"Roar roar roar!"
The wealthy crowd below the arena cheered excitedly.
Every time we see humans being crushed by monsters, today we finally have someone who can defeat them.
The wealthy, living a life of extravagance and debauchery, are actually worried that one day, West City might become a world of monsters.
They used the monster, but they also feared that in the end, they would become the monster's meal.
The city lord of the west city looked at Huo Sijin with shining eyes; he wanted to bring this person under his command.
"Quickly, quickly bring my chief bodyguard up here!"
...
Huo Sijin entered the private room with her head bowed and ears lowered. Her tattered appearance pleased the city lord of Xicheng.
It's easier to bribe a poor person; those poor people would even cut off their own flesh for a pound of grain. Now, if we give him enough grain, we won't have to worry about him disobeying.
“I keep my word. From today onwards, you will be my chief bodyguard.”
Huo Sijin noticed that he still didn't trust her, so she shrank back and asked.
"City lord, how much grain will I receive in a month?"
"For example, if it's less than thirty pounds, I won't do it."
Seeing him like this, the city lord of the west city completely lowered his guard.
"Don't worry, I'll give you 100 catties of grain every month, plus 10 catties of meat. If you protect me well, I'll give you even more rewards!"
Huo Sijin's lips trembled with excitement.
"Really?"
The West City Lord nodded smugly. What did supplies matter? As long as he could live, he could just go and steal some more.
Huo Sijin then followed them into the palace.
As the city lord's chief bodyguard, he was assigned his own room after entering the palace, along with a very exquisite handmade custom-made suit.
He had disguised himself; his face was dark and his features were not very attractive. Even dressed in expensive clothes, he looked very out of place.
Gu Mobai, as the chief guard, felt threatened when he heard that the city lord had brought back a chief bodyguard, so he rushed over.
"You're the chief bodyguard the city lord brought back?"
Looking at Huo Sijin's "honest and simple" appearance, a hint of disdain flashed in his eyes.
The city lord must have misjudged him. How could someone like that possibly protect him?
"right!"
Huo Sijin's cold gaze fell on Gu Mobai's jet-black tail.
"I got this opportunity by defeating that half-human, half-snake monster."
Gu Mobai suddenly felt a chill run down his spine, sensing that the man in front of him was implying something.
But when you look at her again, Huo Sijin still looks honest and unassuming.
Could he have misread it?
However, the necessary warnings still need to be issued.
"Those who can perform in the arena are the weakest monsters. Don't be arrogant. Even if you are brought back by the city lord to be his chief bodyguard, you must know your place."
Gu Mobai, putting on airs, lectured, "You're new here, so you should respect your seniors, understand?"
Huo Sijin met his disdainful gaze and immediately assumed a fighting stance.
"All I know is that the city lord says we should listen to whoever is stronger. We'll find out who respects whom after a fight, won't we?"
Gu Mobai has been acting arrogantly and domineeringly since entering the West City. Apart from the city lord, no one has dared to speak to him like that.
But this arrogant fool in front of him dared to provoke him?
"Alright, then I'll show you what real strength is."
Gu Mobai swept the snake's tail, striking Huo Sijin's forehead directly.
His tail could sweep a car away; if it hit Huo Sijin on the forehead, it would either kill or seriously injure him.
However, Huo Sijin leaped into the air and landed directly on his snake tail.
He picked up the knife and stabbed the snake's tail directly.
ah!
By the time Gu Mobai withdrew, it was too late; the black snake tail was already covered in blood.
"Senior, you are not as good as me, shouldn't you show me respect?"
Huo Sijin leaped to her feet, her gaze calm, but her words infuriated Gu Mobai to the point of wanting to kill her.
Damn it, he was caught off guard and got stabbed.
He wanted to try again, but then he heard applause from the West City Lord behind him.
"Not bad, not bad at all. I knew I hadn't misjudged you."
Upon hearing that the newly recruited chief bodyguard had gotten into a fight with his chief guard, the city lord of the West City rushed over to watch the battle.
When the man and the monster started fighting, he secretly wanted the other person to win.
But he knew the monster was too powerful; an ordinary person couldn't possibly defeat it. However, his newly recruited chief bodyguard was definitely no ordinary person.
"Lord of the city, we agreed on the terms before: whoever wins will be obeyed and respected."
Gu Mobai hadn't recovered from his defeat when Huo Sijin reminded him again, and his eyes almost blazed with anger.
"Lord, I just didn't expect him to use a weapon."
Gu Mobai did not want to admit defeat.
"If you can use your tail, why can't I use a weapon?"
Huo Sijin glanced at him indifferently: "Besides, no matter what method you use, I can defeat you."
That tone was so arrogant that it drove Gu Mobai crazy.
“Lord of the city, this kid is too arrogant. Such a person is not reliable enough to be your chief bodyguard and may bring you danger.”
Huo Sijin laughed: "I only act recklessly towards those who are weaker."
His honest-looking face, coupled with his resolute words, made Gu Mobai so angry that he almost jumped up.
"Lord of the city, I want to have another match with him."
He absolutely cannot let this newly opened business steal his position.
"Okay, let's have another one."
The city lord of Xicheng personally watched the battle. If Huo Sijin could really crush Gu Mobai, he would definitely train him well.
If not, then consider it as him bringing back a dead man from the Colosseum.
The chief bodyguard and chief guard were to compete, with the city lord of West City personally acting as referee. This news caused an uproar throughout West City.
The competition will take place on a stage in the center of West City.
People from the wealthy area mostly came to watch the game, and the audience below the stage was bustling with people.
Some people even set up bookmakers for betting, and of course, more people bet on Gu Mobai to win.
"The match begins!"
The city lord of the West City was eager to see the result. At his command, Gu Mobai on the arena launched the first attack.
This time, he was smarter and used his tail to sweep around, preventing Huo Sijin from getting close.
Huo Sijin wasn't in a hurry. She just calmly paced back and forth, looking at Gu Mobai as if she were looking at a mad dog.
Gu Mobai gritted his teeth in anger and launched an even fiercer attack.
Huo Sijin stared at his tail, her eyes suddenly becoming much sharper.
A sharp aura emanated from him, and with a leap, his body quickly emerged from the afterimage of the snake's tail.
His body traced an arc in the air, and by the time everyone reacted, the knife in his hand was already pressed against Gu Mobai's neck.
"You are no match for me!"
A simple sentence completely turned Gu Mo's face pale.
