Chapter 4424 Secret Inside Story
Such an outcome was tantamount to a disaster for any escort agency. As long as they lost the protection of the South continent escort agency Alliance, they would inevitably become the prey of the Pirates of the South continent. At that time, they wouldn't even know how they died, let alone have a firm foothold in the escort business.
Choosing the lesser of the two evils, everyone was forced to do it helplessly. Since they couldn't give up, they could only grit their teeth and force someone to fight.
However, in this way, the escort agencies basically no longer asked for points for the competition that was obviously meant to send them to their deaths. Instead, they were very pragmatic and tried to minimize their losses as much as possible. Those highly relied upon experts of the escort agency were naturally unwilling to send them to their deaths. Therefore, many of the escort agencies sent out a group of old, weak, sick, and disabled people this round.
Most of these people did not have much strength or ability to show off. Many of them had been seriously injured when they were young, and they still had serious aftereffects to this day. Some of them were even seriously ill and on the verge of death. Instead of wasting their days and waiting for death, it was better to take this opportunity to earn some spiritual Jade for their families.
Moreover, even if they didn't want to go, the bodyguard agency would throw them out forcefully. They had to go even if they didn't want to. If they caused trouble now, they would definitely die a worse death. So, they had no choice but to accept their fate.
Just like the first round, before the competition began, all the bodyguard agencies had to hand over the list of participants to the judges and the judges, and then display it to the whole audience.
Because of his outstanding performance in the first round, Qi Mingyuan was originally in a good mood. However, when he received the registration form from his son, Qi Wenhan, and saw Ling Yi's name on it, he was instantly stunned. Without saying a word, he subconsciously wanted to slap him. He was prepared to fly into a rage on the spot!
"Are you F * cking crazy?!" Qi Mingyuan's anger exploded. He pointed at Qi Wenhan's nose and scolded him. If it wasn't for the fact that the heads of the other five big bodyguard agencies were around, he would have hung Qi Wenhan up and given him a beating.
"Dad, calm down first, don't be angry." Qi Wenhan knew this would happen. He smiled bitterly and explained,""The others refused to go. I wanted to do it myself, but Ling Yi said he was confident and insisted on taking the job. He even snatched the registration form from me and I couldn't stop him."
"We have to stop them even if we can 't! They're helping us out of the kindness of their heart, but we can't trick them. Don't you even understand this?" Qi Mingyuan glared at Qi Wenhan and said,""You don't have to do it yourself. Look at how they do it. Can't you learn from them and find some old, weak, sick, or disabled person to deal with it?"
"But even if they are old, weak, sick, or disabled, it's too demoralizing to force people to choose. It's also easy to leave a shadow in everyone's hearts. In the long run, it's not good for the bodyguard agency. It's better if I do it myself ..." Qi Wenhan frowned.
Having received an elite education from a young age, he knew that the loyalty of the people was the key to the success or failure of any force. Once the People's hearts were lost, even a traditional wealthy family like the four Seas escort agency would fall into the abyss of a broken nightmare, let alone the Qitian escort agency, which was one of the five major escort agencies. The price was too great and no one could afford to pay.
"Who said that we have to force the person to choose? if you don't want to do it, just do it yourself. Who are you? You're the young master of the Qitian bodyguard agency and you'll be the head of the agency in the future. Can't you use your brain before you do things?" Qi Mingyuan's face was filled with disappointment as he knocked Qi Wenhan's head.
"Then what do you think we should do, dad?" Qi Mingyuan said helplessly as he held his head.
"Are you stupid? didn't eighth brother always say that he doesn't want to live because of his old injuries? You can just let him go!" Qi Mingyuan's eyes widened as he pouted.
Qi Wenhan was stunned for a moment before he remembered this eighth brother of Tang 's. This man had been working at Qitian bodyguard agency for many years and could be considered a veteran bodyguard.
It was said that when he was young, he had made a name for himself in the South continent's Sea area. He was once a master who was unconvinced by eight out of seven people. However, those who were brave and ruthless usually did not have a good ending. This eighth brother of Tang was no exception. After one failure, all his bones were broken one by one. Even his internal organs were pierced by his own bones. He almost reported to the King of Hell.
In the end, although he was saved by someone and managed to recover a little of his strength, he was left with serious side effects. After joining Qitian bodyguard agency, he could still hold on at first. However, as time went on, especially after being exposed to the sea breeze and rain, the side effects became more and more frequent, and they became more and more serious, making him wish he was dead.
There were a few times when he was tortured to the point where he wanted to commit suicide. He even tried to do so, but was stopped by others. Now, he was being raised by the bodyguard agency like an idle person. He could only rely on drinking to numb himself. Every day, he would drink until he was dead drunk.
"This is a good opportunity for eighth brother to be free. His family can also earn a large sum of money for his funeral. It's a good thing for both him and our bodyguard agency. Why not?" Qi Mingyuan instructed.
"That's right, but dad, this is just the most passive way to deal with the job. There's no way you can get any points like this. " Qi Wenhan frowned.
"Score? You actually expect to score in this segment, are you F * cking stupid?" Qi Mingyuan looked at Qi Wenhan in disbelief. He pointed at boundless sea and said in a low voice,""Do you know why there's a second round of competition?"
"Didn't the five of you come up with this plan together?" Qi Wenhan couldn't help but ask.
"That's just what they say in name. In reality, the second round of the competition was purely suggested by the four Seas escort agency. Then, they used all sorts of threats and promises to force their way through with their status as the leader of the underworld." Qi Mingyuan explained in a bad mood.
Qi Wenhan was speechless. He didn't know that there was such an inside story.
"Do you understand now? the demon cold Sea area has always been the four Seas escort agency's home ground. This so-called new sea route may be unfamiliar to us, but do you think it's also an unfamiliar sea route to them? Therefore, this is a competition tailored for them. Of course, only they have a chance of scoring. The other thirty-one bodyguard agencies are just accompanying the Crown Prince to study. Scoring or whatever is purely wishful thinking. " Qi Mingyuan sighed. [A good event where meat pies fall from the sky.
