Global Lords: Starting with Female Hero Fusion

The Reexamination Room was not far.

Zhao Quan strode at the very front, composed and confident.

Behind him were Zhao Tan and Zhao Mu.

Zhao Chi was between the two of them.

Further behind were several dozen Black Armored Soldiers.

The group quickly arrived at the entrance of the Reexamination Room.

Zhao Huai and Zhao Jiao were already waiting there.

Upon seeing Zhao Quan, the two immediately bowed. "Lord Zhao Quan."

Zhao Quan nodded. "So you’re the ones here. Pathetic, really. Come on, inside."

Zhao Huai and Zhao Jiao stared at Zhao Quan in surprise.

BAM!

Zhao Quan kicked open the door to the Reexamination Room and stomped inside.

Only then did the two of them see Zhao Chi behind the others.

Zhao Huai stared at Zhao Chi. "Holy shit..."

Zhao Jiao was also stunned to see the troop of people behind them.

Zhao Tan said to the Black Armored Soldiers, "You all just wait here. Zhao Chi, and you two, come on in."

Zhao Huai sidled up to Zhao Chi and whispered, "Damn, you’re badass."

Everyone entered the room.

The eight members of the Cao Family were seated.

They all jumped in fright when they heard the door being kicked open with a bang.

Immediately after, they saw Zhao Quan striding in.

The eight members of the Cao Family immediately shot to their feet.

They watched as Zhao Tan, Zhao Chi, Zhao Mu, Zhao Huai, and Zhao Jiao entered one after another.

None of them knew what to say.

Cao Feng, especially, was at a loss when he saw Zhao Chi flanked by nobles.

"Lord... Lord Zhao Quan? Greetings."

The Cao Family members hurriedly greeted him.

Although Zhao Quan’s sphere of influence was Stream Village, he had clout throughout all of River Valley Town.

And Nangu Village, where the Cao Family resided, was also within Zhao Quan’s sphere of influence.

But Zhao Quan ignored them, smiling instead at Gongsun Ning, who was off to the side.

"Sister Ning, sorry to intrude."

Gongsun Ning had also jumped when the door was kicked open.

She was about to get angry, but then she saw it was Zhao Quan.

She couldn’t help but narrow her eyes, staring at Zhao Quan.

Then, she saw Zhao Chi.

Under the circumstances, she could only have one guess.

’So Zhao Chi told Zhao Quan everything, and now Zhao Quan is here to stir up trouble?’

Although Zhao Quan was currently all smiles, humble and polite.

But she was all too familiar with this generic mask worn by nobles.

Gongsun Ning stood up. "Well, if it isn’t Zhao Quan. What’s with the angry entrance? Who’s gotten on your bad side? Tell your Sister Ning, and I’ll make sure you get your satisfaction."

Zhao Quan pointed to Zhao Chi.

"That’s Zhao Chi, a junior from a vassal family under my command. He has good potential, and I have high hopes for him. But someone is always looking for trouble. I heard he’s been tested twice already, yet he just received another notice for a reexamination. I wonder why that is?"

Cao Feng’s face turned pale.

He was terrified.

’Zhao Quan has high hopes for Zhao Chi?’

’Someone is always looking for trouble? Is he talking about me?’

Cao Feng looked at Zhao Chi, trembling.

Zhao Chi smiled and nodded at him.

’Holy shit! It really is me?!’

Cao Feng was about to piss his pants.

But he was just a small fry; Zhao Quan didn’t have time to bother with him.

Gongsun Ning said, "So that’s how it is. No wonder Zhao Chi is so strong; he’s a subordinate you value. But rest assured, no one is deliberately making trouble. This is, after all, a matter of rules."

Zhao Quan sneered. "Rules? What rules? I watched Zhao Chi’s entire fight. Wouldn’t I know if he cheated or not?"

Gongsun Ning laughed. "Who knew you were watching the whole time? If I’d known, I never would have accepted this complaint in the first place. Since that’s the case, we’ll just skip it. Do any of you have an issue with that?"

Gongsun Ning directed this question to the Cao Family.

The entire Cao Family was dumbfounded.

They hadn’t expected the topic to suddenly be turned on them.

The Cao Family elder quickly waved his hands. "No problem, we have no problem at all! It was just our boy here being ignorant. I’ll teach him a lesson when we get back!"

Zhao Quan snorted.

Then he asked, "Sister Ning, I’ll be watching all his upcoming matches as well. After all, this rookie tournament is about strength. I don’t want outside factors to affect him. Is that a problem?"

Gongsun Ning laughed heartily. "How could that be a problem? With your guarantee, no one would dare interfere. You can rest easy."

Zhao Quan nodded. "Zhao Chi, hurry up and thank Lady Gongsun Ning."

Zhao Chi said, "Thank you, Lady Gongsun Ning."

Gongsun Ning smiled. "No need. I also value rookies with good potential. Keep it up, Zhao Chi!"

"Does he still need to be tested?" Zhao Quan asked.

"Haha, don’t be ridiculous. Of course not. Go get some rest," Gongsun Ning said with a wave of her hand.

"Alright. Goodbye, Sister Ning. Let’s go."

From beginning to end, Zhao Quan didn’t say a single word to the Cao Family.

But the members of the Cao Family were all trembling with fear.

Especially Cao Feng, whose eyes were about to pop out of their sockets.

Zhao Chi followed Zhao Quan and the others back to Lounge 7.

Zhao Huai and Zhao Jiao also came in.

Zhao Quan waved his hand casually. "Sit, don’t be formal. Serve them tea!"

Several Female Soldiers in Yellow Armor immediately brought chairs and poured tea.

Zhao Quan looked at Zhao Huai and Zhao Jiao. "What are your names?"

Zhao Huai and Zhao Jiao quickly stood up.

"Reporting to Lord Zhao Quan, my name is Zhao Huai."

"My name is Zhao Jiao."

"I see. Sit down."

Zhao Huai and Zhao Jiao sat down nervously.

Zhao Quan lounged on a reclining chair. "Your branch of the Zhao Family really needs to work harder. To think you’re doing so poorly and still bear the Zhao name..."

The three of them didn’t know what he was getting at, so they all remained silent.

"But it doesn’t matter. Although you’re rather weak, the most important thing is that you’ve thrown your full and complete support behind me."

"Even if you’re weak, as long as you work hard under me, you can rise quickly in a year or so."

"The things I gave, did your family distribute them to you?"

Zhao Huai and Zhao Jiao both shook their heads.

Zhao Chi originally wanted to shake his head too.

But on second thought, he was aiming for the championship.

It was already hard to explain why his strength was so formidable.

If it were an outsider, he could use the excuse of receiving benefits from Zhao Quan.

But in front of Zhao Quan himself, that question was difficult to address.

So, Zhao Chi nodded.

Essentially admitting to it.

Zhao Huai and Zhao Jiao both looked at Zhao Chi, their eyes filled with surprise.

Zhao Quan laughed. "I knew it. Otherwise, there’s no way your strength could have reached this level. It seems your family is planning to invest heavily in you."

Zhao Chi said, "Thank you, Lord Zhao Quan."

Zhao Quan waved his hand dismissively.

"No need for thanks. But... one nurtures a soldier for a thousand days to use them for a single moment. When the time comes that I need you, you better charge forward for me."

"Understood..."

Zhao Quan said, "Mm, all three of you remember this. If you lack strength, you can still survive by being sufficiently obedient. Your branch of the Zhao Family has made a clean break with the resistance, so I can use you without worry. As long as I don’t fall, you will continue to reap benefits, understand?"

"Understood..."

"Heh, alright. I didn’t really need to say all this to you three juniors. Go get some rest."

"Yes, sir!"

The three of them stood up to leave.

"Zhao Chi, don’t forget there’s a reward for the champion. Do your best to win it. You have a chance."

"I will do my best."

"Alright, go on."

Only after leaving the lounge did the three of them finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Back in the arena, Zhao Huai quietly asked Zhao Chi for the full story.

Zhao Chi gave a rough explanation about Zhao Quan placing a bet and everything else.

Zhao Jiao sighed. "With your good performance, it was inevitable that Zhao Quan would notice you. But don’t worry too much. The more he values you, the less likely he is to give you dangerous missions."

Zhao Chi asked, "Logically, a noble should have many subordinates. Why does it feel like Zhao Quan is a bit short-handed?"

Zhao Huai shook his head. "How would we know the specifics? But with the resistance popping up everywhere lately, and the continuous invasions by the Alien Race, even the nobles are probably short on manpower."

Zhao Jiao nodded. "That’s right. To him, we’re like subjects with a Loyalty of 10. Even though our Level is low, once we’re developed, we’ll be very useful to him."

’Subjects with high Loyalty?’

’It really does seem to be the case.’

Zhao Jiao said, "Alright, you should go back and rest. Even a short nap would be good. The quarterfinals will probably be tough."

Zhao Huai nodded. "Right. We can talk after your match. The other fights are all over now, so there’s nothing to watch. Go get some rest."

"Okay. See you later, then."
