GDK 536: Preferential Treatment
In the Abyss realm, might was always right. When Crosius sensed the basegod strength aura exhibited by Han Shuo, all feelings of annoyance at Han Shuo for his tardiness were completely vacuumed away. His immediate expression of his stance had amply proven that Crosius’ place as master of War Demon Valley wasn’t solely a result of his outstanding strength!
The meeting hall remained in pin-drop silence even after Crosius uttered his last words. Every gaze from the six Rakshas and five visiting advisors was potent with appall. Of those, the feeling of dispiritment from powerlessness was obvious from the eyes of Brakyah. He was silently sighing in disappointment when he thought that he might not even have the opportunity to exact his revenge on Han Shuo.
Jasper the beauty, meanwhile, suddenly stopped her rapid scribbling and gazed at Han Shuo with glimmering eyes. She was pleasantly surprised.
In the realm of the Abyss, as long as one harbored great strength, gaining anyone’s respect was no task, not even an enemy’s!
Han Shuo had long clearly understood this law of the Abyss realm, hence he decided to do a little experiment on that chief of visiting advisors. Who knew that there would be such a sudden change and world of difference in Crosius’ attitude towards Han Shuo.
With a calm, unruffled smile on his face, Han Shuo unhurriedly claimed his spot on the seat of the chief of visiting advisors. Just as he was about to open his mouth for a few words, the hermaphrodite creature, who sat opposite Han Shuo with its female side eyeing Han Shuo bitterly, said in a tone as though having been wronged, “Happy now? You can have the chief of visiting advisors’ seat from me… Hehe, a powerful man like you is very attractive to me…”
Goosebumps exploded on every inch of Han Shuo’s skin like land mines. Before he could reply, he seemed to recall something and immediately stood to his feet.
Crosius thought that Han Shuo was upset, and hastily asked, “Mister Han Shuo, is there something about the War Demon Valley not up to your satisfaction? No worries, when the meeting is over, I will arrange an expansive and secluded space for your residence, in addition to providing you with beauties of all races. I can guarantee your total satisfaction.”
Han Shuo was stunned but soon after, he replied, all smiles, “In that case, many thanks to your Lordship,” He then lowered his head and looked at the chair that the hermaphrodite had previously occupied, revealing a look of antipathy, and said, “Erm, please replace this chair with another one.”
“Mister Han Shuo, you, you are such an unlikeable person. Me hate you. Hmph…,” the two-faced being denounced Han Shuo in humiliation and anger.
When Crosius saw the unsightly look on Han Shuo’s face, finding it somewhat laughable, he tried to hold back a cough before saying, “Alright alright, Brayshaw, stop provoking Mister Han Shuo!”
Brayshaw, the hermaphrodite, again revealed a bitter expression and resentfully looked at Han Shuo in silence. It was seemingly using its disgusting eyes to make reprisals for Han Shuo’s threatening display of might.
“Nambrough, come in and get Mister Han Shuo a new chair!” Nambrough ran into the hall as fast as he could and had replaced the chair in no time. However, he became noticeably startled when he saw where Han Shuo was standing.
Nambrough stared blankly for a moment before snapping out of it at Crosius’ hastening glances. Afterwards, when he was respectfully retreating himself, Crosius suddenly said in a calm voice, “Nambrough, I will no longer look into the matter about Shero regiment from three days ago.”
Nambrough was stunned for a moment. Shortly after, he hastily turned around and kowtowed. With his head touching the ground, he said, “Thank you Lord Crosius!”
When he raised his head, he took a glimpse at Crosius before revealing a pair of grateful eyes towards Han Shuo. He then respectfully backed out from the meeting hall. He understood in his heart the reason that Crosius decided not to look into the incident, was certainly owing to Han Shuo.
Han Shuo wasn’t quite clear about the rules in this War Demon Valley. Therefore, he found it rather strange when Nambrough looked at him so gratefully after he sat down. However, he did not dwell on it any further. When he was about to ask Crosius what they had been discussing, he again saw that disgusting gaze from that bitter Brayshaw sitting opposite. At once, Han Shuo shouted as he glared at Brayshaw, “Look at me like that one more time, and I will finish you right away!”
Brayshaw was alarmed, her ‘lovable’ expression suddenly changed, and her eyes immediately turned to Crosius. She no longer dared to look at Han Shuo for the fear that Han Shuo might suddenly attack and get rid of her right inside that meeting hall. Brayshaw had been in War Demon Valley for some time, and was very clear how much Crosius valued a mighty expert. An expert of Demon strength was definitely incomparable to an expert in the realm of Raksha like herself.
