's words. He displayed an extremely gratified expression and said with a laugh, "I'm at ease with you handling things. Forget about the space ring, I've just obtained one with a larger capacity."
"You can take what you need when we arrive at the company. I've already taken the risk to gather all the materials for you when I didn't know if you had enough gold coins. Don't worry, there won't be any problems. "Phoebe raised her head proudly and exclaimed softly.
Han Shuo was a bit moved when he heard Phoebe's words. He understood that Phoebe had taken the risk to do so purely because of their friendship. Phoebe had even thought of paying for it herself. From this, it could be seen that Phoebe was indeed a friend worth making.
Just as Han Shuo was feeling grateful, Phoebe reached out and pinched Han Shuo's leg, then glared at Han Shuo and said, "You dared to lie to me that you didn't know how to dance. Who knows how skilled you've become in the end? You're the worst."
In all honesty, before this banquet, Han Shuo truly didn't know how to dance. He had completely muddled through learning on the spot. However, due to the development of his brain, Han Shuo's learning speed was too abnormal. This caused Phoebe to think that Han Shuo was faking it.
"I'm innocent, I really didn't know how to dance before, it's all thanks to your good teaching!" Han Shuo complained as he flattered Phoebe.
"Do, do you like dancing with me?" All of a sudden, Phoebe lowered her head and asked softly, looking a bit shy.
Nodding, Han Shuo casually replied, "Mhmm, it feels pretty good."
"Then, I want you to promise me that you'll dance with me again next time. Otherwise, I won't help you in the future." Phoebe's face lit up as she said cheerfully.
"Okay okay, I promise, I promise. As long as you help me seriously, I'll promise you anything you want. Even murder and arson aren't a problem, not to mention dancing. "There were many things that he would need to trouble Phoebe with in the future, so Han Shuo agreed without hesitation.
The two of them didn't run into any trouble along the way as they chatted happily. When they returned to the Boozt Merchant Guild, Phoebe took out the materials that Han Shuo needed, including several warehouses full of rations and daily necessities. She was about to fill up Han Shuo's current space ring.
"Help me keep the rest of the gold coins first. These are the other materials that I need you to purchase. Continue to help me collect them. " The wood elite zombie and yin demon both needed to be refined, so Han Shuo had long since made another list. He handed it to Phoebe after taking care of the matters that needed to be taken care of.
Skimming through the list that Han Shuo handed over, Phoebe looked at Han Shuo in surprise, saying, "Food for a hundred people and all sorts of strange materials, just what are you planning to do?"
"Heh heh, nothing much, nothing much. Just take care of it for me. I'll give you the gold coins next time I come over." Han Shuo didn't explain too much and left the Boozt Merchant Guild after saying this, returning to the Academy by himself.
When Han Shuo returned to the necromancy major, the sky had already darkened. The cold wind in the winter night whizzed past, and the bone-chilling cold made it so that no one was willing to walk outside.
However, a figure stood not far from the entrance to the dorms, shivering from the cold. Her small face was red as she continuously walked around a stone statue not far away.
"What are you doing here?" Han Shuo couldn't help but ask when he saw that this figure was Lisa.
"I'm waiting for you!" Lisa's eyes shone with joy when she saw Han Shuo appear. She quickly walked towards Han Shuo and spoke urgently.
His brow furrowed, Han Shuo took off the coat he was wearing and wrapped it around Lisa. He asked puzzledly, "It's such a cold night, why are you waiting for me here alone?"
Han Shuo's actions made Lisa's small face light up with joy. She then said with a frown, "My mother is sick and I need to make a trip home. I may not be back for a long time. I want to say goodbye to you."
"It's just a goodbye, you can come find me tomorrow. Why do you have to wait for me tonight?" Han Shuo saw that Lisa was still shivering and hesitated for a moment before activating the "Mystical Glacial Spellfire". He slowly waved his right hand and waves of warmth surged forth, warming Lisa's shivering body.
"You often disappear mysteriously because I'm leaving early in the morning. I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to see you, so I waited for you here. I didn't know if you would come, but you finally came back." Lisa's body warmed up and she breathed out comfortably, speaking softly to Han Shuo.
"Eh, actually you don't need to say goodbye to me." Han Shuo felt that the atmosphere was a bit off and held back for a while before speaking.
Lisa was silent for a moment and stared at Han Shuo with a burning gaze. She suddenly said, "Brian, you said that you like me. Now that you're no longer an errand boy or slave, come home with me. We can be together. "
Han Shuo was shocked when he heard this and stood there dumbly. He looked at Lisa's serious expression and didn't know what to say for a moment.
