The bandit leader's words stunned everyone around him!
Ye Yun: Is he crazy? He even dares to recruit their prince into his group!
The bandits of Silver Tiger Stronghold: What's going on? Wasn't our boss here for revenge? How come he's formed a gang and joined forces with others?
The surrounding refugees thought: "The leader of Silver Tiger Stronghold wants to recruit this young master. This young master is so upright, he certainly won't join their bandit den!"
Everyone stared at Xuan Yuanzhan, waiting for his answer.
Xuan Yuanzhan was also surprised that this bandit leader dared to recruit him. He raised an eyebrow and sneered, "I... have no interest in being the third leader of Silver Tiger Stronghold. I might consider being the leader."
Xuan Yuanzhan's words immediately amused Ye Yun and the refugees.
At the same time, the bandit leader felt as if he had been slapped in the face in public, making him feel somewhat embarrassed.
However, considering Xuan Yuanzhan's unfathomable martial arts skills, he didn't dare to get angry: "I sincerely invite you to join our Silver Tiger Stronghold. Although you are the third leader, there are many benefits to you once you join us."
Xuanyuan Zhan raised an eyebrow again, seemingly unconcerned: "What benefits? Tell me."
“It’s not convenient to talk like this.” The bandit leader raised his hands to indicate that he was surrendering, and ran to Xuan Yuanzhan’s side, whispering, “We’re going to do a big deal soon. If you’re willing to join us, you’ll definitely get your share of the benefits.”
"How big of a deal?" Xuan Yuanzhan asked casually, his brows furrowed with sarcasm, as if he didn't believe what he was saying.
Seeing that he didn't believe him, the bandit leader immediately added confidently, "Let me put it this way, I can definitely let you enjoy a lifetime of wealth and luxury!"
Xuanyuan Zhan narrowed his eyes, seemingly intrigued. After a moment of contemplation, he said, "If this deal goes through, I'll get half."
"This..." The bandit leader was immediately stumped and said helplessly, "Do you think that such a big deal is being done by Silver Tiger Stronghold alone? This is a joint operation by all the strongholds in the entire North. If it really succeeds, Silver Tiger Stronghold will only get two or three percent at most. You want to take half by yourself? How can I make that decision?"
Upon hearing this, Xuanyuan Zhan's eyes suddenly lit up.
To get all the bandits in the entire north to do this business together, what a huge deal that must be!
Xuanyuan Zhan's mind worked quickly, and he seemed to suddenly understand what these bandits were trying to do.
Fearing that Xuan Yuanzhan would refuse to join Silver Tiger Stronghold, the bandit leader immediately made a new promise: "How about this, if this deal goes through, I'll give you half of what Silver Tiger Stronghold gets. That should be fair enough, right? Half for the whole Silver Tiger Stronghold, and half for you."
"Deal." Xuan Yuanzhan seemed tempted and immediately agreed, shouting loudly to everyone, "From today onwards, I am the third leader of Silver Tiger Stronghold!"
Everyone was stunned when Xuan Yuanzhan said this.
Ye Yun: Has the prince gone mad?! He's the third leader of Silver Tiger Stronghold? What the hell?!
The bandits of Silver Tiger Stronghold: What did the chief say to him that made him agree to become the third leader of Silver Tiger Stronghold?
The surrounding refugees: No way, are they hearing things? Such an upright young master has been tempted by Silver Tiger Stronghold? He's going to become their third-in-command?
The bandit leader was overjoyed to have finally persuaded Xuan Yuanzhan: "Good brother, with your skills, if you were to participate in this deal, we would definitely be halfway to success."
He had personally witnessed this kid's skills; he estimated that none of the top experts in the entire northern region could last more than ten moves against him.
With such a capable person as an assistant, what big things can't we accomplish!
As the bandit leader spoke, he turned around and shouted at the bandits behind him, "What are you all standing there for? Hurry up and pay your respects to the new third leader!"
Those bandits were all opportunists; they didn't care who the third-in-command was before. Now that the leader said this person was the third-in-command, then he was the third-in-command!
Moreover, they had all witnessed this person's prowess firsthand; his martial arts skills were many times greater than their leader's. He was more than capable of being their third leader, let alone their leader!
"Greetings, Third Master!"
The bandits called him "Third Leader" willingly and wholeheartedly!
The refugees were somewhat bewildered when they saw Xuan Yuanzhan enter Silver Tiger Stronghold so easily.
After a while, everyone came to their senses, and one of the refugees couldn't help but remind them, "Young master, these people are all bandits. How can such a good person like you associate with them?"
He wouldn't even bother reminding anyone else.
But this young master just shared his rations with them. How could such a kind young master become a bandit with these wolves and tigers?
Seeing that the refugee was talking too much, the bandit leader was afraid that Xuan Yuanzhan would change his mind, so he angrily raised his hand and swung his axe at the refugee.
"Clang!" Before the axe could hit the refugee's head, Xuan Yuanzhan swung his sword away from the axe in the bandit leader's hand.
The bandit leader's hands were so numb and trembling from the shock of Xuan Yuanzhan's attack.
He simply swung his hand casually, but the force was so great that it almost crippled his hand.
Xuan Yuanzhan stared coldly at the bandit leader: "I can be the third leader, but Silver Tiger Stronghold is not allowed to bully or harm the people anymore. Anyone who violates this rule will be executed on the spot!"
Xuan Yuanzhan's icy, piercing gaze terrified the bandit leader.
Although he wasn't familiar with this person, he knew he was serious and wasn't joking!
Although he felt his authority had been suppressed, the bandit leader didn't want to argue with Xuan Yuanzhan because of their big business.
After all, this person was extremely skilled in martial arts, and he wanted to use him to make that big deal.
As for these common people, they had already robbed everything they could, and there was nothing left for Silver Tiger Stronghold to take action against.
The bandit leader shouted at the people behind him, "Did you hear what the Third Master said? From now on, all brothers of Silver Tiger Stronghold are forbidden from oppressing or harming the people. Anyone who disobeys will be executed!"
If this big deal goes through, they won't need to rob these people anymore.
If you succeed the first time, your future will be bright!
So at this moment, he didn't mind giving Xuan Yuanzhan face and restraining the brothers of Silver Tiger Stronghold according to his requirements.
The bandits looked at each other in bewilderment upon hearing this, wondering how they, as bandits, could not possibly refrain from harming the common people.
If they don't harm the people, can they still be called bandits?
Although they questioned the sudden order, none of the bandits dared to object.
Their leader has already agreed, so what else can they say?
"Don't worry, boss and third boss, we will never oppress or harm the people again."
"We will never oppress or harm the people; anyone who violates this will be willing to be beheaded!"
"We will all obey the First Boss and the Third Boss. If the First Boss and the Third Boss tell us to go east, we will go east; if they tell us to go west, we will go west. We will never disobey the orders of the First Boss and the Third Boss!"
