"It's here, let's go in, the adults are waiting for you." Passing through a narrow corridor and skirting an area that resembled an office area, the tall figure finally stopped in front of an iron door.

Seeing this, Xia Chen nodded quietly, and after the door was opened and the situation was clear, he asked Ye Guanhai to explore around.

Bang!

Walking into the door, the iron door closed heavily, Xia Chen took a look, and found that the room was very empty, except for a few tables and chairs and the five masked guys sitting behind the tables and chairs, there was nothing else.

After looking at it, he slowly stepped forward, pulled a chair in front of him and sat down, then looked at the five people opposite, and narrowed his eyes slightly.

"You are the 'Yama'...... Right? ”

Soon, the first person on the left hand side said that he should be a man, wearing a lion mask and a burly figure.

"Yes."

Xia Chen's answer was very brief, and at the same time, he was also observing carefully, and he could tell from the mask that most of the five people present were the helmsmen of the four major parties in the Eastern Regions, "Demon Beast", "Ghost Capital", "Earth Spirit", and "Royal Power", as well as the head of the Eastern Regions Federation of Trade Unions.

Hehe......

It's a big battle!

Obviously, these guys attach great importance to him, otherwise it would not be possible for these bigwigs to come forward in person.

This also made him suspicious...... Do they think anything else about themselves? Then his eyes froze, waiting for the next inquiry.

"Do you know who we are?"

Soon, a second question appeared, and the questioner was the first person on the right-hand side, who appeared to be a woman wearing a wood-grain mask.

"Of course, the representatives of the four major parties in the Eastern Regions, as well as the heads of the Eastern Regions Federation of Trade Unions, your mask is so obvious, it seems that it is not difficult to judge." Xia Chen responded.

"Yes, you're smart, so let's ask you one more question, are you ...... Is it the [God Seed]? ”

This time it was the second man on the right, a male, wearing a golden mask with a crown carved on his forehead.

"Is that just a question about that?"

Xia Chen's heart was awe-inspiring, and after thinking about it for a while, he still nodded and admitted:

"I am."

In his opinion, since the Hunter Guild is secretly researching epic general-purpose cards, it means that they must need a large number of [God Seeds], especially those with great potential.

Therefore, revealing the identity of the [God Seed] at this moment is a bargaining chip for him, which can not only increase his chances of accessing the core, but also a guarantee of his own safety.

“……”

Hearing his answer, the five of them looked at each other, and their eyes were surprised, as if they didn't expect him to answer so refreshingly.

After reacting for a while, they quickly calmed down again, and then coughed lightly, and four questions were asked.

"Then let me ask you, where is the upper limit of your [Gift of Knowledge]? Epic or legendary? You should be clear about this, right? ”

The cyan ghost face in second place on the left said, his tone was a little not good, it seems that this guy should be the boss of the "ghost capital".

"The upper limit? If I say the ceiling is in mythology...... It could even be higher, you ...... Believe it? ”

Xia Chen stared at the cyan ghost's eyes, and replied in a deep voice, if there is anyone here who threatens him, it must be this one, and he naturally will not have a good face towards the other party.

“……”

"Okay 'Ghost', this is the headquarters."

After a moment of silence, seeing that the cyan ghost face was still looking at "Yama", the man sitting in the middle wearing a black and white mask stopped the eyes of the two from continuing to collide.

However, from the silence just now, it can be seen that the five people present did not believe Xia Chen's words, no wonder, who can believe this kind of words?

Of course, judging from the current performance and strength of "Yama", it is definitely no problem for his [Knowledge Gift] to finally reach the "Legend", and the five people asking this are just a test to test his attitude.

And seeing that this guy's answer was quite cooperative, they were relieved, so ...... It's just getting down to business.

"'Yama', I heard...... Do you want to create your own party? Is that so? The black and white mask asked.

"That's right, I don't want to be anyone's subordinate, and I don't want to act according to anyone's orders, since I am the person in charge, then I naturally want to be completely free!" Xia Chen replied.

"Hmm...... That's fine, but you have to know that there are a lot of people in some positions, and one carelessly...... Maybe even lose your life. "The black and white mask is unhurried.

"If you don't join any party, it's equivalent to starting from scratch without any protection, or you can ask me, what is the attitude of these four people around me towards you?"

"Humph!"

As soon as he said this, the cyan ghost face he called "Hades Ghost" suddenly snorted coldly, and first expressed his dissatisfaction, and it could be seen that if it weren't for the fact that "Yama" was very valuable to the union, he would have taken action directly.

After all, it is difficult for a party to accept the loss of a potential master card master, which will not only weaken the party's strength, but also allow other parties to take advantage of it.

"Of course I know, but so what, a master level who is as strong as the 'ghost capital' comes to my mountains and seas, isn't there no return?" Xia Chen's tone was cold and provocative.

In any case, at such a time, he can't lose his momentum, step by step, for the sake of greater interests in the future, he chose-for-tat!

"You say it again......"

As expected, as soon as Xia Chen's words came out, the eyes of the "ghost ghost" immediately became dangerous, and his tone was full of threats, as if he could break out at any time.

Seeing this, the rest of the people didn't stop one of them in the slightest, even the black and white mask just sat quietly, observing all this with cold eyes.

"So...... Do you want to do it? ”

Xia Chen spoke coldly, and several cards appeared in a flash of his palm.

He knew very well what the other party wanted to do, they didn't really want to sit idly by and let the "ghosts" mess around, but to give themselves a dismount first, and wait for themselves to retreat before making a move...... You can earn your own favor.

Scold......

A bunch of old foxes......

Xia Chen sneered in his heart, not ready to do what they wanted.

And now that he knew that they needed the Divine Seed, he could be sure that they didn't dare to do anything.

"Hands-on? Don't regret it! ”

Seeing that "Yama" was so arrogant, the "Ghost of the Dead" couldn't help it anymore, and suddenly stood up, an orange card immediately flashed in his hand, and his spiritual power was also mobilized.

"That's it!"

However, at this time, the black and white mask finally let out a loud cry and slapped the table angrily......

Syllable!

"'Ghost', sit down for me, this is not a place for you to fight!"

"Hehe......"

Seeing this scene, Xia Chen smiled in his heart, and he knew that these guys were playing such an abacus.

This kind of trick is okay to bluff those uninformed young people, after all, life is more important than anything else, but he already has some information before coming here, plus he is not afraid of death at all, so naturally he will not eat this set.

Seeing that he was not frightened of "Yama", the black and white mask also stared at him, although it was expected, but it still made him feel a little troublesome.

After all, no matter how talented a guy is, if he can't control it, he is prone to give birth to a lot of chaos, and the Hunter Guild has been able to develop so far by relying on a cautious and strong control!

"Okay 'Yama', we all know where your strength is, but I still have to warn you, unless you reach the legendary level, otherwise...... But it's not really safe. The black and white mask spoke again.

"You want to establish your own party and want to be free, I have no problem with these people, but for your safety, some of them are seeking refuge...... Still have to look for it. ”

"For example?"

Under the mask, the corners of Xia Chen's mouth curled, he knew very well what this guy's idea was, even if he didn't join the party, they would still try their best to control themselves.

"For example, you can directly invest in my subordinates, I will protect you, with me they will not dare to touch you casually, you can rest assured that you will develop." The black-and-white mask immediately stated his intentions.

“……”

"Is there any other choice?"

In this regard, Xia Chen had already thought that this was also his best choice at present, but he still asked.

"Something else? Then you are the only one to fend for yourself, but you have to think about it, after all, your strength is only a master at most, and if these people really want to move you, you will definitely not be able to stop it. The black and white mask shrugged and said indifferently.

“……”

"Okay, I see, then I'll have nothing but shelter under you...... Is there any other benefit? At this point, Xia Chen didn't say anything else, and went straight to the point.

"Hehe, the benefits are naturally there, all the resources on the side of the Eastern Regions Federation of Trade Unions can be opened for you, and there is no need to worry about money, as long as you can ensure that your strength has been exhausted and your value has been improving, you don't need to have any worries in terms of cultivation."

"Anything else?"

"Also, there are not many [God Seeds] in the Guild, and the same is true for those who have reached the Legendary level or have the potential of the Legendary level, if you want to quickly gain valuable experience and avoid detours, I can recommend you to the secret club within the Guild that is dedicated to the exchange of [God Seeds], I believe ...... You're bound to gain a lot from it! ”

"Oh, that sounds good, if it's true......"

Hearing this, Xia Chen couldn't help but be secretly surprised by the strength of the Hunter Guild, if it was really as this guy said, then it would not be an exaggeration to call this Hunter Guild "the number one force under the alliance".

As for this [God Seed Club]...... It should be the place where they gathered the [Divine Seed], so if you say that, you really want to join in!

"There's definitely a lot of top-secret information in there!" Xia Chen thought in his heart, but he still looked dissatisfied on the surface.

"Okay, these are just cultivation aspects, but what about status? I can't build my own party, be protected by you, and be just the head of a city, right? ”

"Of course, if you are willing to come under me, then you are in the same position as these four, they do not have any authority to command you, and they will not be able to do anything to you again." The black and white mask seemed to smile.

"Similarly, if you can pass the annual fixed assessment and be promoted to the core member after joining the club, your status can be improved again, at least on par with me."

"Oh? If I could do it, I wouldn't be your subordinate? Xia Chen raised his eyebrows and grasped the key.

"This is natural, every core member of the club is quite important, no matter what their own strength is, there is no difference in status, and at the same time, they will help and protect each other, which can be regarded as 'companions'." The black and white mask whispered back.

"Okay, just do as you say, I have no opinion." After thinking for a while, Xia Chen finally nodded, which was an expression of compromise.

"But I still say the same thing, what I want is freedom, if I usually have nothing to do, please don't arrange anything for me."

"Hehe, don't worry, we have always focused on the cultivation of potential [God Seed], not only will it not make you more trouble, but it will also make you more comfortable." The black and white mask laughed.

"So, since you agreed, I need to implant a control card in your brain according to the process, and I believe you can understand the purpose of doing this, after all...... This benefit cannot be taken for nothing. ”

"Control card?"

Hearing these three words, Xia Chen's eyes changed suddenly, and sure enough, as he expected, the other party would use some coercive control methods.

Although he was not afraid, he still couldn't show that he was directly accepting, which was too abnormal and easy to arouse suspicion.

"I'm sorry, I'm here to make money, not to be a dog." So, he stood up directly and made a look of "the conversation collapsed".

"Hehe, don't worry, this is a necessary step to climb up in the union, you can ask these four people next to me...... I've all experienced it. The black and white mask waved his hand and motioned for him to sit down first.

Then, the four people beside him turned around at the same time, revealing the back of their heads, and then a surge of spiritual power, and sure enough, they could see that they all had an implanted wound in the back of their heads, and they all flashed faint card light.

"Hmmm......"

Seeing this, Xia Chen couldn't help but squint his eyes, and after checking the status of the control cards they had implanted, he finally sat down suspiciously.

"Hehe, you don't have to worry too much, you've seen it, the function of this control card is to contact remotely at any time, and the other is to know where you are, and nothing else, you don't believe that you can check it before implantation, or you can set up your own mental defense mechanism to prevent implantation.

The only danger, that is, to take the initiative to dismantle without our secret order, will cause the control card to self-detonate, whether this is the case you can also check clearly, you should understand, this is really no way. ”

At this point, the black and white mask paused, and then continued:

"But I can guarantee that as soon as you join the club and become a core member, all restrictions will be lifted and you will be completely free."

As he spoke, he turned around, and there was also an implant wound on the back of his head, but there were no more cards in it.

"How? Think about it? This is a great opportunity for any card master, and it's the only way to get through the ranks quickly without opting in to the Alliance! ”

“……”

After hearing this, Xia Chen knew that it was almost over, and it would be a bit too much to perform again, but it would backfire.

So, he pondered for a long time again, and then looked at the four people opposite with a solemn face, and finally nodded.

"Okay, so be it."
