Chapter 967: Chapter 338: The Beastmaster’s Invitation (Part 2)

"Dusk Manor? Fifth Level Citizen?"

Chong Yun asked in confusion, "What does that have to do with me? Fifth Level Citizens are troublesome, but our Blood-colored Beast Fighting Arena has nothing to do with him!"

"Besides, the new Manor Master is also a Beast Master, and the fierce beasts he cultivates are among the best of their same level!"

"Beast Master? Are you saying someone bought his cultivated beasts to fight against our arena’s beasts, and we lost?" Chong Yun was no fool, but this guess was too hard to accept!

The Blood-colored Beast Fighting Arena is backed by Dark Star, which gathers the strongest forces in the Yellow Springs Realm. The Beast Masters in the Blood-colored Beast Fighting Arena may not be highly cultivated due to their aptitude, but their experience is not comparable to ordinary Beast Masters!

"I was surprised by this outcome too, but that’s the reality!"

"Wu Cong from the Wu Family’s Second Level Shadow Snake almost cleared out all the Second Level Fierce Beasts in No.1 Arena!"

"However, this new Manor Master from Dusk Manor still gave us some face by not aggressively selling his cultivated beasts. Although it has affected our arena’s interests somewhat, it doesn’t impact the big picture!" Yun Yan said casually.

Doesn’t impact the big picture?

Hearing this, Chong Yun’s face darkened. Yes, the lost profit only matters to him alone, and no matter whether it’s Dark Star’s or Ruishui River’s, he will definitely find a way to make up for it.

Moreover, the situation in No.1 Arena is just a solitary case; the fluctuations in other arenas’ interests are within Chong Yun’s psychological range, except that the money he could embezzle this month is gone!

"Find a way to contact this Dusk Manor. Since there is such strong Beast Taming Ability, why not let him join our Dark Star!"

Yun Yan remarked lightly, "Personally, I think the hope is slim. From the beasts he cultivates, it’s clear he is no ordinary person, especially considering his Fifth Level Citizen status. If an accident occurred, the Ten Temples Department wouldn’t give us any face!"

"Then offer ten times the price, give him the title of Chief Beast Master, and if that’s not enough, offer him a Vajra status!"

Chong Yun knew very well that dealing with a Fifth Level Citizen’s status is tricky; if mishandled, the Ten Temples Department might come after them. The Ten Halls Yama has been eyeing the Mountain City Dark Star industry for quite some time.

"Vajra status?" Yun Yan looked at Chong Yun with some surprise, not expecting this greedy man to actually have such boldness.

Chong Yun forced himself to bear the reluctance in his heart and said, "This sacrifice is nothing!"

In reality, he was still very distressed; in Dark Star, there are only two types of statuses: the managerial level known as Vajra, and the bottom level known as Dark Hand!

The Vajra position was prepared by Chong Yun for his family’s descendants, but now he can only take it out to ensure his own interests.

"I understand!"

After Yun Yan left, Chong Yun showed a grim expression: "Fifth Level Citizen, why are there Fifth Level Citizens in such a broken place like Mountain City, and happens to be a Beast Master!"

"Could it be that someone in Ruishui River is dissatisfied with themselves?"

"No, it’s not necessarily Ruishui River!"

Chong Yun couldn’t help but have this thought because the status of a Fifth Level Citizen is too important. Fourth Level Citizens can buy land and become lords, only that the Fourth Level Citizen status has many restrictions, and the land they can purchase is very small.

But Fifth Level Citizenship is different; the rights they possess are enough for a Fifth Level Citizen to become a comfortable noble. The number of Fifth Level Citizens in Mountain City can be counted on one hand.

Even Chong Yun himself is only a Fourth Level Citizen, coupled with the intrigue within Dark Star, where various organizational forces compete for control over the Blood-colored Beast Fighting Arena in Mountain City is quite normal!

"Hopefully, nothing unexpected happens!"

.......

"Still haven’t come; truly can keep composed!"

Chen Jiuge took a sip of chrysanthemum tea, reflecting with some sentiment.

As the owner of those fierce beasts flowing into the Blood-colored Beast Fighting Arena, Chen Jiuge naturally knew how strong the beasts he cultivated were!

Perhaps the Chaos Pearl couldn’t exert its former might in the Yellow Springs Realm, but it still provided some auxiliary abilities. Coupled with his rich Beast Taming Ability, the fierce beasts he cultivated might not be the strongest of the same level, but they were top tier.

To make the Blood-colored Beast Fighting Arena notice him faster, Chen Jiuge even sacrificed some profit. Of course, losing money was impossible, just earning a bit less.

Across from him, Xing Xia looked at the man before her with a complex gaze, filled with sentiment: "You’re truly a terrifying person!"

"Terrifying?"

Chen Jiuge chuckled, shaking his head: "I’m not a terrifying person; at least, I consider myself a kind person!"

"Someone who became a First Level Beast Master in just a few months and can cultivate Third Level Fierce Beasts, even cultivating beasts that are the strongest of the same level— isn’t that terrifying?"

"Moreover..."

Xing Xia glanced at the courtyard where Chen Jiuge lived, frowned, and said, "You don’t actually need to employ us; just that Turtle Dragon alone is enough to protect your safety."

"Haha, I’m not good at handling trivial matters, and it’s perfect; I also want to discuss another employment with you!"

"Another employment? You’re not planning to get me to join you, are you?" Xing Xia asked curiously.

"Why not?"

Chen Jiuge revealed a confident smile and said, "The Guard House and guards are merely employment relationships, right?"

"That’s more than enough; at least the Guard House can ward off most troubles. You can’t achieve that now. Whether it’s me or Wild Bear Cold Snake, we are willing to cooperate with the Guard House because we have powerful enemies!"

"At the very least, you can’t protect us now!" Xing Xia replied calmly.

"Is that so? I don’t think it’s necessarily true!"

"Sir, the people from the Blood-colored Beast Fighting Arena have arrived!" Dong Wu quickly approached; Dong Wu was indeed the last Third Level Guard.

"Finally, they’ve come!"

"I’m curious whether the Blood-colored Beast Fighting Arena will choose to recruit you or warn you!"

"Haha, we’ll see then!"

Yun Yan walked into the reception hall with an cold attitude, her clear eyes glanced at Chen Jiuge and Xing Xia, who arrived early. Her gaze paused slightly on Xing Xia before focusing on Chen Jiuge.

"I didn’t expect a Beast Master capable of cultivating elite fierce beasts would turn out to be just a little guy in the First Level!"

Yun Yan’s tone was very plain, but there was a huge wave inside her; it really was just a First Level Beast Master!

"May I ask how to address you?" Chen Jiuge got up and bowed slightly as a gesture.

"Yun Yan."

"Didn’t expect that Manager Yun would personally come; I’m truly honored!"

This wasn’t just being polite; Chen Jiuge was genuinely a bit surprised.

The highest position in the Blood-colored Beast Fighting Arena is naturally Dark Star’s Chong Yun, followed by the Grand Steward Yun Yan, who handles all of Dark Star’s industry. Of course, there is also a military general not less powerful than Yun Yan, but as the Commander of the Dark Star’s violent institution, the general generally doesn’t get involved in business-related affairs.

"Looks like you’ve already anticipated my visit!"

"Then I won’t waste time; here is the temporary offer I’ve organized!"

Yun Yan took out a document from the Storage Ring, placed it on the table, and said casually, "Have a look; if there’s any issue, let me know ahead of time. If there’s no issue, you’ll be the Beast Master of the Mountain City Dark Star."

Chen Jiuge didn’t expect Yun Yan to be so direct, picking up the document to read carefully.

A quarter of an hour later, Chen Jiuge showed hesitation: "This offer doesn’t seem very favorable to me. Apart from the Vajra position that I don’t understand, the rest seems quite ordinary!"

This wasn’t Chen Jiuge trying to drive up the price; the offer was indeed quite average. Removing the unclear Vajra position, the other remuneration was fairly low.

Not only did he have to help the Fighting Arena cultivate a certain number of fierce beasts, but the monthly salary was also not much. Frankly, this offer fell far short of Chen Jiuge’s expectations!

"You don’t know the significance of Vajra?" Yun Yan asked in disbelief.

"Should I know?"

Yun Yan remarked oddly, "As a Fifth Level Citizen, generally speaking, one wouldn’t be too unfamiliar with Dark Star, yet you know none of it—truly..."

"Must I know?"

"Not necessarily; fine, let me explain it to you!"

"The salaries and benefits listed there are not important to you. After all, if a Vajra relies on salary to live, wouldn’t that be ridiculous!"
