Chapter 630: Petty Thief (1/2)

GDK 630: Petty Thief

All this took place in just the fraction of a second. Belinda and Edwin didn’t even realize what was happening until it was well over. All they saw was that the six-horned tribal king was suddenly pinned down by Han Shuo and unable to move a muscle!

After letting go of the tribal king, Han Shuo calmly looked at the tribal king still nailed to the wall and maintaining the same posture. Strange lights were flickering from the six-horned tribal king’s eyes. He looked to be in deep thought.

“Lord Bryan, this is our honored guest!” Edwin suddenly came to his senses and stuttered to Han Shuo.

Belinda looked deeply and attentively at Han Shuo with complicated emotions in her eyes. Her heart was filled with bitterness as she came to witness just how different Han Shuo had become. When this six-horned tribal king of the Soul Race caused havoc to the Calamity Church headquarters five years ago, Belinda just so happened to be there. She had witnessed with her very own eyes the scene in which this six-horned tribal king stood high and tall even as he faced the Pope and several other cardinals. She was very clear as to just how mighty this six-horned tribal king was.

However, it was precisely this very same alien race expert who was being held down by Han Shuo so suddenly. Furthermore, this alien expert had even calmly admitted to the fact that he was inferior to Han Shuo. Belinda was appalled.

It had merely been a dozen or so years. How could this person become so inconceivably mighty?

Belinda felt even more fearful the more she thought about it. She was further humbled for the fear she might do something inappropriate and cause Han Shuo’s displeasure.

“Honored guest?” Han Shuo looked at the six-horned tribal king smilingly, kept silent for a moment, and nodded as he said, “That makes sense. You wouldn’t be here unless you have built a relationship with the church.”

The six-horned tribal king maintained a pondering posture for a long time before turning his gaze on Han Shuo again and asked him in that slightly inarticulate voice, “You, how did you get so powerful so quickly? Why do you have three souls?”

Han Shuo was shocked. He also appeared rather surprised as he asked, “How did you know I have three souls?”

The two souls of Han Shuo’s avatars were stored inside Han Shuo’s body. Supposedly, when his avatars were still inside his body, no one was able to detect their presences. However, it only took this six-horned tribal king a moment of careful observation before he managed to discern that Han Shuo had three souls living as one. He could not believe it!

“People of my race are born with remarkable sensitivity towards the soul. The reason that I could sense your position anywhere on the continent back then was thanks to this unique ability,” the six-horned tribal king kept silent for a moment before he looked coldly at Han Shuo and replied.

The two five-horned aliens of the Soul Race standing behind Han Shuo constantly sent meaningful glances at their tribal king. They seemed to be suggesting that the three of them join forces and attack Han Shuo.

“No need for that. We cannot harm him even if we cooperate!” The six-horned tribal king obviously understood what his two subordinates were hinting at and coldly said to the two. The two penta-horned aliens with eager faces immediately stopped making signals with their eyes and revealed looks of disappointment and helplessness.

“Don’t you try anything stupid. No matter what the agreement you may have reached with the Church, it will pose me no issue to kill you all!” Han Shuo may have looked relaxed but his tone alone could kill. He then glanced at the anxious-looking Edwin and smilingly said, “As long as they behave themselves and answer a few of my questions, I wouldn’t do a thing to them!”

“My Lord, this, this… “ Edwin didn’t know what to do. He was terrified to offend Han Shuo. But at the same time, the six-horned tribal king was an honored guest and could not be neglected either. Han Shuo was very infamous on Profound Continent for his atrocities. Given his identity, the Pope would definitely not put the blame on him. However, a grand magus as puny as himself would likely have to suffer the consequences if anything bad happened. He had every reason to be worried.

“If I say it’s alright then it’s alright!” Han Shuo stiffened up when Edwin reacted so faint-heartedly. He coldly instructed, “Just stand and watch from the side, I don’t need any of your advice!”

Edwin and Belinda who were about to give words of persuasion were simultaneously startled when they saw Han Shuo suddenly grow cold. They felt as though they could lose their lives at any moment and so they immediately shut their mouths tight and tactfully said not another word.

“Okay. We can have a proper talk now,” Han Shuo smiled at the six-horned tribal king and walked to the wide open iron door composedly. As though he was walking into his own home, Han Shuo showed not the slightest reservation.
