Although Ralph was unkind to everyone, his loyalty to Wallace was unquestionable. Therefore, even though no one liked Ralph, Wallace still trusted him.
One by one, the Divine Guard Chiefs and family patriarchs left. When Andre saw that Ralph was left alone, he knew that his brother Wallace had something to say to him. "Let's go, Carmelita!" Said Andre with a smile. Carmelita tactfully followed behind them, leaving the area to Wallace and Ralph.
"You don't have to worry about what happened today," Wallace comforted Ralph as he gazed deeply into the eyes of Ralph.
"My Lord, I can't accept this!" Ralph lowered his head and let out an aggrieved cry. Then, he suddenly raised his head and said to Wallace, "The Second Corps divine guards have been trained under Your Lordship's orders. The Second Corps has always carried out the most dangerous missions. The privileges of our Second Corps have been earned by piling up human lives. There is no luck involved!"
"I understand!" Wallace nodded with a sullen face and said, "The existence of the Second Corps has solved many of the problems in the City of Shadows. Its position will not be affected too much. Don't worry about that!" After taking a short pause, Wallace continued to console Ralph, "No matter what, the Second Corps is the true force of our House of Sainte. Although the Fifth Corps is powerful, its master is still Brian. He belongs to the Han family! Do you understand what I mean? "
Ralph stared blankly for a moment before he replied, "Yes, I understand!"
No matter what, Ralph's Second Corps was a force under Wallace's control. This force was also a safeguard for Wallace to stabilize his power and position. To Wallace, Ralph's unpopularity was exactly what he wanted to see. He needed someone like Ralph to intimidate the other family clans.
As the City Lord of the City of Shadows, there were many things that Wallace could not do that were too extreme. Most of the time, it would be Ralph who dealt with those whom he could not stand. As a result, Ralph became the biggest villain in the city. In fact, this was all Wallace's doing. Because of the special nature of Ralph's work, it was destined that he would never become a friend of the three major family clans, nor would he gain the approval of the majority of the House of Sainte.
Everything was under Wallace's control. It was Wallace's order that led to Ralph's current predicament.
After hearing Wallace's words, Ralph understood that even if everyone in the City of Shadows hated him, Wallace, the City Lord, would still protect him. Because he and the Second Bureau existed for Wallace! Just as he and the Second Bureau relied on Wallace, Wallace also needed him!
"As long as you understand!" Wallace put on a faint smile and said, "Therefore, regardless of whether you win or lose this battle, your authority and status in the City of Shadows will not be affected!"
"Understood, my lord!" Ralph was relieved. Soon after, he sneered and said, "I will teach him a lesson in the competition of Divine Guard Chiefs three days from now!"
Wallace shook his head and looked at Ralph pitifully. He softly sighed and said, "Forget it. You are no match for him in a fight between Divine Guard Chiefs!" Wallace knew that Han Shuo could even injure Hofs of Hushveil City. Hofs was a late-stage highgod and was obviously stronger than Ralph. If Han Shuo could defeat Hofs, how could Ralph possibly be a match for Han Shuo?
"That's impossible. I'm confident!" Ralph said confidently and solemnly, "Rest assured, my Lord. I will defeat him!"
Wallace would not tell Ralph about the fact that Han Shuo had defeated Hofs. Although he already knew the truth, it would not be appropriate for him to say too much about it. Otherwise, it might have the opposite effect. Wallace had no choice but to remind Ralph to be careful.
After being comforted by Wallace, Ralph felt a little more at ease. With the thought of revenge in three days, he left the place and prepared to reprimand his subordinates for their defeat.
… …
Aobashi and Erebus arrived at the Fifth Corps' Assembly Grounds in high spirits. They came to celebrate with Han Shuo with fine wine in their hands. Erebus, in particular, wore an overjoyed face as though it was his subordinate who had defeated the Second Corps.
"Huh? You are?" As soon as Erebus arrived at the Fifth Corps, he noticed Spider Goddess Rose standing beside Han Shuo. As a cultivator of the energy of darkness, Erebus could immediately sense how terrifying Rose was.
As Han Shuo had been worried that someone might recognize Rose, he would normally not bring Rose to places with many outsiders. Therefore, it was only now that Erebus and Aobashi saw Rose.
Aobashi was also startled. She secretly sensed for a moment and immediately realized that this beautiful woman with a black veil on her head possessed strength on par with hers.
Since when did this kid have such an expert by his side? Both Erebus and Aobashi were very surprised. They exchanged glances with each other and the same thought came to their minds.
"She is my Han family's guard, Rose!" Han Shuo introduced Rose to the two smilingly.
In front of outsiders, Rose was as cold and detached as ever. After nodding at Erebus and Aobashi, Rose left without saying a word. The area was extremely vast. The divine guards of the Fifth Corps who had just returned were scattered all over the place. In the blink of an eye, Rose was nowhere to be found.
"Impressive, Brian. Your Han family has just been established. How did you manage to recruit an expert of this level?" Erebus exclaimed in admiration. He casually tossed a bottle of fine wine to Han Shuo and smilingly said, "Kid, you are just too incredible. I thought that Ralph's Second Corps would always be above everyone's head. I didn't expect that you would be the one to settle it!"
"How long has it been since your Fifth Corps was established? I did not expect that you would rise to power so quickly. Brian, you have a bright future ahead of you!" praised Aobashi smilingly.
"Huh? Isn't this Lord Erebus and Lord Aobashi? Haha, I have just arrived today. I heard that Lord Brian has defeated the Second Corps and avenged my auntie. Therefore, I have come to express my gratitude to Lord Brian! " An elegant voice sounded from afar. Jiya of the House of Kinson flew over gracefully. She wore a faint, elegant smile on her pretty face.
Han Shuo was stunned. He did not expect that this beauty from the House of Kinson would come to express her gratitude. Most of the divine guards of the Fourth Corps were injured by Kiffan and his men. When Han Shuo and Ralph clashed, Camilla was the one who defended Han Shuo the most. She was very grateful to Han Shuo's Fifth Corps for teaching Kiffan and his men a bloody lesson.
"Is Lord Brian not welcoming me?" asked Jiya in a rather uneasy voice when she saw that Han Shuo was standing there in a daze.
"Of course you welcome a beautiful lady. Haha, it's just that there aren't any clean places in the camp. I was afraid that I might neglect Miss Jiya!" replied Han Shuo with a big laugh.
"Lord Brian is too courteous," Jiya put on a faint smile. Her bright eyes swept across the divine guards behind Han Shuo, especially when she looked at Bollands, Sanguinar, and Gilbert. She looked at them for a while longer before she exclaimed in admiration, "Lord Brian has trained the Fifth Corps divine guards to such an extent in such a short period of time. It is truly unfathomable!"
"They are talented. I did not do much," replied Han Shuo in a very modest manner. He chatted casually with Jiya who had come without warning.
Jiya's appearance was outstanding and graceful. As soon as she arrived, all the divine guards around her gathered their gazes on her. Their faces were filled with ambiguous expressions. From their point of view, Jiya, a famous beauty in the City of Shadows, had come all the way to Han Shuo's doorstep. They were secretly envious of Han Shuo's luck with women as the new Chief of Divine Guards.
Rose too was a beauty. But unfortunately, Rose was cold and indifferent to everyone. The divine guards had all witnessed Rose's inhuman strength. Therefore, every one of them was trembling with fear and trepidation when they saw Rose. They did not dare to look at Rose with impudent gazes, fearing that Rose would teach them a lesson.
Yet, Rose, an extremely beautiful woman with outstanding strength, was obedient and docile to Han Shuo. No matter how Han Shuo ordered her, she would obey him obediently!
And now, Han Shuo had quite a few beauties in the Han Family. Each and every one of them was dazzling and dazzling. All of them were true beauties that could only be found once in a thousand. To be able to make so many beauties get along harmoniously with each other, and to have more and more beauties come to him of their own volition, it was not something that an ordinary person could do!
To these divine guards, although Han Shuo possessed valiant strength, his ability to tame women was even more admirable. He was a man, after all. Their obsessions in certain areas were irrational. They all thought that Han Shuo's methods with women had already reached the acme of perfection.
When the divine guards saw that Han Shuo was smiling and chatting cheerfully with Jiya in a relaxed and carefree manner, they became more attentive than ever. They secretly memorized every word that Han Shuo said. They were prepared to go back and study Han Shuo's words so that they could improve their skills in this field.
After Jiya joined the conversation, Han Shuo was no longer as unscrupulous as before. After smiling and feigning civility for a while, Jiya took the initiative to leave. Before she left, she repeatedly said that she admired a character like Han Shuo the most. She looked at Han Shuo with a gaze that seemed to be hinting at something.
"That chick is interested in you!" as soon as Jiya left, Erebus, whose face was flushed from drinking, immediately said in a strange smile.
"Nonsense. I think her main purpose of coming here is to express goodwill to me. She hopes that she can share more of the medicines that I personally refine with her family clan!" Han Shuo said smilingly.
"Look at you. You obviously know what's going on but you pretend to be ignorant! Youngster, you are indeed a scoundrel! " Aobashi glared at Han Shuo and groaned, "But you can indeed be proud of yourself. That chick Jiya has her eyes on the top of her head in the City of Shadows. I have never heard of her flirting with any young man. Now that she has come to you alone to express her gratitude, it would be strange if she said that she isn't interested in you!"
Han Shuo shrugged and said, "What does that have to do with me? I have enough women in my house. I get a headache whenever I see a beautiful woman. I hope she won't bother me! "
Aobashi glared at Han Shuo with her hands on her hips and said, "You get a headache whenever you see me?"
"No!" Replied Han Shuo hastily. Upon hearing those words, the anger on Aobashi's face grew even more intense. She cursed in her heart.
"Are you saying that I'm not a beautiful woman?" Aobashi was enraged.
