Chapter 570: Promotion Officer (Part 3)
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
After hearing Wang Mang’s words, the soldier’s expression turned bitter, as he realized that getting Wang Mang to sign was basically impossible now.
In any case, if he had been in Wang Mang’s place, he would also be angry at being disrespected and sidelined. The other promotion officers had ignored Wang Mang for all the lower-level appointments, and were only coming to him now that they needed his signature.
There was no one who would take that lying down.
He could only laugh dejectedly.
“Yes, I will definitely convey Milord’s words to them.”
BoxNovel.comAfter saying that, the soldier left dejectedly, while Wang Mang busied himself with his own matters again. In any case, he knew that the other two promotion officers would definitely come looking for him.
Half an hour later, in the military camp, Li Jian and Yang Wei were furious when they heard the news.
Li Jian, the fat one, roared, “This bastard is too arrogant! He actually wants us to beg him personally?”
Yang Wei’s expression was ugly as well.
“This damned fellow! He simply doesn’t know how to appreciate favors!”
“We have to teach him a lesson and show him who has the final say when it comes to military appointments!”
Hearing Yang Wei’s harsh words, Li Jian felt a headache coming on.
“The problem is that even if we want to deal with him, it’s difficult!”
“He’s a Taiyi Golden Immortal realm expert, while we’ve both only reached the Golden Immortal realm. How are we supposed to deal with him?”
Yang Wei was taken aback, and he immediately recalled how strong Wang Mang was. If they really tried anything funny, who would end up on the losing end? Them!
At the thought of this, they both fell into a dilemma.
After a while, Li Jian said gloomily, “The approval for this appointment must be passed today. What should we do?”
“Are we really going to reconcile with him?”
After saying that, Fatty Li Jian looked at Yang Wei and frowned.
Yang Wei was a little unwilling.
“Reconcile? How? Are we really going to give him power?””
After pondering for a while, Li Jian said, “How about this? We’ll join hands and take three-quarters of the power, and give him one-quarter.”
“In the future, we’ll take three-quarters of the appointment approval documents and give him a quarter.”
“Otherwise, if he holds mid-rank positions hostage, we’ll be the ones who lose out.”
At this point, Li Jian could not help but curse, “F*ck, in the past, there were very few centurion appointments, yet one showed up the moment he joined us.”
“Fine! Only a quarter then.”
“Will he agree?” Yang Wei sneered. “He even scolded us.”
Li Jian shook his head and said, “I don’t care. He has to.”
After a long discussion, the two of them finally decided to personally discuss this matter with Wang Mang.
This was because the approval of the appointment could not be delayed. There was a time limit, and they would all suffer if they delayed it!
Soon, the two of them led their guards toward the manor where Wang Mang was.
Inside, Wang Mang was lying on the sofa, enjoying the massage of two young and beautiful palace maids.
At this moment, a guard walked in and said respectfully, “Milord, the other two promotion officers are outside and are requesting an audience.”
Wang Mang was stunned when he heard Big Head’s words. This was the nickname that Wang Mang had given him, as his head was bigger than an ordinary person’s.
“Let them in!” After pondering for a moment, Wang Mang nodded slightly.
Upon hearing this, Big Head quickly left, and not long after, he brought in the two furious promotion officers.
Seeing Wang Mang’s lazy expression, who seemed unbothered by their presence, they became even more furious.
However, when they thought of the purpose of their visit, they suppressed the anger in their hearts.
Li Jian smiled and said, “Fellow Daoist, you’ve been enjoying yourself for the past two days, while it’s been hard on the two of us!”
Hearing this, Wang Mang opened his eyes and glanced at the fatty. He was expressionless and did not speak, nor did he pay attention to him.
This made Li Jian feel extremely awkward, and the anger in his heart grew even more.
Yang Wei snapped, “We’re talking to you! Don’t pretend to be deaf and mute!”
Wang Mang abruptly stood up and released his aura without restraint. He walked up with a cold expression.
“Are you talking to me? Hmm?”
As he spoke, Wang Mang placed a hand on his shoulder and exerted his spiritual pressure, causing Yang Wei to let out a pained scream.
“Let go! Stop!”
Wang Mang snorted coldly and raised his leg to kick him.
“Ahhh!”
A miserable scream rang out as he was sent flying by Wang Mang’s kick.
After getting up from the ground in a sorry state, Yang Wei looked at Wang Mang with a ferocious expression, his eyes filled with hatred.
Wang Mang sneered, and he did not conceal the killing intent in his eyes.
Li Jian, who was originally very angry, swallowed his anger the moment he sensed this.
After taking a deep breath, Li Jian stepped forward with a bright smile and said, “Fellow Daoist, please calm down, We’re all brothers, so why are you so angry?”
Wang Mang merely replied in a cold tone, “Speak! Why are you here? Brothers? Are you even worthy of calling me your brother?”
Hearing this, Li Jian suppressed his anger and said fawningly, “Yes, yes. Fellow Daoist is right.”
“How about this? Fellow Daoist, we’ll split our power. Everyone will hold one-third of the power. It’s fair and just, okay?”
“In the future, each of us will get one-third of the appointment approval documents. This is fair, right?”
Hearing this, Wang Mang’s expression softened slightly. He then put his arm around Li Jian’s shoulder and chuckled, “That’s right! Perhaps you are my good brother, after all.”
At this point, Wang Mang walked up to Yang Wei with a smile and asked with concern, “Brother, I was a little angry just now and accidentally scared you.. Are you hurt?”
