"You know?" Emily put on a sweet smile and asked, "Then why are you pretending to be like this?"
Han Shuo stretched out his arms and embraced Emily. He softly said, "I already have too many women. What else can I be dissatisfied with? I already have power, strength, and illustrious status. It's about time for me to cultivate my character. Besides, my energy is limited. You don't have that much time to spend with her. I can't bring harm to her. "
Emily gently leaned on Han Shuo and giggled, "Hehe, this isn't like you at all. Didn't you say no to anyone? Look at how many women there are in this house. Is this the result of your womanizing? Why have you changed your mind? "
"Erm …" Han Shuo put on a bitter smile. It was the truth and he didn't know how to refute it. After thinking for a moment, he found a suitable excuse and said, "The reason why I was so indulgent was that the martial arts I practiced were in a very subtle realm. It can't be helped. It's necessary for me to cultivate my strength."
Emily coquettishly rolled her eyes at Han Shuo and poked his chest with her jade-like finger. She softly rebuked, "Stop your sophistry!"
Han Shuo put on a wronged face. He suddenly tightened his grip on Emily and put on a sinister smile. He said, "Women, you don't believe me when I'm telling the truth. You just have to believe lies. Come, come, come, I'm angry. I'm going to punish you! "
"Hehe … Come on, I'm not afraid …" Emily coquettishly swayed her body like a snake.

In the blink of an eye, half a year had passed.
During this time, the Fringe had become even more chaotic. All kinds of rumors and rumors had spread throughout the Omphalos. The Sovereigns led by Tyre and Logue had spread the news that the Godhunter Alliance was going to attack the Fringe. They took the opportunity to force all the forces in the Fringe to obey their commands.
Now that the Sovereigns were facing a formidable foe, the leaders of the major and minor factions realized the gravity of the situation and chose to side with the Sovereigns they trusted, hoping that they would be able to withstand the onslaught of the Godhunter Alliance.
They were all criminals from the Twelve Dominions and they knew that the Fringe was their true home. If the Godhunter Alliance were to invade the Fringe, not only would they lose their home, but they would also become the godhunters' prey, having all their divine energy devoured by the Godhunter Alliance.
They weren't good people to begin with, so they naturally wouldn't give in. After recognizing the situation, they temporarily stopped fighting and killing. While consolidating their own forces, they also made contact with the Sovereigns.
On one hand, Tyre and Logue had made their move early, and on the other hand, they had established their influence in the Fringe for a long time. Hence, many forces, big and small, naturally chose to submit to them. Wasis and Ossora knew that the more power they had, the more bargaining chips they would have when the war came. Therefore, they made promises and even took out a portion of their wealth to rope in the leaders of the major factions.
For a moment, Tyre, Logue, Wasis, and Ossora used all kinds of means to invite the leaders of the major factions to join them.
On the contrary, not only did Han Shuo, who also had the qualifications to recruit the leaders of the major factions, not take any action, he even stated that he wouldn't accept any of the leaders of the major factions for the time being. Han Shuo's actions surprised everyone. Some of the leaders of the major factions who had a favorable impression of Han Shuo even personally visited the Pandemonium, hoping to have a talk with Han Shuo. However, all of them were rejected by Han Shuo.
Not only that, while the Four Sovereigns were using all kinds of means to win the support of the Han family, the Han family in the Pandemonium was like a pool of stagnant water. Apart from the Celestial Pearl Pharmacy owned by the Tanai Han family, none of the core members and experts of the Han family appeared in the Pandemonium. The Han family in the Pandemonium was shrouded in a thick fog. No one knew what was going on there.
Even Han Hao, who had a close relationship with Han Shuo, and the group of villains under his command, had mysteriously disappeared during this period of time. They no longer wreaked havoc in the Fringe. Very few people had seen them.
The Han family's actions in the Pandemonium were extremely unusual at such a sensitive time. The Four Sovereigns and the leaders of the major factions were puzzled as to what the Han family was doing at such a critical time. Due to the Pandemonium's formidable defenses, none of those who wanted to gather information were able to get close to the Pandemonium. Therefore, no matter how puzzled they were, they couldn't find an answer.
Time flew by and another three months had passed. At almost the same time, Tyre, Logue, Wasis, and Ossora each received a piece of news – godhunters were constantly killing gods at the borders of the Fringe, Fate, Death, Space, and Lightning Dominions.
Upon receiving the news, Tyre immediately sent someone to the Pandemonium to invite Han Shuo over for a discussion. However, Statholme rejected the invitation with the excuse that Han Shuo was in seclusion.
The Four Sovereigns reconvened to discuss the godhunters that had appeared at the border of the Four Divine Dominions. Tyre and Logue were especially puzzled. They could not understand why the godhunters would attack the gods that were passing by at such a sensitive time.
From the two's point of view, the Godhunter Alliance that was invading the Fringe was afraid that they wouldn't be able to hide their tracks well enough. They wouldn't want to expose themselves before reaching the Fringe so that the Fringe wouldn't have time to prepare. On the other hand, the Godhunter Alliance had always been rather low-key in their actions. Their impudent operation this time would very likely attract the collective retaliation of the divine guards of the cities in the Four Divine Dominions. No matter how one looked at it, the Godhunter Alliance's operation this time seemed to be unreasonable.
The Four Sovereigns discussed the matter for an entire day but couldn't come to a conclusion. They could only continue to instruct their subordinates to keep an eye on those regions and report to them as soon as there was any news.
… …
At the border between Ethereal City in the Space Dominion and the Fringe, in an ungoverned area, Han Hao was looking at a person who shouldn't be there in astonishment.
"What's wrong? Are you curious? " Scarlett, who had traveled thousands of miles from the Ronson Canyon with her subordinates, thought that Han Hao had noticed the change in her expression when she saw the surprised look on Han Hao's face. She put on a smug smile and asked Han Hao, "What's up?
"What are you doing here?" asked Han Hao with his brows bunched.
Scarlett stared blankly for a moment. She looked at Han Hao up and down in puzzlement and asked, "Didn't you ask me to come?"
Han Hao shook his head and firmly replied, "No, I didn't!"
Scarlett suddenly realized that Han Shuo was lying. She took a good look at Han Hao and softly sighed. She said, "I thought you asked me to come. Since you don't want me to come, I'll just go back."
"Who said I asked you to come?" asked Han Hao after keeping silent for a moment.
"The Patriarch of the Han family. He went to the Ronson Canyon and slaughtered all the godhunter leaders. Then, he asked me to come to the Fringe and healed the scars on my face. He said that it was you who asked me to come to the Fringe. " Scarlett put on a bitter smile and shook her head in a self-deprecating manner. "That's not like you at all. You don't care about anyone. Why would you ask me to come to the Fringe? I guess I was just flattering myself …" Scarlett's voice became so soft that it was almost inaudible.
Han Hao suddenly felt rather odd when he heard that it was Han Shuo's idea. A strange thought came to his mind and he thought, Father wouldn't be looking for a woman for me, would he? As soon as the thought crossed his mind, something in the depths of Han Hao's soul seemed to have been triggered. He looked at Scarlett up and down for a moment. His mind was in a mess and something in his cold heart seemed to have been magnified.
"I'm going back. You … take care of yourself." Scarlett felt extremely ashamed under Han Hao's strange gaze. It was as though her journey of thousands of miles had become a joke. She felt extremely uncomfortable and wanted to escape from this uncomfortable place as soon as possible. She wanted nothing more than to escape from Han Hao's gaze.
"Don't go …" suddenly, Han Hao, who had been silent for a long time, said in a gentle voice.
Scarlett wore a startled face as though she did not know who Han Hao was. She stared at Han Hao with her round, starry eyes. The colors in her eyes became more and more vivid and her heart was beating faster than usual. "What … what did you say …?" Scarlett stammered. She was flustered.
"I said, don't go …" replied Han Hao as though he was not used to speaking in such a gentle manner. He felt very awkward and did not know what was wrong with him.
"You … you have never spoken to anyone in such a tone!" Scarlett took a deep breath. Her voluptuous breasts jiggled and she exuded a soul-stirring beauty in an instant. Her eyes were as bright as the stars as she softly exclaimed, "With those words of yours, it's worth it to bring all my men to the Fringe!"
An inexplicable emotion was suddenly evoked in his heart. Han Hao did not know how to describe the feeling in his heart. He was a little flustered as though he did not dare to face this strange 'thing'. After saying those gentle words, his face abruptly reverted to its unchanging coldness. He said, "Since you are here, you must listen to me! You must do whatever I tell you to do! "
He suddenly felt that this woman might not be easy to tame. Deep in his heart, he decided that he could not treat her like he treated his other subordinates. This feeling made Han Hao very uncomfortable. Therefore, he immediately expressed his attitude and wanted to prove that he still had the upper hand.
Scarlett nodded repeatedly like a chick pecking at grains. She appeared very obedient. Her face bloomed with a dazzling radiance as she said softly, "I will do whatever you tell me to do! Even if you want me to die, I will do it! "
"Very good!" Han Hao nodded satisfactorily and coldly said, "Come here, let me touch you!"
Scarlett's docile face instantly turned as red as the sunset. Her eyes were filled with incredulity. She asked in a trembling voice, "Wha … what?"
"Let me touch you. I don't know why, but I want to touch you!" Han Hao scratched his head, puzzled. He didn't understand why he would have such a thought, which made him look puzzled.
"Alright …" Scarlett lowered her head and felt extremely embarrassed. She stole a glance at some of her subordinates in the distance, who were wearing strange expressions, and felt an urge to dig a hole and hide in it. She raised her head and looked at Han Hao's solemn face. She cursed in her heart and made up her mind. She took a deep breath, lowered her head, and walked towards Han Hao.
