The youths stared blankly for a moment. They did not understand why Han Hao would ask such a question. "Yes, we did bring a lot of black crystal coins with us when we came to the Fringe. Otherwise, we wouldn't have been able to stay in the Omphalos until now," one of them hesitated for a moment before replying with a puzzled expression.
These youths were the scum of some of the Twelve Dominions. Even if they weren't, they must have done something outrageous. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been banished to the Fringe. To be able to survive in the Omphalos until now, they must have a lot of black crystal coins in their hands. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to sustain the Omphalos' daily expenditure of a hundred black crystal coins.
Han Hao knitted his brows and pondered for a moment. He carefully looked at the youths. After a moment of silence, he said, "Pay five hundred thousand black crystal coins each and I will allow you to follow me. Think about it. It's not safe for you to work for me. But I can assure you that I won't use you as cannon fodder. "
"Five hundred thousand black crystal coins!" The seemingly timid girl suddenly exclaimed.
The few of them looked at each other, their faces full of awkwardness. Five hundred thousand black crystal coins was not a small sum. It was enough for them to live peacefully in Tanai for decades. It didn't seem appropriate for them to hand over such a large sum of black crystal coins to Han Hao without any guarantee of their safety.
"All of you come from families in the Twelve Dominions. If you follow me, I can assure you that when you are strong enough, I will help you return to your families and reclaim everything that belongs to you. Yes, of course, I will also help you settle the grudges that forced you to leave the Twelve Dominions! " As though he saw their hesitation, Han Hao added. He waved his hand coldly and said, "Go back and think about it. If you don't have enough strength, even if you return to your families and reclaim everything that belongs to you, will you be able to keep it? "
The youths were tempted by Han Hao's words. They looked at each other and pondered over Han Hao's proposal. One of them said in a deep voice, "What you said is very reasonable. Let's go back and discuss this. It won't be easy for each of us to fork out five hundred thousand black crystal coins. Even if we agree to it, we will still need to work with each other."
Han Hao's expression was cold. He closed his eyes again and said nothing.
The young men bowed to him, frowned, and pondered over his suggestion. Then, they left.
As soon as they left, Han Tu asked anxiously, "Big brother, why do you want them?"
"They come from families in the Twelve Divine Realms. Those families have some influence in the Twelve Divine Realms. If these fellows can grow in our hands and one day return to the Twelve Divine Realms, with their bloodlines and our help, these fellows can become patriarchs of those families and help us control many families.
I collected five hundred thousand black crystal coins from each of them to cut off their means of escape. Only when they are penniless will they not think of using the Omphalos to save their lives in times of danger. Without a path of retreat, they will be able to display their potential to the greatest extent. These guys have consumed all kinds of divine crystals since they were young, so their aptitudes are pretty good. They just lack actual combat experience and the baptism of fresh blood. However, I will give them these! " Han Hao opened his eyes and looked at Han Tu. After explaining everything to Han Tu, he lectured, "Little Tu, as you grow stronger, remember to think about the ways of the world. Only by understanding what they think and how they do things can you be of greater help to Father! "
Han Tu fell into deep thought after listening to Han Hao's words. It was only now that he understood why Han Hao was the undisputed leader of the group. Other than the fact that Han Hao was stronger than them, his wisdom played a major role.
"I understand, Big Brother!" Han Tu wholeheartedly accepted Han Tu's advice. He thought, Big Brother is truly insidious. It's no wonder that he has been able to prosper in the Death Dominion all these years.
… …
Outside the Omphalos, Han Shuo, Romont, Zovic, Rose, Wood Elite Zombie, and the others arrived. As soon as they arrived at the checkpoint of the Omphalos, the guard who had repeatedly warned Han Shuo about the checkpoint laughed heartily and said, "Welcome, friend!"
It was this guard who had leaked the information about Kage to Han Shuo. Han Shuo was certain that this guard was one of the Five Sovereigns. Although this guard did not show any malicious intent, Han Shuo was still on guard. "What a coincidence to run into you again," replied Han Shuo smilingly. "Have you been in charge of this checkpoint all this while?"
"No. But I will be in charge of this checkpoint for some time," explained the guard. Then, he put on a solemn face and said, "I didn't have the chance to introduce myself last time. Haha, I'm Luolong. You can say that I'm a follower of Lord Ossora. How should I address you, Your Excellency?"
"Brian, it's my first time here. Hehe, I'm sure I'll have to trouble you with many things in the future. Please take care of me, "replied Han Shuo in a composed manner. He went up to Luolong and handed over the crystal coins they had to pay. He took a few small tokens from Luolong and distributed them to Han Mu, Romont, and the others.
"I heard that Kage is dead. Haha, Salas's men are searching for the murderer!" Luolong suddenly put on a smile and said in a low voice. He looked deeply into Han Shuo's eyes and observed the changes in Han Shuo's expression.
Han Shuo had been through all kinds of storms and waves. He was well-versed in such matters. He was astonished. Han Shuo replied, "How could Kage be killed so quickly? Damn it, I was planning to buy some special ores from him. I heard that he had plundered a large amount of very precious ores. I had been looking for him for so long just for that. I didn't expect that he would be killed. What bad luck, "after taking a short pause, Han Shuo asked Luolong curiously," Do you know who killed him? And the whereabouts of that batch of ores? "
Luolong looked deeply into Han Shuo's eyes. However, he couldn't see anything wrong with Han Shuo's expression. He found it a little strange. Could it really have nothing to do with him? Frowning, Luolong shook his head and said, "I only know that Kage's head was cut off. His body was also surrounded by the subordinates of Sovereign Logue and Sovereign Tyre. As for who did it, no one knows for sure. Hmm, I do know a little about the whereabouts of that batch of ores. It seems that Kage had offered them to Sovereign Salas as a tribute. Why? Are you interested? "
Han Shuo pretended to be stunned. After a long while, he shook his head with a bitter smile and said, "Since it is Sovereign Salas, I guess it won't be easy to get it back. Salas definitely doesn't lack black crystal coins. I can only give up on this idea."
Han Shuo was overjoyed when he heard that Kage had been killed without leaving any evidence behind. He thought to himself, Han Hao is indeed capable. He actually managed to get rid of Kage.
Metal Elite Zombie, who was standing not far behind Han Shuo, was obviously overjoyed. He knew that Kage's death must have something to do with Han Hao. He secretly admired Han Hao's capability.
"It's good that you think so. Salas is a lunatic. Not many in the Fringe are willing to provoke him," Han Shuo nodded. Then, he suddenly lowered his voice and said to Han Shuo, "Brian, my master, Lord Ossora, wants to meet you. Are you interested?"
Han Shuo was startled. He couldn't figure out what Luolong meant. He bunched his brows and asked, "Ossora of the Five Sovereigns? He wants to meet me? " After taking a short pause, Han Shuo put on a faint smile and said, "You know that I have no intention of following anyone, not even the Five Sovereigns."
"Don't misunderstand!" Luolong hastily clarified, "Lord Ossora has no such intention. I can guarantee that! In fact, Lord Ossora just wants to meet you and see if there are any areas in the Fringe that he can cooperate with. Brian, although you possess extraordinary strength, the Fringe is a complicated place. Even if you don't need to pledge allegiance to any party, you will still need to make friends. "
Luolong's words piqued Han Shuo's interest in Ossora. It was true that Han Shuo had no intention of pledging allegiance to any party. But if he could make use of the discord between the Five Sovereigns to form an alliance with one of them, Han Shuo would be more than happy to do so.
After thinking for a moment, Han Shuo nodded with a smile and said, "No problem. I will stay in the Omphalos for a few days. If you have any news about Ossora, just let me know. "
"Alright, I will leave you to your work. I need to report to Lord Ossora," said Han Shuo. Luolong was overjoyed to hear that Han Shuo had agreed to his request. He loudly shouted at the guards, "Look carefully, these are Lord Ossora's guests. Tanai is in the Omphalos. If anyone dares to cause trouble, throw them out of the Omphalos."
Han Shuo nodded smilingly and led Romont and the others into the Omphalos.
With one thought, Han Shuo immediately located the location of Little Skull, Han Hao, and Han Tu. He led the way and rapidly approached their location.
Han Shuo grew more and more confident in Han Hao after hearing that Kage had been killed. It was not only because of Han Hao's strength, but also because Han Hao's ability to carry out his tasks flawlessly. If even Luolong could not trace Han Hao's whereabouts to Han Hao, it meant that Han Hao's intelligence had far surpassed that of an average lifeform.
Han Shuo, who was secretly amazed, followed his and Han Hao's senses and arrived at a remote area of the Omphalos.
There, Han Hao was sitting cross-legged on the ground with an indifferent face. Several luxuriously dressed young men were kneeling before him. They were solemnly swearing that they would be loyal to Han Hao. They also took out a large number of Black Crystal Coins and handed them to Han Hao with reverence and reverence.
At this moment, Han Tu laughed heartily and stepped forward to help Han Hao accept the Black Crystal Coins. He then patted the young men's shoulders and said, "From now on, we are on the same side. We are on the same side … Hehe …"
Han Hao raised his head and looked at Han Shuo from afar. He instructed the young men, "Except for me, all of you remember to listen to him!" He then pointed at Han Shuo with a solemn face.
