"Hello, brother. I am Zhang Erdan, and I make a living under Foreman Wang."
As a mule and horse at the very bottom of Heigouzi City, Zhang Erdan was well-versed in the ways of survival.
The opportunity given by Foreman Wang could indeed allow him to defy fate.
However, foreman Wang is unlikely to give himself only a chance.
This big guy in front of me doesn't look like someone to mess with.
If I get killed here, I'll be in deep trouble.
Therefore, one must proceed with caution before officially joining the guard.
"Alright, stop talking nonsense."
Seeing that Zhang Erdan had backed down, the burly man did not stop.
He pointed away from the mansion and then ordered, "Get out of here right now. This is not a place for you."
"Okay, bro, I'll get out of here myself!"
Zhang Erdan grabbed Li Fan and ran, not giving the burly man a chance to continue his attack.
This left the burly man speechless.
He spread his hands and glanced helplessly at the entrance of the house.
Two figures stood in that direction.
"How on earth did that coward Zhang Erdan get noticed by the foreman?!"
Zhang Ziqiang looked indignant.
He had spent the savings accumulated by his family over generations to get into the guard team.
Why is it that Zhang Erdan, this guy from the mine, can gain Foreman Wang's favor without having to do anything?
Why should he be given this chance to rise to the top?
He was unhappy and dissatisfied, but of course, the arrangements made outside were none of his business.
He didn't dare, nor did he have the guts, to question Foreman Wang's decision.
"I don't care how he was chosen; what we need to do is complete the tasks assigned by the foreman!"
Qian Hu nodded slightly, signaling Zhang Biao outside not to make any rash moves for the time being.
The tasks assigned by Foreman Wang must be completed, but the appropriate degree of discretion must also be maintained.
Having worked for Foreman Wang for so many years, Qian Hu knew very well what kind of person Foreman Wang was.
People are driven by profit; if Foreman Wang is promoting these two, then there must be something wrong with them.
Zhang Erdan can be ruled out first.
The person with the problem must be that young man named Li Fan.
This young man possesses a quality that mineral dust shouldn't have.
Standing there, you can see the arrogance that can't be hidden in his bones.
He didn't take Zhang Biao's provocation seriously at all.
Even if it was just a test, Qian Hu didn't want to offend someone to death.
The first rule of Heigouzi City is: kill if you can, but don't offend anyone; eliminating the root of the problem is the greatest mercy you can show yourself.
......
Is that all?
I'm not done yet!
Zhang Biao received Qian Hu's signal.
Although we were still a little unsatisfied, we had to stop here.
He had to listen to Tiger.
After all, even if you join the guard team, you still need someone to protect you.
"Brother Tiger, those two hillbillies haven't left yet, should I go over there...?"
Behind Zhang Hu, his younger brother asked in a low voice.
Not all the people who come here are members of the guard.
The young men gathered around Zhang Hu were all his followers who hung out on the streets.
I came here today for two reasons: first, to congratulate my boss, and second, to recognize a few familiar faces.
Anyone who manages to infiltrate the guard team will no longer be part of their world.
Remember that face, mark his family and friends, and make sure your mask is on high alert when you're out on the streets.
"Need not!"
Zhang Hu waved his hand, suppressing the inappropriate thoughts that were on his younger brother's mind.
......
The mansion gates were not opened until the sun was high in the sky.
Qian Hu walked in through the door, holding the official document.
"The list of personnel recruited for the Fuqiang Works Section Guard Team is as follows: Wang Kang, Zhang Biao, Li Zihao, Chen Xiong, Li Fan, and Zhang Erdan."
Fuqiang is naturally the name of Foreman Wang.
Each work section is actually contracted out by these foremen.
Of course, the reason they were able to take over the work section wasn't because they were particularly strong, but because they had connections at higher levels.
Otherwise, how could Foreman Wang, with his mere Purple Mansion level strength, have managed to absorb such enormous profits?
Heigouzi City is just a name that sounds rustic.
But the benefits involved are far from insignificant.
Putting everything else aside, the ore produced by the mining area that Li Fan had been working on for three years could even be considered mid-grade immortal stones.
Of course, none of this concerns Li Fan.
Infiltrating the guard team and leaving a record of the Soulfire is only the first step.
......
When Zhang Erdan and Li Fan reappeared, everyone around them looked at them as if they had seen a ghost.
The younger brother who came with Zhang Biao was now feeling a bit scared.
Thankfully, I didn't act impulsively, otherwise they wouldn't even know how they died.
The more unassuming Zhang Erdan and Li Fan appear, the more powerful their backgrounds are.
Such a person is clearly not someone they can afford to offend.
Soon, the group followed Qian Hu into the mansion.
Those who remained outside scattered like birds and beasts.
......
"Brother Erdan, Brother Li Fan, I misjudged you just now."
"Give me a chance, bro! We're drinking until we drop tonight!"
Upon entering the mansion, Zhang Biao immediately put on a smiling face.
"Thank you very much, Brother Biao!"
Zhang Erdan had no reason to refuse Zhang Biao's invitation.
Because he knew very well why he was able to join the guard team.
Compared to the others around him, he had the weakest foundation.
After all, everyone else has connections and power, but he only relied on... well, never mind, I don't want to think about it anymore.
What does the future matter if we can live a better life?
......
"Before joining the guard team, you need to undergo a comprehensive qualification test."
Including but not limited to cultivation level, physique...
Qian Hu led the six people to the martial arts training ground in the house, where Zhang Ziqiang was instructed to conduct tests on them.
Of course, the main purpose was to test Li Fan.
Since the covert approach failed, let's try the open and aboveboard.
"Zhang Biao, Third Grade Marrow Cleansing."
"Wang Kang, second-rank Qi cultivation."
"Li Zihao, second-rank Qi cultivation."
"Chen Xiong, second-rank Qi cultivation."
"Zhang Erdan, not up to standard."
Among the group of martial artists, Zhang Erdan's unranked status stood out somewhat.
Of course, no one present was surprised.
After all, no matter how you look at it, Zhang Erdan is the most despicable person in Heigouzi City.
Zhang Biao had naturally thought of this as well.
Similarly, he became even more convinced of one fact: Zhang Erdan's background was unfathomable.
He might even be Foreman Wang's...illegitimate son!
However, he is too ugly.
Wait... could it be him?!
Zhang Biao's attention instantly fell on Li Fan.
This guy has been silent since morning, acting all high and mighty like some other guy.
If someone is indeed Wang's illegitimate son, then it can only be him.
Not only Zhang Biao, but the others also looked at Li Fan at the same time.
"Li Fan, Eighth-Rank Sky Soaring!"
Under everyone's watchful eyes, Li Fan revealed his cultivation level.
The Eighth-Rank Soaring Technique left everyone present stunned.
Zhang Erdan's eyes were glazed over, his Adam's apple bobbing as if he wanted to swallow, but he only received a dry response.
An eighth-rank Sky Soarer—that's an incredibly important figure.
This is the kind of person who has been mining with me for three years and whom I have called Brother Fan for three years.
Just thinking about it feels like a dream.
Zhang Biao, who was standing to the side, reached out and wiped the cold sweat from the tip of his nose.
Grass!
I almost offended an eighth-rank Sky-Soaring expert. If he had been in a bad mood at the time, he could have easily crushed me.
"An eighth-rank Sky Soaring cultivator, come and spar with me?"
On the stage, Zhang Ziqiang waved.
