Chapter 254 - The Truth
“What are your names? Where do you come from? What do you do?”
The leader, eager to comply, began the introductions.
“My full name is Gu Quanzhong, followed by my second brother Gu Quanxiao, third brother Gu Quanren, fourth brother...”
“Our names embody the virtues of loyalty, filial piety, benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom, and faithfulness!”
“We hail from Pluto, the world's second-largest mercenary organization!”
“Our mission is to use this map to pinpoint the location of Emperor Zhou's tomb!”
Jiang Hao found that their account matched the information he had previously heard.
He nodded, tentatively accepting their story.
As Jiang Hao probed further and listened to Gu Quanzhong's responses, the picture became clearer.
It turned out that this seven-man squad was merely carrying out a task assigned by the Pluto organization!
Their patron had provided them with an ancient map, instructing them to verify the authenticity of the tomb depicted on it.
The reason they believed it to be Emperor Zhou's tomb was based on information supplied by their patron.
Jiang Hao, now examining the map he'd just received from Gu Quanzhong, furrowed his brows in concentration.
“Where did this benefactor acquire the map, and how can he be so certain it's Emperor Zhou's tomb?”
Thus, Jiang Hao made the decision to take control of this squad.
To the outside world, they would still appear as mercenaries from the Hades Organization.
Secretly, he planned for Gu Quanzhong to infiltrate the Hades Organization as his undercover agent.
He expected Gu Quanzhong to report back immediately with any relevant information.
But the question remained: would Gu Quanzhong and his men heed his commands?
Although they were under his threat for now, once he healed them and sent them on their way, wouldn't they be out of his reach, like dragons returning to the ocean?
“How can I ensure their loyalty?” Jiang Hao wondered.
As he pondered, he noticed a spider dangling from a tree branch before him.
He swiftly caught it and mentally commanded the system.
“System, disassemble!”
“Affirmative, host!”
“Ding... Congratulations, host, for successfully disassembling a spider. You have acquired the Poison Master skill, along with 1.2 skill points and 1.2 experience points!”
