"Pfft, you think you can trick me? I don't believe it!" Angelica was quite disdainful as she pouted and wrinkled her delicate nose.
"It's up to you whether you believe it or not. Alright, I still have things to do. Go do what you need to do." Saying this with a smile, Han Shuo didn't pay any attention to Angelica and planned on going to Candice's room.
At this moment, the door creaked open from the room that Angelica had run out from. The great druid Caspian walked out and only glanced at Han Shuo before exclaiming in surprise, "How can it be you?"
Nodding at Caspian in a friendly manner with a smile, Han Shuo bowed, "Greetings, great druid Elder Caspian. I met you last time in the Dark Forest with Trunks."
"Eh? You know my grandfather as well?" Angelica was quite surprised to see Han Shuo greet Caspian. She looked at her grandfather and then looked at Han Shuo.
Han Shuo smiled and was about to respond when Caspian's eyes lit up. He looked over Han Shuo's body and a thoughtful smile suddenly appeared on his face. "So it's you. But we should've met recently, heh heh!"
Although Han Shuo had been wearing a black hood not too long ago, his physique and voice hadn't been concealed. In addition, Han Shuo had called out Caspian's name when things had concluded. Based on these three flaws, it wasn't strange that Caspian would quickly recognize Han Shuo when he saw Han Shuo again.
Han Shuo didn't argue or explain anything with regards to Caspian's words. He flashed a meaningful smile at Caspian and said, "I have some matters to attend to, goodbye."
"Little Angelica, don't disturb other people's business. Hurry and come back to the room with me." Caspian nodded knowingly and grabbed the little elf, planning on leaving with Angelica.
Candice, who'd heard Han Shuo's words, just happened to open the door at this moment. She looked at Han Shuo and then at Caspian, who was talking to Han Shuo, with surprise. She nodded at the two in a friendly manner and finally said to Han Shuo, "You've come to find me?"
"Sister Candice, I've come to look for you as well. Let me go in as well!" Angelica called out sweetly to Candice.
"If our cute little elf really has something to do, then I'll come find you later. But I have some matters to attend to right now." Candice laughed lightly and opened the door. She leaned to the side and said to Han Shuo, "Come in!"
"Alright, stop messing around. Come back to my room and continue practicing magic!" The druid Caspian glared at Angelica reproachfully and pulled her back.
Candice closed the door tightly after Han Shuo entered Candice's room. She then seemed to think of something and suddenly looked at Han Shuo, "You were the one who saved us last night?"
Han Shuo didn't need to deny anything about this and nodded, "This matter is a bit complicated. Has Belinda, who hired you, paid your commission?"
Shaking her head with a wry smile, Candice said, "She's from the Calamity Church. This church has always done things in an evil and sinister manner. I'm already very lucky that nothing happened to me, how could I have received a commission?"
"Promise me one thing. Don't try to make trouble for Belinda. You won't get anything out of this. As for the commission she paid you this time, I'll help you get it back. "Han Shuo thought for a moment and stared at Candice.
Candice was a bit taken aback when she heard these words and looked at Han Shuo in confusion, "I heard from Caspian that you and a woman took Belinda away. Just who are you? Since you've captured Belinda, why would you say that?"
"This matter is a bit complicated. I'll explain it to you when Phoebe gets here. But don't think about doing anything to Belinda, because I know the strength she holds. She's not someone that your Battlefire mercenary band can handle. " Although Han Shuo hadn't known Candice for long, he knew that she wasn't the type to give up easily. He also understood that even if she knew that her life was in danger, she would still do it if she set her mind on something. This was why he was trying to persuade her.
"Eh? Why is Phoebe here as well?" Candice first cried out in surprise and then said to Han Shuo with a resolute expression, "You're a bit too late. I've already arranged for the others to search for Belinda's tracks. The Mercenary Association should bear our losses now that something has happened to our employer. I'll deal with Belinda myself. "
"I'm begging you, sister. Let Belinda go for now. This woman is in my hands right now and I need her to do some things. Can you give me some face?" For a woman as unreasonable as Candice, the more he told her that there was great danger, the more stubborn she would become. With no other choice, Han Shuo could only use this method to convince her.
Candice was no longer so insistent after hearing Han Shuo's words. Her bright, resolute eyes stared at Han Shuo for a while before she nodded reluctantly, "Since you're begging me so, then alright, I promise you that I won't pursue this matter any further. However, Belinda must give us the commission she's due, otherwise I won't be able to answer to the captain."
"No problem, no problem at all. I'll have Belinda pay up in the next two days after I've interrogated her." Han Shuo hastened to agree when he saw that Candice had loosened up.
As Han Shuo and Candice spoke, the sound of their footsteps approached from the outside. Han Shuo then heard the owner of the hotel, Elaine's voice, "This room is where Miss Candice lives."
"Thank you very much." Phoebe's cold, proud voice sounded from outside at this moment.
A look of pleasant surprise appeared on Candice's face as she shot to her feet, quickly walking to open the door. When the door opened, Phoebe, dressed in an elegant dress, had a noble, aloof expression on her face. However, the coldness on her face faded as soon as she saw Candice. A radiant smile appeared on her face as she cried out in surprise, "Candice, you're really here!"
"Not only me, there's also someone inside that you must want to see!" Candice laughed heartily and moved to the side to let Phoebe walk in.
At the door, Elaine took advantage of this short moment to change her position and poke her head in for a peek. She was quite surprised when she saw that Han Shuo was inside, but Phoebe had already walked in at this moment and the door was closed by Candice.
After last night's romantic entanglement, Phoebe's beautiful face immediately flushed red when she saw Han Shuo again. Perhaps it was because Candice was right next to her, but Phoebe's body was a bit shy and unnatural. She didn't even dare look at Han Shuo too much, and only snuck a glance at Han Shuo after she'd arrived. She then minded her own business and caught up with Candice, her large, bright eyes watching Han Shuo out of the corner of her eye.
Han Shuo felt a bit awkward when he saw Phoebe this time because there was an outsider present. However, his skin was thick to begin with and he wasn't too affected. He still sat there drinking tea with a straight face, his expression rather natural.
The two women chatted for a while, briefly recounting their experiences after they'd left last time. They both focused their conversation on what had happened in Valen City. Because the two had both met Han Shuo, Han Shuo naturally became the main topic of discussion.
"Tell me, why did you come to Valen City this time, and why do you know where I live? Also, Candice said that you were with a woman, what's all this about?! " After Phoebe and Candice had discussed for a while, Phoebe finally looked at Han Shuo and asked Han Shuo.
Candice was also quite astonished and added, "Belinda is a member of the Calamity Church and shouldn't have any relationship with you. Why would you capture her and use her to do something? Just who are you?"
The two women had a bellyful of questions and looked at Han Shuo, trying to get Han Shuo to give a reasonable explanation.
Although Han Shuo already had a plan in mind, it was still a bit of a headache when he really had to explain. However, this matter wasn't something that could be easily brushed aside because some matters were a bit complicated.
Han Shuo's brow furrowed at this moment. He coughed lightly when he heard that someone was coming in and made a gesture for the two to be silent.
The sound of footsteps grew closer and the door was knocked lightly. Emily's gentle voice traveled in from outside, "I know you're all inside. May I come in?"
Phoebe and Candice looked at Han Shuo suspiciously and asked at the same time, "Who is she?"
"She's the woman you've been asking about!" Han Shuo smiled wryly. He hadn't thought that Emily would want to butt in at this time.
If it had been yesterday, when Han Shuo hadn't been intimate with Phoebe, Han Shuo wouldn't have been afraid of the two of them meeting. But now, Han Shuo's head was swelling as he racked his brain over how to handle the relationship between the two.
