BXBX NOVEL Chapter 319: Who’s Taking the Advantage
"Elders, let me introduce to you." Pam Honzi nodded to Qian Jin. "This is Grandmaster Qian. You may have known him from the portrait! Now the real man is here..."
A commotion arose in the quiet hall! In no time, the elders started to exchange conventional greetings with this Grandmaster Qian.
Standing by the door, Pam Monyun blankly looked at what happened in front of him! He was completely shocked! From time immemorial he had been rejected even to be a guard in the lobby! But today, because of Qian Jin, he was here! He saw those elders!
The elders, to be frank, always put on airs with coaches, footmen, and guards! Look at how polite and modest they were now... Thank God he had reacted promptly that day... Otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to stand here today.
After the greetings, the lobby seemed to have been livened up!
But Qian Jin was embarrassed by how they addressed him. Grandmaster? That was ridiculous! He was now just an apprentice in Mystic Potion and a high-level pharmacist only! He could only be called as a grandmaster when it came to forging! But those elders didn’t know it at all... If Eulalia happened to know this...
With a stiff smile, Qian Jin wiped away the cold sweat on his forehead! Of all his teachers, none were easy to deal with...
Carrying a cup of tea, Pam Honzi walked around the room and he was very satisfied with the elders today! They had at least restrained their arrogance in front of this honorable guest!
They were actually doing this for the benefits of their offspring! These senior Hydras had awakened their bloodline power, but it didn’t mean their kids and grandkids would get it!
What if they couldn’t? What would happen? The elders were more aware than anyone else! That’s why they were so willing to socialize.
Although the Family Leader had the final say about how to distribute the 1,000 bottles, they knew full respect needed to be paid to the Mystic Pharmacist!
More importantly, Pam Honzi was so impervious to personal appeals as he had been impenetrable in the face of official approaches. Rather than contending with him for nothing, they were better ingratiate themselves with this young Mystic Pharmacist!
"Guys, you have already presented yourselves to the grandmaster. Now back to your seats." Pam Honzi raised his hand, trying to keep the chaos under control. "Now I have something to say to you!"
Those caring parents groaned with dissatisfaction as they crept back to their seats! They needed more time! They haven’t invited the grandmaster to their houses yet!
"Grandmaster..."
"Family Leader..." Qian Jin interrupted with hands folded in front. "Please call me Qian Jin. I have no pretensions to the title of grandmaster."
Bewilderment flashed across the calm eyes... Pam Honzi had set up his mind that no matter what Qian Jin said, he must stay cool! But before he could attend to the business, this young man had already impressed all of them! Though the grandmaster title was nothing like God-tier blacksmith Master, it bore great honor and respect! What’s wrong with it?
"I mean it, call me Qian Jin." Qian Jin said in all sincerity. Every time he heard it, he would think of the exciting face of Eulalia! Honestly speaking, it was a torture...
"Alright!" Pam Honzi stopped badgering Qian Jin with the name for fear that he would say more scary words...
"Here’s the thing, Qian Jin." Pam Honzi adjusted his posture. Putting his left leg on the right and leaning back in his chair, he looked quite cordial. "I know, you are not used to the assisting elder position. I don’t want to make it a trade between us. To tell you the truth, I want cooperation or, alliance..."
The eyes of Lucifer Lucy suddenly lightened up! She had underestimated this Family Leader... He extended his wishes for an equal cooperation to this young man who seemed of no significance at all! The Pam Family was, after all, one of the ten bloodlines in the Zence Empire!
Cooperation? Alliance? The elders were shocked! Was the Family Leader out of his mind? Qian Jin was a talent! But he only deserved money and a position of assisting elder!
Looking at the elders, Pam Honzi smiled! It seemed that they surely didn’t know what Qian Jin had done two days ago! He did it right keeping it a secret! Once words spread out, other forces might come and fight for Qian Jin! That was the last thing he wanted!
The elders calmed down soon enough! Pam Honzi was wiser but also more commanding than all the former leaders! In the past, a meeting had always matched its name. Sometimes elders would join together to refute the leader.
But now... A meeting was just about a notice... They knew they could change nothing since Pam Honzi had called it cooperation...
However, Qian Jin was a little surprised by the proposal! Pam Honzi was exactly the same as he had been depicted in the rumors... Qian Jin was fully aware that being a young man who had just made his debut in the world, a proposal like this was, in fact, a flattery!
"I’d like to..." Qian Jin shrugged. "If you are interested..."
Contempt was there, in the elders’ eyes! He would absolutely like to... Pam Family was so helpful...
Pam Honzi shook his head on the silly reaction... It was hard to tell who was taking the advantages here... Qian Jin was definitely a potential stock...
"Good!" Pam Honzi snapped his fingers. "I have already done the paperwork..."
Taking the thick book over, Qian Jin started to realize how serious this family leader was! He meant to cooperate instead of recruit!
Contracts were of great significance no matter in the Zence Empire or the Demon Empire. If Pam Family violated any clause in it, their reputation would be harmed!
Standing by Qian Jin, Fanta Kunge and Lucifer Lucy lowered their voices. "Just sign your name! We have already take care of the negotiation!"
A light broke in upon Qian Jin! The well-informed man next to him was from the Fanta Family and the woman was a Lucifer royal member of the Demons!
Although the Zence Empire had always labeled the Demons as ruthless and greedy savages, they were a tribe that had a civilization of their own... That was why they had been standing erect from the time immemorial...
Born into the Lucifer royal family, the female demon here had determined to be the Queen since childhood... She had been trained as a negotiator...
From their red eyes, Qian Jin knew that they had put much of themselves into the negotiation...
He shrugged, picked up the pen, and wrote his name on the contract... The two experts had already seen it, and Qian Jin believed they had fought for him the most benefit...
Qian Jin had confidence in himself when it came to forging or pharmaceuticals... But negotiation? It was really his weak spot which required lots of experience...
After exchanging the signed contract, Pam Honzi gazed at the two negotiators and said, "I’m getting old! Your friends here really excel in talking... They are even better than I was in their age... It looks like this world will soon belong to the younger generation..."
Qian Jin put the paperwork into his Warrior Dimension, which once again drew the attention of the elders! "What a lucky a**! Why does this ordinary warrior have such nice items?" They thought.
"Now we are in an equal cooperative relationship, but I will still give you the potion first as I promised!" In his Warrior Dimension, Qian Jin fished out bottles of awakening potion...
The elders suddenly dilated their eyes and stared at the bottles... The room became so quiet that Qian Jin could even hear them swallowing their drools.
Seeing the trying elders, Pam Honzi was amused! He turned to Qian Jin again. "Now there is only one month from your battle against the Qian Family... Things may get nasty this time... Do you need me to say some words for you?"
The Pam Family elders were surprised for another time! The two families never liked each other... What’s the problem with the Family Leader today? And Qian Jin... What’s the story between him and the Qian Family......?
Say some words? Say what? The smile faded away as Qian Jin thought of his poor father and the overbearing Qian Zhanxuan...
"I say Qian Jin..." Pam Honzi slightly adjusted his sitting posture. "I thought you were open-minded... But why are you in such a bad mood when it comes to Qian Family themed..."
Bad mood? Perhaps it was so... But Qian Jin wasn’t a man without emotions nor a generous and liberal hero in stories told by bards...
Qian Jin had seen his father being insulted because of himself but couldn’t do anything.... How could he smile to his enemies...? Every time he closed his eyes, he could still recall that sight in front of the Qian Mansion... Qian Jin shook his head, trying to jump out of it...
He couldn’t forget and he wouldn’t... Qian Jin took a deep breath. "Thank you, family leader! I’d better do this on my own... If you really want to help, could you please get my father out..."
