"That kid, is he the Brian you were talking about?" Amyes, one of the three heavyweights of the Dark Mantle, looked at Han Shuo from the Garden House with interest and spoke elegantly.
"That's him. He has indeed done many great things recently, and his strength seems to be unfathomable. It's just that I haven't truly seen him yet. This is a good opportunity to see his true strength." Candide said to Amyes with a gloomy face.
Amyes looked to be in his thirties and was wearing a well-tailored white robe. There were no decorations on the robe, making it look clean and simple. It complemented his extraordinary handsome appearance and gave him an attractive and refined charm.
However, for the nobles of the Lancelot Empire, the handsome and elegant Amyes who often wore a faint smile was a terrifying character like the god of death. Once a noble was targeted by Amyes, there was basically no possibility of escape. The lightest punishment was confiscation of their property and imprisonment, while the heaviest punishment was immediate execution.
Among the three heavyweights, Cecilia was usually active abroad, Candide was in charge of gathering intelligence and investigating assassins of the Empire, and Amyes was in charge of monitoring and suppressing high officials and nobles. The three of them had a clear division of labor and coordinated very well. However, Candide and Cecilia usually didn't show themselves in front of the public and posed no threat to some of the nobles of the Empire. Only Amyes was the most familiar and also the most feared. There wasn't a single noble who wasn't afraid of him.
"You should be very clear about Leah Cain's strength. In addition, Leah Cain is related to First Prince Charles. If this kid can't beat Leah Cain, I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to leave the Garden House alive." Amyes narrowed his slender eyes and looked at Han Shuo who was standing proudly in the Garden House as he spoke to Candide.
"Heh heh, that's hard to say. Ferguson, who is a light grand magus like you, also died in his hands. As far as I know, Ferguson's fame isn't any lower than Leah Cain's. If he can kill a light grand magus, then he might be able to kill Leah Cain as well! " Although Candide wasn't optimistic about Han Shuo, Han Shuo had been promoted by him. Candide couldn't lose face in front of Amyes.
Amyes smiled elegantly and didn't say much. He only nodded slightly and leisurely sat down on a stone bench on the high platform. He took out an exquisite tea set and began to drink by himself.
Inside the Garden House, Han Shuo was a bit worried. Through the three yin demons' spying, Han Shuo discovered that Emily, Phoebe, and Fanny were all outside the Garden House. Although the three women weren't in the same direction, Han Shuo knew that they would definitely come looking for him once he left the Garden House.
Han Shuo wasn't worried about Emily because she was open-minded when it came to relationships. Although she might have some grudges in her heart, at least she wouldn't fly into a rage. However, Phoebe and Fanny didn't know about Han Shuo's situation. Once the two women saw each other, a storm would be inevitable.
While Han Shuo was still worrying about relationships, Mad Great Swordsman Leah Cain walked out from the center of the Garden House. Leah Cain carried a broadsword and walked out with a cold expression. His cruel eyes swept over Han Shuo and he snorted, "Brat, you're that Brian, right?"
"That's me. I think you already know about the situation, so there's no need for us to talk nonsense. Let's fight on this spacious lawn and settle this storm, shall we? " As soon as Leah Cain walked out of the room, Han Shuo immediately cast aside his emotional worries and focused all of his attention on Leah Cain, replying leisurely.
"Alright, I'll teach you a good lesson!" Leah Cain laughed sinisterly and then looked at the crowd outside the Garden House. He suddenly said, "If you don't mind, can you let the people outside come in and watch the fight?"
Frowning, Han Shuo thought for a moment and said, "I don't mind. It's just that there are too many people outside. If they all come in, I'm afraid it won't be appropriate!"
"Then, there shouldn't be a problem if only the nobles are allowed in!" Leah Cain had listened to Charles' instructions beforehand. Otherwise, he wouldn't have made this suggestion.
Han Shuo was worried that if the three women gathered together and got too close to him, there would be a disturbance that he didn't want to see. That was why he was a bit apprehensive. When Leah Cain said this, Han Shuo remembered that Fanny and Phoebe didn't have noble titles. He nodded and said, "Then do as you wish!"
Seeing Han Shuo nod in agreement, Leah Cain waved his hand at the guard in the distance. The guard seemed to have known Leah Cain's intentions and shouted from outside, "Those with noble titles in the Lancelot Empire can come in and watch. Other commoners are not allowed inside."
With this, the nobles who were loitering outside walked in arrogantly and gracefully. The commoners around them didn't say anything. On the Profound Continent, the nobles had certain privileges. Commoners were well aware of this and had long since gotten used to it. Therefore, they weren't surprised.
One by one, the nobles entered the Garden House with their attendants. Among them, Phoebe and Lawrence mixed together and also took the opportunity to enter the Garden House. As soon as Phoebe entered the Garden House, she suddenly felt someone spying on her. She turned her head and saw that it was an astonished Emily.
Emily was wearing a long purple dress. Her delicate face was as white as jade. She was incomparably beautiful among Old Hahn's group. She carried an awe-inspiring and inviolable nobility. She didn't have any of the melancholy that a widow should have. She was unbelievably dazzling.
"Damn that Brian. This Emily must have also obtained a miraculous pill. Could he be related to Emily?" With just a glance, Phoebe knew that it was the effect of the Rebirth Pill. Especially when Emily looked at Phoebe with a gaze full of astonishment. The two women immediately understood what was going on with just a glance.
"Hey! Brian, you'll definitely win! "Lawrence was very optimistic as he cheered for Han Shuo from afar.
"Hmph, he wants to win with his abilities? Dream on!" First prince Charles said disdainfully from not too far away from Lawrence. The group of nobles following behind him immediately chimed in and started sucking up to the prince. Each and every one of them did their utmost to recite the reasons why Han Shuo would surely lose, wanting to win Charles' favor.
There was a lawn the size of a football field in the center of the Garden House. Han Shuo and Leah Cain were currently at the center of the lawn, surrounded by nobles of the Lancelot Empire. These nobles all had expert guards beside them. In addition, they were quite a distance away from Han Shuo and Leah Cain, so they weren't worried about their own safety.
The grave and stern Leah Cain didn't pay too much attention to Han Shuo. When he saw the nobles enter one after another, he cast his gaze at Charles. Charles, who was chatting cheerfully and wittily, saw Leah Cain look at him. He nodded slightly, indicating that Leah Cain could make his move.
Leah Cain, who was carrying a broadsword, finally turned his gaze back to Han Shuo. He said coldly, "Brat, are you ready to die?"
Han Shuo took a deep breath and expelled all distracting thoughts from his mind. Han Shuo's face instantly became cold and merciless. His voice was also cold and arrogant, "Mister Leah Cain, before the battle, I have to remind you that apart from martial arts, I'm also an archmage necromancer. I hope you'll be careful!"
"Hmph, you're just a useless archmage necromancer. You're wasting your energy on this kind of useless magic. I can already imagine how high your attainments in martial arts are. I really don't know what kind of trash that great swordmaster you killed was. He couldn't even win against a guy like you who didn't focus on martial arts. It seems that your Lancelot Empire really doesn't have any true experts! "
Leah Cain was incomparably arrogant. He had offended all the surrounding nobles with just this one sentence. Even the nobles who had bet on him to win all revealed angry expressions.
Idiot, even if you win, don't even think about establishing a foothold in the Lancelot Empire. No wonder you wanted to escape from the Brut Merchant Alliance. With this kind of temper, if you didn't have some strength, you would've been killed long ago! First Prince Charles looked at the arrogant Leah Cain and cursed in his heart. He had already made up his mind that even if Leah Cain killed Han Shuo this time, he absolutely couldn't expose his relationship with Leah Cain. This was to avoid affecting the nobles' opinion of him because of Leah Cain.
"Mister Leah Cain, I hope you won't disappoint me!" With a thought, the Demonslayer Edge fell into Han Shuo's right hand from his sleeve. The two-foot long Demonslayer Edge was as sharp as a needle. The blade was an abnormal dark brown color. It didn't look very conspicuous without magical yuan.
"Kid, since you dared to come to my place, you should've already made preparations. Today, I'll let you know the strength of your seniors. Don't think that you're invincible just because you've won against a few pieces of trash! "Leah Cain snorted coldly and pointed the broadsword in his hand at Han Shuo, speaking arrogantly.
Han Shuo didn't respond to Leah Cain. With a callous expression, he raised the Demonslayer Edge and directly flew towards Leah Cain. His body drew several afterimages due to his high speed. He was so fast that it was hard to tell which was which.
