The Great Demon King

Chapter 136: "Difference in position"

Han Shuo was flabbergasted when he saw the old man standing up and walking over. He had yet to find it when the old man sat down, but when the old man straightened his body, he immediately looked extremely amazed. His body was tall and fit, and did not seem old and awkward in the least.

Phoebe pinched Han Shuo covertly, wanting him to hurry up and apologize. Lawrence, on the other hand, kept glancing at Han Shuo, seemingly urging him to apologize to the old man.

When he saw the old man walking over, Han Shuo said with a sad smile, “Your gear is really sensitive, but I didn't say anything bad about you, either, just want to introduce a good friend to you in your old age.”

“Oh? Now this is kind of interesting. I don't think you'd be so kind. “The old man walked over and glanced at Han Shuo, who sent a chill running through his heart. He then pointed to Phoebe and smiled, “Do you mean this beautiful woman? If it was him, I would be so happy, heh heh! ”

Han Shuo was immediately gobsmacked by these words as Phoebe's face reddened. He glanced at Han Shuo, seemingly blaming him for playing with fire.

“No, this woman feels unsuitable for a child your age. I thought that this old granny was more suited to you. ”Han Shuo felt his aura slightly hindered when he faced this old man. He opened his mouth and continued spouting random nonsense in an attempt to dispel that oppressive feeling.

On the other hand, Lawrence seemed a little anxious and continued to send a certain glance at Han Shuo. However, he was still a bit late as Han Shuo spoke in his mind.

“One thing that is rough and less proliferating. In what ways am I fit for this old thing? Are you looking for death ?! ”Valerie was furious as she shouted at Han Shuo with a rude look. He also glared at the older ones as well for a good size.

“Little boy, you must be kidding. Although I'm not young, I feel younger than this Mistress. I thought he would be more suitable for my late grandfather. “When the elder heard Valerie also curse him, he actually cheerfully pretended the same way.

Despite her advanced age, her words rendered Valerie completely worthless. Valerie was so angry, that smoke almost rose from her seven holes. He immediately looked at the old man angrily and shouted, “Hal slovenly damned, how dare you say that about me.”

A slap sounded as Lawrence suddenly moved and threw a slap at the rich mistress. He said with a cold face to Cameron on the side, “Uncle Cameron, your friend is too rude. We do not welcome people like him. Please ask him to leave immediately. ”

Cameron's face changed slightly as he couldn't understand why Lawrence had done it. The madam almost wanted to run amok. He covered his mouth as a hint of blood could be seen. It seemed Lawrence did not hold back with this slap.

Cameron is subtly starting to sense something is wrong and will ask what Lawrence meant when Finance Minister Eevee walked off the distance. He immediately shouted in shock as he came and bowed, “Master Hahn, what brings you here?”

Han Shuo's heart surged in shock when he suddenly recalled Mister Cameron's conversation about Emily's previous identity. The current head of the Betteridge family is named Hahn. When he thought about this and once again looked at the elder, he vaguely guessed his identity.

Cameron's face also changed as he coldly shouted at Valerie in a low voice. “Shut!” He's holding Valerie, who's going to keep making a fuss. He then spoke fearfully to the elder, “I'm sorry, Mr. Hahn, we are most disrespectful. I'll take him away now and personally visit in a few days to offer my apology. ”

Valerie finally recovered on her own at this moment and her expression was filled with admiration and fear as well. He stood there in a mute fog, unsure of what to say. It is clear that it is encoded with Hahn's identity.

“No need, our Betteridge clan cannot accommodate a character like you.” Hahn on the other hand, maintained his usual expression and stared coldly at the two of them as he spoke weakly.

Cameron's expression was still humble as he continued to express his apology and continued to pull in the bewildered Valerie, quickly walking out. He continued to bow and offer an apology before he left, until his figure disappeared in the distance.

In this world, even with all the gold coins that merchants could obtain, their status in society would never be on par with nobles like Hahn, he said, especially when the Hahn clan is a senior official in the military. They would not dare to offend Hahn at all costs.

“Little boy, you have guts.” Seeing that Han Shuo still had the same expression on his face after Cameron left with a clear explanation from Lawrence and Eevee, the, Hahn was slightly surprised to see that Han Shuo did not offer an apology or a frightening appearance. He snorted softly at Han Shuo.

“Heh heh, I'm a narrow-minded person. Everybody knows that. ”Hahn laughed strangely and replied with something beyond Han Shuo's expectations.

This made Han Shuo feel a little surprised as he stood there, at a loss for the right words.

“Eh, dear father, what are you guys talking about here chatting?” Emily had turned into a new set of clothes at this moment and first glanced at Han Shuo, then looked at Hahn in surprise.

Emily had married Hahn's second son, but the poor man had no time to finish the marriage before Hahn sent her to the battlefield. She does not return in the end and leaves Emily as a widow. Therefore, after Emily became Betteridge's daughter-in-law, old Hahn continued to rebuke herself and felt that she owed something to her son and daughter-in-law. It is said that she loved Emily very much and was even closer to her than her own son.

“Not much, it's just that I've met an interesting little guy. Mm, let's go, let's go. I'll dance with you. I don't understand at all. You used to never bring a date to this banquet, but wanted to drag me along this entire time. You will be the death of me sooner or later, “Old Hahn first responds recklessly and then complains cheerfully as he walks towards the dance hall.

Emily wants to talk more, but she can only quickly follow old Hahn. Yet when she left, Emily still swept over Han Shuo with a refined gaze.

Old Hahn's words seemed to indicate something subtly. He thought about it for a while and understood that it might be because he made Emily change. He was quite touched internally.

“Eh, so she's Miss Emily. It should have been my first time meeting him today, but why does his back look a bit familiar? ”Lawrence looked towards Emily's disappearance and glanced at Han Shuo, asking in a low voice.

Lawrence's words seemed to point to something, especially the last glance at Han Shuo. This made Han Shuo feel that Lawrence seemed to have found something, but to Han Shuo, his relationship with Phoebe was fake, and thus he is not afraid of Lawrence telling Phoebe about his relationship with Emily. He felt that he was on strong ground in the heart and did not panic.

“Phoebe is small, You didn't offend old Hahn, did you?” Finance Minister Eevee looked at Phoebe and spoke with little worry after Hahn and Emily left.

“Do not care about Phoebe problem, heh heh. Go back to whatever is busy with you and don't worry. I'll take care of everything here, “Lawrence stood by the side and suddenly spoke.

Eevee seemed to listen to Lawrence a lot as she nodded and did not say much after Lawrence opened her mouth. He left with a slight smile.

“Do not worry, Mr. Hahn is not someone who is confused right and wrong. He won't make trouble for you, I can promise you that. The ball has started, you two can have fun. ”Lawrence spoke with a small smile at Han Shuo and Phoebe after Eevee left.

“Mm, understand senior brother.” Phoebe smiled and pulled Han Shuo's arm, seemingly saying randomly, “Come, dance with me.”

Han Shuo started and said in a slight panic, “Forget it, I don't know how to dance, not at all!”

Phoebe started and hesitated. Just as he was about to give up, his eyebrows suddenly shot up and he said with a little mischievous, “No problem, I can teach you. It's very simple. ”

“Forget it, I'm really stupid. It's not good for me to humiliate you in front of everyone. “Han Shuo shook his head and refused with a wry smile.

His slender, white neck lifted, Phoebe said with a slight frown, “What did you promise me earlier? Do not try to change the subject. ”

Phoebe wrapped her hands firmly in Han Shuo's arms after she spoke, without thinking about whether Han Shuo agreed or not. She pulled him towards the dance floor, not giving him a chance to refuse."
