Chapter 2240. Ice Blue Power
“Han Sen, you can still turn back from this,” Ice Blue Knight King said gravely.
Han Sen didn’t answer, though. Instead, he kept thinking.
Ice Blue Knight King had no personal vendetta against Han Sen. Actually, considering their mutual connection with Yisha, Ice Blue Knight King shouldn’t have been hostile towards him at all. And on top of that, Bai Wei was supposed to be taking Han Sen to the Extreme King very soon. There was no reason for Ice Blue Knight King to attack him now. This was going against the will of the Extreme King’s ruler, and thus, it could be considered a most grievous crime.
As he thought about it, Han Sen could only pin it on the stone tablet that was in his possession. Edward had even used the Ancient God statuette to try to get his hands on the stone tablet.
“If Ice Blue Knight King knew about the stone tablet, he would have attacked me already. Why would he have waited until this very moment? He must have just learned about this, and only Edward knows that I took the stone tablet. But if that is the case, what would prompt Edward to suddenly tell Ice Blue Knight King that I have the stone tablet?” Han Sen thought, racing to figure it out. “Right, it has to be because Bai Wei now wants to take me away. Edward must know that there is nothing he can do to stop me. Telling Ice Blue Knight King would have been his last resort.”
“It looks like this stone tablet is worth more than I thought. Even Ice Blue Knight King is willing to go against the king’s decree by trying to keep me here. If they are that desperate to get me to stay, perhaps the stone tablet only works here. Otherwise, they could think of a way to get it back once I’m with the Extreme King. They would have to be incredibly motivated to go against their own ruler’s commands with such a reckless plan.”
Han Sen raised his head to look at Ice Blue Knight King high in the sky. He could have already killed Han Sen had he wanted to. With the man’s power and reputation, he probably could’ve murdered Han Sen and gotten away with it.
Perhaps he had stayed his hand because of his memory of Yisha. Maybe he didn’t actually want to hurt Han Sen, and all he wanted was that tablet.
But Han Sen didn’t want to give up the tablet, so there was a conflict of interest. If Han Sen handed the tablet over, Ice Blue Knight King would stop coming after Han Sen. Whatever the case might be, it didn’t seem as if he’d stop unless he got the tablet, and he would get it no matter what.
