Chapter 291

The members of white rose were all cleaning the cave at different spots and no one even notice the king hiding in the shadows. But it was a single woman that noticed it first! She was cleaning behind the alter while grumbling about why they have to do something like this every month! She is a gold star so shouldn’t she be planning on how to go to higher floors!? She didn’t come to this guild to be a glorified caretaker!! But then she saw a glint shine in the shadow.

She looked up in shock to see a sword right in front of her! She almost jumped back with a shout but a hand grabbed her by the mouth with extreme power and ran her through with the sword in one go! She was dead before she even hit the floor!

The sound of her hitting the floor drew all the attention in the cave towards Ratte and he looked up at all of them with a glare. The leader of the white rose guild immediately recognized that he couldn’t feel any power coming from Ratte, just like he couldn’t feel any power coming from Han, and he was about to tell everyone to run but it was already too late.

Ratte didn’t know who the people in the cave were and he also had no idea that the leader of the white rose guild was one of them. He just knew that he couldn’t let them escape to report to Han. He will have to find another place to hide once he is done here, but killing them will give him more time!

Darkness surrounded the entire cave as Ratte used a nightwalker skill and then Ratte began his purge! Not a single person escaped that day!

Ratte was a coward and he was terrified of Han. But even a coward King is still a king. No one but a king stood a chance against another king!

.....

Han and Gregory managed to get the badges from Risque without a problem. Risque asked Han if he would be willing to come back another time since he was now a part of their guild and Han told her a straight ‘No’. There really wasn’t any point in him coming back here. He will probably never even see any of them again after today. Why should he be bothered to come back?

Gregory shook his head at Risque. She should stop trying to make Han fall for her like this. He has eight wives, two of who are Celestials!! What the hell hasn’t he seen in a woman’s body!? He has seen it all! If she wanted to get into Han’s heart she should have tried some other means instead of just get body. Maybe attract him with your intelligence? I have no idea what exactly Han is attracted to nowadays so I can’t really tell. I can understand him accepting Yana because it was his duty, but he said he rejected Freya even though she was that beautiful.

Gregory was still a bit slow with his emotions so he didn’t see any reason for Han to refuse a beautiful woman like Freya if it was just sex. He has no idea how much Han hated women who feel entitled because they had beautiful bodies.

The two of them left the guild and went back to the portal after Rau and Grey promised they would stay for some time when Risque asked them to. Han asked Risque why they couldn’t use the second portal that they just released but Risque told them that it would take a few days for them to inform the city soldiers that they have killed the Kraken and finalize the rewards and everything else. She wanted Han to stay until they finalize the rewards but he just told her that Rau and Grey could have it all. He didn’t have any need for money since he had too much of it already and Gregory was terrible at handling money.

“I saw someone here but he already left! I don’t think we can find him on this floor again! Send a message to floor sixty-three if you want to have a meeting with him! He should be getting there right now!”

The superior clicked his tongue. Floor Sixty-three is still having a tense atmosphere because of that civil unrest. He can’t just tell them someone like King Han is coming there. It will cause a mass panic! He has to find a way to salvage this! The superior quickly thanked her before he cut the line and scurried off! Risque groaned once the call was cut off. She had no idea that man was a King! She would’ve treated him with more respect! But wait, she registered him as one of her adventurers when she gave him that guild badge! She registered a king as one of her adventurers! Risque felt a lot of pride as she thought about it. She might never see Han again, but no matter what she can always brag that a king is an adventurer in her guild!

Risque groaned again as she remembered that Han was hiding his identity for a reason. He’ll probably kill me if I tell anyone about that!

Han wouldn’t have killed her and he wouldn’t even mind if she told people about it, but Risque didn’t know that and so she never said a word.

...

Han and Gregory finally arrived at the sixty-third floor and they landed on a long Chinese styled bridge. The bridge was very wide and there were a lot of people moving along it. Some merchants and sellers were trying to sell to the many people there and some soldiers were also moving around.

Han nodded to Gregory and they both began to walk into the floor. It seems that Rau was right when he said this floor was a peaceful one. Han couldn’t see a single person that was tense here. They all seem so relaxed!

It is usually possible to get the most information about a place just by walking along the street and so Han kept his ears sharp as he listened to what the people around him were saying. There wasn’t much to get from most of them, but one conversation caught his attention quickly.

“I heard someone say that something is wrong in the palace. They said something about the king going missing,”

“Stop saying things like that. We haven’t stopped receiving the support that we get so why won’t the king be there? You are just imagining things!”

“No! Just listen! He said that no one has seen the king for almost a week now! Don’t you think it’s suspicious at all! He never leaves for that long!”

“Hey, you better keep quiet about this. Just pack in two Radishes for me and stop gossipping about things you don’t know about – !!!”

The person that was talking suddenly stopped talking once he felt a shadow cover his body! He turned around in shock and he almost shit himself when he saw a cloaked man standing there! Is this a Nightwalker assassin!?

Han rolled his eyes. I’m not that scary, am I?
