Aisha saw through Han Wu in a single glance.
“Miraculous mber of the Divine Civilization, why did you wish to see ?” she asked.
Han Wu was thrown off. Her piercing gaze made him feel as though he were stripped naked.
“I have a mission here in the Angel Civilization: to request the glorious Seraphim to fulfill a trade as agreed. You have an agreent with the White Ma—” Han Wu coughed. “Sorry, I ant the Comrce God King. I’m here to take the shipnt of Angel Elixir with .”
“You work under Xiu Lian?” Aisha asked, eyeing him curiously. Han Wu had never heard this na before, but she evidently picked up on his confusion as she added, “The Comrce God King’s na is Xiu Lian.”
Han Wu swallowed down his laughter at the feminine na. Pulling out the contract for Aisha to read, he explained, “I don’t work under him, but we have a contract that involves assisting him in the retrieval of the Angel Elixirs.”
Aisha sensed that the contract indeed contained the presence of the White Mane God King.
“I’ve verified the truth of your words, but I cannot give you the Angel Elixirs,” she said with a shake of her head.
Han Wu hadn’t expected Aisha to go back on the agreent. After all, she had already accepted money from the Comrce God King, only to say that she wouldn’t send out the shipnt. How could she go back on the agreent like that?
“It’s not because I don’t want to,” Aisha clarified. “The conditions to ship it just aren’t favorable at the mont.”
Han Wu was perplexed.
Aisha took out a small bottle of Angel Elixir in lieu of an explanation. Picking up the bottle, Han Wu was shocked to find that it was actually extrely heavy—roughly 50 kg!
Although the bottle only contained a single drop of Angel Elixir, the energy within it was incredibly dense and could allow a King life form to beco a Sage life form with a single sip.
“Try keeping it in your divine realm,” Aisha prompted.
Han Wu did as she suggested and was shocked to find that he couldn’t. When he attempted to force it through, the space in the divine realm cracked, unable to bear the weight of its energy. A rift ford and pulled in the bottle, permanently destroying the Angel Elixir.
“That’s fine.” He scoffed. “Even if I can’t store it in my divine realm, I can always just carry it with .”
It would undoubtedly be tedious, but as long as he delivered the Angel Elixirs to the White Mane God King, then it would be his victory.
Aisha chuckled. “There are 3000 bottles. How will you carry them? Even if you could, there’s a high chance they’ll shatter while you’re crossing the chaotic battlefield. Can you bear the cost?”
Han Wu frowned. 3000 bottles were equivalent to almost 150,000 kg of cargo. While he could likely do it, it would also cost him his ability to fight.
The results of being pulled into a conflict while on the battlefield would be catastrophic. However, dawdling was not an option either. Han Wu needed to get them back within the stipulated tifra, lest the White Mane God King take Jiang Ming away.
After mulling it over, he proposed, “I would like to request that Aisha have an escort squad of angels protect . I’m certain that the angels could protect adequately while I take these Angel Elixirs back to the Divine Civilization.”
Aisha had to admit that Han Wu was clever. It was certainly easy for her to assign him an escort squad. She only needed to give the order, and the angels would swarm toward her estate to do it. Many would even do it for free. But how would he protect the goods while passing through demon territory? They were sworn enemies, and the demons would attack them on sight.
Han Wu took out Night Terror’s emblem. Aisha frowned at the demonic presence on it but said nothing. After all, Han Wu was from the Divine Civilization. There was no reason he couldn’t befriend demons.
“I can gather a squadron of angels to protect you, but I have a condition. The manager of the auction house told that you could supply every angel in Yenom with a crystal. My condition is for you to supply every angel in the Elden family one of those crystals before you leave.”
Han Wu found himself in a dilemma. He had told the manager the truth, but he still needed ti to rge those Light Stones. The clock was ticking on his deadline. Creating a crystal for every angel in the Elden family was not sothing he had ti for.
As he prepared to refuse her request, Aisha interrupted. “I only have this one condition. If you disagree, then Xiu Lian will have to co and take the shipnt of Angel Elixir himself.”
With that, Aisha turned to leave, not even bothering to wait for his reply. Han Wu watched as she disappeared into the estate.
Why is she intentionally making it difficult for ? he inwardly grumbled. Is it because she’s a Seraphim, or is it because of her upbringing? Could she be working with the White Mane God King to cause trouble?
Han Wu didn’t have much ti to fulfill Aisha’s condition. He needed to get the Angel Elixirs back as soon as possible. Racking his brains for a plan, he walked out from the Elden estate in a daze.
As he walked down the street where he was attacked yesterday, he noticed eleven angels wearing hooded cloaks. He turned to escape, but an invisible barrier blocked him.
The Luke family invested a lot of money in this Earthsunder-level barrier just to kill him. Trapped, he had no choice but to fight head-on. They were likely after his life, aning he had to kill all eleven of them to escape.
As his enemies were preparing to attack, a powerful presence suddenly swept by, destroying the barrier.
It was Aisha!
The eleven hooded angels fled in a panic. Han Wu wanted to pursue and interrogate them, but they were simply too fast.
Han Wu turned to thank Aisha with a smile, but she rely replied that she was safeguarding the future of the Elden family. Listening to her, Han Wu felt as though he had married into the family.
