Volume 3: Rise of the God of War Chapter 427 Arrangement
Although what Li Jiu said made sense, Crazy Wolf just couldn't understand how Li Jiu could become friends with William, such a scumbag?
Could it be... because Captain William wanted to kill his father Claude in order to seize power of the Blood Wolf Mercenary Group, and Li Jiu also wanted to do the same, so the two of them secretly reached some agreement?
"That's right. Mr. Li Jiu and I are friends now. Since you are also a friend of Mr. Li Jiu, I hope that we can put aside our past grudges and cooperate happily in the future." Captain William received Li Jiu's instructions, forced a smile, and said to Mad Wolf.
After hearing what Captain William said, Mad Wolf couldn't help but stare at him, with a hint of surprise flashing between his brows. When did Captain William's attitude become so polite?
"Well, okay." After thinking for a moment, Mad Wolf nodded slightly, but he still had some doubts about Captain William's transformation.
"Mad Wolf, I know you still have some doubts in your heart, but there are some things that I can't explain to you too clearly now." Seeing Mad Wolf's reaction, Li Jiu hesitated for a moment, and said to Mad Wolf with a smile: " In short, you only need to know that the Blood Wolf Mercenary Group will be managed by Captain William and I in the future. But it is not convenient for me to handle things here personally for the time being, so I need someone to help William manage the Blood Wolf for me, and that person is you!"
"Well... okay, I promise you." Mad Wolf said after thinking for a while.
"Thank you." Li Jiu nodded with a smile.
Then, his eyes fell on the blue-blooded man Joseph standing nearby.
"Your name is Joseph, right?" Li Jiu said with a smile.
"Yes, yes..." Captain Joseph replied nervously.
During the past two days when he was detained by Captain William, he had been wondering how Li Jiu would deal with him.
Although Li Jiu said that he would spare his life, he had besieged Li Jiu together with Claude and even wanted to take Li Jiu's life. It can be said that he had already formed a deep hatred with Li Jiu.
"Don't be nervous." Seeing the other party's panic, Li Jiu smiled calmly and comforted him: "I believe that you went to the entertainment city because you listened to Claude's orders at that time."
"Yes! I did go there because of the commander's orders... no, it was Claude's orders. Captain Mad Wolf and the young commander can prove this." Captain Joseph responded quickly.
"Haha, I don't need anyone to prove it. These are actually not important." Li Jiu shook his head and smiled. "I just want to ask you one question, are you willing to follow me in the future?"
"Follow you?" Captain Joseph was slightly stunned and looked quietly at Captain William.
After all, this guy was still a member of the Blood Wolf Mercenary Group. Logically, now that the leader Claude was dead, he would follow the junior leader, Captain William. However, he still didn't know what the relationship between Li Jiu and Captain William was, so he naturally didn't dare to rashly agree to Li Jiu's request.
"Follow him, that means follow me." Captain William saw the concerns in Joseph's heart and said indifferently.
"Then... I do." After getting the approval of the young commander, Captain Joseph responded with relief.
"Very good, since you have decided to follow me in the future, I hope you can be as loyal as before and obey my orders absolutely." Li Jiu nodded, "Also, you can call me Mr. AUG from now on."
"Yes, Mr. AUG, absolute loyalty is the basic quality that every mercenary must possess!" Captain Joseph stood up and saluted Li Jiu solemnly.
"Okay, sit down." Li Jiu said with satisfaction: "Then today, I will give you the first order."
"Please speak, sir!" Captain Joseph sat up straight respectfully.
“Your special abilities are very useful in actual combat and are of great value to the entire mercenary group. But now your special ability level is not high enough, and the probability of death on the battlefield is too high. Therefore, I hope you can concentrate on practicing, and it would be best if you go into seclusion for a period of time... Wait until you have achieved everything in the future, and then go out to fight.” Li Jiu said solemnly.
"Retreat?" Captain Joseph was stunned. He never expected that Li Jiu would give him such an order.
But this order is not unacceptable. In fact, I am eager to do so!
After all, he knew that what Li Jiu said was right. His ability level was indeed a bit low, and the possibility of dying on the battlefield was indeed quite high. Once his ability level was raised, his survival rate on the battlefield would naturally increase greatly.
However, the former leader, Claude, was a little eager for quick success and only wanted to make himself useful as soon as possible and earn profits for the Blood Wolf Mercenary Group in battle. He never gave himself such good treatment and let himself practice with peace of mind.
"No problem, I'll do whatever you say, sir!" After thinking for a moment, Captain Joseph nodded solemnly.
"Well, very good." Li Jiu smiled with satisfaction: "In order to allow you to concentrate on your training, I will ask William to prepare a quiet place for you. Before your ability level is raised to a certain level, you cannot contact anyone to avoid distraction."
"Yes, sir!" Captain Joseph responded immediately without thinking too much.
"Okay, this matter will be handed over to William later. You two go out first." Li Jiu said to Mad Wolf and Joseph.
Afterwards, Captain Mad Wolf left the luxurious attic, and Joseph was taken into the secret room again by Captain William.
"William, you should know that there is a bigger force behind Claude, right?" After Captain William came back again, Li Jiu picked up the wine glass on the table and asked expressionlessly.
"Yes, master." Captain William stood aside and nodded respectfully. "Claude acted against you only because of the instructions of that force. Moreover, the deadline is less than half a month. If he fails to complete the task of assassinating you before the deadline, the other party will send someone else to assassinate you and kill Claude at the same time."
"Oh? Half a month..." Li Jiu's eyes narrowed and he pondered.
Now that Claude was dead, it was impossible for him to complete the task assigned by the Donna family. Doesn't that mean that all his hard work only bought him less than half a month?
"William, do you know how to contact the other party?" After thinking for a moment, Li Jiu asked again.
"I'm sorry, Master. I don't know yet. In the entire Blood Wolf Mercenary Group, only Claude can contact the other party." Captain William shook his head, then hesitantly said: "But perhaps we can find a way to contact the other party through the items left by Carla."
"Okay, this matter is very important. You should search for it as soon as possible. Once you find the other party's contact information, contact them immediately and try to buy as much time as possible." Li Jiu instructed.
"Yes, sir." Captain William nodded.
