Chapter 610 Openly Poaching (2/2)
”What about you, Ames?” Heber asked.
Ames was not interested in such a matter and was about to follow Austin and reject the proposition. However, she paused for a moment and looked at Han Xiao.
”Black Star, what do you think?”
”Hmm?”
Han Xiao was currently deep in thought, and upon being called, he was stunned for a moment.
Seeing everyone's gaze on him, Han Xiao pondered for a moment before nodding. ”The Crimson Empire can naturally be trusted with their reputation. The esteemed emissary is correct in saying that this is a once in a lifetime opportunity with great benefits hidden within it. I personally feel that the Crimson Empire has a sixty percent chance of succeeding at the very least.”
Zoel's eyes lit up, and he revealed a smile. While wondering when he had successfully converted this fellow, he nodded at Han Xiao and said, ”Good eyesight.”
Han Xiao also nodded back in response. ”Thus, I feel that you shouldn't be in a hurry to reject. This isn't a bad thing.”
Upon hearing that, Ames thought for a moment and did not reject Zoel directly but said, ”Let me think about this.”
The expressions of both Austin and Heber immediately changed.
Both of them had known Ames for years and knew that Ames had actually intended to reject the proposition. However, she had immediately changed her mind after listening to Han Xiao's advice.
Black Star's importance to the Dragon Emperor had far exceeded their expectations.
Not just a hired thug but an advisor? Austin stroked his chin and fell into deep thought. That's right, with Ames' personality, she will need a reliable strategist if she wants to expand, and Black Star seems pretty capable.
”Black Star, I heard from Malekith that he tried to poach you but was rejected,” Heber said.
Han Xiao's eyes gleamed, and he slowly nodded.
”I rarely try a second time, but I would like to ask you again personally.”
Heber raised his arm out to Han Xiao and said in a solemn tone, ”Black Star, join me.”
Boom!
Ames' aura exploded, and an immense pressure was exuded.
Her tone was chilly.
”Trying to poach one of my men before me, do you not respect me at all‽”
The frightening pressure assaulted Heber from all directions, but it seemed as though he could not feel it. He ignored Ames and fixed his gaze on Han Xiao. ”Do you agree or not?”
Han Xiao's face began contorting.
Oh my goodness, poaching someone so openly, he is truly tyrannical.
He had never expected Heber to personally make an invitation at this moment. This fellow truly did not care about what the occasion was and only about how hard his fists are!
”My apologies, but my answer is the same.” Han Xiao shook his head helplessly.
Heber nodded and was not angered by the rejection. It was as though he had never brought up this topic at all.
He liked talents but was not willing to force someone who did not want to submit.
The force field was still growing in strength, and Heber turned around to look at Ames. ”Aren't you going to stop your force field? Do you want to fight?”
Ames remained expressionless as her aura continued to grow. She almost wanted to completely ignore the advice that Aesop had given her.
Austin could only interfere helplessly lest they ended up fighting. With a snap of his fingers, he cast a calming spell on Ames.
”Alright, alright, this isn't the first day you've known her. Don't act so rashly.”
