Super Seminary: New Temple

Chapter 172 You Can’t Give It

Under the sunglasses, Ajie's face looked more serious than when he talked with Ge Xiaolun before.

Ge Xiaolun is easy to deal with. Ajie only needs to use roses as bait and make a few promises to him to trick him into joining the Heroes Company. But Ajie doesn't know what the boss, Daven, who always has a mysterious smile, really thinks about the Heroes Company.

“Should I cater to his needs and satisfy his wants, or should I persuade him with reason?”

Ajie was very distressed. Daven's genes were obviously very strong, otherwise he would not have beaten the already fierce Liu Chuang to the point of begging for mercy. If such a super soldier whose strength should not be underestimated was included in the Hero Company, it would definitely add a very valuable and powerful combat force.

But Ajie didn't know how to persuade Davin to join the Heroes Company.

After thinking for a moment, Ajie maintained his original serious attitude and said in a steady tone, "From the information, you look like an energetic young man, but judging from the fact that you have been running an Internet cafe in Juxia City for ten years, your actual age is definitely not as young as your appearance shows."

"So the best you can guess is that I'm middle-aged?" Daven said with a smile. If we follow the common sense on Blue Star that people in their teens and 10s are middle-aged, then he is probably seriously over-age, and simply calling him an antique is already giving him too little.

The corner of her eyes fell on Daven vaguely, and Du Qiangwei sneered: "Some people, on the surface, look like young men in their early twenties. But secretly, they are old guys who like to roast lamb in the suburbs."

Daven's lips curled up and he smiled: "At least my grilling skills are pretty good, right?"

Du Qiangwei snorted and said nothing.

"Qiangwei, are you hinting at something?" Ajie didn't understand what she meant, but secretly guessed that Du Qiangwei's words seemed to imply that Devin was older than he expected.

"It's nothing. Just treat it as something I'm talking about. But aren't you good at speaking? Why don't you quickly convince him to join the Xiongbing Company?" Du Qiangwei encouraged.

Qiangwei did not explain to Ajie that Daven was an alien who had lived on the Blue Star a thousand years ago. She was a bit vindictive and still remembered that Ajie had just used her name to deceive Ge Xiaolun. In addition, Ajie's lack of trust in Qiangwei's work ability had already made Qiangwei dissatisfied, which really made Du Qiangwei quite unhappy.

Ajie always boasted that he was good at speaking and was very confident, but when facing the old monster Daven, Qiangwei felt that Ajie would have to kneel down this time. Because Daven was an alien, there was no reason for him to join the Heroes Company, not to mention that Daven had much more experience than Ajie, so he would not be easily fooled by Daven.

When Du Qiangwei looked at Ajie, there was a hint of gloating and watching a good show in her eyes.

Ajie frowned slightly, thinking that Devon's situation might be more complicated than he thought, but now he could only take one step at a time and try his best to make Devon a soldier of the Hero Company.

"No, we can't go on like this. We have to take the initiative and make this Daven feel some pressure. He is an ordinary citizen of Juxia City, just wanting to run an Internet cafe in a law-abiding manner, but once he finds out that his every move is under our control, he will definitely be very scared."

Ajie was very calm. He spoke in a dignified voice at a moderate pace, "Mr. Daven, I'm afraid you don't know. We have been monitoring you."

"Huh? You guys would spy on a commoner like me?"

Dai Wen was surprised and said in a playful tone, "From what I know, you probably don't have the time to monitor an idle person like me, right? Because you haven't noticed my existence, and it's impossible for you to be interested in someone like me who you can't even find in a crowd."

"Uh." Ajie was very embarrassed and choked immediately.

He had never expected that Devin would be so rational, and it seemed that he could not scare Devin at all. The series of words that Ajie had prepared in advance were no longer suitable for the current situation because Devin had exposed him.

Seeing that Ajie was very embarrassed, Du Qiangwei felt happy, her brows relaxed, and she laughed.

Ajie, who had previously vowed that he could be trusted to take care of the matter, was now ruthlessly undermined by Devin and was put in a dilemma. This was exactly what Qiangwei wanted to see.

Ajie felt like he was getting retribution when his companions didn't help him but laughed at him instead.

Ajie turned to Du Qiangwei and coughed lightly a few times, hoping that Du Qiangwei, who was friends with Devin, would join him in persuading Devin.

Du Qiangwei didn't give Ajie any face at all. She turned her head away and continued to play with the lilies in the vase, refusing to cooperate at all.

At this time, even Devin was holding back his laughter, as if he was laughing at Ajie's terrible character. Even Rose, who came with him, was at odds with him.

Ajie was even more embarrassed. He leaned over and whispered, "Ahem, well, Qiangwei, which side are you helping? Help me instead."

"Aren't you the best at being a lobbyist? I'll leave it all to you. Where did your energy in fooling Ge Xiaolun just now go? Now you want my help instead?" Du Qiangwei was in a bad mood, and when she heard Ajie's request for help, she felt quite proud.

"This... this is completely different, right? Ge Xiaolun is easier to fool..."

Ajie was a little impatient. He glanced at Daven and continued in a low voice, "But I didn't expect Daven to be so difficult to deal with! You seem to have some friendship with him. Why don't you use this relationship to talk about the benefits of joining the Hero Company? Maybe he will agree?"

"Okay, okay, I'm no longer angry. This mission is very important, so I'll cooperate with you for now."

"But I have to make it clear in advance that I'm not good at lobbying. I can only try my best, but I can't guarantee that he will agree."

In order to consider the overall situation, Du Qiangwei finally put aside her prejudice and decided to help Ajie.

Du Qiangwei looked at Dai Wen, who had a smile on his face. "Tell me. What do you want me to do in order to join the Heroic Army for training? To protect Blue Star?"

Du Qiangwei knew that Daven was an alien, and a powerful monster. Judging from the current situation, Daven had always remained neutral and had no obvious hostility towards Blue Star, which meant that he could be won over. If such a force could be obtained, Blue Star might have a better chance of resisting the Taotie attack.

"Oh. You're quite straightforward. Very frank, good. Then just say it clearly, and I can tell you clearly—"

Daven chuckled. As his tone became slower and slower and his eyes suddenly became sharper, the temperature in the cafe suddenly dropped a few degrees.

His sharp eyes looked straight at Du Qiangwei and Ajie. Just when the two of them felt an inexplicable pressure, Daven slowly spoke, his heavy and serious voice lingering in their ears: "You can't give me what I want, and you don't dare to give it to me now."

As he said this, the cafe seemed to have a solemn atmosphere.

In an instant, Du Qiangwei noticed that the atmosphere had become extremely solemn.

Ajie's pupils dilated, and he couldn't believe that Devin was speaking so arrogantly.
