CHAPTER 178: I'm Happy To Be Captured By Him, What Can You Do?

"Big Bad guy, will my grandfather be alright?" The little elf Angelica looked at Han Shuo with great concern as Caspian left.

Caspian obviously had no allies in Valen City, otherwise he wouldn't have left Angelica in the care of a relative stranger. If his enemies were in Valen City and decided not to follow the rules and fight him, then the danger to him would be greater. However, to ease Angelica's worries, Han Shuo could only smile and say, "Relax, your grandfather's strength is great, so there will definitely be no danger.

Angelina, who'd originally been carefree and unconcerned, suddenly became worried about her grandfather's affairs. The eyebrows on her charming face knit together as she suddenly became silent.

Tomorrow night, Han Shuo and the others would have to face the Gryphon Legion, but for Belinda of the Church of Calamity and Lawrence, today was a special day, so they had to use the resources at hand to prepare in advance.

After staying here for a while, Han Shuo decided that just waiting in Angelica's room wasn't the right thing to do, so after some thought, he turned to the sulky little elf and said: "Let's go find big sister Candice and play."

"I don't want to go anywhere! I want to stay here and wait for my grandpa!" Unexpectedly, Angelica, who always wanted to play, did not acknowledge Han Shuo and even firmly rejected his suggestion.

Momentarily stunned, Han Shuo stared blankly before opening his mouth, "You waiting here is not a good option either. I think your grandfather will be fine, so why don't you talk to Big Sister Candice? Maybe you will feel less worried?"

"I know you want to find sister Candice yourself, you big bad guy, so if you want to go, then go yourself! I'm not going!" Angelica glared at Han Shuo resentfully, snorted, and then continued to ignore him.

Han Shuo didn't know whether to laugh or cry at her words, but he had already made his promise to Caspian, and Valen City was indeed not safe at this time, so he couldn't possibly leave her alone. What if Caspian's enemy took this opportunity to seize Angelica and use her to threaten Caspian?

Looking at Angelica's stubborn expression, Han Shuo muttered to himself before glaring at her fiercely and saying: "Who cares if you are willing or not? I already promised your grandfather, so I won't let you leave my side."

Having said these words, he didn't wait for Angelica's reply before his body flashed like lightning and arrived next to Angelica. His left hand reached out and hooked onto Angelica's body before lifting her into the air with hands that were like steel claws.

"Let go! You big scoundrel, you big pervert. Hurry up and let me go!" As Angelica reacted, she found herself unable to move her body even a little. Her two small feet kicked in the air while her mouth spat out curses.

Han Shuo paid no attention to Angelica's screams. Han Shuo didn't care at all as he kept his hand around her body while he pushed open the door and made his way to Candice's room.

Once he was outside the door, Han Shuo discovered that Angelica was still screaming. Not wanting to draw too much attention to her, he reached out with his right hand and covered her small mouth. Angelica's loud scream was suddenly reduced to a low moan and she looked as if she was being forced by Han Shuo.

"Put her down!" Just as Han Shuo was nearing Candice's room, several members of the Battlefire mercenary band suddenly emerged from two doors down, staring at Han Shuo. One of them had a ferocious body, shaking his head full of hair like iron needles and shouting with a sword strapped to his back.

"Eh, isn't that the man who was talking to the deputy chief outside of town?" One of the journeymen mages said in shock as he recognised Han Shuo at a glance.

"I don't care what his relationship is with the deputy chief. This kind of public coercion of a little girl infuriates me. I cannot possibly stand by and watch with wide eyes as he takes this poor little elf away." The fierce looking senior swordsman spoke with extreme righteousness. His bronze eyes stared at Han Shuo as he slowly reached behind him to draw his long sword and point it at Han Shuo.

Clueless as to what was going on, a pair of eyes focused on Han Shuo's body and Candice asked in astonishment, "What happened Bryan? Why are you holding little Angelica?"

"It's nothing, something happened to her grandfather, so he asked me to protect her. I am keeping her by my side to ensure her safety." Han Shuo shrugged and replied lightly.

"Davis, this is just a misunderstanding, there is no need to be so nervous!" Candice smiled softly and said to the grim senior swordsman.

"His words are useless. Only the words of this beautiful little elf can prove his innocence." For some reason, Davis was still quite stubborn after hearing Candice's words as he stared straight at the little elf Angelica who had her mouth covered by Han Shuo's hand.

With these words, Han Shuo immediately released his hand from Angelica's mouth and said, "Okay, stop playing around now and tell him that I am only protecting you."

When Han Shuo released his hand, Angelica cursed loudly and continued to make a racket before she glared at Han Shuo angrily and said fiercely: "You big evil guy, you're kidnapping me! You're kidnapping me!"

As soon as Angelica's words left her mouth, Davis, who was standing off to the side, immediately flew into a rage. He pointed his longsword at Han Shuo and shouted righteously, "Let her go immediately or you will definitely regret it!"

"Enough, Davis, can you really not see that the little girl is just fooling around? If you really have nothing to do, then it would be better for you to go back to your room and get your strength back, instead of sticking your nose into other people's business. Candice said with an imposing aura, her eyes bright and her expression cold as she glared at Davis.

Perhaps he was used to Candice's scolding, for Davis was shy at first, but regained some courage after looking at Angelica. He straightened up, puffed out his chest and said, "Master Candice, if your suggestion is wrong, then I will not listen to you."

By now, it was Han Shuo's turn to be amused as he could tell from Davis' gaze as he looked at Angelica that there was a different kind of fire in them. Han Shuo's heart moved as he already had an idea of the situation.

With a strange chuckle, Han Shuo remarked, "So that is the case, hmm? It seems like this brave mercenary wants to be a hero in front of a little beauty, or maybe there's another reason for him to act like this."

With these words, Candice and Phoebe, along with the other mercenaries off to the side, all turned to look at Davis strangely. Even the little elf Angelica looked at Davis with an astonished expression. At this point, Davis' face turned red as he awkwardly tried to explain, "No, no. It's not like that!"

Han Shuo loosened his grip on Angelica and put her down as he spread his hands and said, "All right, I won't hold you any longer since this hero wants to save the beauty so badly. Angelica, you are saved now and the hero can take you away. I don't care about you anymore."

After speaking, Han Shuo calmly walked towards Candice and Phoebe, not even giving Angelica a single glance, as if he'd completely forgotten the promise he'd made to her grandfather.

"You, you, you are safe now!" Davis said as he walked over to Angelica. The righteous aura he'd been bragging about before was gone as he stammered.

"What does this have to do with you, you stupid, stupid, stupid! I'm happy to be captured by him, so what?" When Angelica saw that Han Shuo didn't even acknowledge her, her heart suddenly shook. When she saw the approaching Davis licking his lips, she became even angrier and replied angrily.

Davis' expression suddenly became strange, as if someone had just stepped on him with a dirty shoe. His face was embarrassed and bitter beyond words.

"Big bad guy, you promised my grandfather you'd take care of me, so you can't go!" The little elf Angelica shouted at Davis before picking up her little flower skirt and quickly running towards Han Shuo. She reproached loudly as she ran, afraid that Han Shuo would ignore her while she didn't even bother to look at Davis.

Davis stood to the side with a bitter face as Candice glared at him and said without any good feelings: "Go back to your room. Stop making a fool of yourself. If you want to be a hero who swoops in to save the beauty, then look carefully first to see if the beauty is willing to be kidnapped by the fiend. You deserve to make a fool of yourself by acting so ignorantly!"

At Candice's words, the heartbroken and inconsolable Davis let out a long sigh and gloomily returned to his room. This kind of situation was indeed complicated for his brain and he hadn't quite understood it until now. How could Angelica, who had a face full of mistreatment and injustice, begin to beg Han Shuo when he had let go of her hand and turned to leave?
