233: Chapter 230 I Want to Quit

"This is Mr. Li, a bodyguard here for testing." Anya first introduced Li Changsheng's identity to everyone, then pointed Li Changsheng toward the man in the white Karate Dao uniform in front of them.

"This is Kanai Shuichi, a Seventh-Dan Black Belt expert in Karate. Of course, Mr. Kanai Shuichi is an excellent fighting expert, but due to age limitations, he can currently only be awarded the limit rank for this age group."

Anya clearly valued Li Changsheng more, as her introduction of him was quite detailed.

However, hearing this, that Japanese Faction member named Kanai Shuichi frowned, but still nodded politely to Li Changsheng.

"Zonglawimon—this Mr. Zonglawimon is a Muay Thai expert from Southeast Asia. According to the Muay Thai Eight Precepts ranking, he is at the Red Rank, the highest, Advanced level, and is a top Muay Thai expert currently active in Southeast Asia."

Hearing this, Zonglawimon also nodded to Li Changsheng, but his expression was somewhat puzzled. He seemed confused as to why this Young Miss Anya introduced them so thoroughly while glossing over this Mr. Li. Could this Mr. Li just be here to make up the numbers?

This was also what Zonglawimon and Kanai Shuichi were thinking at the moment; after all, minor characters usually don't need much explanation.

"This is Mr. Anthony Kenneth from Kenya. He is a sprinting star, and speed is his advantage. His fastest hundred-meter time is under 10.7s."

"As for this one..."

Just as Anya finished introducing the black man and was about to introduce Zhang Zhao, Li Changsheng waved his hand. "Mr. Zhang, I know him. No need for an introduction."

A flash of surprise crossed Anya's face, and she then said with a smile, "Mr. Zhang Zhao has already served the boss for a while and has already been tested. In that case, please follow me, the three of you. We need your cooperation for some small tests."

Hearing this, Li Changsheng couldn't help but glance at the silent Zhang Zhao. He hadn't expected that after failing to challenge the gym, the man would turn around and become a bodyguard.

Seemingly sensing Li Changsheng's gaze, Zhang Zhao also looked over. He opened his mouth as if to say something, but in the end, nothing came out.

"Ms. Anya, there was no mention of such a process before applying. And you said I wasn't here to be a bodyguard; I only need to demonstrate my powerful destructive force!"

At that moment, Zonglawimon said from the side with great dissatisfaction. Clearly, Anya's proposal had displeased him.

Li Changsheng just watched all this with interest. He was very clear about Durant's arrangements.

It was nothing more than casting a wide net to recruit as many physically powerful individuals as possible to increase his leverage. Testing was a hard requirement; if they failed the test, these people likely had no value to be utilized.

That included himself.

However, for Li Changsheng, this was simply a matter of mutual benefit. He could infiltrate Genentech and make a fortune from Durant—why not?

"Mr. Zonglawimon, if you agree to the test, our boss has promised to give everyone a hundred thousand dollars."

Anya said this flatly, and Zonglawimon immediately shut his mouth.

Nonsense, getting a hundred thousand dollars just for a test—wasn't that much easier than struggling to make money in matches?

The key was that Zonglawimon knew very well that passing the test was the real goal; if he passed, there would be even more US dollars than he could ever spend.

Soon, Anya led the four of them out of the meeting room. After walking to a spacious room on the east side and entering, they discovered that the interior Materials of this room were all metal.

Inside the room, several people were already sitting there—five in total, both black and white.

They wore matching camouflage combat uniforms. Some held pistols and blades, while others stood empty-handed with their arms crossed. However, looking at their eyes, which were like those of predators stalking prey, it was clear these people were not to be trifled with.

"What is the meaning of this?"

Seeing this, the expressions of Zonglawimon, Kanai Shuichi, and Kenneth were all quite grim. It hadn't been mentioned before that the test would involve facing firearms.

"I want to quit! I'm out!"

Zonglawimon was the first to head for the exit. He felt that while there was money to be made, he wouldn't live to spend it.

Bang!

However, the moment he turned to step out the door, a bullet hole suddenly appeared an inch in front of his toes. Zonglawimon's body instantly froze in place.

"Mr. Zonglawimon, I advise you not to act rashly. Since you've already entered, you must complete all the tests before you can leave this place."

Anya spoke slowly. This time, her voice lacked its previous sweetness, replaced only by a bone-chilling coldness.

"You... what you're doing is illegal! It's an unlawful restriction of personal freedom!" Zonglawimon was scared; he was truly terrified.

What kind of people were these!

"Mr. Zonglawimon, don't say such childish things now."

Anya shook her head, then said in a sweet but firm voice, "The next part is the first Dao of testing. There are five people here: some are experts in hand-to-hand combat, others in cold weapons and firearms.

This Dao of testing is a reaction test. You three gentlemen, please choose a suitable opponent. The firearms one is the most difficult, so everyone must act within their capabilities, as I do not wish to see a tragedy occur.

Choose a suitable opponent and stand within five meters of each other. I don't care what method you use—whether you defeat your opponent or simply try to survive—you must last for five seconds. Otherwise, I cannot guarantee the consequences."

Hearing this, Zonglawimon and Kanai Shuichi's faces turned extremely dark and grim, while Li Changsheng had already expected this.

"This Durant really wants to pick the right candidates. Reaction is just the first step; what he truly needs isn't whether someone can fight, but how strong their physical constitution actually is."

After all, the conditions Anya stated were clear: you don't need to defeat your opponent, just survive for five seconds. This way, even that black man Kenneth would have a chance to survive.

Seeing that Anya's attitude brooked no refusal, the group began to choose their targets.

Of the five people before them, not all were armed. Two were empty-handed, two held daggers, and one held a pistol.

Seeing this, they looked at each other. Zonglawimon and Kanai Shuichi immediately spoke in unison, reaching out to quickly select their targets.

"I choose this one!"

"I choose this one!"

Actually, Kenneth had also spoken, but the person he chose was the same target as Zonglawimon—both were unarmed. Even Kanai Shuichi had chosen the other empty-handed person.

"Mr. Kenneth, your choice overlaps with Mr. Zonglawimon's. You may choose again." Saying this, Anya looked at Kanai Shuichi and Zonglawimon with a somewhat strange smile. "Are you two sure you want to choose hand-to-hand combat?"

"Yes! I feel I'm better at this!" The two of them nodded almost simultaneously.

"Being empty-handed doesn't mean they aren't dangerous. However, since you two have made your choices, who will go first?" Anya looked at the two of them.
