Global Lords: Starting with Female Hero Fusion
Chapter 386 - 294: Rapid Development (8)Su Qin shot Xiao Ning a surprised glance. She hadn’t expected her to speak to Zhao Chi in what sounded like a negotiating tone.
But Su Qin’s surprise didn’t last long, as she quickly figured it out.
’After all, it’s Zhao Chi.’
’So dazzling, so handsome.’
’When did he become like this?’
’He was definitely charming before... but not *this* charming... My god... Haaah... ’
It seemed even Su Qin’s pain had faded a little.
Zhao Chi had no choice but to nod. "Of course. What did you want to discuss?"
Xiao Ning smiled. "Zhao Chi, right now you’re just my Vassal Lord. While that makes you an affiliate of our Holy Race, you’re ultimately still an outsider. If you’re willing, you can take a position in my territory and become my direct subordinate. Then, you’ll be a legitimate member of the Holy Race, and I’ll have Su Qin here healed immediately."
Zhao Chi kept his smile plastered on his face, but inwardly, he was cursing her out.
’She wants me to give up my territory and become her personal retainer.’
’If I really do that, I’ll never be able to get back on my feet.’
’There’s no way I can agree to that.’
’But I can’t just refuse her outright...’
’I can stall for time, though.’
Just as Zhao Chi was pondering his response, Su Qin unexpectedly spoke up.
"Zhao Chi, you have to think this through. Don’t worry about me."
Zhao Chi’s heart tightened.
Just as he’d feared, Xiao Ning’s smile froze. She glared sinisterly at Su Qin. "Are you fucking looking to die?"
Zhao Chi quickly feigned fury. "Su Qin, shut your mouth! Is this your place to speak? Stop spouting nonsense."
His voice was so loud that it made Su Qin jump. Even Xiao Ning was taken aback.
The sword in Iwagaki’s hand was nearly drawn from its sheath.
Zhao Chi said, "Xiao Ning, of course I’m willing to become closer with the Holy Race, but I still love the thrill of charging into the fray."
Xiao Ning replied, "No problem! A man should have that kind of drive! If you come over to my side, I’ll make you Commander-in-Chief."
Zhao Chi said, "How about this: let me prove myself tomorrow, and then we can discuss the details."
Xiao Ning was ecstatic. "Really? No problem! Go and prepare. I’ll even send some more men over to you."
Zhao Chi refused again. "That won’t be necessary for now. I want to win this fight with my own strength."
"Alright. I’ll come personally to cheer you on tomorrow," Xiao Ning said, beaming.
"Then what about her?" Zhao Chi asked, gesturing to Su Qin.
"Her?" Xiao Ning’s face fell. She spoke coldly to Su Qin, "Get on your knees, kowtow, and then get the hell out!"
Su Qin gritted her teeth. "I’m tied up. I can’t kneel."
Xiao Ning snorted. "Simple enough. Iwagaki."
The words had barely left her lips when Iwagaki’s sword was drawn.
SWOOSH! SWOOSH! SWOOSH! SWOOSH!
Four slashes cut through the air at Flying Speed. All Zhao Chi could see was a momentary flash of light.
Immediately after, the ropes binding Su Qin’s hands and feet fell to the floor.
Without struggling or hesitating, Su Qin immediately dropped to her knees.
In the face of life and death, dignity is worthless.
THUD!
Su Qin slammed her head to the floor.
Blood from her face splattered onto the ground.
"Alright, now scram. You’re lucky you and Zhao Chi are from the same family."
"Thank you," Su Qin whispered, then quickly departed.
"See that? She even had to thank me," Xiao Ning said smugly.
But Zhao Chi knew, ’She was thanking me.’
Now, only Zhao Chi remained.
Suppressing his revulsion, he forced himself to chat with Xiao Ning for a while.
Xiao Ning’s Mood visibly brightened.
They made small talk for over an hour. Zhao Chi tried to leave twice, but Xiao Ning stopped him both times.
Helpless, Zhao Chi could only continue the conversation.
Xiao Ning finally relented on his third attempt to leave.
"Alright, then. Go and prepare. Get a good result tomorrow, and I’ll be able to apply to the Holy Race for more resources on your behalf. I can also help you sort out your future Identity."
Zhao Chi feigned delight, thanked her, and left.
Iwagaki watched Zhao Chi’s retreating figure and said in a low voice, "My lady, this Zhao Chi is too strange. He wasn’t like this just a few days ago."
Xiao Ning nodded. "I know. I’m not sure what’s going on with him. The feeling he gives me is just too... well, never mind. As long as he supports the Holy Race, we will of course welcome him."
Iwagaki snorted with disdain. "He’s just a Junior Lord. Far too weak."
Xiao Ning laughed. "I’m a Junior Lord, too, but haven’t I surpassed most people by now? As long as one has Loyalty to the Holy Race, nothing is a problem. Power can be cultivated quickly."
"Loyalty? I can’t see much Loyalty to the Holy Race in that Zhao Chi."
"Didn’t you just hear what he said?"
"That just proves he understands the situation clearly and has no choice but to rely on us, the Holy Race."
"It’s all the same. Relying on the Holy Race will breed Loyalty to the Holy Race. Besides, with him on our side, he can monitor and act as a liaison with the Zhao Family, which benefits me as well."
"Mmm..." Iwagaki nodded. "Then what about the one from the Liu Family?"
"Kill him. He’ll make good feed."
"Understood."
Zhao Chi walked out of the Xiao Family estate and heaved a deep sigh of relief.
’Pretending to be friendly is exhausting.’
’At least it’s over.’
But the thought of the three gorgeous beauties waiting for him back in his territory made his Mood improve considerably, and his fatigue seemed to melt away.
Except for the faint ache in his kidneys.
He hadn’t had time to check the flurry of system notifications he’d received earlier.
He finally opened them to take a look.
As soon as he did, he found they were all messages from Su Qin—dozens of them.
Curious, Zhao Chi began playing them.
They were all voice messages from Su Qin, thanking him. In a few of them, her voice was even choked with tears.
"Zhao Chi... you saved me again."
"I never thought you’d have to make such a huge sacrifice... I wanted to report this situation to the Clan Leader, but... I don’t understand. Do you really want to join that Alien Race?"
"Even if you really do join the Alien Race, I’ll support your decision. I won’t tell a soul."
