Chapter 10: Recruitment

Dark Small Medium Large Original Scroll to Bottom

"What consequences?" Xu Shaofeng wore a wicked smile; as a reincarnation and the king of the assassin world, no one had ever dared to threaten him.

Xu Shaofeng did not utter a single word, merely gazing at Pang Dun and several others.

The man, who was extraordinarily ugly and had two black moles on his face, was named Wu Bing. He looked at Xu Shaofeng coldly and said, "You are Xu Shaofeng?"

Wu Bing's expression did not change at all. He looked at Xu Shaofeng and said, "Kid, you have some skills. Are you interested in coming to work for me? Who knows, I might promote you a bit, and you could become a shining new star in the underworld of Huaxi City."

"As you wish." Xu Shaofeng casually pushed with his left hand, and the chubby fellow stumbled back five steps before plopping down on the ground, struggling several times but unable to get back up

"Not interested. If there is nothing else, you may leave." Xu Shaofeng did not even glance at Wu Bing, turning around and directly walking back to his seat

Haha... Xu Shaofeng's pretentiousness made Wu Bing burst into laughter, and he immediately said: "I heard you are quite arrogant, even daring to refuse our sister-in-law's invitation? Moreover, you even dared to upset our sister-in-law. Do you know how serious the consequences could be?"

"Fatty, let's give him a good beating first." Wu Bing chuckled, "Kid, I hope you won't let me down."

Surely, something significant must have occurred; otherwise, how could a profit-driven businessman be willing to pay such a high price to have Xu Shaofeng protect Lin Yu? However, Lin Qiang did not disclose what the matter was, and Xu Shaofeng did not inquire further. He was well aware of his own position; he was merely a humble bodyguard, responsible solely for ensuring the safety of his employer.

"Sister-in-law? Who is your sister-in-law?" Xu Shaofeng looked at Wu Bing with some exasperation, as he had mostly guessed that the sister-in-law Wu Bing referred to was Lin Yu. It seemed that this kid was merely a subordinate of one of the two dragons.

Xu Shaofeng had already known the moment Fat Dun walked into the classroom, but he did not move, allowing Fat Dun to act as he wished. He gently stood up with a slight turn, while Fat Dun's hand still grasped his clothing. Xu Shaofeng followed Fat Dun and arrived at the classroom door.

"Remember what I just said, keep your distance from Lin Yu, otherwise the consequences will be severe. If you want to come to me for matters, find me in Class 8 of the third year. My name is Wu Bing; you can ask anyone and they will know me." After Wu Bing finished speaking, he waved his hand and said, 'Let's go.' The few people behind him then helped the chubby figure on the ground to get up and left.

It turns out that Xu Shaofeng took on the bodyguard task for Lin Qiang to protect Lin Yu until the end of the college entrance examination. He is responsible for all safety issues concerning Lin Yu during this period, and upon completion of the task, he will receive a reward of 30 million RMB

Wu Bing cast a disdainful glance at Xu Shaofeng, finding him utterly uninteresting. "My name is Wu Bing. My elder brother, Wu Long, has sent me to warn you to keep your distance from Lin Yu in the future, and do not provoke Lin Yu's anger. Otherwise, the consequences will be very serious"

The chubby figure spoke no unnecessary words, and as he walked, the flesh on his body quivered and jiggled. He swung his right fist towards Xu Shaofeng's head, but due to his less-than-satisfactory height, the punch could only land on Xu Shaofeng's chest.

Wu Bing, who had been full of confidence earlier, was taken aback. Although Pang Dun was not his most capable subordinate, he still had some strength. Now, he had been easily dealt with by Xu Shaofeng. Wu Bing was momentarily stunned, then a cold smile appeared on his face: This kid is somewhat interesting

If others were to learn of Xu Shaofeng's thoughts, they would likely sigh in despair. Most people, upon realizing that their opponent is the Shuanglong of Huaxi City, would have already been contemplating how to escape. Yet he dares to say that he will not take the initiative to seek trouble with them? Isn't that akin to growing feathers on his courage?

Fat Dun walked into the classroom and went straight to Xu Shaofeng's side, not even greeting him. He grabbed Xu Shaofeng's clothes and dragged him directly outside.

Xu Shaofeng feigned a look of confusion as he stared at Wu Bing: "It's me. What do you want from me?"

Wu Bing smiled. Those who are truly capable have their own dignity. If a *book* were to follow whatever one casually says, would that still be considered a master? If that were the case, then Xu Shaofeng would not even qualify to be recruited by Wu Bing.

The brutal and ruthless methods are evident.

Xu Shaofeng's left hand grasped the fist of Fat Dun with a firm grip. Fat Dun exerted all his strength in an attempt to move his fist either forward or backward, but he was unsuccessful. As Xu Shaofeng gradually applied more force, beads of sweat began to stream down Fat Dun's forehead in large drops

Xu Shaofeng certainly understands that obtaining this 30 million remuneration is by no means simple. If nothing happens over the course of three months, wouldn't it be too easy to earn this 30 million?

Xu Shaofeng returned to his seat, and this time he did not lay his head on the table to sleep. With a smile on his face, he murmured to himself: "This is quite interesting; even a subordinate has this level of thoughtfulness. It's really not bad. I just wonder how Wu Long is doing."

If he did not have a task, he would not need to seek out Ouyang Xue, his long-established fiancée. Perhaps he would genuinely want to develop well in Huaxi City. However, with a task at hand, he does not wish to create unnecessary complications. If Wu Long and Zhang Long no longer come to trouble him, he will not proactively seek trouble with them either

"Three months, after waiting for seven years, what do these three months count for?" Xu Shaofeng's face suddenly revealed a hint of a smile, not a charming smile, but a very innocent one, a smile most easily seen on a child's face

Of course, thirty million is not something he cares about; what he values is the old man's use of organizational resources to search for Ouyang Xue. Otherwise, even three hundred million would not interest him

Xu Shaofeng's eyes narrowed slightly, his left hand slowly opened its five fingers, and he directly reached for Fat Dun's fist. With a loud bang, Fat Dun's body came to a halt, while Xu Shaofeng stood in place without even a tremor.

"Let go of me." Pang Dun felt that if this continued, his right hand would surely be ruined, and he quickly scolded.

Wu Bing noticed that Xu Shaofeng suddenly changed his expression and his tone became more assertive, which immediately piqued his interest. He had dealt with too many weaklings, and Xu Shaofeng's attitude intrigued him.
