Beauty and the Bodyguard

Chapter 4436 You Can Leave Now



Humans would die in pursuit of wealth, and birds would die in pursuit of food. Just like the old saying, there was no such thing as loyalty in this world. Loyalty was only because there were not enough bargaining chips for betrayal. The number of spiritual jades in these treasure chests would directly determine the choice of each participating escort.

If it was really an astronomical number, then all thirty-two escort teams would probably be wiped out. But if it was just an insignificant number, then this test of the People\'s hearts was meaningless. The key to this round was how to set the number.

"Everyone wants to know, right? That\'s too simple. There\'s the same amount of spiritual Jade in all the treasure chests. Just take one out and count it in front of everyone, and we\'ll know!" Boundless sea laughed. He then called over ten staff members and ordered,""To satisfy everyone\'s curiosity, please count all the spiritual jades in this treasure chest!"

"Yes!" The staff immediately did as they were told. They surrounded the chest that boundless sea had casually pulled out and opened it right in front of him. It immediately caused a commotion. It was filled to the brim. It really was filled to the brim with spiritual jades!

The ten staff members began to count the spiritual jades in the treasure chest at the same time. The crowd could not help but swallow their saliva as they watched.

"The test has already begun. I\'m afraid it won\'t be easy." Lin Yi couldn\'t help but shake his head and laugh at the scene.

Counting the spiritual jades in front of everyone did not seem to be anything out of the ordinary, but it had an unparalleled impact on everyone present, especially the participating bodyguards. They might have been able to grit their teeth and resist the temptation, but once time dragged on, they would have to watch the spiritual jades being counted pile up higher and higher. The temptation was not something that ordinary people could resist.

In the whole process, if anyone had any selfish thoughts, they would eventually walk to the opposite side of loyalty under the constant temptation and self-persuasion of the devil. The longer the time dragged on, the higher the possibility of betraying the devil in the end!

"Brother Ling is right. If this goes on, it\'s really hard to say how many people will be able to resist the temptation in the end." Qi Wenhan nodded with a bitter smile."We have to reduce the number of people in every round of the competition. After this year\'s South continent escort party, I don\'t know how many people the escort agency will lose ..."

Needless to say, in the first two rounds, every bodyguard agency was fighting with human lives. However, in the third round, although it looked quiet and there was no danger to speak of, the number of people who were reduced in the end was probably more than the number of people in the first two rounds combined.

After all, if these participating bodyguards couldn\'t resist the temptation and nodded, it meant that they would have to leave the bodyguard agency in the future. For every bodyguard agency, the end result was the same whether they left or died. They would both lose their combat strength.

The ten of them spent the time it takes for half an incense stick to burn before they finally finished counting all the spiritual jades in the treasure chest. Adding them up, it was exactly 50000 spiritual jades!

This amount was already an astronomical figure for most of the people present. They might not be able to save up such a huge amount of wealth even if they worked hard for decades.

Many people were already thirsty from watching. They even wished that they were the participating bodyguards on the field, so that they could take away 50000 spiritual Jade with just a nod. Furthermore, they had the promise of not having to bear any risks from the five major bodyguard agencies. Where else could they find such a good deal in the world?

"It\'s actually 50000 spiritual jades ..." Qi Wenhan was taken aback. The expressions of the other bodyguards around him were more or less unreadable.

In the previous two rounds of the competition, each round was a gamble of one\'s life. The best outcome for the participants was that they would at least be half-crippled even if they were lucky enough not to die. Even so, the reward that Qi Wenhan had offered was only 50000 spiritual jades.

Now, however, the same 50000 spiritual jades were being offered to the randomly selected bodyguards. They did not have to do anything or take any risks. They could easily get what they wanted with just a nod. It would be strange if they were not tempted!

Even the other bodyguards in the audience felt a little unbalanced. Such a good thing had fallen from the sky. Why couldn\'t they get their turn?

"Alright, everyone already knows what they need to know. Now, it\'s up to the participants to make their own choices." Boundless sea faced the crowd and announced,""Listen to my orders. Those who want to take the 50000 spiritual jades and live a carefree life, take three steps forward. Those who do not want the 50000 spiritual jades and continue to be loyal to the bodyguard agency, take three steps back. Start now!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the atmosphere suddenly became tense. Everyone\'s eyes swept back and forth between the 320 bodyguards. No matter who made the slightest move, they would immediately become the focus of the entire scene.

At this time, the ones who were under the most pressure were not the participating bodyguards on the field, but the people in charge of the various bodyguard agencies, such as Qi Wenhan.

After all, when faced with 50000 spiritual jades, the participating escort only had to consider their own personal gains and losses whether they took it or not. They only had to weigh whether the 50000 spiritual jades were worth betraying the escort agency and make a decision accordingly.

However, Qi Wenhan, who was in charge of the bodyguard agency, had to face the gains and losses of the entire bodyguard agency. If they performed well this round, it would be fine if not many bodyguards left. However, if a large number of bodyguards left, it would be a big problem.

At that time, the crisis they would face would not only be the reduction of combat strength, but the reputation of the entire bodyguard agency would also be greatly affected.

Credibility was the foundation of an escort agency, including the five biggest escort agencies with the strongest Foundation. If any escort agency lost the trust of the public, it would be no different from a disaster!

Qi Wenhan stared at the actions of the participants, especially the ten men from his own agency. He was so nervous that he broke out in a cold sweat. Based on his understanding of these ten men, most of them should be fine. However, it was hard to say for the rest. After all, the temptation of 50000 spiritual jades was not to be underestimated.

Finally, under everyone\'s gaze, someone made the first decision. It was an escort from a small escort agency. He took three steps forward.

"Alright, you can go now." Boundless sea immediately had the staff hand a chest to this person!
