37: Chapter 37 Jiang Jin: Don't be shocked, this 1.6 billion is your salary!

No one was a fool. As the top-tier bodyguards in Yanjing, according to past conventions, let alone resigning to pledge loyalty to other strangers, even contacting outsiders in daily life required strict vetting!

But even so, they still resigned and came here!

From being the "pride of heaven" in Yanjing, they plummeted down to become the private bodyguards of a university graduate in a Xiangnan village!

Out of professional habit, they had not discussed their inner confusion in private.

However, through the verbal instructions from Young Master Wang before leaving, as well as various clues, they still managed to infer a vague trace.

But at this moment, as Jiang Jin spoke without any concealment, the vague suspicion in their hearts was suddenly unveiled—Jiang Jin was actually an 'Immortal' who had transcended the world!!

The brains of the sixteen individuals exploded; all of them stared at Jiang Jin with dilated pupils, their expressions full of shock and disbelief!

"... Mr. Jiang, I know that verbal words cannot express any promise. I will use my future mission actions to demonstrate absolute loyalty to you!"

Liu Jie was the first to react. With a "snap," he brought his feet together and saluted, expressing his heartfelt loyalty to Jiang Jin with a firm and fearless gaze.

Among the sixteen people, besides the team leader Zhou Guanying, there were two squad leaders, "Liu Jie" and "Lin Shaoyong" respectively.

Liu Jie came from the Southwest. Although he was under 1.8 meters tall, his physique was exceptionally lean and tough.

He was proficient in five languages and could skillfully operate various electronic equipment and helicopters, making him a true technical elite talent in the team.

As for Lin Shaoyong, he came from the Northwest. He had practiced martial arts since childhood and had a large build. With his square face, he looked somewhat honest and simple, a typical Northwestern man.

If it came to cold weapon combat and fighting on the scene, Lin Shaoyong was undoubtedly the strongest person.

"Mr. Jiang, we are the same!"

Zhou Guanying and the others followed immediately, their eyes flashing with fervor as they saluted to express their absolute loyalty!

From the moment they came here, their future fates had been firmly tied to Jiang Jin.

If something were to happen to Jiang Jin, they would only have... the fate of being buried with him!

Therefore, everyone was mentally prepared.

But upon learning of Jiang Jin's truly terrifying identity, they completely forgot the past, their eyes filled only with a longing for a glorious future!

"Hehe, no need to be so formal, relax a bit."

Seeing the reaction of the sixteen people, Jiang Jin nodded with satisfaction.

For subordinates, what he valued most was not talent or aptitude, but loyalty!

With a loyal subordinate, many things would be easily resolved; there would be no need to spend all day scheming or guessing whether subordinates were doing some... dark business behind his back.

Of course, anyone could say words; what truly connected both sides still had to be... the control of the Divine Connection Mark!

"Tell me, does anyone have any difficulties in their respective families?"

"Let's start with the team leader, Zhou Guanying."

"Also, since you will all be pledging loyalty to me from now on, calling me Mr. Jiang is too distant."

Jiang Jin touched his chin and thought for a moment, then said: "Hmm, you had better call me... 'Lord'."

Unlike Mo Wudi, these people were voluntarily submitting, so naturally, they could not call him "Master".

Therefore, after thinking it over, he still felt that the title 'Lord' sounded better and fit his transcendent identity as the [Creator].

Zhou Guanying's eyes flashed with a glimmer of hope as he said: "... Lord, I have a younger sister who is twenty-one years old this year. She suffered from ALS in her early years and has been insisting on treatment, but she has not yet recovered..."

"ALS? Small problem. I will give her a quota for a 'Destined One', and soon she will be able to save up enough transcendent medicine for Healing."

Jiang Jin did not think much and said generously.

"Thank you for your grace, Lord!"

Zhou Guanying was full of excitement. Although he did not know what a Destined One actually was, given Jiang Jin's identity as an "Immortal", he figured it was not just empty talk.

Everyone quickly adapted to their new positions and revealed all their family difficulties.

After hearing this, Jiang Jin did not shirk at all and solved them one by one for them.

Among them, the most common problem was nothing more than parents or grandparents suffering from illnesses.

For those capable, Jiang Jin gave a Destined One quota; for the older generation like the elderly, he bestowed a few Spiritual Plants for longevity and transcendent medicine for Healing their illnesses.

Mundane ordinary illnesses were nothing more than a small hurdle in front of transcendent items nourished and evolved by the Spirit Energy Factor; they didn't amount to much.

Just like that, using a dozen or so Spirit Medicines and a few Destined One quotas, Jiang Jin gained sixteen absolutely loyal top-tier subordinates!

Looking at their bright and fervent gazes, Jiang Jin even suspected that if he just gave the order, even if there was a mountain of knives and a sea of fire ahead, they wouldn't even frown.

"By the way, the previous part was to resolve your worries. Regarding the salary, I will also pay it to you in advance."

As Jiang Jin spoke, under the astonished gazes of the sixteen people, as if performing a magic trick, after a faint mist dissipated, a bearer black gold bank card appeared in his hand.

"There is 1.6 billion in here, one hundred million for each of you."

He calmly handed the black gold bank card to Zhou Guanying and said: "You will be responsible for transferring this money later."

"Gulp—" Hearing this huge amount of salary, the sixteen people swallowed their saliva, feeling as if their eyeballs were about to pop out.

"... Lord, this... this is too much, it's completely unnecessary to have this much!"

Zhou Guanying instinctively wanted to wave his hand and refuse, but his eyes still couldn't help but look at the black gold bank card.

Having never encountered the transcendent before, they didn't have much of a concept of the previous transcendent Spirit Medicine and Destined One quotas, but for one hundred million in money, Zhou Guanying and the others were all too familiar with its real-world value!

To speak without exaggeration, in the current era, one million could buy a human life, so how much could one hundred million exchange for?

In the past, although they could insincerely say that they were fighting for ideals.

But under the one hundred million salary given by Jiang Jin, their eyes were a bit red; a warrior dies for one who appreciates him, and they wished they could die for Jiang Jin the next second!

"Do you think that with my current status and strength, I look like someone who is short of money?"

Jiang Jin stood up, placed the black gold bank card into Zhou Guanying's hand, then looked at the sixteen people and said calmly and leisurely: "You don't have to feel that you don't deserve this one hundred million."

"In the future, you will all step onto the path of the transcendent, and mundane wealth is nothing but passing smoke."

"You must look to the long term; what I value... is your future."

"We thank you for your grace, Lord!"

Hearing Jiang Jin's appreciation, Zhou Guanying did not hesitate; he held the black gold bank card high with both hands and led everyone to kneel on one knee with a neat "snap"!

At this moment, the sixteen people were once again moved by Jiang Jin's "monetary sincerity" to the point of being willing to submit with their whole hearts!

"Hmm, all rise."

Jiang Jin looked at Zhou Guanying with a face as calm as water and said: "Young Master Wang sent a message at noon saying that the transfer procedures for the 'Qixia Valley Tourist Scenic Area' have been completed."

"From now on, you will be stationed there. If there is anything, I will contact you using the Divine Connection Mark."
