Chapter 707 - 192 Gui He Shows His Might
Night was gradually falling, and Gui He still hadn’t uttered a word.
The Dragon King couldn’t help but sigh inwardly; hence he put down the letter he was handling and spoke, "I understand your intentions, but if you insist on this, the pressure you will face will be much greater than mine."
Hearing this, Gui He knew he had passed the test imposed by the Dragon King and immediately stood up to bow respectfully, "Thank you, Lord Dragon King."
"Don’t thank me. This is all I can do. That human cannot stay in the Battle Beast Hall any longer. Take him out tomorrow, better to move him out of the capital, and don’t make things difficult for your father-in-law."
"I understand." Since Gui He and Chang Xin had established their man-woman relationship, he had gradually entered the power group constructed by Shi Chong’an and had successfully become the commander of the Seventh Army, controlling eight hundred thousand beastmen and running a powerful faction.
However, all of Gui He’s power came from the Shi Family. If the Shi Family were to abandon Gui He, everything he now possessed would vanish like smoke.
And regarding Bodo’s handling, that was the only point of disagreement that Gui He had with the Shi Family through the years.
Many of the Shi Family elders hoped to extract from Bodo, through torture, the secrets behind the sudden rise of human warriors.
Of course, Gui He was unwilling to hand over his sworn brother to them, but to save the Xiao clan’s younger generations surrounded by a hundred clans, Gui He could only first persuade the royal elders, enticing them with the secrets about the rise of the human race, and after some operations, by their direct interventions, pressured the hundred clans, thus taking over the war and successfully rescuing Bodo.
But as soon as Bodo was brought back, the mighty ones of the Shi royal family became restless, flocking to Gui He’s door to demand Bodo, but were all rejected by Gui He.
This act was indeed seen as a betrayal by the Shi royal family. However, Shi Changxin and Shi Feiqing firmly stood by Gui He’s side, so it was kept under wraps.
But this morning, Shi Chong’an brought significant news: the Shi clan’s strongmen started allying with other beast clans, intending to dissect the secret.
