Our Slacking Is Justice

Chapter 14: Our Shirking is Justified

Regardless of his confusion, the mission still had to be completed.

Just as he was about to ask Schwarzenegger for more details, the villa door suddenly opened.

A butler-like figure at the front, leading a group of men and women, walked straight towards them.

"Thank you for your hard work, Captain Gu."

Upon seeing Fu Qian and Schwarzenegger, the butler bowed respectfully.

So Schwarzenegger's surname was Gu.

"You're too kind, this is our duty."

It was evident that despite the business-like politeness, Captain Gu was quite pleased.

The butler smiled and exchanged a few more pleasantries.

At this moment, a car sped towards them from a distance. The butler's smile vanished, and he quickly went to meet it.

He figured it wasn't specifically to be polite to bodyguards.

Looking at the neatly lined-up butler and his entourage, the person arriving in the car must have an extraordinary status.

The speeding car crossed the plaza without slowing down, stopping abruptly right in front of the butler and his group.

As the car door opened, several people spilled out.

Leading them was a young man in his early twenties, reasonably good-looking.

His hair was neatly combed, he wore a white suit and white leather shoes, and his face was powdered and greasy.

"I've brought my people, where's Wen Li?"

Facing the approaching butler, this fellow grinned and gestured to the people who had come with him.

There were three others with him, two men and one woman. Apart from one middle-aged man, the others were quite young.

"Hello, Young Master Ye. Miss is resting inside."

The butler responded with a smile, his expression a hundred times more respectful than before.

Are they all Transcendent?

Fu Qian narrowed his eyes. These people gave him a feeling very similar to the Night Watchers he had encountered before; they possessed a power far beyond that of ordinary people.

It seemed that bodyguards like himself were purely hired as cannon fodder, and these were the real guards.

But it might not be a bad thing.

A title like Young Master Ye, second only to Dragon King, wasn't just given out casually.

Perhaps he wouldn't have to do anything, and the mission would be complete.

Although, based on his past experiences, Fu Qian was still a bit pessimistic about this.

Hiss!

Schwarzenegger Gu also gasped.

"Four Transcendent!"

He said rapidly in an even lower voice.

"To find such helpers, the rumors from outside must be true. The Wen Family is in serious trouble this time, no wonder they're hiring so many people.

Don't forget what I told you before coming: be sharp.

We're getting paid to do a job, but if the opponent is a Transcendent, the first priority is to sound the alarm, not to charge in foolishly.

They aren't betting everything on us; we're just cannon fodder at best. Besides these few, there might even be Night Watchers here."

Mm-hmm, got it.

Fu Qian nodded.

Although this Captain Gu's strength was average, he was clearly an experienced veteran with good judgment.

His mind was clear, and what was rare, he didn't want his subordinates to die for nothing.

However, Fu Qian still wanted to remind him of one thing—Transcendent generally had good hearing.

As expected, Young Master Ye, who was about to follow the butler inside to find someone, suddenly stopped.

He slowly turned his head, a playful smile on his face, and looked over.

Well, my shirking idea has been caught red-handed.

Fu Qian sighed sympathetically. The pressure was now on Captain Gu.

Captain Gu also sensed the anomaly immediately. Recalling his own words just now, his breathing tightened.

Unexpectedly, after looking around, Young Master Ye's gaze fixed on Fu Qian.

"Are these the bodyguards you hired? Why do they look unreliable?"

Such a classic development?

This change immediately made Fu Qian marvel in his heart. A flood of ancient knowledge surged through his mind, instantly calculating a result—this person affirmed his external image.

He had to admit, she had good taste. Especially after transforming into a Thug, the weakness of his slender build was compensated for. Now, he was practically walking, hormone-level charisma.

Otherwise, why would he dare to plan a career of living off a partner's success?

"These are extraordinary times. To ensure safety, we have to utilize all our strength.

These are elite members brought by Captain Gu."

For some reason, Young Master Ye targeted this bodyguard. The butler habitually smoothed things over.

Elite members?

Young Master Ye sneered.

"How elite are they? Can I see for myself?"

Not bad, full of spirit!

As a pure task-doer, Fu Qian had no interest in legendary scenarios like "pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger" or "slapping a rich second-generation heir."

But witnessing such living biodiversity with his own eyes was, to some extent, an interesting experience.

"Is that okay, Captain Gu?"

Although the butler found it absurd, he clearly didn't want to defy Young Master Ye too much. He turned to look at Schwarzenegger Gu.

"This, he's still on a mission..."

Captain Gu's expression shifted slightly, and he glanced at Fu Qian.

Having navigated the world for many years, he could naturally tell that this Young Master Ye was no ordinary person.

Although his subordinates had undergone strict training, they were, in the end, still ordinary people. Clashing with a Transcendent would absolutely be unwise.

"Demonstrating strength to reassure the employer is also part of our job duties, isn't it?"

Young Master Ye clearly wasn't going to back down.

Otherwise, what would the term "outstanding aura" be for? Just standing here, I can become the center of attention without needing any lines.

"Oh, how do you want to demonstrate?"

Seeing Captain Gu momentarily speechless, Fu Qian, after sighing inwardly at his own charisma, spoke up directly.

"Whatever your specialties are, just show them all."

When Fu Qian finally agreed to talk, Young Master Ye immediately smiled with satisfaction.

"There are too many, and not all of them are convenient to display here."

This conflict seemed unavoidable. Fu Qian was also unceremonious.

He hadn't fought a Transcendent since transforming into a Thug. Hitting a training dummy would be good.

If the scene got too bloody, he could just reset with a small loss of Sanity Value. It wasn't a big deal.

As soon as he said this, even the butler's expression changed.

Captain Gu even pulled him back directly.

Haha!

Young Master Ye paused before realizing the meaning behind Fu Qian's words and burst into laughter.

"This is interesting. I didn't expect you to be able to hire such an expert!"

"How about this, since you don't know what to demonstrate, why not spar with our young lady?"

Young Master Ye reached out and pulled the female companion he had brought along.

"Now you can't say I'm bullying you, can you?"

Young lady.

Fu Qian looked at the person who was pushed forward.

She wasn't old, but her style was hard to compliment.

Red and blue hair, eyeshadow as heavy as a panda's, and revealing clothing—a classic Harley Quinn.

Indeed, nowadays, if you don't wear eccentric clothes, you're too embarrassed to call yourself a peculiar individual.

Seeing Fu Qian appraising her, the latter smiled charmingly and gave him a seductive glance.

"Handsome, go easy on me."

"Don't worry, my specialty is..."

"That's good, that's good!"

The delinquent girl giggled charmingly, exaggeratedly patting her chest with her hand.

The next moment, she bent and straightened her arm, and two shiny blades appeared between her fingers.
