Rebirth: Leading Families to Survive in the Apocalypse - Chapter 421 - 421 Four Hundred and Twenty-One Refusal
Chapter 421: Chapter Four Hundred and Twenty-One: Refusal Chapter 421: Chapter Four Hundred and Twenty-One: Refusal This start was somewhat inauspicious. Han Jin did regret bringing Han Jiajia with him; he hadn’t expected that little girl to be one of Su Jin’s people.
In order not to disturb the normal business of the Heart Talk Store with the commotion here, upon seeing Su Jin’s signal, Lin Xiuyuan created an opaque ice wall in front of everyone, between the two rooms.
At the appearance of the ice wall, the entire venue was abuzz.
“Did you see that? He just took a few seconds to make a wall out of ice!”
“I saw it, that’s really amazing!”
“I heard that the Ice Element young man is the cousin of big shot Su Jin!”
“No wonder, the whole family is full of big shots!”
Lin Xiuyuan also didn’t expect that just an ice wall would cause so much discussion, nor did he expect that many young girls would run out from the side queues to join the one where Lin Xiuyuan was selling his goods…
“Pfft, your son is getting all the glory,” Huang Yunxiang said, trying to suppress a laugh, though she didn’t deny feeling a tiny bit proud herself.
“Had I known, I would have made a wall. His old man’s Earth wall could’ve been done in a few seconds as well,” Lin Cheng said, feeling a bit sad as he hadn’t been in the spotlight for a long time, especially when a girl who had been at the front of the line had actually run to the end of Lin Xiuyuan’s queue…
What was the meaning of all this?
Lin Cheng’s spoon digging into the rice paused reluctantly for a moment until he was nudged a few times by Huang Yunxiang, prompting him to get busy again.
Inside the ice wall, Han Jin’s eyes flashed with amazement for an instant.
A high-rank Ice Element!
This Heart Talk Team, he wanted it more and more.
“Mr. Lu, hello, let me formally introduce myself. I am Han Jin from B city, and I am also one of the examiners for the Mercenary Corps this time. I have long heard of the Heart Talk Team from S city,” Han Jin said in a polite tone, which did not win over Su Jin and Lu Hao.
Who said he was from our S city?
And they had just tried to attack Qiqi, although they didn’t injure Qiqi in the slightest, Han Jiajia’s Wood Element Ability had indeed been aimed at Qiqi.
Remembering what Liao Yifan had told her about her conflict with Han Jiajia, it was because Han Jiajia nearly hit a little boy with her car at the base. Liao Yifan had forcibly stopped Han Jiajia’s car with his Power Element Ability.
The little boy she had saved was Zhou Yang, the first little customer of the Heart Talk Store. Back then, Liao Yifan was only comforting Zhou Yang and was almost hit by Han Jiajia’s Wood Element Ability. Fortunately, the Security team arrived in time to stop the farce.
“That woman is just a mad dog; there’s no use talking to her, she wouldn’t understand anyway,” Liao Yifan commented on Han Jiajia.
Su Jin looked at Han Jin and Han Jiajia. A mad dog and its master holding the leash?
“An examiner from B city attacking a member of my Heart Talk Team in a public setting without provocation, may I ask what this means?” Su Jin asked.
Han Jiajia couldn’t help wanting to argue, but was glared back into silence by Han Jin.
This young girl is also a member of the Heart Talk Team?
Moreover, with that man by her side, they didn’t hurt her at all.
Nevertheless, Han Jin still put on an apologetic face and said to the group, “I am truly sorry, it was all just a misunderstanding, just kids’ horseplay. I will reprimand my younger sister when we return home to make sure she won’t do it again.”
“So, what exactly brings you here to find us?” Su Jin’s question was direct, wanting to cut through the pleasantries.
Looking at Lu Hao, Han Jin thought, a Fire Element Ability User?
However, he had learned that Lu Hao’s Fire Element was only Level Four, and he wondered whether Lu Hao could still be so arrogant after a comparison with the Level Five Fire Element Qian Hong that he had brought along.
“Then I’ll just be frank, our B City is now the largest base in the country, bar none. Whether in terms of military force or supplies, we have an absolute advantage. Right now, B City Base is in need of talented people. I wonder if you are interested in seeking development opportunities in B City?”
Han Jin said with a smile to the two of them.
“Sorry, we’re not interested,”
Su Jin and Lu Hao looked at each other and replied without hesitation.
“You really don’t know what’s good for you, inviting you to go is a sign of respect,”
Han Jiajia said from behind Han Jin. No one the Han family wanted had ever refused them.
“Jiajia, don’t talk nonsense.”
After chastising Han Jiajia, Han Jin continued to speak to the two of them, “If the Heart Talk Team is willing to develop in B City, you can join our base’s management, and you will enjoy various privileges and access to diverse resources.”
Joining the base’s management would be much better than scraping by on odd jobs here, right?
Moreover, the Heart Talk Team’s ability to gather supplies seemed very strong. The Heart Talk Convenience Store had only been closed for a few days and now they had reopened. His Han family was in need of such people.
“Not going,”
Lu Hao replied with just two words, making the atmosphere instantly awkward.
Mao Qiqi also pulled Lian Jiyue to stand behind Su Jin and Lu Hao. There were four people on the other side; they couldn’t afford to lose their presence.
Everyone thought Han Jin would fly into a rage, but unexpectedly, he laughed and said, “No worries, I genuinely like your team. I will be staying in S City Base until the assessment. If you change your minds, you can find me anytime. And remember, to achieve a high rank in the assessment, you’ll need to pass my challenge first,”
“Thanks for the heads up,” Su Jin replied.
“Don’t mention it. Well, I won’t disturb your store any longer. Wishing you prosperity in business,”
After speaking, Han Jin left with Han Jiajia and Sun Manhui who was behind them, and Mao Qiqi kept an eye out, noticing that the Invisibility Ability User did not leave immediately but stood in the corner of the door.
“Sister Xiao Jin, there’s an Invisible Person in that corner,”
Mao Qiqi whispered in Su Jin’s ear.
Su Jin nodded and had Lin Xiuyuan remove the ice wall. She and Lu Hao continued selling supplies as if nothing had happened, while the person in the corner seemed to observe for a while before leaving.
“Gone?”
Su Jin asked Mao Qiqi who came running over.
“Gone, left in the same direction as those three,” Mao Qiqi replied.
“Thanks, Qiqi,”
Su Jin said with a smile. Having a Mental Element Ability User in the team was just so convenient.
The queue to buy supplies grew into five lines, but their length remained unchanged. Su Jin got so busy that she promptly forgot about the incident, and in between, Mao Zhihang dragged her to the back to restock the temporary warehouse twice.
The elders in the space saw the supplies continuously disappearing into the warehouse, delighted to no end.
…
Contrarily, back at Han Jin and co.’s residence, Han Jin, looking at Wang Liang who just returned, asked, “They didn’t say anything else, just continued selling their goods?”
“That’s right,”
Wang Liang answered truthfully. He could tell those two indeed didn’t take Young Master Han and his company seriously. Yet, he also only dared to convey what he had seen.
“Brother, I told you they are ungrateful. Even if I hadn’t caused a scene, their attitude clearly wouldn’t have changed,”
Han Jiajia commented.
Han Jin’s face darkened as he said, “Unless they don’t want a high rank, I won’t be going easy on them.”
