Shaking his head, Han Shuo answered, “I’m sorry. I already have a woman, and I love my woman.”
Delia’s face dimmed when she heard those words. She silently hung her head for a moment before lifting her face again and said stubbornly, “I, Delia, have never had any man before. Only you have been powerful enough to make me lose my resolve. Whether or not you have a woman, I want to become your woman.”
Han Shuo was flabbergasted. He looked at Delia’s stubborn face, the face of a woman who didn’t seem to know the meaning of defeat. His first thought was that either this woman had been feted by the gazes of adoration of the mountain men for too long, or maybe her standards were too high. It seemed like she was setting her mind on her own objective, regardless of his willingness..
Han Shuo himself wasn’t a gentleman who could control his desires with a beautiful woman sitting on his lap. Otherwise, there wouldn’t have been Emily and Phoebe, and Fanny whom he was obsessed with. Of course, Han Shuo was a horny male that had to mount every woman he saw. A demonic practitioner like Han Shuo wouldn’t have any scruples about the secular constraints. As long as he was genuinely interested in a woman, he’d throw all morality to the wind.
Delia’s body was extremely tempting, her face was also very beautiful. Han Shuo didn’t deny that he had lusted for her beauty. However, that was all it was, lust. If he wouldn’t have had to take responsibility after having sex with her, he would’ve have taken her without hesitation.
However, anything had its limits. If Delia persistently wanted to be with him, but he only stayed at Brettel City long enough to toy with her, only to abandon her afterwards, then the thirty thousand mountain men here would be unwilling to let go of this matter. Han Shuo also didn’t want to poke at this kind of hot potato.
“Hehe, I really do have, and not just one.” Han Shuo first explained a little before continuing, “Honestly speaking, I only have a bit of interest towards you. However, it’s just the interest a man would have towards the body of a beautiful woman, not the kind that you feel. Since I have made it straightforward, you should understand what I mean right?”
“What? You have more than one woman?” Contrary to Han Shuo’s expectations, Delia didn’t care too much about the implications of his words. She only asked to make clear about the first sentence with surprise.
Han Shuo nodded, inwardly pondering if Delia would sprout nonsense. However, as he thought about it, this matter would be exposed sooner or later, so he didn’t deny it. Han Shuo answered with a nod, “Mhm, there is indeed more than one. So what of it?”
“Then that means you won’t mind having me as another one! I’m willing to be one of your women. It’s still better than being the sole woman in the heart of a mediocre man.” Her eyes gleaming with excitement, Delia continued, “I knew it. A man like you can’t just have only one woman. Adding me in should be no problem right?”
Han Shuo’s eyes and mouth were wide open in shock at Delia’s words. He inwardly thought that the mountain women were unexpectedly bold and straightforward. Even someone as free as Han Shuo, who’d always done whatever he wanted, found this attitude hard to digest.
Delia still wanted to discuss this matter in detail, while Han Shuo was set on finding the materials to refine the metal elite zombie. Not knowing how to respond to Delia, he responded directly, “Let’s discuss about this later. For now, I still have no interest in you. I’ll consider your proposal when I’m interested you. Alright, I have some matters to take care of, so I’m going first.”
Han Shuo shot towards the sky right when he finished his speech. His magical yuan circulated to emit an aura that placed him on high over the entire world, and he turned into a black streak of light that disappeared into the clouds without a trace.
Delia watched with infatuation as Han Shuo’s flying posture gradually disappeared into the horizon. She revealed a resolute smile, firmly nodding her head and whispering to herself, “I’ll definitely make you fall for me. My Lord, keke, only a man like you can make me submit from the bottom of my heart!”
Of course, Han Shuo didn’t hear these words. He flew all the way to Brettel City and looked for little fatty Jack, giving him the list of materials needed to refine the metal elite zombie, saying, “Acquire these materials for me. Use the Boozt Merchant Guild or whatever merchant guild, just get me these materials as soon as possible.”
“No problem!” Possessing a mountain of gold coins, Jack replied a hundred percent of his lung power. He was projecting an extraordinary spirit that screamed ‘Consider it done!’. When he finished those words, he added, “Oh, right, Dick was looking for you.”
Hearing that Dick was looking for him, Han Shuo parted ways with Jack. He went to the Dark Mantle stronghold in Brettel City. Dick was normally there. He really did find Dick there after arriving at the Brettel City’s Dark Mantle stronghold. The latter was processing and organizing some intelligence on the seven grand duchies sent back from his subordinates.
Seeing Han Shuo abruptly come in, Dick quickly stood up to salute with surprise. He then sat down and asked with a smile, “My Lord, what have you come here for?”
“I heard from Jack that you were looking for me. Did something happen?” Han Shuo asked Dick as soon as he sat down.
There were only six members, including Dick, in this secret stronghold. However, Han Shuo knew that there were absolutely more than six Dark Mantle members here in Brettel City, but they were usually scattered across the city or the seven grand duchies. They were all covertly spying about or carrying out a secret mission.
They wouldn’t come here if there were no special circumstances. Only when they acquired an accurate intel or successfully completed a mission, would they come to report to Dick. Dick originally hadn’t had enough manpower. However, when Han Shuo had arrived here, Candide had rearranged some members into Brettel City to be under Han Shuo’s direct command.
All of the Lancelot Empire’s secret activities were singlehandedly managed by Candide. Even Brettel City, located at the extreme east of the Empire, was under his control. As Candide’s most outstanding underling, Han Shuo also had the right to manage the personnel network of the Dark Mantle in Brettel City in addition to being the Brettel city lord. Dick was naturally under Han Shuo’s jurisdiction.
“My Lord, I looked for you because I’ve acquired some information, just that you weren’t in the mansion at that time. I didn’t expect you to personally come find me. The honor truly frightens this little one.” Dick himself also sat down with a smile before explaining to Han Shuo.
“Alright alright, less nonsense. What actually happened?” In private, Han Shuo and Dick never put up their master-servant act.
Dick chuckled and let out a cough. He then said with a solemn expression, “We may just have a big problem this time. All of the seven grand duchies have come to a truce. According to the information our people sent back, the grand dukes of all seven duchies will have a secret meeting at a mountain valley. We have no way to know the content of the meeting, but I’m sure it’s about how to deal with us.”
The seven grand duchies had been tirelessly at war without the threat of Brettel City. However, now that the Brettel City had revealed its ferocious, domineering momentum, it naturally became the major threat to the seven grand duchies.
The seven grand duchies were all split from the Vanerdun Dynasty. A hundred years ago, the royalty had fought among each other in the battle for the throne and split the Vanerdun Dynasty into seven duchies. Afterwards, they had gradually became today’s seven grand duchies. When there was no foreign enemy, they found joy in invading the other grand duchies to obtain more benefits. However, they could be considered family in nature, all seven grand duchies would once again turn into a tight knit group in the appearance of a common enemy.
The Lancelot Empire hadn’t clearly understood this situation last time and was tempted into invading the seven grand duchies. Ultimately, the seven grand duchies had allied to beat the Lancelot Empire into retreat. Also from that event, Brettel City had fallen into a slump, reduced into a worthless existence.
“It seems the seven grand duchies now consider Brettel City a new threat. Hehe, we should be proud. Brettel City’s population doesn’t even touch upon a hundred thousand, far less than any of the seven grand duchies. I didn’t think they’d think so highly of us.” Han Shuo smiled coldly at Dick.
“My Lord, the seven grand duchies absolutely can’t be taken lightly. They can’t be compared to ordinary bandit groups. They are a true army. Not only do they possess complete sets siege equipment, the quality of their soldiers is also very high due to their constant infighting. They are even one notch stronger than the standard army of the Lancelot Empire.” Dick smiled wryly as he explained to Han Shuo, “In addition, each duchy has at least thirty, forty thousand soldiers on standby, not to mention many private armies of the local aristocrats. You can try calculating the total amount of their army if they mobilize all of them. If the combined force of seven grand duchies really come to Brettel City, I’m afraid their number of soldiers would probably be double that of our population. We absolutely cannot underestimate them!”
“Rest assured. I already have a plan. I won’t let them ally together.” Han Shuo laughed sinisterly as he responded to Dick.
Shaking his head, Han Shuo answered, “I’m sorry. I already have a woman, and I love my woman.”
Delia’s face dimmed when she heard those words. She silently hung her head for a moment before lifting her face again and said stubbornly, “I, Delia, have never had any man before. Only you have been powerful enough to make me lose my resolve. Whether or not you have a woman, I want to become your woman.”
