Chapter 170 Sending the Goods Over (2/2)

If not, then Rhode could only rely on himself to solve these problem. The summoned spirits could still be of some help. But it still made Rhode quite disappointed with his own teammates because he had worked very hard to create the mercenary group and didn't only do it for show. If it was only for that, he wouldn't have created it in the first place.

On the other hand, this matter was also a test for him. If the mercenary group could cross swords with figures at the level of elites, it would be very favorable for their growth. Rhode didn't want them to show off their skills; it was best to pretend to be a pig to prey on a tiger. There was no problem in them losing a little in the beginning; as long as they gathered enough experience, there would still be a chance to get back in the future.

”You seem to be troubled, Mr. Rhode.” Marlene looked at Rhode with a worried expression. She hesitated for a little then said.

”A little. We will face a big problem after this… but saying it right now is meaningless. I will prepare for everything. Don't you want to go to rest, Ms. Marlene?”

”There's no need.” Hearing Rhode's inquiry, Marlene only shook her head. She turned around and continued to look toward the wooden door.

”I'll wait here.”

”Where's Anne?”

”She's in the kitchen. She said that she wanted to cook something delicious for Christie, but I think she'll help herself first…”

When the two of them were talking, Shauna walked toward them, paid respect to Rhode, and then said. ”Report, Sir. Mr. Sereck has arrived with three people.”

”Eh?” Hearing Shauna's report, Rhode curiously frowned.

”Who?”

”They're all leaders of a mercenary group. According to Sereck, they seemed to want to join your mercenary group.”

”Is that so…” Hearing until here, Rhode nodded and patted Marlene on the shoulder. After that, he followed Shauna downstairs.

When they arrived at the hall, Rhode could see Sereck with three fully-armored men.

One of the men attracted Rhode's attention.

He was burly and almost 2 meters tall. From afar, he looked like an iron tower. His skin was tan and he had a bright smile. He was laughing loudly with Sereck beside him, unlike the other two men beside him. He was wearing a heavy armor, and behind him was a huge, two-handed sword. He was chatting with Sereck happily, as if he didn't care about what would happen next.

The other two mercenaries also has their own unique characteristics. One of them was aplump middle-aged man, listening to Sereck and the other mercenary's conversation. His white face looked more like a merchant than a mercenary. But even so, Rhode could tell his true strength from the fluttering dagger in his fingers. The other had a serious expression on his face. His posture was straight and he was looking forward. It could be seen that he was of military origin and had received formal military training.

It seemed Sereck really put in a lot of effort.

Thinking until here, Rhode's eyes narrowed. He was calculating something inside his heart.
