The legendary warrior novel Chapter 96

The way to the cave was hidden and winding, and it took them nearly an hour just to get into its depths No wonder, though. After all, this was where all the inferior branch's prized possessions were kept.

At the end of the tunnel, they finally came upon a cavern.

In it gleamed a pile of silver and copper coins, at least a hundred thousand of them.

In addition to the money, there were exquisite weapons, Spiritual Energy Nourishing Pills, and Anti-toxin Pills. On the other side there were some Treasures from Heaven and Earth, but nothing rare or special.

"Subchief, these are all our treasures, and others have been handed over to our superior branches!" One of the warriors explained cautiously.

As a group of warriors at the Blood Purification state, it was rather pathetic to boast such a small number of treasures.

"Looks like you haven't had the best of times in the Bloody Gang!" Ricky said dryly.

"Indeed, subchief. But it's better than being wandering warriors. There is a place to live at least, and we don't have to worry about being bullied by other forces whom we encounter by chance!" another warrior replied.

Ricky nodded slightly, looking around at the cavern.

"Give me a third of those silver coins, and the rest is yours!" Ricky said, his brow arched.

In disbelief, the warriors looked at each other to see if they had heard him wrong.

"What? You don't want them?" Ricky asked again, a hint of a smile at the corners of his mouth.

"Subchief, are you serious about giving them to us?" a warrior mustered the courage to ask, his voice trembling.

"Just do what I say. You are behaving like women!" Ricky said contemptuously.

With that, several bold warriors took the lead to stuff their pockets with silver coins and Spiritual Energy Nourishing Pills.

Ricky said nothing, only nodding slightly. The first few warriors who had taken the lead bowed deeply to him as they returned.

Upon confirming Ricky's sincerity, the remaining warriors swarmed the pile of loot without hesitation. They divided up the treasures neatly and quickly, leaving Ricky exactly a third of the silver coins.

"That's right. I mean what I say, and I don't go back on my word," Ricky said, pleased at their efficiency.

"Thank you, subchief!" "Thank you, subchief!" The warriors shouted their appreciation, their voices echoing in the chamber.

Because of this, they gained respect for their strange new subchief. It was not just fear that was inspiring them to follow him.

Ricky nodded with satisfaction as could tell that the members had began to yield to him. That was exactly what he wanted.

There was no such thing as a free lunch.

Ricky knew that if he wanted these warriors to listen to him, he had to show them the benefits of doing so, aside from keeping their lives, of course.

"By the way, subchief, may we know your name?" said one warrior, his arms loaded with treasure.

"My name is Bill. But I expect to be adressed only as your subchief!" Ricky answered.

"Yes, subchief!"

Although his tone seemed slightly strange to them, the warriors brushed this away and nodded slightly.

…

Later, Ricky ordered several warriors to hunt a few sweet-meated fierce beasts, and sent others to buy good wine from the Stone City. Ricky then held a feast with these warriors, who were warming up more and more to their generous new subchief.
