Upon hearing those words, Han Shuo immediately understood what was going on. Seeing that the green-haired young man was in a towering rage, Han Shuo put on a wry smile and refused to admit, "What are you talking about? I don't understand."
"Brat, you have robbed the deceased of all their belongings. If you have the guts to do it, why don't you have the guts to admit it?!"
"I didn't do it. Why would I admit it?"
"The items you sold at that divine weapon shop were obviously from the deceased in the valley. The people in the shop have reported it to me. Why are you still being so stubborn?"
Han Shuo suddenly turned silent after hearing those words. He did not expect that Donna would cause so much trouble for those divine weapons. Seeing that there was no way he could deny it, Han Shuo bunched his brows and asked, "What do you want?" This wasn't a big deal. Han Shuo did not think that they could do anything to him.
"Nothing much. Those items were sold for a total of three hundred black crystal coins. Just come with us and make things clear. According to the rules, we will deduct a portion of your crystal coins and we will consider this matter settled," the green-haired young man said mischievously after seeing that Han Shuo had admitted to the crime.
There were a dozen or so divine guards around Han Shuo. These divine guards were the direct subordinates of Erebus, one of the seven Divine Guard Chiefs of the City of Shadows. All of them possessed midgod strength. Erebus was a member of the largest family clan in the City of Shadows, the House of Sainte. Han Shuo knew that he had just arrived in the city and did not have much capital. Therefore, Han Shuo followed the green-haired young man to the Third Corps that was under Erebus' control.
Naturally, Erebus would not be bothered with such a trivial matter. After arriving at the Third Corps, the green-haired young man brought Han Shuo to a hall filled with books and scrolls. A white-haired middle-aged man with a solemn face began to interrogate Han Shuo. After Han Shuo described what happened, the middle-aged man said, "According to the rules, you will have to pay them two-thirds of your crystal coins, which is two hundred black crystal coins."
"Of those divine weapons I sold, three of them belong to midgods and they are mine. I didn't buy them from anyone else. Those three midgod divine weapons are worth two hundred and fifty black crystal coins. That's the real deal. I hope you understand this point clearly," Han Shuo immediately protested after hearing those words.
"Mister Kaydon, don't listen to his nonsense. This youngster is just a lowgod who has just arrived on Elysium. It is impossible for him to possess three midgod divine weapons. Those divine weapons that he sold were all secretly looted from the valley. That is for sure!" The green-haired young man sneered. Three hundred black crystal coins was a small fortune to them. There was no way they would be willing to let the powerless Han Shuo have it.
It was obvious that Kaydon was biased towards the green-haired young man. He nodded and said, "Anito's words make sense. It is impossible for you to possess three midgod divine weapons through normal means. Therefore, you must have obtained them from that valley. Alright, you can leave after you hand over two hundred black crystal coins. Stop quibbling!"
"You are trying to scam me!" Han Shuo coldly groaned and said, "I need you to handle this impartially. When I sold those divine weapons, I was with Miss Donna of the Lavers Family. You can ask her about it and see if I am telling the truth!"
"Miss Donna of the Lavers Family?" The person named Kaydon stared blankly for a moment before he turned to the green-haired young man, Anito, and asked, "Was Miss Donna there as well?"
"No, I'm not too sure," Anito was rather hesitant. Anito was rather hesitant. He had only received a message from a guard in that shop and did not investigate in detail. Now that he learned that Donna of the Lavers Family was involved, he immediately realized that Han Shuo wouldn't be that easy to deal with.
In the City of Shadows, the House of Sainte was, of course, the dominant family. Although Anito and Kaydon could barely be considered members of the House of Sainte, their status was far below that of the real members of the House of Sainte. They were just divine guards under Erebus. Since even Erebus had to give the House of Lavers some face, it was only natural that they would have some misgivings.
"Alright, I will get to the bottom of this matter first," Han Shuo said. After hearing that Han Shuo mentioned Donna and seeing that Anito was hesitating, Kaydon thought for a moment and decided not to do anything to Han Shuo. He started preparing to get to the bottom of the matter.
It was at this moment that Han Shuo truly understood what Donna meant. Unless one was a highgod with formidable strength, if one did not have power or influence on Elysium and did not have the backing of a large family clan, one would run into a lot of trouble. From this incident, one could see the deterrent power of a large family clan. If it wasn't for Donna, Han Shuo would have suffered a great loss all by himself.
"You stay here for now. We will get to the bottom of Bai's situation very soon," Anito said angrily. Anito was about to leave angrily, feeling extremely gloomy in his heart. He had originally thought that Han Shuo was just a small character not worth mentioning. He didn't expect that he seemed to be very familiar with Donna. This had obviously messed up his plans.
Bam! Before Anito could walk out of the hall, his body was suddenly sent flying back and crashed right next to Han Shuo.
"Who are you? How dare you cause trouble in our Third Corps! Are you courting death?! " Kaydon was enraged. He slammed the table and stood up. Immediately, twenty or so divine guards rushed out from the corners of the hall. All of them were midgods.
"I'm courting death! Come and kill me, you fools!" A shrill, young female voice sounded. As soon as the voice faded, an ugly young woman with disheveled lavender hair walked into the hall. Her face was like an irregular square. She had a small nose, thick lips, triangular eyes, and dark green skin. No matter from which angle one looked at her, she was ugly and even a little frightening.
But if one were to focus their attention on her body instead of her face, one would discover that her figure was graceful and curvaceous. She definitely had a good figure that only a peerless beauty should have. It was a pity that her devilish figure, coupled with her monstrous appearance, made her look somewhat shameful.
Although this woman was extremely ugly, she possessed astonishing strength. As soon as she walked into the hall, even though she did not deliberately release any energy, she gave Han Shuo a very obvious oppressive aura. It was an aura that only highgods could possess. Han Shuo secretly released a strand of his consciousness in an attempt to probe the woman's strength. Before Han Shuo's consciousness could approach her, her triangular eyes suddenly turned towards Han Shuo. Han Shuo was startled and immediately withdrew his consciousness.
"Ah, it's Miss Carmelita. What, what brings you to the Third Corps?" Kaydon, who was shouting furiously a moment ago, immediately shriveled up when he saw the ugly young lady. He put on a wry smile and bowed.
Anito, who was sent flying, sat up, panting heavily. He hastily half-knelt on the ground and said, "I'm sorry, Miss. I didn't know it was you."
Carmelita! As soon as Han Shuo heard how Kaydon addressed her, he carefully sized up the ugly young lady. Immediately, he noticed a very small pattern on the left shoulder of her tight-fitting purple armor. It was a pattern of three black holes arranged in a triangular formation. The black holes seemed to be able to absorb all energy.
It was a pattern unique to the largest family clan in the City of Shadows, the House of Sainte. Just like the dark sun of the House of Lavers, it was a unique symbol of a large family clan. After seeing the pattern of three black holes, Han Shuo immediately realized that the young lady was indeed the genius of the House of Sainte, Carmelita.
It was said that Carmelita had contracted a strange disease when she was young. As she grew up, she grew uglier and uglier. No treatment could cure her. However, although Carmelita grew uglier and uglier, she displayed astonishing talent in the cultivation of the energy of destruction. In just a short three hundred years, she became an astonishing legend in the City of Shadows.
Perhaps due to her ugly appearance, Carmelita had an extremely eccentric temperament and was very difficult to get along with. However, as she possessed valiant strength, her father was the patriarch of the House of Sainte, and she was highly regarded by the House of Sainte, no one dared to provoke her even though there were many experts in the City of Shadows. She was an extremely unique character in the City of Shadows.
"Where's Erebus? I need to talk to him about something!" Carmelita glared at those people with her triangular eyes and asked impatiently.
"His Lordship is still hunting down one of the godhunter leaders, Brovst. He isn't at the Third Corps for the time being," Kaydon replied cautiously.
"Damn it, he's not around every time I look for him. He must be hiding from me!" Carmelita cursed. Just as she was about to leave, she suddenly turned to look at Han Shuo and said laughingly, "Were you using your soul to observe me just now? You only possess lowgod strength but the energy of your soul is rather strange. To think that you could actually escape from my soul tracking. What is your name and what are you doing here? "
Han Shuo was startled. He did not expect that Carmelita would be so powerful to be able to detect the probing of his consciousness in an instant. He thought to himself, It seems that the divine soul of a highgod is indeed powerful. I must be more careful next time and not act rashly.
"His name is Brian. He has come to assist us with some matters. This is what happened …" Before Han Shuo could speak, Kaydon had already recounted the entire incident to Carmelita in a fawning manner.
"Brian … Brian … this name sounds a little familiar. Did someone mention it to me recently? Oh, Donna, you know Donna! I remember now, Donna once told me about it! " Carmelita exclaimed softly. She started sizing up Han Shuo with her triangular eyes, giving Han Shuo goosebumps.
After a while, Carmelita seemed to have recalled something. Her eyes lit up and she suddenly said, "Come with me. I want to ask you to do something for me."
"Ah? What for? "Han Shuo asked blankly.
"Don't worry about it. You will know when the time comes!" Carmelita did as she said. She grabbed Han Shuo's arm and dragged him outside, as though she had long forgotten that Han Shuo was also a young woman.
"Miss, this person is a little troublesome!" Kaydon hastily said with a bitter smile when he saw that Carmelita was about to leave.
"That's no longer troublesome. What's the point of bickering over some spoils of war? Erase that matter for me. Is that alright?" Carmelita did not even look at Kaydon as she dragged Han Shuo outside.
"Uh, no, no problem!" Kayton replied hastily. After Carmelita left, Kayton glanced at Anito and said, "Just let it go. Don't pursue the matter!" Anito smiled bitterly and nodded, "I can only let it go. I'm really unlucky!"
