52: The security guard watched the commotion.

The Little Security Guard pulled out a handful of melon seeds and sat to the side, watching the show!

Melon seed shells were flying everywhere!

The Village Chief felt dissatisfied.

"Damn it, I invited you here to help me kill people!"

"Not to watch the show!"

He suppressed the anger in his heart.

His Face wore a humble expression.

"Expert, it's time for you to make your move!"

The Little Security Guard chuckled.

"Village Chief, you lied to me!"

"You said she was your wife and that Strong Ox stole her, and that you were rightfully protecting your own wife."

"But looking at the situation now, she seems to be Strong Ox's wife, and you're the one trying to steal someone else's wife!"

The Village Chief grew a bit anxious.

"This woman should have been my wife; he stole my wife from me!"

"Never mind whose wife she is, are you going to help or not?"

"Help me kill him, and I'll give you two bags of millet."

"In the future, you'll be our village's guard, and the village will provide your meals!"

"It's the Apocalypse now; where else could you find such a good job?"

The Village Chief simply offered even better terms.

Usually, he wouldn't be willing to offer such high terms.

But now, the arrow was on the string and had to be shot.

If he killed Strong Ox, Xiaohe Village would be his domain.

With such an Expert backing him, he wouldn't have to fear anyone opposing him or harassment from zombies.

It was worth it.

The Little Security Guard, however, frowned.

"A guard? You're treating me like a dog, aren't you?"

The Village Chief thought the Little Security Guard would surely be moved to tears of gratitude!

He didn't expect to offend the Little Security Guard instead.

"I wouldn't dare, Expert! You... you'll be the Head Martial Arts Instructor, the Vice Village Chief of our village!"

"What do you think of these terms?"

Seeing that material temptation wasn't enough, the Village Chief simply offered the best possible conditions.

He was like a local tyrant now; he had the final say on who to promote.

Vice Village Chief—he couldn't offer more than that.

Any more and his own position as Village Chief would be taken.

The Little Security Guard still remained dismissive.

"I'm already a minor overlord of my own territory; why would I care about being a Vice Village Chief in a tiny place like this?"

The Little Security Guard continued cracking melon seeds.

He flicked a shell onto the Village Chief's Face.

The Village Chief was furious but didn't dare speak out, instead putting on a fawning expression.

"Expert, just say it. What terms do you want? As long as I can provide them."

The Little Security Guard: "I'm not interested in any terms; I'm only interested in watching the show."

"Hehe, I'm just someone who naturally loves to eat melon seeds and watch the drama unfold."

"Go ahead and duel; I won't help either side."

The Little Security Guard's thought was: what benefit do I get from helping the Village Chief steal someone else's wife?

And I get nothing from helping Strong Ox protect his wife either!

I won't help anyone; I'll just watch the show.

While the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman reaps the rewards.

When both sides are exhausted and wounded, I'll take the money and the women.

Hehe.

Strong Ox didn't know the Little Security Guard's background, but judging by the Village Chief's words, he was likely a skilled Expert.

Seeing that the Little Security Guard wasn't taking sides was for the best.

"Village Chief, while everyone is here, it's time for us to settle our accounts once and for all."

Seeing that the Little Security Guard wasn't helping, the Village Chief had no choice but to brace himself.

"Fine. We have more people, and you have fewer. Let's see who gets the last laugh."

With a wave of his hand, which was as withered as a dry branch, he shouted, "Kill Strong Ox for me!"

One of the young men under him said, "Village Chief, we're just here to beat people up; we don't dare to kill anyone!"

The Village Chief threatened, "I have the final say in this village now."

"If the authorities investigate, I'll say Strong Ox was stealing grain and we were suppressing a rebellion. You'll be innocent and even rewarded."

"If you don't take care of him, I'll take care of you."

The young men had no choice but to charge forward.

After all, the Village Chief was an official; they couldn't afford to offend him.

Strong Ox's men also charged into the fray.

Blood and tears immediately flew across the battlefield.

It was just a bunch of Mortals fighting.

They were far inferior to an Ability User like the Little Security Guard.

But watching it now was like an adult watching children fight; there was a certain amusement to it.

The Little Security Guard cracked melon seeds while watching the show, laughing with great delight!

These young men, only caring about pleasing the Village Chief, didn't care about childhood friends or anything like that.

Since the Village Chief had more people, they soon gained the upper hand.

"Little Beauty, tonight, you will be mine!"

The Village Chief laughed so hard his dentures fell out.

He quickly picked them up, wiped them, and put them back in.

The Village Flower felt a wave of disgust and encouraged her side: "Dazhuang, keep going!"

"I don't want to be this old man's wife."

Most of Strong Ox's men had fallen and couldn't get back up.

The only one still fighting a bloody battle was Strong Ox.

If he hadn't spent most of his energy on work today, would he have let this bunch take advantage of him?

Dazhuang was already at a disadvantage, but hearing his wife's encouragement, he fought back with renewed vigor.

His eyes were bloodshot from the killing intent.

No one around him dared to approach.

The Village Chief's side had an overwhelming advantage, but now it had become a terrifying stalemate.

Victory was in sight for the Village Chief's side, but intimidated by Strong Ox's combat prowess, they didn't dare to step forward and attack.

Strong Ox's strength was exhausted; he could keep the Village Chief's group at bay, but he no longer had the strength to attack.

But he also knew that if the other side stalled for time, it would only work against him.

He would likely die here today.

It didn't matter if he died, but what about the Village Flower?

Supporting Dazhuang, the Village Flower said with tears in her eyes, "Dazhuang, I've held you back!"

Dazhuang stroked her Face and comforted her, "You haven't held me back; you are the meaning of my life."

The Village Chief smirked, "Village Flower, come with me. This man is surely dead today."

The Village Flower pointed at his nose and said angrily, "At your age, you're still fighting young people for women. Have you no shame?"

Village Chief: "Hehe, Face is worth nothing!"

With that, he urged everyone to continue the attack.

Dazhuang glanced at the Little Security Guard and saw that he was still indifferent.

He just continued cracking melon seeds, watching everything with great interest.

Suddenly, he had an idea.

This person must know some martial arts; otherwise, why would the Village Chief have invited him to act?

He wasn't helping anyone, but what if he could win his support?

He wasn't interested in two bags of grain, or being a guard, or the Head Martial Arts Instructor, or the Vice Village Chief. What was he interested in?

Whether it would work or not, he had to try; this was his last chance.

Strong Ox pulled the Village Flower to Face the Little Security Guard.

"Expert!"

A soulful cry!

Then he knelt and kowtowed.

The Village Flower was dazed. What was going on?

But Strong Ox was already pulling her to kowtow to the Little Security Guard.

The Village Flower and Strong Ox were lovers and shared a deep connection; she understood what was happening in an instant.

She kowtowed even harder.

"Expert, please save us!"

The Village Chief was surprised: "Are you... are you asking the Little Security Guard for help?"

"I offered money, grain, and an official position, and yet he still wouldn't help me."

"You have no money, no grain, and no position. Can he save you?"

The Little Security Guard smiled.

This guy is quite interesting.

His mind is sharp; he knows only I have the ability to save them here.

But whether I save you or not is up to me, not you.

"What do you mean by this?"

Strong Ox cupped his hands: "Expert, please save us!"

The Little Security Guard: "Hehe, I have no relation to you. Give me a reason to save you."

Strong Ox saw the Little Security Guard's expression and felt there was hope.

"As long as you are willing to save me and support me, I will be the Village Chief of this village from now on, and I will be your subordinate."

"I will do whatever you tell me to do."

"If I don't listen, you can just crush me like an ant."

The Village Chief thought: Wow, this guy is ruthless!

He wants to take my position as Village Chief and even gave away the position of the big boss.

The terms he offered are even better than mine!

Fearing the Little Security Guard would agree, he scoffed, "He's a transcendent Expert who doesn't covet wealth, fame, or profit. Would he agree to your terms?"

"Keep dreaming!"

"You're dead today!"

"The Village Flower is staying with me!"

But then a voice came from behind.

It was the Little Security Guard speaking to Strong Ox.

"Are you sincere?"

The Village Chief was startled, and his dentures fell out again...
