Chapter 436 The Start of Ten Years (2/2)

Clearly, he was not on that list in the eyes of these intel organizations, unlike his boss Ames, who really could not be messed with.

Honestly, Han Xiao did not like the feeling of exposing his whereabouts, but he did not have a solution for it temporarily. This was an unavoidable situation. In order to solve it, he could only become stronger. Whether it was strength, influence, or fame, as long as he could make the intel organization feel that he could not be messed with, they would not sell his intel.

Looks like I need to keep working hard. Han Xiao placed this matter in his heart, narrowed his eyes, and asked, ”What is your plan?”

Sylvia shook her head and looked lost.

She did not know where to go after suddenly losing her goal. The Galaxy was so wide, yet she had nowhere to go.

”Father, he… although he's not a good person, he told me the truth. Maybe it's because he doesn't want to drag me down and does not want me to neglect myself because of him. He wants me to have my own life…”

After calming down, Sylvia sort of understood that her father did what he did to save her, or why would he destroy the image that he had been building in her daughter's heart for so many years? Although she was still bothered by it, she had no other choice but to accept reality. She said softly, ”The universe is so vast. I will probably go look at different places… hoping to find something else I can be determined on…”

”You want to leave?” Han Xiao said with an expressionless face. ”Did I allow you to leave?”

Sylvia froze.

”The first rule of mercenaries, all jobs have to be paid. Our help was not free. Furthermore, do you think I'm going to let go of the fact that you tried to assassinate me? I'm in a good mood, so I don't want to kill you, but that doesn't mean you don't have to pay a price. You have to compensate for all my damages.” Han Xiao crossed his arms and snorted.

”I—I have no money now,” Sylvia said embarrassedly and fidgeted uncomfortably. She had spent all her savings on this assassination, and those were the funds that Langley had left her. She truly had no money at all.

”No money?” Han Xiao was expressionless. ”Then you shall repay me with your body.”

Sylvia's eyes widened instantly. She blushed and stuttered, ”Yo—You… I—I'm just a kid. I—I ca—can't…”

The players were all shocked and looked at Han Xiao in disbelief.

Holy, I didn't know you are this kind of Black Phantom!

We're the same type of people!

Bun-Hit-Dog recorded it with glee. He was very satisfied; this was way too explosive!

Aroshia tilted her head and mumbled, ”This should be the humans' action of sending a mating signal.”

Han Xiao almost could not keep a straight face after hearing what Aroshia said. He narrowed his eyes and said, ”What are you people thinking? I have no interest in your body; I want your freedom.”

Sylvia immediately breathed a sigh of relief. She looked at Han Xiao apprehensively. ”Freedom? What do you mean?”

”You have to work for me for ten years.”

”Ten is too long. Can you make it a little bit shorter?” Sylvia made the hand sign of 'a little bit' as she spoke with a fawning tone.

”Twelve years.”

”No no no, ten years is good.” Sylvia hastily waved her hands.

”In these ten years, you'll be my subordinate. If you want to escape or betray me, I won't give you a second chance. Maybe you can escape, but your father has nowhere to run,” Han Xiao said coldly.

Hearing the threat, Sylvia's face became serious for a second. She wanted to be angry but felt powerless to do so. With her emotions in turmoil, she lowered her head and said softly, ”I won't run from my own mistakes. It's just ten years. I'm still young, so I can afford it… I don't have anywhere else to go now anyway.”

Since Han Xiao had chosen to let Sylvia live, he definitely had to make use of her value and create more profit than killing her would. Sylvia was at least a grade A Super at her peak in his previous life, so she was quite a good potential stock. By recruiting her, he could consider it as having another high-quality officer. Furthermore, she was talented in the Mechanic class, which suited his abilities. She could become his assistant. Although she needed time to grow, it was worth the investment.

Han Xiao wanted mature grade A Supers too, but tricking someone with a higher grade was way too difficult. There were not that many people who were as easy to trick as Herlous, and even tricking Herlous had not been that easy.

According to Sylvia's personality in his previous life, although she was sometimes extreme, she could be considered as normal after giving up on vengeance. Now, this process had been completed many years in advance, which could only be for the better.

Furthermore, no matter what, Sylvia was a popular character. This could indirectly increase the popularity of his faction among the players, giving his faction more 'fame'.

After she joined him, her galactic pirate career would no longer occur. However, she had the fundamentals after all. As long as she was tuned properly, her flavor would definitely not be worse than the previous life…

For the possibility of not being able to control her in the future, the Great Mechanic Han was not worried at all. Not because he was arrogant, but even the players' growth speed could not match his. If he did not have this tiny bit of confidence, he might as well go back to Planet Aquamarine and open a pig farm.
