Chapter 2204 - Black-Moon King Visi (2/2)

The Shadow Queen Bee, upon seeing the Bai Sema disappear, flapped her wings to resume attacking Han Sen. She was much slower now, though.

Han Sen brought out his white Jade Drum and hit it. A very deep boom of sonic power ripped out of the Drum. It clipped the tired Shadow Queen Bee and brought her down.

The Duke Jade Drum’s sound shouldn’t have affected a mutant Duke like her very strongly, but she was too tired by this point, so she couldn’t withstand the force of that sonic shockwave.

The Shadow Queen Bee dragged herself off the floor, intent on going after Han Sen.

Han Sen was still holding the Jade Drum. He hit it another two times. The shockwaves made her roll and writhe around on the ground again. It looked as if she was in pain.

“If you listen to my commands, I will spare your life,” Han Sen told the Shadow Queen Bee that was now on the ground.

The Shadow Queen Bee lacked intelligence. When the Drum stopped, she tried to attack Han Sen again—the intruder that had invaded her space.

Han Sen didn’t know what to do except continue pounding the Jade Drum, which made her roll around on the ground over and over. Some of her bee blood began to pour from her mouth. But Han Sen didn’t want to kill her. Killing her would be pointless.

Seeing that the Shadow Queen Bee was about to die under his repeated torture, he decided to exit the hive.

A xenogeneic without proper brains had to be broken-in by slow torture over time.

Han Sen stationed people to keep an eye on that beehive. If the Queen Bee made bees, they would go and kill them. That would teach her a lesson. They hoped that after a while, she might actually listen to Han Sen and obey his commands.

“We will never be safe for as long as Night River King exists,” Han Sen thought grimly. He considered how he might dispose of Night River King.

With the current limits of his power, Han Sen couldn’t go after Night River King just yet. He needed to become a Duke, and he needed to own a lot more treasures.

It would have been best if he could use the Blood Scorpion Jade Drum. That would be the only weapon he’d need to take down someone that was a higher level than he was.

But even if he was able to kill Night River King, he wouldn’t be able to do it while he was in Narrow Moon. If they fought, the Rebate would rally behind Night River King. An outsider would never earn their favor.

“It looks like I need to become a Duke quickly and find a way to take him out elsewhere.” Han Sen calmed himself down and tried to think things through rationally.

Allowing his anger to make him rush wouldn’t solve anything. If anything, it would just reveal weaknesses for his enemies to exploit. He needed to be calm if he was going to do this.

“Night River King, I am going to kill you.” Han Sen kept practicing. The first and fifteenth day of each month, he went to Cold Palace to absorb moon and cold powers, hastening his ascension to the rank of Duke.

Han Sen dropped his blood onto the Blood Scorpion Jade Drum every day, too, slowly letting his essence sink into it. He wanted his blood to become one with the scorpion. Han Sen felt that he was slowly building a connection with the Blood Scorpion Jade Drum. Claiming it would only be a matter of time.

One day, Black-Moon King dropped in on Han Sen unexpectedly. “Han Sen, the Extreme King will be hiring knights from Narrow Moon. Are you interested in going?”

“Extreme King recruits elites. I don’t think they’d want a small Marquise like me,” Han Sen answered, confused. He thought they were only interested in elites like Yisha. That would require him to be at least a King.

“The Extreme King will only grow and care for future elites that are showing great potential. We have a good relationship with them. When the Extreme King hire knights, they offer a few slots to us. If you would like to join them, I can get you in,” Black-Moon King said.
