Chapter Seventy-Six: He's My Boyfriend
"Senior Brother Lawrence, you come with me, I'll give you what you need!" After Phoebe sneered at Han Shuo, she didn't speak when she saw Han Shuo, she just drank one sip after another with a bitter face, and seemed to feel bored, so she couldn't help but say to Lawrence.
Before leaving, Fei Bi glared at Han Shuo with hatred in her eyes, paused for a moment, and said, "If you're not in a hurry, wait for me for a while." ”
Han Shuo glanced up at Phoebe and clearly felt Phoebe's suppressed anger, remembering that his Demon Slaying Edge still had to rely on her, he immediately nodded helplessly.
Phoebe took Lawrence and walked to the side, and when Fu Bin saw them leaving, he looked at Han Shuo extremely strangely and asked in surprise: "Brian, you are actually just a handyman at the Babylon Demon Martial Academy. Oh my God, but you have such a high level of strength, what's going on?"
"There's nothing going on, by the way, this Lawrence is our Babylon Warrior Academy, an ordinary mid-level knight, but Miss Phoebe has the strength of a sword master, how can the two of them have a master?" Han Shuo was very puzzled in his heart, and asked Fu Binen.
Although it is said that knights and swordsmen can cultivate the same fighting spirit, but they are both masters, Lawrence is only an intermediate knight, but Phoebe has the strength of a swordsman, and the gap between the two is too big, especially from the mouths of the two, Han Shuo heard that Lawrence is the senior brother and Phoebe is just a junior sister, which makes Han Shuo feel even more strange.
"I don't know very much about Miss's situation either. I used to be just a Buster firm, an inconspicuous little character, but I heard that before the president died, the young lady was studying abroad, and only occasionally came back once or twice a year, if it wasn't for the sudden death of the president, Miss Phoebe probably would not have suddenly stayed.
This Lawrence has only recently appeared in my sight, and the relationship between them seems to be good, but I can't answer the questions you asked. Fu Binen looked at Han Shuo apologetically and explained.
As soon as he said this, Han Shuo didn't ask any more questions, nodded his head, frowned and thought about it.
After a while, Phoebe and Lawrence stood in front of the door again. Phoebe looked at Fulpinn and ordered, "Fulbyan, you can help me send one to Senior Brother Lawrence, I have something to talk to Mr. Brian alone!"
"Yes, Miss!" said Fulbin, standing up and walking to the door.
"Brian, it's a pleasure to see you here, and if you still want to earn a few coins, you can always come to me. Still, I don't think you need to, okay, goodbye Brian, I think we'll meet later. Lawrence glanced at Han Shuo meaningfully, chuckled and walked outside with Fu Binen.
As soon as the two of them left, Fei Bi walked in with a cold face, glanced at Han Shuo after sitting down, and snorted softly and said, "You still dare to see me!"
"Why don't you dare?" Han Shuo raised his eyebrows, stared at Phoebe's eyes without showing weakness, and said, "I didn't do anything wrong, not to mention that you still owe me something, as long as you give me the promised materials and black gold ore, I will leave immediately, and I will not ask you to do any business in the future!"
"Smack!" Phoebe slammed the table, glared at Han Shuo angrily and said, "You, you still have the face and I want something, damn it, you violated me, it's polite enough that I didn't kill you!"
"Nonsense, you and I were both taken by aphrodisiacs at the beginning, or I pulled you away from the Buster Firm, otherwise you would have been finished. What's more, I haven't really done anything to you yet, otherwise I wouldn't have carried you into the river!" Han Shuo was also really angry, and secretly said that he had worked hard all night, not only did he not catch a single thing, but he was also beaten by her, not to mention how much Yanagi Hui was at the beginning, this Phoebe actually kept catching this matter, did he really want to repay the debt?
"Qiang!" Phoebe unsheathed her long sword and glared at Han Shuo angrily, Han Shuo also slammed the table, and immediately stood up, glaring at Phoebe fiercely, as if she was going to fight on the spot if she didn't say a word.
The two of them stared at each other, and after maintaining this posture for nearly a minute, Fei Bi pouted, and inserted the long sword into the scabbard again with a "bang", and stopped looking at Han Shuo, and said coldly, "What do you want?"
"It's very simple, I will buy the other materials according to the price you offered, and return the black gold ore owed to me, and the accounts of the two of us will be written off. We're not going to have anything to do with each other in the future, and I'm not going to continue to do any bullshit deals with you. Han Shuo sat down with a gloomy face, drank the water from the cup in front of him in one gulp, and said crisply.
"You hateful snob, give it to you, give it to you, get out!" When Phoebe heard Han Shuo say this, her heart was furious for no reason, and there was irrepressible anger in her expression, and she looked a little irritable and took out a large bag of things from her spatial ring, and after putting it down with a "snap", she was directly pushed in front of Han Shuo, her eyes glaring at Han Shuo fiercely.
"Uh, you're all ready, why didn't you say it earlier, it hurt the harmony in vain. Han Shuo was going to take the things and turn around and leave, but when he saw that the bag of things was placed in an orderly manner, a strange piece of iron and stone was contained in a small transparent bottle, and the bottle had two small words "Ugin" written on it, it seemed that Phoebe had already prepared it, and he had no intention of repaying the account at all.
However, what made Han Shuo puzzling was that since Phoebe obviously had no intention of repaying the debt, why did she smell so much gunpowder as soon as she entered the door, and she bluntly said that she didn't plan to give him anything, which seemed inexplicable, making Han Shuo unclear.
"Give me the crystal card, and I will transfer the gold coins that should be given to you into your crystal card. Hehe, I don't mean anything else, I just want to get back what belongs to me. Han Shuo smiled a little embarrassed, but he still put the bag into the space ring first, and then said to Phoebe with a smile.
Still looking at Han Shuo not properly, Phoebe looked cold and arrogant, and said in an unfamiliar tone: "No need, I'm not as stingy as you, isn't it just three thousand five hundred gold coins, just give it to you as Miss Ben, don't let me see you in the future, get out!"
Seeing that she was still sneering and scolding like this, Han Shuo's face froze, he nodded, and with a "snap", he put down a piece of black iron ore mined the day before yesterday on the table, and said indifferently: "I don't like to owe strangers favors, this piece of black iron ore will be regarded as compensation for my acquisition of your other ores, goodbye Miss Phoebe, I will not do any business with you in the future." ”
Just as Han Shuo was about to leave the room with a resolute expression, Phoebe suddenly stood up out of shape, looking at Han Shuo with a confused expression, her wise eyes were full of weakness and exhaustion, and she said to Han Shuo sadly, "Stranger, you treat me as a stranger?"
Shrugging his shoulders, Han Shuo said in a dashing manner, "Since you don't regard me as a friend, of course I won't stick it to you so shamelessly." ”
After saying this, Han Shuo smiled and walked out of the room. But before Han Shuo could go out, Phoebe suddenly exclaimed, "Wait!"
Glancing back at Phoebe, Han Shuo asked calmly, "Miss Phoebe, what else is going on?"
Phoebe looked a little strange, lowered her head and was silent for a while, when she looked up, the weakness and exhaustion on her face just now had actually disappeared for most of it, and the gaze that looked directly at Han Shuo made Han Shuo feel very strange, and finally Phoebe also pursed the corners of her mouth, revealing a faint smile, and said, "Brian, you mean, you already regard me as a friend?"
Stunned in his heart, Han Shuo nodded, and replied as a matter of course: "Of course, we have experienced two existential dangers in the Buster Trading House together, not to mention that you have helped me a little, I already regard you as my friend, it's just that you are not happy!"
"Who said I wasn't happy. Hmph, apart from money transactions, are you so ruthless to your friends?" At this time, Phoebe's expression actually returned to normal again, and she was a little more humane than her usual indifference, treating Han Shuo with the same attitude she had just spoken to Lawrence.
"Of course not. Han Shuo replied.
"Very well, since we are friends, I have something to tell you. Phoebe looked sincere, thought for a moment, stared at Han Shuo and said, "Brian, the last time we assassinated Darnell and Yuna, Grover thought that you did this, and he joined forces with the 'Afterimage' to search for your origin, when you told him that your name is Brian, I don't think it will be long before his affairs in the Babylon Demon Martial Academy will be known to him, unless you leave the Babylon Demon Martial Academy and abandon Brian's name and live a different identity, you will have endless trouble." ”
Phoebe's words, revealing sincere worry, Han Shuo could clearly feel that there was some warmth in his heart, and his face softened, after thinking about it carefully, Han Shuo thought that Phoebe's words should be fine, and after frowning, he said to Phoebe, "So, what do you think I should do?"
"Come with me, get rid of Grover, or we'll never have peace!" said Phoebe with a cold face.
After pondering for a while, Han Shuo suddenly felt that the life of danger seemed to be more suitable for him to break through himself, the life he had lived before was too monotonous, maybe it would be more interesting to stimulate it. In addition, according to Phoebe, if Grover's threat is not removed, he may really have constant trouble.
After a deep groan, Han Shuo said firmly, "Okay, I promise you!"
"Then, tonight, you will accompany me to the private banquet held by the Buster Firm, and some of the elders of the firm will attend this banquet. Seeing Han Shuo agree, Fei Bi's pretty face was overjoyed, and she immediately spoke.
"Hey, what am I going to do at the banquet held by your Buster Firm?" Han Shuo was stunned for a moment and asked.
"Win the favor of the other elders, beware of the calculations of the old things, Brian, I need your help, you just said, we are friends, right?" Fei Bi stared at Han Shuo directly, and asked.
Suddenly there was a feeling of being on a thief ship, Han Shuo felt strange in his heart, but he did follow Phoebe's intention and admitted the friendship between the two before, and there was no way to regret it at this time, so Han Shuo had to bite the bullet and agreed.
With a soft snort, Phoebe smiled and said, "Great, you wait a minute, I'll have someone make you a fitting dress." I'm also going to instruct you on some of the basic etiquette of the nobility, just now I already know from Lawrence's mouth that you are from the Babylon Demon Martial Academy, uh...... I guess you're not very good at that. ”
Glancing at Fei Bi angrily, Han Shuo said, "I'm a handyman, but it's already in the past, there is no one to see, what is there to say!"
"I'm sorry, Brian, I didn't mean anything else, really!" Phoebe couldn't help but be a little worried when she saw Han Shuo like this, and quickly apologized sincerely.
"It's okay, you tell me, I'll listen carefully!" Han Shuo waved his hand absently, signaling Phoebe to start quickly.
"This, this is black iron ore!" As if she had just discovered it, Phoebe looked at the black iron ore that Han Shuo had placed on the table, looked at Han Shuo with a look of surprise, and asked, "You actually have black iron ore, it seems that you are planning to forge the best weapon!"
"Of course!" Han Shuo replied affirmatively.
After that, Phoebe told Han Shuo about the simple etiquette of the nobility, and Han Shuo understood that if he wanted to climb to a higher level in this world, these necessary etiquettes really needed to be mastered, so he was honest, listening to Phoebe's story, and trying to do some basic etiquette actions according to Phoebe's requirements.
In the evening, Han Shuo changed into the dress that Phoebe had specially prepared for him, but he also looked like a dog, followed Phoebe behind, and rode a carriage to the Buster Trading House for the third time.
Many palatial carriages were parked in front of the door, and the guards were changed again, and they were two unfamiliar faces from Han Shuo. When Phoebe and Han Shuo got down from the carriage together, they didn't need to be greeted by the guards, they walked inside with ease, and after Phoebe led the way through the two corridors, they appeared at the door of the banquet.
"Niece Phoebe, this is a private banquet for our trading house, it seems a little inappropriate for you to bring him in, right?" In front of the banquet, Grover was holding a goblet full of fine wine, and was chatting and laughing with several obviously wealthy business veterans, after seeing Phoebe and Han Shuo coming, he first glanced at Han Shuo with resentment, and then said to Phoebe.
"Uncle Grover, this Mr. Brian is not an outsider!" Phoebe pursed her lips and chuckled, glanced at Han Shuo with some shyness, and explained.
"Oh, so good niece, can you tell me why he's not an outsider?" Grover said with narrowed eyes, small eyes like poisonous snakes, looking at Phoebe.
"He's my boyfriend!" Phoebe said proudly, looking at Grover with her head held high.
