Chapter 783: Preparing for a rainy day (2/2)
Rose looked at Han Shuo with baffled gazes. She asked puzzlingly, “Why are you suddenly asking me this?”
The House of Han current possessed plenty of crystal coins while Han Shuo’s influence in the City of Shadows was rapidly expanding. Once the Fifth Corps obtained victory in the competition between the Seven Corps, Han Shuo believed that a large number of midgods will swarm to his House of Han and Fifth Corps, begging to be his divine guards. Han Shuo will not be lacking gods of that class.
In the House of Han, other than Han Shuo and Rose, there wasn’t another highgod. The most significant factor that determined the strength of a family clan was in the number of highgods in the family clan. As to raise the strength of his House of Han as quickly as possible, he must attempt to recruit highgods.
Before that day, Han Shuo had no plan to improve the strength of his House of Han so hurriedly because he knew that once his family clan becomes too powerful, they could possibly conflict with the interests of the House of Sainte. The current ruler of the City of Shadows was the House of Sainte. Once the House of Han grew to have enough power to threaten the House of Sainte, Han Shuo was certain that his relationship with the House of Sainte will not be as harmonious as it was now.
However, the threat from the House of Broadhurst was just too great. Han Shuo must try to decrease the gap of strength between his family clan and the House of Broadhurst as rapidly as possible. He had no time to care about the House of Sainte’s feelings.
“You have lived on Elysium for many years. Surely, you would know plenty of highgods that live in solitude as you did, right? Tell me everyone you know, both friends and foes. I want to communicate with them!”
“What exactly are you planning to do?” Rose became even more puzzled. She couldn’t tell Han Shuo’s intention.
“The House of Han is too weak. I want to raise its strength as rapidly as possible!” replied Han Shuo.
After hesitating for a moment, Rose replied, “I know a place where there are many experts. It is very chaotic. There are highgod and even overgod experts. If you are looking for highgods who have yet to join any family clan, that will be the best place. However, it is very dangerous!”
“Where is it?” asked Han Shuo hastily. He was elated.
“It’s the Fringe - the Land of Chaos!” Rose answered and explained, “It is situated between the Space Dominion and the Destiny Dominion. It doesn’t belong to any of the Twelve Dominions and it is not governed by any of the Twelve Overgods. The Space and Destiny Dominions prohibits their gods from entering the Fringe. It is without a doubt the most chaotic and the most lawless place on Elysium. In that Land, the one with the biggest fist makes the rules. I used to live in the Fringe for a period of time and was nearly killed multiple times. After brushing with death multiple times, I decided to leave that place. I came to live in the Darkness Dominion as I’m cultivating in the energy of darkness.”
“Land of Chaos?” Han Shuo put on a faint smile and said, “I can tell just from the name that it is an interesting place!” After a short pause, he asked, “You said you nearly got killed in that Land? Even with your strength?”
“I still vividly remember all those who had tried to kill me. Once I have the confidence to kill them, I will return to that place to seek vengeance!” explained Rose. She put on an angered face when she recalled of her enemies.
“It will not be long. After the competition is over and after I arranged things in the House of Han, we will head to the Land of Chaos and I will help you get your revenge!” Han Shuo pledged to Rose.
When Rose heard that Han Shuo wanted to help her take revenge, her expression turned rather strange. She took a good look at Han Shuo before lowering her head and softly said, “Thank you!”
“Hehe, we have gone through trials and tribulations together and you are mine. It is what I ought to do!” replied Han Shuo smilingly.
When Han Shuo said so, the expression on Rose’s face turned even weirder. Her beautiful and lovable face flushed. She softly cried, “I’m not yours!”
Han Shuo stared blankly for a moment before the smile on his face turned bigger. She looked at the seductively beautiful Rose and said teasingly, “I mean you're my servant, okay? Did you think I meant it any other way?”
Rose’s face turned even redder. She cast an annoyed glare at Han Shuo and lowered her head without replying.
Han Shuo suddenly felt that his mood had become much better. He did not expect Rose would so interesting. But Han Shuo did not continue to tease her as it appeared that she was about to get angry. He chuckled and said, “Alright. alright, let’s hurry to the mountain range. I’m starting to get impatient!”
After experiencing the attack from the five assassins, Han Shuo and his party no longer met any troubles in the remainder of their journey. After six days, Han Shuo and his Fifth Corps divine guards finally arrived at Soaring Clouds Mountain Range.
