Chapter 1621: Chapter 1622: The Beginning of Power Expansion
Wang Qian was worried that Xiang Yu might join a team just to protect himself, so she coughed lightly and said, “Xiang Yu, make your decision wisely. It will determine your future fate.”
Back when they were in the country, Wang Qian had already tried to recruit Xiang Yu.
Xiang Yu’s skills were impressive, ranking among the best in Wolf Fang. If he joined Wolf Fang, his achievents would surely rival her own.
Besides, Xiang Yu had done a favor for their Wolf King, who would certainly put him in an important position.
However, if Xiang Yu joined another rcenary group now, they wouldn’t be enemies with Wolf Fang but definitely not friends either.
Boss Scarface watched Xiang Yu coldly, absolutely unwilling to recruit him into his ranks, since Xiang Yu’s n had killed his brigade leader, a score he must settle.
“Boss Scarface, what do you think about joining you?” Xiang Yu asked sincerely, looking at Scarface.
The people around were surprised, staring at Xiang Yu, not understanding his words.
The two were inherently at odds, and Xiang Yu’s offer to join them was absurd, akin to children playing house.
Scarface’s mind was racing quickly, staring at Xiang Yu, trying to discern sothing from his expression.
All Xiang Yu’s face showed was sincerity.
Scarface began to be confused by Xiang Yu; did the opponent really want to join him? If he truly had the capability, it wasn’t impossible for him to join.
“Okay, co on over,” Scarface said, very calmly, neither showing joy nor anger.
His words left people speechless. Just monts ago, he was clenching his teeth in hatred, and now they were supposed to beco brothers. Could that really happen?
“Forget it, you seem reluctant; I wouldn’t want to be a botherso presence,” Xiang Yu replied with a dry cough.
The crowd’s expressions changed, clearly Xiang Yu was toying with Scarface, and doing it in front of everyone.
Scarface’s face turned sullen as he sat there in silence, not yet the ti to react.
Wang Qian secretly exhaled; if Xiang Yu really joined the Forest Wolves, they would beco adversaries, and future encounters would make them enemies.
Yet she also worried for Xiang Yu, wondering from where their newly established rcenary group found the confidence to challenge the Forest Wolves.
anwhile, those seated next to Xiang Yu couldn’t help shuffling further away, afraid of being caught in his orbit and provoked by the Forest Wolves.
At this ti, Ren Qing, standing behind Ren Hua, nodded internally, surprised by Xiang Yu’s courage.
Despite still harboring resentnt toward Xiang Yu, Ren Qing felt a sense of recognition for him.
“I actually have a suggestion, not sure if it would work.”
Xiang Yu paused after speaking, intending to continue, but Scarface interrupted.
“No way,” Scarface responded bluntly.
“I haven’t even said it yet, how do you know?” Xiang Yu challenged.
“Anything you propose just won’t work,” Scarface said coldly.
He had realized Xiang Yu was determined to oppose him, thus he felt no need for politeness.
“I just wanted a drink,” Xiang Yu said, picking up a bottled water in front of him and taking a sip, “Is that also not allowed?”
Scarface clenched his fists in anger, which he slamd on the table, standing up and pointing at Xiang Yu, “Are you seeking death?”
Scarface’s guards imdiately drew their guns, while Xiaoxuan instantly dashed forward, leaping onto the table with a dagger, kneeling halfway with a poised stance, staring fiercely at Scarface.
The rest stood up, backing away from their chairs.
“Impressive reflexes,” Ren Qing couldn’t help but comnt.
Xiaoxuan’s swift move to shield Xiang Yu wasn’t sothing an average person could achieve.
Even Scarface was startled, shivering at the sight of the glint on Xiaoxuan’s dagger.
Ti seed to freeze, no one spoke, everyone intensely watching the scene unfold.
Only Xiang Yu sat there calmly, smiling at the crowd, as if nothing had happened.
“Can I share my suggestion now?” Xiang Yu leaned back, placing his feet on the table.
Xiaoxuan remained crouched, eyeing Scarface. No one doubted if Scarface’s guards moved, Xiaoxuan would imdiately spring into action.
“My suggestion is simple: If you want to rge, then rge. It’s just us smaller rcenary groups rging, while you larger ones do as you please; we can’t be bothered.”
Xiang Yu glanced around at the rcenary groups and continued, “For so long, you’ve lived in the shadows of others. If we united, we’d form one solid entity, who would dare fear them?”
The “them” Xiang Yu referred to, of course, were Scarface and Wang Qian.
“Every warrior in the rcenary groups are fierce n. Your daily lives are plagued by restrictions, following orders of others. Is this the comfortable life you want?” Xiang Yu lectured, standing and scanning the faces around him, “If you agree, let’s unite. If anyone wishes to join them, I won’t interfere.”
These smaller rcenary groups previously felt very oppressed, always fearing being swallowed, given the big forces like Wolf Fang and Forest Wolves were beyond their capability to challenge.
“I agree,” one person stepped forward with resolute determination.
“ too,” another followed.
Gradually, more participants stood, agreeing with Xiang Yu’s viewpoint. Still, there were others who thought Xiang Yu was ****, standing far away without speaking.
Wang Qian sighed quietly inside; Xiang Yu, no matter where he went, carried an air of kingly dominance.
Scarface’s face was overcast, filled with murderous intent, yet facing Xiaoxuan’s cold gaze, he sensed the specter of death.
It’s a feeling long absent, unexpectedly resurfacing in such a small place.
Counting, Xiang Yu found nine people acknowledged outside himself. He slapped the table loudly, “It’s settled! We are ten rcenary groups; henceforth, we advance and retreat together. If anyone dares harm one of us, I won’t spare them.”
Others were inspired by Xiang Yu’s vigor, voicing their commitnt to unite.
Xiang Yu proceeded, “Going forward, we won’t accept any other rcenary group joining us. We need a na for our alliance.”
This idea suddenly struck Xiang Yu as a way to expedite expansion, given their current vulnerability. If allied, they’d be taken seriously.
“Since Xiang Yu proposed this, how about calling it ‘Xiang Alliance’?” suggested soone from the group…
