Chapter 358 Sky Rings Invitation (1/2)
”What do you want?” Han Xiao thought that this was odd.
He had only met Martin once—a month ago when Martin tried to recruit mercenaries personally. Han Xiao had somewhat of a bone to pick with this blue-skinned shorty as the latter had turned his mercenary group down due to their lack of an impressive resume.
Martin rubbed his hands together awkwardly and said in a sincere voice, ”Uhm… Are you interested in accepting a job? It's the same one as before. Our research team is going to investigate a barren planet…”
”It's already been a month, and you still haven't found anyone to go with you?”
Martin did not know what to say to that. Recruiting personally like he did would normally only attract the weaker no-name mercenaries. After a long time, he finally could not wait anymore and posted this job onto the Mercenary Alliance's job board. However, there were still no willing recruits due to the laughably poor pay, so the investigative operation was still on hold.
A few days ago, after the mercenaries who had participated in the Sunil missions returned, news of a Mercenary Group full of people capable of revival spread around and piqued the interests of many other mercenaries, causing them to become somewhat famous in the Juberly Hub.
Martin heard about this news by chance and realized that the group that he had rejected earlier was actually very powerful and that he had missed out on a good opportunity. He was full of regret and so had sprinted over the moment that he saw Han Xiao in the lobby.
”It's still the same price. 400 Enas per person. Let's hurry and go now.” Martin had a face full of expectations. Han Xiao had registered once earlier, and he thought that he would not reject the offer.
”Go look for someone else.” Han Xiao shook his head and turned to leave. He had only wanted to take on the job last time because he could make some quick bucks on the way to the Sunils' planet. Now that the moment had passed, why would he even care about this meager pay? He even had to travel to some faraway planet for it.
Martin held on to Han Xiao's arm and hurriedly said, ”Is it because of the price? We can pay more! 500… no, how does 480 sound?”
Martin had firmly latched himself onto Han Xiao's arm, leaving the latter speechless. Martin turned around to be the one doing the begging this time.
The trip to Planet Sunil had earned Black Star Mercenary Group a decent amount of fame, which was the only reason this scene was even happening. A Mercenary Group with reviving soldiers that was also decently powerful would of course be paid a certain amount of attention.
The two pushed and pulled until another voice came from the side. ”Oh, so you're Black Star?”
Han Xiao turned around and saw the owner of the voice walk over, clad in a pure white battle suit with a surface so smooth that it was undoubtedly made out of some special alloy.
”Sky Ring's people?” Han Xiao focused his eyes and plucked Martin off of him.
This person was wearing the Sky Ring Army's battle uniform and was a mercenary from Sky Ring.
The Sky Ring Army was among the mercenary groups at the top of the food chain in the Shattered Star Ring. They had over ten thousand members, and the Army head was even a Calamity Grade Class A Super. They did business across numerous clusters such as the Colton Star Cluster and the Gelock Star Cluster.
He should not have had anything to do with Sky Ring at the moment, so Han Xiao was curious. ”What does Sky Ring want with me?”
”You have a decent team. My Division Captain would like to discuss cooperation with you. Are you free now?”
Han Xiao blinked. Cooperation… Doesn't sound too bad…
However, with Sky Ring's power, there truly was no reason to look for a small team like his. Unless Sky Ring was interested in something special of their group. Han Xiao was able to guess the general reason for Sky Ring's interest in them.
No doubt. They were probably interested in the fact that we don't die… Han Xiao smiled in his mind. Looks like the gossiping between fellow mercenaries has done its job.
He was curious as to what kind of cooperation Sky Ring wanted to discuss with him. A force as big as theirs would definitely not have something simple up their sleeves.
