Chapter 337: Chapter 356: Confrontation (Part 1)
"Kid, youâre too arrogant!" The two old men approaching Lin Xi snorted coldly and said to him.
Even the other old men were quite angry about Lin Xiâs recent statement.
After all, this group of people was part of the special forces unit in the army back in the day. Each of them had special forces-level skills, and they excelled in different areas. Even when carrying out missions abroad, they showcased the might of our nation.
Itâs just that they got injured frequently when they were young, and as they grew older, their skills declined rapidly. Yet, despite this, they are still more formidable than ordinary police officers. Even a few special forces soldiers might not stand a chance against them, given their expertise in teamwork and years of honing their skills, they can tell what their comrades intend to do with just a glance.
Logically, they should have been doing quite well after retiring.
However, quite the opposite. With their fiery personalities, they have never been ones to take the long way around, and whenever they see injustice, they canât help but speak up or get involved. So before joining Emmy International, they were all guarding run-down communities and small factories for meager pay.
But after Elder Yue saved Bai Bingâs life, their circumstances changed.
For Bai Bing, the new employer, never restrains them from doing anything. Moreover, there are times when she backs them up. The generous salary and excellent benefits are a world apart compared to before.
Since the employer treats them well, they naturally return the favor.
Of course, thatâs not the focus right now. Instead, weâre watching how these two old brothers are going to toss this little bastard out.
In their eyes, how old is Lin Xi anyway? Even if he started training in the womb, could he possibly rival their boundless experience?
"Hold on." Lin Xi raised his hand and spoke to Captain Yue, "Old man, why donât you all come at me together? Otherwise, itâs a waste of time, and Iâm in a hurry to see whatâs going on with my wife!"
"...Arrogance!" Elder Yue snorted coldly.
All come at him together?
This is outrageously conceited!
The other old men remained silent, mostly thinking to themselves that soon enough, Lin Xi would realize how misguided his words were.
And a wife? Your wife, my ass!
"Lin Xi?"
The old man beside Elder Yue, stroking his white beard, looked quite conflicted.
He couldnât understand why he had a slight memory of this name but just couldnât recall it!
Could he truly be old, with fading memories?
Unwilling to yield, he grabbed his head, trying hard to remember.
Captain Yue glanced at him, puzzled, and asked, "Whatâs wrong with you?"
"Nothing, just finding this kidâs name familiar, but I just canât remember when I heard it!" The old man said, looking somewhat frustrated.
"Oh." Captain Yue thought he was physically unwell or something similar, never expecting such a trivial matter to confound him, yet still remarked, "Maybe youâve heard the name before elsewhere..."
The old man nodded, thinking perhaps thatâs it.
Amid their brief exchange, Old Chen and Old Ye, the two old men, each stretched out a hand to grab Lin Xiâs shoulder abruptly.
The next moment, everyone saw the two old men had already grabbed Lin Xiâs shoulder, yet their faces showed delight.
However, by natural bodily reaction, even if Lin Xi couldnât dodge, he wouldnât just stand still. Most would struggle to avoid when grabbed.
But, he didnât; instead, they felt as if this young man just stood there, allowing them to grab him!
So everything he just said was nonsense?
Ah, young people today sure like to brag!
"Hmm?"
As the two tried to lift him together, they saw surprise in each otherâs eyes, for the young man beneath their hands remained immovable!
Their exertion was at fifty percent strength, enough to lift a two-hundred-pound object.
Yet this kid seemed to weigh no more than a hundred and fifty pounds.
"Old Chen, Old Ye, what are you standing around for? Hurry up and toss this kid out!" An old man shouted impatiently, "If you canât, let me do it!"
"Right, are you getting old and weak? Canât even lift a person?"
