1193 The Only Solution (1/2)
In fact, when Peter Lee appeared, Zhang Zian had a hunch. Why had Peter come and visited Nabari? Nabari was neither a sleek fashionista nor a skilled healthcare technician. He had no special skills, and his only specialty was being a desert guide.
As expected, Peter also wanted to hire Nabari as a guide.
Peter and Zhang Zian spoke in Chinese so that Nabari and Salem couldn't understand. However, Nabari observed their tone and demeanor, and he could guess what was happening. Usually he did not enter the desert for a few months, and most of the time he entered in the winter. He had not expected that, given that he would retire very soon, he would still be sought after.
Zhang Zian was angry, but his face remained relaxed and dull. ”Mr. Lee, do you mean to ask Nabari to be your guide?” He was asking the obvious but preparing for countermeasures in his head.
Peter Lee nodded. ”Yes, I have inquired, and Nabari is the best desert guide. And it is not only me. My companions will also enter the desert.”
Zhang Zian showed a face of regret. To let Nabari understand, he said in English, ”Is it? It's a pity. You came a step too late. Mr. Nabari has promised to be my guide. I am afraid you will have to find someone else.”
Pete Lee was not fazed and asked quietly, ”Is that the case?”
”Yes, I have already agreed to Mr. Zhang's invitation to go with the expedition team as a guide,” Nabari confirmed.
Zhang Zian heaved a sigh of relief, but he was not completely relieved. Where was that look of confidence on Peter's face coming from?
Peter Lee said to Nabari, ”I can pay you double the price.”Find authorized novels in Webnovel,faster updates, better experience,Please click visiting.
Salem was stunned. This newcomer didn't even know the bid of Zhang Zian's expedition team, and he'd rushed to double the price?
”Sorry, we Bedouins have no money, but we are very proud of our reputation. This is also the law of survival in the desert. If I am a money-seeker, are you not afraid that I will rob you of your money when we are in there?” Nabari flatly refused his offer.
Zhang Zian listened in secret and nodded. It was a wise choice to choose Nabari as a guide.
The Bedouin people were most familiar with the desert. Nabari could deliberately lure tourists into the desert, rob them of their food and water at night, and return to steal their money and jewelry after they died. That would be really hard to prevent. As for how to explain this to others, he could merely insist that the team had been split up by the sandstorm. It would be very difficult for others to verify his words.
Peter did not seem discouraged. Rather, he gave him a thumbs-up, smiled, and said. ”Good! Very good! I like you! I like you very much! Now I am even more certain that I want you to be our guide!”
”But…” Nabari frowned. Was he incapable of understanding human words? He rejected him for the third time, but what Peter said after stunned him entirely.
Peter smiled and said, ”Your village chief has already agreed to my request. Are you going to defy the orders of your chieftain?”
Zhang Zian's heart jumped, and he knew things had gone out of his favor. This was Peter's trump card!
Unlike Zhang Zian, Peter did not have Salem as an introduction. He felt that approaching Nabari directly was a surefire way to get a rejection, so he changed tactics and first went to convince the village chief first. In this way, with pressure from the top, Nabari would find it difficult to say no.
