Han Shuo was well aware of what three thousand gold coins meant. It was indeed enough to buy many lives. Therefore, even though he understood that he'd been mysteriously implicated in a great deal of trouble, when Phoebe raised the astronomical price of three thousand gold coins, Han Shuo's anger was instantly shattered by the gold coins.
"Don't be happy too early. At this point, I think you've more or less guessed that the one who hired 'Shadow Ghost' to kill me was my beloved Uncle Grover.
My uncle is rich and overbearing, and he has many experts by his side who can make you die unknowingly. In addition, after today's events, my uncle will surely tell 'Shadow Ghost' that you killed these three assassins. 'Shadow Ghost' is an assassin organization known for seeking revenge for the smallest grievance. I think you'll have quite a bit of trouble in the future. "Seeing Han Shuo reveal a satisfied smile, Phoebe thought for a moment and couldn't help but speak up to remind Han Shuo.
"Heh heh, this has nothing to do with me. After leaving the Boozt Merchant Guild, I'll carefully hide myself. Whether it's' Shadow Ghost 'or your uncle, I don't think they'll be able to find me. It won't be that easy for them to kill me."
When he'd agreed to this matter, Han Shuo had already thought about it. After leaving the Boozt Merchant Guild, he'd immediately conceal his tracks and wait until he'd handed over the gold coins to Fanny. He'd then apply for leave from Fanny and use the transportation matrix hidden in his space ring to go to the cemetery of death to train for a period of time. This way, he'd be able to avoid Phoebe's troubles.
"If that's the case, then I'm relieved since you've already made plans. I've pushed everything onto you because I don't want to reveal my strength too early. Otherwise, when 'Shadow Ghost' sends even stronger experts, I'm afraid that even my strength as a swordmaster will find it difficult to deal with them. "
Nodding, Han Shuo smiled and said, "I understand. Since you've paid me gold coins to take the blame, then I naturally have nothing to say. I'm not the slightest bit interested in the private matters of your Boozt Merchant Guild. If there's nothing else, can you help me take inventory of the goods? I'll leave after receiving the gold coins. "
"Well, Fabian, take the contents of his sack and count them."
Fabian had calmed down and immediately walked to the thirteen bags that Han Shuo had taken out when he heard Phoebe's words. He took out the various items within and counted them. He finally said respectfully to Phoebe, "Miss, these items should be worth four thousand gold coins."
"In addition to the 3000 gold coins I promised you, it's a total of 7000 gold coins. Are you satisfied?" Phoebe coldly looked at Han Shuo and asked.
"No problem, I think we'll have the chance to work together again in the future. It's just that this Boozt Merchant Guild doesn't seem too safe. Can we do business somewhere else next time?"
Phoebe's dainty eyebrows creased slightly when she heard Han Shuo's words. She then nodded and said, "The Boozt Merchant Guild is filled with the old thing's trusted aides. I don't dare stay here forever. Since the old thing dared to make a move in the Guild this time, it means that he's becoming more and more fearless. It looks like he must've bribed everyone else in the Guild.
Fabian, help me find a new place to live. We'll move out today, we can't live in the Guild anymore. I'll communicate with the other elders in the Guild as soon as possible. As long as I can prove my business abilities and receive the support of the other elders, we can oust the old thing. "
"Don't worry miss, I've thought of this a long time ago. I've already found you a new place to live before you returned. The new residence is next to the Babylon Academy of Magic and Force on North Street. Many of the Empire's nobles and celebrities live there. I think that no matter how rampant 'Shadow Ghost' is, they'll have to think twice before making a move there. "
"Very good, we'll move out today. I won't treat you unfairly when the old thing steps down!" Phoebe nodded in satisfaction and said to Fabian with a smile.
"It's my honor to be of service to miss!" Fabian bowed gratefully and said. He then took out a card and handed it to Han Shuo, saying, "This is our new address. You can come find me if you have any more business. You've saved my life twice, so I'll definitely give you the most fair price. Mm, give me the crystal card and I'll transfer seven thousand gold coins to your account. "
When Fabian transferred seven thousand gold coins into Han Shuo's crystal card and Han Shuo confirmed that there were no mistakes, he finally nodded with a satisfied smile, "Since this is the case, then I'll be leaving first. If I have any more business in the future, I'll be sure to find you. Goodbye!"
"Be careful on the road. Be careful not to be targeted by others!" Phoebe's expression was still cold and detached as she suddenly spoke up to remind Han Shuo before he left.
After Han Shuo had left the room, Phoebe finally said in a low, angry voice, "Just where did this snobbish scumbag come from? He grabbed my hand and hugged me, but only thought about his gold coins. He didn't even apologize. Damn it! "
"Eh … Miss, you didn't mention this matter either. I thought you didn't care at all!" Fabian's expression immediately changed when he saw that Han Shuo had left and Phoebe had left. He couldn't help but smile sheepishly.
"Hmph! I'm a girl who's been educated in noble etiquette. How could I be the first to mention this matter? I think that guy only has money in his eyes. Not only does he not feel the slightest bit of guilt, but he even seems to think that I owe him. He's detestable to the extreme. " Phoebe complained angrily and then took a deep breath. She grit her teeth and asked Fabian, "Right, this person is very odd. Just where did he come from?"
Shaking his head with a wry expression, Fabian responded, "I'm not sure either. I only met him by chance in the Dark Forest. I gave him two hundred gold coins and he saved me from the hands of the Forest Troll. I gave him my address after he traded the Forest Troll's items with me. I really don't know anything about his origins."
"I see. Mm, if he wants to do business with you again in the future, let me know and I'll trade with him personally." Phoebe furrowed her brow and thought for a moment. She clenched her teeth lightly and instructed Fabian.
"Understood, miss!" Fabian agreed honestly.
After walking out from Phoebe's place, Han Shuo had made ample preparations to deal with Grover's possible revenge at any time. However, perhaps because the three "Shadow Ghost" killers had suddenly died, Grover didn't have the time to make other arrangements. Not only did he not encounter any retaliation on his way back, even the guards he'd run into earlier had suddenly disappeared without a trace.
However, when Han Shuo walked out of the Boozt Merchant Guild's main doors, the two guards he'd cursed at before seemed to have been waiting for Han Shuo. The two glanced at each other when Han Shuo appeared and blocked the door. One of them glared at Han Shuo angrily and said, "What did you say when you walked in just now?"
"I said you two are blind dogs. What's the matter?" Since he knew that these two belonged to Grover's side and that beating them up wouldn't damage his relationship with Fabian and Phoebe, Han Shuo naturally didn't hold back and continued cursing without fear.
"You're courting death!"
The two shouted angrily and swung their fists at Han Shuo.
Snickering coldly, Han Shuo's body suddenly sped forward. He was already in front of the two of them before their fists had even landed on his body. His left and right hands pressed against their chests as he deployed the "Mystical Glacial Spellfire". Two balls of faint demonic aura, one purple and one red, sank into their chests.
Laughing loudly, Han Shuo didn't wait for them to react as he strode out with large steps and swiftly left the Boozt Merchant Guild. Although the two balls of purple and red magical aura wouldn't take their lives when they entered their bodies, it was enough to make them feel pain for quite a while.
After leaving the Boozt Merchant Guild, Han Shuo's extraordinary senses made him feel as if someone was following him. Raising his attention to the maximum, Han Shuo weaved quickly through the streets and alleys, constantly changing directions and specifically looking for places with the most people.
After a long while, when Han Shuo no longer felt like he was being followed, he found a random clothing store and bought a new set of clothes. He then hired a carriage and started heading in the direction of the Babylon Academy of Magic and Force.
