Chapter 1725 Qiao (1/2)
Han Sen quickly found out that Hardman was loaning him out to a hunting group called Wizard.
It was a very small team. It was run privately, too, by an owner called Qiao. The team wasn't a powerful enterprise, and the inferior members and equipment they used was a testament to that.
Han Sen was moved to the western part of a city called Gran. He was told that he was being loaned out, but it looked more like a sale. Han Sen's contract was now in this team's possession, and if he wanted out, it'd be two years before he could terminate the contract. Kate's law ensured this.
In the manager's office of Black Gold Group, Lena laughed and said, ”Manager Hard, that was a good business move. You sold Han Sen for a fine price. You even earned back all the money you had invested in him. I can't imagine why Qiao wanted him so badly. Han Sen's good, but he's not a Noble. There's no way he can kill a xenogeneic. She spent so much money on this, and the ongoing fee for Han Sen in her employ... It seems so stupid.”
Hardman smiled and said, ”She had to. Old Wei is dead, so there are no others close to being a Noble in Wizard. And no sensible Nobles are prepared to go there; with that being the case, the team is practically done for. Somehow, she heard about Han Sen. She paid this much in an all-or-nothing gambit”
”She's using someone like Han Sen as her last gamble? That's pathetic.” Lena laughed. ”Although Han Sen is good, he is not as good as a Noble. The way he fought with the xenogeneic was very dangerous. If he made one wrong move, he'd have been killed. He was fortunate that luck was on his side that day.”
Han Sen said goodbye to Suo Tu, packed up his things, and left the Black Gold base. At the exit, there was a red car waiting to pick him up.
When Han Sen neared it, the door opened. A black-haired woman with a white jacket and shoes stepped out of the car. She walked directly in front of Han Sen.
”Hey, I'm Qiao. I am the manager and leader of Wizard. You belong to us now.” The woman reached out her hand.
”I'm Han Sen.” Han Sen shook her hand. Her skin was delightfully delicate and soft to touch.
”I know. Why else would I be here?” Qiao got back into the car and gestured to Han Sen, saying, ”Come. I would like to show you something. It'll be very important for us. Perhaps it is the humble beginning of a bright and prosperous future for us both.”
”Our future?” Han Sen glanced at her, a little weirded out
After Han Sen got into the car, Qiao took him away from Black Gold Group. She drove them to West City.
”Why are you buying me?” Han Sen couldn't help but ask as they drove. His salary was equal to that of a Noble, and she must have had to pay Black Gold a lot of money.
Hardman had already paid a lot for Han Sen, but Qiao had spent even more. Han Sen thought the entire situation seemed rather unbelievable. For all intents and purposes, buying him had been a terrible business move.
Of course, with Han Sen's abilities and the items he secret owned, this might work out very well for Qiao. Hardman had screwed up in letting him go.
Qiao did not beat around the bush. ”To be honest, I had no choice. The price I can pay is something no Noble is willing to accept.”
Han Sen flinched. She was very direct.
”Lan Se and Guris recommended you, and I also researched the way in which you fought a xenogeneic. After a lot of thought, I decided to borrow you,” Qiao explained.
”Officer Lan?” Han Sen was shocked to hear that.
