Chapter 26

“What? You want me, a martial artist, to work for you for only 50,000 yuan? Why can’t I earn that much money? Ridiculous, don’t bother me.”

“Senior, I only have this much money on hand now. When the job is done, I’ll give you a big reward. Let’s discuss it again.”

“Get lost, don’t bother me.”

A delicate-looking second-year student with a high-level warrior’s aura was humbly begging another third-year student.

However, the third-year senior had an impatient look on his face and pushed the begging student away.

Seeing this, Clive could not help but feel moved. He walked up and asked, “Senior, what did that person want from you just now?”

The third-year student who was stopped quickly glanced at Clive and said, “Are you talking about Barton? He wants to look for me to support his family. If it was in Zhengyang City, then forget it. His family is still in Sky Spirit City. There’s still quite a way to go from here.”

Not only was it troublesome to delay his cultivation along the way, but he spent fifty thousand yuan. “What can a martial master like me not do? What’s the difference of fifty thousand yuan?” After saying this, the senior left.

Upon hearing this, Clive could not help but become excited. He took the initiative to walk in front of Barton and said, “I can help you!”

Barton, who was looking left and right for help, could not help but brighten up when he heard this. However, when he saw Clive’s new student emblem, he could not help but fall silent.

“Thank you, but I’m afraid that you’ll need a Martial Master to help you.”

It was evident that in his eyes, the strength of the new students was not enough.

This time, the crisis that his dojo had encountered, he needed to find at least one Martial Master to solve it.

However, Barton had been searching the entire campus for a long time. Not to mention a high-rank Martial Master, he could not even find a middle-rank Martial Master.

He also wanted to pay more money, but his money was indeed a little tight.

“As the saying goes, more people, more connections. So no matter what problem you have, it’s always good to have one more person to solve it,” Clive urged.

Hearing this, Barton showed a hesitant look.

“Okay, I’ll invite you over, but I can only give you 50,000 yuan. And I can only give it to you after it’s done.”

“Okay, hurry up and release the mission on the school’s part-time job list.”

“Okay.”

After Clive finished accepting the mission with his phone, he could not help but smile.

This was the first time he had walked out of Zhengyang City. He did not know if the city outside was the same as here.

The two of them agreed to meet at the west gate tomorrow and then split up.

Early the following day, Clive, who had brought his luggage, arrived at the west gate.

Soon, Barton came over, but he did not come alone.

Behind him was a burly man who was about 1.9 meters tall.

“This is Simon, our companion.” Barton pointed at the burly man and introduced him to Clive.

Simon said in a muffled voice, “We agreed on the money.”

“Well, I’ll give you a 100,000 yuan down payment first. Then, after we finish the job, I’ll give you another 500,000 yuan.” Barton said as he carefully looked at Clive’s expression.

When he realized that Clive’s expression did not change, he let out a sigh of relief. After all, their treatment was so different.

He was already prepared for Clive to turn around and leave because he was angry.

But Clive was only a freshman. At the very most, he was just a fighter. And Simon, whom he had hired, was a real Martial Master. Their statuses could not be imagined at all.

Upon hearing Barton’s affirmative answer, Simon revealed a satisfied smile. “Alright, let’s go.”

The traffic after the Great Cataclysm was not as good as before.

Before this, all cities could travel by plane, and the high-speed rail was connected to all the cities.

But now, due to the evolution of creatures in the natural world, although some birds did not turn into fierce beasts, their physiques had improved a lot.

This had also led to a vast increase in the production and maintenance costs of aircraft. Therefore, third-and fourth-tier cities like Zhengyang City and Tianling City did not have their airports.

As for the high-speed railway line, it had been destroyed during the war. The repair work had only reached the third-ring city circle.

Therefore, the only way to get to the nearby Tianling City was by road.

However, no one could tell what kind of messy things they would encounter on the outer roads. As a result, although there were no ferocious beasts in the city circle, dozens of people still died on the streets every year.

However, Barton’s motorcade could be considered luxurious. Two Martial Masters and one Fighter. Along the way, the three of them did not even see anyone who wanted to do anything.

The three of them lived in the car for a full week before they finally saw the entrance of Sky Spirit City.

After getting off the car, Simon smoothed his hair and said, “If I had known earlier, I wouldn’t have accepted your job. It’s just too tiring.”

However, when Barton saw his familiar city, he could not help but smile.

“Don’t worry, two students. Three more blocks and we will reach my dojo. When that time comes, I will give you a proper welcome.”

“Alright, alright. Hurry up and lead the way. I’m getting tired.”

“Hehe.” Barton laughed awkwardly and led the two of them toward the center of the city.

No matter which city the dojo was in, it was a business where one could make a fortune.

The moment the three of them arrived at the entrance of the dojo, the security guard at the entrance recognized Barton.

He immediately came forward excitedly and bowed to them. At the same time, he excitedly said into the walkie-talkie, “Hurry up and tell the dojo master that the second young master is back.”

Following that, a few female waitresses from the dojo also quickly walked out and brought the three of them to the highest floor.

The three of them came to the entrance of a huge office on the top floor. A male secretary stood outside and said, “The headmaster is inside.”

This was an office with half of the walls and floor-to-ceiling windows. It was about 150 square meters in size, there was a desk at the end of it. It seemed very empty.

A spirited middle-aged man was looking at the road through the floor. He turned his back to the three people and said, “You’re back?”

“Father, these two are the helpers I brought back. They might be able to help the dojo out of its urgent situation.”

The man looked Clive and Simon up and down and nodded.

Then he said to the secretary outside the door, “Tell them to bring the two guests to the VIP room on the top floor. Tell them to treat them well.”

Seeing this, Barton wanted to open his mouth to say something, but he heard the secretary dash in with an excited expression.

“Director, the eldest young master is back.”

Hearing this, the director’s eyes lit up and he immediately strode out.

At the same time, he said to Barton, who was inside, “Come downstairs with me to greet your eldest brother.”

“Okay.” Barton hurriedly followed.

When they arrived downstairs, they saw a young man with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes. He was about 1.8 meters tall.

He smiled and joked with the front desk, causing the girls to make a ringing sound..
