Chapter 696: A Gifted Ugly (2/2)

Her strength, on the contrary, was astonishing. Even though she did not release any energy deliberately, she gave Han Shuo a sense of pressure as soon as she walked into the hall. This powerful aura should only be possessed by a highgod. Han Shuo secretly let off a strand of his consciousness to probe this woman’s strength. But before Han Shuo’s consciousness got close, her triangular eyes suddenly took aim at Han Shuo. Astonished, Han Shuo immediately pulled back his strand of consciousness.

“Oh, it’s Miss Carmelita. What brings Your Ladyship to the Third Corps?” Kayton who furiously roared just a moment ago immediately shriveled up his attitude as soon as he saw the ugly young lady. He even put on a smile and bowed humbly.

Anito, who was sent flying in reverse, hurriedly took a knee and said, “My apologies, Miss Carmelita. I did not know it was Your Ladyship,”

Carmelita! Han Shuo gave a careful look at that ugly lady as soon as he heard the name Kayton addressed her as. Right away, Han Shuo discovered a very small emblem on the left shoulder-piece of her skintight, purple-colored armor. The emblem had three triangles with three black holes that seemed to be absorbing every energy.

This design was unique to the Sainte Family, the most powerful family clan in the City of Shadows. Just like the dark sun of the Lavers Family, this emblem was exclusive to their family. After finding the emblem of three black holes, Han Shuo immediately knew that this lady was indeed the legendary, gifted lady of the Sainte Family - Carmelita.

It was said that Carmelita caught a strange disease when she was young which caused her to become uglier as she grew up. All attempts at treating the disease had failed. Although Carmelita was cursed with ugly looks, she was blessed with extraordinary talent on the cultivation of the energy of destruction, becoming a highgod in the short span of just three hundred years. Henceforth, she became an astonishing legend in the City of Shadows.

Perhaps because of her ugly appearance, Carmelita had an extremely strange temperament and was very hard to get along with. But since she possessed valiant strength, and her father was the patriarch of the Sainte Family, and since she was highly regarded by the Sainte Family, no one in the City of Shadows dared to mess with her. She was an exceedingly unique character in the City of Shadows.

“Where is Erebus? I’m looking for him!” Carmelita shot a glare at the divine guards with her triangular eyes before asking impatiently.

“His Lordship is still pursuing Brovst, one of the leaders of the godhunters. He will not be at the Third Corps for a while,” Kayton replied solemnly and respectfully.

“Goddamnit, he’s not around whenever I’m looking for him. He must be avoiding me!” Carmelita cursed loudly. When she was about to leave, she suddenly turned to Han Shuo and said in an amused manner, “Is it you who tried to observe me with your soul a moment ago? You are merely a lowgod but your soul energy is rather strange. I’m quite surprised that you managed to escape from my soul capturing. What is your name? What are you doing here?”

Han Shuo was astonished and did not anticipate that Carmelita was so powerful that she was able to detect the probing of his consciousness in an instant. He remarked to himself that highgod souls were indeed very mighty and that he had to be more cautious and less reckless the next time.

Before Han Shuo could open his mouth, Kayton described the whole story once through to Carmelita in a fawning manner, “His name is Bryan. He’s here to assist with our investigation. Here’s the story…”

“Bryan… Bryan… Hmm, this name sounds quite familiar. I think someone mentioned this name to me recently… Thats right! Donna! It was Donna! I remember it now, Donna told me about you!” Carmelita cried out softly and she started to size up Han Shuo with her pair of triangular eyes, causing Han Shuo’s hair to stand on end.

After a while, Carmelita’s eyes lit up as though she recalled something. She suddenly invited, “You come with me. I want your help for a task.”

“Huh? What would you need me for?” Han Shuo asked, stunned at the unexpected request.

“It doesn’t matter. You will find out by then!” Carmelita was a person who acted as she said. She grabbed Han Shuo and started pulling him towards the exit. She seemed to have long forgotten that she was a young lady.

“Your Ladyship, this person is still under investigation!” Kayton hastily said with a bitter smile when he saw Carmelita pulling Han Shuo away.

“It’s just a minor case. What is there to bother for that bit of spoils? Erase the case for me. Any problem?” Carmelita did not bother to look at Kayton when replying to him.

“Er, no, no problem!” Karton hastily replied.

After Carmelita left with Han Shuo, Kayton turned to Anito and said, “Well, stop looking into it and forget about it!”

Anito forced a smile and sighed, “Of course, I have no other choice. Why am I so unlucky!”
