Chapter 353 Abducting a Man (1/2)
Herlous was filled with doubts. Just as he was going to say something, Han Xiao spoke first.
”Don't be too quick to make an assumption. Not long ago, you didn't believe that I was a foreseer. If you hadn't changed your mind, this meeting wouldn't have taken place. I don't need you to believe it right now, but think about this, do I have any reason to lie to you? Sunils never promised me any benefits, and even if what I said is not true, you people will not suffer any loss.”
”That's true.” Herlous nodded and agreed. Indeed, even if Han Xiao was lying, his race would only maintain its current state. Herlous actually wished that what Han Xiao said to be true—if they had so much help, their losses during the Catastrophe would be vastly reduced, and they would be able to develop much quicker.
Although there was the potential threat from DarkStar, the Sunil civilization was just a tiny shrimp to them. As long as they kept a low profile, they would be able to grow stronger in the environment filled with danger.
With a solemn face, Herlous said in a low voice, ”If you really can help us overcome these obstacles, Sunil will be your firmest ally. I cannot decide for the entire race, but I believe that the leaders will definitely make the same decision. Please believe in the resolve and quality of us Sunils.”
”Of course, I never doubted that.” Han Xiao's compliment made Herlous feel very delighted.
”About your standpoint, I'll immediately report to the Superiors…”
Han Xiao waved and said, ”I suggest that you don't say it yet. A surprise is better than a torturous wait. Plus, your words alone might not be enough to convince the Superiors of your race to believe that I'm a foreseer.”
Herlous was stunned for a moment, then said while thinking, ”That's true…”
”If I guessed correctly, just like the other Supers, you're heading toward the galaxy to become a mercenary as well, right?” Han Xiao said.
”Yes, I've stayed here for too long. It's time for me to go out and make some contributions. I'll be leaving in two days.” Herlous nodded. Although he was very strong, he had never explored the galaxy alone.
Han Xiao's eyes sparkled, and he smiled.
”Since we have come to an agreement, how about you join my mercenary group and become my associate?”
This moment, Han Xiao felt like he was blessed by the soul of Luffy. If combined with the sun behind him, outstretched arms, and hot-blooded background music, he felt like he could trigger the super strong buff [+100% Recruit Success Rate].
”Join your Black Star Mercenary Group…” Herlous was tempted. He was going to become a mercenary anyway, and working in groups would not only mean a stronger power, but he could also stay in touch with Han Xiao in the long term to witness his actions and confirm whether what he had said was true or not.
If Han Xiao was sincere in helping Sunil, he would have the chance to pay him back and help Han Xiao save his mother planet. Plus, the two of them could have detailed discussions on how to combat the DarkStar and improve on their plan. It would really be very convenient.
Furthermore, Han Xiao was very important to Sunil. They could not allow an accident happen to him, so if they were acting together, he would be able to protect him. After all, Han Xiao's strength in Herlous' eyes was not considered strong at all, mediocre at best.
He's one grade lower than me, so being a mercenary is dangerous for him. If I follow him, I can prevent him from dying accidentally.
After careful consideration, Herlous felt that such a course of action was very advantageous, so he agreed on the spot. ”Okay, I'll join your mercenary group.”
Han Xiao nodded calmly, but in his heart, he was laughing uncontrollably.
Finally! All my effort in convincing him did not go to waste. I've finally abducted this main character!
Other than the point of contact of Sunil, Herlous would also be an NPC cadre of the mercenary group itself. He was a high-level combat power!
This job has resulted in great benefits!
Their conversation's details were not reported to the Superiors, just as Han Xiao suggested. The rest of the Sunils did not know, only Herlous.
Two days later, the Galactic Travel Agency that they had called arrived at Planet Sunil. The group of players followed Han Xiao up the spaceship in anticipation. Suddenly, a tall and wide Sunil in casual clothes walked over. After staying so long in Forest city and seeing the promotions from the military, they immediately recognized that it was Herlous, the character who was being shaped as a hero figure.
”Where's your armor?”
”Lent to the researcher institution. When they derive the blueprint, I can take it back to use, so I only brought this weapon…”
Herlous turned sideways, displaying the rectangular metal silver block tied behind his back. It was the folded Battleship Slicing Blade.
”I see…” Han Xiao felt a little disappointed. The Commander Class armor was a piece of great equipment, but he did not even meet the prerequisite of the NCO Class armor yet; Commander Class would be even more impossible for him to derive. There would be chances in the future anyway, so there was no need to be impatient.
Han Xiao turned to the players and made the introduction. ”This is Herlous, a grade B Super. From today onward, he'll be our comrade, a new member of our mercenary group.”
Holy! The players' jaw almost dropped on the floor—they were stunned.
The captain has abducted the hero of a race!
