Han Shuo's fist contained the terrifying explosive power of magical energy. Not only did the blood vessels and tendons of the senior swordsman who had previously ridiculed him explode, even his bones cracked. From now on, this person's right arm could be said to be ruined.
Han Shuo grinned mischievously as he callously said, "If you dare to have a foul mouth again, then leave your life here today!"
The senior swordsman's mouth uncontrollably overflowed with blood. He looked at Han Shuo with extreme fright and couldn't utter a complete sentence. He was obviously intimidated by Han Shuo.
Beside Cameron was a space archmage with a sinister appearance. He wore a brown magic robe and had many pockmarks on his face. His eyes flickered as he looked at Cameron. Cameron, whose aura had been obstructed, nodded slightly, seeming to agree with this space archmage's suggestion.
This space archmage with a face full of pockmarks was the strongest among those who had come with Cameron. When he saw Cameron nod his head, he coldly twitched his mouth and then quickly chanted a magic incantation.
Suddenly, the entire space rippled like waves in the water. Fierce magic elements filled the entire space in an instant, and a mysterious binding force followed. The space seemed to have been imprisoned, and everyone couldn't move their limbs.
Soon after, the sinister space archmage chanted another magic incantation. The entire flat space was like a piece of glass that had been cut by a blade. With Cameron at the center, the invaders were completely separated from the confined space after a few flashes of white light.
"Refusing a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit. You're courting death!" The space archmage's voice was like a sharp weapon rubbing against glass, ear-piercing and numbing. He coldly looked at Han Shuo's group as he spoke.
"Mister Aubrey, your skills are indeed marvelous!" After Cameron's space was cut out, Cameron's group recovered from their confined state. Cameron laughed heartily as he spoke.
"No need to be polite. I was only acting according to Duke Ashburn's orders." The space archmage called Aubrey was just as proud of Cameron's flattery as he yelled with a straight face.
"This kid named Brian was once involved with the Betteridge family's Hahn at the Empire's finance minister's banquet. Wouldn't it be a bit bad if we also captured him?" Cameron pointed at Han Shuo and said to Aubrey with some hesitation.
Raising his head with a sneer, Aubrey disdainfully glanced at Han Shuo and said, "What can this brat do? Do you think our Duke Ashburn is afraid of that old fellow Hahn?"
With a smile on his face, Cameron flattered, "That's right, that's right. Since that's the case, let's capture all of them and release them after I've taken over the Boozt Merchant Guild!"
"Yes, this matter must be done quickly. His Excellency the Duke is getting impatient. Within a short period of time, all the large merchant guilds in the Empire must be in your hands. If the small merchant guilds without any foundation dare to disobey, just kill them all. We can't wait. "Aubrey's nose was in the air, seemingly disgusted with these merchants as he coldly instructed.
"Understood. How could I dare not do my best when working for His Excellency the Duke!" Cameron vowed solemnly with a face full of loyalty.
Nodding his head, Aubrey said, "Alright, no more nonsense. I'll tie them up one by one and make it convenient for you to bring them out of the Boozt Merchant Guild. It'll be convenient for you to bring them out of this Boozt Merchant Guild. Just imprison this woman called Phoebe. Don't have any other ideas. Otherwise, if you anger her master, you'll be the one to suffer in the end! "
How could Cameron dare to say no? He repeatedly nodded his head to express his understanding. He looked at Phoebe with a somewhat astonished gaze, seemingly not understanding the origin of Phoebe's master. Even Duke Ashburn, who held great power in the Empire, had to be apprehensive of this person's existence.
Aubrey took a deep breath and shook his left hand that was hidden in his sleeve. His space ring faintly lit up and a blue jade magic staff appeared in his left hand. He opened his mouth, intending to chant a magic incantation.
At this moment, the space with Han Shuo at the center suddenly exploded. A faint, cold light snaked past like lightning. The stiff bodies of Phoebe and the others who were imprisoned behind Han Shuo all loosened.
When the faint, cold light circled around his body and returned to his palm, a cold, fierce aura suddenly overflowed from Han Shuo's body. Han Shuo's expression was calm and unruffled. He stared at archmage Aubrey and opened his mouth to ask Phoebe, "Phoebe, what should we do with these people?"
"How is this possible? Just who are you? How could you break my imprisonment space?" Aubrey's expression was terrified. He didn't dare to accept this reality and shouted loudly. He gripped the magic staff in his left hand tightly, preparing to attack again at any time.
Cameron and the other merchants were also shocked. They loudly yelled for their guards to protect them. Each and every one of them shrank within their guards and looked at Han Shuo with some fear. To be able to break a space archmage's imprisonment space, this kind of strength was definitely not something that the guards beside them could deal with. They deeply understood this, so they were on edge and on guard.
Phoebe's expression was a bit unsightly. She hatefully glared at Cameron and the others before letting out a dejected sigh and said, "Let them go!"
Han Shuo stared blankly. The other party had already bullied them, but Phoebe actually swallowed the insult. This didn't seem to be in line with Phoebe's character. Then he thought of the name Duke Ashburn and faintly understood something. A wave of anger overflowed from his heart. Han Shuo shouted with a cold expression, "Are we going to let them off so easily?"
"Let them go!" Phoebe's voice was a bit powerless as she sighed softly.
"Haha, what can you do? Duke Ashburn's power is monstrous in the Empire. How can you little merchants go against him?!" Aubrey was extremely pleased with himself. He laughed wildly as he walked towards the door.
A person who could break a space archmage's imprisonment space definitely wasn't weaker than a spellcaster. With Han Shuo here who could go toe to toe with him, and Phoebe who he knew of, Aubrey knew that it was impossible to successfully complete the mission this time. Naturally, he wasn't willing to continue staying here.
Cameron and the others naturally didn't dare to linger when they saw Aubrey walk out. They turned around without the slightest hesitation, glanced fearfully at the murderous Han Shuo, and followed Aubrey out with trepidation.
"Halt!" Suddenly, Han Shuo roared. His entire body was shrouded in a vicious aura. A cold and cruel aura surged out like a breached dam.
The extremely evil and cruel aura rushed towards the group of people who were planning to leave. Under this terrifying aura, even Aubrey's forehead was drenched in cold sweat. His body stiffened as he stood there, not daring to move.
As for the merchants like Cameron, their bodies were shivering. Their backs were already drenched in sweat, as if they had been drenched in rain. Han Shuo was like a vicious beast that could go berserk at any time. He was staring at them with bloodthirsty eyes. Perhaps if they were careless, they would be torn to shreds.
"Brian, this is the Boozt Merchant Guild. I beg of you!" Phoebe was shocked. After four months, Han Shuo's strength had obviously skyrocketed. The terrifying aura emanating from his body now made Phoebe both happy and shocked.
She was happy that Han Shuo's strength had greatly increased, so her own safety would be more guaranteed in the future. She was shocked that she couldn't predict Han Shuo's temperament. He now had the strength to heavily injure this group of merchants. If he really disregarded everything and made a move, it was very likely that it would bring disaster to the Boozt Merchant Guild. Therefore, she was half happy and half worried as she hurriedly begged.
Taking a deep breath, Han Shuo understood Phoebe's meaning from the five words that Phoebe had deliberately emphasized "Boozt Merchant Guild". No matter what, making a move in such a place would bring great trouble to Phoebe. This was also the capital of the Empire. Most of the time, it wasn't something that could be solved with blind slaughter.
With a sway of his body, Han Shuo had already appeared behind Aubrey. He reached out his hand and patted Aubrey's shoulder, saying coldly, "Aubrey, was it? I'll remember you. Please remember me too. Anyone who dares to make a move against me will pay the price sooner or later! "
As Han Shuo spoke, the hand that had patted Aubrey's shoulder emitted two faint red and purple lights from the middle and index fingers of Han Shuo's hand. Under the cover of his palm, they entered Aubrey's body.
At this moment, Aubrey was scared out of his wits. When Han Shuo had yelled "Stop!", he had already prepared to make a move at any time. However, Han Shuo's ghostly speed had completely destroyed his defenses. Before he could even react, Han Shuo had appeared behind him out of thin air, and then he felt Han Shuo's large hand land on his shoulder.
Even an archmage would have no chance of winning against a fellow with such terrifying destructive power. Therefore, Aubrey's aura stopped and he didn't say a single word. He just stood there obediently, listening to Han Shuo's icy threats and feeling the frightening murderous intent when Han Shuo patted his shoulder.
It was precisely because of this nervousness that he was on tenterhooks that he didn't calm down and sense anything out of the ordinary. When the two auras, one cold and one hot, concealed themselves in his body, he didn't notice them at all.
"Alright, you damned bastards, now get the hell out of here!" After planting the poison of ice and fire in Aubrey's body, Han Shuo walked towards Phoebe with a callous expression. When he arrived at Cameron's side, he casually patted the frightened Cameron. A purple light flashed, and Han Shuo indifferently said, "You be careful too!"
Then, Han Shuo stood at Phoebe's side, withdrawing the murderous aura that seemed to have materialized from his body. Aubrey and the others didn't dare to say another word and hurriedly left in a panic. After taking a trip to the gates of hell, these people had a deep fear of Han Shuo in their hearts.
After these people left, Phoebe looked at Han Shuo apologetically and said somewhat timidly, "I'm sorry, these people were following Duke Ashburn's orders. If something happened to them in our Guild, it would be very difficult to handle!"
Nodding with a smile, Han Shuo didn't seem to have the murderous aura from before and had recovered his usual indifference. He said, "Don't worry, nothing will happen to them in the Boozt Merchant Guild. However, I guarantee that they won't have it easy."
Phoebe stared blankly for a moment before crying out in alarm, "You want to assassinate them? With today's unforeseen event, if they were assassinated not long after returning, everyone would know that it was us who did it. This isn't a good idea!"
The corners of his mouth hooked into a secretive smile as Han Shuo comforted, "Don't worry, am I such a person who can't see the big picture?"
"All of you can leave first, I have some things to discuss with Brian alone." Phoebe looked at the surrounding guards, as well as Fabian and a few other trusted aides of the Merchant Guild, and ordered with a somewhat distressed expression.
After experiencing the unforeseen event earlier, the guards and trusted aides of the Merchant Guild seemed to have once again recognized the relationship between the two of them. Under Phoebe's orders, they didn't say anything more and dispersed in different directions, disappearing from the pavilion not long after.
"What exactly happened?" After those people left, Han Shuo asked in a soft voice.
Seeing that there was no one around, Phoebe threw herself into Han Shuo's arms and used all her strength to hug Han Shuo tightly. She then murmured softly, "It's so good to have you by my side!"
Afterwards, the two of them held each other tightly as they briefly described their encounters after they'd separated in the Valley of Sunshine. They had a general understanding of each other's whereabouts during this period of time. Han Shuo also understood from Phoebe that because he and Phoebe had stayed in the Valley of Sunshine for a period of time, the Boozt Merchant Guild had no one to rely on and had been taken over by a group of merchants led by Cameron.
"Alright, I know what I'm doing now!" Han Shuo patted Phoebe's shoulder and comforted her as he took out a rebirth pill and handed it to Phoebe, "Eat this!"
In order to prevent a repeat of last time's encounter, Han Shuo briefly explained some of the effects of the pill to prevent her from mistaking it for an aphrodisiac or laxative like Fanny.
When Phoebe rolled her eyes at Han Shuo and ate the rebirth pill, Han Shuo also helped Phoebe refine the pill's effects. He left the Boozt Merchant Guild to report to the Dark Mantle as Phoebe hurriedly looked for the toilet.
