Chapter 229: Rise In Power
Jian Chen led the forty men to the Mercenary Union in the heart of Wake City with plans to add them all to his Flame Mercenaries.
“Fellow Swordsman, how should we call you in the future?” A man asked Jian Chen.
“Call me Jian Chen for now. When you are all in my mercenary group, then you will call me captain.” Jian Chen spoke evenly before turning back to the first man who had pledged himself to him. “I still don’t know your name.”
Upon hearing that, the man laughed heartily, “I am called Xiong Tai, but captain can call me Da Xiong instead.”
“Ah,” Jian Chen nodded his head lazily as he looked at the other five captains, “Have you figured out how to deal with your mercenary groups yet?”
The five men all hesitated for a moment before Duo Kang answered, “Since we are planning to go with you, then this matter should be resolved by you.”
Jian Chen narrowed his eyes as he thought for a moment. “After we get there, you will bring all your mercenaries there. Whichever mercenaries that are willing to follow me will join our Flame Mercenaries, whichever that aren’t willing can go. However, those with a stronger amount of power than the others should be asked to stay behind for me to look at, understood?”
“Understood!” The five answered immediately.
Then, Jian Chen paused for a moment before speaking to them once more. “I know that you are unwilling to disband your mercenary groups, but do not worry. To follow me is to walk the right path in life. In the future, our Flame Mercenaries will definitely shock the entire Tian Yuan Continent.” With that, Jian Chen’s eyes emitted a bright glow of light as he vowed to make his plans come true.
When his words landed upon the ears of the others, they had all thought it to be a joke. No one there treated it seriously. For an unknown mercenary group to want to become a super mercenary group that could shock the Tian Yuan Continent? These men were experienced with the long and arduous road of life, they knew that with the current strength of the Flame Mercenaries, the distance separating them and Jian Chen’s goal was almost endless,
“Captain, what about our Dohre and Kai clan? Although our clans aren’t all that weak, but our strengths isn’t well developed in the martial arts section. Both of our clans focuses on other affairs, and if we were to reallocate ourselves to being like a mercenary group, then that would damage us tremendously.” Kai Er asked.
Hearing that, even Jian Chen went silent. Kai Er’s words had merit to them, the Kai and Dohre clan were strong on some level, but they were both clans that were built on commercial business. After years of development, they had gained a huge role in Wake City’s market. If that were dissolved, then their years of hard work and arduous labors would be lost without a chance of regaining it.
Jian Chen pondered this for a good while before finally coming to a conclusion that the two clans should commit to their original growth. Both Weiss and Kai Er would be the overseers to the operations of their clan, but in the end, Jian Chen would be the ultimate puppeteer behind the scenes.
As the large group of people walked through the streets in a wave like manner, the passersby couldn’t help but look at them. Seven of the men there were prestigious members of Wake City and would seldom be seen out in public. Many people recognized who they were and began to talk among themselves about what was happening.
