Chapter 290: The Mercenary Captain (1)_1
Xiao Muli followed the mercenaries out for training, and Situ Xin, worried about his safety, had asked the people of The Dark Division to keep an eye on him. It was precisely because Situ Xin asked The Dark Division to pay a little attention to Xiao Muli.
That she learned about the various experiences he had while out with the mercenaries. There was danger, there was difficulty. Yet, Xiao Muli had toughed it out.
While on a mission with the mercenaries, during a critical moment, Xiao Muli risked his own injury to save three members of the mercenary team. And it was precisely because of this act that the mercenary team truly accepted him, even though he wasn’t one of their own.
The captain of the mercenaries, due to this incident, considered Xiao Muli his potential successor. Of course, this played the biggest part. The captain’s desire to have Xiao Muli take over was also shaped during their time together, through understanding Xiao Muli’s character and skill. He knew Xiao Muli was a responsible person and that having him as the leader of the mercenaries would greatly benefit their future development.
The mercenary captain’s thoughts were known to the other members. Upon witnessing Xiao Muli’s skills and courage, they too accepted their captain’s plan.
They hadn’t expected such proficiency from the young man. Although at first, his lack of experience showed, with time, Xiao Muli’s experience grew, complementing his skills, earning the admiration of the veteran members.
And Xiao Muli never would have imagined that this band of mercenaries would become his backup force.
Though Situ Xin promised Xiao Muli he would leave the handling of the Xiao Family to him, she still instructed her people to suppress the Xiao Family secretly and to collect information on their movements. "Muli, if you need any data or help, you can come to me. Of course, you can also look for him." Worried that Xiao Muli might be too embarrassed to seek her help, Situ Xin thought it over before handing Liu Yuxiang’s business card to Xiao Muli. "He will do his utmost to help you."
"En, thank you, Xiao Xin," Xiao Muli said as he took the business card from Situ Xin’s hand, but whether he would seek Liu Yuxiang’s help was another matter.
"Xiao Xin, how do I solve this problem?" Murong Wanyu held an exercises book, turned her head while biting on her pen, and looked expectantly at Situ Xin, waiting for her to explain the problem.
"Ai, how can you be so dense, not even knowing such a simple question? You always bother my Baby." Over the years, Murong Wanyu had grown closer to Situ Xin and the others, but Situ Jin still clashed with her. Every time he saw Murong Wanyu talking to Situ Xin, he would mock her.
