Martial Arts Escort System: I Got A Maxed Level Divine Technique From The Beginning

Chapter 133: Chapter 112: Accept the Escort!_3

Upon arrival at the main office of Wanxin Trading Company, they proceeded to the warehouse to inspect the goods.

“This batch of goods is sizable, and the journey will be quite arduous.”

After Su Mo’s group finished inspecting the goods, the Store Manager then presented a silver note of a thousand taels:

“Therefore, we have prepared three thousand taels of Patterned Silver as escort money for Su, the Chief of the Escort, with one thousand taels as a deposit. May I inquire as to what Su thinks about this arrangement?”

As he finished speaking, a panel appeared in front of Su Mo.

[Mission: Escort Wanxin Trading Company’s goods, to arrive at Five Directions Gathering.]

[Accept the mission?]

Su Mo didn’t rush to accept but glanced at Yang Xiaoyun who gave a slight nod. Only then did Su Mo take on the mission before smiling and saying:

“In that case, we’ll go by what the Store Manager says. But when do you plan to dispatch this batch of goods?”

“The sooner, the better.”

Hearing this, the Store Manager knew the deal was sealed and heaved a sigh of relief, smiling as he said, “Frankly, the Five Directions Gathering has been deprived of goods for a long time, and this batch will be of urgent service. If Su, the Chief of the Escort, completes this journey smoothly, all future deals on this route could be entrusted to you.”

“Hahaha, there could be nothing better.”

Su Mo gave a cupped fist salute, “Then I must first thank the Store Manager.”

“Why mention it?”

The Store Manager laughed: “This is mutually beneficial. I just don’t know when Su will have the time to depart on this trip?”

“Given the circumstances, we can’t delay any longer. Store Manager, allow me to return and make some preparations. We will set out early tomorrow morning… Also, I will leave some of our escort masters here beside the goods. Since I have taken on this deal, I will have to ask you for a favor.”

“This…”

The Store Manager hesitated but ultimately nodded in agreement.

He had never encountered such a situation when dealing with Heavenly Gate Escort Agency before, but each escort agency has its own rules. Su Mo’s request to leave guards was out of caution. After a short struggle, the Store Manager agreed.

Following the signing of the document and the payment of the deposit, the business deal was struck.

Su Mo called over Xiao Chuan, gave him a few instructions, and then took his leave with Yang Xiaoyun and the Store Manager.

On the way back to Ziyang Escort Agency, Yang Xiaoyun occasionally looked at Su Mo.

Su Mo felt uncomfortable under her gaze and subconsciously touched his face: “I know I look quite handsome, but is there a need to keep staring?”

“Virtue…”

Yang Xiaoyun rolled her eyes: “What are you thinking about this escort deal?”

“Well, it seems just right.”

Su Mo said: “There’s no interference of Luofeng Alliance, no entanglement with others—just a simple escort mission. Moreover, Wanxin Trading Company has their own Guard Team, so we don’t have to worry much about manpower. The only issue is how to interact with the Guard Team.

“But after all, it’s about who calls the shots. A simple and crude method is to convince with martial force.”

“What about other methods?”

“Other methods…”

Su Mo thought for a moment: “For the escort agency, establishing a long-term partnership with Wanxin Trading Company is naturally hugely beneficial. Just like what the Store Manager said, if this route goes well, future deals in this area could effortlessly go to us. That would mean a consistent income—why not? It’s just unexpected that the Store Manager would forsake a potential collaboration with Heavenly Gate Escort Agency outright.”

“Heavenly Gate Escort Agency once had some conflicts with the Heavenly Blade Sect; the Store Manager’s action is probably not a spur-of-the-moment decision.”

“No matter what, it’s a good thing for us.”

“Then why do I feel like you’re not that happy?”

Yang Xiaoyun pouted: “The escort agency is taking such a big step forward, shouldn’t you be overjoyed?”

“I am happy indeed, but there are also a few minor issues at hand.”

Su Mo continued: “Since this route was originally under Heavenly Gate Escort Agency, whether our reputation holds any sway is questionable. Hence, we need to be cautious in our choice of routes. If we can streamline the journey, we should do so as much as possible—to reduce trouble.

“Secondly, how shall we handle the inevitable troubles that can’t be avoided?

“The Store Manager mentioned some sort of dealings between Heavenly Gate Escort Agency and others. Could there be some trickery afoot?”

Yang Xiaoyun couldn’t help but laugh: “Of course, there must be. The mountain bandits take the lion’s share, and the escort agency picks up a bit, but either way, it’s Wanxin Trading Company paying the tab.”

“And as long as Wanxin Trading Company gets its goods delivered, they make the largest profit, so they don’t mind spending money to avoid trouble.

“So the question arises: Should we be upright and stamp out such practices, refusing to take any advantage from them, or should we go with the flow?”

Su Mo looked at Yang Xiaoyun.

Yang Xiaoyun was stunned: “Of course, we should follow the Chief’s arrangements.”

“Ah… thus the adage, ’profound knowledge is all learning, well-versed in human relations is all scholarship’. Pure waters bereft of fish, in this regard, we can only go with the flow… After all, if we are seen as too upright, it would be like a slap in the face to Heavenly Gate Escort Agency.

“On one hand, we’re taking their business and using their route, and if we also slap them soundly on the face,

“Said nicely, it’s being upright, but said badly, it’s being naive.

“Who wants to do business with someone naive?

“Even if the trading company can save some money over this, but if you offend people to such an extent, who knows when trouble will arise?

“When the time comes, they might not want to play with you anymore and then this great opportunity will go up in smoke.”

Su Mo said with a smile: “With so many issues at hand, do you see why I’m not that elated?”

“You’re wise beyond your years, young man. You should be excited.”

“Excited my ass…”

Su Mo replied: “How much do you know about this route? Once we return, provide me with as much information as possible regarding the people we need to be aware of. We might not cover everything, but at least we should have some understanding. We need to know who are the local powers wherever we go. As the strong dragon crosses into their territory, we’ll first treat them with courtesy, but if that fails, we’ll resort to fists.”

“Okay!”

Yang Xiaoyun agreed, then suddenly came to her senses: “Wait, weren’t we going to enjoy some drinks tonight?”
