"Big bad guy, will my grandpa be alright?" As soon as the great druid Caspian left, the little elf Angelica looked at Han Shuo with a heavy expression of worry.
Caspian obviously didn't have any helpers in Valen City, otherwise he wouldn't have entrusted Angelica to a stranger like him. If his enemies were in Valen City and didn't fight him according to the rules, then he would be in great danger. However, in order to reassure Angelica, Han Shuo could only smile and say, "Don't worry, your grandpa is so strong, he won't be in any danger."
Angelica, who had seemed carefree before, suddenly became worried because of her grandfather's matter. Her brows were tightly furrowed, and she suddenly became much quieter.
Tomorrow night, Han Shuo would join forces with the other powers to deal with the Gryphon Legion. Today was an abnormally important day for Belinda and Lawrence of the Calamity Church. They needed to make use of the resources in their hands and make preparations ahead of time.
After staying here for a while, Han Shuo felt that waiting in Angelica's room wasn't a good idea. He thought for a moment and said to the sullen little elf, "Come, let's go play with your sister Candice."
"I'm not going anywhere, I'm waiting for my grandpa here!" Contrary to Han Shuo's expectations, the playful Angelica didn't pay attention to Han Shuo and instead firmly refused Han Shuo's suggestion.
Starting, Han Shuo started and said, "You can't stay here either. I think your grandpa will be fine. You can talk to sister Candice and perhaps she won't be so worried."
"I know you want to go see sister Candice yourself, you big bad guy. You can go if you want, I'm not going!" Angelica glared angrily at Han Shuo and snorted, ignoring Han Shuo.
Han Shuo didn't know whether to laugh or cry at her words. However, Han Shuo had already promised Caspian. It was true that Valen City hadn't been peaceful during this time, and he really didn't feel comfortable leaving her here alone. He didn't want Caspian's enemies to seize the opportunity to threaten him.
Seeing Angelica's stubborn expression, Han Shuo muttered to himself for a moment before fiercely saying, "I don't care if you're willing or not. In any case, I promised your grandfather that you wouldn't leave my side."
Before Angelica could react to these words, Han Shuo's body dashed forward like a bolt of lightning. He suddenly stood by Angelica's side and extended his left arm, grabbing Angelica's body. His left hand exerted force, and Angelica was lifted into the air by Han Shuo's iron claw-like arm.
"Let go, you big bastard, big pervert, let go of me!" By the time Angelica came to her senses, she discovered that she could no longer move her body. Her two little feet kept kicking about as she angrily cursed and complained.
Han Shuo paid no attention to Angelica's cries at all. He opened the door to the room with her body in his grasp and walked directly to Candice's room.
Han Shuo discovered that Angelica was still yelling as soon as he walked out of the room. In order to prevent her from attracting too much attention, Han Shuo extended his right hand and covered Angelica's little mouth. Angelica's loud cries then turned into low whimpers, as if she was being held hostage by Han Shuo.
"Put her down!" Just as Han Shuo was about to reach Candice's room, a few people from the Battlefire mercenary band suddenly walked out from the two sides of Candice's room. They looked at Han Shuo with unkind expressions, and one of them, a burly swordsman with short, steel-needle-like hair and a sword on his back, shouted coldly at Han Shuo.
"Eh? Isn't he the one who spoke with the vice chief outside the city?" One of the journeyman mages recognized Han Shuo with a glance and said in surprise.
"No matter what relationship he has with the vice chief, his actions of taking a girl hostage in public has angered me. I can't just watch him take that pitiful little elf away." The burly senior swordsman spoke very righteously and glared at Han Shuo with his bell-like eyes. He slowly took out a longsword from his back and pointed it at Han Shuo.
Han Shuo was speechless. Candice's room door was also opened at this time, and a confused Candice and Phoebe walked out. The two didn't know what had happened, and their eyes focused on Han Shuo. It was Candice who asked with surprise, "What's wrong Brian, why did you grab little Angelica?"
"Nothing much, her grandfather has gone out on business and asked me to protect her. I just want to make sure that she'll always stay by my side." Han Shuo shrugged and responded easily.
"Davis, this is just a misunderstanding. Don't be so nervous!" Candice laughed lightly and spoke to the burly senior swordsman.
"His words are useless. Only that beautiful elf girl's words can prove his innocence." For some reason, Davis was still quite stubborn after hearing Candice's words. His large eyes stared blankly at the little elf Angelica whose mouth had been covered by Han Shuo.
Han Shuo immediately released the hand covering Angelica's mouth when he spoke and said to Angelica, "Alright, stop messing around. Tell him that I only want to protect you."
Angelica's clear curses once again rang out when Han Shuo released his hand. She glared angrily at Han Shuo and said hatefully, "Big bad guy, you're holding me hostage, you're holding me hostage!"
Davis flew into a rage when Angelica's words left her mouth. He pointed the longsword in his hand at Han Shuo and said righteously, "Release her immediately or you'll regret it!"
"Alright, Davis, can't you see that Angelica is just messing around? If there's nothing else, why don't you go back to your room and recover your strength. Don't meddle in matters that have nothing to do with you! " Candice's face grew cold and looked quite imposing. Her bright eyes widened as she glared angrily at Davis.
Perhaps Davis was used to Candice's berating, but he seemed to be a bit timid at first. However, when he looked at Angelica, courage came out of nowhere and he stuck out his chest, saying, "Madam Candice, if your suggestion is wrong, I won't listen."
Han Shuo was quite amused at this moment. Han Shuo discovered that there was a different kind of heat in Davis' gaze when he looked at Angelica. Han Shuo's heart moved and he already had an idea of what was going on.
Chuckling strangely, Han Shuo said, "So that's how it is. It looks like this brave mercenary wants to be a hero in front of the little beauty. Perhaps he has other thoughts in mind."
Candice and Phoebe, as well as the mercenaries on the side, all looked at Davis strangely after these words were spoken. Even the little elf Angelica was startled and looked at Davis with a bit of astonishment. At this moment, Davis' face reddened and he awkwardly defended himself, "No, no such thing!"
Han Shuo loosened his grip on Angelica and put her down. He spread his hands and said, "Alright, I won't continue to hold you hostage. There's a hero here who wants to save the damsel in distress, so I'll fulfill his wish. Little Angelica, you've already been saved. Let your hero save you, I won't bother with you anymore. "
After saying these words, Han Shuo walked towards Candice and Phoebe with a relaxed expression. He didn't even look at Angelica, as if he'd completely forgotten what he'd promised her grandfather.
"Hello, hello, you're safe now!" Davis walked towards Angelica at this moment and spoke with a bit of a disdainful tone in contrast to his previous righteous attitude towards Han Shuo.
"What does that have to do with you, big dumb bear? I'm happy to be held hostage by him, what can you do about it?" Angelica suddenly panicked when she saw that Han Shuo wasn't paying attention to her. When she saw Davis walking over with a licking face, her instincts made her angry no matter how she looked at it. She immediately opened her mouth to speak angrily.
The expression on Davis' face suddenly became quite peculiar, as if someone had stepped on his face with a dirty shoe. There was an unspeakable bitterness and embarrassment.
"Big bad guy, you promised my grandfather that you'd take care of me. You're not allowed to leave!" After yelling at Davis, the little elf Angelica lifted her little flower dress and sprinted towards Han Shuo. She shouted loudly as she ran, as if she was afraid that Han Shuo would ignore her. As for Davis, he didn't even spare him a glance.
Candice glared at Davis when she saw that he was still standing there with a wry smile on his face. She said unhappily, "Get back to your room and don't embarrass me. If you want to be a hero and save a damsel in distress, you should first see clearly if the beauty is willing to be captured by the devil. You don't know anything and just randomly save her. You deserve to make a fool of yourself. "
When Candice said these words, the shamefaced Davis let out a long sigh and walked back to his room with his tail between his legs. This kind of matter was indeed a bit complicated for his brain. Even now, he still couldn't understand why Angelica, who'd had a face full of indignation and unwillingness just a moment ago, had turned into a pitiful begging when Han Shuo let go of her and left in a carefree and unrestrained manner.
