Ultimate Village Doctor
Chapter 627: Recruitment
As Wu Tianhao's eyes bore into Wang Chao, the hairs on his body stood on end as if he were being targeted by a beast in the forest, which frightened him into stepping back several paces, his face looking particularly ugly.
The elder with the surname Huang hurriedly stepped forward, positioning himself in front of Wang Chao, and barked, "What are you doing? Let's talk this out."
Wu Tianhao was his Martial Arts School's disciple, and also the son of the richest family, extremely wealthy; his annual sponsorship for the Martial Arts School was over seven figures. Naturally, the elder Huang couldn't let anything happen to him.
Long Xiaoshan said, "Wang Chao, speak nicely."
He then turned to Wu Tianhao and the others, trying to smooth things over, "Sorry about this, my friend has a bit of a temper, please forgive us."
Wu Tianhao's face turned particularly ugly, shifting from green to white. As the son of the richest family, he had never been so humiliated. Although Wang Chao was formidable, in the eyes of someone wealthy like him, he was nothing more than a brute with some strength, someone who could be hired with money.
Now, to be scolded and told to scram by Wang Chao to his face, especially in front of Nie Qi, the princess he had been trying to win over and impress.
Swallowing the rage that was hard to quell, just as he was about to speak, the elder Huang came to his side and whispered a few words in his ear. Wu Tianhao's cheek twitched a few times, and after shooting a venomous glare at Wang Chao, he swallowed his bile.
Even though elder Huang's words were soft,
with Long Xiaoshan's hearing, he naturally caught what elder Huang had said to Wu Tianhao, "Tianhao, this guy is very strong, a master of horizontal training. Even I might not be able to defeat him easily."
Wu Tianhao was taken aback; he knew very well how formidable his master was. He had seen with his own eyes when a group of experts came to Kun City to open a Martial Arts School, they challenged the Huang Martial Arts School, and tens of them were all taken down by his master.
Hearing that elder Huang himself admitted he might not be able to defeat Wang Chao,
Wu Tianhao, no matter how angry he was inside, had no choice but to temporarily hold back.
At that moment, Nie Hongxue strode forward with a solemn voice, "Little Wu, how can you measure such a master with money? Besides, being just a bodyguard is too much of a waste of talent."
Nie Hongxue quickly walked up to Wang Chao, her eyes shining as she sized him up, looking as if she had seen a stripped naked peerless beauty, "Not bad, not bad at all. A master like you buried among the commoners is too much of a pity. Someone with your talent should join our military to serve the country. What do you say about joining our Falcon Troop in the Southwest Military Region? I am the deputy captain of Falcon, and if you join us, you'll definitely become an ace."
Wang Chao glanced coldly at Nie Hongxue and said, "Not interested."
Nie Hongxue frowned—it was unexpected for Wang Chao to be so full of character. However, Wang Chao made a very good impression on her; he exuded an aura of decisiveness in killing, clearly a natural-born King of Soldiers.
"Royal Brother, perhaps you are not aware of Falcon. Falcon is an ace special forces unit, the Sharp Sword of the southwest. Each person chosen for Falcon is one in a thousand, a true King of Soldiers. As soon as you join Falcon, you will be granted the rank of second lieutenant. With your capabilities, you'll surely be promoted to the rank of school officer in a few years. It's even possible that you could be ennobled or made a general in the future. I, Nie Hongxue, can guarantee you this," said Nie Hongxue, her tone full of pride as the Young Master of the Nie Family.
He was also the most outstanding youth in the Nie Family, holding significant sway within the family.
He couldn't imagine a young man like Wang Chao wouldn't be tempted.
To recruit such a high-level master would be enormously beneficial for the Nie Family, and even more so for Nie Hongxue himself. He was confident in winning over such a subordinate to become his right-hand man. A scion of a great family like Nie Hongxue would start laying the groundwork for their future early. Recruiting masters, expanding his influence—people like Wang Chao, he could tell, though very proud, would be extremely loyal and straightforward once won over. This kind of capable and loyal person was definitely the best kind of subordinate.
Wang Chao said with impatience, "I told you, I'm not interested. My life belongs to Brother Long, so save your breath."
Wang Chao had been saved by Long Xiaoshan some months before and then taught martial arts by Long Xiaoshan to take his revenge.
He had said his life belonged to Long Xiaoshan.
Nie Hongxue looked at Long Xiaoshan in surprise.
It was unexpected that Wang Chao had pledged his life to Long Xiaoshan. What merits did this kid have to win over such a loyal and powerful subordinate? To tell the truth, Nie Hongxue was envious. Masters like Wang Chao were too precious, even more valuable than a rare beauty; they should have been reserved for Nie Hongxue.
However, Nie Hongxue did not let his eagerness show on the outside. With a smile, he said, "Brother Long, lucky you for having such a subordinate. Speaking of which, I still don't know where you're from. I am Nie Hongxue from the Qu Jing Nie Family."
Long Xiaoshan replied, "I'm just from a small county in Xichuan, nothing worth mentioning. Now, if you will excuse us, we plan to head up the mountain. If you do not intend to, we will take our leave first."
Long Xiaoshan didn't have the time to waste with these rich young masters.
If he missed the time, the Iron Palm Gang might think he, Long Xiaoshan, was afraid.
Seeing Long Xiaoshan fob him off, Nie Hongxue grew inwardly furious. A person who could win over such a strong follower and travel all the way to Du Long Mountain for a fight, could they really be someone from a small county? He guessed Long Xiaoshan had seen through his intention to poach Wang Chao and thus wanted to separate from him.
But he had already set his sights on Wang Chao.
Missing out on such a talent would surely lead to regret. Nie Hongxue was determined to get what he wanted, and whether it was a person or an object, he had never failed to attain it. He didn't believe he couldn't compete with some unknown youngster.
Even if Long Xiaoshan had some background, it wouldn't be significant in the eyes of Young Master Nie Hongxue of the Nie Family. In the Southwest, the Nie Family never feared anyone when it came to power. Even if there were a few families not inferior to the Nie Family, they were not enough to be feared.
So Nie Hongxue would definitely not give up and quickly said, "Hold on, Brother Long. Didn't you say you're not sure how to get to Du Long Mountain? We are also heading there, just follow us. We are setting off right away."
Nie Hongxue was the most influential among these rich heirs, and Wu Tianhao and the others had invited him to ingratiate themselves with Nie Hongxue.
Therefore, when Nie Hongxue spoke, naturally, no one would object.
