"What happened?" Han Shuo could hardly believe it. Trunks now had the strength of a Great Swordmaster. In all of Sun Radiance Valley, perhaps the only person who could beat him in single combat was Loretta, the Berserker who could go berserk three times. But even Loretta should not have had the strength to kill Trunks alone.
Trunks was cautious and knew the terrain around Sun Radiance Valley intimately. Nothing should have gone wrong, yet now he had disappeared. This truly surprised Han Shuo.
"After leaving Janet's place, he vanished for four days straight. When he doesn't have a mission, he never stays away that long. Even if he wasn't coming back, he should have sent a message, but this time there was nothing. We sent people to ask Janet, and she told us that Trunks had indeed left her place. He had a dozen or so of our men with him, and they've all disappeared too," the Black Dragon Gilbert explained to Han Shuo, looking troubled.
Han Shuo frowned and thought for a while before asking, "Has Trunks had any trouble with any of the factions lately?"
"Ten days ago, Trunks led us in an ambush on the Butcher's bandit gang together with Janet's people. Trunks and Janet even killed the Butcher Gustav. His gang is finished in Sun Radiance Valley. Aside from that, we haven't had any dealings with the other factions." The speaker was Grant. As an old friend of Trunks, he was truly worried about his safety.
Sun Radiance Valley lay between three countries. Over the years, it had become a special region where the richest supplies from all three countries could be gathered. Han Shuo had funded Trunks in establishing the Soul Annihilation Mercenary Group with the intention of taking Sun Radiance Valley for himself.
