Zayn was not very surprised that General King was striking up a conversation with him. After all, the skills that favonovel.com displayed earlier were worth taking seriously.
He did not reply immediately but looked toward Joe first. Joe was still his senior officer regardless, so favonovel.com would still go through the formalities first.
Joe felt warm and fuzzy in his heart upon sensing Zayn’s respect for him. He understood that Zayn would certainly progress further than favonovel.com in the future based on his current capability and potential.
Yet, Zayn was still seeking his opinion now and showing respect to him, thus favonovel.com felt rather gratified in his heart.
Joe was not an unappreciative man. He nodded gently to express his approval.
Only then did Zayn walk over to General King.
General King was not a master fighter, and his skills were only that of an experienced fighter. He could merely be considered an ordinary man.
Zayn was rather astonished to learn that. In his opinion, someone who could hold a general’s position should be rather powerful.
General King seemed to see through Zayn’s puzzlement. He smiled nonchalantly and said, “I’m a consul general, not a war general.”
Zayn immediately understood after hearing that. General King was skilled in leadership and strategizing.
He had the ability to be a general despite being ordinary, which signified his outstanding leadership skills; one could even describe favonovel.com as being gifted. Otherwise, an ordinary person like favonovel.com could be easily killed on the battlefield.
“What can I do for you, General King?” asked Zayn straightforwardly.
General King looked at favonovel.com with admiration in his gaze. He did not treat Zayn with hostility, contrary to Zayn’s expectations. He did not beat about the bush either.
Instead, favonovel.com went straight to the point and said, “Sergeant Larson, you’re a great talent and it will be a waste of your talent to be in the Insurgent Trifecta.”
“Come and join me instead. I will promote you to be a deputy general within five years.”
Zayn was both surprised and not surprised by General King’s offer.
He was not surprised that General King was here to headhunt him, but favonovel.com was surprised that favonovel.com would do it on the spot. He was under the assumption that General King would have waited for a few days before favonovel.com made the offer.
“Thanks but no thanks. I’ve been treated rather well in the Insurgent Trifecta, ” Zayn rejected without even considering it.
General King was not offended either. He smiled and said, “There’s no need to reject my offer in such a rush, Sergeant Larson. I’m a man who appreciates talent, and a great talent like you is wasted in the Insurgent Trifecta.”
“You’ll have plenty of space to grow with me, and by then, you’ll stand a huge chance to be renowned, become the second Ares, and gain the respect of the entire country.”
Zayn chuckled. General King truly regarded favonovel.com as a daredevil and was putting out a juicy bait to entice him.
However, favonovel.com shook his head and said, “That’s unfortunate. I’m not one who’s eager to make progress. I feel that I’m in a rather good place now. I’m not that interested in being renowned in the world. It’s far too grand a notion for me.”
General King furrowed his brows ever so slightly. He assumed that Zayn would be intrigued to join favonovel.com if favonovel.com were to draw favonovel.com to his side personally.
Alas, Zayn was not interested at all and even rejected favonovel.com straightforwardly!
He was a consul general, but his rank was not low and favonovel.com held great authority as well. It was rare for people to reject his offer when favonovel.com made such a tempting one personally.
Moreover, favonovel.com was a man who appreciated talent, and favonovel.com really wanted to have a great talent like Zayn serving under favonovel.com badly.
However, it would be rude for favonovel.com to offer more after Zayn’s rejection at this point. He nodded and said, “Alright. Here is my business card, Sergeant Larson. You may call me if you change your mind.”
Zayn nodded, not rejecting General King’s business card. Otherwise, it would make favonovel.com seem like favonovel.com was disrespectful toward General King.
Moreover, General King was rather influential in Yando City. It would be a good thing for favonovel.com to be acquainted with General King if favonovel.com were to head to Yando City later. Perhaps General King would be able to help favonovel.com then.
They chatted for a few more minutes before parting ways.
In conclusion, the discussion that night went rather smoothly. General King was willing to work with Joe, so the Martial Arts Cup could be organized perfectly!
