"My Lord, is that guy out of his mind? What a joke! He's just a lowly midgod and he wants My Lord to submit to him! My Lord, we should get rid of him! " Shouted one of Haruli's subordinates as soon as he left. From his point of view, Han Shuo's actions were enough to get him killed hundreds of times over.
"What a lunatic! No wonder Buzz wants to kill them. They are courting death! " Said another of Haruli's subordinates disdainfully. "We don't even need to do anything. As soon as they leave the Omphalos, death will be waiting for them!"
Haruli's face turned gloomy. He did not expect that Han Shuo would dare to utter such arrogant words. It was a great humiliation to him. Haruli was one of the top characters in the Fringe. Sometimes, he wouldn't even listen to the Five Sovereigns. He had lived in the Fringe for many years and had never suffered any losses. His reputation was even greater than Buzz's. That was why he dared to take on the job.
He thought that under such circumstances, Han Shuo and his party would be more than happy to spend a million black crystal coins to seek his protection. After all, although crystal coins were precious, they were far less valuable than the lives of eight people. Haruli did not expect that not only did Han Shuo not have the slightest intention of seeking protection, but he even dared to utter such arrogant words. That was not the way a normal person should think.
"Lossia, stay here and keep an eye on them. See when they will leave the Omphalos. Once they leave, send me a message. I want to see how they will die! "Haruli coldly groaned and instructed one of his subordinates.
A highgod of earth nodded, turned around, and went into a complicated street. He hid in a dark corner and watched Han Shuo and his party from afar.
… …
"I have never heard of Haruli before. But for him to dare to go against Buzz, he must possess extraordinary strength. My Lord, you are being a little too rude! " Rose didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She couldn't understand why Han Shuo would make such a bold claim. No matter what, Haruli was one of the most powerful people in the Fringe. Before Han Shuo could prove his terrifying strength, he would only look like a joke in the eyes of others.
Han Shuo had his own plans. He turned to Rose smilingly and said, "To deal with a proud and arrogant person like Haruli, we need to use some special means. Just wait and see, he will definitely feel indignant and secretly observe our every move. Hehe, as long as there's curiosity in my heart, I'll drag him onto my pirate ship bit by bit. "
"We're not familiar with the Fringe at all. If we can subdue Haruli, the local tyrant, it will be very convenient for us in the future. Father, Haruli will definitely keep an eye on us. As long as we can prove that we possess strength that far surpasses the average Fringe, and Father sincerely invites us to join him, we might really succeed! "Han Hao, the Little Skull, expressed his opinion after thinking for a moment.
To deal with someone as arrogant as Haruli, one must first overwhelm him in terms of demeanor and make him admit that he is far inferior to one in all aspects. Then, one must suddenly change his attitude and invite him sincerely. That way, the chances of success would be very high. Han Shuo looked at Little Skull and thought to himself, It seems that Little Skull understands me the best. Rose doesn't have any experience in dealing with humans. She clearly isn't an expert in this aspect.
"Rose, you mentioned that you have some friends in the Fringe. Do you think any of them can join us?" Han Shuo bunched his brows and pondered for a moment before he suddenly asked.
Rose stared blankly for a moment before she nodded and replied, "I do have some friends. But I don't think they will be staying in the Omphalos. They don't have that many black crystal coins to spend. If we want to find them, we must leave the Omphalos. But with Buzz blocking our way outside the Omphalos, it's going to be a little difficult. "
"Then let's leave the Omphalos first. The battles outside the Omphalos are more suitable for us." Han Shuo rolled his eyes and said, "There are some people who are paying close attention to our every move. Hehe, it seems like we're quite popular in the Fringe!"
"Are we really leaving the Omphalos?" Perhaps it was because Buzz and Bertha had left too deep of an impression on her that Rose wasn't as straightforward as usual.
"Let's leave the Omphalos!" Han Shuo affirmed before he leisurely made his way to the checkpoint of the Omphalos. He could sense that there were several people watching them from the shadows. Those people were probably Buzz and Haruli's subordinates.
The streets of the Omphalos were lined with stalls selling various kinds of goods. Along the way, Han Shuo even had the mood to squat down and observe the goods. He would buy whatever he liked without hesitation.
The origins of the goods in the Fringe were usually unusual. The sellers were usually the representatives of various factions. Many of these people were also engaged in special trades. They would first sell the goods to the buyer to see if the buyer had enough black crystal coins. Then, as soon as the buyer left the Omphalos, they would immediately rob the buyer of the goods. Not only would they rob the buyer of the goods, but they would also rob the buyer of the black crystal coins and the buyer's life.
There was a strange phenomenon that often occurred in the Fringe. Someone would sell an expensive product at a very low price. Then, a day or two later, that person would reappear and sell the same product. Then, a few days later, they would reappear at the same location with the same product. That was what they were doing.
Rose was very familiar with this trade. When Han Shuo bought a few high-grade Chalcedony Crystals and Bones of Ice at a very low price, Rose would remind Han Shuo what kind of trade those people were doing.
Not only was Han Shuo not worried at all, he even excitedly asked Rose, "Keep an eye out and see who else is doing this trade. Hehe, it would be a waste not to take advantage of this opportunity!"
"But, once we leave the Omphalos, they will definitely surround us like flies! We already have Buzz and Bertha outside the Omphalos, and that Haruli will not let us off easily. If there are other factions here, won't we be surrounded by powerful enemies? " Rose was used to being a lone wolf. She had always kept to herself when she was in the Fringe and did not provoke powerful enemies. So, she did not understand why Han Shuo would do this.
"That's exactly what I want!" Han Shuo chuckled and urged Rose, "Don't worry about it. Just point me to the people who are doing this trade. Since we are going to make a scene, we need to make it big. Otherwise, how are we going to make a name for ourselves in the Fringe so quickly? "
Rose could not help but smile bitterly in her heart. She wondered if it was the right decision to bring Han Shuo to the Fringe. If Han Shuo were to do this, he would offend all the factions in the Fringe. If hundreds or thousands of experts from the Fringe were to gang up on them, Rose did not know if she would be able to leave the Fringe alive.
Han Shuo took a glance at Rose and guessed what she was thinking from her expression. He couldn't help but laugh and said, "You have been with me for so long. When have you ever seen me fight a battle I'm not confident of winning? With these little fellas around, even if the Five Sovereigns come, we will be able to leave the Fringe with ease. Don't you worry too much! "
Although the five elite zombies themselves weren't necessarily very powerful, their innate abilities were incomparably miraculous. Just the earth elite zombie's ability to burrow through the ground allowed them to shake off layers upon layers of pursuers. In addition to the metal elite zombie's unimpeded movement between mountains and rivers, and the wood elite zombie's ability to conceal himself in the forest, who could catch them?
"Alright then, I'll point them out to you." Rose took the lead and walked in front. She secretly pointed out some special products to Han Shuo, hinting to him that those people were special people who specialized in this trade.
After paying close attention, Han Shuo discovered that those people had very strange gazes. They would pay close attention to everything around them. They would secretly observe the person's strength, the clothes they were wearing, the capacity of their space ring, and the expression on their faces when they took out their black crystal coins to purchase their products.
Through such detailed observation, they could determine the general strength and wealth of a person. They would then use their own channels to contact their buddies outside of the Fringe and assemble suitable forces to block the person's path of escape. They would then rob the person of his life and all his valuables.
In the end, even without Rose's guidance, Han Shuo was able to identify those people who specialized in this trade with just a glance. Along the way to the checkpoint in the Omphalos, Han Shuo would happily purchase a lot of cheap treasures. In his heart, he had the same ulterior motives as those people.
Gradually, more and more people followed behind Han Shuo. Not only were there Buzz's and Haruli's subordinates, but also those people whom Han Shuo had purchased goods from. They secretly followed behind Han Shuo and acted as scouts.
Outside of the Omphalos, the various forces were busy gathering at the checkpoint where Han Shuo was going to exit.
"There's a big fat sheep here. Brothers, keep your spirits up. Damn it, that brat has at least a few million black crystal coins in his hands. Just now when Feng Ji was selling things to him, he took out several big bags of black crystal coins. As long as we kill him, we can rest for a long time! "
"Hey, isn't that Buzz's subordinate? Damn it, how did he receive the news as well? Looks like we're in trouble this time! "
"Ah, Haruli's men are also hiding in the dark. How did that kid offend so many people? Brothers, retreat for the time being. Don't be in a hurry to act. Let's play it by ear! "
"…"
Several forces slowly gathered outside the checkpoint. Many of them were familiar with each other. Each of them wore gloomy expressions as they waited for Han Shuo's group to exit the Omphalos.
"Lord Haruli, there are already 23 forces coming from all directions. It seems like … they are all targeting that group of people!" Someone in the dark said in a low voice.
Haruli's face turned ugly. He cursed in a low voice, "Lunatic! That guy is really a lunatic! He actually attracted most of the ruthless people in the vicinity! What is that guy trying to do? Even if he wants to die, he shouldn't do this! "
