"You don't owe me anything. Lisa and I can be considered friends in the academy, this is what I should do." As Han Shuo spoke, he saw Emily and Chester walking out with Lisa, who was wrapped in a black robe.
"Let's leave this place first." Lawrence followed Han Shuo's gaze and noticed Emily and Chester's movements. His eyes suddenly lit up as he spoke softly and turned to leave.
There were some procedures to enter the slave trading house, but they weren't so strict when leaving. Han Shuo and Lawrence didn't encounter any obstructions behind Emily and Chester as they left. Emily was escorted by two guards from the slave trading house. When they arrived at the door, Emily waved her hand and the two respectfully retreated.
When they arrived at the side of the carriage, Emily was a bit surprised to see Lawrence appear. Han Shuo's expression was relatively calm as he said to Lawrence, "I met Madame Emily when I was at your house last time. I've come to Valen City this time under Madame Emily's orders to do some things for her."
Lawrence obviously knew some things, but didn't say anything. He smiled amiably at Han Shuo, "These are your matters, you don't need to tell me anything. I think we should first take a look at my cousin."
Lifting the curtains of the carriage, Han Shuo and Lawrence walked in. The two had just entered when a teary-eyed Lisa threw herself into Han Shuo's arms and sobbed, "Brian, they killed my entire family. My father, mother, and grandfather were all killed."
Lisa was heartbreakingly weak at this moment. Han Shuo patted Lisa's shoulder lightly and said in a low voice, "You're safe now, those people will be punished."
Hugging Han Shuo tightly, Lisa seemed to use all of her strength, but also to prove the reality of this moment. She bit down on her pinky finger and cried out in pain, "I'm not dreaming, I'm still alive, I want revenge, I want to kill those cruel people."
Lisa, who had always been unruly and fierce in the academy, had suddenly changed after experiencing the tragedy of her life. The naivety on her face was replaced by hatred, as if revenge was the courage to continue living in this moment.
"Lisa, what happened? Tell me in detail, I'll take revenge for you." Lawrence's eyes blossomed with a frosty light as he looked at the crying Lisa and asked in a low voice.
It was only at this moment that Lisa seemed to notice that there was another person in the carriage apart from Han Shuo. Lisa wiped away the tears in her eyes and when she opened her eyes and saw Lawrence, she once again sobbed bitterly, "Brother Lawrence, I'm not too sure what happened, but father said that my mother was sick and told me to go home and visit her.
When I returned to Valen City, father told me that there might be danger at home. Mother wasn't sick, but he didn't let me go home either. Then the next day, Calvert, that lackey of the Gryphon Legion, rushed into our home with his men and started killing and capturing people everywhere. Apart from me, everyone else died, all of them were killed, wuuuu. "
"Don't worry, I'll take revenge for you." Lawrence promised Lisa with a cold expression.
"Help me kill Calvert, you have to help me kill him." Lisa cried out helplessly. She first looked at Lawrence, and then stared at Han Shuo with a mournful gaze.
A complete family, all of her relatives killed in an instant. This was too much of a shock for Lisa, and it made the usually unruly Lisa reveal a pitiful, weak, and helpless appearance.
"I'll help you." Lisa's gaze made Han Shuo silent for a while, and then he nodded in agreement.
"If you want to kill Calvert, we need to discuss this properly." Emily suddenly called out in a low voice from outside the carriage, and then stuck her head out to look at Han Shuo and Lawrence, saying, "At the very least, we need to leave this place first."
"Lisa, come with me." Lawrence climbed out of the carriage and nodded at the two people standing indifferently on the side. The swordsman of the two left and soon brought over another carriage. Lawrence dragged Lisa inside, and the coachman swung the reins, and the carriage slowly started moving.
"Follow him." Han Shuo instructed Chester outside, and then turned to look apologetically at Emily, saying, "Perhaps it's a bit different from your plan, but I have to do this."
"I understand you, and killing Calvert was our original goal as well. This isn't much different from our plan. We've got some extra help, haven't we?" Emily smiled in understanding and then said with a bit of seriousness, "This Lawrence seems to be the son of the Empire's finance minister. However, the strength of the two behind him isn't bad. In addition, Lawrence's behavior seems to be a bit strange. How do you know this person? Do you know his background?"
Shaking his head, Han Shuo hesitated for a moment before replying, "Lord Candide told me that Lawrence's identity wasn't simple. He said that if I got too close to him, I might get into trouble. However, I've been in contact with Lawrence for a while and feel that this person should be quite reliable. "
"If that old fox Candide knows Lawrence's identity, but didn't tell you, then this means that Lawrence's identity is definitely not that simple. It looks like I'll have to ask my brother." Emily frowned and spoke with some confusion.
Suddenly, at a corner, Lawrence's carriage stopped. Lawrence poked his head out and waited until Han Shuo and Emily's carriage was next to his. He spoke, "Brian, I think this matter isn't directly related to Madame Emily. If you have her best interests at heart, it's best that you don't involve her in this."
Han Shuo started and exchanged a look with Emily in the carriage. Emily frowned and thought for a while before speaking to Han Shuo, "Go with them and see what they're up to. Come find me at the Dark Mantle stronghold when you come back. I'll go back and investigate Lawrence's background."
Nodding at Emily, Han Shuo walked out of Emily's carriage and walked towards Lawrence's carriage. He said with a smile, "You're so thoughtful. Madame Emily really doesn't need to involve herself in this."
"I'm very sorry Madame Emily, but you know that I'm doing this for your own good. Aski fears no one in Valen City. Even with your status, there are some things that you can't interfere with." Lawrence called out softly to the carriage that Emily was in and then instructed the people in front, "Let's go."
After Han Shuo entered, Lisa seemed to have stabilized her emotions after Lawrence's persuasion. Lawrence didn't say much when Lisa was in the carriage, his expression dark and his thoughts unknown. At this moment, Han Shuo didn't know what to say to Lisa either and was also silent the entire way.
The carriage stopped in front of a house and Lawrence said softly to Lisa, "Get off the carriage and stay in that house. Brian and I are going out to take care of some matters and will be back soon. Don't worry, you'll be very safe in that house. "
Lisa was much more obedient than usual after experiencing such a tragic disaster. She nodded obediently and allowed Lawrence to get off the carriage. Lawrence knocked on the door and a person walked out. This person was hidden in the shadows and Han Shuo immediately discovered that he was the expert that had spied on Clark.
"Send her in and have the people inside protect her. You're coming with me." Lawrence instructed and returned to the carriage. After Lisa had gone in, the person walked out and entered the carriage after a while. He sat down silently in front of Han Shuo and Lawrence, not saying a word.
When they met face to face, Han Shuo took a closer look and found that this person looked very ordinary. Han Shuo didn't find anything special about his face. However, this person was able to follow the earth rider Clark without being discovered. This was enough to show that his strength wasn't ordinary.
"He's called Lucky and is an assassin. The two people outside with the coachman are the senior swordsman Divac and the earth adept mage Adelo. We're going to kill Calvert now, "Lawrence introduced them to Han Shuo and then said that they were going to kill Calvert.
"What's your plan?" Han Shuo was silent for a moment and then asked.
"Calvert is the loyal lackey of the Gryphon Legion's leader, Bob Ascher, and is in charge of food distribution in Valen City. He was originally an officer of the Gryphon Legion and was originally an senior knight of 43 years old. He only had one son, Calvert, who once tried to rape Lisa. In the end, his manhood was cut off by Lisa instead. Thus, the two families formed a deep enmity that is difficult to resolve. As an senior knight, Calvert has more than ten servants in his house, most of which are soldiers of the Gryphon Legion. He's not too hard to deal with. " Lawrence slowly said these words, proving that he must have done a detailed investigation beforehand.
"I've just received news that Clark has already returned to Valen City and seems to have arrived at Calvert's house. He seems to be helping his father pass on some instructions to Calvert." At this moment, the silent assassin Lucky suddenly spoke up.
Startled, Lawrence's brows furrowed tightly and he seemed to be hesitant. Han Shuo's heart also jolted as a thick murderous intent appeared on his face.
Lawrence's hesitant appearance meant that he was no longer confident because of Clark's appearance. Han Shuo, who had entered the true demon realm, Little Skull, and necromancy magic, dared to face Clark head on. However, Han Shuo also wasn't confident that he could win against the earth rider Clark, so he also remained silent.
"Uncle Lucky, if you were to assassinate Clark, how confident are you in killing him?" After a moment of silence, Lawrence opened his mouth to ask assassin Lucky.
"I think only fifty percent!" Lucky replied indifferently.
Nodding, Lawrence said, "Alright, then you'll be the first to assassinate Clark. I believe that with your strength, even if you can't succeed, you'll be able to retreat unscathed. When the time comes, we'll decide if we need to act together based on Clark's physical condition."
"Mm, if I want to leave, Clark definitely won't be able to find me!" Lucky responded.
"I think that if Mister Lucky and I work together, we can at least increase our chances of success by thirty percent." Han Shuo looked at Lucky and suddenly spoke.
"Brian, are you sure that you won't be discovered and won't affect Uncle Lucky?" Lawrence's expression turned serious as he looked gravely at Han Shuo.
"I think that my participation will be of help to him. If you trust me, I want to act together with him." Han Shuo also spoke seriously as he looked at Lawrence.
"Alright, Uncle Lucky, take him and give it a try. If it doesn't work, give up midway and we'll find another time to act." Lawrence thought for a bit and said to assassin Lucky.
"Alright!" Lucky responded and glanced at Han Shuo, saying, "We'll leave from here. If the Calvert residence is on fire, that means we can act. You can directly kill your way in, otherwise don't approach."
"Don't worry, I know what to do. You guys be careful." Lawrence nodded in agreement.
"Let's go." Lucky glanced at Han Shuo and his body lightly floated down from the carriage. He leapt onto a three meter tall roof without making a sound.
Han Shuo took a deep breath and circulated his magical yuan after focusing his attention. He used the "Art of the Demonic Ninth Heavens" and also leapt into the air. His body flew up a bit higher than Lucky's jump and also landed soundlessly next to Lucky.
"Eh?" Lucky turned back to look at Han Shuo in astonishment. The lips on his apathetic face twitched slightly as he said faintly, "Not bad, perhaps you really can help me a bit."
The old assassin Lucky didn't continue to look at Han Shuo after he'd finished speaking. His body nimbly shuttled through the night streets and rooftops, drifting like a wandering ghost. Han Shuo greatly admired the agility of this person's body.
However, Han Shuo's magical yuan had reached the true demon realm. His body's agility and flexibility were also outstanding. Using his extraordinary senses, Han Shuo followed closely behind Lucky and didn't fall behind at all.
