Chapter 902: 902
GDK 902: Who else?
Inside the Kiaran Residence of Witherbone City, Sha-t’o, one of the top characters in the city in terms of strength and influence, was being skinned alive by the callous Bollands . After a long long while, Sha-t’o stopped making his miserable shrieks . His body spasmed for some time before it turned motionless .
No one in the crowd dared step forward to stop Han Shuo after sensing the terrifying aura he was emanating . Those who had participated in attacking the House of Han were palpitating and dread could be seen in their eyes .
The House of Han who had been oppressed for a long time became visibly excited after Sha-t’o was dead . Despite having complete trust in Han Shuo’s strength, they did not expect that Han Shuo would have made such giant leaps . Even the top-notch experts of Witherbone City and the City Lord dared not mess with Han Shuo .
“Who else?” Han Shuo asked Emily .
Emily scanned the surrounding crowd with murderous eyes before it stopped on Hill the City Lord . She pointed at him and said, “This guy! He is the City Lord of Witherbone City . Without his backing, Sha-t’o wouldn’t have the courage to do something so brazen and outrageous!” Emily had heard a thing or two from Dagassi and knew that Hill played an important role in their persecution .
In fact, back then when the House of Han’s appeal for help reached Witherbone City, it wasn’t Sha-t’o who came up with the sinister plan to trap and force the House of Han to give up their secrets - it was the ambitious and greedy Hill . He was the real mastermind .
“What? I got nothing to do with this!” When Hill saw that the members of the Han Family seemed to be pacified after Sha-t’o was dead, he thought that the matter was over and he wouldn't be implicated . But who knew that Emily would point him out out of the blue .
As the City Lord, Hill was not supposed to be so flustered . However, as he had sensed the unstoppable power on Han Shuo and having witnessed Sha-t’o being flayed alive right in front of him, he lost his usual bearing . Sha-to’s inhuman, miserable shrieks still echoed in his ears .
Han Shuo cracked an incredibly chilling grin as he sized up Hill . He said, “Do you think I would trust yours or my people’s words?”
A shiver traveled down Hill’s spine . He knew that by now, no amount of excuses would save him from the monster . From how Han Shuo had exacted vengeance of Sha-t’o, Hill knew that Han Shuo was anything but kind . With that, Hill immediately abandoned his unrealistic thoughts and started rethinking his approach .
“Bryan, this is Witherbone City and I’m the City Lord . You dare kill me?” Hill kept silent for a moment before he suddenly transformed into a lofty man with a tough, unshakable demeanor . It was as though he had swept every trace of fear from his mind and turned into another person .
Hill was indeed worthy of being the Lord of a City . Facing an unbeatable opponent, Hill was able to quickly readjust his mind and strategy to find a way out . With all his focus and energy, he first purged his fear of Han Shuo off his mind .
Han Shuo was startled for a fraction of a second . He did not expect that Hill would dare give him that attitude given the situation he was in . It appeared that although Hill was just slightly stronger than Sha-t’o in terms of strength, he was much tougher than Sha-t’o by virtue of being a City Lord .
However, even though Hill was the City Lord of Witherbone City and his divine guards had completely surrounded them, Han Shuo could still kill Hill and his gang with a lift of his finger . Han Shuo could not understand where Hill’s confidence came from .
“Oh?” Han Shuo raised an eyebrow and disdainfully asked, “And what about that? You think those divine guards around you could protect your ass?”
Hill inwardly heaved a slight breath of relief after hearing Han Shuo’s reply . He was afraid that Han Shuo would kill him straightforwardly without giving him a chance to speak . Otherwise, he would be dead no matter how good his reasoning would be .
“Sha-t’o is just a family clan patriarch . He was not qualified to meet the Overgod . His Lordship wouldn’t care if he is alive or dead . But I’m very different . I’m the City Lord of Witherbone City and the most humble servant of the Overgod of Death . His Lordship has implanted a Divine Brand in my soul . If I’m killed, His Lordship will avenge me!” explained Hill hastily .
Upon hearing those words, the faces of those House of Han members jolted while those trembling Witherbone divine guards seemed to be injected with a shot of courage . They thought that their City Lord’s words made sense . The City Lord was personally appointed by the Overgod of Death . If the outsider was to kill the City Lord, he will surely suffer the wrath of the Overgod .
And absolutely no one on Elysium would want to get an Overgod angry!
“Bryan, I think… we should let it go… “ the apprehensive looking Emily advised Han Shuo in a low voice .
It was Emily who pointed out Hill to Han Shuo but she was also the first to advise Han Shuo against killing Hill . She knew that the might of an Overgod was frightening beyond her imagination . She would rather swallow the humiliation than to have Han Shuo risk his life against an Overgod .
