Special Expert of Beauty CEO

Seeing the sinister expressions on Tie Laoda and his men's faces, Qin Tian knew this old guy was about to play a trick.

Just as Ou Yunfu had said, Tie Laoda was completely untrustworthy!

"I didn't bring any gold with me, so how can we trade without going back to get it?"

Qin Tian took a deep breath, calmed down, and said.

"Oh, never mind, you seeking a deal with me is one thing, now I want to make a deal with you."

Tie Laoda laughed, "This deal of mine is a win-win for us."

"What deal do you want with me?"

"My name, Tie Laoda, is known by all in the Plains Mountain. I am one of the three major forces in the Plains Mountain. However, while I am strong, I am still somewhat weaker than the Du family and the 'War God' immortality bandits."

"Heh, do you think I, Tie Laoda, will settle for being below others? Impossible!"

Tie Laoda clenched his teeth, "I want to be the boss of Plancs! I must be!"

"Right now, I happen to be short of people. Kid, I see that you have the potential for cultivation immortality. If you cultivate on your own without resources, it would be a waste. How about helping me?"

Tie Laoda stared at Qin Tian, "If you help me, you don't need to buy cultivation immortality resources from me. Every month, I'll give you a spirit stone as a reward, plus a salary of ten thousand taels of gold per month, how about it? Win-win, right? Let me tell you, by following me, you'll also meet many experts, which will be very helpful for your cultivation."

So after all, this Tie Laoda just wanted to recruit me!

Qin Tian smiled faintly in his heart, thinking it made sense that Tie Laoda, seeing his prowess at a young age, would want to recruit him to bolster his strength.

However, to join someone? To live under someone else's roof? And especially under someone sinister and cunning?

Qin Tian hadn't considered it; he smiled and remained silent.

"Kid, think it over, agree or refuse, it's all in a moment's decision; just like life and death, it's all in a moment's thought!"

The bald man saw Qin Tian wasn't speaking, and threatened.

"Haha, are you threatening me?" Qin Tian asked.

"So what if I am?" The bald man grinned, "Anyone who can't work for Tie Laoda is my enemy. If you refuse, well, then you're an enemy to everyone in this estate, and you know what consequences that brings?"

This bald man was very straightforward in his speech.

But this threat made Qin Tian think cautiously.

He understood his situation clearly; coming to Tie Laoda's estate was inherently risky, so he could only act according to circumstances!

"I can't fight them; this bald man alone is a middle-stage Qi Refinement expert, plus more than a dozen early-stage immortality cultivators outside, creating a Heaven and Earth Net—I can't escape at all..."

Qin Tian frowned, not knowing what to decide for a moment.

"Qin Tian, I cherish talent and that is why I am recruiting you. A wise bird chooses the tree it nests in, heh, you should understand this principle, right? I'll give you five seconds to decide. If in five seconds you don't agree to work for me, that would be most unfortunate."

Tie Laoda's last words were clearly a threat, but right now Qin Tian truly didn't dare to do anything against this guy. Including the bald man, there were at least two middle-stage Qi Refinement experts standing before Qin Tian! It wouldn't be a fair fight!

"One... two... three..."

Tie Laoda started counting after speaking, watching Qin Tian as he counted, "Four... five..."

"With Tie Laoda's appreciation, I, Qin Tian, am willing to offer my humble services!"

When Tie Laoda counted to the last number, Qin Tian made a decision at the last moment, opting to join Tie Laoda for now; it wouldn't hurt, and he could always act according to future opportunities.

"Haha, welcome, welcome, Qin Tian, you've made the wisest decision of your life, I, Tie Laoda, will definitely not treat you poorly."

Hearing Qin Tian's words, Tie Laoda laughed, and the bald man and another middle-aged man laughed as well.

"With your words, big boss, I feel relieved."

Since he was now under Tie Laoda, Qin Tian continued to speak politely.

However, at this moment, the sinister bald man stepped forward, and somehow, a bowl appeared in his hand, seemingly filled with wine.

"Brother Qin Tian, sorry about earlier, I was just trying to assist Tie Laoda in recruiting you. I hope you're not offended, haha, drink this bowl of wine as my apology, and from now on, let's all work together to conquer the world for Tie Laoda!"

The bald man said, presenting the wine to Qin Tian.

Qin Tian's originally fake smile froze instantly.

He had thought joining Tie Laoda wouldn't cost him a pound of flesh, but it seemed he had underestimated the situation.

Qin Tian's gaze fixed on the wine in the bowl, smiling faintly.

There was no doubt, this wouldn't be an ordinary bowl of wine, the bald man must have tampered with it.

Clearly, this wasn't the bald man acting on his own; it was likely under Tie Laoda's instructions.

In the past, when Qin Tian was undercover in some gangs, he had encountered such situations. When joining, you would be made to drink a bowl of wine, and in the wine, there was poison!

The antidote to the poison was held only by the gang leader or big boss, and the purpose of this was naturally to better control the subordinates.

In the past, when Qin Tian infiltrated those gangs, he was always prepared, having antidotes ready in advance.

But now, Qin Tian was completely unprepared!

Moreover, the poison the bald man used could not be the normal poison used by street thugs; it must be deadly poison that requires regular antidotes to survive!

What to do?

Facing the bowl of wine presented by the bald man, Qin Tian was taken aback.

To drink or not to drink?

If he drank it, his life would likely be in Tie Laoda's hands from then on.

If he didn't drink, he had no way of escaping Tie Laoda's Heaven and Earth Net at the estate right now!

"What's the matter, Qin Tian, aren't you going to give face to Cai Lao Jiu's apology wine?" Seeing Qin Tian not take the wine from Cai Lao Jiu's hand, Tie Laoda squinted his eyes.

Qin Tian straightforwardly said, "Big boss, this bowl of wine isn't just about Cai Lao apologizing to me, is it?"

Qin Tian spoke directly, his gaze equally direct, staring straight at Tie Laoda.

Tie Laoda was stunned for a moment, not expecting Qin Tian to see through his intentions, but he then laughed heartily, "Hahaha, kid, your intelligence isn't low!"

"Yes, Cai Lao Jiu put a little something in this bowl of wine; it's hardly poison though. This stuff isn't too toxic, and I have the antidote. As long as you regularly come to me for the antidote after drinking it, there'll be absolutely no problem. Haha!"

"Big boss, you really put a lot of thought into this!"

Qin Tian smiled bitterly.

"Hahaha, this is just a test of your loyalty, Qin Tian. Unless you're not loyal to me, otherwise, drinking this bowl of wine won't cause any issues. What's wrong, Qin Tian, do you harbor other thoughts against me?"

Saying this, Tie Laoda signaled Cai Lao Jiu, who understood and directly brought the bowl of wine to Qin Tian's mouth, "Brother Qin Tian, please!"
