Chapter 5: One against Ten!
1894 Words
The elimination round.
There could only be one person left.
And the last person left was Jack!
Anita had gained some understanding of Jack's strength, and she wasn't too surprised that Jack had won the first place in the elimination round. However, she looked at Jack with curiosity blooming in her eyes. She wondered how this Jack, who did not fit the image of a strong man at all, could be so strong.
Taking a deep breath, she couldn't help but look at Jack with a serious tone.
It was only after a while that she spoke again.
"Other than Jack, the rest of you may leave!" Anita said with a pretty smile.
While she asked people to leave, seeing Anita's pleasant smile made it impossible for people to get angry.
Soon, only Jack and Anita were left in the hall.
This meant that only Jack was eligible to enter the next round of assessment.
Jack stared at Anita, thinking about how perfect Anita's figure was. He was so infatuated that he didn't even notice Anita frowning at him for such a long time.
That chest, that butt, how did they become so developed? Her parents must be very capable!
"Cough, cough!" Anita pretended to cough twice.
This kid was too rude! It's one thing to sneak a peek at a beautiful woman, but you can't just stare openly!
Jack came to his senses and quickly changed the subject, saying, "What's the next part of the assessment?"
"Please wait a moment, Jack!" Anita said with a furrowed brow.
Jack chuckled and didn't push further, knowing that Anita was probably upset.
Not long after.
Jack felt a slight movement and turned his head to look. After about two or three seconds, a group of men dressed in black suits entered the hall. They were so tall and sturdy that it was hard to tell how strong they actually were.
However, Jack could sense how formidable these men were with just one glance.
Steady!
Those muscular men who came for the bodyguard audition, although their stature was robust, they didn't have that steady, rock-like aura. The first thing a strong man needed to train was not strength, but steadiness. If they were not steady, no matter how strong they were, it would be useless!
Jack gave a glance, there were ten men in total.
Each one of them carried an aura that was not ordinary!
"Expert!"
Jack thought to himself quietly. He suddenly thought of a possibility.
A possibility that presented a high level of difficulty!
"Assistant Wang!" The man in the suit who was leading the group nodded to Anita and said, "We have received Master Mo's order and are here for the third round of assessment. We would like to know who the participant is!"
"He's the one!"
Anita pointed at Jack and muttered.
"Him?"
Not only the lead man in a suit, but the others also looked at each other with confusion on their faces.
The test subject, shockingly, was a man in his teens?
However, unlike everyone else, this line of men only showed a moment of surprise; they didn't laugh or underestimate Jack.
Their duty is to obey without question!
And they should never underestimate their opponent at any time!
"I see!" The leading man, Guo Hao, said.
Anita also nodded seriously, then turned to Jack and said, "If you pass this assessment, you will be qualified to take on the task of being a personal bodyguard for the lady. During the probationary period, the monthly salary will be thirty thousand!"
"Thirty thousand?" Jack was slightly taken aback.
The uniformed woman told him it was sixteen thousand!
What he didn't know was that the woman in uniform had encouraged him to apply for a general bodyguard position, but because he had performed so well, he was qualified to be a personal bodyguard!
The difference between a general bodyguard and a personal bodyguard is significant.
A bodyguard may need to maintain a certain distance from the employer, for example, during a shopping mall negotiation, the bodyguard can only stand outside.
But a personal bodyguard has to maintain a certain distance from the employer whenever there's potential risk! Even during business negotiations, that person has to stand behind the employer to ensure their safety at all times.
Personal bodyguards can be considered to be close bodyguards. This type of bodyguard is not abundant, but every one chosen is a standout among others!
In other words, a personal bodyguard has more responsibilities than a general bodyguard, so naturally, their pay is much higher.
Jack didn't know any of this, but hearing that the wage has doubled from what he initially expected filled his heart with joy. He didn't have any complaints.
During the trial period, he'd earn thirty thousand.
Once he became a regular employee, it would be fifty thousand a month!
Upon thinking of this, Jack clenched his fists in determination. No matter how difficult the assessment was, he had to pass it!
Seeing Jack's unconcealed joy, Anita quickly threw a bucket of cold water on his enthusiasm. "Don't get too excited yet," she said, "The assessment is quite challenging. You see these ten men?"
"I see!"
Anita, now serious, stated, "Your assessment is to defeat these ten men. Not one on one, but one against ten. If you beat all ten, you pass the assessment, and you will start the probationary period."
"What!" Jack's eyes widened. "Why not just tell me to jump off a building?"
Whenever Anita talked about work, she would become unusually stern. "You may choose to forfeit, which would be considered failing the assessment."
"Alright!"
Jack glanced at the ten men, thought for a moment, and spoke reluctantly.
He couldn't give up on the opportunity to earn thirty to fifty thousand dollars.
"Let's begin!"
Jack clenched and unclenched his fists as he stood up from the sofa.
"Please!"
"The leader of the ten suit-wearing men, Guo Hao, lifted his right arm and said.
In a short time, Jack and the ten suit-clad men disappeared from the hall and entered the specially-set fighting room.
Anita, although had a serious look on her face, was interested in the situation in the fighting room. She knew that these ten men were elite bodyguards picked from the mistress's bodyguard team. She had seen these people in action before, and knew their abilities. But now they were fighting against this young boy...
Women fear violence, but they love to watch violence!
And now, a violent situation was about to unfold!
...
Jack and the ten men in suits all arrived in the spacious fighting room, which was even larger than the hall, providing sufficient space for movement.
"Can we start?" Guo Hao twisted his neck, making a cracking sound.
"We can start now!" Jack nodded.
All ten men began to warm up!
The next moment, a strong gust of a punch came towards him. Guo Hao was the first to strike, and the rest of the nine men didn't stand idly by either. They swarmed from all directions and targeted Jack, as if they wanted to block all escape routes for him.
Ruthless!
No signs of underestimating the enemy at all!
Upon seeing this, Jack didn't hesitate.
Run!
Each of these ten men had some flaws, more or less. Jack was confident that he could take on any of them in a one-on-one fight. However, when these ten men stood together, even their flaws became non-existent. He could only run!
Don’t run?
Then prepare to be beaten.
He can't let these men surround him. Otherwise, he would surely lose!
Jack broke into a sprint as fast as a monkey, outpacing the ten men in both reaction and agility.
Thankfully, the fighting room was vast, and Jack was able to put a distance between him and the men!
Run!
He tried to disperse the ten men by running while making an opening.
However, these were not ordinary men. Each one had undergone special training. As they chased after Jack, the group of ten remained in formation.
Jack twisted his neck.
"No other way!"
Bam!
Jack, who was in the middle of his run, suddenly turned around and threw a punch towards Guo Hao, who was leading the chase.
It was sudden!
Guo Hao reacted swiftly and threw a punch towards Jack in retaliation.
Their punches collided!
However, upon touching Jack's fist, Guo Hao's face changed drastically, and he hurriedly tried to withdraw his punch. But this slight retreat spurred on Jack's momentum.
One punch!
Two punches!
Three punches!
In the blink of an eye, Jack rained three successive punches onto Guo Hao, causing his arm to go numb.
After landing three blows, Jack bolted.
On the other hand, Guo Hao stayed put and continuously shook his arm, trying to alleviate the numbness.
One thing became clear to him!
“This kid, he’s way too strong!”
“Big bro!”
A man in a suit looked stupefied, seeing his leader Guo Hao injured after a single exchange.
However, with a flushed face, Guo Hao roared, “Don’t worry about me!”
Jack's nimble body left the ten men without a chance to strike, and he had already strategized his next moves.
…
The tussle had now lasted three minutes.
Thud!
A man in a suit felt his body giving in. Struck by Jack’s punch in the stomach, he toppled over. After a brief struggle, he lost consciousness.
Jack let out a small sigh of relief.
Although the men in suits showed no sign of fatigue, there was a clear deterioration in their stamina.
Jack surveyed the room.
There were seven men remaining.
Three minutes into the fight, he had taken out three of them.
“That kid!” Guo Hao was on high alert. Even though he hadn’t underestimated Jack at the start, he couldn’t deny, the lad was a master fighter!
In a blink, they were trading blows again!
…
Anita listened to the various sounds coming from the fighting room, the idea of peeking in crossed her mind several times, but she shook her head.
People pay attention to the start, enjoy the process, and focus on the final result.
She only needed to focus on the outcome.
“Already over ten minutes!”
Anita checked her watch.
“Huh!”
Right then, she paused.
“The sounds from the fighting room stopped!” Anita thought, “Could a result have been reached?”
Inside the fighting room.
Jack took a few deep breaths and then sat on the floor. Around him, men in suits lay haphazardly. They were either unconscious or writhing in pain, unable to get up.
No one knew what had transpired inside the room, only that the equipment was in shambles.
Seeing the ten men in suits lying on the ground made one thing evident.
The result was clear!
Jack had single-handedly beaten all ten men!
And they weren’t just any men; they were masters!
After resting a bit, Jack slowly got up and opened the door!
On seeing Jack emerging from the room, Anita's eyes widened in shock, she asked in astonishment, "Did you win?"
"I won!" Jack collapsed into the sofa, taking in a gulp of fresh air.
Anita was in disbelief for a moment, her cherry lips slightly parted, revealing a woman's beauty and charm.
