After leaving the Death Cemetery, Han Shuo and Emily went their separate ways. As a senior member of Dark Curtain, Emily still had a mission to carry out and could not stay by Han Shuo's side all the time.
Having been away from Babylon Academy of Magic and Martial Arts for so long, Han Shuo rather missed Fanny. But now that things had happened with Emily, he did not know how to face Fanny. After a moment's hesitation, he decided not to return to the academy right away and headed for the Buster Trading Company instead.
Han Shuo had asked Phoebe to help find the materials needed to refine the Earth Armor Zombie. So much time had passed that he ought to ask whether she had gathered them. Besides, some of the treasures from the Forest Trolls' Holy Land in his Spatial Ring could only be disposed of through Phoebe. He also had to arrange winter provisions for the Forest Trolls and Dwarves, so a visit to Buster was necessary.
After the incident with Glover, Phoebe had taken control of the Buster Merchant Guild. Following several visits, everyone in the Buster Trading Company recognized Han Shuo.
This time, the guards let Han Shuo straight in without even announcing him. As he walked toward the sitting room, he suddenly heard Fubin'en scolding a servant in one of the rooms. "Your father spent gold to get you in here. You must work hard. Otherwise, even with my position in the company, I won't be able to protect you."
"I understand, Uncle," another voice familiar to Han Shuo answered obediently.
At the sound of that voice, Han Shuo quickened his pace in delighted surprise. When he reached the door, he was too excited to knock and pushed it straight open, startling Fubin'en inside.
