Novel Bin Chapter 430 - 430: Punishment
“What are you doing?” Despite how arrogant and domineering shaman An Duo was, he was a little flustered by now.
He owed his current comfortable life to his subordinates.
If those people no longer trusted him and obeyed him, with his own strength, he was actually a paper tiger without any lethality. With just a gentle poke, he would fall apart.
He was frustrated. How could he have been so careless?!
Since he had enmity against Mo Rigen and the others, why did he come over without preparation? He didn’t even bring a few soldiers to protect him!
Wasn’t this like a lamb entering the tiger’s den?
“I’ve already said that I just want to talk to you about the cooperation.” After Gu Han walked over, he sat in the main seat and looked at the dissatisfied tribe leaders without any guilt.
“As everyone knows, I’m being pursued by my brother now. If he wants to kill me, I can’t just wait for death, right?
I know you want to say that with Zadeh’s strength, we won’t be able to resist!
Originally, I thought so too. It wasn’t until I was seriously injured and saved by the goddess that I realized that Zadeh wasn’t the northern barbarians’ future king at all!
He stole a position that should not belong to him!
Besides, my father is still alive, but he’s been imprisoned by Zadeh.
“What I want is for everyone to contribute their manpower and attack the Imperial Court with me. I want everyone to save my father and chase out Zadeh, who attempted to kill his father and brother!”
Gu Han spoke nonchalantly, but their expressions were unpleasant.
Of course, they knew that Zadeh obtained the position through improper means!
But what else could they do? Now that he had power, it was only a matter of time before he succeeded the throne! If they resisted him now, the consequences…
“Do you want to live a life like this for generations to come? Think about it again. How many nobles in the Imperial Court are born to enjoy such a life?
Those are the spoils from me and my father waging wars.”
Gu Han wasn’t angered by the whispers of doubt and continued to persuade them.
“I can promise you guys the same benefits my father once promised.
However, there’s something I have to say in advance.
As the saying goes, wealth and danger are intertwined. If you want to obtain benefits, you have to pay the price!
I admit that I’m indeed inferior to Zadeh in terms of strength, but don’t forget that I have the protection of the goddess! Just based on this, I think I have an advantage over Zadeh!
Besides, Zadeh’s bloody massacre in the entire Imperial Court had made everyone in the Imperial Court panic. Even the two nobles who had once supported him had their entire families wiped out by him!
How long are we gonna let him continue?
Moreover, even if he can obtain the throne, are you really willing to entrust your future to a lunatic who only knows how to commit murder?”
It had to be said that Gu Han’s persuasion was very useful.
At least, when Gu Han left the tent in the end, there was much less rejection in their eyes.
They were all smart people, so they naturally knew what choice was more beneficial to them.
However, An Duo wasn’t the kind of person who would do as he was told. Fortunately, be it Mo Rigen or Gu Han, they didn’t underestimate him. That was why drugged shaman An Duo, so that they had the upper hand from the beginning.
This way, no matter how capable he was, he probably couldn’t do anything to them in front of everyone.
However, just because he couldn’t do anything didn’t mean he couldn’t say anything.
Shaman An Duo was good at beguiling people to begin with. In order to survive, he racked his brains to dissuade everyone by telling them how high the risk of entering the Imperial Court like this was.
When Gu Han saw that An Duo was constantly making sarcastic remarks, he suddenly felt that it wasn’t a good idea to keep him here. Therefore, when he reached the entrance of the tent, he stopped in front of shaman An Duo. Without another word, he grabbed An Duo’s collar and took him away.
“Gu Han, where are you taking me?” An Duo was a little flustered.
Previously, when he was with others, he didn’t think so, but now that he was brought out by Gu Han alone, he felt that he might be directly killed as Sacrifice-
Thinking of all kinds of possibilities, An Duo was terrified. Therefore, when Gu Han brought shaman An Duo to the place he had previously agreed on with Lin Suisui and Lu Ze, he couldn’t help but put on a fearless expression as he glared at Gu Han. “Kill or torture me however you want!”
“Tsk, who wants to kill you?” Gu Han could see the fear in shaman An Duo’s eyes at a glance. He snorted in disdain and pulled shaman An Duo, who was unable to move because of his limp body, forward. “Let’s go. You’ll know why I brought you over when we reach there!”
Although shaman An Duo was already filled with despair, when he was really brought out by Gu Han and tied to a pillar that had been erected at the side at some point, he panicked.
An Duo struggled as he begged Gu Han, “No, you can’t treat me like this! I don’t have any enmity with you. I won’t listen to Zadeh’s orders in the future. I’ll be loyal to you,okay?
Please, let me go. Let me go!”
However, Gu Han didn’t respond. Instead, he crossed his arms and took a few steps back. As he sized up the women who had rushed over at some point in time with wood in their hands, his mood immediately improved.
“We don’t have any enmity, but can’t you think of what kind of blood feud you have with this tribe?” Gu Han turned around and reminded shaman An Duo kindly, “So, who gave you the courage to barge in alone?”
