Chapter 304: Leader? Elder?

Pam Honzi who had never experienced this sighed as he saw Qian Jin’s honest eyes. “Maybe it is because of his insane talent that the gods took away his privilege of awakening his bloodline?”

With this talent and an Elf King Bloodline activated? Pam Honzi curled his lips. “How can others function around him?”

Qian Jin looked at Pam Honzi’s eyes that didn’t hide any emotions and secretly praised him. “What a terrific leader!”

As Qian Kunge, the Elf King Bloodline Warrior who achieved ultimate Awakening stated in his notes, “The expression of real emotion is sometimes more powerful. It isn’t because these people can’t, they just didn’t need to. Those people who tried hard to hide their emotions and tried to surprise their opponents are just not confident enough.”

“Damn! Great!” Pam Honzi clapped again and said, “Looks like you won’t be joining the Pam Family then.”

Pam Honxuan also nodded on the side. “Why would Qian Jin join the Pam Family? Having this talent, he would get great treatment if he decided to go back to Qian Family. Even though he could help members of Qian Family to activate bloodlines, he would be still very useful.”

However, a person like this just defeated three Elf King Bloodline Warriors in front of other members of the Qian Family.

“Ok…” Pam Honzi opened his arms and said, “Can I speak with you alone?”

“Alone?” Qian Jin was surprised. This leader’s appearance was direct and simple, nothing he did was extra. “Why would he do this when he knew I won’t join the Pam Family?” He wondered.

Duren Burg patted his shoulder and turned around. Fanta Kunge also shrugged his shoulder and walked out with Duren Burg.

Pam Honzi looked at Qian Jin with some envy. “These young men are worth envying for. With no words, they used their direct actions to support each other. Compared with huge families, a small group like this was much stronger.”

The huge hall in the center of the Pam Family only had two people in it.

Pam Honzi adjusted his sitting position and relaxed. He seemed to be more like a close elder who was talking with a younger generation than a negotiation on benefits and profits.

The atmosphere in the hall got a lot softer as he did that.

“Kid, what do you think of Duren Burg?”

Qian Jin didn’t expect the first question to be about Duren Burg.

“Burg?” Qian Jin said, “He is a great person.”

Pam Honzi stared at Qian Jin for a few seconds and nodded. “As a warrior who woke up the Hydra Bloodline for many years, I can tell you that Duren Burg has unimaginable talent. If he returns to the Pam Family, I can give him the best resources and environment.”

“Unimaginable talent?” Qian Jin nodded along. Duren Burg’s performances weren’t bad, but if he had the talent that Pam Honzi spoke of, it hadn’t shown itself yet.

“As the leader of the Pam Family, I have to plan ahead.” Pam Honzi sighed. “I can let Duren Burg experience the altar this time, but there won’t be a next time.”

“Only once?” Qian Jin looked at this man who had the name of Snake Emperor in surprise. It looked like that even if Qian Jin offered all the mystic water he had, this man won’t bend the rules anymore. This leader wanted to use this altar as a way to get Duren Burg back to the family.

“The fact that Burg’s mom was sent out of the Pam Family…” A helpless expression appeared on Pam Honzi’s face as he explained. “Honestly, if they knew a kid like Burg was about to appear, the last leader wouldn’t do it in a thousand years.”

Qian Jin nodded. As someone who walked out of the Qian Family, he knew the struggle. Many things in huge families were a certain way for a reason. If it was necessary, even the leaders of such families would sacrifice themselves, let alone sacrificing others.

Pam Honzi let out a long deep sigh. In the history of any family, such situations would occur. Even the Royal Zence Family would do the same thing. The third prince of the Emperor, Zence Neil was a perfect example of that.

“However…” Qian Jin suddenly said, “Mr. Pam Honzi, I hate trades like those. As someone who is from a huge family, I hate it more than anyone else. Without caring about the real stakeholder and sacrificing someone against their own will in the name of the family, I get very angry at that.”

“Why must this person be sacrificed? Why can’t it be someone else? Perhaps, change it to the person who is making that decision?” A pissed expression appeared on Qian Jin’s face as he said. “That’s logical, but why not? Why would the decision maker think that it is a good trade when someone was being sacrificed and a bad trade when they are the ones being sacrificed? I hate ….”

A rare shook appeared on Pam Honzi’s face, but more gentleness and warmth appeared in his eyes. Like a close elder who heard a mistake said by his close ones, he didn’t get angry. Instead, he smiled and said, “It is because you are in that position.”

Qian Jin stopped ranting and looked at Pam Honzi in silent. When coming from a different perspective, even the most intelligent people can’t understand each other.

“Let’s go back to Burg.” Pam Honzi adjusted his sitting position again and said, “He probably has a huge goal. If everything goes smoothly, he might even have the chance to challenge other Ultimate Bloodline Warriors. You are his friend, I’m sure that you will consider his future.”

“Talk to him.” Pam Honzi stood up and looked at Qian Jin and said, “Talk to him, it is the best for him to come back. I’m willing to compensate him for what the last leader did. This is no longer a conversation between the leader of Pam Family and you, but an elder who wants to see his relative come home.”

Qian Jin was stunned. Changing from a direct approach to a soft approach and use the argument of family and future to push his pervasiveness to another level. All of that combined with his real and direct eyes filled with real emotions, it was hard for anyone to say no to that.

Qian Jin sighed as he stood up. He looked at Pam Honzi and said: “Leader, do you want Duren Burg to become someone like you? When was the last time that you laughed out loud for real? Have you seen Burg’s smiles and heard his laughs? As a friend, I would want him to succeed in the future, I will convey your message. However, I won’t try to convince him. I don’t want his life to be filled with calculations and lose that happiness and joy.”

The emotion in Pam Honzi’s eyes didn’t change for one bit. He nodded and said, “I got it. Then please help me tell him one more thing. The Gate of the Pam Family would always be open for him. If he encounters any troubles, he can always come to me. Believe me, he would treat it more serious when you say that to him instead of me.”

Qian Jin nodded. Duren Burg had the bad taste of the Pam Family stuck in his throat, just like how Qian Jin had a bad taste of the Qian Family in his mouth. Even if Qian Zhanxuan said the same thing to him, he would respond with a sneer.

“Then…” Pam Honzi stopped as he stared at the door. “Swit Lei, why are you here?” He said with a displeased tone.

Swit Lei? Qian Jin looked at the person who just walked in. It was an old man who was in a Mystic Pharmacist Uniform. All of his hair was white, but his figure was still proper.

“Leader.” Swit Lei stood by the door and slowly bowed. “Excuse my rudeness, but I heard a scammer came to the Pam Family.”

“Scammer?” Pam Honzi laughed as he looked around. “Where is the scammer?” He asked.

Swit Lei rolled his eyes as he pointed at Qian Jin with his hand that was somehow black at the moment and said: “This is the scammer! I heard that he was saying that he had a Mystic Potion that can activate Hydra Bloodline. I came here to check him out, but I knew he is a scammer as soon as I saw him!”

Pam Honzi kept silent. Didn’t matter if it was business, economy, or fighting, he was an expert at it. However, he knew nothing about Mystic Pharmaceuticals. Swit Lei who was the second Assisting Elder on Mystic Pharmaceuticals in the Pam Family, he held a lot of credibility in this field.

Even the Zence Family sent an invitation to Swit Lei and made a spectacular offer. But since this person was very close with Pam Honzi, he declined the offer from the Royal Family and joined the Pam Family.

All these years, Swit Lei didn’t participate in anything except Mystic Pharmaceuticals. When the Pam Family had favors to ask him, he never declined and tried his best to help.

“Leader, as an Assisting Elder, I used the best resources of Pam Family but didn’t help Pam Family much. I can’t just let you be fooled.” Swit Lei walked forward when he saw Pam Honzi’s permission and stood in front of Qian Jin. “How old are you? Less than 20?” He asked.

20? Qian Jin nodded. If his time in Endless World wasn’t accounted for, he would be less than 20. But if those time were incorporated, he would be actually older than 20.

“Little scammer like you can fool the leader who doesn’t know much about Mystic Pharmaceuticals. But to fool me?” Swit Lei straightened his back and said with confidence in his grey eyes. “Impossible!”
