Chapter 735: 735
GDK 735: Fall out
Andrina could be considered half the boss of Celestial Pearl Pharmacy . Everyone who worked there recognized her . Anito forcibly shoved the densely packed crowd to make a clear path straight to the center building for Andrina and her party .
Anito sized up the group of people following behind Andrina with puzzled gazes . As a midgod, Anito could tell that these people were incredibly weak with just one glance . He had no idea why would Andrina, whose strength was immense beyond fathom, would be taking these weaklings to Celestial Pearl .
“Hey! Andrina, you are back!” Akley who was looking at the doorway lazily shouted upon sighting Andrina from a distance .
Andrina gestured at the people behind her and headed towards Akley . As soon as she arrived beside him, she asked, “Where is Bryan?”
“Bryan is in the banquet hall with the members of large family clans . He should be dividing the medicines among them at this moment . Do you have anything urgent for him?” replied Akley .
“Got it,” Andrina pointed at the group of people behind her as she instructed Akley, “Get them a place to live in . They are all Bryan’s friends . Make sure they are treated well . ”
After instructing Akley in an arrogant manner, Andrina turned around and told Fanny and the ladies, “My sisters, be at ease and rest well . We are in the City of Shadows, you will all be very safe here . ”
The party was scared and on edge throughout the journey . They heaved a sigh of relief after hearing Andrina’s consoling words .
Stratholme had a face filled with revere as he gazed at the lively congregation . He whispered to Ayermike, “Look at them, every one of them gives off an immensely mighty aura . They should all at least be in lowgod realm . We must increase our strength at the fastest rate here . Otherwise, even with Bryan sheltering us, without strength, it’s unlikely that we could make much accomplishment in this world . ”
Ayermike nodded in agreement . He replied, “That’s true . We are not like the ladies and do not have deep, romantic relationships with Bryan . If I became a burden to him, even if he doesn’t chase me away, I would be too embarrassed to stay . ”
These characters who used to immensely powerful and influential back on the Profound Continent were thoroughly awed and motivated by the countless powerful experts they met along the way . Never before had they experienced such a scene where countless experts gathered . When they realized that everyone around them could kill them just by moving a finger, with effort no greater than pinching an ant, their hearts were filled with an intense sullen feeling .
“So it’s Bryan’s friends . Come, follow me, I will arrange your lodgings . Haha, our Celestial Pearl has a lot of empty rooms,” Akley said laughingly as he led Stratholme, Emily, and the others away .
The demigods and basegod did not waste a moment . As soon as Akley helped them settled in their rooms, they began accumulating the elements, cultivating to raise their strength .
Andrina did not go with them but headed to the banquet hall alone .
“I hope everyone is happy with your purchases?” Han Shuo asked smilingly after delivering the medicines allocated based on the respective strengths of the family clans they represented .
There would be a big pile of medicines stacked before the representatives of each family clan . They all had big smiles on their faces and would nod to express that they were satisfied .
Bags after bags of crystal coins were happily tossed before Han Shuo and they piled up to the size of a small hill . After the crowd expressed that they were satisfied with the goods, Han Shuo kept away the crystal coins smilingly . He had refined a lot more pelleted medicines than the previous rounds . After a quick guesstimation, Han Shuo learned that he had obtained nearly three hundred thousand black crystal coins . It was no small sum .
“Folks, since everyone is happy with your purchases, I would like to propose a toast - to the pharmacy we keep profitable!” Andre raised his glass smilingly . His gentle voice spread throughout the hall .
The crowd smilingly raised their cups at Andre and Han Shuo and drank to the toast .
Cough, cough… Suddenly, an ill-timed coughing sounded in the hall . it was as though someone choked on their wine .
The crowd who was downing their wine smilingly immediately gathered their attention on the source of the noise . They saw that a blushing Portlem was coughing repeatedly . It appeared that he had indeed been choking on his own glass of wine . He was patting his chest as he looked towards the entrance in a grimace .
The crowd found his performance strange . Following the direction of his sight, they suddenly discovered that there was a little girl with ice-cold appearance standing at the doorway .
“Andrina!” Han Shuo cried out excitedly . He shouted, “It’s great that you are alright! I have been worrying about you . I heard from Carmelita that you ran into trouble on your way back . What happened?”
Andrina did not immediately reply to Han Shuo’s question but stared at Portlem coldly . She slowly stepped towards Portlem without moving her eyes . She appeared murderous . Anyone could tell what she was about to do .
Those in the room were no fools . From the expressions on Andrina and Portlem, the crowd could immediately tell that there were grudges between the two . Han Shuo, who also realized this fact, immediately put on a dark face . He swept his chilling and sinister gazes on Portlem .
“I don’t know his name, but on my way back to the City of Shadows, it is this guy who lusted over my elder sisters . He thought that we are too weak to defend ourselves and therefore tried to abduct us with his divine guards and an uncle of his . We almost fell to his vicious hands!” Andrina answered in a chilling voice after stopping beside Han Shuo .
Han Shuo had a baleful look . His pair of eyes looking at Portlem was as piercing as swords . He asked in a deep voice, “Young master Portlem, is that so?”
“Bryan, there are some misunderstandings - I didn’t know that they are members of your Celestial Pearl Pharmacy! Only a few of them have reached demigod and basegod strengths . There are people of young and old and a few women . How would I know that they are people of your Celestial Pearl?” Portlem put on a grimace and hastily explained .
“I have clearly mentioned we are from Celestial Pearl soon after we met . Don’t tell me that you, as a highgod, had failed to hear it?” Andrina coldly shouted .
As soon as she finished those words, Andrina suddenly attacked . A dazzling screen made of light shot out from her body and towards Portlem .
Portlem was about to try giving more excuses when he saw that Andrina had suddenly attacked . His face jolted . The dinner suit suddenly shattered from his chest, revealing the divine armor underneath printed with three bones . Obviously, Portlem was aware just how extraordinary Andrina’s strength was and he had therefore immediately deployed all his defenses with all his strength . He filled the divine armor with his divine energy of death . The divine armor glistened with bright while radiance and formed several layers of defensive energy fields .
Simultaneously, Portlem waved his two hands and using his divine energy, congealed a white bone shield in the space before him .
Pow!
The screen made of splendid radiances stuck on the bone shield . Andrina’s strength was more than a level above that of Portlem’s . Creak! The white bone shield completely broke into pieces . Andrina seized this opportunity to place her tender small hand on Portlem’s chest .
Pow! Portlem was thrown staggering backward . His face started to turn pale .
Ka! While Portlem was stumbling backward, Han Shuo got behind him and stabbed at Portlem’s back with the wine glass in his hand . His sneak attack caused Portlem to stumble forward .
Andrina’s sudden attack and Han Shuo’s sneak attack all happened in a flash . There were several highgods also in the hall but none of them had expected Andrina and Han Shuo to be so impulsive and reckless . Not only that they struck with no misgivings, but they also do not shy from doing sneak attacks .
“Cease!” Andrina and Han Shuo had both made their first strikes when Andre’s cry sounded . Portlem took the opportunity to retreat towards Charlotte . A strand of blood was flowing from a corner of his mouth . His face was unsightly pale . The calmness he displayed a few moments ago had completely vanished . His eyes were filled with sinister lights .
Whoosh! Andrina charged to the space between Portlem and Charlotte and continued attacking him .
Han Shuo wore a callous face . His figure blurred and he turned into a trail of fuzzy shadow . He attacked Portlem from the side as though he had not heard Andre at all .
“Bryan, calm down . At least get the whole thing clear first!” Andre shouted in a deep voice and rushed towards the fight .
