Text ：Peter Wang felt sad and dejected as he walked out of the Human Resources office. He found it so difficult to accept the result. From where he came, he was feared by all the gangs. They even called him "Mighty Soldier King". Here in the city, he couldn't even find a decent job because he lacked a college degree. Suddenly, his phone rang. Peter noticed and picked it up immediately. "Peter," said the voice from the other line. It was his girlfriend.? "It's over. I'm breaking up with you." "You've been gone for so long. I need a boyfriend, not a phone pal." "Darling, please—" Peter tried to get her back. "I know I've been gone, but I'm back now. I'll always be with you now." "Oh yeah? Well, what can you give me?" "A dishwasher working abroad earns much more money than you." "What exactly can you give me, huh?" she challenged,"Do you even have savings after working all these years? Have you found a single stable job since you got back? Will you be able to give me the things I want?" "I can, I promise! I'll buy you the biggest house you will ever want! Darling, I'm really sorry I've been gone. I'm sorry that we're struggling. I'm having a hard time finding a job in the city, but it will be better soon, I promise. Things will get better, and when they do—" "And how would you do that?", the girl interrupted. "How are things going to get better, Peter? Will you ever get to buy me a BMW car? Will you ever get to buy me a Louis Vuitton handbag? Ferragamo shoes? Chanel suits? Ha! You can't even afford to buy me a-hundred-square-meter house, for Christ's sake." Peter was silent. She sighed. "You don't need to say anything, Peter. I'm tired. I can't deal with this anymore. Goodbye, Peter," she said as she hung up. Peter held his hand-phone tightly, dumbfounded. Despite her muffled voice from the static of his old Nokia, her message was clear as day. "AHHHH! Help! Somebody, help! Thief, thief! That thief stole my bag!" Peter heard someone scream from the other end of the street. A lady in uniform was screaming in panic and desperation, running as fast as her high-heeled shoes would take her. A man with dark sunglasses holding a Louis Vuitton handbag was fleeing from the scene towards a motorcycle. "Go away! Right now!" He shouted to the onlookers as he jumped onto his vehicle. As soon as he did, he crunched his brow, turned the handles and accelerated. In shock, every person on the sidewalk squeezed themselves up to the wall as the motorcycle zoomed past them. Nobody dared block its way. It's risky to be involved in robberies nowadays. Nobody wants to get hurt. The lady in a suit watched the motorcycle drive away, helplessly. The sight infuriated Peter. As the motorcycle approached, he planted his feet firmly on the ground, pulled his left leg back, and with all his might, flung it into the raging vehicle in a strong forceful kick as soon as it passed in front of him. The kick took the man by surprise. He couldn't believe what happened! His motorcycle tumbled sharply and it went spinning on the pavement. The impact threw him to the further end of the road and forced him to drop the stolen bag to the ground. "Ahhhhh!" The pedestrians held their hands to their mouths as they screamed. Peter, indifferent to the commotion, walked to the side of the man, calmly picked up the bag, and handed it to the lady. "Here's your bag, ma'am." "Th-thank you." The lady managed to say when she realized that he was talking to her. She was still stunned from the events that just happened. Peter inspected the lady for half a second before diverting his gaze. "Not at all, it's my pleasure." Peter turned to leave. The lady looked like a corporate professional. He imagined her in her air-conditioned office and exquisite jewelry. 'We come from two different worlds, ' he thought. 'It's useless to think about her.' "Wait a second!" Peter felt a hand grasp his elbow from behind. "I'm Elaine Dai. What's your name? I… just want to thank you for your help," she continued. "Can we have lunch together?" She looked at him as she awaited his response. Peter is at his mid-20's, standing 180 cm tall. His face has well-defined angles on his forehead, cheeks, and jawline. He's not the type that you would notice in a crowd, but he's not bad-looking either. "You're welcome, really. It's no trouble at all. You don't need to take me out for lunch. Thanks for the offer, though. I have to go." Peter pulled his hand away gently as he refused her invitation. He was still thinking about his very recent breakup. Less than an hour ago, the love of his life walked away from him. Apart from that, he's broke and unemployed. It was such a bad time to accept a lunch invite. Elaine stood perplexed at his immediate refusal. For most people, Elaine is a sight to behold. She had light skin and brown hair that emphasized her bright almond eyes. She had men falling at her feet and any of them would have accepted her lunch invite in a heartbeat. But Peter, he just refused her without hesitation. 'Have I lost my charm?' she thought sadly. 'He didn't even tell me his name, ' she realized. Peter was about to walk away when he heard a voice from behind him. "Stop!" It was the man from the motorcycle! He pushed himself up and turned to Peter, holding a sharp, silver blade. He didn't have serious injuries despite his fall. Like a rabid beast, he shot Peter a deadly stare. 'This should have been an easy robbery if he didn't get in the way, ' the man thought. 'It's time to give him a lesson.' "Are you talking to me?" Peter turned to the man, unthreatened. Peter hesitated because the man was badly injured. He stood in disbelief at the challenge thrown at him. "What are you planning to do?" asked Peter "STOP!" Elaine cried. "STOP OR I'LL CALL THE POLICE!" Elaine rushed in front of Peter, holding up her phone. "Call the police?" the motorcycle driver asked manically. "fxxk the police! You'll both be dead by the time they get here!" The man started running towards Elaine, the sun shining brightly against his knife. The people in the street stood frozen in the background. Elaine turned pale. She trembled. She didn't know what to do! Growing up comfortably in the city, she thought these things could only happen in the movies! Peter gasped. 'what the hxll? This man must be crazy if he could stab someone in broad daylight! It seems he hasn't learned his lesson!' The man was about to stab Elaine. But Peter reacted faster. Chapter 2 The Girl He Met In The Bar On reflex, Peter managed to grab the attacker's weapon hand and slap him with his free hand. The man failed to dodge, getting his face bloody and teeth knocked out. In his rage, Peter charged and started to throw the man punch after punch until his face was red and swollen all over. PA PA PA PA PA! Peter punched and kicked with all his strength. He thought about everything that happened today —his breakup, his failure to find a job —and put them all in his fists. He felt no remorse for the troublemaker. "You're lucky this time. The next time you cause trouble again, I swear I'll kill you. Go!" Peter said, dismissing the young man. Realizing his defeat, the man retreated holding on to his battered face. He didn't even dare grab his motorcycle as he ran away. He shot Peter a vengeful look. 'You'll pay for this, ' he thought. Peter ignored him. If he had the balls to come take revenge, Peter would show no mercy! Peter felt good about the skirmish. It was a much-needed release of all the tension he felt for the day. As he was about to leave, he heard Elaine falling down from behind him. Peter quickly turned to keep her from falling. "Are you OK?" Peter asked as he held her. He felt his heart beat faster when he felt her skin against his. Her beauty was tempting. "My foot is sprained." Elaine replied, feeling embarrassed. Her face turned hot as she felt his touch. In slow, careful steps, Peter held Elaine as they walked to a nearby restaurant. The people in the restaurant shot curious glances at the sight of the couple entering, especially with Elaine's uniform. Their eyes followed the new guests as they walked to find a table. Peter helped Elaine to her seat, took his own, and breathed a big sigh of relief. He surely enjoyed the fight, but inside, he knew that it did get a little out of hand. The adrenaline felt good, but it wasn't enough to erase the pain and frustration inside him. "Please give me a bowl of your most expensive noodles, with additional meat." Peter said to the waiter. HAHA. The people around them started exchanging smirks and mocking glances. They felt bad for Elaine thinking that her cheapskate boyfriend took her on a date to this low-end restaurant, while she was clearly a woman of class. "Sorry I couldn't take you somewhere nicer. I've been having trouble finding a job. I'm kind of running out of money." Peter confessed, ignoring the murmurs. He really had no money and he didn't pretend to be a rich man. "It's OK. I'll pay," Elaine said, growing more and more curious about Peter. He could have taken advantage of her while they were walking if he wanted to. She would have been too weak to fight back. Still, he didn't. Also, he was genuine and honest about his situation. She preferred this kind of man over rich hypocrites. Suddenly, she had an idea.? "You mentioned you were having trouble finding a job? You're fast and strong, and our company needs a bodyguard. Why don't you try applying in our company?" "What? Really? Sure, of course!" Peter replied excitedly. Peter had been trying to find a job the whole week. He never knew how difficult it was to find one until he experienced it himself. He even considered taking a job in the construction site —moving bricks and carrying cement —just because it was the only job he could find where they didn't need an extensive educational background. Naturally, it was impossible for him to not be excited about the opportunity Elaine mentioned. He would choose security work over construction, any day, except that even security guards were required to have college degrees. This immediately disqualified Peter, to his disappointment. "Alright, then. Find me at the Personal Section of Silverland Group on the tenth floor, at ten o'clock, sharp. Tell the receptionist you have an appointment with me. I'll be the one to make arrangements. Don't be late." Elaine was afraid he would refuse her again the way he did when she invited him to get dinner. Now that he agreed, Elaine made sure he wouldn't back out. "Okay, I won't. Thank you! Thank you so much!" Peter became even more excited as the idea sunk in. He knew that this was a really great opportunity. Although Peter has only been back to A city for a week, he has already heard of the reputation of Silverland Group. They were one the of ten biggest companies and best employers in the city; even security guards were well-paid. It was difficult to land a security job, though. Apart from having a college degree, a recommendation from company management was a requirement. It would be a true honor to be part of Silverland Group's security roster. They exchanged contact information after the meal before going their separate ways. ?"Don't be late, okay?", Elaine reminded. ?"I won't!" he promised. Peter looked for a place to celebrate the highlight of his job hunt. He decided to go to a bar called Sunny. Guests flowed in as the crowd of young people danced to the heavy metal music in the background. The women in the bar wore clothes that revealed long legs, ample bosoms, sexy backs, and shapely bodies. The air was steamy, in more ways than one. College students and corporate employees frequented the place. The carefree youngsters, sophisticated professionals, and enchanting women made Sunny a great go-to whether you're looking for a place to chill, or to let loose. Beer in hand, Peter watched the attractive girls on the dance floor, from a seat at the corner. He felt good. This was the first time he got to relax since he arrived at the city. "Hey, is this seat taken?" He heard a cool voice ask. ??Turning to ask the speaker to find a seat somewhere else, he froze as he found an exceptionally beautiful girl looking back at him. She's probably around twenty-three or twenty-four. She didn't look like she was wearing makeup, but she still looked extremely beautiful with her clean, sharp eyebrows, full lips and pretty nose. Her black mesh dress was modest, compared to all the other girls in the bar. It didn't show much skin, but it didn't fail to show off her perfect figure, Small waist, and long legs, either. Elaine, to Peter, was a goddess. While her beauty was definitely breathtaking, it would still be possible to get her attention with enough effort. This girl, though, was a fairy: completely and surely unattainable. It made him wonder what she's doing in this stuffy bar. Without waiting for him to respond, the girl took the empty seat from across the table, grabbed the nearest beer, and began to drink. She paid no notice of Peter's shock. He found it difficult to reconcile the sight of the drunkard in front of him, with the dainty fairy he imagined her to be. Also, the price of the beer was thirty-eight dollars! He felt extremely distressed. One bottle... Two bottles... Three bottles... Four bottles... 'When is this girl gonna stop?!' As if on cue, the girl carelessly put down her last bottle of beer, dropped her head on her arms, rested them on the table, and began to cry. Peter sat, dumbstruck. Chapter 3 The Girl With An Angelic Body, But An Evil Heart "Hey, hey, hey. Listen to me, lady. If you're gonna cry, take it somewhere else. People here are gonna think I did something to you!" He could already feel the suspicious glances of the people around them. A girl this beautiful would easily be targeted by douchebags who wanted to score, as soon as she entered the bar. Peter groaned. "Shut up! I'm going to cry as much as I want, you stinky men. You're all BASXXRDS! Good-for-nothing asshxxes!" Hysterically, the girl stood, grabbed Peter's shoulders and started beating his chest, shouting and crying. Peter felt even more embarrassed with the scene the girl was causing. And yet, he couldn't simply shove her away as that would even make him look worse! He felt so helpless to do anything. If only there was an easy, decent way to just knock her unconscious. "Hey, STOP! You're right. All men are bad. We're all JERKS. Now, can you stop crying? Calm down. Sit, let's drink and talk about it. Maybe I can help you, " Peter managed to say despite the annoyance he felt. 'This girl is nut. What did I ever do to her?' he thought. "NO!" she said in defiance. "You're just like all of them! You're all asshxxes!" She screamed. Peter was at a loss on what to do. In his attempt to scout for someone who could help, He caught sight of a bare-armed burly man covered in tattoos, followed by a band of equally-fearsome hooligans with dyed hair. It was clear that they were gangsters. Their posture showed no fear. Clearly, they had established their dominance in this part of town. "Hey, asshxxe. Get your hands off my sister! You dare touch her, huh? You DARE TOUCH HER? You're asking for DEATH!" The bare-armed man said as he walked towards him, eyes burning with rage, fists clenched tight. 'Are you blind?!' Peter thought. 'Can't you see that your sister is the one holding me? Who the fxxk is this ugly pighead? It's impossible for you and this beautiful girl to be related!' Before Peter could say a word, the girl suddenly made a move that stunned everyone. Abruptly, she stopped crying, grabbed hold of an empty bottle on the table, and smashed it on the bare-armed man's head. "Sister? Who are you calling sister? I would be damned to be related to someone as ugly as you! Do you think you can just take advantage of me like that?" She said as the bottle hit the man again. The impact was enough to cause pain, but not injury. "How dare you hit me! You're dead meat! You'll both be wishing you were dead once we're done with you." The man ordered his men while feeling at his beaten head. "You dare to insult me. You are going to DIE." In a drunken rage, the girl held the bottle in her hand tighter, ready to fight. Peter grabbed her and pulled her behind him. He grabbed one bottle on each hand and prepared as they approached. PLA! With one swift movement, he smashed the bottle in his left hand against the bare-armed man's head. The bottle broke, and the man's skull along with it. PLA! The bottle in his right hand hit the second man squarely on the face, blood spurting everywhere. With a thud, he fell on the ground. Without stopping, Peter lifted his leg and delivered kicks in succession, as more men approached. CRACK, POW, PLA! One by one, six or seven men fell to the ground, screaming with pain. A small crowd started to gather around the scene, while some people decided to quietly leave the bar in fear of getting involved and putting themselves in danger. For a while, the bar was in chaos. "WOW! Nice shot! Punch him in the face! Beat them to death! Give these bastxxds what they deserve!" The girl didn't seem at all distressed about the situation. She even seemed rather amused and greatly entertained. "What, are you crazy?? We have to run!" Peter cried as he pulled her in, hurriedly making their way out of the bar As the bar's security personnel were fast approaching them. Had they not made their exit, they would have been caught! Although Peter didn't care much about being involved in messy situations, he decided that it was best to avoid trouble. "Why are we going? I haven't had enough yet! Let me go!" The girl stubbornly struggled to escape his grip. Losing his patience, Peter grabbed the girl, covered her mouth and fled, taking advantage of the chaos. 'She is really not afraid to get herself in trouble, ' Peter thought. 'This girl is giving me a headache.' Peter kept running until he found a corner that was not visible from the bar. His frustration crept up to him. 'Why do these things have to happen just when I'm already happy and relaxed?' He decided that he never wanted to see this girl again, and he would do his best to make sure of that. "Gosh, I am so tired and my feet are killing me! I haven't had that much fun in ages! ? Oh by the way, handsome. I'm Bella Song. What's your name WeChat number?" Bella asked Peter. All she wanted that night was to drink away her sorrows. Who would have thought something as exciting as this would happen? Now she felt so much better. Bella felt drawn to Peter because, despite his strong and masculine facade, he had a kind aura and gentle demeanor. Compared to all the other people in the bar, he looked like the most honest of them all. She never would have expected that someone who seemed to be as good-natured as him could actually throw punches the way he did. Peter proceeded to hail a cab at the sidewalk, ignoring Bella's question. As soon as he got one, he grabbed Bella and shoved her into the taxi. ? "Name or phone number is not necessary. I want this to be the last time I'll see you. Clear? Bye bye." "You bastxxd!" Bella said before the taxi door closed in front of her. Pissed, she stopped the cab and got off, determined to give the asshxxe a piece of her mind. By the time she managed to climb down, though, he was already gone. 'How dare you treat me like this. You'll be sorry the next time I see you, ' Bella thought sitting angrily as her cab drove away. Chapter 4 You Are Not Strong Enough Peter took a shower as soon as he got home. He had a very long and eventful day, and he immediately fell asleep as soon as he hit his pillow. At 9:45 am the next morning, Peter arrived at Silverland Group, clean-shaven and ready for his appointment. Greeting the beautiful receptionist and jotting his name down to log-in, he then proceeded to the Human Resources office on the 10th floor and knocked gently. "Come in, please." Peter opened the door and walked in with the beautiful female voice. He found Elaine on her desk, organizing a bunch of files in front of her. The office was a little bit stuffy, so the coat she wore the day was hung at a rack beside her table. She wore a white checkered skirt with the top buttons unfastened. Peter quickly decided to look away, diverting his gaze to the nameplate on her table: "Elaine Dai, President for Human Resource" Peter was surprised. He didn't expect Elaine to hold such a high position. She was not just an ordinary working professional, she was one of the top dogs in this multi-million dollar company! Surely she was earning a lot of money! Peter assumed that she was an entry-level HR staff, at best. "I'm so glad to see you here, Peter, " She said smiling as she finished, setting aside the folders in front of her. She stood and handed him a set of cleanly bound documents. "I've arranged it for you. Fill the application forms up and then I'll walk you to the Security Department." Peter thanked her and started writing down his details. When he finished, Elaine personally escorted him to the Security office. Peter could see the other employees exchange jealous and curious glances at the sight of their beautiful HR president personally escorting a new applicant. Elaine was known to be one of the most beautiful employees in the company. She always looked approachable, but it wasn't easy to get close to her. It was known that several CEOs from other companies were refused when they tried to ask her out. Outside of her professional duties, this was the first time they saw her pay much attention to a guy. 'This guy must be really special, ' the employees thought. The security office staff did not do a very good job hiding their surprise when Elaine walked into their office accompanying a new applicant. To them, Elaine was a goddess: impossible to get close to. They barely even see her around. She introduced Peter and left, turning him over to their care. Soon later, Peter received the news that he was accepted into the company as a security guard. His area of assignment: the reception hall. For this, he would be working with Jack, his senior. Jack was about 30 years old, his face aged with experience. "Hey, buddy, I heard Miss Dai took you here in person. You must have a really strong backer from the higher-ups. I might need your help in the future." Jack said as he approached to shake his new partner's hand. "Nah. I don't know anyone up there. I just happen to be Miss Dai's friend." Peter immediately clarified. Rumors about "connections" he might have with management might cause trouble —not just for Peter, but also for Elaine —so Peter thought it was best to avoid them. He decided that he would keep a low profile. "Haa, you guys don't look like ''friends'. You guys look like you're in a very happy relationship! Hahaha" Jack kept teasing, Testing Peter's patience. Peter wanted nothing more but for his senior to stop talking. Ignoring Jack's further remarks, Peter proceeded to the reception hall, taking in his surroundings. The two receptionists got his attention. 'Wow, ' he thought, 'even the receptionists here are very beautiful and fashionable.' They wore a white shirt paired with a black vest as their uniform. The rest of their outfit was mostly covered by the desk in front of them. "Hey, newbie, come here." A voice interrupted his thoughts. Peter rushed over as soon as he realized where the voice was coming from. "Sir, what's the matter?" It was Eric Zhen, Peter's new supervisor, the man Elaine introduced when they entered the Security Office. Peter thought it's best to be on the man's good side. "Come with me so I can orient you about how we do things in the company." Eric said sharply, going to the Security Office. Peter followed him without a word. Jack followed quietly. The Security Office of Silverland Group turns out to be bigger than a conference room. There were sofas for security staff to rest on, and a lot of exercise equipment that they could use. "Hey newbie, what's your name again?" Eric asked, scrunching his eyebrows. "Peter, sir. Peter Wang." He reluctantly replied. He had a bad feeling about what was going to happen next. "OK, Peter, good." Suddenly, Eric let out a thunderous laugh. "I just wanted to ask if there's anything between you and Miss Dai! So what is it, eh? Are you together?" "We're just friends." Peter answered. "Is that so?" Eric raised one eyebrow, clearly unconvinced. Peter's answer wasn't what he expected. He apparently received orders from his own superior to check in on these two's relationship status. "Yes." Peter nodded. "Good, very good!" Eric was disappointed and angry. Now that Peter could not tell the truth by common inquiry, it was better to teach him a lesson by force. "Okay. Now let me give you a taste of how we do things here as a security staff. First, you have to be strong. Second, you have to handle stress well. Right now, I want you to show me if you're capable enough for this job." With that, Eric clenched his fists and got ready to fight. His bones cracked as he did his stretches. People in the room started to take notice. They felt nervous for Peter, knowing that Eric was a fearsome fighter. He used to be assigned as a Special Forces agent in the military where he got extensive training. It was known that he could beat up seasoned soldiers by the number. Peter stood no chance. This "orientation" would surely not end well. People in the room wanted this to excite their nerve. "Mr. Zhen, " Jack suddenly said. "Peter is new to the team and he's clearly no match for you. May I have the honor to take your place, instead?" Underneath a goofy and laid-back facade, Jack was highly perceptive and he wanted to make sure no one would be hurt. Eric was angry with Peter and the fight would leave Peter seriously injured. "Are you trying to say something? I'm your supervisor and I don't like being interrupted." Asserting his authority, Eric thew Jack a heavy punch. This took Jack by surprise, making him unable to dodge. He fell on the ground with his mouth bleeding. Eric didn't hold back with that punch. Peter looked at Jack with gratitude, and at Eric with outrage. He did not expect Jack to be hurt because he stood up for him. After all, Jack said those words with so much respect. Had he known, he surely would have been able to do something to prevent it from happening the way it did. "Hey, newbie. Ready?" Eric asked Peter, ignoring the fallen Jack. "I AM READY." Peter said, eager for revenge. He told Eric his name but he kept calling him "newbie" to humiliate him. "Fine." Eric snorted. Swiftly, he grabbed Peter's neck and shot his knee up to hit his abdomen. Peter clenched his teeth. It looked like Eric underestimated him thinking that the simple move would be enough to beat him. It was clear that the man sized Peter up totally. Within a millisecond of seeing his opponent's leg flex, Peter moved his body to avoid the incoming kick and smoothly sidestepped to bring himself behind Eric. Peter locked the man's two arms from the back, making it impossible for him to throw more punches. With incredible strength, Peter pulled Eric back, making him lose his balance. Establishing a good advantage, Peter delivered a strong knee up against his back. BANG! Eric screamed in pain as he started to fall on the ground. Mid-air, Peter elbowed him squarely on the face, accelerating his fall. Eric finally fell, unable to stand up again. Short and clean. That was a good fight. Chapter 5 The Bad Brothers Sounds of heavy breaths filled the room that now grew very quiet. Eyes wide open, the security guards in the area didn't expect what happened. "Mr. Zhen, forgive me of forgetting your name. You're right, though. You do need a strong body to qualify as a good leader, " Peter said cooly. Eric tried to get up but failed. He felt like he wanted to spit out blood. He yelled at the guards in the room, "What are you doing, you stupid pigs! Beat the crap out of this guy! I'll back you up if anything happens! I'm the boss here! Follow my orders, or leave!" Eric would not let his authority be questioned like that, especially in front of his men. The guards hesitated. They didn't enjoy being called insulting names either. They knew they'd only get beaten up as the guy was clearly stronger than Eric. But Eric was their leader; they knew they had to do as they were told. Before he could enforce his orders, Peter decided to finish him off with one big kick. Peter kicked Eric so hard so fast that Eric immediately blacked out. He already beat the crap out of Eric. He didn't mind adding one more solid blow. He did not want to fight all the guards. It was enough to have friction with Eric, but he couldn't risk being on the bad side of all the other guards. "Call 120!" "Take him to the hospital!" The guards were smart enough not to fight Peter. They focused instead on attending to Eric and carrying him out. Peter and Jack were left alone in the room. "Jack, are you OK?" Peter asked Jack. "I'm good." Jack shook his head, with a frightened gaze at Peter, his hand clutching his chest. He didn't expect Peter to be such a strong fighter. "Ok, then. Let's get to work." Peter smiled as if nothing happened. Jack grinned. "Hey, buddy. I like your attitude, but you offended Eric. I'd bet good money you won't be allowed to stay anymore. He's the cousin of the Head of Security, Bob Zhen. I'm sure he won't let you off the hook. Bob is much tougher than Eric. He has really strong connections with some big guy, he'll be a difficult person to be up against. I'd be calling Miss Dai right about now if I were you." Jack suggested, genuinely concerned about Peter's predicament. "What? Nah." Peter waved away the suggestion. "Why bother Miss Dai with such a small issue? Plus, I don't believe the Silverland Group would fire me for an incident as petty as this." 'Besides, what would I tell her? That I beat the team leader to death in less than 2 minutes at work? Haha, nothing good will ever come from that.' Asking for Elaine's help was the last thing Peter wanted to do in this situation. In the reception hall, Peter went about his day as he would normally. The two receptionists saw Eric being carried out by the other security guards earlier that day, and after hearing what happened, started to admire Peter secretly for what he had done. Apparently, Eric had been harassing them with crude jokes and indecent proposals, for the longest time. It drove them crazy but they couldn't say anything because of his position in the company. They felt as if what Peter did was a stand against him for all the abuse he has caused them, and they appreciated it very much. "Hey girls. Is everything okay? Do I have something on my face?" Peter asked when he noticed their quick glances. 'Hmm, do I look handsome today? Is spring coming? Why have I been encountering so many pretty girls who seem to pay me special attention?' he thought. He met Elaine and that moody fairy yesterday, and now these two attractive girls seemed to fancy him as well. The girls just giggled when he came over to ask them what was wrong with the way he looked, the girl on the left even looking down shyly, hiding her flushed cheeks. The girl on the right was a little bolder. She leaned forward and put her chin on her bent fist, flashing him a very seductive look. "Peter, you are so handsome. How about grabbing dinner with me tonight?" "What? Really?" Peter hurriedly felt his pockets. "I don't think I have enough money. Do I have to pay the bill?" Jack thought, overhearing the conversation. 'Why not just go out with me, pretty lady? I have money. I'll get you whatever you want to eat.' "Hahahahaha!" The girl burst out laughing. "Oh Peter, you are so silly! Relax, you don't have to pay the bill. I'm Shelly Huang. And this is my friend, Lisa Ye." Shelly said pointing at her friend. "Nice to meet you." "Hi, " Peter said with a smile. "My name is Peter Wang. Peter actually means 'stone' in Greek, and..." Peter's introduction was cut short with a yell coming from across the room. "HEY, PRETTY BOY. What are you doing? This is office hour. Who gave you permission to fool around? Come here!" A 6-foot tall burly man of thirty towered over him with a glare that could have made an average man scared shxtless. Shelly and Lisa exchanged worried looks. Even Jack turned pale. "Uhh, Peter, this is Bob Zhen, Head of Security." Shelly managed to say. "Mr. Zhen is..." "No one asked you to speak, lady! Who do you think you are? I'll have a word with your manager!" Shelly trembled. Peter's eyes narrowed. 'Is this Silverland Group, or the back alleys? This feels more like a gang than a company to me!' Peter now saw how accurate these names were. "You must be Peter Wang. I've heard a LOT about you. I heard you were the BEST —the best at disrespecting authority and flirting on the job on the first day at work, that is, " Bob said sarcastically. "Listen, boy, " he said with his face only a few inches away from Peter's. "I don't care where you came from, or who you think you are. You're fired. Also, we called the police. You hurt people and you are going to pay. They should be here to arrest you soon." Bob said, pointing his finger directly at Peter. "But.. he started it. He attacked me first. He said it was to test my physical fitness and ability to adapt to stressful situations." Peter said quietly. "Holy shxt! Eric won't do that, you little liar. You started the fight and you hurt him on purpose. That's the story, and that's what the police will believe." 'Little liar?' Peter thought. "That's a lie and you know it. Eric started the fight. He tried to punch me first. What I did was self-defense." "Mr. Zhen." Jack stepped forward and said, "I can testify to what Peter said." "What did you just say?" Bob shouted at Jack. "Testify? Who cares what you say, Jack? Who you think you are?" "I said, " Jack said, emphasizing his every word, "I.. can.. TESTIFY—" ??"You disrespectful piece of —-" Bob roared, and with all his might, threw Jack a big, heavy punch." ------------------------------------------------- Book title : Mighty Soldier King Install Readnow app & continue reading

Text ：Peter Wang felt sad and dejected as he walked out of the Human Resources office. He found it so difficult to accept the result. From where he came, he was feared by all the gangs. They even called him "Mighty Soldier King". Here in the city, he couldn't even find a decent job because he lacked a college degree. Suddenly, his phone rang. Peter noticed and picked it up immediately. "Peter," said the voice from the other line. It was his girlfriend.? "It's over. I'm breaking up with you." "You've been gone for so long. I need a boyfriend, not a phone pal." "Darling, please—" Peter tried to get her back. "I know I've been gone, but I'm back now. I'll always be with you now." "Oh yeah? Well, what can you give me?" "A dishwasher working abroad earns much more money than you." "What exactly can you give me, huh?" she challenged,"Do you even have savings after working all these years? Have you found a single stable job since you got back? Will you be able to give me the things I want?" "I can, I promise! I'll buy you the biggest house you will ever want! Darling, I'm really sorry I've been gone. I'm sorry that we're struggling. I'm having a hard time finding a job in the city, but it will be better soon, I promise. Things will get better, and when they do—" "And how would you do that?", the girl interrupted. "How are things going to get better, Peter? Will you ever get to buy me a BMW car? Will you ever get to buy me a Louis Vuitton handbag? Ferragamo shoes? Chanel suits? Ha! You can't even afford to buy me a-hundred-square-meter house, for Christ's sake." Peter was silent. She sighed. "You don't need to say anything, Peter. I'm tired. I can't deal with this anymore. Goodbye, Peter," she said as she hung up. Peter held his hand-phone tightly, dumbfounded. Despite her muffled voice from the static of his old Nokia, her message was clear as day. "AHHHH! Help! Somebody, help! Thief, thief! That thief stole my bag!" Peter heard someone scream from the other end of the street. A lady in uniform was screaming in panic and desperation, running as fast as her high-heeled shoes would take her. A man with dark sunglasses holding a Louis Vuitton handbag was fleeing from the scene towards a motorcycle. "Go away! Right now!" He shouted to the onlookers as he jumped onto his vehicle. As soon as he did, he crunched his brow, turned the handles and accelerated. In shock, every person on the sidewalk squeezed themselves up to the wall as the motorcycle zoomed past them. Nobody dared block its way. It's risky to be involved in robberies nowadays. Nobody wants to get hurt. The lady in a suit watched the motorcycle drive away, helplessly. The sight infuriated Peter. As the motorcycle approached, he planted his feet firmly on the ground, pulled his left leg back, and with all his might, flung it into the raging vehicle in a strong forceful kick as soon as it passed in front of him. The kick took the man by surprise. He couldn't believe what happened! His motorcycle tumbled sharply and it went spinning on the pavement. The impact threw him to the further end of the road and forced him to drop the stolen bag to the ground. "Ahhhhh!" The pedestrians held their hands to their mouths as they screamed. Peter, indifferent to the commotion, walked to the side of the man, calmly picked up the bag, and handed it to the lady. "Here's your bag, ma'am." "Th-thank you." The lady managed to say when she realized that he was talking to her. She was still stunned from the events that just happened. Peter inspected the lady for half a second before diverting his gaze. "Not at all, it's my pleasure." Peter turned to leave. The lady looked like a corporate professional. He imagined her in her air-conditioned office and exquisite jewelry. 'We come from two different worlds, ' he thought. 'It's useless to think about her.' "Wait a second!" Peter felt a hand grasp his elbow from behind. "I'm Elaine Dai. What's your name? I… just want to thank you for your help," she continued. "Can we have lunch together?" She looked at him as she awaited his response. Peter is at his mid-20's, standing 180 cm tall. His face has well-defined angles on his forehead, cheeks, and jawline. He's not the type that you would notice in a crowd, but he's not bad-looking either. "You're welcome, really. It's no trouble at all. You don't need to take me out for lunch. Thanks for the offer, though. I have to go." Peter pulled his hand away gently as he refused her invitation. He was still thinking about his very recent breakup. Less than an hour ago, the love of his life walked away from him. Apart from that, he's broke and unemployed. It was such a bad time to accept a lunch invite. Elaine stood perplexed at his immediate refusal. For most people, Elaine is a sight to behold. She had light skin and brown hair that emphasized her bright almond eyes. She had men falling at her feet and any of them would have accepted her lunch invite in a heartbeat. But Peter, he just refused her without hesitation. 'Have I lost my charm?' she thought sadly. 'He didn't even tell me his name, ' she realized. Peter was about to walk away when he heard a voice from behind him. "Stop!" It was the man from the motorcycle! He pushed himself up and turned to Peter, holding a sharp, silver blade. He didn't have serious injuries despite his fall. Like a rabid beast, he shot Peter a deadly stare. 'This should have been an easy robbery if he didn't get in the way, ' the man thought. 'It's time to give him a lesson.' "Are you talking to me?" Peter turned to the man, unthreatened. Peter hesitated because the man was badly injured. He stood in disbelief at the challenge thrown at him. "What are you planning to do?" asked Peter "STOP!" Elaine cried. "STOP OR I'LL CALL THE POLICE!" Elaine rushed in front of Peter, holding up her phone. "Call the police?" the motorcycle driver asked manically. "fxxk the police! You'll both be dead by the time they get here!" The man started running towards Elaine, the sun shining brightly against his knife. The people in the street stood frozen in the background. Elaine turned pale. She trembled. She didn't know what to do! Growing up comfortably in the city, she thought these things could only happen in the movies! Peter gasped. 'what the hxll? This man must be crazy if he could stab someone in broad daylight! It seems he hasn't learned his lesson!' The man was about to stab Elaine. But Peter reacted faster. Chapter 2 The Girl He Met In The Bar On reflex, Peter managed to grab the attacker's weapon hand and slap him with his free hand. The man failed to dodge, getting his face bloody and teeth knocked out. In his rage, Peter charged and started to throw the man punch after punch until his face was red and swollen all over. PA PA PA PA PA! Peter punched and kicked with all his strength. He thought about everything that happened today —his breakup, his failure to find a job —and put them all in his fists. He felt no remorse for the troublemaker. "You're lucky this time. The next time you cause trouble again, I swear I'll kill you. Go!" Peter said, dismissing the young man. Realizing his defeat, the man retreated holding on to his battered face. He didn't even dare grab his motorcycle as he ran away. He shot Peter a vengeful look. 'You'll pay for this, ' he thought. Peter ignored him. If he had the balls to come take revenge, Peter would show no mercy! Peter felt good about the skirmish. It was a much-needed release of all the tension he felt for the day. As he was about to leave, he heard Elaine falling down from behind him. Peter quickly turned to keep her from falling. "Are you OK?" Peter asked as he held her. He felt his heart beat faster when he felt her skin against his. Her beauty was tempting. "My foot is sprained." Elaine replied, feeling embarrassed. Her face turned hot as she felt his touch. In slow, careful steps, Peter held Elaine as they walked to a nearby restaurant. The people in the restaurant shot curious glances at the sight of the couple entering, especially with Elaine's uniform. Their eyes followed the new guests as they walked to find a table. Peter helped Elaine to her seat, took his own, and breathed a big sigh of relief. He surely enjoyed the fight, but inside, he knew that it did get a little out of hand. The adrenaline felt good, but it wasn't enough to erase the pain and frustration inside him. "Please give me a bowl of your most expensive noodles, with additional meat." Peter said to the waiter. HAHA. The people around them started exchanging smirks and mocking glances. They felt bad for Elaine thinking that her cheapskate boyfriend took her on a date to this low-end restaurant, while she was clearly a woman of class. "Sorry I couldn't take you somewhere nicer. I've been having trouble finding a job. I'm kind of running out of money." Peter confessed, ignoring the murmurs. He really had no money and he didn't pretend to be a rich man. "It's OK. I'll pay," Elaine said, growing more and more curious about Peter. He could have taken advantage of her while they were walking if he wanted to. She would have been too weak to fight back. Still, he didn't. Also, he was genuine and honest about his situation. She preferred this kind of man over rich hypocrites. Suddenly, she had an idea.? "You mentioned you were having trouble finding a job? You're fast and strong, and our company needs a bodyguard. Why don't you try applying in our company?" "What? Really? Sure, of course!" Peter replied excitedly. Peter had been trying to find a job the whole week. He never knew how difficult it was to find one until he experienced it himself. He even considered taking a job in the construction site —moving bricks and carrying cement —just because it was the only job he could find where they didn't need an extensive educational background. Naturally, it was impossible for him to not be excited about the opportunity Elaine mentioned. He would choose security work over construction, any day, except that even security guards were required to have college degrees. This immediately disqualified Peter, to his disappointment. "Alright, then. Find me at the Personal Section of Silverland Group on the tenth floor, at ten o'clock, sharp. Tell the receptionist you have an appointment with me. I'll be the one to make arrangements. Don't be late." Elaine was afraid he would refuse her again the way he did when she invited him to get dinner. Now that he agreed, Elaine made sure he wouldn't back out. "Okay, I won't. Thank you! Thank you so much!" Peter became even more excited as the idea sunk in. He knew that this was a really great opportunity. Although Peter has only been back to A city for a week, he has already heard of the reputation of Silverland Group. They were one the of ten biggest companies and best employers in the city; even security guards were well-paid. It was difficult to land a security job, though. Apart from having a college degree, a recommendation from company management was a requirement. It would be a true honor to be part of Silverland Group's security roster. They exchanged contact information after the meal before going their separate ways. ?"Don't be late, okay?", Elaine reminded. ?"I won't!" he promised. Peter looked for a place to celebrate the highlight of his job hunt. He decided to go to a bar called Sunny. Guests flowed in as the crowd of young people danced to the heavy metal music in the background. The women in the bar wore clothes that revealed long legs, ample bosoms, sexy backs, and shapely bodies. The air was steamy, in more ways than one. College students and corporate employees frequented the place. The carefree youngsters, sophisticated professionals, and enchanting women made Sunny a great go-to whether you're looking for a place to chill, or to let loose. Beer in hand, Peter watched the attractive girls on the dance floor, from a seat at the corner. He felt good. This was the first time he got to relax since he arrived at the city. "Hey, is this seat taken?" He heard a cool voice ask. ??Turning to ask the speaker to find a seat somewhere else, he froze as he found an exceptionally beautiful girl looking back at him. She's probably around twenty-three or twenty-four. She didn't look like she was wearing makeup, but she still looked extremely beautiful with her clean, sharp eyebrows, full lips and pretty nose. Her black mesh dress was modest, compared to all the other girls in the bar. It didn't show much skin, but it didn't fail to show off her perfect figure, Small waist, and long legs, either. Elaine, to Peter, was a goddess. While her beauty was definitely breathtaking, it would still be possible to get her attention with enough effort. This girl, though, was a fairy: completely and surely unattainable. It made him wonder what she's doing in this stuffy bar. Without waiting for him to respond, the girl took the empty seat from across the table, grabbed the nearest beer, and began to drink. She paid no notice of Peter's shock. He found it difficult to reconcile the sight of the drunkard in front of him, with the dainty fairy he imagined her to be. Also, the price of the beer was thirty-eight dollars! He felt extremely distressed. One bottle... Two bottles... Three bottles... Four bottles... 'When is this girl gonna stop?!' As if on cue, the girl carelessly put down her last bottle of beer, dropped her head on her arms, rested them on the table, and began to cry. Peter sat, dumbstruck. Chapter 3 The Girl With An Angelic Body, But An Evil Heart "Hey, hey, hey. Listen to me, lady. If you're gonna cry, take it somewhere else. People here are gonna think I did something to you!" He could already feel the suspicious glances of the people around them. A girl this beautiful would easily be targeted by douchebags who wanted to score, as soon as she entered the bar. Peter groaned. "Shut up! I'm going to cry as much as I want, you stinky men. You're all BASXXRDS! Good-for-nothing asshxxes!" Hysterically, the girl stood, grabbed Peter's shoulders and started beating his chest, shouting and crying. Peter felt even more embarrassed with the scene the girl was causing. And yet, he couldn't simply shove her away as that would even make him look worse! He felt so helpless to do anything. If only there was an easy, decent way to just knock her unconscious. "Hey, STOP! You're right. All men are bad. We're all JERKS. Now, can you stop crying? Calm down. Sit, let's drink and talk about it. Maybe I can help you, " Peter managed to say despite the annoyance he felt. 'This girl is nut. What did I ever do to her?' he thought. "NO!" she said in defiance. "You're just like all of them! You're all asshxxes!" She screamed. Peter was at a loss on what to do. In his attempt to scout for someone who could help, He caught sight of a bare-armed burly man covered in tattoos, followed by a band of equally-fearsome hooligans with dyed hair. It was clear that they were gangsters. Their posture showed no fear. Clearly, they had established their dominance in this part of town. "Hey, asshxxe. Get your hands off my sister! You dare touch her, huh? You DARE TOUCH HER? You're asking for DEATH!" The bare-armed man said as he walked towards him, eyes burning with rage, fists clenched tight. 'Are you blind?!' Peter thought. 'Can't you see that your sister is the one holding me? Who the fxxk is this ugly pighead? It's impossible for you and this beautiful girl to be related!' Before Peter could say a word, the girl suddenly made a move that stunned everyone. Abruptly, she stopped crying, grabbed hold of an empty bottle on the table, and smashed it on the bare-armed man's head. "Sister? Who are you calling sister? I would be damned to be related to someone as ugly as you! Do you think you can just take advantage of me like that?" She said as the bottle hit the man again. The impact was enough to cause pain, but not injury. "How dare you hit me! You're dead meat! You'll both be wishing you were dead once we're done with you." The man ordered his men while feeling at his beaten head. "You dare to insult me. You are going to DIE." In a drunken rage, the girl held the bottle in her hand tighter, ready to fight. Peter grabbed her and pulled her behind him. He grabbed one bottle on each hand and prepared as they approached. PLA! With one swift movement, he smashed the bottle in his left hand against the bare-armed man's head. The bottle broke, and the man's skull along with it. PLA! The bottle in his right hand hit the second man squarely on the face, blood spurting everywhere. With a thud, he fell on the ground. Without stopping, Peter lifted his leg and delivered kicks in succession, as more men approached. CRACK, POW, PLA! One by one, six or seven men fell to the ground, screaming with pain. A small crowd started to gather around the scene, while some people decided to quietly leave the bar in fear of getting involved and putting themselves in danger. For a while, the bar was in chaos. "WOW! Nice shot! Punch him in the face! Beat them to death! Give these bastxxds what they deserve!" The girl didn't seem at all distressed about the situation. She even seemed rather amused and greatly entertained. "What, are you crazy?? We have to run!" Peter cried as he pulled her in, hurriedly making their way out of the bar As the bar's security personnel were fast approaching them. Had they not made their exit, they would have been caught! Although Peter didn't care much about being involved in messy situations, he decided that it was best to avoid trouble. "Why are we going? I haven't had enough yet! Let me go!" The girl stubbornly struggled to escape his grip. Losing his patience, Peter grabbed the girl, covered her mouth and fled, taking advantage of the chaos. 'She is really not afraid to get herself in trouble, ' Peter thought. 'This girl is giving me a headache.' Peter kept running until he found a corner that was not visible from the bar. His frustration crept up to him. 'Why do these things have to happen just when I'm already happy and relaxed?' He decided that he never wanted to see this girl again, and he would do his best to make sure of that. "Gosh, I am so tired and my feet are killing me! I haven't had that much fun in ages! ? Oh by the way, handsome. I'm Bella Song. What's your name WeChat number?" Bella asked Peter. All she wanted that night was to drink away her sorrows. Who would have thought something as exciting as this would happen? Now she felt so much better. Bella felt drawn to Peter because, despite his strong and masculine facade, he had a kind aura and gentle demeanor. Compared to all the other people in the bar, he looked like the most honest of them all. She never would have expected that someone who seemed to be as good-natured as him could actually throw punches the way he did. Peter proceeded to hail a cab at the sidewalk, ignoring Bella's question. As soon as he got one, he grabbed Bella and shoved her into the taxi. ? "Name or phone number is not necessary. I want this to be the last time I'll see you. Clear? Bye bye." "You bastxxd!" Bella said before the taxi door closed in front of her. Pissed, she stopped the cab and got off, determined to give the asshxxe a piece of her mind. By the time she managed to climb down, though, he was already gone. 'How dare you treat me like this. You'll be sorry the next time I see you, ' Bella thought sitting angrily as her cab drove away. Chapter 4 You Are Not Strong Enough Peter took a shower as soon as he got home. He had a very long and eventful day, and he immediately fell asleep as soon as he hit his pillow. At 9:45 am the next morning, Peter arrived at Silverland Group, clean-shaven and ready for his appointment. Greeting the beautiful receptionist and jotting his name down to log-in, he then proceeded to the Human Resources office on the 10th floor and knocked gently. "Come in, please." Peter opened the door and walked in with the beautiful female voice. He found Elaine on her desk, organizing a bunch of files in front of her. The office was a little bit stuffy, so the coat she wore the day was hung at a rack beside her table. She wore a white checkered skirt with the top buttons unfastened. Peter quickly decided to look away, diverting his gaze to the nameplate on her table: "Elaine Dai, President for Human Resource" Peter was surprised. He didn't expect Elaine to hold such a high position. She was not just an ordinary working professional, she was one of the top dogs in this multi-million dollar company! Surely she was earning a lot of money! Peter assumed that she was an entry-level HR staff, at best. "I'm so glad to see you here, Peter, " She said smiling as she finished, setting aside the folders in front of her. She stood and handed him a set of cleanly bound documents. "I've arranged it for you. Fill the application forms up and then I'll walk you to the Security Department." Peter thanked her and started writing down his details. When he finished, Elaine personally escorted him to the Security office. Peter could see the other employees exchange jealous and curious glances at the sight of their beautiful HR president personally escorting a new applicant. Elaine was known to be one of the most beautiful employees in the company. She always looked approachable, but it wasn't easy to get close to her. It was known that several CEOs from other companies were refused when they tried to ask her out. Outside of her professional duties, this was the first time they saw her pay much attention to a guy. 'This guy must be really special, ' the employees thought. The security office staff did not do a very good job hiding their surprise when Elaine walked into their office accompanying a new applicant. To them, Elaine was a goddess: impossible to get close to. They barely even see her around. She introduced Peter and left, turning him over to their care. Soon later, Peter received the news that he was accepted into the company as a security guard. His area of assignment: the reception hall. For this, he would be working with Jack, his senior. Jack was about 30 years old, his face aged with experience. "Hey, buddy, I heard Miss Dai took you here in person. You must have a really strong backer from the higher-ups. I might need your help in the future." Jack said as he approached to shake his new partner's hand. "Nah. I don't know anyone up there. I just happen to be Miss Dai's friend." Peter immediately clarified. Rumors about "connections" he might have with management might cause trouble —not just for Peter, but also for Elaine —so Peter thought it was best to avoid them. He decided that he would keep a low profile. "Haa, you guys don't look like ''friends'. You guys look like you're in a very happy relationship! Hahaha" Jack kept teasing, Testing Peter's patience. Peter wanted nothing more but for his senior to stop talking. Ignoring Jack's further remarks, Peter proceeded to the reception hall, taking in his surroundings. The two receptionists got his attention. 'Wow, ' he thought, 'even the receptionists here are very beautiful and fashionable.' They wore a white shirt paired with a black vest as their uniform. The rest of their outfit was mostly covered by the desk in front of them. "Hey, newbie, come here." A voice interrupted his thoughts. Peter rushed over as soon as he realized where the voice was coming from. "Sir, what's the matter?" It was Eric Zhen, Peter's new supervisor, the man Elaine introduced when they entered the Security Office. Peter thought it's best to be on the man's good side. "Come with me so I can orient you about how we do things in the company." Eric said sharply, going to the Security Office. Peter followed him without a word. Jack followed quietly. The Security Office of Silverland Group turns out to be bigger than a conference room. There were sofas for security staff to rest on, and a lot of exercise equipment that they could use. "Hey newbie, what's your name again?" Eric asked, scrunching his eyebrows. "Peter, sir. Peter Wang." He reluctantly replied. He had a bad feeling about what was going to happen next. "OK, Peter, good." Suddenly, Eric let out a thunderous laugh. "I just wanted to ask if there's anything between you and Miss Dai! So what is it, eh? Are you together?" "We're just friends." Peter answered. "Is that so?" Eric raised one eyebrow, clearly unconvinced. Peter's answer wasn't what he expected. He apparently received orders from his own superior to check in on these two's relationship status. "Yes." Peter nodded. "Good, very good!" Eric was disappointed and angry. Now that Peter could not tell the truth by common inquiry, it was better to teach him a lesson by force. "Okay. Now let me give you a taste of how we do things here as a security staff. First, you have to be strong. Second, you have to handle stress well. Right now, I want you to show me if you're capable enough for this job." With that, Eric clenched his fists and got ready to fight. His bones cracked as he did his stretches. People in the room started to take notice. They felt nervous for Peter, knowing that Eric was a fearsome fighter. He used to be assigned as a Special Forces agent in the military where he got extensive training. It was known that he could beat up seasoned soldiers by the number. Peter stood no chance. This "orientation" would surely not end well. People in the room wanted this to excite their nerve. "Mr. Zhen, " Jack suddenly said. "Peter is new to the team and he's clearly no match for you. May I have the honor to take your place, instead?" Underneath a goofy and laid-back facade, Jack was highly perceptive and he wanted to make sure no one would be hurt. Eric was angry with Peter and the fight would leave Peter seriously injured. "Are you trying to say something? I'm your supervisor and I don't like being interrupted." Asserting his authority, Eric thew Jack a heavy punch. This took Jack by surprise, making him unable to dodge. He fell on the ground with his mouth bleeding. Eric didn't hold back with that punch. Peter looked at Jack with gratitude, and at Eric with outrage. He did not expect Jack to be hurt because he stood up for him. After all, Jack said those words with so much respect. Had he known, he surely would have been able to do something to prevent it from happening the way it did. "Hey, newbie. Ready?" Eric asked Peter, ignoring the fallen Jack. "I AM READY." Peter said, eager for revenge. He told Eric his name but he kept calling him "newbie" to humiliate him. "Fine." Eric snorted. Swiftly, he grabbed Peter's neck and shot his knee up to hit his abdomen. Peter clenched his teeth. It looked like Eric underestimated him thinking that the simple move would be enough to beat him. It was clear that the man sized Peter up totally. Within a millisecond of seeing his opponent's leg flex, Peter moved his body to avoid the incoming kick and smoothly sidestepped to bring himself behind Eric. Peter locked the man's two arms from the back, making it impossible for him to throw more punches. With incredible strength, Peter pulled Eric back, making him lose his balance. Establishing a good advantage, Peter delivered a strong knee up against his back. BANG! Eric screamed in pain as he started to fall on the ground. Mid-air, Peter elbowed him squarely on the face, accelerating his fall. Eric finally fell, unable to stand up again. Short and clean. That was a good fight. Chapter 5 The Bad Brothers Sounds of heavy breaths filled the room that now grew very quiet. Eyes wide open, the security guards in the area didn't expect what happened. "Mr. Zhen, forgive me of forgetting your name. You're right, though. You do need a strong body to qualify as a good leader, " Peter said cooly. Eric tried to get up but failed. He felt like he wanted to spit out blood. He yelled at the guards in the room, "What are you doing, you stupid pigs! Beat the crap out of this guy! I'll back you up if anything happens! I'm the boss here! Follow my orders, or leave!" Eric would not let his authority be questioned like that, especially in front of his men. The guards hesitated. They didn't enjoy being called insulting names either. They knew they'd only get beaten up as the guy was clearly stronger than Eric. But Eric was their leader; they knew they had to do as they were told. Before he could enforce his orders, Peter decided to finish him off with one big kick. Peter kicked Eric so hard so fast that Eric immediately blacked out. He already beat the crap out of Eric. He didn't mind adding one more solid blow. He did not want to fight all the guards. It was enough to have friction with Eric, but he couldn't risk being on the bad side of all the other guards. "Call 120!" "Take him to the hospital!" The guards were smart enough not to fight Peter. They focused instead on attending to Eric and carrying him out. Peter and Jack were left alone in the room. "Jack, are you OK?" Peter asked Jack. "I'm good." Jack shook his head, with a frightened gaze at Peter, his hand clutching his chest. He didn't expect Peter to be such a strong fighter. "Ok, then. Let's get to work." Peter smiled as if nothing happened. Jack grinned. "Hey, buddy. I like your attitude, but you offended Eric. I'd bet good money you won't be allowed to stay anymore. He's the cousin of the Head of Security, Bob Zhen. I'm sure he won't let you off the hook. Bob is much tougher than Eric. He has really strong connections with some big guy, he'll be a difficult person to be up against. I'd be calling Miss Dai right about now if I were you." Jack suggested, genuinely concerned about Peter's predicament. "What? Nah." Peter waved away the suggestion. "Why bother Miss Dai with such a small issue? Plus, I don't believe the Silverland Group would fire me for an incident as petty as this." 'Besides, what would I tell her? That I beat the team leader to death in less than 2 minutes at work? Haha, nothing good will ever come from that.' Asking for Elaine's help was the last thing Peter wanted to do in this situation. In the reception hall, Peter went about his day as he would normally. The two receptionists saw Eric being carried out by the other security guards earlier that day, and after hearing what happened, started to admire Peter secretly for what he had done. Apparently, Eric had been harassing them with crude jokes and indecent proposals, for the longest time. It drove them crazy but they couldn't say anything because of his position in the company. They felt as if what Peter did was a stand against him for all the abuse he has caused them, and they appreciated it very much. "Hey girls. Is everything okay? Do I have something on my face?" Peter asked when he noticed their quick glances. 'Hmm, do I look handsome today? Is spring coming? Why have I been encountering so many pretty girls who seem to pay me special attention?' he thought. He met Elaine and that moody fairy yesterday, and now these two attractive girls seemed to fancy him as well. The girls just giggled when he came over to ask them what was wrong with the way he looked, the girl on the left even looking down shyly, hiding her flushed cheeks. The girl on the right was a little bolder. She leaned forward and put her chin on her bent fist, flashing him a very seductive look. "Peter, you are so handsome. How about grabbing dinner with me tonight?" "What? Really?" Peter hurriedly felt his pockets. "I don't think I have enough money. Do I have to pay the bill?" Jack thought, overhearing the conversation. 'Why not just go out with me, pretty lady? I have money. I'll get you whatever you want to eat.' "Hahahahaha!" The girl burst out laughing. "Oh Peter, you are so silly! Relax, you don't have to pay the bill. I'm Shelly Huang. And this is my friend, Lisa Ye." Shelly said pointing at her friend. "Nice to meet you." "Hi, " Peter said with a smile. "My name is Peter Wang. Peter actually means 'stone' in Greek, and..." Peter's introduction was cut short with a yell coming from across the room. "HEY, PRETTY BOY. What are you doing? This is office hour. Who gave you permission to fool around? Come here!" A 6-foot tall burly man of thirty towered over him with a glare that could have made an average man scared shxtless. Shelly and Lisa exchanged worried looks. Even Jack turned pale. "Uhh, Peter, this is Bob Zhen, Head of Security." Shelly managed to say. "Mr. Zhen is..." "No one asked you to speak, lady! Who do you think you are? I'll have a word with your manager!" Shelly trembled. Peter's eyes narrowed. 'Is this Silverland Group, or the back alleys? This feels more like a gang than a company to me!' Peter now saw how accurate these names were. "You must be Peter Wang. I've heard a LOT about you. I heard you were the BEST —the best at disrespecting authority and flirting on the job on the first day at work, that is, " Bob said sarcastically. "Listen, boy, " he said with his face only a few inches away from Peter's. "I don't care where you came from, or who you think you are. You're fired. Also, we called the police. You hurt people and you are going to pay. They should be here to arrest you soon." Bob said, pointing his finger directly at Peter. "But.. he started it. He attacked me first. He said it was to test my physical fitness and ability to adapt to stressful situations." Peter said quietly. "Holy shxt! Eric won't do that, you little liar. You started the fight and you hurt him on purpose. That's the story, and that's what the police will believe." 'Little liar?' Peter thought. "That's a lie and you know it. Eric started the fight. He tried to punch me first. What I did was self-defense." "Mr. Zhen." Jack stepped forward and said, "I can testify to what Peter said." "What did you just say?" Bob shouted at Jack. "Testify? Who cares what you say, Jack? Who you think you are?" "I said, " Jack said, emphasizing his every word, "I.. can.. TESTIFY—" ??"You disrespectful piece of —-" Bob roared, and with all his might, threw Jack a big, heavy punch." ------------------------------------------------- Book title : Mighty Soldier King Install Readnow app & continue reading
