Chapter 448 - 355: Incite Defection? (2)
He was recruited by his superiors.
He entered another, higher-level organization.
Besides leading people who were just like his former self, he would also begin practicing a Secret Technique!
To him, this was a stroke of incredible luck!
It meant his superiors saw his potential!
’As expected, following Foreigners is the way to go!’
He could earn so much money so easily and even be a leader!
And so, on this path, he never looked back, not even for a moment entertaining the slightest thought of wavering.
In fact, he became even more determined to continue.
One more promotion, and he could change his nationality and join the country he so desired!
Surrounded by benefits from all sides, he had long since lost his basic human nature.
This was the perfect opportunity for a promotion, and so he had come!
If he succeeded this time, he could get away from it all and live the life of an Immortal he had always dreamed of!
But all of that came crashing down the moment he saw this little monk!
’No, it can’t be like this!’
’The Foreign countries are so great, I can turn this little monk and have him come with me!’
And so...
"You’re right, I was once one of the Huaguo people, but soon I’ll be a citizen of the Free Country! Jealous?"
Kong Jian’s expression remained unchanged, his gaze coolly fixed on the man before him.
He had originally planned to deal with him directly, but upon learning the man was from the Flower Country...
’Master would probably prefer I bring him back alive, right?’ Kong Jian thought.
In that case, it seemed he couldn’t kill this man for now.
In the man’s eyes, Kong Jian’s silence was a sign of contemplation. He immediately activated the mechanism for a hidden dart!
WHAM!
Just when he thought he had succeeded, his entire body was sent flying into a large tree.
His whole body trembled uncontrollably.
It was as if he’d been electrocuted.
White smoke even drifted from his mouth, but his years of training had paid off somewhat.
After scrambling up from the ground, he immediately surrendered.
"Little monk, I can give you a better life! I swear I just accidentally hit the switch just now, I didn’t mean it! If you agree, I can make you a cut above the rest!"
’A cut above the rest? What kind of person is that?’
Kong Jian pondered for a moment but couldn’t figure it out.
"Don’t judge me by my current state, I have over 800,000 in savings! This is all money I earned serving the Free Country. A little monk like you has probably never even seen 10,000, right? Stick with me, and I guarantee you’ll live in a villa and eat gourmet meals! You can have anything you want! Our Free Country never mistreats its own people!"
"Little monk, do you really want to live in a temple your whole life? Eating vegetarian and living so ascetically."
Kong Jian shook his head.
He didn’t want to live in a temple. He wanted to be with his Master.
However, to the man, his headshake seemed to be a sign that he was about to be swayed!
’Of course! There’s no one in this world who doesn’t love personal gain!’
"Follow me, and how about I pay you a salary of 10,000 a month? Spend it however you want! Buy whatever you want! How about it? Let me tell you, the work we do is simple, but we get tons of money for it—money you probably couldn’t earn in a year! You can feast on meat, drink all the wine you want, renounce your vows, and have beautiful women! This is the life of an Immortal! Do you really want to be a monk forever?"
In the man’s view, people only became monks to beg for food when they had no other way to survive.
Who wouldn’t want to enjoy life?
And choose to be a monk instead?
’What a moron.’
"I don’t know what that woman promised you, but you can always trust me and the Free Country behind me! We can give you more than she ever could! And the best part is, if you perform well, we can join the Free Country! Become high-class citizens of the Free Country! How about it? Isn’t that exciting? Doesn’t it get your blood pumping? Let me tell you, the benefits just keep getting better!"
Kong Jian sighed internally. ’How could someone like this have been born in the Flower Country?’
’And he dares compare himself to Master?’
’He’s simply courting death!’
If he didn’t think Master might have a use for this man, he wouldn’t even want to pollute his own ears any longer.
They say monks guide people to salvation, but he had no intention of saving this one.
"You. Shut up." Kong Jian’s voice carried a hint of authority, but because he looked so cute...
...the intimidating factor of his words was somewhat diminished. Besides, the man was still lost in his own wonderful delusions and didn’t pay any mind to what the little monk was saying.
Not until two slaps struck his face, aggravating his previous injuries, did he finally react and shut his mouth.
