Hou Dayong spoke, his gaze shifting toward Ye Luo as a hint of peculiarity flashed in his eyes, "Of course, since you’re a vice chief personally appointed by the president, you don’t necessarily need to have genuine qualifications. After all, since the president approves, none of us will say anything."

Listening to Hou Dayong’s words filled with insinuation, Ye Luo still wore a smile on his face and responded, "Minister Hou is right. The Security Department carries a heavy responsibility, it truly shouldn’t allow the entry of those without real strength."

"Since that is the case, would the brother known as Hu Zi please step out? Let’s exchange a few moves, and see if I have the ability to hold the position of deputy chief of the Security Department."

As Ye Luo spoke, his gaze turned to Hu Zi, and for a moment, the security guards all wore a look of surprise when looking at him.

It was known that Hu Zi was the strongest in their Security Department before the appearance of Hou Dayong and had been the most likely candidate for the position of chief.

Then, Hou Dayong arrived, and using his own strength, he defeated Hu Zi to become the chief of the Security Department. Regardless, apart from Hou Dayong, Hu Zi’s strength was undoubtedly the strongest among them, and several of them together might still not be a match for him.

And this Vice Chief Ye appeared thin and frail, gentle and quiet, looking like a master who knew nothing, how could he possibly be an opponent for the strong and extraordinary Hu Zi.

"Vice Chief Ye, I think it’s not necessary."

The dark-skinned young man hurriedly spoke up.

"Yes, Vice Chief Ye, Hu Zi doesn’t know how to pull his punches. If by any chance you get hurt, it would be difficult for us to explain to the president."

A cold smile emerged at the corner of Hou Dayong’s mouth as he continued.

"Don’t worry, if I get injured, I will go speak with the president and resign from the vice chief’s position,"

Ye Luo said, his lips curving into a slight smile.

"Fine!"

Hu Zi called out in a deep voice, his muscular frame stepping forward like a small mountain, emanating an intense sense of power.

"Bring it on."

Ye Luo stood there with an air of nonchalance, looking quite casual, as the security guards watched the scene with a tense look in their eyes.

At that moment, other employees in the hall couldn’t help but gather around to watch the unfolding drama.

"This guy had better not really hurt Vice Chief Ye, or things could get serious,"

The dark-skinned young man looked on with a mix of worry and nervousness as he watched Hu Zi and Ye Luo.

"Ha!"

With a roar, Hu Zi stepped forward and threw a punch directly at Ye Luo, not using much strength, evidently not going full force; he thought that this much power would be enough to defeat the vice chief who had climbed the ranks through connections.

As Hu Zi’s attack came, Ye Luo’s smile widened, and with a slight tilt of his head, he effortlessly dodged the incoming blow.

Seeing his strike evaded, Hu Zi’s eyes flashed with surprise before he launched another punch, this time much faster, the fist creating a gust of wind as it fiercely aimed at Ye Luo.

"This guy isn’t afraid of causing trouble," the dark-skinned man said, his fists clenched tight, looking anxious.

As for Hou Dayong, he stood to one side, arms crossed, watching the scene unfold with a cold expression.

Smack!

Facing Hu Zi’s powerful punch, Ye Luo casually swung his hand, deflecting the fist to the side, then followed up with a strange slap on his opponent’s chest, releasing a surge of internal energy.

Instantly, Hu Zi’s body trembled, and he staggered back several steps.

"Shall we continue?"

Ye Luo’s gaze met Hu Zi’s, who with a tensed expression, said, "You do have some skills."

After these words, Hu Zi burst forth, fists clenched, as True Qi coursed through his body, a terrifying aura enveloping him.

The Late Houtian Level strength was now on full display, clearly showing the formidable capability of Hu Zi.

Although these security guards were all seasoned fighters, the strongest among them were merely at the Middle Stage of the Acquired Realm, certainly no match for Hu Zi.

Hu Zi unleashed his full strength, causing everyone present to feel a jolt in their hearts as they started to worry for Ye Luo.

But clearly, their worries were unnecessary.

Despite Hu Zi’s impressive momentum and formidable strength, he didn’t stand a chance against Ye Luo.

Watching Hu Zi’s fierce punch coming towards him, Ye Luo didn’t dodge at all and directly threw a punch out. The two fists, packed with power, collided, unleashing a muffled sound and a fierce burst of energy that brought about a strong gust of wind.

Ye Luo stood unmoved, while Hu Zi was pushed back more than a dozen steps, almost losing his footing with his arm trembling slightly.

"This..."

Seeing the outcome of this battle, the group of security guards were somewhat stunned, even Hou Dayong, who had been looking forward to the spectacle, had his eyes fixed on Ye Luo with a flash of surprise.

"No way, Vice Chief Ye is that strong?"

"Yeah, and he completely defeated Hu Zi in his specialty, strength. You know, even Chief Hou has to step back a few steps when facing Hu Zi’s full-powered punch. Vice Chief Ye didn’t even move an inch. That’s amazing."

The security guards whispered amongst themselves, their eyes filled with admiration as they looked at Ye Luo.

"Hu Zi, are you alright?"

The dark-skinned man asked Hu Zi with concern.

"I’m fine."

Hu Zi shook his head and looked at Ye Luo, "I lost. You’re stronger than me."

"So, I suppose no one objects to me becoming the Deputy Chief of the security department now."

Ye Luo said with a smile, looking at the people around him.

Immediately, they all shook their heads, their eyes filled with reverence as they looked at Ye Luo.

"You’re called Hu Zi, right? What did you use to do?"

Ye Luo’s gaze turned to Hu Zi.

"I was in the special forces. After I was discharged, I came to the Ling Corporation."

Hu Zi said gravely.

"And you?"

Ye Luo’s gaze then swept toward the dark-skinned young man.

"I’m Hei Zi. Hu Zi and I were both in the special forces, and we were discharged together."

Hei Zi hastily explained, looking at Ye Luo.

"Hei Zi? That’s a good name."

Ye Luo looked at his dark complexion and chuckled.

"Heh heh, I’ve had dark skin since I was a kid, so my family called me Hei Zi directly."

Hei Zi said with an embarrassed smile.

"Vice Chief Ye, you really don’t reveal your true capabilities, impressive, impressive."

Hou Dayong’s eyes turned to Ye Luo, his face showing a smile as he spoke.

"Not at all, I’m nowhere as formidable as Chief Hou. What I did was just a little skill."

Ye Luo met Hou Dayong’s gaze, squinting slightly with a meaningful smile on his lips.
