Urban Peerless Expert-Chapter 3908 - 3927: Watchdog

Lin Chen naturally cannot disclose matters of the Science Council, who knows what Zhang Zhongjiu’s reaction would be?

Lin Chen asked puzzled: "How did they all manage to do it?"

Zhang Zhongjiu sneered: "They found a buyer with strength and sold themselves off."

Lin Chen’s gaze instinctively fell on the two men beside Zhang Zhongjiu, both were wearing suits, carrying briefcases, and wearing glasses, looking every bit like urban elites.

The taller man on the left smiled and said: "My name is Lei Guangle, I represent the Lei Family, one of the three major families of Jinghai City. We admire both Mr. Qingluan and Mr. Ranhai’s abilities, so we hired the two gentlemen to work for our Lei Family, provided we help them regain their freedom."

"Mr. Lin, Miss Yao, Ms. Lan, I have heard from Mr. Qingluan about your abilities, we are very interested in all three of you, curious if you would be interested in joining our Lei Family?"

"Rest assured, as long as the three of you are willing to join the Lei Family, as long as we agree on a contract, we will certainly restore your freedom..."

Before he finished speaking, the man next to him interrupted: "Lei Family is not the best choice for the three of you, we, the He Family, are. After all, Lei Family’s stinginess and harshness are well known."

"If the three of you are willing to join our He Family, we will surely offer even better treatment..."

Zhang Zhongjiu frowned: "You’re poaching people right in front of me, aren’t you?"

Although Zhang Zhongjiu looked displeased, the two men seemed not afraid at all. Lei Guangle smiled and said: "It’s just business, right? If they are willing, we give enough compensation, we get the people, you get benefits, they get freedom, isn’t that a win-win for everyone?"

Zhang Zhongjiu sneered, turning to look at Lin Chen and the others: "They’re planning to take you in as watchdogs, if you have any ideas, you might as well agree quickly."

"Just as Lei Family and Zhang Family are here, you might even let them bid on site, and secure yourself a slightly better watchdog treatment..."

Lei Guangle corrected: "Mr. Zhang, that’s not very polite. Given their exceptional abilities, we recognize heroes, honor heroes, offering high welfare and high treatment to hire them for our work, this is surely better than being shackled as engineers here, right?"

The He Family representative also laughed: "Yes, we’re hiring them with high pay, they just need to follow the contract, they will have complete freedom, no fear of losing their life at the whims of others."

Zhang Zhongjiu sneered but said no more.

Lin Chen hearing this, roughly understood, Qingluan and others must have immediately inquired about the influential figures in Jinghai City. They must have used some method to contact the Lei Family and He Family of Jinghai City’s three major families, and then reached an agreement with them, letting them restore their freedom under the condition of working off their debts.

Although Lin Chen hasn’t specifically seen their contract, Luo Zheng has mentioned quite a bit about the three major families before, plus Zhang Zhongjiu’s disdainful tone, Lin Chen can roughly guess that the contract must be extremely harsh.

Otherwise, why would Zhang Zhongjiu use the term ’watchdogs’?

Lin Chen cautiously replied: "Thank you for valuing us, we haven’t considered that for now, actually being an engineer seems quite nice."

Lei Guangle frowned: "Mr. Lin, you better think it over seriously. You’re a top figure from the world inside the Lost Ball, losing freedom and having your life controlled by others should be hard for you to accept, right?"

Lin Chen calmly replied: "Although Mr. Zhang has restrained our strength, he has never threatened us. Though I indeed wish to regain my freedom, what I want is true freedom, not a change of captivity."

Once Lin Chen finished speaking, Qingluan and others’ faces changed.

They are well aware of how severe the contracts they signed are, although no physical shackles will hang around their necks, they will be bound by invisible restraints.

For a long time, they’re afraid they will have to toil for the Lei Family and He Family.

They have never been ones willing to be subordinate, but they currently have no better choice.

First gain freedom, use the Cultivation Method of the warrior to enhance themselves, eventually seek opportunities to gain complete freedom and higher status, that’s their current plan.

Qingluan Immortal Monarch gently advised: "Although the contract is indeed somewhat strict, at least it allows you to gain freedom and not worry about losing your life at any moment. Lin Chen, the three of you are much more capable than us. If you can join the Lei Family, you’ll surely obtain great treatment and high status..."

Dugu Feng spoke: "The He Family is always generous, if you really consider it, please prioritize the He Family."

Lin Chen was speechless, you sold yourselves and now become recommending agents.

Developing new users, can you benefit from it?

Or perhaps, persuading the three of us to affiliate with the Lei Family or He Family is part of your onboarding jobs?

Before Lin Chen could speak, Zhang Zhongjiu said coldly: "If you want to be their dogs, do it yourself, don’t sow discord here. Don’t think that just because your shackles are gone, you can boss us around!"

Qingluan and others closed their mouths, daring not to speak.

They had seen Zhang Zhongjiu effortlessly kill a Heavenly Demon Venerable, dare not provoke him.

Seeing this, Lei Guangle also dared not be too presumptuous in persuading, handed over a name card: "The three of you take some time to think about it, if you have any ideas, feel free to contact me!"

Lin Chen didn’t refuse, silently took the name card.

The He Family representative also handed his name card to Lin Chen, who likewise accepted it.

Lei Guangle laughed: "Mr. Qingluan, Mr. Ranhai, the two of you have now regained freedom, and our contract officially takes effect. You two continue to work here, completing the promise to Mr. Zhang, when you have free time, you can come to the Lei Family. Your cultivation must not be delayed."

Both Qingluan and Ranhai agreed.

The He Family representative similarly instructed Dugu Feng and Nangong Li, lastly addressing Zhang Zhongjiu: "Mr. Zhang, although they’re currently working for you, they are already ours—the He Family and Lei Family, please take good care of them."

Zhang Zhongjiu coldly snorted: "Rest assured, I will naturally do what I promised."

With Lei Guangle’s two men leaving, Zhang Zhongjiu glanced over the people, dismissively waved for Qingluan and others to depart.

Zhang Zhongjiu stared at Lin Chen: "Are you unwilling to agree or just afraid to agree in front of me?"

Seeing Zhang Zhongjiu willing to let Qingluan and others go, Lin Chen’s vigilance also eased some, at least he can still communicate in interests.

Lin Chen sincerely answered: "I was speaking truthfully earlier, I do want my freedom back, but I don’t want to be anyone’s watchdog, I want genuine freedom..."
