Hou Dayong spoke, his gaze shifting toward Ye Luo as a hint of peculiarity flashed in his eyes, "Of course, since youâre a vice chief personally appointed by the president, you donât necessarily need to have genuine qualifications. After all, since the president approves, none of us will say anything."
Listening to Hou Dayongâs words filled with insinuation, Ye Luo still wore a smile on his face and responded, "Minister Hou is right. The Security Department carries a heavy responsibility, it truly shouldnât allow the entry of those without real strength."
"Since that is the case, would the brother known as Hu Zi please step out? Letâs exchange a few moves, and see if I have the ability to hold the position of deputy chief of the Security Department."
As Ye Luo spoke, his gaze turned to Hu Zi, and for a moment, the security guards all wore a look of surprise when looking at him.
It was known that Hu Zi was the strongest in their Security Department before the appearance of Hou Dayong and had been the most likely candidate for the position of chief.
Then, Hou Dayong arrived, and using his own strength, he defeated Hu Zi to become the chief of the Security Department. Regardless, apart from Hou Dayong, Hu Ziâs strength was undoubtedly the strongest among them, and several of them together might still not be a match for him.
And this Vice Chief Ye appeared thin and frail, gentle and quiet, looking like a master who knew nothing, how could he possibly be an opponent for the strong and extraordinary Hu Zi.
"Vice Chief Ye, I think itâs not necessary."
The dark-skinned young man hurriedly spoke up.
"Yes, Vice Chief Ye, Hu Zi doesnât know how to pull his punches. If by any chance you get hurt, it would be difficult for us to explain to the president."
A cold smile emerged at the corner of Hou Dayongâs mouth as he continued.
"Donât worry, if I get injured, I will go speak with the president and resign from the vice chiefâs position,"
Ye Luo said, his lips curving into a slight smile.
"Fine!"
Hu Zi called out in a deep voice, his muscular frame stepping forward like a small mountain, emanating an intense sense of power.
"Bring it on."
Ye Luo stood there with an air of nonchalance, looking quite casual, as the security guards watched the scene with a tense look in their eyes.
At that moment, other employees in the hall couldnât help but gather around to watch the unfolding drama.
"This guy had better not really hurt Vice Chief Ye, or things could get serious,"
The dark-skinned young man looked on with a mix of worry and nervousness as he watched Hu Zi and Ye Luo.
"Ha!"
With a roar, Hu Zi stepped forward and threw a punch directly at Ye Luo, not using much strength, evidently not going full force; he thought that this much power would be enough to defeat the vice chief who had climbed the ranks through connections.
As Hu Ziâs attack came, Ye Luoâs smile widened, and with a slight tilt of his head, he effortlessly dodged the incoming blow.
Seeing his strike evaded, Hu Ziâs eyes flashed with surprise before he launched another punch, this time much faster, the fist creating a gust of wind as it fiercely aimed at Ye Luo.
"This guy isnât afraid of causing trouble," the dark-skinned man said, his fists clenched tight, looking anxious.
As for Hou Dayong, he stood to one side, arms crossed, watching the scene unfold with a cold expression.
Smack!
Facing Hu Ziâs powerful punch, Ye Luo casually swung his hand, deflecting the fist to the side, then followed up with a strange slap on his opponentâs chest, releasing a surge of internal energy.
Instantly, Hu Ziâs body trembled, and he staggered back several steps.
"Shall we continue?"
Ye Luoâs gaze met Hu Ziâs, who with a tensed expression, said, "You do have some skills."
After these words, Hu Zi burst forth, fists clenched, as True Qi coursed through his body, a terrifying aura enveloping him.
The Late Houtian Level strength was now on full display, clearly showing the formidable capability of Hu Zi.
Although these security guards were all seasoned fighters, the strongest among them were merely at the Middle Stage of the Acquired Realm, certainly no match for Hu Zi.
Hu Zi unleashed his full strength, causing everyone present to feel a jolt in their hearts as they started to worry for Ye Luo.
But clearly, their worries were unnecessary.
Despite Hu Ziâs impressive momentum and formidable strength, he didnât stand a chance against Ye Luo.
Watching Hu Ziâs fierce punch coming towards him, Ye Luo didnât dodge at all and directly threw a punch out. The two fists, packed with power, collided, unleashing a muffled sound and a fierce burst of energy that brought about a strong gust of wind.
Ye Luo stood unmoved, while Hu Zi was pushed back more than a dozen steps, almost losing his footing with his arm trembling slightly.
"This..."
Seeing the outcome of this battle, the group of security guards were somewhat stunned, even Hou Dayong, who had been looking forward to the spectacle, had his eyes fixed on Ye Luo with a flash of surprise.
"No way, Vice Chief Ye is that strong?"
"Yeah, and he completely defeated Hu Zi in his specialty, strength. You know, even Chief Hou has to step back a few steps when facing Hu Ziâs full-powered punch. Vice Chief Ye didnât even move an inch. Thatâs amazing."
The security guards whispered amongst themselves, their eyes filled with admiration as they looked at Ye Luo.
"Hu Zi, are you alright?"
The dark-skinned man asked Hu Zi with concern.
"Iâm fine."
Hu Zi shook his head and looked at Ye Luo, "I lost. Youâre stronger than me."
"So, I suppose no one objects to me becoming the Deputy Chief of the security department now."
Ye Luo said with a smile, looking at the people around him.
Immediately, they all shook their heads, their eyes filled with reverence as they looked at Ye Luo.
"Youâre called Hu Zi, right? What did you use to do?"
Ye Luoâs gaze turned to Hu Zi.
"I was in the special forces. After I was discharged, I came to the Ling Corporation."
Hu Zi said gravely.
"And you?"
Ye Luoâs gaze then swept toward the dark-skinned young man.
"Iâm Hei Zi. Hu Zi and I were both in the special forces, and we were discharged together."
Hei Zi hastily explained, looking at Ye Luo.
"Hei Zi? Thatâs a good name."
Ye Luo looked at his dark complexion and chuckled.
"Heh heh, Iâve had dark skin since I was a kid, so my family called me Hei Zi directly."
Hei Zi said with an embarrassed smile.
"Vice Chief Ye, you really donât reveal your true capabilities, impressive, impressive."
Hou Dayongâs eyes turned to Ye Luo, his face showing a smile as he spoke.
"Not at all, Iâm nowhere as formidable as Chief Hou. What I did was just a little skill."
Ye Luo met Hou Dayongâs gaze, squinting slightly with a meaningful smile on his lips.
