Chapter Seventy-Eight: Bloody Battle in the Deep Alley
"Shut up, don't spew blood, my eldest brother and I have a deep affection, how could you do such a thing, good niece, how did you find such a boyfriend who doesn't know the general situation, uncle really feels sorry for you!" Grover's face immediately changed, he stood up suddenly, slammed the table, and roared.
With his expression as usual, Han Shuo chuckled lightly and said, "Everyone knows that Phoebe, as the only daughter of the president, should be the most qualified candidate to succeed the president, if she is assassinated, who will benefit the most?"
"The matter of our Buster firm, when is it the turn of an outsider to speak. Phoebe, you should take care of this outsider who doesn't know anything. Grover glared at Han Shuo fiercely, then turned his head to Phoebe and said.
At this time, Phoebe had calmed down from the previous panic, she had always maintained a superficial harmony with Grover, who knew that Han Shuo had no scruples, he was so-for-tat at the beginning, and almost immediately tore his face with Grover, disrupting all her steps, making her not know what to do for a while.
However, when Han Shuo and Grover refuted each other, Phoebe thought about it and felt that Han Shuo's approach was also refreshing. Because of Han Shuo's actions, her Phoebe attitude was clearly displayed in front of these elders, and it also made the elders see that she Phoebe was not a weak person who didn't want to fight.
It's just that now is not the time to weigh gains and losses, since Han Shuo has already made such a sharp statement, Phoebe has no way to redeem it even if he wants to, and immediately said confidently as soon as Grover's words fell behind: "Yes, Uncle Grover, I think I can be qualified to be the president of the firm."
Although I have been traveling abroad all these years, my father has never given up teaching me, and the knowledge I have learned is also related to running a business house, which has been arranged by my father a long time ago, I hope that my uncle can support me, if I have any shortcomings, you can also teach me, I am confident that I can take care of the business house. ”
"A good niece's courage is commendable, but this kind of thing is not a child's play, a careless word can send the business house into a situation from which it will never recover, and the uncle is cowardly and cannot afford this kind of responsibility. Now that he had torn his face, Grover no longer hid it, and said with a gloomy face.
At this time, Andrew suddenly stood up tremblingly with a cane, and said in a harmonious voice: "There is no point in arguing like this, so let's let Xiao Phoebe try it first, if the business house is in her hands within three months, it can develop smoothly, then Phoebe will be the president, otherwise it will still be Grover, what do you think?"
When Andrew said this, all but the three patriarchs who leaned towards Grover agreed. Andrew waited until all these people voted, then looked at Grover with a smile and said, "Since the majority agreed, I want to leave it like this for the time being, what do you think?"
Even if he didn't want to, most of the elders of the merchant house now agreed, but Grover felt that he couldn't change it, so he could only bite the bullet and reluctantly say: "Since this is the case, then do what your old man wants." ”
Nodding, Andrew smiled and said, "Okay, I still have some things, so I'll leave first." Oh, little Phoebe, it's been a long time since I've seen you, if nothing else, you can come to my house with me to talk!"
"Okay, I was just about to ask Grandpa for some experience in managing a trading house!" Phoebe stood up with a smile, put down the wine glass, and glanced at Han Shuo, without even looking at Grover, and walked directly out the door.
Han Shuo put down his wine glass clearly, showed a disdainful sneer towards Grover, who was staring at him with a cold face, and followed behind Phoebe and walked out of the hall as well.
As soon as she left the firm, Phoebe looked around at no one and whispered to Han Shuo, "You go back to my residence first, I'll talk to Grandpa Andrew for a while and then rush back, and we'll talk later!"
"Hehe, little Phoebe, your boyfriend is very bold. Actually going toe-to-toe with Grover in the hall, I think you have a good eye!" Andrew stood on the side of his carriage, looking at Phoebe and Han Shuo with a kind face, and said with a smile.
With a flushed face, Phoebe glanced at Han Shuo and whispered, "Be careful on the road." Only then did he walk towards Andrew and said coquettishly: "How can there be, he is so stupid that he doesn't know how annoying he is!"
Han Shuo didn't continue to listen to the conversation between the two, nor did he take the carriage that came with Phoebe, but walked alone to the north of the city.
At this time, it was already late at night, and there were almost no pedestrians on the road, and when Han Shuo had just left the Buster Firm, he didn't feel any danger, but when Han Shuo shuttled through the road and had just walked into an alley, he suddenly became vigilant.
As soon as the Yuan Demons left Han Shuo's neck, they immediately turned into nothingness, leaving no trace in the darkness, lurking to the side from three directions.
Suddenly, it seemed that there were a few more pairs of eyes, and in addition to the front of him, Han Shuo could see clearly even the situation behind and to the left and right of Han Shuo. The Yuan Demon who was refined by using magic skills did not have a trace of fighting energy and magic fluctuations on his body, and in the case of the void state, it was basically difficult for the naked eye to detect the traces, so the departure and lurking of the Yuan Demon did not alarm anyone at all.
Behind Han Shuo, the high-level mage of the wind system, Ellis, who he had seen last time, had a body fluttering like a wisp of ghost, hanging silently behind him. On the rooftops of the alleys on the left and right, four killers dressed in black and covered their heads, silently following behind him, were slowly approaching him.
Shocked in his heart, Han Shuo didn't expect Grover to be so bold, he had just left the business house with his front foot, he had already already started, and it seemed that he really hated himself.
At this moment, when it was at stake in his life and death, Han Shuo suddenly calmed down, and there were a total of five people coming. In addition to Ellis, a senior mage of the wind system, the strength of the other four people is not weak, according to the observation of the Yuan Demon, Han Shuo found that the four of them are two warriors, a mage and an archer, this time if it is not for the Yuan Demon to monitor their whereabouts at any time, Han Shuo will definitely be unable to escape death.
However, now that he has the Yuan Demon, although Han Shuo's strength does not take advantage of it, it is not without hope of escaping. Because on the way here, Han Shuo already knew that not far in front of the alley, there was a mansion of imperial garrison officers and soldiers not far in front of the alley, and the reason why Han Shuo chose to walk from this dark alley was also because of the mansion in front.
After thinking about it quickly, Han Shuo understood that these people could only do it in this alley, otherwise once they waited until they crossed this alley, they would have no chance. The space ring lit up slightly, the dagger had already been held in Han Shuo's right hand, and Han Shuo walked forward without hurry, always paying attention to the enemy's movements according to the snooping of the Yuan Demon.
Finally, when Han Shuo walked halfway through the alley, the five killers, including Ellis, seemed to think that it was all right, and the speed of approaching suddenly accelerated.
A slight sound of an arrow breaking through the sky suddenly fell into Han Shuo's ears, this arrow was extremely sharp, and as soon as it appeared, it shot quickly into Han Shuo's back heart, and it was extremely ferocious.
This arrow came from a professional archer, the angle was very tricky and ruthless, if it weren't for Han Shuo's clear observation of his movements through the Yuan Demon, I'm afraid that just this arrow would kill Han Shuo on the spot.
The pace that was originally unhurried suddenly accelerated, but instead of rushing forward, it retreated to the left. With a "whoosh", the arrow slashed through the corner of Han Shuo's clothes, and suddenly roared and rushed forward.
In front of Han Shuo, this arrow suddenly shattered, and several sharp wind blades had already been released by Ellis, as if waiting for Han Shuo to subconsciously drill into it, but unfortunately Han Shuo noticed it earlier and avoided it.
At the same time, the top of his head suddenly brightened, and a wall of fire suddenly formed, covering Han Shuo below. The two agile figures, carrying the long sword in an instant, flew down from the roof, the pale cyan and dark cyan fighting aura, under the illumination of the wall of fire, Han Shuo could see it clearly.
Suddenly accelerating, Han Shuo's speed soared instantly, slamming around from the left side, and then dodging the obstacle of Ellis's Wind Blade and flying towards the exit of the long alley. As soon as Han Shuo left the same place, the wall of fire smashed down, and where he had stood before, sparks sparked in the sky.
No matter how they imagined it, they didn't know that Han Shuo had already seen their whereabouts deliberately hidden through the Yuan Demon. The attack they originally thought was absolutely unexpected, but in fact, Han Shuo had already seen it, and this caused the five people with extraordinary strength to actually fail in the first wave of attacks.
"Can't let him get out of this alley alive!" Ellis's soft voice, deliberately sharpened, suddenly sounded.
The archer and another fire mage, standing on the rooftops on either side of the alley, attacked almost simultaneously as Ellis spoke. After the three arrows were grabbed by the archer, they were pulled on the longbow and fired out with a "whoosh", shooting quickly towards Han Shuo's forehead, back and thighs.
In front of Han Shuo's galloping front, another wall of fire suddenly formed, blocking Han Shuo's way, forcing Han Shuo to take a detour, otherwise it would be difficult to escape the burning of the wall of fire.
The two swordsmen who had just fallen, taking advantage of this time, were approaching quickly with their swords, only ten meters away from Han Shuo, Ellis did not touch the ground, and also came quickly from behind, obviously intending to leave Han Shuo here.
On the side of his body, Han Shuo changed direction again and went around in the direction to the right, intending to bypass the wall of fire and rush out of the long street. Several wind blades roared in, everything was also expected by Han Shuo, the dagger in his hand swung rapidly, and five wind blades were slashed by Han Shuo's dagger, but there were still three wind blades that slashed across Han Shuo's thighs and arms.
This is because Han Shuo knew in advance that Ellis had arranged the wind blades here, and only three wind blades were hit when he was prepared, otherwise the ten or so wind blades hit the vital point, and I am afraid he would never be able to step out again.
Fighting for injuries to his thighs and arms, Han Shuo rushed out of the attack of the Wind Blade, and at the same time avoided the fire wall and the shooting of the arrows, and rushed towards the mouth of the alley like lightning, having already escaped the second wave of attacks, and was about to rush out of the long street.
At this moment, a terrible scream suddenly pierced the silent sky. Han Shuo, who was running, suddenly found the archer with the help of the Yuan Demon, the longbow in his hand was broken in two, and the corners of his mouth fell weakly from the roof with blood, where he was just staying, Phoebe stood majestically and proudly with a long sword in his hand.
"Filipino...... Phoebe, you're actually a swordsman!" Ellis, who was hooded, forgot to change his voice because he was excited, and exhaled in surprise using his original voice, and then did not greet the others, Ellis's body that was rushing quickly suddenly stopped, suddenly turned around, and fled back at a faster speed.
Phoebe snorted coldly, and didn't chase after Ellis who escaped, after all, if a wind mage escaped with all his might, it would indeed be very difficult to catch up. With the long sword in his hand raised, Phoebe, who was standing majestically on the roof, lightly fell towards the two warriors below, apparently planning to take care of the remaining few people first.
At this time, Han Shuo, who was already about to rush out of the long alley, suddenly turned around with joy when he saw Phoebe suddenly appear, opened his mouth to summon the little skeleton, and walked quickly towards the two warriors.
Previously, Han Shuo was running for his life with all his might, so it was difficult for the little skeleton to come out and play much of a role, but now with the existence of Phoebe, a sword master, Han Shuo had changed from a prey to a hunter, and the little skeleton should naturally appear to kill the enemy.
After the little skeleton carrying the bone knife appeared, under Han Shuo's order, the lower leg bone ran quickly. The seven bone spurs in his back fanned and rushed to the roof with a "whoosh", trying to kill another fire magician.
This fire-based magician was startled, and he never thought that the little skeleton would be able to jump directly onto the roof with the help of momentum. In the panic, he immediately recited the spell, and a wall of fire burning with raging flames reappeared, completely blocking the path that the little skeleton had to pass.
However, the little skeleton didn't care about the obstacles of the fire wall, and rushed directly into the fire wall, and when the little skeleton turned red and walked out of the fire wall, the fire magician was stunned, and he had already arrived in front of him, and the bone knife in his hand was waved, and the fire magician was directly barreled into a hornet's nest.
