Chapter 230: Class 5 Magical Beas (1/2)

The invitation of Wake City’s lord was something that Jian Chen couldn’t reject. Plus, he still had something important that the lord Yun Li could help with.
“Commander Duo Li, please wait for me to finish up my affairs here before we go.” Jian Chen cupped his hands in return. Right now, he hadn’t tidied up the positions and tasks for the members, and if he didn’t take care of this, then many people would be disatisfied which was something Jian Chen wanted to avoid.
“That’s fine. Since I’ve said what I needed to say, I will be leaving first then.” Commander Duo Li looked at Jian Chen for a moment before looking at the men behind him. Then, without any further words, he left the Mercenary Union.
After Commander Duo Li left, Jian Chen too left the Mercenary Union with the group behind him. Since the Mercenary Union often had many people entering the building at once, it wasn’t strange to see twenty or thirty men at the same time. So when Jian Chen left with his group of forty, it hadn’t attracted any attention.
“Kai Er!” As they walked, Jian Chen suddenly called out his name.
“Here, captain. What is your command?” The sixty year old Kai Er hurriedly responded. After seeing Jian Chen’s strength, he didn’t dare belittle him.
After ten years when Kai Er was first a small time mercenary to the man he was now, he had experienced many things so he knew that if one had the patronage of a strong supporter, they would be stronger than a man without one. Plus, if this supporter was strong enough, then he would become stronger as well so that no one would dare to offend him.
While Jian Chen was around twenty years old, he had somehow managed to make it to such a high level of strength. Based on this fact alone, Kai Er had naturally assumed that Jian Chen had a strong patron supporting him. Even if he had no patron and was simply a genius of cultivation, Kai Er would be willing enough to follow him for that method. Even the other elders and masters of the Weiss clan had come to a similar conclusion. So these two elders had readily agreed to follow Jian Chen because if he continued to walk this path of success, then sooner or later they would stand at the top of the continent as well.
This moment was also precisely their chance to reach the top in the future. If they waited until Jian Chen’s name stood at the top of the continent, it would be impossible for them to do so by then, even if they wanted to.
“Why don’t you take everyone to the Kai clan to reside there for a moment while I go to the lord’s mansion. We’ll take care of the matters then.” Jian Chen said.
“Yes, captain!” Kai Er answered respectfully.
“Weiss, you return to your clan as well. In the future, you and Kai Er should focus on your merchanting business and work together so that you can control all of Wake City’s business.”
“En, don’t worry captain. Our Kai and Dohre clan may have been weaker than the Tianxiong clan even if we join together. But now that the Zhou clan and Tianxiong clan are destroyed, their political power is all but gone. We can seize this chance and fight for the power they left behind and slowly gain control of all of Wake City. However, in this time period, we will need to have a good amount of martial power as well since many of the powers in Wake City aren’t easily bullied. In the case they all join forces, then our Kai and Dohre clans will not be enough to be their opponents.” Weiss said.
Jian Chen nodded his head in approval before saying, “Let’s not worry about this too much. Right now Wake City is on the verge of being invaded by magical beasts, when it’s over let us talk about it then.”
After giving some instructions to the Flame Mercenaries members, Jian Chen immediately left for the city lord’s mansion.
