BXBX NOVEL Chapter 151 151: A Tempting Offer
"Okay, that\'s enough for now. We can head back to see what the Thorn Rose Sect wants from me." Yoze said as he stretched his muscles and got dressed.
"Okay, " Jewel nodded her head and tossed the empty bucket on the ground.
When Yoze and Jewel got back to his room inside Ten Ton Inn, they saw that there were five people inside. Four of whom were complete strangers to Yoze but he could see that there was a clear divide between them.
The first group consisted of two men and one woman, all of whom looked to be in their early sixties. Though their appearance was old, Yoze knew that underneath their loose robes were powerful bodies that could destroy an entire town.
Even though this was the first time he had met them he immediately knew these old men and women were Thorn Rose Cultivation Sect elders since they all were peak Blood Masters. It also helped that all their clothes had the word \'Elder\' embroidered on them.
As for the other two Blood Masters in the room, one of them was Blood Master Scarlett who Yoze had met a long time ago. Different from the last time they met she was no longer wearing a long blue dress but simple red clothes that looked similar to the Thorn Rose Sect Elders.
The moment she sensed a presence entering the room, Blood Master Scarlett\'s mouth slightly curved up into a half smile before she swiftly hid it. Her reaction speed was so quick that none of the Blood Masters presents noticed her sudden change except one, Yoze.
He saw everything as clear as day and wondered why she felt the need to hide it from even her sect elders. Were they not on the same side or was there more to this than he first thought?
Across from Blood Master Scarlett was a middle-aged man with a thick beard and a face covered in scars. For someone to have this many scars but still be alive was a testament to how strong he was.
The first name that came up in Yoze\'s mind was Blood Master Steel. What drew his attention the most was Blood Master Steel\'s fists since he saw traces of what seemed to be the result of training a technique similar to Blood Fist.
Just as Yoze was examining them, the sect elders, Blood Master Scarlett, and Blood Master Steel were examining him as well. The moment the sect elders looked at Yoze they felt surprised to see how massive he was.
This was their first time seeing a human that was so tall and muscular that they felt he was closer to an elephant than a human.
"What did his parents feed him to make him so big?" A collective thought flew across their heads.
Blood Master Scarlett on the other hand didn\'t flinch when she noticed that Yoze was way bigger than when they first met. But she did show an appreciative smile and nodded as if they were good friends.
Blood Master Steel\'s eyes glowed with a bloody glimmer when he saw Yoze and caught the smell of blood coming from his body. That was a scent that could only come from a Blood Master or someone who bathed in blood every day that it had seeped into their skin.
Whichever one was the case, made Blood Master Steel heavily interested in him. Especially after hearing all the good things about him.
"Good Afternoon, I was told that you wanted to see me?" Yoze said with politeness.
"Yoze, do you remember me? I\'m Scarlett NewBorn, I wanted to take you as a student but you were too busy at that time."
"Anyway, that was in the past right now. I wanted to ask you for your help. Please teach this man a lesson."
"He beat me up when you left and has been bullying me and my sect. So I could only bring him to you." Blood Master said with sadness and guilt as if she felt terrible for troubling her friend with her problems.
Yoze looked at Blood Master Scarlett\'s act and didn\'t feel very impressed. They didn\'t even have a close relationship with each other. Not only that, she warned him that Blood Master Steel would come after him right after he rejected her.
So for him to fight for her sake was impossible in his book.
"Sorry, but I\'m not interested." Yoze shook his head denying her request.
"We will pay you 100 thousand silver as well as allow you to become an elder of the Thorn Rose Sect."
"We might only be a mid-sized sect but the resources that you can utilize would be much more than what the City is offering you." A short male elder with graying hair spoke up and offered Yoze.
Yoze turned his attention to the man and noted that while he was dressed the same as the other elders they all looked at the male elder with respect. They all were silent and only allowed that one man to speak.
This elder was the only one whose clothes were embroidered with a different title from the rest with his title being \'Supreme Elder\'. Just that title alone showed that he held much more power than the other two elders.
Hearing the Supreme Elder\'s offer made Jewel\'s heart skip a beat from shock. 100 thousand silver was more money than 90 percent of people would never get a chance to see in their lifetimes and it was just offered right in front of her as if it was nothing.
What was even more important was the offer to become an elder of the sect without first becoming a student of the sect. This was extremely rare for martial art sects to offer as this position was usually only given to the sect\'s disciples.
For them to offer Yoze not only an extravagant amount of money but even let him skip the process of first becoming a student and then an elder was huge. Especially when one considers the fact that it was almost categorized as an evil sect.
She had some basic knowledge of the Thorn Rose Cultivation sect and knew everyone in that sect was cold-blooded. Just like how Blood Master Scarlett tended to murder her disciples, it was rumored that many teachers in the sect did the same.
There were even some calls from the martial art community to classify them as an evil martial sect. But that never came to materialize due to rumors that they had connections with the Martial Rose Sect. Which was considered to be a contender for entering the top 10 martial art sects.
Jewel glanced at Yoze and saw that even he was moved by the offer. She couldn\'t help but wonder if he was more interested in the money or the position as an elder.
