Chapter 285
Her name was Risque and she was the leader of this branch of the guild. She was wearing a long gown that had a long slit along the left leg. Han could see that she didn’t have a weapon on her, so she must either be someone that was really strong or she was a [Nightwalker] that could produce her weapons from anywhere. The woman was extremely beautiful and her breasts were a bountiful 35D! Han couldn’t stop his eyes from trailing down her body and he had to admit that this woman is very beautiful. She dresses a lot like Dorea did in the void all those years ago. I can say that she is almost as beautiful as Dorea, but that would be a lie.
The woman smiled at Han specifically.
“I’ll take it from here, Xylon. You can just attend to the other adventurers. A man of his caliber has to receive special treatment,”
Risque spoke in a sultry voice that would have made any man swoon! Han narrowed his eyes in annoyance. It seems this woman is a full-fledged businesswoman. She’ll probably keep trying to lure me closer with this attitude to see if she can make me loyal to this guild. It would become annoying if I try to just shove her off. Let’s just play along for now till I have that badge.
Risque motioned for Han to follow her and he led the rest of his team to follow behind her.
Rau looked very out of his depth as he made sure his sister stayed behind him. Right from that time when he felt Han release his bloodlust, Rau has started to wonder if it was a good idea to make friends with someone like this. He first thought that Han was just a very strong white star and he wanted to get close to him, but now Rau and his sister know that Han is definitely a black star! In the entire temple, there are only two black star adventurers and they are the number eleven and twelve in the ranking system! This man is probably one of them! He is someone that is just below the kings!?
You shouldn’t find it strange that Rau and his sister never even entertained the thought that Han could actually be one of the kings. No really, what the fuck? What would a king even be doing here in the first place? There is no way a king would bother to lower themselves to the level of adventurers!
The group entered a private room and they were led to seat down on a couch there. Risque walked over to a bar and poured out two drinks. One for her and one for Han. She walked over to Han and she bent down deeply as she dropped the drink in front of him and looked up at him from under her long eyelashes! Rau felt a nosebleed coming as he saw her cleavage in full view in front of him! Her breast is huge! Grey frowned and pinched him on the side as she caught him looking.
Han didn’t show any sort of reaction at all. It might look like Risque was trying to seduce him right now, but he could easily tell that she was just trying to see what was under his hood. If he moved his head at all she would be able to see more of his face. Tch. I just knew she would end up being annoying.
After a while of Han not making any moves, Risque clicked her tongue silently as she sat down and grabbed her own drink. She really wanted to see what his face looked like so she would be able to tell if she has seen him before. She hasn’t seen any black stars before and she doesn’t want this one to get away from her! She would have used one of her eye skills, but she knows that a black star would be able to tell if she does that and she has no plan of antagonizing someone that is on the level of the kings! Those monsters have been seen destroying entire floors before with only one skill! And this man is on their level! I’m not a fool that will make him my enemy!
Risque took a sip of her drink and then she began to talk to them.
“So I couldn’t help but hear they you wanted a guild badge to go to floor sixty-three. For someone of your caliber, something like that is a strange request. In fact, you’re the first person I’ve ever heard asking me for that when they are this strong. Is there maybe a reason behind this request?”
Risque tilted her head to one side and rest her chin on her closed fist as she stared at Han and hoped he would give an answer. She couldn’t force him and she sure as hell knew she wasn’t the one with the power here. She was just trying her luck to see if Han was a talkative type. But sadly, he didn’t give her a response at all. The atmosphere in the room just became more and more awkward as Risque waited for a response and Han constantly ignored her until she was forced to cough into her fist and clear her throat as she moved on.
“Okay, I suppose you aren’t interested in telling me about that. But I have to at least know if you have been a part of any of the other adventurer’s branches before. With all the issues happening on the lower floors, a lot of adventurers are moving from there up here and we have to keep track of all of them,”
Han shook his head to say that he wasn’t a part of any of the groups from the lower floors. But he became curious about what Risque was talking about. Is it concerning his fight? It might be beneficial to know what others think about those fights. Especially since I’m trying to take over all of them. Han finally spoke up and Risque perked up as he asked a question for the first time.
“Can you tell me what problems you’re talking about? Is it really that bad on the lower floors?”
Risque sighed. It was a deep sigh that showed just how much endless stress she has been through! She has been drowning in work ever since that new king came to this temple. In fact, all the adventurers have been drowning in work. They were all just spectators in the battle between the kings, but it is impossible to move freely nowadays because no one knows where the next battle will happen! It was stopping anyone from feeling safe!
“There’s a rumor going around lately that the new king has gone rogue. I don’t know how true it is and you surely didn’t hear anything coming out of my mouth, but they say that the newcomer in the temple, King Han, is trying to take over all the other kings and rule over them all. He already got two of the kings killed in this short time! Even King Troy fell to this newcomer! Can you believe it!? We all believed that King Troy will eventually become the strongest in the temple and look how easily he fell!”
At the end of her speech, Risque was only talking in a low voice and she made sure that no one from outside could hear them. In a building with so many people who have super hearing, they give a new meaning to the saying ‘the walls have ears!’.
Han leaned back and tried to take all of this in. So they are saying he is a rogue king. Is it because I killed Freya? I know that I haven’t done anything that goes against the treaty the kings signed. When I attacked Quinthreath, he wasn’t a king and when I killed Troy, it was because he broke the treaty first by attacking Ai. The only reason for me to even have such a bad reputation is because of Freya. Han clicked his tongue. Annoying bitch. Even when you’re dead you still cause me problems.
Risque couldn’t see Han’s expression but she hoped he was satisfied with her answer.
“You know, the people that have seen the new king are very rare. Only soldiers have really seen him and the adventurers that have seen him tend to exaggerate a lot about his appearance. But from what I heard, they say he’s like a large barbarian with a long mustache that carries a large sword,”
“Pfft!!!”
Han immediately glared at Gregory as Gregory couldn’t stop himself from letting out some laughter! Gregory put a hand to his mouth immediately after he heard the description! A barbarian!? Gregory immediately imagined Han carrying around a large sword while shouting and swearing at the top of his voice.
“Pfftha!! – Gah!!”
Crack!
That was the sound of Gregory laughing again before Han dug his elbow into Gregory’s rib! Gregory’s entire body bent to the side as Han’s elbow threatened to kill him! I heard a rib crack! You hostile bastard!! Do you want to kill me!? You have to hold back when you do that!!
