Chapter 399 - 396: Parting Ways
"Join the Black Market?"
Zi Tianqiong was somewhat stunned, as if he had lost his soul. His original intention was to let Ye Xuan establish a new force and form a friendly relationship with the Black Market, nothing more. He did not expect Ye Xuan to actually suggest that Ao Tian and the others join the Black Market. This was indeed something he had long desired, and happiness had come so swiftly that he had not yet reacted.
"Exactly, what’s wrong, does Uncle Zi not wish to?"
Ye Xuan felt that joining the Black Market would save him from the many troubles of creating his own faction. However, if Zi Tianqiong was unwilling, then that would be the end of it.
After all, the Black Market belonged to others; Ye Xuan was merely making a suggestion, not setting anything in stone.
"How could that be possible? I, Zi, only fear that my Black Market territory is too modest, just a Fourth Grade force. With your strengths, I’m afraid you might look down on it," Zi Tianqiong quickly explained.
"What does that matter, Mother, Elder Ao Tian, do you have any objections?" Ye Xuan turned to Ao Tian and Su Ying. The decision largely rested on their views.
"I have no problem," Ao Tian shook his head. Whether they joined the Black Market or not made no difference to him. Ye Xuan had said that upon joining the Black Market, they would not get involved in its affairs, paving the way for an easy life.
Although he had a violent disposition, he was a man of his word and grateful for benefits received. Since Ye Xuan had rescued him from the Ice Prison, he had not yet been able to repay the kindness. Now, joining the Black Market was a minor matter.
As for Su Ying, she certainly wouldn’t have any issues.
"Good, then I will immediately begin preparations. The two of you will be the Supreme Elders of my Black Market, with a status surpassing others, even above me. How do you find that?" Zi Tianqiong knew this was a perfect opportunity to win over powerful allies. If he could bring strong individuals like Ao Tian and Su Ying into the Black Market, there was no doubt the force’s strength would grow considerably, rivaling that of a Fifth Grade force. He had been waiting for this day for a long time.
