Chapter 1263: Chapter 1262: The Scepter That Once Halted Slaughter

Ruby Scepter!

In a past life, Gu Tong had seen it countless times, and she had even asked Han Shang about the significance of the scepter’s existence.

At the time, Han Shang didn’t respond directly, but said, "The Killing Stopped Scepter! It was once a scepter that halted slaughter, and it is also the Sicuro Mafia’s heirloom."

...

An heirloom indeed.

If it were something this important, how could the old patriarch have taken it away...

Could it be that the old patriarch once went to the country of Y, stole someone else’s heirloom, and then hid it away?

The corners of Gu Tong’s mouth twitched a couple of times, retracting all her imaginations about the enigmatic patriarch of the Li Family. Because this patriarch of the Li Family had a character that no one could fathom, never playing by conventional rules; after endless speculations, his actions might still not correspond to his behavioral patterns.

’Rip--’

Beckett pulled open the tent door.

He respectfully said, "Little Boss, the time is almost up."

Initially, Han Shang had arranged for them to rest on the spot, including eating and waiting, for roughly about an hour. Now the time had clearly exceeded much more, so Beckett had no choice but to come and urge once.

Han Shang glanced at him, his purple eyes didn’t pause but fell onto Gu Tong, saying, "Let’s prepare and set off!"

Gu Tong pressed her lips, not saying a word, yet there was somewhat of a tacit acknowledgment.

Beckett placed his left hand on his shoulder in a respectful salute, saying, "I will go prepare at once."

As the chief trainee, he was particularly aware of what he should do, or what he should say.

If he couldn’t do these, he simply had no qualification to remain by Little Boss Han Shang’s side!

To know, guarding Little Boss of the Sicuro Mafia was no joke. His identity was well known, and very unexpectedly filled with danger.

As the chief trainee, he must stay vigilant at all times, and also have the ability to transform danger, in addition to covering his eyes, to bear all of the Little Boss’s emotional changes, solving his troubles and worries.

This is the duty of the chief trainee and what Beckett should be doing.

’Rip--’ Beckett acted as if he hadn’t seen anything, pulled open the tent, and went out to arrange matters.

Inside the tent, Han Shang and Gu Tong were once again left alone.

For some reason, the atmosphere in the tent with just the two of them became a bit strange.

They said nothing, standing at their original spots.

Gu Tong pressed her lips, saying, "I’ll go find Xia Xi!"

That scoundrel Xia Xi went out to eat, or rather, was ’persuaded’ by Han Shang to ’go out to eat!’ Now Gu Tong going out to find her could be considered a reasonable and appropriate excuse.

Han Shang glanced at her, speaking in a calm voice, "It’s like you’re unwilling to be with me!"

Gu Tong: "..." It’s more than just unwilling; it’s very unwilling...

Han Shang pressed his index finger against his thin lips, his tone even, "Should I say you’re selfless in public affairs, or heartless and unfaithful? Just now when discussing business, you were quite enthusiastic!"

"..." Unable to use idioms, can you not mess around with pulling them...

Heartless and unfaithful, is it appropriate to use that for their relationship...

Gu Tong raised an eyebrow, saying very seriously, "The land deed is still with Xia Xi, I want to decipher it."

This counts as an explanation perhaps.

It was also her way of providing herself with a perfect and appropriate reason to go out.

If she couldn’t persuade Han Shang, he absolutely wouldn’t let her leave this tent.

Han Shang’s index finger naturally slid down to his chin, he chuckled softly, "Miss Xue Tong, such trivial matters, how could they trouble you; I’ve already arranged for subordinates to handle it."
