Chapter 706: Becoming rich (2/2)

Anito beat his chest and pledged after receiving Han Shuo’s crystal coins, “Rest assured, I will get everything sorted for you nice and clean!”

“Alright then, I will leave this mess to you. See you soon.” Han Shuo was confident that Anito would get the place fixed properly and so he left the Celestial Pearl Pharmacy.

Han Shuo had offended no more than a few people in the City of Shadows. If it wasn’t Edmund, it had to be Cage and Eve. When Han Shuo thought of these two, he became even more furious. He thought to himself, If it wasn’t for me, Eve would have been disfigured. So this is how you thank me? By wrecking my shop while I’m away? Have I become a target of bullying for you?

Han Shuo decided to make a visit to the Lavers Residence.

The divine guards guarding at the front door of the Lavers Residence still remembered Han Shuo. His rising fame in the City of Shadows was the topic of discussion for many House of Lavers members. The two recognized Han Shuo immediately and greeted him from far away. They were very friendly.

“Haha, I did not know that you, sir, were an amazing pharmacist. Everyone in the city has been fighting over your medicines!” that divine guard who had previously introduced Han Shuo to the Lavers Family members said excitedly.

“As a gesture of gratitude for the warning you gave me the last time, here is a small bottle of medicine,” Han Shuo naturally remembered the two cordial divine guards and gifted them two bottles of his Pill of Rejuvenation.

“Many thanks, many thanks,” the smiles on their faces grew even bigger. They knew just how much a Pill of Rejuvenation currently valued in the City of Shadows. Just one small bottle of it was equivalent to three years of their salaries. It would be strange if they were anything but overjoyed!

“Are you here to look for Miss Donna? That’s unfortunate. Miss Donna has set off for the Space Dominion. She definitely will not return for at least a year!” a divine guard explained to Han Shuo somewhat regretfully after carefully keeping away Han Shuo’s Pill of Rejuvenation.

Han Shuo did not know that during the time he was collecting medicinal ingredients in the surrounding mountains, Donna had tried to look for him at Celestial Pearl Pharmacy. She wanted to ask Han Shuo about what actually happened to Eve and to stay in touch with him. She also intended to purchase some medicines on behalf of the House of Lavers.

“Oh… Donna isn’t around…” Han Shuo began to hesitate, wondering if he should still enter. After all, of the entire Lavers Family, Donna was the only person that Han Shuo was familiar with.

“Hey… Isn’t this Bryan? Why are you just standing at the front door? Come, come, let’s go inside,” a voice sounded from a distance at the most untimely moment. In an instant, Teng Fei arrived before Han Shuo and pulled him into the Lavers Residence as though he had been friends with Han Shuo for a long time.

Han Shuo was being forced into the Lavers Residence by Teng Fei. Having missed the opportunity to leave, he had to put on a bold face and enter.

“Donna and her brother went to the Space Dominion and will only be back after some time. Donna and I have actually tried to look for you but you weren't at the Celestial Pearl Pharmacy…” Teng Fei explained while escorting Han Shuo to that gymnasium where they first met.

“Since Donna isn’t around, I guess I’ll leave. I have come here just to look for her. I’m not familiar with any member of the Lavers Family other than Donna. I had better not stay here any longer,” Han Shuo suddenly stopped walking and no longer let Teng Fei pull him any further.

“Come on, you are already here, might as well stay and chat with me. My stay in this Lavers Residence has recently become more and more unpleasant. That brother and sister pair, well they aren’t exactly people who accomplish things. I just can’t get along with them!” ever since the time Teng Fei decided to buy Han Shuo’s medicine, his relationship with Cage and Eve began to grow ever less harmonious. As Teng Fei actually secretly looked down upon the two, he naturally did not put effort into easing the tension. In fact, he even used this opportunity to distance himself from the siblings and was determined to improve his relationship with Han Shuo and Donna.

Teng Fei, who was talking and talking, suddenly froze. When he raised his head, he saw Cage and Eve’s angry faces that were dripping with sweat. Their eyes were filled with resentment and fury as they glared at Teng Fei and Han Shuo.

“How dare you step into our Lavers Residence!” Eve shouted. Anger boiled to her head as soon as she saw Han Shuo.

Eve’s undiscriminating attitude made Han Shuo even more furious. “I came here to look for Donna and it’s none of your goddamn business!” There was no way he would be polite to this brainless woman.

“I haven’t settled the score with you for beating me the last time and you still have the guts to bring trouble to our Lavers Residence? You are courting death, aren’t you?” Eve shouted furiously.

“I’m not going to bicker with a mentally-handicapped person. Forget about it, it appears that this House of Lavers is indeed not welcoming of me. I’m leaving,” Han Shuo waved his hand and turned around to leave. He felt that it was meaningless to argue with this kind of people, notwithstanding the fact that doing so inside the Lavers Residence was disadvantageous to him.

“Since when could a mere lowgod who just so happens to know how to make a few drugs act so arrogantly in the City of Shadows? Pfft, serves you right that your shop got wrecked. That’s what you get for not knowing your place! Hahaha…” Cage said as he cackled in an invigorated manner.

Han Shuo who was walking out the Lavers Residence immediately stopped in his footsteps when he heard Cage’s words. He stared at the belly laughing Cage with cold eyes and asked, “Is it you who did it?”

Cage was startled for a moment before he sneered, “None of your business... Who cares if I did it or not, you deserve it!”

Han Shuo nodded and walked out without speaking another word, ignoring Teng Fei’s yelling.

On that night, three energy crystal shops nominally owned by Avery Lavers, but in reality managed by Cage and Eve, exploded. A total of seven divine guards of the House of Lavers were injured and energy crystals valued at thirty thousand black crystal coins were destroyed in the explosions.

On the early morning of the second day, Cage was enraged by the news. He was jumping up and down, fuming. “It’s him, it must be him! I’m going to get him!” Upon finishing those words, Cage, without informing his father Avery, took a group of divine guards under his command and headed straight for Celestial Pearl Pharmacy.
