Treasure-hunting: Into the Unknown
Chapter 527 The Beast Barn
"Harley, I have arranged a residence for you. I know you should enjoy a quiet life, so I hope you will be satisfied with it," Jaxon told Zachary eagerly.
"That's very kind of you, Master Jaxon. I'm not a picky person, so you don't have to worry too much. I just need a place to live. But can you get two maids to help me? I can sleep with them so that I won't be too lonely at night."
Jaxon and the others were stunned at Zachary's direct request.
Still, Jaxon agreed. After all, for someone with his power, it was a piece of cake to arrange any number of maids. "That's no problem at all, Harley."
"Now, let's get down to business. What kind of job do you plan to assign me? As I told you earlier, I am not picky. As long as I have authority over hundreds of disciples, and I could get some benefits, that will be enough." Jaxon and the others gawked at Zachary's bluntness.
They exchanged subtle glances with each other, unsure about what to do.
"Well..." Jaxon trailed off in hesitation. Since Zachary was new in the clan and wasn't familiar with the clan yet, he didn't intend to give him a position. On top of that, the Xiao Clan had many talented warriors, so almost all the positions were filled. That made it even more difficult for him to arrange a position for Zachary.
"Master Jaxon, Harley just arrived here. Isn't it too early to give him a position?" objected Jarrod. He had a stern frown on his face, but his voice was still light and respectful.
"Elder Jarrod, do you think that I am not qualified? During the meeting, Master Jaxon said he would arrange a position for me as soon as I join," Zachary argued strongly, which made Jarrod turn to look at him.
The two men stared at each other, tension palpable to everyone present.
"Indeed, but there seems to be no vacancy at present..." Jaxon's voice interrupted their little stare-off.
"Actually, Father, there is a vacancy," Anthony said. He had been quiet for a while now, but the topic seemed to interest him, so he started talking. His eyes were gleaming strangely, as he waited for them to ask for clarificat
sed us so much," said Anthony.
"Really? You'd better keep an eye on him then," Jaxon answered as he nodded in agreement.
Meanwhile, Zachary and Jimmy had followed the two disciples to the arranged place, but when they arrived at the place, Zachary was astounded. It was where he had met that woman.
'It's here! What a coincidence! I wonder if that woman also lives here, ' Zachary pondered, as his heart thudded excitedly.
"Is there a female warrior living here?" Zachary then asked one of the disciples.
"What? Nobody has lived here for a long time," the disciple responded at once. He looked at Zachary strangely, as if he had just asked something weird.
"No one? That's so weird. I just..." Zachary trailed off. He was a little surprised, but he immediately pretended to be unsatisfied. "If no one lives in that house, that means this is an abandoned place. Master Jaxon arranged something like this?"
The other disciple immediately glared at his fellow disciple. Then he hurriedly explained, "Although nobody has lived here for a long time, this house is cleaned every day, because it was where Master Jaxon's late wife lived. After her death a few years ago, no one has lived here. This house was supposed to be demolished, but Master Jaxon decided to keep it. It also shows how much Master Jaxon values you. Otherwise, he wouldn't have let you live in such a memorable place."
"That's very kind of you, Master Jaxon. I'm not a picky person, so you don't have to worry too much. I just need a place to live. But can you get two maids to help me? I can sleep with them so that I won't be too lonely at night."
