Chapter One: The Benevolent Devil

The vice principal's words had not yet concluded when they were interrupted by the cheers and screams of the students in the audience, who had finally confirmed the identity of the young person.

The young man on stage, who appears somewhat shy, is the legendary hero who once personally escorted drugs, was captured three times by rebel forces and guerrillas, and even bears seven bullet holes as a result

Ling Tian used the excuse of needing to check the arrival date of a batch of analgesics at customs to finally escape the enthusiastic encirclement of the aspiring nurses. After signing autographs for over a hundred female nurses, he got into his modest sedan. Noticing that his suit was in tatters, he couldn't help but exclaim inwardly: "African girls are truly passionate!"

Jemba also chimed in, "Indeed, I have witnessed Vivian's methods. Oh, five tall and burly thugs were taken down by her in an instant; it was so swift that I could hardly see what happened. Just thinking about it sends chills down my spine!"

Among the aspiring youth of Africa, who has not vowed to become such a hero

Jemba was sweating profusely, looking at Ling Tian with admiration: "Boss, you are truly a genius"

The young man's name is Ling Tian, he grew up in Ukraine, dragon's blood flows within him, and he holds passports from seventeen countries

Thud

A chorus of admiration erupted from the audience, and the female student was in tears.

The young Chinese man, referred to as the boss, has a seemingly innocent doll-like face, with a hint of a smile at the corners of his mouth that creates a shallow dimple on his left cheek. Only the sunglasses perched on the bridge of his nose reveal a slight touch of maturity. He exudes a bright and gentle aura, and if it weren't for the purple crystal skull he is toying with in his left hand, one might easily mistake him for a newly graduated priest from a seminary.

The future nurses quickly took notes, and many students took out their cameras to capture photos of this kind-hearted individual from the East. After the meeting, these photos were snapped up at a price of fifty dollars each, and all the students with cameras made a small fortune.

After two hours of gathering, the ceremony officially concluded, and the atmosphere reached its peak, almost lifting the ceiling of the hall.

"No—" Ling Tian said in surprise, "My kind-hearted Jemba, how could you have such a foolish thought? For the sake of our conscience, let's double the price of the goods they want; after all, these people have no other options now"

At this moment, Jemba, the largest arms dealer in South Africa, humbly and respectfully poured a glass of red wine and handed it to another person in the car, a young Chinese individual

Today, the little girl took the opportunity of protecting Ling Tian to insist on coming along to see something new. Ling Tian has always doted on this little girl, so he had no choice but to bring her along.

Vivian smiled cheerfully as she linked her arm with Ling Tian's, pretending to be angry and said: "Boss, why are you walking so fast? You didn't wait for me? Be careful, or the man-eating monster might devour you!"

Jemba looked at him innocently, shaking his head and saying: "It's all just old stories, sigh... I never expected the boss would still remember, it truly touches Jemba's heart..."

Ling Tian savored the blood-red wine and said softly, "Jemba, oh Jemba, has a bottle of red wine bought you off? What about our principles? Have you forgotten what the boss told you? Yes, we are arms dealers, but we are conscientious arms dealers—when you sell landmines to the Ivorian guerrillas, it is to help them resist the government's tyranny; when you sell rifles to the Ivorian government forces, it is to help them eliminate the guerrillas and restore peace to the region; when you sell rocket launchers to the Somalis and anti-tank guns to the Liberians, it is all to grant them the right to survive. If a person wishes to uphold the right to survive, then God will also help him. If a person wishes to uphold the right to survive, then God will also help him. But the E-Lian are different; do you know what kind of people they are?"

In this country, no, throughout Africa, who does not know the name Ling Tian

Ling Tian glared at him fiercely: "Quickly put it away, do you think this is your home? If there are any experts from the Church nearby, you will be doomed!"

Today, Ling Tian accepted the invitation from the Johannesburg Church Nursing School to receive the honor of guest lecturer

Wuwu, next time I will definitely go with the boss to deliver the goods, I will not allow the boss to suffer any harm again

He murmured: "What is there to say about myself? Anyone in this position, seeing those children tormented by war and disease, seeing the suffering in their eyes, would surely do the same as I do, using all their strength to help them! I am merely fulfilling my duty as a human being. As long as the bullets do not take this humble life away, I will continue to carry out my responsibilities!"

Jembali immediately flattered with a smile: "Boss, you speak so well, hehe, if you want to sleep with those female nurses now, I’m afraid out of two hundred, one hundred and eighty would be willing! These white girls from the church schools are just a bit prettier than our black girls."

Ah!

Jemba, who was drinking tea, heard this and sprayed water all over himself, coughing violently, his dark face turning bright red. Seeing all the girls staring at him with admiration, he became flustered, unable to sit still, and could only awkwardly smile.

The locations serviced by his transportation company are surprisingly mostly in the world's most chaotic regions, which even United Nations relief organizations dare not enter. It is important to note that the United Nations relief organizations are protected by formidable firepower

Ling Tian's voice was somewhat choked: "The young man smiled and replied to me that everything he did was insignificant to the entire school of fish, but for each individual fish that ultimately survived, it meant everything. In the final moments of his life, he found solace in being able to save some lives, and his spirit was profoundly at peace"

Sitting in the vehicle is Jemba, a significant arms smuggler from South Africa. This small-statured black man, resembling a python, controls the entire arms supply for three guerrilla groups and provides weapons to the governments of two small countries. Furthermore, it is said that he has connections with several terrorist organizations

Ling Tian clutched his chest: "Classmates, you may find it hard to imagine the shock I experienced at that moment. I believe it was God who provided me with inspiration through this young man. Yes, perhaps I cannot save everyone, but at the very least, I can prevent some children from crying out in pain and spare some mothers from weeping over the loss of their children. That is what I aim to do! Later, I lifted this dying young man into the vehicle and provided him with treatment, and miraculously, he survived. This further solidified my ideals, and from that point on, I worked alongside this young man for the sake of those suffering children.

This further solidified my ideals, and from that point on, I worked alongside this young man for the sake of those suffering children. That young man is my assistant, Mr. Jemba!"

Ling Tian placed his hand on his chest and said firmly: "Because there is a conscience beating within this—offering three times the price, my conscience is worth this amount."

When it comes to the emotional moments, many innocent young girls shed tears of excitement, and even the well-traveled Vivian was in tears, utterly overwhelmed

A blood-red ferocity blossomed in Jemba's eyes as he ostentatiously extended his emaciated palm, his nails astonishingly elongating into a menacing black, seemingly oozing with lethal venom.

"What kind of boss? Why?" Jemba exclaimed.

Several students even fainted and died from excessive excitement

The rifles and bullets that flowed from his hands have killed at least ten thousand people; the diamonds and gold that flowed into his hands are enough for ten British princesses to hold weddings

Ling Tian glanced at Jemba beside him, tears streaming down his face from beneath his sunglasses: "Yes, that was a revelation from God. When I first arrived in this magnificent and mysterious land of Africa, I initially intended to be just a passerby. I traversed many war-torn countries and witnessed countless emaciated women and children on the brink of death. Yet, I told myself, there are so many people here; you simply cannot help everyone, and you might even lose your own life in the process! That was my mindset at the time, until I met a Black man—"

Ever since the boss returned from Tang Country a month ago, he has completely changed.

Ling Tian snorted: "Jemba, your heart is filled with the treachery of a wolf and the insincerity of a dog. Do you think I was lying just now? No, that is not the case; I have my own conscience! Now I have made my decision: all the goods I mentioned earlier for the Egyptian Unity Alliance are canceled!"

Vivian cast a disdainful glance at the short black man and said, "Jemba, you are so frail; you really should learn some karate from me. That way, you won't have to worry about being bullied when you go out! And the boss too, both of you are so weak, getting deceived every time you go out, and you don't even dare to fight back when you're attacked. Hmm, starting tomorrow, you should learn karate from me!"

Jemba felt a bit anxious: "So, boss, should I go ahead and reject them now?"

Ling Tian and others were surrounded by the school leaders as they ascended the podium. The vice principal, beaming with pride, announced: "Students, standing before you now is a courageous humanitarian warrior, a strong contender for the next annual South African Human Rights and Peace Medal, the closest friend of the Johannesburg Red Cross, and the general manager of 'Buffalo Medical Supplies Transport Company'..."

Vivian looked at the Black man with a complex expression and said in an unprecedentedly gentle tone: "J, Jemba, I didn't expect you to be so brave! No wonder your health is poor now; it's all because you were injured by a bomb, right? I have always wronged you, thinking you were useless by nature..."

It seems that a demon has devoured the boss's physical body and has burrowed into his skin. Who knows? ... Although the former boss was evil, he certainly did not possess such great power

Under the gaze of two hundred pure eyes, Ling Tian fell into deep contemplation

The vice principal emotionally introduced: "Students, this is the first Chinese guest lecturer we have invited since the establishment of our school, but I believe you must have already heard of Ling's name..."

Ling Tian and Jemba exchanged a mysterious glance, then lightly coughed and said: "Vivian, isn't it enough to have you here? What do serious businesspeople need to learn about fighting and killing for?"

Wow!

Several leaders and teachers from the nursing school are already waiting in the parking lot, courteously guiding him to the auditorium

Ling Tian recalled seriously: "That was... about four years ago, when I passed through a warring tribe in Central Africa. An enemy's bomb exploded in a pond, not only sending countless small fish flying onto the shore but also severely injuring a young man on the bank, who seemed unlikely to survive. However, this young man, instead of worrying about his own injuries, used his last bit of strength to search for the small fish that had not been killed by the explosion, throwing them back into the pond one by one. I found it very strange, so I got out of the car to ask him what he was doing. In my view, he was very foolish; most of those fish were likely injured by the blast, and even if he threw them back into the pond, there was little chance that many would survive, not to mention that he himself was close to death."

In the hearts of these students, the name is associated with peace, love, and life

He ranks ninth on the blacklist of the African division of Interpol. However, apart from his nickname "Viper," those foolish individuals do not even know his real name

An old and dirty sedan sped down the streets of Johannesburg, appearing rather shabby in comparison to the luxurious cars beside it

Fortunately, at this moment, the sedan came to a slow stop. The driver tapped on the soundproof partition: "Boss, we have arrived"

Several students passing by outside the auditorium expressed their confusion: "Which popular singer is performing in the auditorium today? I haven't heard anything about it..."

And he is now actually standing right in front of me

Ling Tian smiled as he walked onto the podium, first apologizing for the sunglasses on his face. He explained that two months ago, while returning to the Tang Kingdom from Qinghai-Tibet, he had suffered sunburn on his eyes due to the sunlight at high altitudes. He must wear sunglasses at all times for six months, which is not a sign of disrespect towards his fellow students

Jemba felt a brutal and bloody force strike heavily against his chest, instantly scattering all the condensed magical energy within him, causing a mouthful of fresh blood to surge up his throat. An inexplicable fear rose in his heart, and he did not even dare to blink his eyes.

She has been practicing karate and shooting since childhood, and even represented South Africa in the shooting events at the All-Africa Games, where she won a bronze medal. She also achieved a black belt in karate, making her a true martial arts prodigy

Where would anyone still pay attention to the vice principal, who was originally known for his humorous and witty speaking style and was usually the most captivating figure for students, and what he is currently saying

No one knows that beneath the mottled paint lies 10mm bulletproof armor, the engine has been completely replaced, capable of reaching an astonishing speed of 200 miles per hour at any moment, and the tires are the latest military-grade products that do not require inflation. Hidden beneath the simple interior of the car are three submachine guns, two bulletproof vests, and a first aid kit.

In June 2015, Johannesburg, the largest city in South Africa

Despite the absence of the slightest hint of anger in his voice, Jemba was still trembling in fear, repeatedly shaking his head and saying, "No, boss, I haven't had much contact with them."

Oh my goodness— the female students wept in sorrow for the unknown young man

Ling Tian furrowed his brow: "They are a group of beasts, unequivocal terrorists. They kidnap wealthy merchants, create chaos in public places, and even plant bombs in churches and temples. They brutally behead and skin foreign tourists, recording the process to send to television stations, sparing neither girls nor the elderly. What is most unacceptable is that they do this not out of political ideology—though they claim to act under the banner of politics, I know that is not the case; they do it solely for money. They are a group of beasts, swine, that even the devil would not want to associate with."

Vivian is the manager responsible for the "serious" business in the company and is completely unaware of the dealings that Ling Tian and the others are secretly engaged in

In the past three years, if www.hetushu.com had not been willing to take risks and tirelessly transport a large quantity of medical equipment and pharmaceuticals to those countries suffering from the ravages of war, the number of excess deaths across the African continent would have been at least double what it is now

Under Ling Tian's impassioned speech, the fervor of two hundred girls was completely ignited, and they collectively kindled the noble ideal of dedicating their lives to the suffering compatriots in the interior of Africa

Ling Tian remained noncommittal, downing the red wine in his glass: "Genius? No, I am merely a fool. All the geniuses in this world are in prisons and mental hospitals; only fools are foolishly laughing in parliaments and palaces. By the way, the world has been rather chaotic these days. I heard that the murderer who appeared a month ago has already dismembered five citizens, consuming their hearts and gallbladders. How is your progress with the secret technique I asked you to practice?"

Ling Tian smiled and said: "I am not afraid. With a master like you, Sister Vivian, protecting me, I wouldn't worry even if there were ten man-eating madmen."

The eyes of all the female students sparkled with glistening tears; he is truly magnificent

Amidst the cacophony of screams and chaos, Ling Tian, his face flushed with embarrassment, allowed the vice principal to pin the school badge on his chest, softly stating: "Mr. Principal, I take pride in safeguarding Johannesburg."

In addition to Jemba, there were two other people in the vehicle: one was the honest and kind-hearted Black driver, Old Tom, and the other was a lively young white girl named Vivian, who wore two revolvers at her waist

Boss, this red wine is a tribute to you from General Muhann of the Egyptian National Union. It is said to be blended with the blood of twelve virgins and has a history of eighty-three years, haha

The vice principal said with a smile: "Mr. Ling, your actions make you worthy of any honor. I hope to see you at the South African Human Rights and Peace Medal award ceremony at the end of the year. Now, please say a few words to my children; you are their hero."

Which of the budding maidens across all of Africa has not secretly dreamed of catching a glimpse of this hero?

Ling Tian immediately changed to a friendly expression, licking away the bright red from the corner of his mouth. He placed the amethyst skull back into the inner pocket close to his heart and stepped out of the car with a beaming smile.

The applause from the audience was thunderous

Ling Tian was so moved by these words that he trembled all over, while Jemba maliciously speculated that the boss was laughing uncontrollably in his heart

The three of them chatted and laughed as they arrived at the auditorium

Ling Tian placed his hand on the shoulder of the Black man and explained: "The reasoning here is as follows: if we do not sell weapons to the Egyptian League, they will not be able to launch large-scale operations. If they do not launch large-scale operations, how can the Egyptian government capture these scoundrels? Well, in order to eliminate these shameless rogues, we should provide them with the best goods."

The small auditorium was filled to capacity, with two hundred female students dressed in nurse uniforms warmly welcoming their new instructor

Boss
