Han Shuo was even more startled. He had never thought that he would meet Emily here. There was no way he could explain the fact that Phoebe's hand was wrapped around his arm.
"This beautiful lady is the Master of the Boozt Merchant Guild." Cameron's expression became a little more reserved when he saw Emily appear and he spoke politely.
Emily's gaze was still focused on Han Shuo at that moment and she only remembered herself after Cameron started to speak. She glanced at Phoebe who was standing to the side and said weakly, "So you're Miss Phoebe."
"This is Madame Emily, she's from the Betteridge family of the Empire. Her husband is the second son of the head of the Betteridge family, Mr Hahn." Cameron looked at Phoebe and shed some light on Emily's identity for her.
The Betteridge family was a large family in the Empire, known for producing famous generals for the Empire. The Betteridge family had made many outstanding contributions to the Empire over the years, with Master Hahn now retired at home due to his advanced age. But no one dared question his influence in the military.
When she heard that Emily was from the Betteridge family, Phoebe's eyes lit up and she gave a friendly bow, "Greetings to Madame Emily.
"Hehehe, you're too polite. Eh, this young fellow is quite handsome, is he your boyfriend?" Emily had lost her composure earlier, but had now fully recovered. She chuckled and stared at Han Shuo questioningly.
Phoebe had noticed that Emily seemed to keep glancing at Han Shuo, but she didn't think much of it when she heard that Emily was already married. Now that she heard Emily's question, she immediately tightened her grip on Han Shuo's arm and smiled, "That's right, his name is Bryan."
"Hello, beautiful Madame Emily, nice to meet you." Han Shuo extended his hand politely and wanted to shake Emily's hand.
"It's very nice to meet you, you're very much like one of my friends!" A strange smile clung to the corners of Emily's mouth. She reached out and clasped Han Shuo's hand, but suddenly exerted pressure as their hands met, her fingers digging fiercely into the back of Han Shuo's hand as it faced the ground.
A wry smile suddenly appeared on his face, Han Shuo knew that Emily was definitely doing this on purpose. He grimaced and showed a pained expression. Emily's expression didn't change, but she was obviously in a better mood after getting her revenge. Relaxing her hand, she glanced at Han Shuo and Phoebe and said shyly, "I have to go somewhere else for now, can I talk to you later?"
"Of course!" Phoebe happily agreed.
Nodding, Emily sashayed away. Suddenly, she turned her head halfway back and threw a vicious glance at Han Shuo when Phoebe and the others weren't paying attention. She made a subtle 'come here' motion behind her back.
"Mm. I'm going to the toilet." Han Shuo understood Emily's meaning and leaned against Phoebe, whispering in her ear. Then he removed his arm from Phoebe's and left.
He first made a circle and then walked past a corridor and crept towards a pavilion. Han Shuo's vision could clearly pick up traces of Emily's path, even without using the original demons. He dodged a few people along the way and made his way to an artificial mountain that was a little out of the way.
He'd just entered the artificial mountain when a shadow suddenly came out of the darkness and grabbed Han Shuo's waist. The person spoke angrily in a low voice next to Han Shuo's ear, "How come you never told me you actually had a girlfriend?"
Han Shuo didn't even have to think to know that it was Emily. He turned the hand back to her and held her tightly, pressing her flush against the artificial mountain and running his hand over her cheeky bottom. His other hand went around her waist and he kissed her bright red lips.
"Eh... ooh..." Emily struggled twice, pounding furiously on Han Shuo's chest. However, she couldn't stop his invasion, and her own body slowly began to heat up and go limp.
Emily was wearing a brown evening gown today. The long, tapered dress clung tightly to her mesmerising figure. The curvaceous evening gown was tight at the bottom as it hugged Emily's long, slender legs. It looked like the lower half of a mermaid, adding to the slenderness of her body.
The breasts, which looked as if they were about to burst from the fabric, and a well rounded, perky bottom were firm and toned. They were also fully accessible under the dress, leaving nothing to the imagination and exuding a powerful allure. As she sashayed, Emily sent alluring rays of beauty everywhere, appearing to be an incomparably beautiful woman. Han Shuo had noticed that many of the men present were staring at Emily with a completely distracted look, staring so hard that it seemed their eyes were about to fall out.
"Say, what's with this Phoebe?" When they were finished, Emily bit off her words as she helped Han Shuo clean up.
Basking in his freedom from inhibitions and lying back comfortably with his eyes closed, Han Shuo leaned against the artificial mountain and explained the matters between him and Phoebe. Emily's face warmed up a bit afterwards, but she didn't let Han Shuo off the hook completely. She suddenly grabbed Han Shuo's lower body naughtily and said angrily, "Phoebe, that little chit looked so natural with her hand around your arm just now, she didn't look like she was pretending at all. I think things aren't that easy between you two."
His little brother having been caught, Han Shuo exclaimed in surprise. He hastily straightened his trousers and breathed a sigh of relief, mischievously explaining, "All right, all right, don't be jealous. We don't really have that kind of relationship."
"Bryan, are you here? I'm looking for you!" " The original demons detected Lawrence calling out loudly and approaching this area at this time.
"Damn, what is he doing here?" Han Shuo felt a shiver of fear as he and Emily hastily adjusted their clothes, fear written all over their faces.
Lawrence seemed to know that Han Shuo was here as he shouted and ran in that direction. When Lawrence was almost where they were, Han Shuo pointed in another direction and said to Emily, "Go that way, now!"
Emily was also completely confused as she pulled up her dress and stumbled out of there. When Lawrence finally appeared, he laughed merrily, "I asked people where you were and the butler said he saw you go that way. You were indeed here. Eh, who's that?"
Lawrence spoke with a smile as he saw Han Shuo and then suddenly caught a glimpse of Emily's back disappearing in another direction. He immediately exclaimed softly in surprise and looked at Han Shuo with a look of confusion.
"No, nothing. Uh, no, I don't know." Han Shuo had finally put everything in order and privately cursed Lawrence as a bastard. He stammered a bit incoherently as he opened his mouth.
Lawrence's expression was a bit strange as he glanced at Han Shuo a few times and suddenly said, "I just heard Phoebe say that you're her boyfriend and I was about to come and find you for a good chat. I happened to see a woman leaving, are you going behind my junior sister's back and coming here to rendezvous with another woman?"
"Haha, how is that possible, you must have seen it wrong or someone just happened to pass by." Han Shuo glossed over things and then changed the subject with a solemn face, saying to Lawrence, "How do you plan to proceed regarding Clark?"
Seemingly sensing Han Shuo's deliberate attempt to change the subject, Lawrence looked at Han Shuo strangely and didn't ask him any further. He said with a smile, "My father is hosting the banquet tonight and you're a guest. You should enjoy yourself. Let's not talk about such dirty work."
Lawrence's words happened to coincide with Han Shuo's thoughts. He walked out with a faint smile, "Alright then, let's go back to the banquet hall."
Nodding, Lawrence didn't say much more as he left the area with Han Shuo and walked back to the banquet hall.
At some point, a melodious song had begun to play as many of the guests outside had entered a large lobby. Some of these people began to dance gracefully to the rise and fall of the music. Those without partners, or who were not interested, stood alone on the periphery.
In the distance, Phoebe's expression looked rather irritated as she impatiently dealt with Cameron's conversation. Next to Cameron stood another madame with a disdainful, cold smile on her face. She seemed to be saying something to Phoebe that made her expression get uglier and uglier.
"What's going on?" Han Shuo asked Phoebe with a frown as he and Lawrence walked over.
"Oh, this little thing is your boyfriend? Heh heh, he's just an ordinary student at the Babylon Academy of Magic and Strength. How would he measure up to Mr Cameron's wealth? Oh, are you paying for that little thing's tuition? That would be very interesting! This older lady was dressed in luxurious clothes and jewels, and seemed deathly afraid that people wouldn't know she had money. Her features were medium, but her body was curvaceous to the point of being exaggerated. She looked a little bloated.
"Huh? Who's this old granny?" Han Shuo gave this older lady a surprised look as he walked over and called out to Phoebe.
"Pfft." Phoebe covered her mouth and couldn't help but laugh. Then her face regained its composure as she said, "She's Madame Valerie of Lielan Garments."
"Impudent thing, with which eye did you see an old granny?" Valerie was beyond angry as she put her hands on her hips and glared at Han Shuo.
Pointing to his left eye, Han Shuo said, "This left eye. He then pointed to his other eye and continued, "This right eye."
A trace of a delighted smile curved Phoebe's eyes as she came over and tenderly hugged Han Shuo's arm and said to Valerie, "He's just so blunt, I'm really sorry!"
As a swordmaster, Phoebe's own strength was unquestionable. However, she was not adept at verbally sparring with others and couldn't bear to let go of her face to do so. However, with Han Shuo at her side to start things off, she didn't mind going with the flow and adding fuel to the fire.
"Old Granny, you're already at an advanced age. You should stay at home and enjoy the little time you have left. What are you doing out there, showing your face? Besides, the difference in our ages is simply too great for us to be able to communicate. If you're really that lonely, you should find someone of your own age to communicate with!" Han Shuo ignored Valerie's anger and sneered viciously. He then pointed at someone in front of him and said, "There, you should communicate with that old gentleman. You can flirt with him and maybe experience some old love!"
There was an elderly man with white hair holding a stick in the direction Han Shuo was pointing. He was sitting on a chair not too far away, slowly drinking wine.
Valerie looked at the old man and was so angry that her cheeks were red. The two meatballs in front of her chest swayed back and forth as she turned to stare at Han Shuo angrily, unsure of what to say.
Following Han Shuo's gaze, Cameron, Phoebe and Lawrence all looked at the old man at the same time. Phoebe laughed lightly and secretly pinched Han Shuo, seeming to admonish him for making fun of the elderly. Cameron looked at the old man and turned his head, telling Valerie in a low voice not to be angry.
However, when Lawrence looked at the old man,His expression suddenly changed as he looked a little shocked and surprised. Eventually he revealed a strange, crooked smile.
"Little guy, I heard you talking crap about me from afar." The old man suddenly turned at that moment and looked at Han Shuo with bright, piercing eyes, speaking in a resonant, carrying voice.
