There were not many experts amongst the people that Sean brought over, and the probability of success for the visit the next day was not very high even with all of them combined. However, it was fine for Zayn because he was not counting on them. He claimed to be bringing this group of people to pay a visit, yet in truth, he was the only person who would be playing a role. He chose to do this only because he wanted to put up a front. Those people looked at one another and they were interested. A few of them, who were relatively hot-tempered and very confident about their skills, stepped forward to sign the contract. A man declared loudly, “Sir, I’m going to work for you! I’m going to beat them up tomorrow for sure when we pay the top dogs a visit tomorrow! To hell with that b*llsh*t Northmob Council. I don’t give a f*ck about it!”He was a fighter trained in Hercion Kickboxing with a minor in Achillean Boxing. He was around 40 years old and had a pair of huge eyes while thick hai
In his perception, Zayn would not even be able to withstand one punch from him due to the latter’s skinny figure.So what if Zayn was rich? He did not train to be powerful, so he was just a piece of trash. Hunter did not have respect for Zayn from the bottom of his heart. He was the type of person who put his whole heart into martial arts and regarded money as unrealistic things while martial arts was the noblest of all. Hunter wanted to fight Zayn but abandoned the idea after seeing all the skilled fighters around him. Even if he was powerful, he would not have the courage to act so recklessly as to go up against so many skilled fighters solo. He considered it for a moment before he turned around and said, “30 thousand dollars is too little. I’m a black-belt Hercion Kickboxing master, after all, thus you have to give me a raise.”Zayn had already seen through Hunter’s thoughts since the start, and he found the man amusing. He said, “I will be taking my people to pay the Northm
There were others in the division that began ridiculing the people upon hearing the subordinate’s report. Someone commented, “Haha, a company that makes television shows wishes to pay us a visit to show obeisance? I think they’re here to make a fool of themselves!”“I heard about Violet Vision Media Corp before. It’s an entertainment company that has signed many celebrities. They had this famous martial arts celebrity… what was his name again? He was in that movie with the Gorgoherion Boxing plot, and he was so famous that he became an international sensation. Could he be bringing these martial arts celebrities with him for the visit?”“Haha, that sounds possible actually. These celebrities are capable of fighting majestically in movies, so perhaps they are very confident of themselves in real life too, and they want to try to get a piece of the security business.”“Sounds great. I’ve punished all sorts of people in life, but I’ve never fought against celebrities. I’d like to see if
Sean seemed to be acquainted with Bill. He took a step forward and said with a smile, “Mr. Costa, we intend to set up a security company in Waltz City, and we would like to ask for your blessing.”Bill picked up his mug and sipped his coffee leisurely. More than ten seconds passed before he spoke, “Hey, Sean, you’re doing well in the entertainment business now. Why are you suddenly looking into competing with us, huh? It’s not that you’re unaware of the depth of the security business.”Sean hastily said, “We’re expanding our business now that Violet Vision Media Corp is developing well, so many people are offended. That is why our chairman came up with the idea to set up a security company to care for our personal safety. It’s not that we want to compete against you.”Bill furrowed his brows and said, “There’s no need for you to establish a security company specifically just to protect yourselves. You can just work with us. Our Northmob Council’s bodyguards are famous in the busines
As soon as Bill said those words, the air in the surroundings seemed to freeze over instantly while the atmosphere was tense with people preparing to fight. Sean’s cold sweat drenched his forehead before streaming down in huge droplets. He began to regret it now. He should have gone all out to dissuade Zayn from venturing into the security profession from the start so that he could avoid offending Bill. Frankly, Sean dreaded Bill even more compared to Zayn! After all, Bill Costa was the top-level personnel of the Northmob Council who led the division by himself. Most importantly, one should not provoke the Northmob Council because they were a bunch of skilled fighters. Perhaps, Bill would hit him in the face just because he wanted to do so. Hunter found it amusing that Zayn was being humiliated like that. He became complacent in his heart and was dancing with schadenfreude inside. ‘I thought you’re very proud of yourself for being the big boss of Violet Vision Media Corp. How com
It was a fighter about 40 years old who held a sturdy fighting stance. There were obvious corns on his knuckles while his temples were bulging ever so slightly and his eyes especially lively. It felt as if there were two balls of flames burning in his pupils now, and one could tell that he was a good fighter at one glance. However, Steel Man let out a disdainful chuckle upon seeing him. He shook his head and said, “Not you. You’re too weak.”The middle-aged fighter was even more enraged. He grunted heavily once and said through his clenched teeth, “No, you’ll know after you fight me!”Next, he poised himself and began to launch an attack onto the Steel Man. “Hmph, you're way over your head.” Steel Man sniggered once. When the middle-aged fighter charged toward him, he made a move with each by swinging his fist to deliver a punch. He moved so swiftly and threw the punch so strongly that he hit straight at the middle-aged man’s cheek. The middle-aged man collapsed to the ground at
Bill smiled at Zayn. “Looks like your men aren’t really fighters after all. How are you supposed to secure anything if you can’t even secure a victory against the weakest goon I have? How are you supposed to protect your client—using the power of love? Bwahahahah!”The rest of the gang burst into scornful chortles.Sean’s expression increasingly darkened. His rising bile compelled him to ball his hands into fists as shades of red began to color his cheeks. He was mild-tempered by nature and patient by nurture—when one lived to his age, they would have experienced enough of life to know how most things in life were not worth throwing a fit over—and yet, Bill’s satirical remark got under his skin against his wishes.If he had the power—if only he had the power! He would wipe that smirk off Bill’s flattened face!He dared not. He could not possibly kill anyone with a single punch.And that limitation was what made Zayn’s decision more and more confusing to Sean. Why would he cast asi
“Really? Him and what—that wimpy body of his? He’s going to fly off into the sunset after receiving Terror Teddy’s punch.”“I mean, just look at that tender, unblemished, unbruised skin and that wimpy frame. Do you think he even knows how to clench his fist properly? Oh, but he sure is good at propping himself up like that against Terror Teddy. Brain-damaged much?”“And that guy’s some important mogul taking the helm of a bullish company? Mate, I don’t think its upward growth is gonna last any sooner.”“Dude thinks that just because he watches some action superhero movies on Netflix or Disney+ or something, and he’s suddenly a superhero of his own right! Haha, you can’t make this sh*t up!”Every member of the Northmob Council was seized by laughing fits. They did not try to hide their amusement and scorn behind any pretense. Some even laughed so hard that tears were rolling down their cheeks.To them, Zayn was, at best, an average guy. He was scrawny, his skin soft and completely
