Chapter 2838 We Didn’t Agree To This, Did We?(3)
"Uncle long, what is your choice? just tell me directly!" Someone couldn"t wait and urged.
"Alright! Then I"ll say it. " Uncle long didn"t get angry at being urged. Instead, he was still smiling.
Then, he cleared his throat and said,""Although we have many rules in Demon City, the most important one is loyalty! He had to be absolutely loyal! If you want to join Demon City, you can"t be half-hearted! Since you"ve joined Demon city"s big family, you must do your best to protect Demon city"s interests, and place Demon city"s interests above your families ". Of course, the resources we can provide you are definitely beyond your imagination! However, I won"t give you these resources for free. You"ll have to put in a certain amount of effort to get them, do you understand what I mean?"
How could the representatives present not understand? Uncle Dragon"s intentions were clear. Back when they had answered the question, they had already come into contact with him. However, they never thought that they would have to make another choice. And this choice would determine whether Demon City would accept them or not.
At that time, they had the chance to pa.s.s the test because they had told the truth. In this truth, someone naturally mentioned that the interests of the family were more important than anything else! The families that replied in this way were obviously not within the scope of uncle long and the others "consideration. However, because of their honesty, uncle long and the others still gave them an equal opportunity.
After hearing uncle Long"s words, the representative who had said that the family"s interests were more important than anything else knew that his family had no chance at all. Therefore, he immediately questioned,""I can understand that Demon City needs our loyalty, but why won"t you give us your resources for free if we"re loyal to you?"
Uncle long looked at the family representative, who was obviously looking for trouble, and said with a cold smile,""Why should I give it to you for free? This is the first time I"ve heard that the major clans are supporting their va.s.sal clans for free!"
"It is! Without any labor, wasn"t it a fool"s dream to get protection and resources with just a word of loyalty? Not to mention you families with no blood relations, even if you"re a branch of the ning family, you wouldn"t dare to say that you"re getting resources for free!" Master ning, who was sitting on the side, sneered when he heard this, and instantly blacklisted the family of this representative.
"You b.a.s.t.a.r.d!" This person was clearly here to find trouble!
Who didn"t know that the relations.h.i.+p between the big families and the affiliated families was that of being affiliated and being affiliated! The subsidiary clans relied on the enormous resources and powerful strength of the subsidiary clans to receive the protection of the other party in the divinity. The affiliated family would gain the loyalty of the other party, and in this relations.h.i.+p, the status of the affiliated family was completely equivalent to that of the servant. Since they were the servant, how could they ask the master to support them for no reason?
Why? There was absolutely no such saying in the immortal realm!
"Didn"t you ... Invite us to Garrison in Demon City?" After thinking for a long time, the family representative finally said.
"You were invited to enter? Are you daydreaming? We hinted in the announcement that we are recruiting affiliated families, don"t you know what it means to be affiliated families?" Uncle long said with a faint smile.
This time, that person could no longer quibble! With uncle long and master ning"s agreement, no one dared to question anything. Finally, uncle Dragon told them that if they wanted to become a subsidiary family of Demon City, they would need to sign a loyalty contract!
Hearing this, the expressions of the representatives present changed.
Loyalty and signing a loyalty contract were two completely different things! After all, as long as one had a mouth, one would be able to speak of loyalty. However, after signing the loyalty contract, if one were to betray, the punishment would definitely be unbearable! None of the people present had thought that they would need to sign a loyalty contract. This way, it was not something that the family representatives could decide.
After someone expressed their thoughts to uncle Dragon and the others, they were very understanding and gave them a month"s time to return and discuss with their families. After thinking it through, they would become a member of Demon City! Naturally, they would be protected by Demon City!
After sending off the last dozen or so families, uncle long and the others had some free time.
A few days later.
In the garden, master ning was yawning in boredom. When he saw uncle long coming over, he immediately pulled uncle long over to make a bet with him.
Seeing this, uncle long shouted helplessly,""If you"re really that bored, you can go back to the ning family and manage your grandchildren!" Why are you bothering me!
Uncle long was so frustrated. It had been half a month, but there was no news from any of the families. Was this the sign of recruitment failure? He was quite worried, but at the same time, he felt angry for the shortsightedness of those families!
Hmph! If they failed, they failed. Sooner or later, they would regret it! Uncle long secretly complained to himself.
Master ning, who was being yelled at, was thick-skinned and obviously didn"t mind that uncle long was angry. He even added fuel to the fire."Old dragon, let"s make a bet and see how many families will be smart enough to make the right choice, okay? The one who loses has to agree to one condition. How about it?"
"Not much! Are you really that free? If you"re bored, go pull out the gra.s.s!" Uncle long couldn"t take it anymore and roared.
Obviously, he was already very annoyed, but this old man still wanted to bet with him! Bet your sister! What"s there to bet on? Uncle long was very angry, and he glared at master ning with his fiery eyes.
But master ning didn"t care at all and said with a smile,""Old dragon, I know you"ve been very angry recently. Calm down! Even if those small families are unwilling, so what? that"s because they have no foresight, and it has nothing to do with us!"
"The entire firmament knows about the recruitment plan this time. Don"t you feel embarra.s.sed if you don"t recruit even one in the end?" Uncle long couldn"t help but ask.
He didn"t believe that the ning family"s old boy"s att.i.tude was so good that he didn"t care at all? Brother Dongfang Yue was also quite troubled recently! More importantly, this would affect Demon city"s future development. Hence, it was necessary to recruit new blood! Meanwhile, uncle Dragon, who had long since treated Demon City as his home, naturally hoped that Demon City would one day replace the misty Castle! At the same time, he wanted to give Xue "er, who was in seclusion, a surprise. He hoped that by the time Xue" er came out of her seclusion, Demon City would already be in a relatively large scale!
However, before this idea could be realized, it seemed to be on the verge of defeat. How could he not be anxious? He wasn"t as heartless as master ning!
"What"s there to be embarra.s.sed about? It"s such a good opportunity, yet those small families don"t know how to grasp it properly. They"ll regret it in the future. " Master ning said calmly.
"Alright! You"re right, but I"m still depressed. Why didn"t any family know how to grasp such a good opportunity? You must know that there might not be such an opportunity in the future, but even if you recruit people, I"m afraid it won"t be as simple as this time!" Uncle long sighed with hidden bitterness.
"Old dragon, calm down! Don"t bother with those annoying things, let"s make a bet!" Master ning still didn"t forget to make a bet with uncle long.
Uncle long was truly helpless. This old man was really ...
"Hmph! Let"s bet then, who"s afraid of who?" Then, uncle long made up his mind and said,"
"That"s more like it! Come, let"s bet on how many families will have good eyes. " Master ning said happily when he saw that uncle long had compromised.
"Five! There are at least five!" Uncle long said immediately.
"I said there are three!" Master ning also said. This was the conclusion he had made after a.n.a.lyzing and understanding those families in detail.
"So little?" Uncle long frowned and looked at master ning with dissatisfaction. This old man was really too detestable! This was clearly boosting other people"s morale and diminis.h.i.+ng their own prestige! Why did he not believe in the attraction of Demon city"s signboard?
"Quite a few!" Master ning said confidently.
Not long after, Dongfang Yue and the others who had heard about the bet also requested to join in. The bet between uncle long and master ning had become an important event for the bored Supreme G.o.ds in Demon City. Even Huo Yue and the other Qilin had come to join in the fun.
Seeing the Yue fire, uncle long naturally remembered the good things this guy had done when he was the head Examiner. He said angrily,""What are you still doing here? Go back to your Qilin clan!"
"Hehe! I"m sorry, but I"m afraid I"ll have to appear in Demon City more often in the future. I"ve already discussed with the ancestor to set up a branch of the Qilin race in Demon City. The ancestor has agreed to it, and I"ve also chosen the location. We"ll be starting work soon!" Huo Yue said with a proud smile.
When uncle long heard this, his face darkened immediately!
F * ck! Why didn"t they know anything about this? Did these Qilins really think that Demon City was their backyard? He wanted to set up a branch in Demon City, yet he didn"t even acknowledge the master? Tell me only after you"ve decided? Who was that? Did they agree?
Uncle Long"s expression was extremely unsightly. He glared at Huo Yue and said,""We didn"t agree to this, did we?"
"The ancestor has agreed. If you have any different ideas, feel free to bring them up! I"m just an errand boy doing hard work. I don"t care about the affairs between you high-level people!" Huo Yue pushed the responsibility to his ancestor.
"……"
Your sister! Hearing Huo Yue"s words, uncle long really wanted to scold Qilin! What would he say if he went to find the ice Spirit? Did he object? Demon City doesn"t welcome Qilin"s presence?
