17: Chapter 17: KO 17: Chapter 17: KO Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Lara Tuff’s chest heaved violently, her playful deanor now replaced with an icy coldness, and fire sparked in her eyes as if ready to commit murder.
At the sa ti, she finally understood why Ruth Wilcox blushed when she ntioned Yusuf Zuck before—it turned out this little security guard was a little ruffian.
“Yusuf Zuck, get out!” Ruth Wilcox said angrily.
“No need, let him co in.
Leo King, you co in too!” Lara’s eyes flashed fiercely.
Leo King seed to be two centiters taller than Yusuf Zuck, and he appeared stockier as well.
While Yusuf Zuck was still lingering at the doorway, Leo King pushed the door wide open and slipped in.
“Ahem, ahem, Ms.
Wilcox, here are your car keys, and that… that lady, this is the remaining money.” Yusuf Zuck took out the eighteen thousand from his pocket, having spent twelve thousand on the car repair—the service at that 4S shop was not only expensive, but the labor fees were even more so.
Lara Tuff let out a light chuckle, “No need for that, keep the rest as your dical expenses.”
“dical expenses?
What dical expenses?” Yusuf Zuck asked, puzzled.
“Yusuf Zuck, here’s the thing, I am looking for you…” Ruth Wilcox started to speak when Lara Tuff imdiately interrupted, “Ms.
Wilcox heard you are good at driving, quite clever, and also the best fighter in the security departnt, so she’s planning to make you her personal driver and bodyguard.
As you know, there was a bombing at your company yesterday, and last night Ms.
Wilcox was attacked too.
Having a bodyguard could provide so extra safety.”
“How about it, are you interested in being Ms.
Wilcox’s driver and bodyguard?” Lara asked with a faint smile, seemingly forgetting Yusuf Zuck’s earlier disrespect towards her.
“I am interested, sure, but Ms.
Wilcox, how much is the salary?” Yusuf Zuck, the money-grubber, lit up at the prospect!
Hearing Yusuf Zuck’s question, Ruth Wilcox couldn’t help but feel speechless.
The guy hadn’t even started the job and was already talking about money.
Lara’s smile turned mischievous.
She had actually set a trap for Yusuf Zuck to fall into, and he had walked right into it.
So, snatching the opportunity, she said, “As for the salary, of course it won’t be small.
I give Leo King thirty thousand a month, naturally, because he’s professional and top-notch.
As for you, if you can last ten rounds against him, you’ll get eight thousand; twenty rounds, fifteen thousand; one hundred rounds, and you’ll get twenty-five thousand.
I call the shots.
What do you say, do you want to give it a try?”
“That much?
What if I KO him?
How much then?” Yusuf Zuck’s heart nearly leapt out of his chest.
Was being a bodyguard so lucrative?
Thirty thousand a month—that was ten months’ salary for him!
If he could do it for a year, that would be three hundred and sixty thousand!
Three hundred and sixty thousand…
Stars filled Yusuf Zuck’s eyes as he envisioned his future.
“KO him?
Haha.” Lara Tuff burst into laughter upon hearing Yusuf Zuck’s words.
What a joke—Leo King was a professional; she had personally seen him take down ten n, all knocked out by Leo King in the end.
So, she found this lecherous little security guard especially ludicrous.
“If you can KO him, I’ll take charge and give you sixty thousand a month, an annual salary of seven hundred and twenty thousand, plus a year-end bonus!” Lara Tuff announced loudly.
“Ms.
Wilcox, for real?
No take-backs?” Yusuf Zuck looked at Ruth Wilcox for confirmation, since he would be her bodyguard after all, so her word was final.
“No way, how much is my annual salary?
Mia, stop causing trouble,” Ruth Wilcox glared at Lara Tuff.
Her own annual salary was only a few million at most, and although it was a Clan-owned enterprise where she was paid an annual salary, she did receive dividends from the family at the end of the year.
She also held shares in the Clan in other areas.
“I’m not kidding.
If he can KO Leo King, I’ll pay his salary.
It’s just seventy-two thousand for a year.
To her highness here, it’s rely the cost of one handbag.
So, do you dare to spar with Leo King?
I’m really looking forward to seeing you KO him,” Lara Tuff encouraged with a wicked smile.
She absolutely didn’t believe anyone could KO Leo King.
“Of course, Leo King might hit a bit hard, so the money you were left last night, let’s consider it as the dical expenses for after you’ve been knocked down,” Lara added.
Yusuf Zuck scratched his chin: “I get it now, lady, this is revenge, isn’t it?
I really didn’t see anything just now!”
“It doesn’t matter if you’ve seen it or not.
Just tell if you want to be the bodyguard?”
Yusuf Zuck nodded vigorously: “Of course, I want to be the bodyguard.
Survive ten moves and get an eight thousand a month salary, right?
Why wouldn’t I take the job?
Moreover, protecting Ms.
Wilcox’s safety is a heavy responsibility sitting squarely on my shoulders.”
Ruth Wilcox rolled her eyes at Yusuf Zuck’s remarks, utterly speechless.
At a ti like this, Yusuf Zuck still had the nerve to joke around; he’d soon regret it once the beating started.
“Alright then, let’s get started.
Leo King, give him a fierce beating and knock all his front teeth out!” Lara Tuff suddenly stood up.
A re security guard had the audacity to boldly peek under her skirt; without a lesson, he would never learn his place in the world!
As a beauty such as herself, she wasn’t soone just anyone could defile, and the price of defilent would surely be bloody!
“Whoosh—” Leo King was professional and faithfully executed every command of his queen.
Knocking out this security guard’s teeth?
That’s too easy.
Daring to defile his master, his queen?
Then he must also break a few of his ribs and at the very least make him spend three to five months in the hospital.
Leo King was extrely fast, almost as quick as Benedict Cooke.
The mont he shot forward, it was like an arrow released from a bow, so fast it dazzled the eyes.
However, Yusuf Zuck estimated that Leo King and Benedict Cooke weren’t much different.
“Yusuf, be careful.” The beautiful CEO was still more on Yusuf’s side.
She had also secretly decided that if Yusuf was overpowered, she would rush over to stop it.
“Bang”—just as Ruth Wilcox was shouting for Yusuf to be careful, a muffled sound suddenly ca, and imdiately afterward, Leo King’s entire body went ‘thud’ and smashed into the ground, motionless.
His face swelled up in an instant, and blood was spurting from his nose.
“Uh…”
“Uh…”
Ruth Wilcox was stunned, and Lara Tuff’s eyes were almost popping out.
Yusuf, flicking his hand, chuckled, “KO’d, right?
This is your professional bodyguard?
Co on, beauty, can’t you stop joking?
Even with this sissy, can you really protect soone?
And you’re paying him thirty thousand a month?”
“Impossible, this can’t be happening, it can’t be…” Lara Tuff shook her head in disbelief.
Could it be that Leo King, who could fight ten n, was actually KO’d by a little security guard?
Knocked down with one punch, immobile, bleeding from nose and mouth?
“Ah…
Yusuf, is he alright, is he alright?” It was then that Ruth Wilcox panicked.
Wasn’t Yusuf’s punch too hard?
Leo King lay on the ground without moving, looking as though he might be dead.
“It’s fine, he’ll wake up in a bit.
But, beauty, does what you just said still count?” Yusuf said with pride.
“Useless, useless!
Leo King, get up, get up!” Lara Tuff was shaking with anger.
Her supposedly proud bodyguard, Leo King, was KO’d by soone?
As if this little security guard had given her a slap across the face!
“Wake up call, is it?
Let do it.” Yusuf strode over to the water cooler, filled a cup with cold water, and splashed it over Leo King’s face.
With a jerk, Leo King woke up, shaking his head non-stop, still in a daze.
“Want to go another round, get KO’d again, should I play it back for you?” Yusuf said with a devilish grin.
“Shh—” Ruth Wilcox and Lara Tuff both sucked in a breath of cold air simultaneously.
Lara Tuff gave Yusuf a dazed look before grabbing her purse and leaving: “I’ll wire the 720,000 to Ms.
Wilcox’s company account as one year’s salary, but wait for , this isn’t over.” She walked quickly past Yusuf, bringing with her a gust of perfu, while Leo King also gave Yusuf a wolfish glance before following after her briskly.
Ruth Wilcox didn’t call after Lara Tuff because she knew Mia the best.
She knew her temperant and her love for face-saving, so forcing her to stay would only make it harder for her to step down.
“How did you do that?” Once Lara Tuff and Leo King had left, Ruth Wilcox looked at Yusuf with a face full of wonder.
Their company had been hiding such a master?
“That Leo King is such a pansy, beating him was like playing a ga.
But Ms.
Wilcox, are you really going to pay sixty thousand a month?” Yusuf was a bit incredulous.
Who ever heard of a bodyguard making sixty thousand a month!
Ruth Wilcox waved her hand dismissively: “Mia isn’t short on money, and she never goes back on her word.
Just the purse she was carrying today is worth over a hundred and twenty thousand, and sotis she buys three in a month…”
Hearing Ruth Wilcox’s words, Yusuf clicked his tongue in amazent.
Rich people are truly whimsical as hell.
“Alright, have a seat.
Let’s discuss you becoming my bodyguard,” Ruth Wilcox said, finally starting a formal conversation with Yusuf.
