Chapter 775: Two Heads (1/2)

GDK 775: Two Heads

Han Shuo took five days to reassemble the Eight Desolation and Torment Formation. It was installed underneath the largest gymnasium in the Han Residence. He had also installed six energy towers that power the nine layers of boundaries he deployed around the Formation to conceal the intense murderous aura emanating from the Formation.

The Formation was placed underground and very well concealed. Only the members of the Han Family who knew of the secret could find their way there. Even outsiders who were permitted to travel freely in the Han Residence will never be able to locate the secret entrance.

After Han Shuo finished setting up the Formation, his family clan members entered it impatiently. Even Sanguis, Bollands, and Gilbert went inside to further temper themselves after being encouraged by Han Shuo. The new Formation was controlled by Cauldron Spirit. It split the Formation into multiple segments of different power levels to personalize their training.

As Han Shuo wasn’t concerned about his safety in the City of Shadows, he temporarily left the Cauldron of Myriad Demon in the Formation, allowing the Cauldron to temper his family clan members.

After Rose arrived at the Han Residence, she was allocated a remote and secluded building. Rose was quiet and stayed in her building all the time. Han Shuo wasn’t worried that someone might recognize her.

Messengers from the House of Sainte had come by every day since his return to the City, asking for Han Shuo. After having reconstructed the Eight Desolation and Torment Formation, Han Shuo went to the Sainte Residence. As the competition between the Seven Corps was right around the corner, Wallace did not force Carmelita to cultivate. The first thing Han Shuo did after arriving at the Sainte Residence was to look for Carmelita and listen to her grumbling about being bored.

When Han Shuo was asked about what he had been up to in recent times, Han Shuo lied and said that he had been manning Fort Lasberg. He mentioned nothing about Hushveil City to Carmelita.

Naturally, Carmelita had heard all about the major incident at Hushveil City. She clearly did not suspect that Han Shuo had anything to do with it. She even discussed the incident with Han Shuo excitedly and declared her admiration of the mysterious attackers who wreaked havoc in Hushveil City.

Han Shuo felt a little odd to have Carmelita singing praises of himself right before him. After some chit-chatting with Carmelita, Han Shuo finally went to Andre.

“The competition between the Seven Corps is coming soon. Since you are participating, make sure to do the proper preparations,” said Andre straightforwardly after having Han Shuo take a seat. His eyes, however, were looking deeply at Han Shuo. He tried probing, “Where have you been recently?”

“I have been overseeing the daily operations at Fort Lasberg. Haha, now that Fort Lasberg is under the control of my House of Han, it is my duty to manage it well,” replied Han Shuo calmly. Han Shuo knew from Andre’s inquisitive gaze that he was suspicious of him. His and Rose’s actions in Hushveil City had been too conspicuous and he knew he wouldn’t be able to hide it for too long. Han Shuo was still hesitating if he should reveal his deeds to Andre.

“Bryan, have you heard about what recently happened in Hushveil City?” Andre looked at Han Shuo attentively. He suddenly put on a warm smile and said, “For some reason, I always feel that the incident in Hushveil City has something to do with you. Others, including my elder brother, do not think that you are capable of such things. But I feel that you can.”

Han Shuo was shocked. However, the expression on his face remained as calm as always. He replied, “Lord Andre, you sure think highly of me.”

Andre’s irises constricted. He nodded and replied, “Yes, I definitely do! For all these years, my assessment of people has always been very accurate. However, even after having interacted with you for such a long time, I have failed to discover that you had been hiding your strength. If it wasn’t for your assault on Portlem back in the banquet hall, perhaps I would remain clueless to the fact that you actually possess highgod strength even till now!”

After a short pause, while Han Shuo bunched his brows in thought, Andre continued, “In all my life, you are the only person who managed to fool my senses. Therefore, yes, I indeed think very highly of you!” Andre then kept silent for a few seconds. He looked deeply at Han Shuo and softly asked, “Bryan, can you please tell me honestly, are you the one behind the Hushveil City incident? If it is you, there are certain measures that our City must take to guard against the repercussions!”

Han Shuo looked at Andre in a daze. He could feel that Andre was sincere and could tell that he had no malice intension. The interests of Andre’s House of Sainte and Han Shuo’s House of Han were consistent and aligned. Avery and Hassling that he murdered were both enemies of the House of Sainte. Han Shuo could not see why the House of Sainte would not defend him for his actions. On top of that, Han Shuo knew that it was only a matter of time before someone will figure out that he was behind the havoc in Hushveil City.

Han Shuo realized that there was no reason to conceal the truth from Andre. He cracked a smile but did not say a word. Then, he took out two glass containers from his space ring.

They contained Avery and Hassling’s heads!

With just one look at the content of the glass containers, without needing Han Shuo to speak a word, Andre was certain that Han Shuo was behind the terrible attack on Hushveil City. Although Andre had tried preparing himself mentally, when he saw the heads of Avery and Hassling took out by Han Shuo, he was nonetheless astonished.

Andre took a deep breath. His voice was a little different than usual. He said, “It’s you! It actually is you! Good gracious, how unbelievable!”
