197 A Promise (1/2)
Fan De could understand, and he expected this, ”But why Tang Empire? Why not The Flame Castle?”
”I have asked Cao Yuntai about that. His answer is: Tang Shaoyang may be ruthless and cold-blooded, but that only applies to his enemy. While it comes to his people, he is extremely generous. I have followed Lin Duan in three portal expeditions, he's selfish, putting us as bait, he takes all the reward for himself…” Kang Jiayi listed what Lin Duan had done to the soldiers.
Fan De furrowed his brows, Lin Duan never told anything about the reward that could be obtained from the portal, ”Then what about you? I can understand about the soldiers, but why do you want to help to build his delusional empire?”
”I am not helping him but helping our people who suffer in this disaster. Why the Tang Empire? It's clear that the empire is more organized than the Flame Castle. Even though Lin Duan claimed their establishment is supported by SZ City Military, I don't see the difference between the two but brute thugs. Since the empire is clearly much stronger, I choose them!” Kang Jiayi explained his reason to his friend.
”Are you sure about this, Old Kang? You know that you and the empire will be labeled as traitors once the central government shows up,” Fan De tried to sway Kang Jiayi.
Kang Jiayi smiled at Fan De, ”I have decided, Old Fan. If you need our help, you can come to us,” he tapped his friend's shoulder and walked back to the camp.

Meanwhile, Tang Shaoyang was sitting in a room, sitting across from him was Yan Sheng. Three scrolls were on top of the table, Class Change Scroll.
The young man faced three choices, Berserker, Spearman, and Shield Breaker. This time it did not take a long time for the young man to decide his class. His hand moved, picking the scroll in the middle. Yan Sheng chose Spearman.
Tang Shaoyang was relieved when the young man picked the class, he let out a sigh, ”If you are still being picky, I have to demote you.”
Yan Sheng was grinning at his Boss, ”Don't worry, Boss! I will not disappoint you,” Tang Shaoyang waved his hand to the young man, ”I don't need your promise but your action!”
The young man used the scroll right. After that, Yan Sheng thanked him before he left the room.
—That's it? He can get a class with just a flick of the scroll?
Zowen who was new to this world questioned Tang Shaoyang.
”That's how things work around here,” he shrugged.
—This is absurd!
Zhang Mengyao and her women entered the room. Fu Dandan, Dai Wenqian, Shi Niu, Liang Suyin, and Zeng Dongmei. They sat across from him, Liang Suyin, the red-haired beauty in the middle of the five.
”You are Liang Suyin, right?” He asked the red-haired girl. He recently informed the girl had a talent for magic, Advance Magic. It was Tier C Talent with +3 Magic Power each level up.
”Y-yes,” not expecting this, the girl became slightly nervous. She never had a chance to speak with their Boss directly like this. She was quite nervous as she lowered her head.
”Don't be nervous, take it easy,” even though he said so, it was hard for Liang Suyin to do so. Each time she met her eyes with his, there was a strike of reverence to the man. She lowered her head, afraid of offending her Boss.
