384 Observing Ren Xiaosu (1/2)

Xu Xianchu explained, ”The environment he grew up in is a little different. He was always plotting against the refugees in town since childhood, so it's normal that he hides his thoughts deep inside. But don't underestimate him. Just think, how many people can escape unscathed on so many occasions after a stronghold collapses…”

Everyone looked at one another. It was still too early to say for now. If he were the real deal, he could definitely stand up to their scrutiny. The war was going to happen no matter what, so the Razor Sharp Company would definitely be deployed at the forefront of the other fighting forces. At that time, it would be clear to all whether Ren Xiaosu was a hero or a zero.

Regarding the matter of a young man named Ren Xiaosu being shoved into the Razor Sharp Company, everyone in the military of Fortress 178 found out overnight. This made everyone quite curious about what Ren Xiaosu was like.

To the burly men of Fortress 178, this was clearly an important matter as it involved someone Zhang Jinglin regarded as his successor.

When Xu Xianchu was fast-tracked for promotion, everyone thought Xu Xianchu stood a chance of being considered and wondered if the tradition of the fortress commander emerging from the Razor Sharp Company would finally be broken.

But from the looks of it, it seemed like Xu Xianchu had not been chosen by Commander Zhang as a candidate to be his successor. It seemed that tradition would still remain tradition.

Rumor had it that Ren Xiaosu was a supernatural being. However, it did not seem like he would be very good at fighting with that weak and frail body. Everyone was a little curious as to whether Ren Xiaosu could even survive the war.

The next morning, when Ren Xiaosu walked out of the building where his group was staying, he saw a group of burly men squatting on the sidewalk.

The moment he appeared, the group of men lowered their voices and whisper-shouted, ”He's out! That's him!”

”Why's he so skinny?!”

”Can he even take a few punches?”

”He's not gonna get killed the moment he steps onto the battlefield, right?”

Ren Xiaosu immediately put his guard up. Were they here to find trouble with him? Was this group of burly men blocking the way to seek a fight with him?

Although his injuries had not fully healed yet, he was not afraid if anyone tried to find trouble with him.

But once these burly men saw Ren Xiaosu, they retreated. Ren Xiaosu was left standing there in a daze, not understanding what was going on.

Zhang Jinglin had not discussed anything with him prior. In fact, Zhang Jinglin's arrangements might not be a good thing for Ren Xiaosu at all.

That was because once Ren Xiaosu joined the Razor Sharp Company, everyone would watch his every move, and any mistakes he made would be scrutinized even harder. The moment he showed any signs of cowardice, everyone would think he was not qualified enough.

Everyone would look at him through a magnifying glass to see if he deserved to be so highly regarded by the commander.

And what made him so highly regarded?

But Zhang Jinglin did not care about that. He only told Ren Xiaosu that if he wanted to take revenge and personally bring down the Zong Consortium, he would have to first join Fortress 178's military.

Ren Xiaosu agreed to it, of course.

Then Zhang Jinglin asked him what kinds of troops he was planning to join and offered him the chance to choose for himself.

Ren Xiaosu answered he would like to go wherever it was the most dangerous. Whichever unit could kill the most enemies, he would go there.

Zhang Jinglin asked him if he wanted to reconsider it, but Ren Xiaosu said he had already made his decision and would not go back on his word.

Revenge was the only motivation that pushed Ren Xiaosu to go to Fortress 178.

Zhang Jinglin smiled and said: ”Alright, I'll arrange for you to be posted where it's the most dangerous then.”
