CHAPTER 256: The Female Bandit

That was the first Prince Charles!

As Han Shuo squinted at him, he suddenly had a strange thought: "Lawrence is the owner of the Rose Garden, so the mages and guards around should be under the orders of that murderous Bollands. For the first Prince Charles to come here for pleasure, he's basically stepped into the tiger's den without knowing it. If Lawrence gets the support of Karel, wouldn't he be able to kill this Charles without a sound?"

"Haha, good, good." Charles first laughed loudly with satisfaction, then he curved his mouth and coldly provoked, "You should dispel any thoughts as soon as possible, or you might even die without knowing how."

Finishing the sentence, Charles conveniently dropped a vicious line in a low voice, "Little bastard mutt!"

"Let's go. Shall we have some fun?" Charles turned his body with a loud laugh and left, the bootlickers following closely behind. He paid no further attention to Lawrence.

Lawrence's face twisted in anger. His hands clenched into fists, blue veins protruding from their backs. Lawrence couldn't stop his whole body from shaking. His angry eyes radiated thick, murderous intent as he stared viciously at Charles' receding back. Even his breathing had become much heavier.

Looking at Lawrence's posture, ready to explode at any moment, Han Shuo was truly afraid that the man would not be able to control himself and would throw everything to the wind to risk his life for a fight with Charles.

For an illegitimate child, the most humiliating thing was to be cursed as a 'bastard'. If this vicious curse came from the person they hated the most, it increased the humiliation tenfold. No wonder even an introvert like Lawrence was almost out of control.

Patting Lawrence's shoulder, Han Shuo comforted him, "Let it go. We will return this hatred soon. Don't be so hasty."

"I want to kill him with my own hands. I'll definitely kill him with my own hands..." Lawrence gritted his teeth as he whispered, his face grim.

"Oh, if it isn't Mr Aubrey? And Mr Cameron too!" The Rose Garden was indeed a lively place to spend money. First Prince Charles had just left, and Han Shuo had already bumped into the new arrivals he'd met earlier at the Boozt Merchant Guild - Cameron and Aubrey, plus several other merchants.

"Damn it, what the hell did you, petty, despicable villain, do to our bodies?" As soon as he saw Han Shuo, Aubrey couldn't help but fume and curse immediately.

It was springtime, with flowers blooming everywhere. The weather was great. However, Aubrey and Cameron looked a bit strange. Aubrey's whole body was wrapped in a thick fur coat from head to toe. He stood there shivering, his face frozen purple.

Cameron, on the other hand, was the exact opposite. In this mild, pleasant weather, he looked as if he had been in a sauna. His thin clothes were soaked with sweat, and his mouth blew out hot air whenever he opened it to speak. His face was flushed. He was obviously unbearably hot.

Perhaps to balance each other out, these two strangely dressed fellows walked hand in hand. Being two big manly men, it was even stranger for them to appear in a place like the Rose Garden holding hands.

These two had been injected with the poison of ice and fire. The fire and ice poisons were now alternately attacking their bodies, making them extremely cold one moment and extremely hot the next. This pain would continue to torment them until the poison injected by Han Shuo wore off.

Giving them a contemptuous look, Han Shuo said viciously, "Two great masters walking hand in hand in broad daylight. This is truly disgusting."

"Damnable! What kind of poison have you given us? You despicable villain!" Aubrey's two rows of teeth made clacking noises as they chattered. He trembled as he shouted.

Lawrence had originally been furious to see these two appear here, but now he felt a little better. He laughed heartily and shook his head in derision, "With this particular hobby, you should have been more stealthy. Coming here so brazenly, your morals have really sunk!"

"Bryan, I won't let you off so easily." Aubrey glared angrily at Han Shuo and threatened with a wide mouth.

As soon as he finished those words, the poison of ice and fire swapped. His ice-cold body suddenly soared in temperature. He hastily threw off his fur coat in a practiced manner and began to curse incessantly.

"That's enough for today, let's leave this place." Han Shuo convinced him. He understood that meeting Aubrey here meant that he would be tangled up with him all the time. He knew that the misery caused by the poison of ice and fire was indeed unbearable. Besides, Lawrence had certainly lost interest in having fun after the vicious remarks he had received from Charles earlier.

Lawrence seemed to have lost his temper as he nodded, "Very well. I brought you here this time mainly because of the earlier matter. We'll have plenty of time for fun later. These hated characters really disgust me. Let's go. Don't let them get to us."

"Don't go. Give me the antidote first or I won't leave you alone." Aubrey breathed heavily and stared at Han Shuo, shouting incessantly.

After knowing Han Shuo's strength, the big businessman Cameron seemed to be afraid that Han Shuo would kill him suddenly. He didn't dare to speak and just followed after Aubrey.

Han Shuo quickly left with Lawrence without stopping. After they left the rose garden, the earth rider Jino let out a loud cry. Several of Lawrence's guards quickly surrounded him.

Aubrey had not yet approached when Jino roughly pushed him aside. Lawrence and Han Shuo got into the carriage and left the Rose Garden.

"Alright, I'll go first. Wait for me to come look for you after I pick up my graduation diploma." After leaving the Rose Garden for a while, Han Shuo said goodbye to Lawrence. Then he jumped off the carriage and left on his own.

The number of people guarding Lawrence in both the light and the dark were not few, so Han Shuo wasn't too worried about his safety. There was no need for him to stay and protect him, so he jumped out of the carriage to take care of his own personal business.

After separating from Lawrence, Han Shuo went straight to the graveyard in the mountain behind the Babylon Academy of Magic and Strength and entered the place where the transportation matrix was hidden.

Fanny and Phoebe needed at least three days to adjust after taking the Rebirth Pill. In those three days, their stomachs wouldn't stop aching until their bodies had expelled all the impurities inside. Han Shuo believed that they would definitely not want to see him during that time. If beautiful women had to squat on the toilet all the time, it wouldn't matter how elegant they were.

Lawrence had paved the way for Han Shuo's future, but Han Shuo had to prove himself as an adept necromancer. He intended to receive the diploma from the Babylon Academy of Magic and Strength when he visited Fanny, so he had at least three more days of free time.

A lot of things could be done in three days. Han Shuo wanted to check out the Valley of Sunshine first. He appeared in the Cemetery of Death through the Transportation Matrix, then used the Demonic Ninth Heaven Art to fly towards the Valley of Sunshine.

On Han Shuo's orders, Gilbert left the cemetery and took the dwarves' weapons to Trunks. They must have already met.

Han Shuo used all his strength and flew with the speed of a shooting star. Only a faint light flashed through, heading towards the Valley of Sunshine.

The Valley of Sunshine wasn't too far away from the Dark Forest. At his current speed, it would only take Han Shuo about half a day to reach the Valley of Sunshine.

There were a lot of forces here, so when Han Shuo reached the area, he didn't continue flying, but walked on the ground to avoid attracting attention. He moved forward, following the address Trunks had given him.

Whoosh!

Suddenly, several arrows pierced the air and pinned the tree in front of Han Shuo.

As sounds of commotion rang out, nearly a hundred bandits emerged from the bushes. They were obviously well trained, and most of them were carrying a good weapon. A small portion of them were even wearing full armour, the quality of which looked even better than the official army of the Lancelot Empire.

Nearly a hundred bandits, their eyes cold and their movements awe-inspiring, suddenly surrounded Han Shuo. One after another, bows, crossbows and spears were aimed at him.

Among them was a red-haired, fierce-looking girl. She had bright eyes and white teeth and wore a set of leather clothes. She looked rather arrogant as she walked forward with great strides and said haughtily, "We've been watching you for quite some time now. You dare to fly around in our land. If you're so good, why don't you fly over here so I can see?"

Han Shuo had just flown into the air, so he hadn't released the Yin Demons to scout around. He also didn't pay too much attention to the goings-on in the forest below, and of course he didn't expect to be surrounded by layers of bandits.

"You must be Lady Janet. Hehe, I'm just an ordinary mage, I didn't know this area was your territory, sorry." Han Shuo glanced at the group, paying particular attention to the unruly girl, then said with a laugh.

"It seems you have some knowledge. Who are you? What the hell are you trying to do by infiltrating our territory?" The female bandit Janet glared at Han Shuo, interrogating him.

"I'm just passing by, I have no bad intentions. Well then, I still have things to do, will you allow me to leave?" Han Shuo had heard a bit about the deeds of this bandit Janet from Trunks. He knew that this girl followed the bandit profession as an inheritance from her ancestors. Even though her character was a bit unruly and stubborn, she wasn't a bad person. She could be considered a merciful bandit with a strict set of principles among the bandit forces around the Valley of Sunshine, so Han Shuo didn't want to mess with her.

"You look so devious. You must not be a good person. The Valley of Sunshine has been chaotic lately, so who knows if you aren't a spy sent by our enemies? Men, come and capture this fellow first, then interrogate him carefully." Janet stared at Han Shuo. Seeing him not showing the slightest bit of fear and instead grinning, she began to feel somewhat annoyed and angrily turned around to order the gang.
