Chapter 196: Was Brought Into the Auction By His Niece!
Shen Fa nodded and said, “That’s right, it’s that woman. She is now a Royal Great Mage, and she successfully broke through tier-7 not long ago. She can be said to be extremely powerful in the Imperial City.”
Su Han asked, “Why did Vivian invite you to the Imperial City?”
Shen Fa sighed and said, “A few years ago, Vivian received news of the First Prince’s son from G.o.d knows where. She led people to search for him, but in the end, they could not find the child. After she returned to the Imperial City, she immediately launched a purge. All the major forces that had been hostile to her along the way were suppressed by her.”
Listening to Shen Fa, Su Han fell into deep thought. When he had gone to the Imperial City, he had spent most of his time with Lilia looking for those who carried the laws of fate. He had not paid much attention to the situation in the Imperial City.
Because he was in the Mage Alliance, he did not need to care about these things.
Shen Fa said sadly, “This woman’s ambition is too great. After the incident with the Divine Treasure, her ambition has already been exposed. But in the Imperial City, with the ident.i.ty of the Second Princess and her ident.i.ty of a Great Mage, even Princess Lilia can’t do anything to her.”
“I’m afraid she called me over this time because of her so-called big matter.”
Su Han and Ruth fell into silence.
“The situation in the Empire is very delicate now. His Majesty the Emperor doesn’t have much power anymore. The entire Empire is divided into two huge forces,” Shen Fa said sadly. “Because of the matter of the First Prince’s son, Vivian is now being used as a pretext to make a fuss. She urgently needs someone who can stabilize the situation, so she thought of me.”
Su Han said expressionlessly, “Senior Brother, are you really going to help her?”
Shen Fa sighed and said, “As you know, I have always valued friendship and loyalty. Although she doesn’t have much interaction with me, she is my junior sister after all. When Junior Sister is in trouble, as her senior brother, I naturally can’t be arrogant.”
Ruth said coldly, “You are still boasting. With your temper, sooner or later, you will be cheated to death.”
Shen Fa said angrily, “Little girl, do you believe that I’ll ask your father, Luberg, to teach you a lesson?”
Ruth turned her head and said expressionlessly, “You’re kind and loyal to outsiders, and you’ll give them whatever they want. But you don’t listen to your G.o.ddaughter’s request, do you?”
Shen Fa said, “No!”
“Then help me get rid of that black robe in the city first. With your strength, you’ll be able to capture them easily.”
Ruth was expressionless. As she spoke, she glanced at Su Han.
However, Su Han also joined in the jeering and said, “Yes, Senior Brother. That Executioner is really crazy!”
Shen Fa said without changing his expression, “We’ll talk about this when I return. G.o.ddaughter, you have to take care of your little uncle while I’m away. I’m very worried that the Executioner will find trouble with my junior brother. If he gets injured while I’m away, I’ll hold you responsible!”
Ruth widened her eyes and said with a frown, “I’m busy with official business. I won’t do it.”
Shen Fa said with his eyes closed, “Then I’ll take down your position as the commander of the corps later. Naturally, you won’t be busy.”
Ruth was so angry that she gritted her teeth.
Su Han looked at Shen Fa and Ruth with the corner of his mouth twitching slightly. He had already vaguely sensed that his senior brother’s intention in arranging this arrangement. His senior brother had already begun to doubt his ident.i.ty.
However, even if his senior brother really did know his ident.i.ty, he would not do anything to him.
He even dared to help someone as troublesome as Vivian. Naturally, he would not take his actions seriously.
In the afternoon, Shen Fa waved goodbye to them. He rode on the strong wind and flew toward the south.
Ruth took Su Han for a stroll in the city.
Su Han crossed his shoulders indifferently and walked slowly. Ruth didn’t look well. She turned around and glanced at Su Han.
Su Han smiled and said, “Niece, what’s there to see?”
Ruth frowned and said, “Although I haven’t seen you for a long time, I remember you!”
Su Han still smiled and said, “You really misunderstood me. The things in the past have nothing to do with me.”
“Whether it has something to do with me or not is not up to me to decide. You must… come and cooperate with the investigation when you have time!” Ruth said with a frown.
Although she said so, in her heart, she had already marked Su Han out as a suspect because her G.o.dfather would not tolerate a criminal.
And there was nothing in the entire Saint Laurent City that her G.o.dfather did not know.
Moreover, this guy was the student of her father, Luberg.
Su Han nodded repeatedly. “Of course, of course. It’s only right to cooperate with my niece in investigating the case.”
After a long time, she pa.s.sed by the Skywind Chamber of Commerce and saw people coming and going inside. She couldn’t help but frown and say, “Have you heard about the matter of the Werewolf Guild?”
Su Han smiled and said, “Of course.”
Ruth said expressionlessly, “I suspect that the Skywind Chamber of Commerce is closely related to the destruction of the Werewolf Guild. It’s really too much of a coincidence. On the second day after the Werewolf Guild was destroyed, the Skywind Chamber of Commerce obtained a large number of the Werewolf Guild’s properties and shops through Nova’s illegitimate son.”
Su Han nodded and said, “Yes, the suspicion is too great. Why don’t you arrest them and bring them to justice?”
Ruth frowned and said, “It’s not as easy as you say. A case needs evidence. Even if there’s a serious suspicion, if there’s no evidence, casually using such a huge force would have an impact on the situation in Saint Laurent City, and it would be very huge.”
Su Han smiled and said, “It’s really troublesome.”
Ruth pulled Su Han into the Skywind Chamber of Commerce and strolled around. She casually looked at the goods around her and asked, “What’s your current level?”
Su Han looked at the ceiling and said, “Tier-3. I’m only 18 years old now, okay?”
Ruth stood up and pulled Su Han to the auction house, saying, “Then I’ll buy some good things for you.”
Su Han had no choice but to follow her into the auction house. The people from the Skywind Chamber of Commerce knew him.
When they arrived at the auction house, they saw that the auction was in progress. There were many people inside. Ruth looked at the Magic Enhancement Potion being auctioned on the auction stage, she said expressionlessly, “Although I don’t like the Skywind Chamber of Commerce, they do have some good things for sale. Since you’re a tier-3 mage, the Magic Enhancement Potion is useful to you.”
Su Han was about to stop her when she reached out her hand and said, “I’ll give you 10,000 gold coins!”
As soon as she said that, all the n.o.bles in front of her turned around and looked at her in astonishment. The people around her quickly made a s.p.a.ce for her.
Su Han slapped his forehead and shouted in his heart.
“Is that Ruth? Oh my G.o.d, I actually saw that Valkyrie here!”
