Florida was more domineering than Han Shuo had imagined. He'd already sensed a dangerous magical pulse in the instant that Han Shuo's door had closed. Han Shuo's heart jumped in fright as he immediately took a step back.
An explosive crack rang out as the room exploded into a ball of white light. Large pieces of wood flew into the air as Florida's handsome face once again appeared in front of Han Shuo.
He was still tightly clutching a bouquet of flowers in his left hand, but in his right hand was a staff embedded with red, yellow, and blue crystals, emanating strong magical pulses.
"I said that I wanted to see Phoebe, didn't you hear me?" Florida looked at Han Shuo with a cold expression as he spat out each word viciously.
Florida was about the same age as the deceased Clark, around twenty-six or twenty-seven years old. The two had many similarities, and both had great strength and handsome looks.
However, although Clark's thoughts were vicious, he wouldn't display it so domineeringly. At least he understood that his status was noble and knew how to hide his emotions before making a move behind his back. This Florida, however, looked like a lawless person. His actions were even more brash and unbridled, as if he had no scruples.
"I've also said that please don't disturb our rest!" Han Shuo snorted coldly as his body closed in on Florida like lightning. He gathered magical yuan into a fist and punched straight at Florida's handsome face.
Han Shuo's sudden move was obviously out of Florida's expectations. Panic immediately appeared on his face as he threw out the bouquet of flowers in his left hand, his body retreating rapidly at the same time.
The punch that had gathered magical yuan caused the wind to howl as it pulverized the bouquet of flowers. The petals danced in the air as a sweet fragrance permeated the air.
When the punch was about to land on Florida's handsome face, a strong magical pulse suddenly emanated from Florida's body. A brilliant, glazed magic shield suddenly enveloped Florida like an enormous light bulb.
Bam! Han Shuo's fist smashed into the magic shield and felt as if he'd punched a soft cotton ball. The magic shield twisted at the point of impact from Han Shuo's punch, and a deep fist imprint appeared. Han Shuo's tightly clenched fist stopped in front of Florida's high nose bridge, unable to move any further.
With a few thumping sounds, Florida turned pale with fright and retreated a few steps with his magic shield, increasing the distance between him and Han Shuo. His breathing was a bit erratic, and his gaze towards Han Shuo became even colder, as if Han Shuo had become his mortal enemy.
"You dare make the first move?" Florida's voice was as savage as his appearance as he glared angrily at Han Shuo.
Han Shuo waved his outstretched fist and retracted it. Han Shuo pointed at the shattered door and said callously, "Your actions can be considered an invasion from the moment you broke the door. I was only defending myself!"
Nodding with a cold smile, Florida looked coldly at Han Shuo and said, "Very good, you've got some guts. However, now that we've pulled apart, you won't have the chance to approach me again. Now let me see just how much skill you have!"
Florida took another few steps back after he'd spoken and raised the magic staff in his right hand, intending to officially fight Han Shuo. Han Shuo also solemnly took out the Demonslayer Edge from his space ring when he saw Florida's actions, preparing to deal with Florida's attack.
This person was a light archmage and his strength was certainly out of the ordinary. Han Shuo had tested him just now and discovered that Florida's reactions and movements were nimble. It looked like he was an expert who'd gone through hundreds of battles. Han Shuo hadn't been able to hurt Florida when the two had been so close before. Now that there was some distance between them, Florida would be able to make use of his strengths as a mage and would definitely be difficult to deal with.
At this moment, hurried footsteps rapidly approached from the distance. Just as Han Shuo and Florida were about to make their move, vice chief Harris of the Cairo mercenary band, who they'd met in the shop in the place of extreme water, quickly approached with a few guards.
"Isn't this chief Florida? Why aren't you staying with the Rainbow Sickle mercenary band? Why are you causing trouble in the property protected by the Cairo mercenary band?" Harris' voice was full of faint mockery and was as cold as it had been during the day.
The sound of water splashing in the washroom suddenly stopped at this moment. It looked like Phoebe, whose hearing had been affected by the sound of water in the shower, had finally discovered the commotion outside after all the noise just now.
Florida, who had been hostile towards Han Shuo, turned his head to look at Harris when he heard Harris' voice. He put away the magic staff in his hand and said with a cold expression, "I'm here to see Miss Phoebe. I hadn't thought that I'd be blocked outside by a blind brat."
"If you're here to manage the hotel's business, then I welcome you on behalf of the owner. However, I hope that you don't try to make a move here or our Cairo mercenary band will definitely intervene. You've stayed in the Glorious Sun Tanai for so long, you must know the rules of the Glorious Sun Tanai! "Harris snorted coldly when he saw Florida put away his magic staff.
"Hmph, count yourself lucky today!" Florida said coldly to Han Shuo and then turned to walk out. He stopped next to Harris and said with his back to Han Shuo, "I'll regain control of the Valley of Sunshine before long. I won't be as polite to you then!"
Florida laughed wildly after he'd finished speaking and walked out with large strides. He actually didn't stay here and wait for Phoebe to come out.
Harris' face was ugly as the veins on his forehead bulged. He looked like he'd go berserk at any moment. Han Shuo knew that Harris was a berserker. It was said that a berserker's strength was quite astonishing to begin with, and they could also use a mysterious method to go berserk. Their strength would continue to increase explosively after going berserk, and they possessed unbelievable destructive power.
Seeing Harris' current appearance, Han Shuo really hoped that he'd suddenly go berserk and be unable to suppress the rage in his heart, immediately attacking Florida to the death.
It was a pity that Harris quickly returned to normal after his initial rage and didn't fulfill Han Shuo's wishes. He flicked a cold glance at Han Shuo and said, "You'll have to compensate for the door here. Florida has great power in the Valley of Sunshine, so be careful since you've offended him. You can come find us if you need anything from the Cairo mercenary band."
Although his expression was still cold, perhaps because they had a common enemy, Harris' attitude towards Han Shuo had changed a bit. There was even a hint of concern in his words.
Han Shuo hadn't planned on compensating for the door because it was Florida who'd damaged it. However, Harris' attitude had changed now, and Han Shuo also needed to obtain the shop with the place of extreme water through the Cairo mercenary band. Therefore, he smiled readily and said, "No problem!"
Nodding his head, Harris didn't say anything else. He waved his hand and left with his guards.
The washroom door creaked open after Harris left and Phoebe walked out in a bathrobe like a lotus flower emerging from the water. Her long, wet hair hung loosely over her shoulders, revealing a small patch of rosy white skin. Her red lips were moist and full as she quickly glanced at the door. She exhaled lightly and said to Han Shuo, "They've all left?"
"They've all left. What's with that Florida?" Han Shuo swept a glance over Phoebe and asked with an unhappy expression.
Chuckling lowly, Phoebe pulled up her bathrobe and wrapped it tightly around her slender body. She walked to Han Shuo's side and blinked her wet eyelashes as she looked at Han Shuo with interest. She said teasingly, "What, jealous?"
"Yes, I'm jealous! That brat looks all high and mighty and even brought a bunch of fresh flowers to look for you. He even dared to ask me, his boyfriend, to move out of the way. I'm not in a good mood right now! "Han Shuo was quite frank as he looked directly at Phoebe and spoke with displeasure.
Her body softened as Phoebe sat directly on Han Shuo's lap and giggled softly before explaining, "I often come to the Valley of Sunshine and have done business with the Rainbow Sickle mercenary band. However, he's always pursued me and I don't have any relationship with him.
Heh heh, alright alright, don't be angry. I'll explain things clearly to him next time I see him and tell him to stop bothering me in the future. Is that okay? "
"There's no point in explaining. I don't think this brat is the magnanimous type. I didn't like him from the first time I saw him, but I think he feels the same way about me. I think the grudge between us has been sown! "Han Shuo shook his head and said to Phoebe.
"Then what do we do? The Rainbow Sickle mercenary band is quite powerful in the Valley of Sunshine and is only second to the Cairo mercenary band. It's said that the Rainbow Sickle mercenary band has been recruiting even more recently. Through some unknown method, they've even invited a group of experts from the Church of Light. They seem to want to replace the Cairo mercenary band's position in the Valley of Sunshine. It'll be very troublesome if Tanai offends them in the Valley of Sunshine! "Phoebe was startled and said with a bit of worry.
"We'll deal with it as it comes. He's not the only one in the Valley of Sunshine right now. I don't believe he can do anything to me!" Han Shuo snorted coldly and said fearlessly.
