Carmelita and Andre remained silent as though they did not hear Erebus and Aobashi's conversation. They neither expressed their admiration nor objected.
Aobashi and Erebus exchanged glances. After a short pause, Aobashi let out a soft cough and said, "I'm going to take a look." With that said, Aobashi immediately walked out of the place without waiting for Andre and Carmelita's consent.
"Sigh … Actually, you can't blame Brian for what happened back then. The City Lord did push him too far. Back in the City of Gorging Clouds, the City Lord also wanted to deal with Brian. Under those circumstances, Brian didn't seem to be able to do anything, so … so … "
In the end, Erebus did not manage to finish his words, because Carmelita's cold gaze had already landed on him. Erebus suddenly came to a realization. No matter what, Wallace was already dead, and this matter could no longer be explained clearly. She and Andre seemed to be the ultimate victims.
Andre shook his head and sighed. The corners of his mouth curled up into a bitter smile. He muttered, "How dare he come? Even if we don't deal with him, Yarus won't let go of such a good opportunity. Besides, this is the Darkness Dominion. Big Brother's divine soul still has the Overgod's Mark. I wonder if the Overgod will sense it and blame us. "
After taking the position of City Lord, Andre's thoughts were much more complicated than Carmelita's. It wasn't just the enmity between the House of Sainte and Han Shuo. Looking at the bigger picture, Elysium wasn't at peace at the moment. It was extremely inappropriate for Han Shuo to come to the Darkness Dominion alone.
Carmelita's expression changed. She hesitated for a moment before she said to Erebus, "You should go take a look. If it's really him, drive him away!"
"I don't have the power to drive him away," Erebus shook his head with a bitter smile.
Carmelita was obviously anxious. She said, "We don't want to see him. He won't get any benefits in the Darkness Dominion. Drive him away!"
It was only then that Erebus realized something. He sized up Carmelita suspiciously and then looked at Andre. When he saw Andre secretly nod at him, Erebus' eyes lit up as though he understood something. He nodded and said, "If I really see him, I will drive him away."
After saying that, Erebus gave Carmelita and Andre a strange look before leaving without a word.
After Erebus left, Carmelita sighed and grumbled, "Why did he come back? Isn't he doing fine in the Fringe?"
After a moment of hesitation, Andre said softly, "He should be fine. He was able to walk out of the Darkness Dominion unscathed the last time, so he should be fine this time as well."

The streets of the City of Shadows were lined with shops.
After exiting the Sainte Residence, Aobashi strolled alone in the surrounding shops without saying a word. Those divine guards in the City of Shadows who recognized Aobashi hastily went to report to her as soon as they saw her. They thought that something bad had happened in the City.
Aobashi gestured for them to stay away from her. But after a few steps, she noticed that Erebus had also come out from the Sainte Residence and was happily following her.
"What's going on?" Aobashi shot a glance at Erebus and asked indifferently.
"It's nothing. I can see that Carmelita and Andre still treat him as a friend. It's just that due to Wallace's death, it's impossible for them to be as close as before." Erebus smiled as he recounted Carmelita and Andre's reactions.
Aobashi nodded and said nothing more after hearing his words. The two of them tacitly headed towards a secluded area.
It was none other than the ruins of the Celestial Pearl Pharmacy in the City of Shadows. For some unknown reason, even after the Han family had left the City of Shadows, this piece of land, which was worth an inch of gold, had been preserved. No shop had been able to purchase it from the House of Sainte.
Perhaps because it had been a long time since anyone had cleaned the place, it was a little dirty and dusty. But Aobashi and Erebus paid no attention to it and walked straight into it.
Everyone in the Darkness Dominion knew of Han Shuo's deeds. Even though the Han family had long left the City of Shadows, no one dared to destroy this place. Many experts in the City of Shadows held this place in awe. Even the patriarchs of the three major family clans had secretly instructed their disciples not to destroy any of the Han family's buildings in the City of Shadows.
The patriarchs of the three major family clans did not even treat the Sainte Family with such solemnity. This was a clear indication of how important Han Shuo was to them.
After Aobashi and Erebus entered the place, they suddenly discovered a person standing under a tall and dirty building. He was looking at them with a smile.
"Brian, it's been a while," Aobashi said in a subtle smile.
"Haha, it's really you. I knew my ears weren't that bad!" Erebus laughed heartily. He suddenly took a few steps forward and hugged Han Shuo. He only let go of Han Shuo after punching him three times with his iron fist. Soon after, he put on a solemn face and sized up Han Shuo. He asked, "What's wrong? Were you injured? Why is there such a long scar on your face? You can heal all of Carmelita's injuries, but can't you erase the scar on your face? "
The thin line that split Han Shuo in half was too conspicuous. Fortunately, Han Shuo was wearing clothes. Otherwise, Erebus and Aobashi would have noticed that the thin line glowed brightly and gave off intense fluctuations of spacetime.
"It's just a small wound. I'm fine, "Han Shuo smiled and did not elaborate on the matter. He looked at Erebus and Aobashi and softly sighed. He asked," Do they still hate me? "
Erebus and Aobashi were rather embarrassed. They did not know how to answer.
"I knew it would turn out this way. Haha, it's only natural that they don't forgive me. Many of my Han family's guards were killed because of Wallace. Wallace also wanted to kill me. If I didn't kill him, the Han family would never have a day of peace. I had no other choice! " Han Shuo sighed and forced a smile, "I came over this time just to see you guys. Since they don't want to see me, then forget it."
"Actually, it's not what you think. Andre and Carmelita are still your friends. They are very concerned about you. It's just that the entire city knows that you killed Wallace. If Andre and Carmelita are still in contact with you at this time, the entire House of Sainte will find them for revenge, "Erebus explained. "Even just now, they were still very worried that you would be in danger in the Darkness Dominion. They were afraid that Yarus and the others would come after you."
Erebus paused and looked up at the sky, as though he was worried about something.
Aobashi's expression slightly changed. She reprimanded, "Don't talk nonsense!" She knew that the Darkness Overgod possessed remarkable abilities and that some of her words could send Erebus into a state of eternal damnation.
"It's fine. Elysium may be vast, but there aren't many who would dare to touch me. Not to mention in the Dominions of Darkness, Death, and Destruction, "Han Shuo chuckled. With his current strength, there was really nothing to fear.
"Oh, you sure are confident!" Aobashi giggled and said, "You have grown up over the years. I heard that the entire Fringe is yours. You even killed Jarre, one of the three Guardians of the Light in the Dominion of God Of Light, right? I've been living in the City of Shadows for so long. How about I join you in the Fringe? "
"As long as you come to the Fringe, I will raise both hands in approval." Han Shuo, of course, knew that Aobashi was joking. She had lived in the City of Shadows for a long time and was indebted to Wallace. Even though Wallace was no longer around, she was still busy working for the House of Sainte. She had always wanted to repay Wallace's kindness.
"Cowardly?" Han Shuo stared blankly for a moment. He bunched his brows and said, "Given your strength in the City of Shadows, Erebus, and the House of Sainte, who would dare to go against you?"
"The situation has changed …" Erebus forced a smile and explained the current situation in the City of Shadows to Han Shuo.
After Erebus finished, Han Shuo nodded and said, "So that's how it is." Without saying much, Han Shuo took out a few items and handed them to Erebus and Aobashi. He smilingly said, "Take these. These are for the two of you. The rest are for Carmelita and Andre. They are …"
Back in the Fringe, Han Shuo had killed quite a number of highgods. Among them, quite a few were experts in late-stage highgod realm. Han Shuo had refined their divine souls into Orbs of Arcana that allowed him to fuse the essence of the energy contained within with his own soul.
Other than those two items, Han Shuo also gave Erebus and Aobashi some divine energy medicines that could help them achieve breakthroughs.
"These, these are too precious. Where did you get them?" Erebus' expression changed abruptly after hearing Han Shuo's explanation.
"Nothing precious. I have plenty of them." Ignoring Aobashi and Erebus' astonishment, Han Shuo said, "As for Carmelita and Andre, don't tell them that I gave them to them. I'm afraid that they won't accept them. The reason why Andre can't suppress those people is because he doesn't have enough strength. This is very important to him. "
Without giving Aobashi and Erebus a chance to refuse, Han Shuo laughed heartily and said, "It's not easy for us to meet again. Come, let's drink till we're drunk!"
As soon as he finished those words, fine wine and delicacies appeared in a miniature space in midair as though by magic. Han Shuo greeted the two, handed them wine, and drank to their heart's content.

While Andre was in the middle of dealing with the affairs of the City of Shadows, a divine guard suddenly appeared and knelt in front of Andre. He reported, "City Lord, the patriarchs of the Kinson, Kisa, and Buller Family Clans have sent representatives to us at the same time. They say that they are willing to accept our terms and conditions. They will integrate the forces of their family clans into the divine guards and be under our command."
"What?!" Andre was greatly astonished. "I have been trying for so long but the three family clans have been indifferent to me. Why did they suddenly agree to our conditions?"
"I don't know," the divine guard shook his head.
Andre was stunned. After a long while, he suddenly recalled something and softly mumbled, "Could it be …"
