Ossen city palace, to the west in a luxurious residence…

“Rest assured, the whole Empire is mine in the future, this small matter is nothing much!” Charles let out a perverted laugh. He took out an aphrodisiac pill, about to swallow it for another round of “battle”.
However, at that moment, a strange sound echoed in the room. Charles’ expression changed. He immediately put the pill away and quickly put on his pants, saying in a hurry, “I have an important matter to attend to, you must leave. Now!”
The beautiful woman hurriedly pulled up the dress pooling around her knees upon hearing this. She left through the side door without another word and disappeared in a blink of an eye.
The thin and tall duke Ashburn rushed in directly following the strange sound. He gave Charles a glance and said with displeasure, “I can’t believe you still have the heart to be licentious at this moment.”
“Sorry uncle, what happened?” Charles looked very humble in front of Ashburn. He bowed and honestly admitted his wrongdoings.
“Failure. Of the killers sent by Shadow Ghost, one was captured alive, the rest were slaughtered.” Ashburn said in a low tone, his face gloomy.
“How could that be? We investigated clearly earlier, even if those killers couldn’t kill him, they shouldn’t have ended up like that?” Charles was shocked, he couldn’t understand how Lawrence had done it.
Ashburn was in a bad mood. The Shadow Ghost had suffered a heavy loss and one killer had even been captured alive, which made him very worried. He said again in a gloomy manner, “Something unexpected happened. That meddling Bryan seems to played a major role, otherwise the situation wouldn’t have been so bad!”
“The boyfriend of the Boozt Merchant Guild master Phoebe? How could it be?! He’s but an adept mage, what could he do with that kind of power?” Charles could hardly believe it. He had met Han Shuo last time in the Rose Garden and felt that Han Shuo’s power wasn’t enough to be feared.
“This person isn’t simple. After Aubrey came back from the Boozt Merchant Guild, his body was hot one moment and cold the other, and it turned into a serious illness a few days later. Even Aubrey, with his power, fell victim to this person’s trap. Bryan definitely isn’t easy to deal with. It seemed we first have to get rid of this hindrance now that he’s appeared again.” Ashburn paced back and forth as he thought for a while before saying coldly.
“All will be as uncle says!” To Charles, this uncle was his important backing. Ashburn held a great deal of power and played a crucial role in Charles’ fight for the throne. Moreover, Charles didn’t dare not listen to Ashburn given their familial relationship.
Nodding his head, Ashburn said, “Phoebe’s master is the sacred swordmaster Karel Ascot. He came to visit me earlier. The old fellow hasn’t expressed if he supports Lawrence or not, so we temporarily shouldn’t make an enemy out of him. This old fellow knows very well that I also have some experts, so I can’t allow them to act because of Bryan’s intimate relationship with Phoebe. The Shadow Ghost is now severely damaged and may not be able to mobilize their men again in a short time. Only you can kill Bryan!”
“No problem. A while ago at the Brut Merchant Alliance, the great swordmaster Leah Cain offended the lightning sacred magus Reynold Dila. He took advantage of the chaos in the Brut Merchant Alliance to escape to the Empire and flocked to my banner. He’ll arrive in two days. No one knows about this yet, so he’s the perfect one to send out.”
“That maniac?” Ashburn was started, then nodded as he said with a sinister laugh, “Then I can be at ease!”
……
Phoebe’s room.
The sound of running water echoed from within. Phoebe’s clear, cheerful voice sweetly resounded, “Heh, are you comfortable?”
Gentle mist covered the whole room from a spacious bathtub, the water inside decorated with countless petals emitting a fresh fragrance. Han Shuo was wearing shorts as he lay on the edge of the bathtub. Phoebe had a thin veil draped over her body. She sat next to Han Shuo and leaned over to massage him, helping his muscles relax.
Han Shuo squinted his eyes as he lazily lay still. He said, somewhat disappointed, “Comfortable yes, just not in the way I imagined it. I thought you wanted me to join you in the tub and do something else!”
“Humph, I knew you’d have naughty thoughts. Giving you a massage is good enough! I haven’t ever given anyone a massage up until now, but you still aren’t content!” Phoebe had her hair up in a high bun, with a few strands naughtily falling on her shoulder. The thin veil couldn’t cover up her youthful air as her white jade skin revealed a natural rosiness.
