“Humph!”

However, the one-eyed second-in-command of the Flood Dragon Gang snorted loudly.

The men next to him simply squeezed through the crowd and stood at the entrance of the courtyard.

Those who intended to challenge Dian Wei hesitated.

“On the other hand, to show the sincerity of the Dragon City Chamber of Commerce, whoever can endure one attack from the man next to me will get ten taels of gold even if you don’t want to work as a guard!”

Seeing that, Ji Ye wasn’t angry at all but made use of the superpower of money again!

“Do you mean it?”

Hearing that, the crowd couldn’t wait anymore.

“Of course I do. The county magistrate is a witness here, right?”

Ji Ye looked back at the county magistrate.

“Ah!”

The county magistrate was actually quite astounded himself. He had seen few people as extravagant as the strangers.

Such a huge tray of gold was an astonishing amount of wealth even in the world of A Chinese Ghost Story where the prices were higher. Even if he swallowed half of the gold and gave the other half to the provincial governor, it would still be enough to mobilize several hundred soldiers.

Yet this guy was using so much money to hire the warriors who only knew how to fight on the streets?

“Yes, I am a witness to his promise!”

However, even though he felt sorry about the gold, he was too cunning to undermine Dragon City here, especially when the second-in-command of the Flood Dragon Gang was looking at the guy angrily.

“I’m in!”

“I came first!”

“The gold is mine!”

Endorsed by the county magistrate, someone finally ignored the Flood Dragon Gang’s threat and stood out.

After all, even if they really pissed off the Flood Dragon Gang, they could always walk away after winning the gold.

If the Flood Dragon Gang were to stop everybody from making money, it would infuriate everybody in Guobei County. It couldn’t fight against so many people even though it was the greatest gang!

“This place doesn’t have enough space. Let’s go to the open ground outside of the city first.”

Ji Ye, however, wasn’t in a rush.

Dragon City was hiring guards with gold because it wanted to gather every capable man in the city.

While many people had gathered outside of the county office, most were here to support the Flood Dragon Gang.

When they moved out of the county office and walked on the street, almost every warrior in Guobei County knew that someone was hiring guards with a high price.

However, it was obvious that the people of the Flood Dragon Gang wouldn’t let it go easily.

“Let’s get started!”

When the contest finally began...

“I’ll go first!”

Right next to the second-in-command of the Flood Dragon Gang, a bald ferocious man, who held a giant axe in his left hand and an iron chain around his right hand, stepped up to the battlefield ahead of everybody else.

“What’s going on? Why is Ma Laoliu there?”

“That’s right! Isn’t he from the Flood Dragon Gang? Why is he joining the competition? Is he going to betray the Flood Dragon Gang? Is he not afraid of retaliation?”

“Why on earth would Ma Laoliu betray? He’s a trusted subordinate to One-Eyed Dragon, the second-in-command of the Flood Dragon Gang...”

“I got it. The Flood Dragon Gang has sent him to kill that guy so that the Dragon City Chamber of Commerce can’t hire anyone or give us any gold.”

The crowd seethed with complaints.

“Humph!”

However, the one-eyed second-in-command of the Flood Dragon Gang snorted again and suppressed their discussions. It was actually quite smart of him to come up with this plan to disrupt the recruitment.

However, the plan could only succeed if Ma Laoliu could defeat or even kill Dian Wei.

Actually, when Ma Laoliu, who looked ferocious, walked to Dian Wei with the axe and the chain and was about to let out some trash talk...

“You...”

Dian Wei raised his head and looked at the guy expressionlessly.

In the next moment, Ma Laoliu’s pupils contracted, and his body trembled hard. He stopped talking.

Then, he simply stood still.

“Why is he still not moving?”

“Start fighting already!”

“I got it now. This is a competition of the top experts. They’re both looking for their opponent’s weakness...”

After a long time, seeing that Ma Laoliu was still not attacking, the crowd became impatient.

After all, the Flood Dragon Gang wasn’t really a ruler in Guobei County. People were inevitably angry about it when it stopped them from making money.

“Ma Laoliu, what are you waiting for? Go for it!”

In the crowd, the second-in-command of the Flood Dragon Gang couldn’t hold it back anymore and roared.

Whoosh!

The moment he roared, Ma Laoliu fell to the ground on Dian Wei’s opposite side. His face was pale, and blood was gushing out of his facial organs. He trembled and lost control of his bladder and bowel, as if he had been completely horrified.

“W-What’s going in?”

“Has he been enchanted?”

“Is this guy capable of evil spells?”

Ma Laoliu looked miserable and more or less creepy.

As a result, even though many people were greedy about the gold, none was willing to be the second challenger.

“I-I’d like to challenge you...”

At this moment, a young and slightly scared voice came.

A young man in filthy clothes, who was about thirteen years old, stepped into the arena with a broken saber that was covered in cloth!

“Huh, isn’t he the beggar from the temple in the south of the city?”

“Exactly. It’s said that he’s a child of a guilty official who was exiled to this place. His parents died of illness, and he lives with his sister like a rat. He doesn’t know any martial art, does he?”

“He thinks he’s qualified to be a bodyguard?”

“Damn right. Even Ma Laoliu didn’t have a chance to attack. How can he possibly survive one attack?”

“Hush! Stop talking! We’ll just let this boy test him for us!”

The swordsmen talked to each other jokingly.

Pew!

Dian Wei smashed the young man’s broken saber, easily knocking it away.

At the same time, the young man vomited blood and fell to the ground ten meters away.

“Brother!”

In the crowd, an emaciated little girl, whose head was so big that her legs looked like tiny bamboo poles, cried and ran to the collapsed young man.

“Cough, cough...”

Then, the little girl was delighted to see the young man sitting up from the ground in confusion. Even though he was vomiting blood, he felt a lot more comfortable as his internal wounds due to other people’s beating were eased.

“Okay, you endured one attack from him. You may take ten taels of gold.

“You can challenge him again if you think you can!”

Ji Ye’s voice came, and an Iron Buddha picked up a golden ingot from the tray.

“I won’t challenge him again. I’m here for the guardian job. Please let me and my sister come with you!”

The young man in ragged clothes, however, didn’t accept the gold immediately. Instead, he fell on his knees. The girl next to him did the same.

Ji Ye looked at the young man and said calmly, “Very good! You will be the first guard that the Dragon City Chamber of Commerce hires in this place.”

“Little sister, come with me.”

Nie Xiaoqian, with her face covered in a veil, walked to the little girl and rubbed her head, not caring that she was very dirty.

She saw herself in the little girl.

“What’s happening?”

“Ma Laoliu is one of the best warriors here. He even killed a few wolves outside the Lanruo Temple. Yet he was knocked down without the courage to make a move!”

“And this little beggar endured one punch and passed the test?”

“Something is definitely wrong!”

The scene was rather puzzling for some people.

However, the smart people realized something.

“Me! Me!”

A man who wielded a saber went to the arena.

“This man does want to work as our guard. Chief Dian, you can go easy on him!”

The Mind Reading player from Dragon City moved his lips and spoke to Dian Wei via the micro walkie-talkie.

“Ah, ah... I’ve made it!”

Soon, the Ordinary Rank-7 warrior, smashed by Dian Wei’s fist that looked like a roaring dragon, was flung almost twenty meters back.

When he fell on the ground, he found that he was sweating but not actually wounded. He ran back delightedly and fetched a glittering gold ingot from the Iron Buddha’s tray. Then, he stood in the team of the newly-hired guards who all congratulated him.

“I am Du Qi of the Iron Fist Sect!”

A skinny man, who wore a pair of gloves that were as pointy as the fangs of a wolf, charged at Dian Wei aggressively.

“He’s a spy that the Flood Dragon Gang sent to another gang...”

Then, after a clash with Dian Wei, the man’s metal gloves exploded, and he was covered in his own blood.

Those who were sincerely applying to be guards all managed to survive one attack from Dian Wei. Two guys who were above Extraordinary Rank-5 even endured two attacks.

Those who intended to take the money and walk away would be crushed without being able to fight again, and those sent by the Flood Dragon Gang would be crippled or killed.

“Wow. Why have so many people gathered here?”

At this moment, a curious voice came from the crowd.

“Recruitment through fighting?

“Anyone who endures one attack from him will get ten taels of gold, and for more attacks, they can get ten times more gold?

“Damn it, I didn’t expect such a good thing! I’m going to be rich!”

The person who said that was a man who carried a heavy sword on his shoulder and a container that was covered in cloth on his back. He looked rather handsome, but he emitted a somewhat obnoxious vibe as he greedily looked at the tray of gold at the center of the arena.
