Andrina could be considered as half an owner of the Celestial Pearl Pharmacy. Everyone here recognized her. Anito forcibly parted the crowd and led Andrina and her party straight into the center of the city.
Anito sized up Emily and her party behind Andrina in a rather puzzled manner. As a midgod, Anito could tell at a glance that these people possessed meager strength. He could not understand why Andrina, who possessed unfathomable strength, would bring such a group of people with her.
"Hey, Andrina, you're back!" Akley, who was standing lazily in front of the entrance, saw Andrina among the crowd and shouted from afar.
"Where's Brian?" Angelina waved her hand at the people behind her and walked over to Akley's side. She immediately asked when she reached Akley's side.
"Brian is in the banquet hall with the members of the major family clans. He should be distributing the newly refined medicines. Are you in a hurry to find him?" Akley asked.
"Got it." Andrina pointed at the group behind her and instructed Akley, "Help them settle down first. They are Brian's friends. Do not neglect them."
After saying those words to Akley in an overbearing manner of an old man, Angelina turned her head around and said to Fanny and the other women smilingly, "Rest well, sisters. This is the City of Shadows. There will be no more accidents."
The group had been on tenterhooks along the way. They must have suffered quite a lot of setbacks. After hearing Andrina's words, they all heaved a sigh of relief.
Statholme the old monster gazed at the bustling crowd with reverence. He said to Ayermike in a low voice, "Look at these people. Every one of them possesses an incredibly powerful aura. They should all be lowgods at the very least. On this continent, we need to improve our strength as quickly as possible. Otherwise, even if Brian were to take us in, we would not be able to do much without sufficient strength. "
Ayermike nodded in agreement and replied in a deep voice, "That's right. We are not like those girls. We don't have such deep feelings for Brian. If I become his burden, even if he doesn't chase me away, I won't have the face to stay. "
These characters, who could summon the wind and summon the rain in the Profound Continent, were obviously agitated by the intimidation of so many experts. Although they had also been agitated along the way, they had never experienced such a scene where so many experts had gathered. When they discovered that everyone around them could squash them like ants with just a flick of a finger, the feeling of grievance in their hearts was too strong.
"So it's Brian's friends. Come, come, come. I've arranged a place for you. Haha, our Celestial Pearl Pharmacy has a lot of empty rooms," Akley laughed heartily and led Statholme, Emily, and the others away.
Those demigods and basegods who sensed Akley's intention did not waste any time after they were settled down. They immediately began to cultivate and gather the elements, not letting go of any opportunity to improve their strength.
Andrina did not leave with them. Instead, she went to the banquet hall that was used to entertain the major families.
…
"Everyone, are you all satisfied with the distribution?" In the banquet hall, Han Shuo pushed the medicines he had prepared to each major family clan according to their strength and asked smilingly.
Every family clan representative had a large pile of medicines in front of them. They were all beaming with joy and nodding their heads to express their satisfaction.
Bags of black crystal coins were generously thrown in front of Han Shuo. The black crystal coins piled up like a small hill. After the crowd expressed their satisfaction, Han Shuo smilingly put away the bags of black crystal coins. As he had refined more medicinal pellets this time, Han Shuo roughly estimated that he had obtained nearly three hundred thousand black crystal coins. This was no small sum.
"Everyone, since everyone has obtained the amount they are satisfied with, I propose a toast to celebrate," Andre smilingly raised his cup. His voice gradually spread throughout the banquet hall.
Everyone gave Andre face. Upon hearing Andre's suggestion, they all smiled and raised their cups, indicating to Andre and Han Shuo.
"Cough, cough …" Suddenly, an untimely cough was heard. It was as if someone had choked on alcohol.
The people who were smiling and drinking turned to look at the source of the sound. They saw Portlem coughing non-stop. His face was flushed red. It seemed that he had indeed choked on alcohol. He was patting his chest and looking in the direction of the door with a rather unsightly expression.
The crowd was puzzled. They followed his line of sight and suddenly saw a little girl with a frosty expression standing at the door.
"Andrina!" Han Shuo cried out in pleasant surprise, "It's great that you're alright. I've been worried about your safety. I heard from Carmelita that you seemed to have met with an accident on the way here. What happened? "
Andrina did not immediately answer Han Shuo's question. Instead, she looked at Portlem coldly and walked towards him step by step. She was brimming with killing intent and anyone could tell what she was about to do.
The people present were no fools. From the expressions on Andrina and Portlem's faces, they could immediately guess that there was a grudge between the two, especially Han Shuo. His face immediately turned dark and his cold gaze swept across Portlem's body.
"I don't know his name but on the way back to the City of Shadows, he was the one who coveted the beauty of a few older sisters. When he saw that our strengths were weak, he tried to rob us. This man also has an uncle with extraordinary strength. With him and a few divine guards, we nearly lost our lives, "Andrina looked at Han Shuo and said in a cold voice after walking to Portlem's side.
Han Shuo's face turned unsightly. His eyes were like unsheathed swords that shot straight at Portlem. He softly asked, "Young Master Portlem, is that right?"
"Brian, there's been a misunderstanding. I didn't know that they were from your Celestial Pearl Pharmacy! Those people didn't even possess demigod or basegod strengths. They were either young or old. There were even a few women. How would I know that they were from your Celestial Pearl Pharmacy? "Portlem put on a bitter smile and hastily explained.
"I remember saying the name of Celestial Pearl to avoid any misunderstandings. As a highgod, how could you not have heard it?" Andrina raised her brows and shouted coldly.
As soon as she finished those words, Andrina suddenly made her move. A curtain of dazzling light flew out from her body. She turned into a streak of light and streaked towards Portlem.
Portlem, who was about to explain himself, jolted when he saw Andrina suddenly making her move. His robe suddenly shattered, revealing a divine armor with three segments of dried bones. Portlem knew that Andrina possessed extraordinary strength. He immediately defended with all his might. He poured his divine energy of death into the divine armor. The divine armor turned the color of bones and formed several layers of defensive force fields.
At the same time, Portlem waved his two hands. His divine energy of death condensed into a white bone shield that covered everything in front of him.
"Bang!"
The dazzling curtain of light that Andrina made her move collided with the white bone shield. Andrina's strength was much stronger than Portlem's. Crack! The white bone shield completely shattered. Andrina seized the opportunity and pressed her tender little hand on Portlem's chest.
Pow! Pow! Pow! Portlem kept retreating. His face was sickly pale.
Crack! Han Shuo, who was holding a wine glass in his hand, took advantage of Portlem's retreat to suddenly close in on him. The shattered wine glass pierced into Portlem's back and sent him staggering forward.
Angelina's sudden attack and Han Shuo's sneak attack happened in the blink of an eye. There were quite a few highgods in the banquet hall. But unfortunately for them, none of them expected that Angelina and Han Shuo would be so impulsive. They attacked the moment they disagreed with each other, and they did not even care about sneak attacks.
"Stop!" By the time Andre cried out, Andrina and Han Shuo had already launched their attacks. Portlem took the opportunity to retreat to Charlotte's side. A trickle of blood flowed out from the corner of his mouth. His face was pale and unsightly. His calm demeanor was nowhere to be seen. His eyes were filled with viciousness.
Whoosh! Angelina took advantage of the situation and thrust herself into the gap between Charlotte and Portlem. She raised her hand and struck at Portlem.
Han Shuo wore a callous face. His body swayed a few times and left a long and narrow blurry shadow. He too did not listen to Andre's instructions and attacked Portlem from the side.
"Brian, calm down. Let's figure out what's going on first!" Andre shouted in a deep voice and pounced at Portlem.
Andrina and Han Shuo remained unmoved. They kept their eyes fixed on Portlem. However, Charlotte, who was on the other side, suddenly made a move to help Portlem stop Andrina. The two were fully prepared. They faced Andrina's attack as though they were facing a formidable foe. They completely ignored Han Shuo's sneak attack from behind.
In the eyes of Charlotte and Portlem, Andrina was the truly terrifying character. As for Han Shuo, he was the kind that could be completely ignored. Han Shuo's sneak attack did not leave any serious injuries on Portlem's body. The trickle of blood from Portlem's mouth was left behind by Andrina.
Charlotte and Portlem were focused on attacking Andrina alone. Their backs were wide open and they paid no attention to Han Shuo's arrival.
By this time, Andre had already pounced at Portlem. His goal was to stop Andrina and he paid no attention to Han Shuo.
The corners of Han Shuo's mouth curled into a sinister smile. He stretched out his hand at lightning speed and pressed it against Portlem's back. In an instant, Cauldron Spirit's energy surged into Han Shuo's body. A terrifying energy violently blasted into Portlem's back.
It was the same position as before but this time, Cauldron Spirit's energy was added.
Pow! Portlem's body suddenly flew into the air. He spat out a mouthful of blood.
When Rugersey saw that Portlem was flying towards him, he hastily extended his hand to intercept him. Suddenly, an enormous force assaulted him. Rugersey was startled. He took a few steps back before he came to a halt.
"Bu, Brian!" Rugersey stared at Han Shuo as though he had seen a ghost. His face was filled with disbelief.
When Rugersey caught Portlem, he experienced the terror of that energy. Naturally, he knew that the energy did not originate from Portlem. When he realized that the unfamiliar energy that severely injured Portlem was unleashed by Han Shuo, the fear in his heart was simply indescribable.
In the eyes of everyone in the City of Shadows, Han Shuo was a supremely talented pharmacist. However, no one had ever treated Han Shuo as an expert because Han Shuo had displayed the strength of a lowgod of death from the very beginning. This was also the reason why Rugersey dared to attack Han Shuo at the Kisa Residence.
A lowgod was just too ordinary in the City of Shadows. No one would pay any attention to him!
However, when Han Shuo, who everyone thought only knew how to refine medicines, suddenly erupted with highgod strength, that kind of shocking power shocked everyone.
Although the crowd could not directly sense the terrifying energy of Han Shuo's attack as Rugersey could, they knew that the one who sent Portlem flying and spurting blood was not Andrina, but Han Shuo!
That was because Andrina, with Andre's help, did not have the chance to land her attack on Portlem!
The banquet hall was dead silent. It was as though everyone had just met Han Shuo for the first time. All of them were stupefied as they looked at Han Shuo who was charging at Portlem with a callous face, completely unaffected by his surroundings.
At this moment, Han Shuo's face was devoid of his usual gentle smile. There was only an indifferent coldness to life. The imposing manner of someone who had walked the path of slaughter didn't need any reminders. Everyone present immediately realized it.
'This fella has killed a lot of people!' The crowd thought to themselves.
It was also at this moment that they suddenly came to a realization. They thought to themselves, So it turns out that the warm smile of that kid all along was only a brilliant disguise, and the domineering, cold, and bloodthirsty appearance at this moment seemed to be his true face!
Rugersey put on a bitter smile. In his heart, he rejoiced that Erebus and Andre had coincidentally arrived at the Kisa Residence. Otherwise, when faced with an unfathomable little monster like Andrina and a Han Shuo who hid his strength even more deeply and attacked even more viciously, wouldn't his provocation back then have been akin to seeking death?
Rugersey wasn't the only one who thought that Han Shuo was even more terrifying than Andrina!
A person who could conceal his strength so that everyone would overlook him, and then suddenly strike a fatal blow without stopping for anyone. This forbearance, this tenacity, this insidiousness, and this sudden eruption of terrifying strength was enough to make one's scalp go numb just thinking about it!
"Brian, give me some face. Don't kill him!" Andre shouted. He was firmly blocked by Angelina and had no way to stop Han Shuo. That was all he could say.
Han Shuo did not say a word. He charged at Portlem who was in Rugersey's hands and was bleeding profusely. It was obvious that Han Shuo did not give Andre any face.
If worst comes to worst, I'll leave the City of Shadows. If worst comes to worst, I'll go to another Dominion and start over. Even if I can't stay in the Calamity Church anymore, I'll at most go to the Space Dominion or the Destiny Dominion! Han Shuo had this realization the moment he'd made his move!
"Everyone stop him! If Portlem dies in the City of Shadows, we won't be able to explain ourselves!" Andre hastily shouted when he saw that Han Shuo remained unmoved. He really did not expect that Han Shuo, who was usually courteous and courteous to him, would be so unscrupulous and disrespectful when he attacked!
This fella is even more dangerous than Andrina. I've been with him for so long and yet I didn't notice it. How frightening! No wonder Avery failed to kill him twice. This fella is even more ruthless than Avery! Andre thought to himself.
His loud shout woke up everyone in the banquet hall. Portlem's family clan was renowned in the Death Dominion. If he were to die in the City of Shadows, the House of Sainte would be put in a difficult position. Therefore, those who were stunned by Han Shuo hastily tried to stop Han Shuo.
"Bryan, calm down!" "Bryan, let's talk this out!" "Everything can be discussed!" "Everything can be discussed!"
"… …"
They were shouting and yelling. Portlem was thrown away by Rugersey. When those who caught him saw that Han Shuo was charging at them, they immediately threw Portlem away.
Blood was flowing out of Portlem's mouth. He was dizzy from being thrown around. When he saw that Han Shuo was chasing after him, the fear in his heart grew deeper and deeper.
Goddamnit, is this fella a lunatic? He knows who I am and yet he still dares to attack me so recklessly! This damned fella is too treacherous. He didn't even use his full strength in his first attack. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been so defenseless. Why are there so many lunatics in this Celestial Pearl Pharmacy? Portlem's head was spinning and he screamed in his mind.
"Brian, your body can't hold on much longer!" Cauldron Spirit transmitted to Han Shuo's consciousness.
Han Shuo sighed helplessly in his mind. He suddenly stopped and shouted, "Andrina, stop!"
"Why?" Andrina glared at the two without turning her head.
"We can't kill him!" Han Shuo said helplessly.
Andrina coldly groaned and retreated to Han Shuo's side. She stared coldly at Portlem who had returned to Rugersey's hand and said, "I'll remember you!"
"Lord Andre, what do you plan to do?" Han Shuo took a deep breath, looked at Andre, and asked.
"You, you scoundrel, sigh, I don't even know what to say to you!" Andre said hatefully. His face was filled with embarrassment. Andre waved his hand and ordered, "Rugersey, bring Portlem to the Sainte Residence immediately!"
"Wait, tell him to leave my medicines behind. I'm not doing business with him!" Andre casually threw a bag of crystal coins and flew towards Rugersey.
Rugersey looked at Andre with an awkward expression and asked, "Erm …"
"And you!" Another bag of crystal coins was thrown out and landed right at Charlotte's feet.
Charlotte's expression was extremely ugly. She cursed Portlem in her heart. She wanted to say something, but when she recalled how shameless Portlem was, she could only sigh helplessly. She took out the potions she had kept and silently placed them on the table in front of her. She picked up the bag of crystal coins and walked towards Portlem. She asked Portlem to take out the potions as well. Then, she left with Portlem and Rugersey.
If it weren't for the fact that I can't hold on for too long, don't even think about leaving here alive! Han Shuo coldly groaned in his mind as he watched Portlem leave.
"Brian, I think it's time for us to have a good talk!" Andre said with a bitter smile.
