Inwardly, Qin Wushuang approved when he saw Lone had confronted him. This was their strategy. Being overly obedient would only make them appear even more suspicious.
The three of them each had a different personality. Lone appeared as a troublemaker who showed off his arrogance everywhere. On the contrary, it would make people feel that they were full of confidence and with a clear conscience.
That man in black smiled bitterly after getting taken back by Lone’s words:
Ok, it’s my fault for talking too much. What’s the use in acting all big before me? Would you dare to act like this before General Manager Su?

Lone’s mouth twisted:
General Manager Su is only in charge of investigation. Of course I would follow the rules, why would I act all big?

The man in black was speechless and he could only lead these three back to that yard with his hands on his back. He walked next to General Manager Su and reported:
General Manager Su, these three claim to have come from the Gobi area of the Water Sky prefecture.


Water sky prefecture? That far?
General Manager Su was somewhat surprised as he asked again,
How’s their strength?


They all passed. One Perfect Stage, two Advanced Stage!
The man in black answered honestly.
General Manager Su sized them from afar for a moment and did not see any flaws. He slowly nodded:
Alright, let them come here and I will ask them some questions.

The man in black nodded and turned around to call Qin Wushuang:
You three, come quickly. General Manage Su has some question for you guys!

Qin Wushuang knew that the most critical moment had arrived. As long as they passed General Manager Su’s test, it would not be any problem for them to join this team.
They followed General Manager Su into a secret chamber. That General Manager Su put his hands behind his back and took a glance at Qin Wushuang with a pair of cold eyes:
Are you guys from the Gobi Water Sky Prefecture?


You’ve also heard about our Giant Gobi?
Qin Wushuang asked in a neither servile nor overbearing tone.

Of course I have heard about it since it is part of the Xuan Yuan Mound. Which powerhouse did you guys belong to at the Giant Gobi?


Ha ha, we are not some disciples from some major powerhouse or clan. Although the name of the Three Wu brothers is not famous, in a few years, our name will spread across the Xuan Yuan Mound!
This was Bao Bao’s voice.

So, no one can verify the three of your identities and background?


Why would we need someone else to verify our identities?
Qin Wushuang was rather surprised and asked with an innocent face.

If you cannot verify your identity, despite meeting the requirement, we cannot recruit you.


That’s difficult. Us three brothers do not have any friends at the Black Raven Royal City. We cannot find anyone to verify us! However, if you like, you can head to the Giant Gobi to investigate. The three of us did not just pop out from the sky.

General Manager Su laughed lightly:
Too bad, the trip to the Giant Gobi is far away. It would take one at least two or three years to come back. I don’t have the time.


Then you mean that us three brothers have no chance to join?

General Manager Su nodded definitely:
Unless you guys can verify your identity.


Ha ha, it’s no use for us to verify ourselves. We don’t have any acquaintances at the Orderly Mountain prefecture. This is difficult.


Humph, Boss, Third, if they don’t want us, couldn’t we just go seek the Hundred Leaf Qin Clan? It’s a paying job anyways, with our strength, would they be unable to pay us if we help them? The three of us only value money, and we don’t care who we work for!

Lone started to speak out loudly. Hearing his words, the expression of that General Manager Su also changed slightly. Apparently, he did not expect Lone’s words.
That’s right, although the million crystal reward appeared attractive, everyone knew that the Hundred Leaf Qin possessed the crystal stone mine. At the Orderly Mountain Prefecture, they were the wealthiest clan.
If the Hundred Leaf Qin Clan was willing to pay, why would anyone be unwilling to work for them?
When he thought about this, this General Manager Su could not help but hesitate.
Seeing his hesitation, Lone cried out:
Boss, let’s go! Since this place doesn’t accept me, there will be another place that will!

Qin Wushuang nodded:
In that case, we can only leave. Third, let’s go.

General Manager Su extended his hand:
Hold on.

Qin Wushuang did not turn around:
General Manager Su, a man being used cannot be suspected while a suspected man cannot be used. Since you are suspicious of the three of us, we will not register.


Boss is right, in my whole life, I hate it when others doubt me!
Lone still appeared furious and annoyed.
In the past few days, General Manager Su had also been auditing the registered candidates. In fact, he was quite annoyed by the audit.
Honestly, regardless of how detailed his audit had been, he always felt that each person had more or less some uncertainty that could not be ignored.
However, these suspicious points were uncertain. It appeared vague and he could not make a conclusion. If he were to only recruit people without a single trace of suspicion, then he could only use someone next to him.
Yet, it was clear that it would be far away from making the twenty people. Because of his mistrustful personality, he was the slowest among the four General Managers during the recruitment process.
The other three General Managers had almost finished recruiting in the other territories’ royal cities. And on his side, he had not yet finished.
Since the deadline was approaching one day after another, General Manager Su also felt anxious. He also considered the possibility Lone had talked about a moment ago.
He remembered the people he had eliminated the other days and he could not help but grow apprehensive. If all those people he had rejected went to seek shelter at the Hundred Leaf Qin Clan, then it would become a definite disaster for their mission!

Slow down a bit, I will ask you guys some questions separately, you will pass as long as you give satisfactory answers. If I’m not satisfied, you can leave after, what do you think?

Lone mumbled:
So much questioning, what are you thinking to do, in the end?

The face of General Manager Su went a little cold:
You three came here to sign up and want to come and go as you wish, are you trying to take advantage of the fact that we have no rules here?

Qin Wushuang stopped:
General Manager Su, could it be that you want to use your strength to bully the weak?

General Manager Su smiled lightly:
I only want to pick the best candidates, I hold no personal grudge with you three!

Qin Wushuang nodded:
Great, then I will answer your questions first.

That General Manager Su nodded:
Then let your two brothers go outside.

Bao Bao and Lone walked out somewhat unwillingly with an angry expression. Seeing their action, that General Manager Su also felt that these three were not fake. However, he had always been careful and would not change his mind. Instead, he asked:
You three said that you are from the Giant Gobi, then may I ask where exactly did you guys live at the Giant Gobi?


Ha ha, I’m not afraid to tell you that the three of us have always been orphan ever since we were young. We grew up at a little abandoned village. If we hadn’t met an injured martial artist around eight or nine years old, most likely the three of us would be scratching for food at that abandoned village.


This way, you guys met some fortuitous opportunities?


You could say that!


May I ask, what significant things you guys have done since you’ve begun to practice martial artist? Have you fought with any tough opponents? How much combat experience do you guys have?


Ha, General Manager Su, regarding dueling with elite warriors, perhaps the three of us do not have enough experience as you. However, regarding actual combat experiences, if you have lived at the Giant Gobi, you should know the condition for survival! The three of us have fought battles of life and death. We have substantial combat experience.


I am not very interested in your actual combat experience at the Giant Gobi. Just talk about which elite warriors you have fought with since you came here from the Gobi

General Manager Su cared more about this aspect.
Qin Wushuang did not even frown as he said:
The three of us have encountered mountain bandits in a several places from the Giant Gobi. However, they didn’t think that the three of us did this as a living, how could we let them do what they want?

General Manager Su nodded:
What are the places where you encountered bandits?

After a moment of silence, Qin Wushuang said:
Along the trip, we have encountered such thing for three of four times. We got ambushed at some places called Tiger Leaping Gorge, and Disquieting Hawk Mountain stream. However, since we have substantial experience regarding this aspect, we were well prepared.

When he spoke to this point, suddenly, Qin Wushuang stopped and said with a somewhat annoyed tone:
General Manager Su, aren’t you asking too many questions? If you believe us, don’t try to make a fool of us with these questions.

General Manager Su did not get mad as he waved his hand:
Alright, bring in the next person.

Next, it was naturally Lone’s turn. And Qin Wushuang was taken to another place to prevent them from fabricating up a story together.
Only, they had already made a lot of preparations regarding many of the questions. It would be impossible for them to leave much flaws for General Manager Su to find.
That General Manager Su also asked the Purple Flame Electric Beast and found nothing, not a single inconsistency.
When it was Bao Bao’s turn, he was rather quick and started to complain after answered two question.
Ever since General Manager Su had questioned a lot of people, there were countless times when people had grown impatient from his questions.
In the end, he decided to let these three brothers participate. General Manager Su also had his own little schemes. Since these three brothers had come from the Giant Gobi, they must have gone through countless major battles and life and death situations. When facing the enemies, for sure they would unleash their full battle potential.

Since you three have passed the examination, you will stay at this Freelance Martial Artist Union. It’s convenient for us to assemble. This mission will begin at any time, you guys must stay on call all the time!

Qin Wushuang said:
It’s fine to stay here, but the three of us cannot afford to wait too long. On the chance you guys do not make a move, we don’t have the money to keep staying here. General Manager Su, when we signed up for this mission, don’t we receive any prepayment?

However, General Manager Su was rather strict over this problem. He shook his head with determination:
Sorry, the rules of this mission is that we will pay you after the work. You will only get paid depending on your contribution.

The Purple Flame Electric Beast said angrily:
So stingy, you would let us work for you without money?


Work first, money after. If you get the money and neglect your duty, this mission is finished.
General Manager Su had his own principles,
Of course, we will cover the expenses for you to stay at the union residence here.

Qin Wushuang laughed happily:
In the end, you are not too stingy.
