Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

1091 Bottom Line

Long Qian Xing’s eyes flickered slightly when he saw that token.

He was not unfamiliar with it as he had kept it with him for the past two years in case he would need it. However, there was something he felt a bit weird.

The organization structure.

He had long known about Dark Moon Organization having slightly different structure compared to many other organizations. In fact, he even suspected that this organization was trying to imitate the mercenary system in his world.

But he brushed the thought off.

Even he was not that familiar with the complete structure of mercenary organization and how they worked.

Shu Gan (tree trunk), Shu Zhi (tree branches), Shu Ye (leaves), were the other rankings for the others who had quite high ranking. The lowest of them were Shui Guo (fruits) because they were how Dark Moon Organization called those who only came once and do missions occasionally. To become a formal member, they would have to enter rigorous training and so on.

Right now, Long Qian Xing was still Shu Zhi and hadn’t managed to increase the ranking.

Long Xu had worked hard, but in order to qualify, they had to be able to finish special mission. And based on what he had seen based on his experience, all of them were extremely dangerous that even he only had 40% confidence to be able to survive.

.....

And Long Qian Xing didn’t want to lose his men yet.

That was why he didn’t allow Long Xu to take the mission unless he had 80% confidence to be able to survive.

After Shu Zhi is Shu Gan.

The woman in front of him is at that ranking.

However, it was clear that Master Jiu must be of higher ranking based on the way Leader XI was still following that person’s order. He hadn’t heard of the numbered expert doing missions, though.

Once they were selected as the numbered expert, they would be given some specific mission for them to fulfill for the rest of their lives. That was why it was rare for the numbered expert to appear.

Master Jiu was one of the few whom he heard from time to time doing some missions.

And it seemed that despite the number being the biggest, he was instead the one with the highest ranking to the point of being able to order a Gan?

Long Qian Xing didn’t dwell that long on the thought.

“I see. Many thanks for Leader Xi for delivering this to me.” Long Qian Xing cupped his fist formally.

Leader Xi looked at Long Qian Xing one more time and sighed. The investigation that their organization done towards Long Qian Xing was not that deep, but it also contained his basic personality.

A gentleman on the outside but a ruthless person inside.

Now that she was interacting with Long Qian Xing again, Leader Xi felt that his impression that he gave to others would be of how polite and nice he was. However, being the commander at the battlefield and also the leader of a military family alone had already showed that he was not as simple as that.

“Before I can give it to you, there are some questions that Master Jiu want to ask you,” Leader Xi said unhurriedly. That annoying Master of hers still wanted her to be the one to ask the question.

“Please ask.”

“There’s an easier deal, why don’t you take it?”

The question startled Long Qian Xing slightly, as he didn’t expect that Dark Moon Organization would know about his conversation with Kuang Shen. It happened in secret and there shouldn’t be anyone nearby.

It seemed that the organization was truly not simple.

Or did they pay special attention to him?

He didn’t know.

He would find out later when he had the time to care.

“There are things that I can’t compromise, no matter what.” Long Qian Xing smiled faintly. “Everyone have their own bottom line. I have one and I’ll never let anyone cross it, not even myself.”

Leader Xi blinked her eyes. She honestly didn’t understand what this question was about and why Long Qian Xing answered this way. While she could guess some things, she didn’t really feel like doing it when she thought about what this young man could do beneath his seemingly amiable appearance.

There was no need for her to court death on her own.

She was only here to finish her mission.

“These things wouldn’t solve your problems completely.” Leader Xi gestured at the box in her hand and Long Xu stepped forward to receive it. In any case, there was no way Long Xu would let Long Qian Xing be the one to step forward to receive the box from Leader Xi personally.

Long Qian Xing nodded. “Thank you for your reminder, but it’s enough for me.”

Leader Xi shrugged. She then threw the token towards Long Qian Xing.

Tep.

“Master Jiu told me to hand it over to you. If you have any other mission, you can use it. However, you have to remember to pay enough.” Leader Xi then turned around and sighed. She really wondered just why in the world did her Master fancied this brat.

If it was her, she would have picked others.

Someone who was more straightforward.

If her adopted daughter was here, she would have long belittled Leader Xi. After all, Leader Xi never settled down.

Her words were nothing more but lies.

Disappearing into the distance, the soldiers were confused when they found out that Leader Xi was gone faster than they thought. Just a moment ago, she was here, but now they couldn’t even see her shadow anymore.

This made them thoroughly confused.

Just where did she go?

Long Qian Xing looked at the token in his hand and pondered for a moment. For some reason, he had the feeling that Master Jiu was treating him a bit too well. While it was true that he had forked a lot of money…

There were many others who were richer than him but would not have this thing.

That Master Jiu shouldn’t be doing this for money alone, right?
