Chapter 310: Recruitment (1)
“Promise? What promise?”
Wei Zihan was a little confused. She looked at Victor with a hint of confusion in her eyes.
“It’s like this. I heard that there is a piece of Thousand-year Mystic Ice in White Dragon City. Maybe miss doesn’t know about it, but it’s okay. After I helped miss win the city lord position, Miss can give me that piece of Thousand-year Mystic Ice as a reward. How about it?”
Victor looked at Wei Zihan and told her his purpose.
He had no choice. Victor was determined to get the Thousand-year Mystic Ice. His purpose would be exposed eventually. In that case, he might as well be honest and win her favor.
However, before Wei Zihan could speak, Zhang Huang interrupted him, “Young master, it’s needless to say how precious the Thousand-year Mystic Ice is… Even if Miss Wei becomes the city lord one day, I’m afraid…”
Obviously, Zhang Huan did not accept Victor’s request. In his opinion, the value of the Thousand-year Mystic Ice could almost double the expansion of White Dragon City. It was inevitable that he would feel regretful if he gave it to Victor for free.
Victor naturally understood this point.
However…
“Miss, of course you can choose to refuse. However, the moment you refuse, I will leave your command and turn to the children of other city lords.”
Victor sneered and a cold light flashed in his eyes.
“I am not negotiating with you. This is a deal. I think it is worth it to exchange a piece of Thousand-year Mystic Ice for the position of the city lord, isn’t it?”
Zhang Huan did not realize that they were not the ones holding the upper hand, but Victor.
Even if Victor did not surrender to the others and left, the two of them would still not have a good ending!
Zhang Huan broke out in cold sweat when he realized this.
“Young master, I’m willing to agree to it.”
Wei Zihan did not plan to reject the offer.
After all, she and Victor were in the same boat. If she rejected Victor, Wei Zihan would not have a good ending.
Therefore, Wei Zihan could only entrust everything to Victor now. As long as he helped her to seize the city lord’s position, Wei Zihan had to agree no matter how valuable the treasure was.
Moreover, compared to rejecting now, it was better to go back on her word when the time came. It was more realistic.
“Well, of course. Miss, you can rest assured. If there is no Thousand-year Mystic Ice in White Dragon City by then, I will not make things difficult for you.”
Victor said this and secretly glanced at Zhang Huang.
People said that become people as they age, but Zhang Huang seemed to be very stupid.
If not for Victor’s decent mood and had no interest to argue with him, he would have been rendered speechless.
“Miss, we are about to start fighting for the position of city lord. Our forces are too weak, so we have to recruit a few more people. Are there any more famous experts in White Dragon City?”
“Yes, there are, but they have very strange temperaments. Even when my elder brother and the others tried to recruit them, they were often rejected.”
“Of course, I have a way. Give me their information. Remember, the more details, the better.”
Although Victor was confident that he could defeat the others by himself, it was difficult for him to do it alone. If anything happened, Victor could not afford to be distracted.
Moreover, Victor would leave sooner or later. Wei Zihan was also well aware of this.
If she could not nurture her own forces, after Victor left, Wei Zihan would have no supporters.
After receiving the information, Victor was ready to set off immediately.
Time was precious and there was no time to waste.
After a rough look, Victor took the lead and went to a tavern in White Dragon City.
“Jade-faced dragon flying, Ren Pingsheng, it’s you, isn’t it?”
Looking at the handsome middle-aged man dressed in white in front of him, Victor put away the information and sat in front of him.
“It’s me. Brother, you seem a little familiar. May I know why you’re looking for me?”
Ren Pingsheng glanced at Victor and immediately removed his arrogant attitude.
Victor’s reputation could be said to be well-known in White Dragon City. Almost everyone knew the man who wore a pure white mask and carried a long sword on his back.
He was too powerful. It was hard not to remember him!
“It’s like this. I came to you to persuade you to join Wei Zihan’s party. You know that the city lord’s health is deteriorating day by day. It’s time for the next city lord to be decided.”
“That’s true, but what does this have to do with me?”
Ren Pingsheng shook his head and sneered, “Ten years ago, I rejected the city lord’s invitation. 15 days ago, I rejected the two young masters, Wei Baishou and Wei Baizhuo. Now, you came to me and you want me to join you. What’s the reason?
“Moreover, I originally have no intention to interfere with this matter. Even if I wanted to, shouldn’t I find someone with a higher chance of winning?”
Ren Pingsheng’s words were not without reason. Just based on strength, Wei Zihan was undoubtedly at the bottom. She had no chance of winning.
However, he had also said it just now. It just seemed that the gap was very big.
Victor was confident that he could hold his own ground and even surpass them.
As for now, to put it bluntly, he was paving the way for Wei Zihan’s future.
Even Victor himself could not figure out why it was so troublesome. He could only use the lame excuse of being a good person to convince himself.
“The jade-faced dragon flying, Ren Pingsheng, a man from the Central Plains. When he was young, he followed the sect and cultivated for nine years. He defected to the sect and came to White Dragon City. With absolute strength, he won fourth place in the group arena. But in the end, he rejected the city lord’s offer. The reason was that he liked to be alone and didn’t want to be bound by others. But in reality, it was because he was dissatisfied with Chang An and has sworn to defeat Chang An. Am I right?”
Looking at the lengthy information, Victor smiled.
“That’s right, it’s very detailed.”
“Well… in that case, let’s talk about the pros and cons. If you join us, the advantage is that in the future, you will receive the same treatment as Chang An. Resources, cultivation methods, spiritual artifacts, everything is available.”
“What about the cons?”
“There are no cons.”
“Haha, I admit that you are very strong, but you are too subtle and arrogant. Let’s not talk about the strength of the other young masters. Don’t forget that they have the support of forces behind them. How will they willingly watch Wei Zihan rise to the top?
“Moreover, if you lose, you can just leave, but we will have no way out.”
“I think you know what I mean. Without effort, there won’t be rewards. How long do you think you can live after others take the position of the city lord?”
Victor smiled disdainfully. He deliberately tried to attract Ren Pingsheng’s attention.
“What do you mean?”
“Don’t you know what I mean?”
