Andre abruptly raised his head. His eyes were as sharp as blades as he looked straight at Avery and said, "Don't tell me that you have nothing to do with that matter?"
"That's right, I did it! Ever since you came here, I have no intention of denying it! " Avery slowly nodded. He knew that Andre wouldn't come here just to taste wine with him. He also didn't think that given the influence of the House of Sainte, they wouldn't be able to find out the truth if they investigated with all their might.
"Then what do you mean when you say that you don't know?" Andre was rather stunned to hear Avery admit to it.
"I don't know if that youngster is dead or alive because he escaped from my hands!" Avery gulped down the wine in his cup in one gulp and put on a bitter smile.
"Wh … What?" Andre raised his voice and stared at Avery, "Are you sure you are not joking? As the Chief of the Fifth Corps, I know very well how strong you are. Brian is but a puny lowgod. You should have either captured him alive or killed him. How could there be a third possibility? "
Facing Andre's question, Avery's smile became even more bitter. He shook his head and said, "It's up to you whether you want to believe it or not. That brat really escaped from me. I couldn't tell what kind of power he used, but I gave him a heavy blow. Logically speaking, he shouldn't have survived. However, I couldn't find his corpse, so I said … I don't know …"
Andre's face was cloudy and cloudy. He kept staring at Avery as though he wanted to see if Avery was lying. After a long while, Andre let out a soft laugh and said, "I find it hard to believe that he could escape from your hands. But even if you were lying, you wouldn't make up such an unconvincing lie. This is going to be a little troublesome …"
"He's just a mere pharmacist. Don't tell me that Lord Andre will really pursue the matter because of his death?" Avery wasn't worried at all. He shrugged and continued to pour himself more wine.
"If he didn't help Carmelita, I wouldn't care even if you killed a hundred of him!" Andre let out a cold groan and continued, "But this fella has the highest chance of helping Carmelita change her current situation. Not only her appearance, but also her eccentric temperament! As a member of the House of Sainte, I will naturally treat this matter with caution. The last time I talked to you, I was hoping that you could turn a big problem into a small one. I didn't expect that you wouldn't even give me face. Avery, has the House of Lavers become so powerful that it can go against our House of Sainte? "
"I wouldn't dare!" Avery lowered his head and said in a deep voice, "If he didn't blow up three of my shops, I wouldn't have resorted to such drastic measures. Last time, I gave the order, and they didn't look for trouble with that kid. We can't be blamed for this!"
Andre stared at Avery, who had lowered his stance. He frowned slightly and said meaningfully, "I think you didn't come here just to avenge the three energy shops, right? I know that Brian is a very outstanding apothecary. I think the reason why you have to do it yourself is because of the things in Brian's mind. You don't want anyone else to have those things, so you have to do it yourself, right? "
Upon hearing those words, Avery suddenly turned silent and did not say another word.
The two of them were old acquaintances and knew each other's temperament very well. Just like how Avery knew why Andre was there, Andre also knew that Avery only needed to nod his head and his subordinates would take care of a mere lowgod.
As the Chief of the Fifth Corps Divine Guard, Avery was not going to just kill a lowgod!
"Forget it. Now that things have come to this, I will no longer pursue your previous actions," Andre stared at Avery for a moment and let out a soft sigh. Andre stared at Avery for a moment and let out a soft sigh. Then, his left eye gradually turned dark purple. In an instant, he had turned into a cold and emotionless person. Andre looked at Avery with his bizarre left eye and softly said, "If Brian is dead, I will let this matter rest. But if he is still alive and you dare to kill him, don't blame me for not showing mercy!"
Avery's heart skipped a beat when he saw that Andre's left eye had turned dark purple. He immediately understood that Andre's warning this time was no trivial matter. It wasn't as simple as a casual greeting like the last time. After weighing the pros and cons, Avery nodded and said, "I understand!"
"That's good. Don't worry. Even if Brian is still alive, he won't pose any threat to your House of Lavers. He doesn't have the strength to harm any of your family members. You can rest assured! " Andre softly acknowledged. He stood up from Avery's chair and said, "Alright, it's getting late. I'll be taking my leave!" Upon finishing those words, Andre took to the air and left.
After Andre disappeared, a smile appeared on Avery's face again. His body swayed, and the next moment, he appeared in the shadows of the Fifth Corps secret chamber. He opened his mouth and ordered, "Number Four, go home and inform them that the confinement order for those two good-for-nothings can be lifted!"
"Yes, Sir!" a cold and indifferent voice, identical to Number Three's, replied from the darkness.
… …
In the Lavers Residence, Cage and Eve, who had been imprisoned in the Lavers Residence for more than three months, cheered when they heard that they had regained their freedom. For Cage and Eve, who were used to wandering around, it was terrible for them to be locked up for three months and not be able to take a step out of the family for three months.
"Brother, that youngster has been missing for three months. It seems that he's done for. Since Father has said that we can leave the House of Lavers, it means that the House of Sainte has done its job. Ha, I knew it. Those who go against our House of Lavers will never have a good ending! "Eve said to Cage smilingly. She was in a great mood.
"Alright, from today onwards, we cannot talk about that youngster in front of outsiders, lest some people get suspicious and bring unnecessary trouble to Father," Cage reprimanded Eve before he stretched his body comfortably. He said, "It's been a long time since I left the Lavers Residence. Let's go and have some fun at Fort Hassell. The Sea Fruits there are just about ripe in this season. It's been a long time since I've tasted those delicacies …" "That's right.
Fort Hassell has the most beautiful scenery during this season. Haha, let's go and have some fun there, "Eve immediately agreed.
After making up their minds, the siblings immediately packed up and left the City of Shadows with a small team of family clan divine guards. They headed straight for Fort Hassell that was under the control of the Lavers Residence.
… …
Outside the City of Shadows, Han Shuo, who was hiding in a hidden underground cave, suddenly opened his eyes from his meditation. With a cold face, he murmured, "So we've finally left the Lavers Residence … Iverson, I can't kill you for the time being. But I'm more than happy to help you get rid of those troublemaking sons and daughters of yours! How will you thank me when the time comes? Hehe … "
After staying in the underground cave for three months and enduring seven days of excruciating pain, the condition of Han Shuo's injuries had stabilized. After spending more than a month recuperating with medicinal pellets, Han Shuo's meridians and bones were reconnected and his serious injuries were finally healed.
After entering the Omen realm, Han Shuo's demonic body had become even more tenacious and durable due to cultivating the Invincible Omen Body. Therefore, Han Shuo was able to fully recover from his injuries in just three months after using the Blood Disassembly.
After recovering from his injuries, Han Shuo was in no hurry to leave the underground cave. He repeatedly evaded the scouting divine guards and members of large family clans and hid himself. He dared not show his face in the City of Shadows. After learning that his opponent was Avery, Han Shuo no longer had the intention to confront the Lavers Residence. Besides, he was worried that once his whereabouts were exposed, Avery would immediately find him and deal him a fatal blow.
With his previous experience, Han Shuo believed that if Avery were to strike this time, Han Shuo wouldn't even have the chance to use the Demonic Blood Disassembly. Therefore, Han Shuo had been hiding and observing the situation of the Lavers Residence with his demon generals. He was like a venomous snake hiding in the dark, waiting for the best opportunity for revenge.
One day, Han Shuo immediately noticed the departure of Cage and Eve. He knew that the opportunity he had been patiently waiting for had finally arrived.
The journey from the City of Shadows to Fort Hassell took approximately seven days. Cage and Eve rode on an airship with a team of divine guards from the Lavers Residence. Han Shuo knew that this was not the time to strike. He had been following behind the airship using his demon generals while he exited the underground cave and stealthily made his way to Fort Hassell.
Using the demon generals in the Cauldron of Myriad Demon, Han Shuo was able to observe every movement within a ten mile radius. He effortlessly evaded any divine guards that came to search for him. He walked out of the mountain range without the slightest hindrance and stealthily made his way to Fort Hassell.
On the morning of the eighth day, Han Shuo appeared in a vast and boundless ocean north of Fort Hassell. This ocean region named 'Neptune's Tear' was one of the most beautiful places in the vicinity of the City of Shadows. Every year during this season, the plants in the depths of the ocean would bloom with wondrous flowers. At first glance, those flowers would look as though they were floating in the middle of the ocean. As the sea breeze blew, many petals would scatter. The entire ocean would be filled with an enchanting fragrance and magnificent scenery.
Among the sea flowers, there would be a type of large flower bud that would produce a type of Sea Fruit. The fruit was very sweet and tasty. To gluttons, the Sea Fruit was an extremely tempting delicacy. Therefore, every year during this season, the Neptune's Tear would attract many youngsters from the City of Shadows to come and sightsee.
This time was no exception. By the time Han Shuo arrived at this ocean region, after his demon generals had spread out, he discovered that there were many young men and women on various small islands in the ocean region. Cage and Eve were on one of the islands that was filled with lush trees and exquisite leisure houses. Colorful sea flowers were blooming all around the island. The scenery was very beautiful.
Fort Hassell was the territory of the Lavers Family. As the young master and young lady of the family, it was only natural that Cage and Eve found the best island to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the Neptune's Tear.
For three days in a row, Cage and Eve stayed on the island. The group of divine guards from the Lavers Family never left the island. Han Shuo could not find an opportunity to attack them.
Until today, when Cage and Eve had grown tired of enjoying everything on the island. They planned to go for a swim in the deep waters of the Sea Flowers and pick some ripened Sea Fruits. As this was the territory of the Lavers Family, the two did not think too much about it. They did not allow the divine guards to follow them.
"Brother, let's split up. Let's see who can pick the biggest Sea Fruits," Eve was in a great mood. Following Han Shuo's' death ', she had forgotten all the pain that Han Shuo had brought to her. She had devoted herself to the embrace of the ocean.
"Sure," Cage replied casually. He was thinking about harvesting more Sea Fruits so that when he returned to the City of Shadows, he could use the Sea Fruits to win a certain someone's affection.
The young master and young lady of the Lavers Family, one in the east and the other in the west, headed in opposite directions of the Sea Flowers …
Eve landed gracefully in the middle of the Sea Flowers. For some reason, she couldn't help but recall Teng Fei whom she once admired. She couldn't help but recall Teng Fei's carefree and gentle demeanor. She couldn't help but curse, "That wretched fella, he can't be relied on at crucial moments. Why would I miss him?!"
Another person appeared in Eve's mind. Her mood suddenly turned for the worse. She cursed in a low voice, "Ever since I was young, no one has ever dared to slap my face like that. You deserve to die!"
"Huh …" Eve shook her head and looked at the person in front of her in puzzlement. She mumbled to herself, "Why would I think of him? And why hasn't he disappeared from my mind?"
"Miss Eve, thank you for remembering me, hehe …" Han Shuo who was standing in front of Eve first covered the surrounding waters with the Banner of Hallucination before he said to Eve with a warm smile.
"Why can you still talk? Hallucination … I'm hallucinating … It seems that he has really hurt me … Damn it … "Eve mumbled to herself as she looked at Han Shuo.
"Yes, it's all an illusion. You won't feel any pain when you die!" Han Shuo's smile turned cold. The surroundings changed. Layers of illusions suddenly erupted from the Banner of Hallucination.
Many gods who were killed by Eve's bad temper suddenly came back to life. They were dragging their own intestines in their hands. Their bodies were rotting, and some were gnawing on their arms …
"Don't come over … Don't come over …" Eve suddenly screamed shrilly. She was terrified by the horrifying scenes around her. She screamed and cried hysterically …
"Hmm … You've killed quite a lot of people. Hehe, you deserve to die!" Han Shuo sneered. He was not in a hurry to take Eve's life. Instead, he looked at Eve who was screaming and screaming miserably in the illusions and slowly tortured her!
It was only when Eve was completely scared out of her wits and her mind was completely taken over by the illusions that Han Shuo finally made his move. With a slash of the Demonic Blades, Eve's head flew into the air. Fresh blood sprayed on the seaweed, creating a bewitchingly beautiful scene.
Eve's divine soul was collected by Han Shuo's Cauldron Spirit. She would soon become a new demon general in the Cauldron of Myriad Demon, forever under Han Shuo's control.
"Your strength is decent, but it's a pity that you haven't really experienced any major setbacks. Your willpower is too weak to even resist the illusions of the Banner of Hallucination. It seems that although the strength of these disciples of major family clans is high, they are not as strong as they used to be …" Han Shuo mumbled to himself. He put away the Banner of Hallucination, dove into the ocean, and stealthily crept towards Cage.
Back in the underground world of Profound Continent, Donna, Bolten, and the others had also fallen into the illusions. Similarly, Donna and the others who possessed terrifying strength were also affected by the illusions. Ever since then, Han Shuo realized that although the disciples of major family clans on Elysium might possess greater strength than him, they were not as experienced as him. Without constantly wandering between life and death, they would not be able to develop an unwavering willpower, which would make them susceptible to the illusions.
Eve had once again confirmed Han Shuo's guess. Soon enough, Han Shuo arrived at Cage's side. Compared to his younger sister Eve, Cage's temperament was considerably more tenacious. He did not retreat in a panic the moment he saw the illusions, but immediately launched a frenzied attack.
Han Shuo could tell that Cage was similarly affected by the illusions. He couldn't tell the difference between illusions and reality at all. Even if Han Shuo didn't use the energy of his main body, he could still kill Cage who was attacking randomly with his two avatars and the Banner of Hallucination.
Illusions were illusions after all. No matter how ferocious or how powerful Cage's attacks were, the illusions would not vanish. Without a physical existence, one could only rely on one's willpower and a heart as hard as a boulder to discern the minutest details. It was obvious that Cage wasn't at that level.
Therefore, Han Shuo didn't attack at all. He watched as Cage consumed his divine energy in the illusions. He was using this kind of frenzied attack to conceal the fear in his heart!
However, what was the use of this?
"Get lost! All of you, get lost! I can kill you all again!" Cage subconsciously shouted to boost his courage as he continued his frenzied attack. Gradually, Cage felt that his attacks were getting heavier and heavier. His mind was getting muddled. It was only then that Cage seemed to realize something.
But it was already too late! It was at this moment that Han Shuo finally made his move!
Han Shuo suddenly closed in on Cage. Disregarding Cage's feeble counterattack, Han Shuo blasted Cage's head with all his might. Invincible Omen Body withstood thirty waves of Cage's attacks while Han Shuo's energy blasted into Cage's head.
Bang … Cage's entire head exploded. Blood and brain matter sprayed everywhere.
Cauldron Spirit collected Cage's divine soul. Han Shuo erased all traces of him from Cage's body. Satisfied, Han Shuo left the scene. Han Shuo also conveniently put away the Banner of Hallucination.
Avery's son and daughter of the Lavers Family had both died at the hands of Han Shuo!
Han Shuo didn't know if Avery would find out that he was the culprit, but he wasn't afraid. Han Shuo had already regarded Avery as his greatest enemy at present. He was prepared to fight against Avery for a long time.
The only thing that made Han Shuo feel a bit regretful was that his relationship with Donna would never be as friendly as it had been in the past from today onwards. Perhaps one day, the two of them would be at loggerheads with each other. This was something that Han Shuo had always wanted to avoid, but had never been able to avoid.
