"My na is Xue Gui. I served in the War Departnt for eight years and have been a security guard ever since."
The lean man stood ramrod straight, his hands hanging naturally at his sides. His sharp, piercing eyes looked toward Jiang Xinghai.
"An eight-year veteran. Not bad."
Xue Gui had left a deep impression on Jiang Xinghai. He then looked at the others. "Are there any other brothers here from the War Departnt?"
"I served for three years!"
"Two years for !"
"Five years!"
" too!"
Including Kong Ao and Xue Gui, there were six veterans in total.
"Will the six veterans please step forward!"
Jiang Xinghai suddenly dropped his cigarette butt, his eyes glowing with intensity.
The six veterans had a tacit understanding, lining up in a single file according to height.
"Those who have trained in Sanda or kickboxing, step forward!" Jiang Xinghai said again.
This ti, five n stepped forward.
Jiang Xinghai scrutinized the eleven n one by one. Each of them had the aura of a Martial Artist.
And the lean Xue Gui was the strongest of them all—a Ninth-Order Martial Artist.
The rest were mostly between the Third and Fifth Layer.
"What about the rest of you? Have any of you stepped onto the path of Martial Arts?" Jiang Xinghai turned to the other twenty-odd n.
The n shook their heads in embarrassnt.
"No matter. Even if you haven't entered the path of Martial Arts, I won't look at you any differently. Everyone will have a chance." Jiang Xinghai gave a harmless-looking smile.
The crowd's mood instantly relaxed.
Jiang Xinghai's gaze suddenly fell on Xue Gui. "You. Step forward. Let's have a friendly spar."
"Minister Jiang, my skills are weak. I can't even beat Pan Baoshun, who got fired. I won't humiliate myself." Xue Gui shook his head, feigning an understanding of his own limits.
Perhaps, besides Jiang Xinghai, no one knew he was actually the strongest one in the crowd.
Since joining the security team, he had only ever revealed the strength of a First-Order Martial Artist.
It seed he was intentionally hiding his true identity.
"Minister Jiang, Kong Ao here. I'd like to spar with you."
Just then, the mid-shift supervisor, Kong Ao, stepped forward and stood before Jiang Xinghai.
His strength was second only to Pan Baoshun's.
"How about this. Except for Xue Gui, the ten of you who are on the path of Martial Arts can attack all at once. Co on."
Jiang Xinghai took a few steps back and beckoned to them with his hand.
Hearing this, the n stood frozen in a stupor.
'One against many?'
'Where did this new Head of the Security Departnt get so much confidence?'
'He shouldn't think he can ignore us just because he knocked down Pan Baoshun.'
"Minister Jiang, let's just stick to one-on-one. It's more fair," Kong Ao said with a smile.
"A one-on-one is a true test of skill. If all of us attack you at once, it would be a dishonorable victory."
"Minister Jiang, there's really no need to spar at all."
"The position of Security Minister has been vacant for over half a year. President Shen personally appointed you, Minister Jiang. We know our place; we wouldn't dare lay a hand on you."
"Let's just forget about it."
The veterans and the guards trained in kickboxing all showed wry smiles one after another.
'Are you kidding ?!'
'How could they dare to use their full strength?'
'What if they actually hurt Jiang Xinghai?'
'President Shen would definitely fly into a rage and fire the whole lot of them.'
'A monthly salary of almost ten thousand… a high-paying job like this is hard to find.'
'What a pain,'
Jiang Xinghai couldn't help but furrow his brow. "Fine. How about this? Anyone who can beat , I'll give them my position as Head of the Security Departnt. Is that acceptable?"
"Really?" Kong Ao was the first to ask in astonishnt.
The others also grew excited one by one.
"Liu Jing, take out your phone, open the video cara, and point it at ."
Jiang Xinghai turned his head and called over Liu Jing, who was standing at the very back. "This will serve as a witness. Hurry up."
"You got it!" Liu Jing was overjoyed to hear this.
"I, Jiang Xinghai, wish to spar with them. If I lose, I will voluntarily step down from the position of Head of the Security Departnt. Whoever deals the final blow to defeat will take this position. I guarantee I will convince President Shen. If I can't convince him, I will give the winner a reward of one hundred thousand." Jiang Xinghai made this promise to Liu Jing's phone.
"Alright!"
"Minister Jiang has guts!"
"Minister Jiang is a man of his word! We are all witnesses!"
Instantly, the security guards all broke into confident smiles.
Jiang Xinghai smiled as well.
'Great rewards truly do bring out brave n!'
'Just as I expected!'
Liu Jing, the one recording with his phone, smiled even more happily.
'The video of him promising to livestream himself eating shit is on Jiang Xinghai's phone!'
'Now, I have a video of Jiang Xinghai making an outlandish promise. With this, I can feel much more at ease.'
"Minister Jiang, we want to participate too."
At this mont, Lei Hao, who had a dark complexion, took a step forward.
"Yeah, we want in too."
"And ."
"Count in."
Soon, everyone on site, except for Liu Jing and the lean Xue Gui, wanted to join in.
"In that case... bring it on."
Jiang Xinghai even casually placed his left hand behind his back.
This gesture thoroughly ignited the fighting spirit of the security guards present.
'He's going to fight nearly thirty of us with one hand?'
"Brothers, get him!"
"Just as Minister Jiang wished! Charge!"
"ROAR..."
