The Master of Beasts

Chapter 988 - 349

The office was silent, with just a few spots of blood left by Chen An, looking somewhat glaring.

"Hong Lei, from now on, you’ll be the captain of my personal guard!"

Chen Jiuge was quite satisfied with Hong Lei. Although the Calamity Body sounded terrifying, it didn’t bring misfortune all the time. Otherwise, let alone a Fifth Level Qi Gong Master, even a Seventh Level Great Cultivator wouldn’t have survived so long.

"Well, actually I would rather have fun with the little cuties below!" Hong Lei said a bit embarrassedly.

"Below? Basement level two?"

"Yes!"

After thinking for a moment, Chen Jiuge nodded slightly, "Alright then, I’ll leave basement level two to you. You need to handle the Beast Team previously led by Chen An for me. The rest isn’t really an issue, just don’t casually harm those Fierce Beasts!"

"Thank you, my Lord!"

"Hmm, then Leng She, the captain of the personal guard is up to you!"

Leng She, standing in the back like a sculpture, seemed a bit stunned, "Huh, me?"

"Who else but you? You want to make those three little guys the captain? Are you afraid they’ll live too long?"

"Don’t worry too much, Han Kui will assist you. If not for his too aggressive personality, he would actually be quite suitable as captain!"

"Alright, I’ll do my best."

Leng She was both excited and anxious.

"Next, we should consider the issues of the other nine Gladiatorial Arenas!"

"Lord, there’s a Shadow Mage who wants to pledge allegiance to you, with Fourth Level Cultivation!" Andrew suddenly recalled Hei Yue, who had reminded him earlier when he arrived at the arena.

"A Fourth Level Shadow Mage?" Chen Jiuge was taken aback. This was an even rarer profession than a Mind Master, yet they wanted to pledge allegiance to someone like him, a Vajra with shaky foundations?

If Andrew weren’t usually honest and capable, Chen Jiuge would have thought he was joking.

"Though it’s a bit unbelievable, that’s precisely the case!"

"Interesting, then take me to see!"

"Oh right, for the other Gladiatorial Arenas, start by tackling the Beast Team. The Beast Team of the No.1 Arena is the main team in name only. Hong Lei, I’m entrusting this to you. It’s just a group of Fourth Level leaders; you can handle this, right?"

"Rest assured, absolutely no problem!" Hong Lei said confidently.

"Good!"

.........

Upon first seeing Hei Yue, Chen Jiuge was momentarily surprised by her beauty. However, having seen plenty of beautiful women before, he kept his composure.

"A Fourth Level Shadow Mage, why pledge allegiance to someone small like me?" Chen Jiuge directly asked the question in his heart.

Hei Yue was a bit surprised by Chen Jiuge’s reaction. She was confident in her beauty. Typically, whenever she revealed her true face during missions, her targets, as long as they were men, would be utterly enchanted, and even women would lower their guard around her.

Even if Hei Yue was willing to pay the price, using her beauty to win freedom was not a difficult feat. Yet this fellow, rumored to be Dark Star’s most useless Vajra, was only momentarily fazed before regaining clarity. Such a person was terrifying!

"If I pledged allegiance to another Vajra or Star Lord, I wouldn’t gain much. Your foundations are the weakest, allowing me to rise to a high position quickly and gain more!"

"I see!"

Chen Jiuge nodded slightly. There was nothing wrong with this logic, but he felt something was off.

"Sorry, I need some time to consider your matter!"

"No problem, I can only stay here for three more days. I hope I can get an answer in three days!"

"You will!"

Outside the room, Andrew, who had been unable to contain himself, said anxiously, "Lord, why didn’t you agree? This is a Shadow Mage, and Miss Hei Yue’s beauty can definitely bring more benefits to our arena!"

"I understand, but Andrew, making money assumes you’re still alive to spend it!"

"Alright, get busy. The issues with the arena cannot be delayed. If you want to become the Grand Steward, you need to achieve enough merits!"

When it came to his life’s major affairs, Andrew promptly cast Hei Yue aside, and solemnly said, "Lord, just wait for my good news!"

Feeling momentarily idle, Chen Jiuge arrived at the arena.

"Greetings, Beast Master!"

"And you are?"

Chen Jiuge was a bit puzzled, looking at the man greeting him.

Although he’d been a Vajra for some time, outside of the No.1 Arena, he truly didn’t know many people.

This guy greeting him didn’t have a weak aura, at least stronger than himself, presumably a Fourth Level cultivator. Even as part of Dark Hand, one had a decent position with this cultivation.

"Sickle, under the Warehouse Master!" Sickle grinned broadly.

"Oh, under the Warehouse Master!"

Chen Jiuge’s eyes slightly narrowed, thinking of something unknown.

"I’m here for some fun, didn’t expect to meet the Beast Master!" Sickle also showed a naive look.

"Having fun is good!"

Chen Jiuge patted Sickle on the shoulder and walked away with a smile.

Watching Chen Jiuge walk away, Sickle put away his smile, speaking curiously, "He’s Second Level Cultivation. Even with a Fourth Level Turtle Dragon guarding him, he shouldn’t be able to withstand the Assassination Association’s killers, right?"

"Could it be the other creature on his shoulder is also a Fourth Level Fierce Beast?"

"Impossible!"

Controlling a Fourth Level Fierce Beast with Chen Jiuge’s Second Level Cultivation was simply unattainable. If using a Beast Taming Ring, that would cost a fortune of over a million Life Money. Sickle’s simple mind just couldn’t fathom it.

As for whether Chen Jiuge had that much money, Sickle didn’t think so. The Warehouse Master said Chen Jiuge was a Fifth Level Citizen, and with such an identity and that much money, he could live a very comfortable life.
