The Heavenly Tiger Swordsman
Request Help

Hao Zhao eventually chose to invite the man who claimed to know him, where the restaurant around the city center was the place where Hao Zhao took him.

After ordering a few dishes to make the man feel better, Hao Zhao finally asked who the man really was so that he could look very disappointed after knowing he did not know him.

“Before that, let me express my gratitude to you Young Master. Hehe, because there is not usually someone as good as you to be willing to treat me like this, " said the man with a happy smile.

Hao Zhao only nodded at his words, before saying, “No need to think about that, I did this for fear that you were someone important to me but I don't remember. Now can you tell me who you are? So that I can take a stand regarding your presence which is quite disturbing my free time."

The man before Hao Zhao heard that immediately gulped, seeing how cold Hao Zhao was when he said that all the signs of his words were seriousness.

“Oh .. haha, I am indeed quite an important person to you Young Master. So there's no need for you to think about it" said the man in cold sweat who started pouring down.

Hao Zhao briefly raised his eyebrows, before saying, “What's important?"

The man in front of Hao Zhao was silent, looking regretful before daring to be so pretentious with Hao Zhao that the fact was not at all.

“A— do you remember the incident in front of the Treasure Lantern some time ago?" ask the man in a stark manner.

Hao Zhao immediately tried to recall what incident the man was referring to, before shaking his head softly not feeling there was anything interesting about what he remembered.

“Oh, I was the man who at that time offended you. I admit I may not be important to you, but you are so important to me. So please help me Young Master, to remove the blacklist that has currently been attached to me." The man was already kneeling before Hao Zhao, making some other restaurant visitors turn to find out what was going on.

Hao Zhao certainly remembered who this man before him was, that was someone who was now blacklisted for Treasure Lantern for daring to hinder him. One thing that Hao Zhao did not understand was why the man was instead trying to ask him for help and not those who were directly related to the Treasure Lantern.

He did have some ownership of the Treasure Lantern, but it did not at all make Hao Zhao able to arbitrarily interfere with what had been the decision of the Treasure Lantern itself.

“So the point is that you are not important, but because you have no malicious intent. I can try to think of this as nothing, " Hao Zhao said as he stood up from his seat, feeling uncomfortable being the center of attention of the visitors there.

“No, Young Master. Please listen to me first, I can do anything for you as long as you can help me get off this blacklist" the man said, it had already been several times to even bang his head against the floor hoping that Hao Zhao would help him.

Hao Zhao didn't care at all at first, until Hao Zhao accidentally remembered the two masked men, only then did Hao Zhao willingly sit back on his stool with a small smile on his face.

“Do anything for me?" asked Hao Zhao to make sure.

The man before Hao Zhao immediately nodded while breathing a sigh of relief, thinking that Hao Zhao would be willing to help her even though at the same time was also uncomfortable because of the smile on Hao Zhao's face that somehow felt terrible in his opinion.

“Why? Don't you want me to help you?" hao Zhao asked, realizing there was doubt from how the man's expression looked.

“Of course, but before that can you tell me what is your name?" hao Zhao asked, as the man before him had again sat on his stool.

“My name is Jian San, Young Master." The man resignedly.

Hao Zhao upon hearing the man's name immediately noticed him further, a simple robe with a sword at his waist, Hao Zhao could conclude that the man was a warrior without a sect if he looked at the man's power level as well.

“You're just an Intermediate-stage Body Training warrior, what can you do for me exactly?"Hao Zhao after not how long was silent.

Jian San after hearing Hao Zhao's words could only be silent, not thinking there was anything he could do and seemed to be worth his strength in the face of a figure like Hao Zhao.

“With your current strength, even to scare a mouse you can't. That's how weak you are" Hao Zhao said, shaking his head slowly as if disappointed.

Jian San receiving such a scathing remark from Hao Zhao's mouth certainly felt unacceptable, although in the end he could only try to ignore the sense of not accepting it because he could not do anything to Hao Zhao.

“I know I'm weak, that's why I really need resources to increase my strength. So ... I will do anything for you if it means I can buy something from the Treasure Lantern," Jian San said confidently.

Hao Zhao heard that immediately nodded in satisfaction, of course he understood why Jian San could be so careless as to accept it without looking further at what he would ask for.

“ Dealing with the Free swordsman is indeed fun," murmured Hao Zhao with a small smile.

Swordsman without a sect or better known as a Free swordsman, is a term for a swordsman who can only rely on himself to get stronger.

Unlike the warriors who joined a particular sect or group whose development was mostly supported by the strength of the place where they stood, the Free warriors could not expect anything from anyone other than themselves.

Because of this, most Free warriors tend to be so easy to guess his way of thinking. Where this is what makes Hao Zhao can be so confident that he can take advantage of Jian San with just a little push.

“Just promise me resources, then he will do anything for me" Hao Zhao muttered with a small laugh, where his laughter certainly made Jian San who heard him shudder.

“For this man's case, it's special because I don't have to promise anything that means this is my absolute advantage" murmured Hao Zhao once again, clearly feel lucky to meet Jian San when Jian San's presence there is so needed.

“Ehemm, Young Master. Can you stop looking at me like that? I feel very threatened for some reason because of that," Jian San said after gathering his courage.

Hao Zhao only raised his eyebrows hearing Jian San's words, before saying, “You're uncomfortable? I'm sorry then, can we just talk about the deal now if you want me to help you?"

“Te— of course, Young Master. That's what I've been waiting for since," Jian San said as he nodded quickly.
