It took a while, but Si Bake finally typed a line: "Doesn't this mean we'll be at the mercy of the boss of the Dragon Soul Mercenary Group?"

"Haha, what a joke."

The Sage sent a mocking smiley face: "At the mercy? Are you an enemy of the Pamir Family? Why would you even think about being at their mercy? Who is the boss of the Dragon Soul Mercenary Group? If he's the boss, then he's a businessman, and as a businessman, doesn't the Pamir Family have the confidence to make him cooperate? Why would you be at his mercy?"

Suddenly, Si Bake was stunned. Yes, he lacked military power, but what he did not lack was money. Since the boss of Dragon Soul was a businessman, this could work!

Pulling out his phone, Si Bake immediately dialed the Blood Kylin's number.

"Beep... beep... Hello, Si Bake Clan Leader, you have half an hour left to find a force to take over." As soon as the call connected, a frosty voice came from the earpiece.

"No, no, no, Blood Kylin Commander, perhaps there is still a chance for us to collaborate. Please give me your boss's number; I'd like to talk with him!" Si Bake hurriedly interjected.

He was moved by the Sage's last option. If he could secure Dragon Soul's boss, he would not only have the strong support of Dragon Soul, but the power he could borrow from Flame Dragon and Burst Flame would be even greater. After all, the alliance between mercenary corps definitely involved an alliance of their bosses behind the scenes. Gaining influence from the boss meant far more than gaining it from the mercenary corps alone!

"You're looking for our boss?" The voice of Blood Kylin came from the handset, filled with surprise.

"Yes, yes, yes, I want to personally apologize to your boss and discuss further cooperation with him!" Si Bake spoke anxiously.

"Alright! I'll ask!"

Beep beep...

Staring at the phone emitting a busy tone, Si Bake waited somewhat nervously.

Ding-a-ling!

A text message alert sounded, and Si Bake hastily checked it. It read, "Mr. Jiang's phone number is..."

Just as Si Bake was about to dial the number from the text message, an incoming call suddenly arrived.

Si Bake froze for a second, his complexion turning pale as his heart seemed to stop beating, and he answered the phone in a flustered tone, "Hello, Chief Judge Xi'er..."

...

In Ross City of the Northern Confederation.

After Jiang Chen had dealt with Bo Keli's matters, he stayed for a short while, greeted Fu Lai'er, Zhu Zhengkun, and Ha Ruisi, and then left the Xingyao Club with Ye Yuwan and the others.

"It's them, follow them!" As Jiang Chen and his party emerged from the club, a deep voice came from a small alley beside the club.

From the alley, Si Mo'er, Bo Keli, and Si Bo'er watched coldly as Jiang Chen and his group walked out of the club. Seeing the four people get into a car, the three of them also got into a vehicle and followed.

"Mr. Bo Keli, Jiang Chen is very likely to have the strength of a Paladin Peak. Are you sure your people can handle him?" Si Bo'er, sitting in the back, spoke with a note of worry.

"Don't worry, the person I've found is a powerhouse on the verge of reaching the Venerable Realm, surely capable of handling him. Damn him! He's ruined me completely, and I'll make sure he pays!" Bo Keli was driving himself, gritting his teeth as he spoke.

"That's reassuring! This bastard, making me lose my job, I will definitely not let him off!"

"This guy, embarrassing me in front of so many people, once we catch him, I'm definitely doing it right in front of Ye Yuwan!" Si Mo'er spoke coldly.

"I'll go first!" Bo Keli glared at Si Mo'er through the rearview mirror, speaking in a heavy tone.

"Yes, yes, of course, Mr. Bo Keli goes first!" Si Mo'er shrank his neck and quickly cowed.

The corner of Si Bo'er's mouth curled slightly. Now that the three of them were in alliance, he would definitely have his turn with Ye Yuwan. He didn't care about the order; all he cared about was doing it in front of Jiang Chen.

"Just think, doing it with Ye Yuwan right in front of that bastard Jiang Chen, the look on his face will surely be priceless! Haha..." Si Bo'er laughed out loud.

"Haha! That must be incredibly exciting!"

"Haha! I just love to see the look of anger and despair in others' eyes! Haha…"

Burke and his companion both burst out laughing.

Not far ahead of the car the three men were driving, a stretched Bentley was slowly moving along.

...

Ding-a-ling-ling!

A ringtone from a cell phone chimed, and Jiang Chen took a glance at his phone. He smiled slightly and casually answered the call, "Hello, who is this?"

"Mr. Jiang, good day. I am Pa Mi'er, the Family Head of the Pamir Family!" a polite voice came through the earpiece.

"The Pamir Family? Mr. Pa Mi'er, are you looking to settle accounts with me?" Jiang Chen's expression darkened as he spoke coldly.

"No, no, no!" Came the anxious voice from the earpiece: "Of course not, of course not. I am looking to cooperate with Mr. Jiang!"

"Cooperate? How so?" Jiang Chen raised an eyebrow.

"I'd like to hand over the oil sales of the entire Yasna Continent… to entrust our family's entire sales in Yasna Continent to Mr. Jiang. I wonder if you're interested in being our family's general agent in Yasna Continent?"

"What? General agent of Yasna Continent?!" Jiang Chen was taken aback for a moment.

He had only thought about obtaining the general agency for Flame Dragon Kingdom; he hadn't anticipated that Pa Mi'er would be so bold as to offer him the whole agency rights for Yasna Continent!

It seemed that Zhang Wenjie's words had indeed provoked Pa Mi'er.

"Yes, the general agent for Yasna Continent!" Pa Mi'er repeated.

Jiang Chen's eyes narrowed slightly, a contemplative expression flashed across them; he didn't believe that Pa Mi'er would make such a choice just because of Dragon Soul.

After thinking for a moment without finding a reason, Jiang Chen said gravely, "It's possible, but I need Mr. Pa Mi'er to clear up a few doubts for me."

"Please ask, Mr. Jiang." The voice of Pa Mi'er through the phone was still very polite.

Jiang Chen's tone was indifferent as he said, "First, why approach me for cooperation? Second, why offer such significant benefits to me? Third, I've always been puzzled, why does a large commercial family like the Pamir Family not have its own military force? I see that Burke is quite capable too!"

"Mr. Jiang, I would have told you even if you didn't ask."

A bitter voice came through the earpiece: "I am seeking your cooperation to have the Dragon Soul Mercenary Group continue protecting our family. I know you might have just acquired Dragon Soul and wish to reorganize it. During this transition period, I still hope you can help by contacting Long Yan or Burst Flame, preferably the Dragon Flame Mercenary Group, since they are currently the world's third-ranked mercenary group, to help with protection!"

"As for why I am offering you such great benefits, that coincides with the reason our family doesn't have its own military force; I can answer both questions at once!"

Jiang Chen nodded, "Then let's hear it."

PS: '「」' Brothers, do you know why I put you last?

These two symbols are just too hard to find. I can't type them on the keyboard—I had to insert symbols manually.

But it still can't be in the format above and below, which does not quite match with yours, so please bear with it.

Also, I still owe three chapters for the 1.1-1.3 million fan points...

Really can't keep up, I'll owe them first, take a breather, and make up for them later.

Thanks, brothers!!!
