With Han Shuo's consolation, Candide was in a slightly better mood. After exchanging a few words with Dean Emma, he hurriedly went back to deal with the miscellaneous affairs.
Han Shuo gestured to Graeae from afar. Graeae and Pegasus were the two heavyweight experts that Han Shuo had placed in the Dark Mantle. With the two of them in the Dark Mantle, some of the previously unsolvable missions would no longer be a challenge. The Dark Mantle would also be able to better serve the Lancelot Empire.
The dignitaries of the various empires vanished together with Lawrence. Before they left, they expressed their sincere gratitude to Han Shuo and vaguely expressed that they would stand by Han Shuo's side no matter what.
Han Shuo was well aware of what they were scheming. Today, Han Shuo had come to terms with everything. He feigned civility and politeness before sending them off one by one.
Amyes left with Firenze before Candide. Before leaving, Amyes only took a glance at Han Shuo from afar. From his gaze, Han Shuo could understand his excitement and gratitude. Amyes only left after Han Shuo nodded with a smile on his face.
Han Shuo understood that after experiencing today's events, it was likely that no one in the entire Lancelot Empire would dare to go against his side before he died. As long as he was in the Lancelot Empire, not only the dignitaries of the empire, even King Lawrence would have to act according to his wishes. There shouldn't be anyone who was reckless enough to go against his will.
Everyone gradually disappeared. Han Shuo arrived at the necromancy general store that he once stayed in for a period of time. Beside him were the three goddesses of the Lancelot Empire. They listened to Han Shuo's narration of those days with a calm expression. From time to time, they would furrow their brows and pursed their lips into a smile.
"Hehe, I've always been ambitious. Power, wealth, and women were the goals I pursued in the past. Today, I have everything I should have. Thinking back to all the interesting things and ambitions I had in the past, I still feel that it was very interesting, as if it happened just yesterday. " The warehouse hadn't changed much. The narrow wooden bed was still there, and the surroundings were still piled with useless materials from necromancy experiments. It looked messy and disorderly.
The three goddesses that every man in Lancelot Empire yearned for even in their dreams stood side by side behind Han Shuo, looking at the wide open wooden door of the warehouse together with him. They listened to Han Shuo's description of this place that was filled with emotions. Their hearts were at peace and their expressions were at ease.
"You were very dishonest back then. Now that I think about it, it turns out that you were the one who caused so much chaos in the necromancy major. Heh heh." The corner of Fanny's mouth hooked into a faint smile as she recalled how Lisa had been ambushed by a Little Skull in the middle of the night and had chased the Little Skull everywhere. Then, she saw Fanny's expression change as she asked Han Shuo, "Oh right, since you've come to the Academy, have you seen Lisa? She really wants to see you. I've heard her talk about you a lot these past few years. Hmm, that's strange. Why hasn't Lisa been around these past two days? Logically speaking, she wouldn't have left if she knew that you were coming to the Academy. How come I haven't seen her? Strange … "
"I've seen her." Han Shuo looked at the warehouse in front of him and recalled all the interesting things that had happened between him and Lisa. Now that he thought about it, those things had become unforgettable memories. Just thinking about it made Han Shuo's heart happy.
"You've seen her?" Fanny exclaimed softly, appearing a bit surprised.
Coughing lightly, Han Shuo turned his head a bit awkwardly and looked at the three girls. He smiled sheepishly, "There are some things that I need to explain to you!"
When the three girls saw Han Shuo's expression, a foreboding premonition arose in their hearts. Phoebe's face immediately darkened as she stared fiercely at Han Shuo and asked, "Explain what?"
Fanny started and immediately revealed a thoughtful expression. Before Han Shuo could explain with a wry smile, she spoke first, "Ai … Lisa is quite pitiful. She's been waiting for you silently all these years. Even when you've clearly expressed your rejection, she's never given up. Not to mention that when you were in the Dark Forest, Lisa and I were ambushed by the Deepwater Venomous Python in the pond. You touched every inch of our bodies, and Lisa's first kiss was also stolen by you. Also … "
"Enough, enough. What's going on?" Phoebe interrupted before Fanny could finish. She frowned at Han Shuo and asked, "Tell me, what's going on?"
"Eh … that, it's just like what you're thinking. That's it." Han Shuo smiled wryly and spread his hands, no longer concealing anything.
"You, why can't you get rid of this bad habit of yours?!" Phoebe was furious. A few days ago, Han Shuo had promised them that he wouldn't continue to flirt with other girls. He'd even said that the preposterous things in the past were caused by the special martial arts techniques he practiced. Who would've thought that such a thing would happen again after a few days? Phoebe couldn't help but be angry.
Emily also sighed in her heart, but didn't say much. She was a woman who completely prioritized Han Shuo. Although she was also a little uncomfortable in her heart, she wouldn't express it in front of him.
"This, this, Brian, should I not have come?" It was at this moment that a timid, low voice sounded faintly from behind the three girls.
"It's alright. I've asked you to come at this time so that you can see them." Han Shuo consoled softly. Seeing Lisa's timid appearance, he couldn't help but feel a little sorry for her.
In these few days, because Lisa's memories had just been left in her soul by Han Shuo, her mind was in a mess. She'd been silently digesting those jumbled and enormous memories in her room. She didn't even come to the handover ceremony for Fanny to become the new dean.
Before she began to sort out and digest her memories, Han Shuo had told her to come find him at this place after she had sorted everything out. Han Shuo had calculated the time and knew that Lisa would probably finish digesting her memories during this period of time. That was why he had brought Fanny and the other two girls to wait for her, all in order to properly resolve this matter.
After Han Shuo's gentle consolation, Lisa still appeared a little timid. On one hand, she knew that her role wasn't honorable. On the other hand, it was because Fanny, Phoebe, and Emily were all well-known strong women in the empire. Not only were they all valiant in strength, but they also had complicated backgrounds.
After her family's fortunes declined, Lisa felt a little inferior. It was normal for her to feel inferior in front of the three most dazzling women in Lancelot Empire.
"This lass?" When Phoebe saw that Han Shuo treated Lisa so gently, she felt angry and her attitude wasn't friendly. She shot a cold glance at Lisa and snorted, "Little lass, you're quite capable. You've charmed him in just a few days. Not simple at all."
Lisa panicked and hastily waved her hands to explain, "It's not what you think. I've known Brian for a long time, even longer than you guys!"
"What's the use of knowing him long ago? Don't think that I really don't know that you nearly caused his death back then. Now that you've seen Brian prosper, you won't let him go. Isn't that right?" Phoebe had experienced all kinds of despicable things in the business world for so many years and had mixed in her subjective imagination when looking at problems. She took it for granted that this was the case.
"Phoebe, what are you saying? Lisa is my student. I know better than anyone what kind of person she is. If it was really like what you said, I would have already explained it clearly to Brian. You don't know anything, can you not hurt him in such a short time? "Fanny felt that Phoebe's words were a little harsh. Although they were on the same side, she couldn't stand it anymore.
In the past few years, Phoebe and Fanny no longer had any estrangement. Because of Han Shuo's departure, the three women often met each other. Through recounting some of the interesting things that happened between them and Han Shuo, they diluted the strong longing for Han Shuo after he was gone for a few years. Thus, their relationship had become very close.
Hearing Fanny's words, Phoebe didn't refute Fanny. She only frowned and sized up Lisa. Perhaps it was because of Han Shuo's tenderness and protection for Lisa, but Phoebe found Lisa to be an eyesore no matter how she looked at it. She continued in a cold voice, "You've also seen that Brian already has the three of us. No matter what you're planning, you should know when to back off. No matter how you look at it, you're not worthy of Brian."
"I, I love him!" Lisa's eyes immediately welled up with tears when she heard Phoebe's words. She stubbornly looked at Han Shuo and softly shouted, "I, I love him!"
"Love, do you know what love is?" Fanny sneered. Thinking of Han Shuo's constant fickleness, the more she thought about it, the more hatred she felt. She huffed angrily, "Any love mixed with benefits is not called love!"
It seemed that she didn't agree with Fanny's words. She still thought that Lisa seduced Han Shuo because she was vain because of Han Shuo's status and power.
"I love him, not mixed with any benefits. Moreover, my love is not any less than yours!" Lisa screamed, her eyes brimming with tears. Towards the end of her words, she could only helplessly look at Han Shuo, as if Han Shuo was the only thing that mattered.
"I don't believe it!" Phoebe coldly snorted.
"I believe it!" Unexpectedly, Fanny and Emily who had been silent all this while suddenly said in unison.
"You, you two?" Phoebe was stunned. Shortly after, she angrily looked at Fanny and Emily. She couldn't understand why the two of them would help an outsider.
"Enough!" Han Shuo coldly snorted as he unhappily looked at Phoebe. "There's no need to say anything more about this matter. Lisa will be your younger sister in the future. As her elder sister, take good care of her. Don't make things so unpleasant."
The more Han Shuo protected Lisa, the angrier Phoebe became. She coldly said, "I don't recognize this younger sister!"
Compared to Emily and Fanny, Phoebe's possessiveness was too strong. She had endured her resentment for Han Shuo's fickleness for too long. Finally, it exploded on the matter of Lisa.
There was a limit to Han Shuo's patience. Seeing Lisa crying and Phoebe being so overbearing, the domineering nature in his bones erupted. He angrily said, "I don't care if you recognize me or not. If you can't stand me, then leave me. Don't criticize my decisions!"
The cold and arrogant Phoebe suddenly pointed a finger at Han Shuo in disbelief, her voice trembling. "What, what did you say?"
"If you can't stand me, then leave!" Han Shuo was angry in his heart as he coldly said. He pulled the crying Lisa away, not giving Phoebe another glance.
"Ah … he, he's actually so heartless to say such things!" Phoebe suddenly cried out and murmured to herself as soon as Han Shuo walked away.
