GDK 889: Han Shuo vs Wasir
Han Shuo cannot defeat Tyre, Logue, and Wasir all at once. But if he only had to fight Wasir, Han Shuo was confident that he could win.
The Fringe has always been a place where the person with the biggest fist makes the rule. Sometimes, instead of a lengthy futile argument, it was better to let the fists do the talking. From how Han Shuo saw it, Wasir was not just the weakest of the three, but also the most annoying. By fighting Wasir, Han Shuo could demonstrate that he possessed the strength to take Salas’ place in the Omphalos and also kick Wasir’s ass.
Wasir did not expect that Han Shuo would challenge him to a fight. Under the threatening gaze of Han Shuo, Wasir turned from arrogant to hesitant.
Fighting Han Shuo one on one was nowhere in Wasir’s plan. Before the meeting, Wasir, Tyre, and Logue had reached an agreement to gang up against Han Shuo. They thought that Han Shuo would never be able to escape from them if they joined forces. That was why Wasir had spoken to Han Shuo with such contempt.
Tyre, Logue, and Wasir weren’t all that close. In fact, they had always been fighting each other for a bigger share of the Fringe. Tyre seemed very astonished to hear Han Shuo challenge Wasir to a duel without thinking. He stared deeply at Han Shuo for a second before he spoke laughingly, “Haha, brother, you are indeed filled with heroic spirit. No wonder you have stood out in the Fringe in such little time!”
Tyre did not comment on the challenge Han Shuo issued at Wasir and he showed no intention to de-escalate the situation.
A thought crossed Logue’s mind. He turned to the hesitant Wasir and mocked, “Hehe, Wasir, you ain’t afraid of him, are you?”
Wasir was enraged for he understood what Tyre and Logue’s intentions were.
Tyre and Logue did not have a clear idea of Han Shuo’s true strength. Although all the Sovereigns were present when Han Shuo fought Salas, the battle was just too brief to tell anything for sure. Besides, as Salas had been fighting Ossora prior to that, they could not determine Han Shuo’s strength without a wide margin of error.
It was because of this substantial room of uncertainty that back then, Logue and Wasir had not taken any rash action but left the Pandemonium straightforwardly. This was also the reason that the Three Sovereigns had taken no action against Han Hao’s rampant looting of those Omphalos merchants for such a long time.
The three Sovereigns were patient characters. They wouldn’t take any rash action when they were uncertain of Han Shuo’s true strength. The three Sovereigns had only invited Han Shuo to the meeting after they reached an agreement where the three of them would join forces and end Han Shuo’s life on the extinct volcano if Han Shuo proved stubborn to be reasoned with.
But after suddenly hearing Han Shuo challenge Wasir to a fight, Tyre and Logue realized that being able to determine Han Shuo’s true strength without risking injuries themselves would be an even more fantastic deal.
If Han Shuo then demonstrated supreme strength, where the three of them could not keep Han Shuo trapped, Tyre and Logue could maintain their current relationship with Han Shuo and not make a powerful enemy for now. But if Han Shuo wasn’t as powerful as they thought, they could step into the battle without notice and join hands with Wasir to kill Han Shuo.
It took Tyre and Logue no time to realize that having Wasir and Han Shuo fight would be more beneficial for them than all three of them joining forces to attack Han Shuo. Therefore Tyre had not tried to de-escalate the tension while Logue tried to provoke Wasir.
In his mind, Wasir chided himself for being too impulsive while cursing Tyre and Logue for their deviousness. With Han Shuo sneering at him, Wasir did not know which
If I accept the challenge, I’ll fall right into Tyre and Logue’s ruse. If I decline, others might think that I’m afraid of that kiddo and boost his morale. Grr! Wasir did not know which choice to take, especially with Han Shuo sneering at him.
The sneering Han Shuo knew exactly what was on Wasir, Tyre, and Logue’s mind. Seeing that Wasir was still hesitant, Han Shuo added, “Don’t worry, we have no quarrels with each other, so we ain’t going to fight till the death. Hehe, consider it a friendly match, if you may. That shouldn’t be a problem for you, right?”
Han Shuo did not want Wasir to decline the challenge and with Tyre and Logue around, he did not want to fight Wasir until one of them is dead. All Han Shuo wanted was to kick Wasir’s ass to demonstrate his strength and go home.
“Wasir, what’s wrong with you today? You are acting much more timid than usual! Haven’t you heard what Bryan said? What are you still worrying about? Could it be that you are afraid of fighting him? Hehe… “ said Logue in a jesting smile.
With things having come to this, Wasir knew that he cannot avoid a battle with Han Shuo. He silently cursed Tyre and Logue and all their ancestors before he coldly nodded and said, “A fight you will have. I don’t believe that you possess the power to defeat Salas. You only won because you were lucky!”
Han Shuo was delighted to hear Wasir agree to the challenge. Compared to Tyre and Logue, Wasir’s strength and realm state were slightly poorer. Of the three Sovereigns, Wasir’s butt was the easiest to kick.
Then, without giving any warning, Han Shuo spread his hands and the Demonic Blades shot out from the tip of his fingers. The incredibly sharp blades glistened with chilling radiances.
