Chapter 932 - The Capacity of a Beyond Grade A (2/2)
Karlot seemed to only understand half of it. “So, you guys are mercenaries?” “You can put it this way, I guess.” Han Xiao was helpless. “If you join our army, not only will you obtain better teachings, you can also obtain more benefits. I…”
Before waiting for Han Xiao to finish, Karlot began shaking his head. “I’m not going. Dad only sent me here to improve our family condition. He does not allow me to go out to fight and kill. If he learns about this, he will beat me up.”
Hearing this sentence, Han Xiao did not know whether to laugh or cry. This reason was quite refreshing.
The universe indeed was not lacking people who wanted to be Super just for the benefits. However, once they obtained the strength, their mentalities would undergo a change. Thus, he could understand why Karlot was thinking like this right now. In his previous life, Karlot himself belonged to the late-bloomer protagonist character archetype. He was honest, clumsy, and had a slow growth rate, but he slowly stepped forward until he stood at the peak of all Supers. During his peak, he could even kill ordinary Beyond Grade As without losing his breath.
After graduating from this official superpower academy, the military and some government departments came to recruit him. At that time, Karlot finally had his own beliefs and joined the army against the will of his family, starting his legendary career. However, now, Karlot was still a naive child in Han Xiao’s eyes.
Every Beyond Grade A was unique. If he rashly changed Karlot’s future, he might not grow up like his previous life. After all, guys like Karlot were not like Hila, who had the innate potential to hit Beyond Grade A.
Seeing that no one was talking, Karlot scratched his head and hesitantly asked, “If there’s nothing else, can I go?”
“Alright.” Han Xiao put his thoughts aside and smiled as he nodded. He decided not to push Karlot so far right now as he did not have the value to be poached.
But he had also helped Karlot indirectly, since he showed this student’s importance. The principal would definitely try to focus on his training, and he could use this time to foster a closer relationship with him.
Watching Karlot leave, Han Xiao temporarily bid farewell to the principal, returning to his spaceship.
As soon as he entered the cabin, his communicator rang. It was Sylvia on the line.
“Teacher, there’s a situation with the Limitless Financial Group!”
Han Xiao’s eyes flashed. “Explain in detail.”
Sylvia quickly summarized the incidents, and Han Xiao frowned as he connected the picture of him conversing with Sorokin. An understanding came to him.
“Them entering the Shattered Star Ring market is false. Their true motive is to deal with me.”
“Teacher, you’re saying…” Han Xiao sighed. “The Limitless Financial Group acts as an economic and commercial enterprise on the surface, but its true motive is to support the Bloodshed Land in opposing us, interfering with our development. I’ve been waiting to see what the pressure brought about by the Evolutionary Totems would be, and it turns out it’s in this form. There should be many backers behind the Limitless Financial Group this time, likely the federation and the church as well.”
“Then, what should we do? There’s no way to resolve this!” Sylvia’s expression was solemn.
Han Xiao was also tied up. In terms of commercial activities, the Limitless Financial Group was the undisputed ruler. The core businesses of the army were not impacted, but he was unable to prevent Sorokin from acquiring his partners. That would later cause a negative effect as his other business partners would choose to dissolve any relationships in order not to be targeted.
This was a straightforward strategy of attacking using their own abilities.
“If we hope to compete with the Limitless Financial Group, we must turn our dispersed capital into a whole. Use this external pressure to facilitate internal cohesion among our partners, encourage them to unite and form an existence similar to that of a Chamber of Commerce. We can help each other resist the malicious acquisition of the Limitless Financial Group.”
Sylvia thought about it before nodding in agreement. “This method is not bad.”
“Alas, there is no method to tackle the root cause. We can only stop the damage from spreading.” Han Xiao’s eyes flashed with a cold light. “After a period of time, I’ll have the mechanical host I left in the headquarters go to the Bloodshed Land and find Heber for… a good talk!”
After discussing the countermeasures, Han Xiao hung up, and his expression sank.
Now that the Black Star Army had gained the opportunity to shine in the world and develop rapidly, Sorokin attempted to deliberately drag them down, preventing them from developing peacefully.
He wanted to destroy the network of interests Han Xiao had spent years trying to build up!
Although this method of Sorokin’s could not shake the core businesses, it was very sinister and disgusting, and it would kill the future of the army!
He wanted to contact Sorokin for questioning, but he quickly banished this idea. With that old fox’s character, he would definitely use all kinds of business activities as an excuse, and there would be no way to express his own dissatisfaction.
Since he knew how Sorokin was going to reply, there was no point calling him. If Heber promised to cooperate, it means that he’s taking this opportunity to develop his forces. He, of course, won’t mind knocking me down in the process. When I advance to level 300, I’ll go and chat with him.
Han Xiao clenched his fists with a heavy expression.
Since he could not deal with Sorokin, he would cause trouble for Heber!
Ty-Ty is not giving me face at all. If you think that this wave of trading is very profitable for you, don’t blame me for destroying your prestige later!
