Volume 1 Clone Army Chapter 144: Winning Over (Part 2)
"Well, if you are willing to join us, you will get 10 million Alliance Coins and the rank of second lieutenant! And this is my bottom line." Claude was silent for a moment, then said solemnly as if he had made a major decision.
"10 million Alliance Coins ..." Li Jiu was slightly shocked. It seemed that this guy was really rich.
Judging from the other party's expression, this price seemed to be approaching his bottom line.
Therefore, Li Jiu lost interest in listening any further.
"Forget it, why don't you tell me which mercenary group you are from first?" Li Jiu shook his head, looked at Claude meaningfully and said, "I might as well tell you that I actually had a conflict with a certain mercenary group in District 5. If you are from that mercenary group, then there is no need to say more."
In fact, when Claude did not directly reveal his identity at the beginning, Li Jiu guessed that this guy might be a member of the Blood Wolf Mercenary Group. Moreover, he must have known about the conflict between him and Captain William!
Otherwise, he would have no reason to deliberately conceal anything. After all, he should know that doing so would definitely make others doubt his sincerity.
Claude's face suddenly darkened, because from Li Jiu's tone, he could tell that this guy had probably guessed his identity from the beginning...
And the conversation after that was probably just this guy teasing him on purpose...
Claude's face was gloomy and he fell silent. He didn't want to give up. Because, winning over Li Jiu was not only related to his interests, but also a commission from the powerful force in the Eastern Province. If he failed to do it well, he would not only not get any benefits, but would get into trouble.
After all, he didn't want to kill Li Jiu unless it was absolutely necessary, because if he did, he would not only lose a potential helper, but he might also be targeted by the Alliance Police...
Although the Blood Wolf Mercenary Group also has its own armed forces, he dare not use his armed forces to confront the police, because that would be regarded as an act of provoking the authority of the Alliance Government and would bring disaster to the Blood Wolf Mercenary Group!
In other words, it is not an easy task to get rid of Li Jiu within the alliance.
"You guessed right, I am from the Blood Wolf Mercenary Group, and I am the leader of the Blood Wolf Mercenary Group." After a long silence, Claude said helplessly.
"Oh?" Li Jiu was a little surprised. He didn't expect this guy to admit it so straightforwardly. What he didn't expect was that the person sitting in front of him was actually the leader of the Blood Wolf Mercenary Group, Captain William's father...
"I know there are some misunderstandings between you and my good-for-nothing son, but didn't you resolve them through a gambling battle? Moreover, didn't you win the gambling battle in the end and teach that bastard a lesson?" Claude explained immediately.
"In addition, I can assure you that if you agree to join our Blood Wolf Mercenary Group, from now on, William will never dare to harass you and your friends again."
Listening to Claude's solemn explanation, Li Jiu kept a nonchalant smile.
And when Claude finished speaking, Li Jiu stood up directly.
"I'm sorry, I appreciate your kindness, but I've become accustomed to the life in the Night Rose Mercenary Group and don't want to leave." As Li Jiu spoke, he walked straight to the door without paying any attention to Claude, whose face was already ashen.
"Wait a moment!"
"I can give you the rank of captain directly!" Seeing that Li Jiu was about to walk out of the room, Claude immediately stood up and tried to keep him with a glimmer of hope: "This is really within my ability and the greatest benefit I can provide you. I hope you can seriously consider it."
"Captain? Damn... I didn't expect this old guy to have another trick up his sleeve..." Li Jiu was slightly stunned and paused for a moment. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart, this guy is really an old fox...
However, Li Jiu immediately opened the door without looking back.
"Not interested. Goodbye."
Before walking out of the door, he just said one last sentence and walked directly to his teammates' private room...
…
And when Li Jiu left, Claude immediately frowned.
"Hmph! Since this brat doesn't know what's good for him, don't blame me for being ruthless..." Claude snorted coldly, a fierce light flashed in his eyes, and he completely gave up the idea of winning over Li Jiu.
Although he didn't understand why he had offered such tempting conditions, Li Jiu was still not tempted at all.
But after seeing how straightforwardly Li Jiu refused in the end, he realized that it seemed impossible to win over Li Jiu.
So, next, Claude opened the God of War system and contacted Captain William who was at the Blood Wolf Mercenary Group base.
"William, don't you want to kill that guy?"
"What's wrong, father? That kid is not willing to do it even if he is given a captain's position? He is really a fool who doesn't know how to live or die. You should have done this a long time ago."
"Hmph! Stop asking so many questions. Arrange some people for me right now and rush to the War Bar as quickly as possible. That guy is in the War Bar now. This is a good opportunity. But remember, don't do it in the War Bar. Keep an eye on him first. After he leaves the War Bar, find a secluded place to quietly kill him!"
"Hehe, don't worry, father. That kid definitely won't be able to return to the Night Rose Mercenary Group today!"
"Oh, and call Moss along, his abilities are more suitable for assassinations. With him on board, we can be sure that nothing will go wrong."
"Moss? But father, last time in the virtual battlefield, Moss's ability was broken by that kid. I'm worried that the same thing will happen again this time ... Besides, father, you know that Moss is really greedy... If you don't give him some benefits, I'm afraid he won't do his best..."
"Humph! How could I not know what Moss wants? Tell him that as long as this matter is settled, I will find a way to get him a method to improve his supernatural powers."
"Hehe, that's no problem. Once Moss hears about the method to improve his superpowers, he will definitely work hard for it."
"Okay, hurry up and act. Don't let that guy get away first."
"Okay, got it, father. I'll arrange it right away!"
…
After Claude gave William his instructions, he sat down again, picked up the teacup on the table, and had a sinister smile on his face.
Next, he prepared to drink tea while waiting for the news that Li Jiu had been killed...
