Chapter 697: Chapter 697

Several minutes passed by.

The golden-haired elder, accompanied by more than a dozen foreigners, walked menacingly towards Li Xiaolu and his group and stopped in front of them.

"What are you doing here?" Li Xiaolu asked.

"We heard that you are recruiting today?" the golden-haired elder asked calmly.

"Are you here to apply for a job?" Li Xiaolu asked, frowning.

"What do you think?" the golden-haired elder retorted.

"Hmph! I don’t care what you are here for. Just remember this! I’m warning you to obediently follow our rules. If you dare to mess around! I will make sure you walk in standing and leave lying down!" Li Xiaolu said coldly.

"Is that so?" the golden-haired elder said, amused.

"You are welcome to try!" Li Xiaolu said, stepping forward.

As he did so, Brother Leopard and a group of security guards collectively stepped forward, glaring menacingly at the golden-haired elder and his group of foreigners.

"Hehe," the golden-haired elder sneered, narrowing his eyes.

"Young man, such strong anger!" said the golden-haired elder.

"Hmph! Friends are greeted with fine wine, but foes face the Dog Beating Stick! If you want to apply, do it by our rules and line up at the back!" Li Xiaolu said.

"What if we don’t?" the golden-haired elder asked, tauntingly.

"Then we will have no choice but to treat you as troublemakers and throw you out!" Li Xiaolu said coldly.

"Don’t be so hot-tempered, young man! Tell me, where do we apply for a security job?" the golden-haired elder asked with a mysterious smile.

"You want to apply for a security position?" Li Xiaolu asked, his brow furrowed.

"What, we can’t?" the golden-haired elder asked.

"Sorry! Our security positions are already filled. We are not hiring! Try somewhere else!" Li Xiaolu said.

"There is a saying in Huaxia, ’Lying is not for good children!’ Young man, why do you feel the need to deceive this old man?" the golden-haired elder said sternly.

"Do I need to lie to you? I told you, our security positions are filled - we are not hiring anymore. Try somewhere else!" Li Xiaolu said, displeased.

Had these foreigners behaved properly, he would have taken action earlier rather than wasting time talking.

"A company this big only has these twenty-something security guards? Do you think I’m senile, or are you deliberately mocking me?" the golden-haired elder sneered.

"It seems you came here specifically to pick a fight!" Li Xiaolu said.

"You are mistaken, we are not here to pick a fight, but to apply for security positions!" the golden-haired elder said.

"Hmph! I won’t repeat myself. I give you three seconds to take your people and leave! Otherwise, don’t blame me for being rude!" Li Xiaolu issued his final ultimatum. Nᴇw ɴovel chaptᴇrs are published on 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡⁂𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚⁂𝙣𝙚𝙩

The group of the golden-haired elder stood still as if they had heard nothing, remaining calm and haughty as they faced Li Xiaolu and his men.

A minute quickly passed by.

"Since you don’t want to leave, I’ll have to ask you to leave!" Li Xiaolu said coldly.

"Brother Leopard, please escort him out!" Li Xiaolu said.

He heavily emphasized the word "please."

Brother Leopard, a man of Jianghu, certainly understood the hidden meaning in Li Xiaolu’s words.

Immediately, he took a step forward, swung his arms a couple of times, and, with explosive force erupting from his arms, menacingly approached the golden-haired elder.

As Brother Leopard approached, the group of foreigners behind the golden-haired elder made no move to react; instead, they stood calmly in place.

As for the golden-haired elder, he looked at Brother Leopard with disdain, his presbyopic eyes filled with scorn, as if he were looking at a pitiful worm.

"Old man, you’re not leaving, huh? Let me help you!" Brother Leopard sneered.

Grabbing the blonde elder’s shoulders with both arms, he growled, "Up!" and fiercely exerted force, trying to lift the blonde elder from the ground.

However, no matter how hard he tried, the blonde elder stood immovable as if he weighed a thousand pounds.

"Hmm? How is this possible? Don’t tell me you are just an old man. Even if you were a tiger, under my full effort, you should be lifted! Could it be that I opened the script the wrong way?" Brother Leopard said doubtfully.

He then tried once again from the beginning.

Stomping heavily on the ground, sinking his Qi into his Dantian, he spat on his palms and grabbed the blonde elder’s shoulders.

"Get up!" Brother Leopard growled.

Putting all his strength into it, he tried to lift the blonde elder.

But, embarrassingly, the blonde elder remained rooted to the ground, completely still.

"Damn! Who on earth are you?" Brother Leopard narrowed his eyes and demanded.

"I’m just here to apply for a security job!" the blonde elder replied.

During their conversation, his two dry palms casually reached forward and grabbed Brother Leopard’s shoulders.

"Since you’ve performed, now it’s my turn," the blonde elder sneered.

After speaking, he lifted his hand and hoisted Brother Leopard right up, throwing him back as if tossing out garbage.

Brother Leopard fell awkwardly to the ground, face planting and spitting out a mouthful of blood, his body feeling like it had fallen apart, utterly drained of strength.

"Damn! You dare to stir up trouble at Bai Xue Company, you’re simply seeking death! Come on, hit them until they submit!" Xiaolu coldly shouted.

He pulled out a rubber baton from his waist and was the first to rush forward.

The baton in his hand brought with it a huge cyclone, viciously smashing towards the blonde elder.

"Take two men and handle them!" the blonde elder calmly ordered.

After speaking, he stepped back, giving the battlefield to his subordinates.

Two figures flashed, rushing forward swiftly with a strong breeze.

Before Xiaolu could land a hit with his baton, a powerful kick struck his waist, sending him flying.

Immediately afterward, before the surrounding security guards could react, two foreigners swiftly charged in.

Punching and kicking with almost extreme speed, the guards couldn’t react in time.

All that could be heard was a series of rapid smacking sounds.

When everything settled down again, over twenty security guards, including Xiaolu and Brother Leopard, lay on the ground defeated.

All bruised and injured, without the strength to even stand, not one of them made a sound, not even a moan!

Having dealt with Xiaolu’s group of guards, the two foreigners stepped back behind the blonde elder.

The blonde elder approached Xiaolu, pausing beside him with a taunting air.

He extended his right foot, his black leather shoe pressing against Xiaolu’s chest.

"You guys are really weak!" the blonde elder remarked.

"Ah! What are you doing? If you are here to apply, please don’t hurt anyone!" Seeing Xiaolu and his group humiliated, hundreds to thousands of applicants started backing away, except for one seemingly frail scholar, who straightened his back and stepped forward.
