I Can Contract Beauties-Chapter 245: Ironclad Mercenaries

Although his initial intention could now be realized, Miguel just thought of something that might still be able to save his efforts from going to waste.

The mercenaries that approached to befriend him look at each other as if confirming their decisions.

They each nodded their heads toward each other and the one in the middle said, "It doesn’t matter even if you’re not him. At this moment, we just lack a figure-head for our group. Without a leader, we can’t work well enough. If you’re indeed weak, then you can follow around us and gain experience first. If you have a grimoire, then it’s even better."

"All you need to do is command us to what is right. Of course, we would not blindly follow your lead. Just to remind you, we killed our previous leader for being incompetent. This is our rule. To tell you the truth, the previous leader we jointly killed was not the first. In fact, he was the sixth."

He stated straightforwardly as he looked at Sid.

"Well, if you’re not afraid of death, and you want to become the leader of our group, then you can accept our proposal to become our leader. If you’re incompetent, we can just kill you just like what we did to the previous one."

"What do you think, do you dare?" He said with a smirk.

Hearing his words and the situation of the group, Miguel could not help but laugh loudly.

"You’re in luck! It’s because-"

"I am him!"

As he said so, he even spread his arms wide in a haughty manner. This was an indirect response to how this group of mercenaries acted.

From the way they handled things, Miguel could tell that they were very arrogant and confident of their strength.

They only need a figure-head, and not an actual leader with strength?

They will kill their leader if the leader wasn’t competent enough?

There were clearly more than twenty of them, but still, none dared to become the leader, and they would instead choose to search blindly for the ’ugly warrior’ instead of becoming the leader themselves.

Afraid that they will die if the group deemed them as unworthy to be the leader and should be jointly killed.

This rule made it impossible for any of them to vie for the throne. Anyone who dares to become the leader should be confident of their wits and strength, else, they would just become the next target of the whole group.

Chaotic and barbaric, yet operated within a clear rule and discipline.

’This mercenary group, I like it!’

Hearing his words, the mercenaries looked at each other before nodding their head.

In truth, their intention was never to find the real person to begin with.

It has been some time since they had someone act as their leader and they still managed to get by due to the collective efforts of the whole group.

However, since a lot of ugly dudes had suddenly risen to prominence, they also decided to join in the fun and take an ugly dude as their boss. This was nothing more than a title to them anyway. The real decision maker was still not the leader, but instead, the collective decision of the whole group.

"Your courage alone is already commendable enough," the one in the middle stated.

Among the group, it has been him who has conversed with Miguel. His status in the group must be quite high, and if he decided to become the leader, Miguel guessed that no one would object.

"Since you’re our leader now, do you have some instructions for us?" he said.

"I indeed have something in mind. But first, introduce yourselves first and the abilities each of you have if you’re not against divulging it to me," Miguel stated as he walked to one corner.

He found a tall stone and jumped toward it with ease.

Sitting down, he looked down on the group from above and waited for them to speak.

Seeing his arrogant action, the mercenary group could not help but tilt their heads to the side.

Some were dissatisfied, but some were more or less impressed.

Anyone who could remain composed while being encircled by them should indeed have some abilities.

It seems that luck was on their side as they had truly fished the real ’him’ this time around.

The one in the middle chuckled and led everyone to introduce themselves and the current situation of the mercenary group.

The one in the middle was named Darius, an Advance Elite Summoner with a Bronze Grade grimoire. He was considered as the brain of the group, oftentimes, they would come to him for advice or opinions if they should do this or that.

In terms of strength, Darius can summon a Level 2 Bronze Grade Black Serpent. In terms of Warrior strength, it has a strength more or less equal to Beginner Adept Rank.

Darius was Lean and looked agile. He has sharp features and piercing gray eyes. His hair is dark and slicked back.

The next to introduce himself was Garrick. A towering man with a huge and chiseled physique. He has grayish hair and has a huge scar on his right shoulder which he proudly showed with his bare upper body.

He was a warrior with an Intermediate Adept Rank.

In terms of raw strength, he was considered as the strongest in the group.

Darius mentioned that if not for him being too hot-headed and always thinking with his muscles, Darius would have become the most suitable to become the leader of the group.

"I don’t want to become the leader!" Garrick snorted after he heard Darius’ remark.

A person that could die at any moment? Even if Garrick was dumb, he would not willingly put himself in danger.

He might be the strongest in terms of strength, but will his strength even matter if he got ganged up by the whole mercenary squad?

Miguel grew familiar with each of them the more they introduced themselves.

The Ironclad Mercenaries were also a famous mercenary group, not only in Blazing City but also in the whole Blazing Expanse.

They also had considerable strength, with most of them being at Warrior and Adept Rank, including their summoned beast like Darius had.

Aside from Darius, another three were summoners with considerable strength. There were also crystal summoners, but most of their contracted beasts were of the logistic types and were not suitable for battle.

After they introduced themselves, Miguel also introduced himself to them.

"Alright. You can call me Sid. I am indeed the person you guys were looking for. It was indeed I who defeated the Manger Mercenary group."

To show that he was not lying, Miguel used Shadow Step and arrived in front of Darius and Garrick in an instant.

All of the Ironclad Mercenaries’ eyes constricted in horror as they did not see what had happened. Some of them immediately drew out their weapons, as if they were afraid that a battle would commence.

Acting as Sid, Miguel only has one purpose and one purpose alone.

Search for a grimoire user and kill them to snatch their grimoire.

A menacing smile formed on his face. The hideous face of Sid became even more terrifying as he showed the unusual grin.

"As for my first order."

"Provoke enemies for me!"
