Chapter 374 Your Friend DarkStar Is Now Online (2/2)

”Oh, it's you.” Han Xiao gave him a glance from the side.

Theon's face was currently badly beaten up, with bandages all around it, and he looked like he had gone through a botched surgery. His subordinates who followed behind him did not look any better.

Theon coughed with a horrified look on his face. ”Could you please stop your subordinates from bullying us…”

”What are you talking about? We're colleagues, man. To improve the capability of the Dragon Guards, I have tasked my group members with carefully organizing combat practices with you guys. How could you call us bullies?” Han Xiao said with a meaningful tone.

”I did wrong. I really did wrong. I will apologize however you want!” Theon sobbed in the open, and it was unthinkable how this was the same person who had been acting so high and mighty just several days ago.

Theon's pride came from the sole fact that he was part of the guards, and he had thought that he could look down on all the foreign visitors of the island. However, Han Xiao had suddenly become his 'colleague'. He did not even know that misfortune could arrive so fast without notice.

A few days ago, Han Xiao had been too lazy to teach this guy a lesson himself, so he had just thrown a few missions for the players. They were part of the guards anyway, and they were just about getting a kick out of beating him up. Even after Theon went to find the guard captain to complain about this matter, Wilsander simply turned a blind eye to it and could not be bothered to step in.

Theon could not stand being beaten up all the time like this anymore. However, he was not brave enough to just quit his job either. He was like an ant on a flaming-hot pan and had been waiting for technician Han every day over the past few days.

”Haha, why are you apologizing?” Han Xiao said cheerfully. ”You were only following orders and didn't do anything wrong.”

”How can I get you to forgive me?” said Theon with tears and snot all over his face. If he had known that this would happen, he never would have acted so unreservedly like he did before.

”There's a saying that one's well-being is invaluable. How much do you think your wellbeing is worth?” Han Xiao's smile turned to a wicked one all a sudden.

Theon felt his body shudder at that sight, and he said through gritted teeth, ”One thousand….”

The Great Mechanic Han was shocked and let out a gasp. ”You price yourself that low?”

”Then it's 1,500…”

Han Xiao shook his head and clicked his tongue. ”Looks like my friends need to help you establish a sense of self-worth.”

”2,000! That's all I have in my account. It's my savings over all the years. I'm begging you, please! I only have this much…”

”Sigh. Let's just consider it as me giving you a discount. Too bad I'm just this kindhearted, right?” Han Xiao then took out his communicator and pulled up the transaction menu before swiping his eyes over Theon's underlings and chuckled. ”How about you guys?”

His smile was basically that of the devil's to the group of people. They were all horrified and made the transfers without a second word. After hearing the sound of the successful transaction, Theon felt his soul leave his body. Not only did he lose the portion of the money that Horlaide had secretly paid him earlier to get him to act, he had also lost most of his life savings.

Han Xiao was all smiles and sunshine once more when his purse was filled up with the 34,000 Enas from the guards. He swung his arms around as he turned and entered the slave market.

Theon's team receiving the money in secret was one of the main reasons that the mercenaries' rescue operation had failed right at the end. It was not Han Xiao's style to just get a little revenge when he could. He would take back what he had lost because of Theon with full interest.

After he entered the slave market, he was led to Horlaide's office by the workers.

Horlaide's face scrunched up into a smile as he welcomed Han Xiao passionately. ”Take a seat. Would you like anything to drink?”

”Don't bother. I will be going straight to the point here. I'm taking the Silvers away. Name your price.” Han Xiao went into the topic without any delay. Horlaide knew that he was the mercenary from earlier, and he also knew that he had now become a colleague, hence the passionate tone.

But Horlaide was considered someone who worked under the Head Butler. Since violence would obviously not be a wise choice, he came this time to negotiate.

Horlaide put on a fake smile and said, ”What happened earlier was a misunderstanding. I'm sorry for any inconvenience that it may have caused you. However, what's done is done. The Silvers are now on the market. Things are also not easy for me. I hope that you can understand.”

Han Xiao raised an eyebrow, as he smelled the smell of someone in the same line of business as himself. ”Don't bullsh*t, you already have a plan.”

Horlaide chuckled. ”I've heard that your client cares a lot about their own. I believe that they will be very generous with opening up their purse. How about this? You help me convince them about the deal, and I will give you ten percent of the transaction fee.”

”How much are you planning to ask for?” asked Han Xiao.

”200,000… per person!” Horlaide raised up a single finger while smiling creepily. This price was, without a doubt, ridiculous. It was several times more than the market price. It was obvious then that the Silver client was the prey that Horlaide had laid his eyes on.
