GDK 806: Come, hit me!

Setting out for the Fringe from the Darkness Dominion, Han Shuo must cross the Death and Lightning Dominions. There were no transportation matrixes available.

It was a long journey even for Han Shuo. After three months of traveling, they passed through Mirage City and Darkwater City. They were stepping into the territory of the City of Gorging Clouds.

Throughout the three months of traveling, Han Shuo and Rose had been avoiding the city centers as much as possible. When they crossed Mirage City and Darkwater City, they had not entered the main Cities but would only stay in the outer towns and forts. Then, one day, they finally stepped into the territory of the most powerful city in the Darkness Dominion - the City of Gorging Clouds.

But unlike previously, Han Shuo did not lead Rose through roads far from the City but headed straight for it.

“Huh? Why aren’t you avoiding the City?” Rose was a little surprised when she noticed the decision of Han Shuo’s. She asked, “Are you planning to enter the City of Gorging Clouds?”

Han Shuo and Rose had been traveling alone for the past three months. Rose seemed to be in a better mood during the journey. She was no longer cold and silent to Han Shuo. Han Shuo even noticed that she became more talkative when they were in the City of Shadows. Perhaps that had something to do with her innate dislike of being in a populated area.

Although Felder was the person who organized a sneak attack against Han Shuo on his journey to Soaring Cloud Mountain Range, the person who sponsored the most to the attack was Lakrisen of the Broadhurst Family. The House of Broadhurst was the most powerful family clan in the City of Gorging Clouds. Their patriarch, Yarus, was the City Lord of the City. Not only that Lakrisen had failed in assassinating Han Shuo, but three of his experts were killed by Han Shuo instead.

Han Shuo doubted that Lakrisen will simply forget about this grudge!

Han Shuo wanted to enter the City of Gorging Clouds and learn its situation. And if the opportunity presents itself, Han Shuo would take risks and eliminate Lakrisen, removing this great danger looming over his House of Han.

“Yep, I want to check out the City of Gorging Clouds and see just how strong they are,” replied Han Shuo after he nodded.

Rose was still unaware of the assassins' identities and therefore she was rather perplexed by Han Shuo’s decision. She replied, “As the most powerful city in the Darkness Dominion, the City of Gorging Clouds is way beyond the City of Shadows in overall strength. The House of Broadhurst is also the most ancient family clan in the Darkness Dominion. Not only that they have countless powerful experts, but they are even very united!”

“After the House of Lavers departed from the City of Shadows, they have all relocated to the City of Gorging Clouds. Hehe, we have taken over their resources and estates in the City of Shadows and I’m sure that he lavers Family will harbor a grudge at us for that. I wonder how they are doing in the City of Gorging Clouds,” said Han Shuo in a faint smile. “Come, let’s go and take a look!”

Rose was always submissive to Han Shuo’s orders. She followed Han Shuo towards the City without complaint.

After traveling for half a month, Han Shuo and Rose arrived before the City of Gorging Clouds’ city gates. The great gates were made dark bright, stony material. Tall and ominous they stood upon either side of the gateway guarded by numerous solemn and austere divine guards.

Above the imposing gates were several oversized crystal cannons, pointing threateningly at the horizon. They were glistening as though a million starlight were packed into them. Awe and dread would fell upon all who gazed at them.

“Those crystal cannons are powered by the arrays of energy towers located behind them. They are so powerful that even an average highgod would have trouble resisting a blast while lowgods - they would instantly be vaporized!” Rose softly explained when she noticed that Han Shuo’s eyes had been lingering around the crystal cannons.

“This is indeed no ordinary city. Come, let’s get moving. “ After taking a moment to observe the City from its outside, Han Shuo and Rose paid the entrance fees and entered the City of Gorging Clouds.

After entering the City, Han Shuo and Rose spent some time walking around. Han Shuo noticed that the City of Gorging Clouds’ defenses were indeed much stronger than the City of Shadows’. There were countless crystal cannons and defense towers that relied upon energy crystals erected. Squads of steady and calm divine guards patrolled the streets constantly.

Rose concealed her silvery hair and Han Shuo had slightly altered his appearance. He believed that no one in the City of Gorging Clouds would recognize them. Han Shuo then went to a squad of divine guards passing by them and asked, “Excuse me, do you know where the Lavers Family is located?”

“Lavers Family?” the divine guard of the City of Gorging Clouds stared blankly at the few pieces of black crystal coins Han Shuo put in his hand for a moment. He then turned to his comrade and asked, “Is there any family in the City called Lavers?”

“Yea, there is. Just recently a family clan called Lavers from the City of Shadows has moved here. I hearsay that a woman in that family named Donna will be married to Lord Lakrisen’s son in a few days. Hehe, this means that the House of Broadhurst will soon gain yet another vassal family clan!” another divine guard interrupted. He then said to Han Shuo, “That Lavers Family is living at the south side of the City!”

“Many thanks!” replied Han Shuo before he left the squad with Rose.

Han Shuo did not expect that something like this would happen to Donna. Although Han Shuo had a bad history with the House of Lavers, he always remained grateful to Donna. Han Shuo believed that Donna had nothing to do with Felder's attempt to assassinate him.
