“I don’t want to lie to you my friend, what you said is correct. I figured that you can tell we are all from poor families. Actually the ten plus members of the Greenwolf Gang, we are all orphans, and grew up in the city since childhood.” The leader sighed.
Qing Shui laughed, as he fixed his gaze on the eyes of the youth. “I don’t care if what you are saying is the truth, or even if it’s all lies. Why are you telling me all of this? Do you want me to give you money? Sorry, but I’m a poor man too.”
The leader stared at Qing Shui, dumbstruck. Momentarily going speechless.
“I’m not a beggar, I just want to work with you!” The leader hurriedly said. This time around, control was slipping from his grasp.
“Cooperation? Why do I want that?” Qing Shui creased his brows, why in the world did this bunch of hooligans want to work together with him?
“We want you to join our gang, no, we want you to lead us.”
The words from the leader caused Qing Shui to be startled, what the hell was going on?
“I will give you five minutes, let’s see if you will be able to move me with your words.”
“We know that you are Qing Shui from the Qing Clan, and hope that if in the future, if you need any help, you can look for us. We have networks all around the city, and know of the latest updates and news of things happening. We are willing to be your arms and legs. Somehow, I feel that you are someone who would be able to accomplish great things, leading us to greatness. Look at us, a bunch of scallywags with nothing but brute strength. If we ever wanted to rise and have power of sorts, we can only choose to follow someone that’s powerful.”
“You say that you know all of the happenings in Hundred Miles City? Tell me something that can prove your worth to me.”
“The black fish of Yu He Inn, were provided by you.”
“……”
Qing Shui was extremely astonished in his heart, but he did not allow his surprise to show on his face. He only took out pen and a paper as he wrote, “Wu-Shuang, swiftly return to Hundred Miles City upon seeing this. I have a solution for your problem.”
“Bring this to the Heavenly River City, I don’t care what method you use. As long as you pass this letter to a person named Wenren-Wushuang before 10 days is up. She’s extremely beautiful, and is on her way to the Xue Clan. As long as you complete this, I’m willing to cooperate with you.”
After which, Qing Shui handed the letter over to the leader.
“This is 500 taels of silver. For your expenses. Don’t be afraid to spend the money, I only request efficiency. If you can’t even accomplish this, there’s no need to look for me any longer.”
Qing Shui left right after saying those words.
“Boss, is he worth us following him?” the skinny guy asked with doubt in his tone.
“I have researched his history and linked various happenings with him after he had arrived in Hundred Miles City. He is definitely not someone ordinary. We would surely thrive if we threw in our lot with him.”
The others all went silent, because they knew that their leader had exceptional judgement. Very quickly, their eyes were all filled with conviction!
