Chapter 535: A Rule Specially for You (2/2)

The seat next to Crosius was occupied by the head of the six Rakshas of War Demon Valley, Qunoa. In the five seats after him were demigod experts wearing the decoration of Raksha. That level-two Raksha that Han Shuo had taught a fierce lesson, Brakyah, was among the five.

Next to the six Rakshas was seating for the visiting advisors. Han Shuo had never met these visiting advisors before. Who knew where in the world they came from. There were five visiting advisors in total. Of those, three possessed demigod strength, and the other two were slightly weaker. They must have been summoned here to aid the crisis.

These five visiting advisors resided in a different place than the area that Han Shuo resided in. They seemed to receive slightly higher treatment. From the way that Crosius looked at them, Han Shuo could tell that he attached great importance to these five visiting advisors.

Once Han Shuo made an appearance, all the eyes in the hall turned and cast on him. Qunoa forced a smile at Han Shuo as a gesture of greeting. Even Brakyah nodded at Han Shuo with a faint smile. However, his eyes carried the overtone of taking joy in Han Shuo’s misfortune, seemingly ready to watch Han Shuo be roasted.

Other experts of the War Demon Valley that were meeting Han Shuo for the first time all revealed expressions of amazement and astonishment. Who knew what impressions they were making as they secretly observed Han Shuo.

At a corner far away was Crosius’ daughter, Jasper, standing straight atop her slender legs. She was writing on the slab of documents she held in her hand. When she saw Han Shuo entering the hall, she snuck a few glances at him, indicating to him to be careful, before burying her head down and continuing to write.

Han Shuo learned from Hemanna that Jasper had been acting as a recorder all the while. She would attend every meeting of great significance to War Demon Valley by using this role she played. However, as the Abyss realm was a place where the mighty were honored, although she was Crosius’ daughter and had a reasonable excuse to stay in the meeting room, she could only record from a distance away, and was not even given a seat.

To be fair, to have been standing in this room with an insufficient level of strength itself could already be considered as having taken a ride on her father’s coattails. She simply did not have the qualifications to sit!

Right ahead, Crosius was looking at Han Shuo with a somewhat cold expression. In a displeased tone, he said, “I had asked Brakyah to inform you of the meeting ahead of time in addition to dispatching people to invite you before it started. Who knew Mister Han Shuo could so disdainful to only join us just as our meeting was to adjourn!”

Han Shuo actually felt a slight trace of embarrassment. After all, Crosius truly had acted fairly and given adequate reminders. His tardiness combined with that arrogance displayed when he first met Crosius obviously had left Crosius with a totally dissatisfactory impression.

The Abyss realm was a place where the mighty were respected, including the rules they set. Despite the insolence Han Shuo displayed in their first ever encounter, Crosius could still make an exception and let him off. But this time, Crosius had notified Han Shuo ahead of time, twice, and yet Han Shuo was late in the end. From this perspective, Han Shuo was just intentionally breaking the rules. This wasn’t something that Crosius could forgive.

“Mister Han Shuo, as a visiting advisor to War Demon Valley, you should learn to play by our rules. Lord Crosius has treated you well. Screwing up at a critical moment isn’t something that a visiting advisor should do. Oh right, I almost forgot to tell you, I’m the chief of visiting advisors to War Demon Valley. In the future, you will answer to me. Understood?” said an alien with two faces and four arms to Han Shuo in a mystifying voice.

It looked like a conjoined twin. It appeared from the front like a tall and sturdy man, while on the back of the head was the face of an enchanting woman, with all the characteristics of a female, including a pair of tall twin peaks. When it spoke, there were two voices, male and female, talking in unison, giving any listener inexplicable goosebumps and discomfort.

It had the greatest strength among the visiting advisors. Its strength wouldn’t pale in comparison with the second-in-command of War Demon Valley, Qunoa. As it spoke, it would twist its body and neck to allow both the male and female faces on its head to look at Han Shuo. It was a beast.

“My apologies, I was just off the boat, and haven’t quite adapted to the time in Abyss realm yet. I wasn’t careful and accidentally forgotten the time during cultivation,” Han Shuo only looked at Crosius and explained as though it was no big deal. As he spoke, he walked towards the oval table as though he had not heard the words of the chief of visiting advisors.

“Fine. I will let this pass. You have just become a visiting advisor to War Demon Valley and might not be clear about the rules of my Valley. I will forget about it this time. But the next time this happens, I won’t be so kind,” Crosius looked deeply at Han Shuo and let out a gentle groan. He did not hand any punishment to Han Shuo at this critical moment. But if it was in ordinary times, this master of War Demon Valley, who had gained his seat through bloodshed, definitely wouldn’t be so forgiving and merciful.

“Thanks!” Han Shuo casually replied. As he walked to the table to get himself a seat, he looked at the seat of the meanest status and deeply creased his brows. Then, a thought seemed to have ran through his mind and he revealed a faint smile of satisfaction. He walked to the chief of visiting advisors that had male and female faces on the same head, and said, “Hey cuntboy, get off my seat!”

The few Rakshas and a few other visiting advisors that were softly discussing why Crosius’ temper had taken a 180-degree turn this time stopped talking as soon as Han Shuo spoke. The grand hall suddenly heard pin-drop silence.

“What… what did you say?” the chief of visiting advisors were somewhat stunned. The male face facing Han Shuo revealed an expression of astonishment.

“You cuntboy, get off my seat. Do you not understand my words?” When he finished, Han Shuo’s gently placed his left hand on the shoulder of this chief of visiting advisors. The aura of destruction that came from the Demonslayer Edge instantly overflowed to his body. Every expert in the meeting hall immediately sensed a destructive, ruthless, and terrifying sinister energy.

The soul within the Demonslayer Edge possessed the strength of a lowgod. However, Han Shuo had not fully revealed his true strength. At first, he released the aura of a demigod and gradually raised the strength. When the aura released approached that of a basegod, the chief of visiting advisors could no longer bear the overwhelming pressure. It stood up shuddering. In a squeaky, quivering tone, as though he had been at fault, the creature said, “It’s, it’s just a seat… no need to be so fierce with me… you scared me…”

This time, only the female talked. The mouth on the male’s face was completely shut. However, the face of the male had the odd expression of a bashful, dainty, and delicate girl.

The strangeness of this chief of visiting advisors gave Han Shuo a chill down his spine. He sat on the seat that he had just forcibly taken as he blankly looked at the bewitching woman on the back of that alien. Somehow, he was left between laughter and tears.

“Mister Han Shuo, from today onwards, you are allowed to be late to any meeting. This is a new rule of War Demon Valley, specially set for you!” Crosius said decisively as he looked at Han Shuo with a pleasantly surprised expression.
