Chapter 180: Complete chaos
Everything was proceeding according to plan. Lawrence had first made arrangements to alter the protective detail from the Gryphon Legion. Emily then used the power of the Dark Mantle to restrain three out of five great earth riders by Bob Ascher’s side.
Belinda and Johnny from the Calamity Church walked in and out of the crowd for a bit before disappearing without a trace. Belinda nodded at Han Shuo and Emily from afar, indicating that she had made her preparations.
“Let’s go. Be careful and let’s head for the secret room.” Seeing that they had done all that needed to be done, Han Shuo didn’t continue to linger, but avoided the guests and made his way to Bob Ascher’s bedroom.
There would’ve been a heavy guard along the way, but Lawrence’s man had made arrangements beforehand, so the three of them had an easy stroll down.
When the three of them paused behind an artificial mountain and peered at Bob Ascher’s room, they discovered many Gryphon Legion soldiers standing in front of the door.
Each had solemn expressions, and the faint scent of those who had weathered multiple battlefields emanated from their tall, well built bodies. It was easy to tell from a glance that they wouldn’t be easy to handle.
“Lawrence said that the soldiers around Bob Ascher were all his most trusted men and have overcome many battles and skirmishes with him. All of them are unafraid of death and won’t listen to anyone else’s commands apart from Bob Ascher himself. Therefore, Lawrence’s man had no way to do anything about them either.” Han Shuo glanced at those men and explained lowly to Emily.
Emily nodded, “Mm, the Dark Mantle knows of this as well. We must personally take out this group of people ourselves, or we’ll be unable to enter at all.”
Soldiers were standing on top of the roof and at every window. Unless they could fly through the dirt, even with Han Shuo and Emily’s extreme abilities, they would find it impossible to avoid these people’s eyes.
“Alright, we’ll wait for a bit. The entire manor will be engulfed in chaos as soon as the Calamity Church makes their move, regardless of their success.” Han Shuo thought for a moment and then responded to Emily.
“Honored master, what should I do in a moment?” Gilbert’s face was filled with excitement as he looked towards Han Shuo.
“Master?” Emily asked in astonishment and looked at Han Shuo with considerable confusion. She then looked at Gilbert, “How can he be your master? Did he buy you as a slave?”
Looking at Emily with immense disdain, Gilbert said proudly, “A brainless bimbo alright. As a legendary dark dragon of the mighty Dark Dragon City, I, Gilbert, would never become a slave!”
“Dark… Dark Dragon City? You say you’re from the Dark Dragon City beneath the ground?” Emily was greatly taken aback.
“Haha, you’ve heard of our great name as well?” Gilbert was quite happy to see that Emily seemed to know of the Dark Dragon City. He puffed his chest out and said solemnly, “Indeed, I am the future legend of the Dark Dragon City.”
“Mm, he’s not my slave, but more like my magical pet.” Han Shuo smiled faintly at the flabbergasted Emily.
Gilbert immediately deflated when those words were said. As a dark dragon, it wasn’t an honorable thing to be someone’s pet. But that was the truth, and there wasn’t much he could refute. He could only hang his head and sigh, “So darned unlucky that I was besieged by so many people the first time I left home. How would I have been afraid of you otherwise?!”
Emily had been a bit disbelieving, and the shock on her face only deepened when she heard Han Shuo and Gilbert speak thus. Her bright eyes fixed upon Han Shuo as she asked shakily, “He, he really is a dark dragon?”
Nodding, Han Shuo confirmed very firmly for her, “Absolutely. This stupid dragon was being attacked on all sides from a dark elf clan, and they paid a heavy price to wound him deeply. I was going to take advantage of it and harvest his core or something, but he was the one without the slightest bit of dark dragon dignity and shamelessly wanted to sign a master and servant contract with me, becoming my magical pet!”
“Hehe, dark dragons are the most shameless and evil of all dragons, what kind of dignity do they have?” Emily was delighted by Han Shuo’s explanation and looked at the dejected Gilbert, chuckling with sarcasm.
“Beautiful women can sometimes be so hateful!” Gilbert was thoroughly incensed as he glared at Emily and spoke with gritted teeth.
A shrill scream sounded out at this moment as all sorts of panicked footsteps suddenly exploded into hearing. The sounds of horses screaming were mixed in, as well as all sorts of weapons clanging against each other.
“The Calamity Church has made their move, but we still don’t know anything as of now. Why does the Calamity Church want Bob Ascher dead? Just what kind of grudge exists between them?” Joy blossomed over Emily’s face as she said excitedly.
Han Shuo chuckled coldly with a sinister face, “According to my thinking, it doesn’t matter whether or not the Calamity Church succeeds this time. Johnny and Belinda will be grievously hurt, if not dead. We’ll capture them as well and slowly interrogate them.”
“Master, you’re too ruthless and despicable!” Gilbert couldn’t help but cry out with excitement when he saw that Han Shuo was ready to move against his allies
“Gilbert, are you mocking me?” Han Shuo’s brow creased as he flicked a frosty glance at Gilbert.
