Chapter 866: Chapter 356: Alliance Leader Su! (Part 2)
“Today, everyone is invited here for this grand meeting, not for anything else, but to deliberate on our business of running an escort agency.
“All of us operate escort agencies, traveling throughout the Jianghu, earning a living by risking our lives.
“We wander the Jianghu, risking death, all for the sake of finding a place to settle down.
“Ziyang Escort Agency rose from humble beginnings and can now barely claim a place of its own.
“It is said that when poor, one should look after oneself; when successful, one should help the world.
“I, Su Mo, am not talented, but today, I invite the leaders of all the escort agencies in Donghuang to join forces and form an alliance!!”
With these words, half of the escort leaders present turned pale.
In their view, the alliance was nothing but Su Mo’s elaborate rhetoric.
In reality, he, now the foremost in Donghuang, wanted to use that reputation to intimidate the world and absorb all escort agencies for his use!
What if someone refuses… what then?
Many immediately began searching for a way out.
Some were furious and wanted to unite with others to have a life-and-death battle with Su Mo.
However, it was too early to talk about that now. It was better to listen to what Su Mo had to say next before deciding whether to flee or fight.
Su Mo, highly skilled in martial arts, stood on stage, speaking fluently.
He first explained that he did not intend to engulf the escort agencies but to cooperate together.
With the name of the Ziyang Escort Agency, he would deter mountain bandits and thieves. As long as they joined the alliance, they could add ‘Ziyang Escort Agency’ behind their escort flags and agency plaques.
Thus gaining protection from the foremost person in Donghuang.
These words caused an uproar among the audience.
Some understood what Su Mo’s so-called alliance was all about.
Others did not understand but followed the reaction of others.
Those who understood knew that, simply put, Su Mo meant making Ziyang Escort Agency the core with many agencies in joint association. The agencies would not belong to Su Mo but using the names of Ziyang Escort Agency and Su Mo would naturally require sharing some benefits.
That was not a big deal; as long as they could escort more safely, a little benefit was insignificant.
Getting the protection of the foremost in Donghuang was something many dreamed of.
Of course, some large escort agencies might not be interested in this, especially those with established routes. They felt it was not very useful for them.
But for smaller agencies, every escort trip was a gamble between life and death.
Suddenly receiving protection from the foremost expert in Donghuang was like affixing a death-exemption token on themselves.
Many were moved to action, and hearts were put at ease. Su Mo may want to make a great profit but did not genuinely wish to harm them. Instead, he offered them a new and possibly more abundant feast.
But still, people harbored some concerns about these words.
As everyone exchanged glances, someone stood up and said:
“Chief Su, your words sound great, promising us a fantastic future.
“If we could use your esteemed name, our agency’s business might improve greatly compared to before.
“But…you are only one person, and Donghuang has only one foremost.
“You are far in the Southwest, while we are gathered here, mostly coming from Dongcheng.
“If it were the local agencies in the Southwest, there would be nothing to say, just like the Yangwei Escort Agency in Luoxia City. If it joined this alliance, no one would dare to provoke.
“But if something really happens to us, Ziyang Escort Agency or even you, can’t possibly handle it all, can you?”
“That’s right, you are only one person. How can you protect escort agencies all over the world?”
Su Mo laughed heartily and took out the imprint he had made last night.
Of course, it was no longer the original piece from last night.
Early this morning, Su Mo went to bother Li Zhengyuan. The elder had just woken up and was exercising in the yard when Su Mo pulled him into the study.
He asked him to inscribe the imprint.
Li Zhengyuan did not hesitate and immediately sprayed ink and inscribed the four characters of Ziyang Escort Agency.
Then Su Mo instructed someone to make a large one according to this style.
As people revealed it, it was immediately displayed in front of everyone.
All of them were familiar with escorting in Donghuang. Though not all tokens were recognizable, with characters like ‘Ziyang’ immediately revealing most of it.
Someone immediately gasped.
Present was Jiao Wenhao, the Young Leader of Yangwei Escort Agency, among them.
He instantly recognized the Phoenix Order and the Great Hall Order.
His face was astonished.
The Phoenix Order was easier to speak of, but the Great Hall Order was something he had only heard of, never seen before.
He never expected Wusheng Hall would give this Great Hall Order to Su Mo.
Unsure if it was given merely as an imprint or truly gifted as a token.
If it were the latter, then in Wusheng Hall’s territory, who would dare obstruct Su Mo?
It was simply beyond imagination!
In his heart, he sighed in awe…
That the former wanderer had grown into the towering figure he was today?
In Guan Yue Ridge, having Su Mo save his life, afterward, in conversation, Jiao Wenhao knew Su Mo had designs on his own agency, as well as agencies in Luoxia City or in Phoenix Alliance territory.
