Chapter 556: Robbery (Part One)
At this time, a black man said out of the blue, âI joined because of the Deviant Corp logo. I think it looks really cool. Who designed it?â
Luo Yi looked over to Xu Cheng, looking a bit odd.
Xu Cheng laughed. âSee? Thereâs finally someone with good taste.â
The logo of Deviant was a hand grabbing over the globe.
The African man asked Xu Cheng, âIs there a meaning behind it?â
âYes.â Xu Cheng laughed and said, âIt means being the arbiter, to judge, examine, supervise, protect, and override.â
The man whistled. âLooks like I made the right call joining. I really like the meaning and the icon. But, Luo Yi said only the real core members could have this tattooed on their body. I want to ask, how can one become a core member?â
Xu Cheng: âYou just need to get my approval. Todayâs the first time for me to meet you all, so we still arenât familiar with each other yet. But, I have pretty high requirements for people. So, in the following days to come, I will be looking to see who suits our team, and who doesnât.â
This sounded a bit provocative, and besides Luo Yi, the others all lifted their brows, feeling uncomfortable.
Xu Cheng didnât care. The people here were all outlaws that have killed people and mostly communicate with their fists. It was normal for them to feel that way when being looked down by a stranger when they wanted to be treated as equals. Besides, Xu Cheng hadnât displayed what he was capable of yet, so it was normal for these people to be dissatisfied after hearing this.
After the group rested for a bit, they got back onto the road.
As they got into their own pickup trucks, Chris instigated the African man and said, âThat guy even said that to you, he clearly means that you arenât qualified to get that tattooed on you. He obviously looks down on us, and you are okay with that?â
The African guy shrugged his shoulders. âDo you have anywhere better to go? We will just let him ride his ego a bit more. The moment he realizes that this place is tougher than he thought and that he needs us, he wonât be so arrogant anymore. But, I am indeed not comfortable hearing those words from him. What he meant was, we were never this groupâs core members? Lol.â
It wasnât just him that thought this way.
The other people were having these thoughts too. It was their first meeting with the founder of this clan, and they thought they would at least be praised a few words since they were the only few that were willing to join. But, it turned out, the founder didnât care.
In fact, these people were more hoping that this Deviant Clan could accept them as a core member, rather than have a simple employment relationship.
However, after what Xu Cheng said, it felt as if they were the reacher in this relationship and Deviant was a top tier organization that was hard to join or something. Who would feel comfortable after hearing that?
On the truck, Luo Yi obviously knew what the other people were thinking. He bitterly smiled at Xu Cheng and said, âBig Brother Cheng, right now we should only treat them politely.â
âNot necessary. We want brothers that can really go to hell and back with us, not someone that only cares about the formalities. Very soon, we need to stir some sh-t up and conquer more land to make space for Mr. Hawking, so we donât have time to play these little mind games with those people. If they arenât willing to stay, then they can leave,â Xu Cheng said indifferently.
Luo Yi bitterly smiled. âBut you still need them though⊠If we donât have men, how can we fight a war for territory? It would be hard no matter how strong we are if we are significantly outnumberedâŠâ
Xu Cheng didnât say anything
