The Great Demon King

Chaoter 76 "He's my girlfriend "

“Senior brother Lawrence, come with me, I'll give you the things you need!” Phoebe said to Lawrence, seemingly a little bored after Han Shuo did not respond to the round of sarcasm directed towards him. Han Shuo only drank a mouthful after a mouthful of water with a sour face.

Before he left, Phoebe's sharp eyes stared intently at Han Shuo when his body stopped, “If you're not in a hurry, wait a minute.”

Han Shuo raised his head to look at Phoebe, clearly feeling her suppressed anger. Remember that the materials for his Demonslayer Edge were still in his hands, he immediately nodded in resignation.

Phoebe led Lawrence aside. Fabian looked at Han Shuo with a very strange gaze after they left, asking in surprise, “Bryan, to think that you are just a errand boy in the Babylonian Magic Academy. God, but you are so strong, what happened? ”

“Not much. Oh right, this Lawrence is part of the warrior academy in our Academy, a very ordinary knight sergeant, but Miss Phoebe has the power as a swordsman. How could they both have the same master? ” Han Shuo was quite confused when he asked Fabian.

Although the knights and swordsmen could train the same fighting aura, Lawrence was only a sergeant knight, whereas Phoebe had the strength of a sword master when training under the same master. The gap between the two was too great, especially when Han Shuo clearly heard from their mouths that Lawrence was the senior disciple brother and Phoebe was only a junior brother. This made Han Shuo feel that it was even stranger.

“I'm also not very clear about this young miss situation. I was just an insignificant character in the Boozt Merchant Guild before. I only heard that the young miss studied abroad before the Guildmaster died, and would only return once or twice each year. If not for the fact that the Guildmaster had suddenly died, Miss Phoebe would likely not have suddenly stayed.

Lawrence just showed up. Their relationship is quite close, but I also have no way to answer your question. ”Fabian looked at Han Shuo in an apologetic tone as she explained.

Han Shuo did not ask further after this explanation, but simply nodded and frowned in contemplation.

After a while, Phoebe and Lawrence once again stood at the door. Phoebe looked at Fabian and ordered, “Fabian, show senior brother Lawrence out the door for me. I have a few words to speak to Mr. Bryan personally! ”

“Ya, miss!” Fabian stood up, knew how to behave in difficult situations and walked out.

“Bryan, I'm so happy to see you here. If you want to earn some more gold coins in the future, you can come see Me at any time. However, I thought you wouldn't need that anymore. Alright, see you, Bryan, I think we will have many opportunities to meet in the future, “Lawrence looked at Han Shuo meaningfully, laughed lightly and followed Fabian out.

When the two had left, Phoebe walked in with a cold face and glanced at Han Shuo after sitting down, snorting softly, “How dare you come back here again!”

“And why don't I dare?” Han Shuo's brows flicked, taking nothing as he stared back into Phoebe's eyes. “I haven't done anything against my conscience, not to mention you still owe me from last time. As long as you give Me the materials you promised and the black gold ore, I will leave immediately and will not do any more business with you! ”

Phoebe slammed her hand against the table and looked at Han Shuo angrily, “You, how dare you demand something from me! Shit, you broke me and I'm good enough not to kill you! ”

“Omong is empty, You and I were affected by an aphrodisiac back then. I'm the one who dragged you out of the Guild, otherwise you're long dead now. Not to mention I didn't really do anything to You, otherwise I wouldn't have taken You to the river. “Han Shuo is really angry now. He had worked hard all night and not only did he get nothing, but he also suffered a beating on his hands. Phoebeini will not let go of this matter, is he really trying to avoid paying?

Phoebe unsheathed her long sword with a clang and stared furiously at Han Shuo. Han Shuo also suddenly slammed the table and immediately stood up, staring at Phoebe ferociously, seemingly wanting to fight as soon as the two disagreed.

The two of them glared at each other and maintained this position for almost a minute. Phoebe curled her lips and inserted her long sword back into its sheath with another clang. He turned his head, no longer looking at Han Shuo and said coldly. “What do you want?”

“Very simple. I'll buy the other ingredients according to the estimate You gave Me and give Me the black gold ore You owe Me. Our debts will be settled this way and we will have nothing to do with each other in the future. I won't make any more foolish transactions with you, “Han Shuo sat down with a dark face and drained the water from the glass in front of him with a single gulp, saying firmly.

“You jerk, jerk looking for profit. Here, take everything and get out of here! ”Phoebe felt a wave of unconscious anger after hearing Han Shuo's words as an uncontrollable fury surfaced on her face. He pulled a large bundle of somewhat irritated items from the space ring and slammed them on the table, throwing them in front of Han Shuo, directing a sharp gaze towards Han Shuo.

“Eh, you've prepared everything, why didn't you say that? We ruined our hospitality for no reason. ”Han Shuo had planned to take those items and leave, but saw that the parcels were packed in an orderly manner. There was a strange-looking piece of ore, contained in a clear flask, with the inscription “emas black” written on it. It seemed that Phoebe had long since prepared for her arrival and had not planned to go back on her words.

But what Han Shuo could not think of was because Phoebe did not plan to go back on her words, instead, why did he come with such an explosive temper and say that he did not plan on giving her anything. This was a bit confusing, and Han Shuo could not understand it.

“Give me your crystal card, I'll transfer the corresponding amount of gold coins to your card. Heh heh, I actually have no other meaning and just want to take back what I owe. ”Han Shuo smiled a bit awkwardly, but still stuffed this bundle of items into his outer space ring, then spoke to Phoebe, a bit shy .

Still not looking at Han Shuo properly, Phoebe had a cold face of arrogance and said stiffly, “No need. I'm not stingy like you. Only thirty-five hundred gold .. treat as a gift. Don't let me see you in the future, just get out! ”

Seeing that he was so sarcastic and mocking, Han Shuo's face froze and he nodded, slapping the piece of black iron ore he had mined the day before. He also said coldly, “I don't like to owe a debt of gratitude to strangers. Treat this ore as compensation I bought your other ores. Goodbye Miss Phoebe, I will not do business with you in the future. ”

Just as Han Shuo was about to leave the room firmly, Phoebe suddenly lost her composure and stood up, looking at Han Shuo with a puzzled expression. His wise eyes were full of weakness and fatigue. He spoke in a silent voice, “You will treat me as a stranger from now on?”

Shrugging his shoulders, Han Shuo said naturally and unhindered, “Since you don't care to treat me as a friend, I, of course, won't shamelessly force yourself.”

Turning his head to look at Phoebe, Han Shuo asked calmly, “Nona Phoebe, what other problems are there?”

Phoebe's expression was a bit strange. He lowered his head and thought in silence for a moment, but when he raised his head, most of the weakness and fatigue had completely disappeared. His direct gaze at Han Shuo made him feel very strange. He even curled his lips at the end and revealed a slight smile, asking, “Bryan, you mean you already consider me as a friend?”

Surprised, Han Shuo nodded and replied without further ado, “Of course, we have gone through two life or death experiences in the Boozt Merchant Guild, not to mention you have helped me on several occasions. I've considered You a friend, but You don't want to! ”

“Who said I didn't want to, huh? Regardless of the monetary transaction, are you so heartless towards all your friends? ”Phoebe's expression has returned to normal now and has some more traces of human interest compared to her indifferent and normal attitude, she said, and he used the same attitude he used towards Lawrence just now when talking to Han Shuo.

“Of course not.” Han Shuo replied.

Han Shuo could clearly sense that Phoebe's words had been absorbed sincerely and worriedly. He felt somewhat touched inside, and his facial expression became softer. After careful thought, Han Shuo felt that Phoebe's words should be fine. He frowned and said to Phoebe, “Then, what do you think I should do?”

“Remove Grover with me, otherwise we will never have a peaceful day!” Phoebe's charming face turned cold as she bit her words.

Pondering for a bit, Han Shuo suddenly felt that perhaps a sheltered life in danger was more suitable for him to break through. His life was too simple and monotonous before, perhaps an additional stimulus would make it more interesting. Add to what Phoebe said, if Grover's threat is not eliminated, he may actually be faced with endless problems.

After pondering for a while, Han Shuo said firmly, “Alright, I promise!”

“Then, accompany me to a private banquet held by the Guild tonight. Several founding elders will be present at this banquet. ”Phoebe's stunning face was delighted to see Han Shuo agree, and she immediately opened her mouth to ask.

“Eh, a banquet held by your Guild? What am I gonna do there? ”Han Shuo started and asked.

“Get goodwill from the other founding elders and take precautions against the old scheme. Bryan, I need your help, you just said that we're friends right? “Phoebe looked straight at Han Shuo and asked.

He suddenly felt that he was going to board a pirate ship and be taken advantage of, Han Shuo felt a bit strange. But he did admit that the two became friends earlier in line with Phoebe's intentions. He could not retreat now, and could only grit his teeth and agree.

Exclaiming softly, Phoebe said happily, “Excellent, wait a minute and I'll have someone matching a tuxedo that suits you. I also need to teach you some basic noble greetings. I've learned from Lawrence that you're from the Babylonian Academy of Magic and Power. Uh ... I think you might not be very experienced in such things. ”

Throwing an angry look at him, Han Shuo said, “I was a lackey, but that was in the past. There is nothing untoward about it and nothing that cannot be talked about! ”

“Sorry Bryan, I really didn't mean anything by that, really!” Phoebe was rather agitated and hurriedly apologized sincerely.

“Don't worry, tell me, I'll listen carefully!” Han Shuo waved his hand indifferently and hinted for Phoebe to begin.

“This, this is black iron ore!” It was as if he had just discovered it when Phoebe saw the black iron ore that Han Shuo had placed on the table. He looked at Han Shuo in surprise. “You really have black iron ore, it looks like you really want to forge the best weapon!”

“Of course!” Han Shuo responded firmly.

Phoebe gave Han Shuo an overview of the basic politeness of nobility. Han Shuo understood that in order to rise to a higher level in this world, he indeed had to have an understanding of such behavior. Therefore, he calmly listened to Phoebe's description and even tried to make some basic moves from the greeting according to Phoebe's demands.

When night fell, Han Shuo had already turned into a tuxedo that Phoebe had specially prepared for him and was completely cleaned up properly. He followed behind Phoebe and boarded the carriage to arrive at the Boozt Merchant Guild for the third time.

Many luxurious and luxurious carriages were parked in front of the door and the guards had been replaced. They were two unfamiliar faces to Han Shuo. When Phoebe and Han Shuo both got off the train, they walked in with easy experience without having to greet the guards. Phoebe led through two passageways and appeared at the entrance of the banquet hall.

“My nephew Phoebe, this is our Guild's private banquet, it doesn't feel right you brought it?” Grover's hand held a wine glass filled with quality wine at the door and happened to be conversing happily with the couple's obvious guild parents. When he saw Phoebe and Han Shuo enter, he first looked at Han Shuo angrily and then spoke to Phoebe.

“Uncle Grover, Mr. Bryan is not an outsider!” Phoebe thinned her lips and laughed lightly, glancing at Han Shuo with a hint of embarrassment as she explained.

“Oh? Then dear nephew, can you tell Me why he is not an outsider? ”Grover's eyes narrowed as he assessed Han Shuo with venomous eyes, like a snake, speaking sinisterly as he did so.

“She's my boyfriend!” Phoebe threw her head back, staring Grover directly in the eyes fearlessly as she said proudly.
