Chapter 753: Recruiting Rodney’s Loyalty

After listening to Rodney's words, I was stunned. Suddenly, the sick young man who excitedly pulled me to worship me at the door of the tool store appeared in front of me again.

I'm even more sure that he hasn't changed.

So, Hehe sneered twice, slapped his hand away, and said coldly: "If I said I wanted your sister's life, would you be willing to give it to me?"

There was a moment of dead silence in the hall, and I could feel the disbelieving looks from behind, the angry looks from the side, Eva's confusion, and Rodney's confusion.

The silence lasted for about half a minute. Rodney looked distressed and said, "Xiaoyi, do you hate Eva?"

"I don't hate her."

"Then why must Eva's life be taken?" He was very puzzled.

"If you want to become stronger, you have to pay some price," I said coldly.

"An Xiaoyi, you" Jin Siqi was about to come over with a kitchen knife, but was stopped by Rodney.

Rodney sighed and leaned on the sofa with a troubled expression on his face.

He looked at his sister first, then became confused again.

"Brother." Eva slowly lowered her head. Then, she suddenly raised her head, looked directly at me, and said, "An Xiaoyi, if I die, are you really willing to help my brother become stronger?"

"Of course, I do what I say, but -" I leaned against the sofa and said coldly: "You must be killed by your brother himself. If it is done by anyone else, or you do it yourself, it won't count. .”

"An Xiaoyi, you are really going too far!" This time, even Morris couldn't stand it anymore.

However, Harold and Yuffie still said nothing.

On the side, on the sofa, Rodney held his head in distress and muttered to himself: "Ah, ah, I'm so distressed. On one side is my sister's life, on the other side is revenge or becoming stronger, which one should I choose, ah ah ah. "

I sat there quietly, putting on an indifferent expression, waiting for his answer.

After a long time, Rodney suddenly raised his head, with a look on his face as if he was about to cry: "Xiaoyi, can you add another option?"

"cannot."

"Hey," he sighed and said, "Then the only thing we can do is let my sister kill me, and then you make them stronger and give my sister everything I deserve."

"No, don't, brother!" Eva exclaimed in shock.

"Why do you do this?" I asked him.

"My sister has not been welcomed by her family since she was a child. If I die, someone will definitely bully her. I will give her all the status and power I have. With the help of Uncle Harold and Sister Jin Siqi, she will definitely survive. Very well."

Rodney looked sad and said, "It's just that I may not be able to see her happy smile anymore."

"You don't hate me?" I stared into his eyes and said coldly.

"I don't hate you." He smiled brightly: "Because you are my recognized friend."

Looking at each other for a few seconds, I suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and smiled: "Forget it, let's skip the topic just now and let's get down to business now."

"You're not going to take my life?" he asked doubtfully.

"You really want to die?" I cut my throat and said, "The question just now was just a joke. Besides, didn't you entrust your sister to me? I will do whatever I want with the person who entrusted me to it." Just kill me? Then where is my integrity? Where is my prestige?"

Behind me, I heard several people sighing in relief.

"Okay, now let's get down to business, don't interrupt," I said seriously, "I only want one thing."

"What?"

"Your loyalty" I pointed at Rodney and said, "I want you to be loyal to me."

"How can this be done!" Jin Siqi exploded again. She stepped forward with a kitchen knife in her hand and said with murderous intent: "An Xiaoyi, you are too presumptuous. Rodney is the future lord of Airui City and a legendary hero. Descendant, do you want him to be loyal to you?"

I ignored her, but stared at Rodney and said, "Tell me your answer."

"Okay, I have no problem at all." Rodney answered very simply, without even the slightest hesitation.

"Rodney, you" Jin Siqi was stunned by Rodney's sudden reaction.

Rodney turned to her and apologized: "I'm sorry, Sister Jin Siqi, I am not a qualified leader."

He said, lowered his head, and continued: "If it is to exchange your lives for the power I want and what I have lost, I really have no way to agree, but if it is to exchange for my life or my loyalty, If so, I think I can totally accept it.”

"But, Rodney, you agreed to be loyal to him, which means that even if the power of Airui City is recaptured in the future, you will be just his puppet to control Airui City!" Jin Siqi pointed at me with great excitement.

"I understand," Rodney said, "and I also know the potential meaning. However, if I don't borrow An Xiaoyi's power, it will be difficult for me to fulfill my ambition. Maybe I will only be able to live a pretty good life. A fugitive, and—"

He turned to me: "An Xiaoyi is my friend. I trust him and will not do anything to hurt me."

Everyone's eyes turned to me, but I didn't nod, shake my head, or answer him.

"So" Rodney stood up, raised his right hand, bowed slightly to me, and said, "I, Rodney, hereby swear that I will be loyal to An Xiaoyi, my friend. I will obey his orders for the rest of my life and will never disobey him."

Are you loyal to me in the name of a friend?

I breathed out: No matter what, it’s all loyalty anyway, it doesn’t matter in any situation.

I also stood up, held his hand, smiled and said, "I accept your allegiance."

In the hall, except for Rodney, everyone else's expressions were ugly. I understood what was going on. It was indeed rude to threaten my friends to be loyal to me in the name of becoming stronger, but I couldn't help it. I do this because I also have my own plans.

In Zephyr Continent, once the oath of allegiance is uttered, it is like a believer who has a faith and cannot change it for the rest of his life, otherwise, bad luck will strike.

After accepting Rodney's allegiance, I stood up and left without stopping. I guess no one else in the villa would welcome me except Rodney.

But it doesn’t matter, I’m not here to make friends in Zephyr Continent, but to complete my goals one after another. The most recent goal now is to first increase the strength of Rodney and the heroic guild loyal to him.

After a conversation with Dewey, he asked for a large sum of gold coins to use as working capital. Dewey agreed without saying a word.

It seems that what seems like a large sum of gold coins to me may not even be worth anything to Dewey.

Not long after, the gold coins arrived. Together with the staff of the Dasha City Adventurer Base, I carried boxes full of gold coins to the door of the small villa and knocked on Rodney's door again.
