BODYGARD

Chapter 4：Lucy!

This boy isn't afraid of bragging about himself out loud, is he?

"Hm? A young boy!" Anita was taken aback.

She then noticed that the one competing with Bai Teng was actually just a boy who seemed to be less than twenty years old.

With this realization, Anita couldn't help but take a few more glances at Jack, an uncontrollable thought emerged in her mind.

This young boy, did he come here to apply for the job of a bodyguard?

And....

This boy easily won a strength competition against a huge man a few moments ago?

As she thought about it, she looked at Bai Teng, whose face was still flushed. Could it be that Bai Teng was not as robust as he seemed?

.....

"The assistant, Wang, is here!"

"It's Wang, the assistant!"

Anita's chuckles broke the silence, and those who were watching the competition got up quickly as they heard of Anita's arrival.

Anita was the assistant to the lady of the Emperor Group who might in fact be their future boss, so no one dared to show any disrespect towards Anita.

Seeing the others stand up, Jack quickly followed.

"Young boy, what's your name?" Anita asked, bearing a charming smile, her attractive red lips revealing a row of sparkling white teeth.

Jack took a look at Anita’s voluptuous and curvaceous figure, swallowed hard, and thought to himself. It was said that secretaries and assistants all had ideal bodies, he thought it was a rumor. But looking at Anita today, that seemed to be really true.

Anita was wearing a professional suit that accentuated her large breasts and perky bottom. Her curves were exquisite, epitomizing an alluring feminine figure.

"This woman is really tall," Jack thought to himself.

With her high heels, she was almost one meter seventy-five.

However, when he heard Anita, he felt a bit upset, frowned, and said, "My name is Jack, you can call me a boy, but never add the word 'little' to it!”

A little boy?

Calling me a teen is better than a little boy.

Anita couldn't help but chuckle again and said, "Fine then — little boy!"

Anita joked around a bit before dropping the topic, her light-heartedness vanishing in an instant, suddenly turning serious.

It's often said that women are fickle, and indeed today was no exception.

"Let me tell you something beforehand. Prior to you, there have been over five batches of personal bodyguards recruited for the lady. Each batch had more than twenty people, but none of them passed the assessment to this day. I'm telling you this so you can be mentally prepared for failure!" Anita’s shocking revelation was like a bucket of cold water poured on the crowd.

"What!"

"All of the first five batches failed!"

"There were five batches before us?"

Anita raised her fair and slender hand to quiet them, "Okay, quiet down!"

Needless to say, business-experienced women have a strong aura. With just this gesture, Anita had effectively caused the big guys in the hall to dutifully close their mouths.

"Hiring you is because the company appreciates your skills, and not hiring you is also the company's choice," With a frown on her lovely face and seriousness in her eyes, Anita said, "Let me lay down the assessment rules. There are twenty-three of you, and you're to compete against each other one by one!"

"Remember, it’s a one-on-one elimination, and only the last person standing would be eligible to enter the next round of assessment!"

At this point, everyone understood the difficulty of the assessment.

"The preliminary assessment rules are simple. Starting now, there are twenty-three of you. I will randomly pick two people to compete against each other in that room. The one who loses will be eliminated, and the winner will wait on the sofa for the second round," Anita's voice was stern but held its own interesting twist.

In the midst of speaking, Anita raised her finger.

"You, and you!"

The people pointed out were Jack and Bai Teng.

"You two, go into that room and compete!" Anita said.

Compete?

In plain terms, it was actually a fight. Whoever got knocked down would be eliminated, and those who could remain standing would not be eliminated in the first round.

"This..."

Bai Teng was inwardly griping. Without engaging with Jack, he had no clue how strong Jack really was. He might have underestimated Jack's small physique at first, but after competing with Jack once, he fully realized he might be dealing with a powerful competitor, just as Jack claimed.

"Cough, let's go, bro!" Bai Teng awkwardly said.

Jack gave Bai Teng a friendly smile.

The crowd's perception of Jack was now seemingly different, although they still harbored some doubts, believing that Jack might be simply stronger and not necessarily better in a fight than Bai Teng.

After all, even if Bai Teng had tripped up earlier, he should not make the same mistake a second time!

Jack and Bai Teng both went into another room connected to the main hall.

Watching them go in, Anita glanced at her watch.

One second!

Two seconds!

Three seconds!

No sound came from the room where the competition was supposed to be happening.

It was extremely quiet!

Anita blinked, sitting down on the sofa with her legs crossed, feeling a bit puzzled. Three seconds should have been enough to start the competition, so why was there no noise?

She waited a while longer.

Just then,

'Creak——'

The room door was opened, and Jack was the first to step out. Under the stunned gazes of everyone, he gave a shy, embarrassed grin and then promptly sat down on the sofa.

A few seconds later, Bai Teng also came out of the competition room. Unlike Jack, he was holding his stomach and looked pained as he walked out.

Seeing everyone staring at him, Bai Teng felt wronged.

And then——

"I lost!" Bai Teng admitted with a bitter laugh.

From start to finish, it didn't even take ten seconds!

Anita's beautiful eyes flashed in surprise, looking at Jack's demeanor became a lot more strange.

Perhaps out of a hundred people watching Jack and Bai Teng's competition, all would have believed Bai Teng would win. However, the reality was, all one hundred just lost their bets.

Not only Anita, every person standing nearby dared not underestimate Jack any longer.

Bai Teng was the most aware of Jack’s abilities. He took a large breath and cursed his bad luck.

“You, you!” Anita flicked her long, black hair, looking charming and alluring. While she was talking, she pointed at another two people to compete.

There were twenty-three individuals for this assessment, divided into two groups for competition. Those who won got the chance to proceed to the next round, while those who lost were immediately disqualified.

The extra one person from the twenty-three was exceptionally fortunate, as they didn't need to compete and could directly advance to the next round. After all, there would be exactly twelve people in the next round of eliminations.

......

Boom——

Boom, boom!

Sounds came from the competition room.

Finally, the last person came out of the competition room.

"Alright, let's move on to the next elimination round!" Anita didn't give anyone time to rest and declared the next round of elimination, regardless of fairness.

Twenty-three people.

When there was only one person remained, they would have the qualification to move on to the next round of assessment!

Jack thought to himself.

Just what kind of person needed a personal bodyguard that the assessments were this rigid?

The second round of elimination started quickly.

Jack was not eliminated!

The third round began, and Jack still came out a winner!

Everyone who applied for the position of personal bodyguard tried hard to secure a victory.

Yet, they did not know that at the same time, on the third floor of Qiu Yan Pavilion, a young woman and an old man were sitting opposite each other on a sofa. In front of them, there was a flat-screen computer, displaying the scene of Jack's third-round elimination competition!

Perhaps the most eye-catching part wasn't the fights on the screen.

Rather, it was the woman sitting on the sofa, who seemed to be lost in a daydream.

This woman was about 21 or 22 years old, dressed in a pink blouse and black jeans, with long black hair hanging down to her shoulders, entirely natural, with a faint fragrance.

Such attire would seem common if worn by any other woman, but on her, it seemed to be the perfect match.

There was no makeup on her face, because she had no flaws to be covered.

The only regret, though.

The woman's face was expressionless, with her beautiful eyes beneath her brow focusing on the computer, revealing no emotions.

If able to make this woman smile, it would have been the most interesting and lovely thing in the world.

However, it wasn't an easy thing.

"Expert!"

"This is an expert!"

On the contrary, the elderly man seemed very excited and passionate, as if he had seen a treasure while watching the scene on the tablet computer.

At this moment, he exclaimed, "This young man is not old, but he has ruthless attacks. The power of his fists is steady as a rock, as heavy as Mount Tai, and as swift as lightning. His power is immense, yet he knows how to control it. Every part of his body can be used for defence and attack, this……"

"Miss, this person is not bad! He can be considered an expert!" Mo Bo respectfully said.

The person he was referring to was Jack.

Every move that Jack made in the assessment was under both of their eyes.

Lucy showed no shock or surprise, her eyes fixated on the screen, never turning away. She gave a slight nod, her natural red lips slightly parted to say, "How does Mo Bo see him?"

"Regrettably, I am too old to protect you, miss. To tell whether he is eligible or not, it's hard to decide in a short period. However, it is inevitable that he will take the first place in the elimination match. The second round of assessment can be skipped, and he can directly enter the third round! We can select ten people from Miss's security team for him to fight against. If he succeeds, he is eligible to protect Miss up close! Of course, whether to keep him or not, depends on Miss's decision," Mo Bo slowly said.

Lucy nodded.

"I understand."

As she spoke, she stood up from the sofa, walked to the phone, and gently dialed several numbers.

"Proceed to the third round of assessment directly!"

Lucy's words were still brief, making it hard for Anita on the other end of the phone to understand her meaning.

After all, the current elimination round hadn't finished.

When the call ended, Anita massaged her temples. Working with her mistress, she had to keep up with Lucy's thought process.

However, even after going through various selections and becoming Lucy's assistant, she could only barely keep up with Lucy's thinking.

After becoming Lucy's assistant, she doubted her intelligence on multiple occasions.

After a while, she understood.

She was intelligent, but Lucy was even smarter!

Lucy was exceptionally bright, smart to the point of being chilling. The only pity was that her lady was too rigid in doing things, like a robot that had no understanding of human emotions.

After she thought for a moment, she understood Lucy's intention.

Meanwhile,

The elimination round ended.

Jack stepped out from the competition room

He had won the final competition.

Looking around the hall, among the twenty-three people, everyone had more or less some scars on their bodies, except for Jack.
