Han Shuo stared blankly. He couldn't quite grasp the meaning behind Sophie's words. After weighing his words for a moment, Han Shuo said rather cautiously, "You are the city lord of Brettel City in Lancelot Empire. You possess the power to contend against the Shrine of Ice. Among the friends I know, I believe you are the only one who can help me.
That is, of course, if you also consider me a friend. "Sophie stared blankly at Han Shuo, as though trying to clearly see every change in expression on Han Shuo's face. She continued," You are the city lord of Brettel City in Lancelot Empire. You possess the power to contend against the Shrine of Ice. Among the friends I know, I believe you are the only one who can help me. Of course, that is, if you also consider me a friend. "
From Sophie's words, Han Shuo understood that she had already guessed his true identity. After a slight hesitation, Han Shuo smiled and said, "I naturally consider you my friend. Brettel City will very much welcome your arrival."
Sophie revealed a faint smile of gratification at Han Shuo's words. However, before she could say anything else, Sulo's voice suddenly sounded, "Nonsense!"
By the time his voice faded, Sulo had already appeared in front of Han Shuo and Sophie. His expression was very ugly. He glared at Sophie and angrily said, "Feifei, you are no longer a child. There are some things you should know the consequences of."
Sophie clearly felt a little guilty after being glared at by her father. However, when she recalled the sullen matter of marrying Braque, Sophie stubbornly looked at Sulo and said, "Father, you shouldn't have helped me decide my marriage without my consent!"
Sulo, who was seething with rage, looked at his daughter who had a stubborn and unyielding expression. He suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness and dejection in his heart. He shook his head and sighed helplessly, saying, "Father was indeed rash in this matter. However, everyone knows that Braque likes you. Given the influence of the House of Pillon, there is simply no possibility of rejection. Although your father is a sacred knight and possesses a certain amount of influence in Kasi Empire, there is simply no way he can bargain with the House of Pillon."
Han Shuo had long known that Sulo would come. Listening to the argument between father and daughter, Han Shuo looked at Sophie, and then at Sulo, who seemed to have aged considerably. He suddenly said, "Mister Sulo, I do have a solution."
Holy Paladin Sulo had sparred with Han Shuo a few days ago, and after he had understood Han Shuo's identity and strength through his own channels, he was truly fearful of this youth who was much younger than him. Hearing this, Sulo's expression was barely shaken. He looked at Han Shuo and said, "Heroes come from the young. This saying is most appropriate for you. I imprisoned Sophie, on the one hand, to prevent Sophie from causing any trouble, and on the other hand, to wait for you. "
Han Shuo was stunned, and then he was slightly puzzled as he asked, "What do you mean?"
"Brian, I think I roughly know the relationship between you and Sophie. Alright, I'll just call you Brian. Currently, not many people know about the matter between you and Sophie. Given your status and strength, you can indeed protect us. " To Han Shuo's surprise, when Sulo said these words, he revealed some of the craftiness of an old fox, and his expression seemed a lot more relaxed.
All of a sudden, Sophie's face inexplicably reddened. As if she knew what Sulo was going to say, she hastily said, "Father, it's not what you think. I and …"
"Alright, you don't have to say anything more. You know what you mean." Without waiting for Sophie to finish her sentence, Sulo waved his hand and stopped her from continuing. He said self-righteously, "After considering it for a few days, I've decided to respect your opinion. You and Brian are a good match. I've even arranged for some personnel transfers in the family. Now that Brian is here, we can discuss things and withdraw from Kasi Empire as soon as possible, moving to Brettel City to live."
At these words, Sophie's face turned beet red, and she hurriedly waved her hands, saying, "No, it's not like that. Father, you've misunderstood."
"Hmph!" Sulo fiercely glared at Sophie and said, "Now that things have come to this, why are you still trying to be secretive? Our family is about to be destroyed because of you. You can't go on fooling around like this."
Turning around, Sulo looked at Han Shuo with the gaze of a father-in-law looking at his son-in-law. Soon after, he smiled faintly, seemingly very satisfied. He nodded and said, "Hmm, no matter how I look at it, you're more observant than that crafty Braque. Sophie has a good eye." Taking a deep breath, Sulo solemnly said, "Brian, although my Sophie can be a little mischievous at times, she's still very kind. You can't bully my Sophie, okay?"
Han Shuo was dumbfounded. Looking at Sulo, who had taken matters into his own hands, he simply didn't know what to say.
It had to be said that this sacred knight Sulo was indeed a remarkable character. It was normal for him to misunderstand the relationship between himself and Sophie. After all, Sophie had indeed been very close to him these past few days. In addition, Sophie had been vehemently opposed to her marriage with Braque recently. As a father, it was normal for him to have such a misunderstanding.
However, this Sulo was truly a man of swift, decisive, and cunning. He had imprisoned Sophie. On one hand, he wouldn't let anyone know of their relationship, and on the other hand, he was testing whether he would really come for Sophie. On top of that, without anyone noticing, he had begun to quietly mobilize the forces of his family, making preparations to leave for Brettel City at any time.
Although this Sulo had misunderstood the relationship between himself and Sophie, he was truly a remarkable character!
A series of thoughts flashed through Han Shuo's mind. Han Shuo's eyes shone brightly as he sized up Sulo. His mind raced. A sacred knight was a considerable force to be reckoned with in any country. Even if he left Kasi Empire, Sulo could still lead Sophie and his family to establish a foothold in other countries without relying on him.
A sacred knight! No country would refuse him, especially a country that was hostile to Kasi Empire.
This old fellow was definitely not simple. He was indeed a formidable character. Han Shuo inwardly came to a conclusion about Sulo. Han Shuo, who had intended to clarify the facts, suddenly had a thought. He revealed a modest smile and assured Sulo, "How could I? I can't wait to dote on Sophie. How could I bear to bully her?"
Face flushed to the ears, Sophie was anxious to explain the truth to her father. When she heard Han Shuo's words, it was as if she had received a heavy blow. She glared fiercely at Han Shuo and cried out even more anxiously, "Father, father, don't listen to his nonsense. He and I …"
With a wave of his hand, Sulo once again interrupted Sophie's explanation and said, "He's not spouting nonsense. I believe he will take good care of you. Brian is not like Braque. He is a martial artist, not a politician. I can trust the promises of a martial artist, especially a martial artist stronger than I am. I trust him even more!"
Sophie was about to faint from anger. Every time she tried to explain, he would abruptly interrupt her, and then he would deepen the misunderstanding. That self-assured look on his face left Sophie at a complete loss of what to do. What made Sophie gnash her teeth with even greater hatred was still Han Shuo. Han Shuo had the appearance of a good son-in-law as he solemnly guaranteed, "Yes, I will."
Sophie was both embarrassed and anxious. It was as if she had unknowingly been sold. The two traffickers were even laughing and discussing the details right in front of her. It was an indescribably bizarre feeling. However, there seemed to be a little bit of joy. It was just that that little bit of joy was quickly ignored by Sophie in the midst of her great embarrassment and anxiety.
How could this be? How could this be? Sophie screamed again and again in her heart. When Sulo finally finished, she glared angrily at Han Shuo again. She straightened her face and prepared to make things clear.
"Yes, you two talk for a while. I will immediately go and handle the family's mobilization, striving to transfer the family's power to Brettel City in the shortest time possible. Oh, when the time comes, I may have to trouble my dear son-in-law. After all, you are the Lord of Brettel City. Your power can also allow us to leave Kasi Empire more quickly and safely. "Without waiting for Sophie to organize her words, Sulo dropped another bomb.
"Of course, of course." Han Shuo smiled very modestly. He was happy that he had gotten a sacred knight for free. As for what would happen next, Han Shuo didn't care for the time being. In any case, he had to lure sacred knight Sulo to Brettel City first. Once the Sulo family arrived at Brettel City, even if the truth was exposed, Han Shuo believed that they wouldn't be able to leave so easily.
Sulo seemed to be very satisfied with Han Shuo. He walked up to Han Shuo with a smile, patted Han Shuo on the shoulder, and nodded, as if a huge stone had been lifted from his heart. He walked out with much more relaxed footsteps than when he came. It seemed that he really was going to make arrangements for leaving Kasi Empire.
Sophie had planned to stop Sulo and give him a good explanation, but Han Shuo desperately signaled with his eyes to stop her. After Sulo left, Sophie immediately put her hands on her hips and glared at him like a little hen about to fight. She said angrily, "Brian, you bastard! What is the meaning of this?!"
Spreading his hands, Han Shuo smiled and said, "I'm doing this for you and your family. If I didn't say this, would your father have gone to Brettel City so easily?" Han Shuo put on an innocent look as if he was doing all this for Sophie's sake.
Sophie, who had planned to denounce Han Shuo for his crimes, suddenly froze when she heard Han Shuo's words. Sophie was a smart person. It only took her a moment to realize that Han Shuo's words made sense.
However, when Sophie recalled that Han Shuo had used this sort of thing as an excuse to convince her father, and looked at Han Shuo's smiling face, she couldn't help but feel angry. She still angrily charged at Han Shuo, shouting, "Even so, you can't joke about something like this. I'm going to teach you a lesson!"
