Chapter 662: Chapter 661: Accepting the Challenge_1

Upon hearing the voice, Yan Ling knew who had arrived.

Turning her head, she saw that the man had recovered a bit of his color. She knew that her medicine had taken effect and, finally, she was able to relax.

Her loved one had arrived to back her up, so what was there left to fear!

Luo Qi hadn’t imagined that King would actually show up at this time.

His face turned sullen, but he didn’t dare to rebut anymore.

King maneuvered his wheelchair to Yan Ling’s side and pointed to the Secret Guards present, "You may choose any one of them to serve under you, if you so desire."

Yan Ling nodded and asked, "How many people does a squad leader usually command?"

"A squad consists of ten people," King answered.

Yan Ling nodded once more, then she walked over to the Secret Guards.

The Secret Guards looked on in disdain, clearly not willing to serve under her.

But Yan Ling was unbothered. She picked based on her instincts and didn’t care whether these Secret Guards were willing or not.

Seeing King openly favoring an unknown outsider, Luo Qi could no longer hold back, "King, in the Dark Empire, we have always respected strength. Even if you are our leader, you can’t ignore everyone’s opinion and force them to serve under Wesley!"

"Exactly! Only those with formidable strength and acceptance from everyone are qualified to be a squad leader. What has this lad done to be a squad leader?"

"Every squad leader has made contributions to the Dark Empire. This Wesley fellow isn’t qualified to be our squad leader!"

"Yes, we refuse to have such a squad leader!"

Several Secret Guards, following Luo Qi’s glance, began to cause trouble.

Once one person caused a scene, others would soon follow suit.

If King insisted on forcing people to accept Wesley as the squad leader at this point, he would surely lose their hearts!

Seeing their intentions, anger clouded King’s eyes.

How could he let others bully those under his protection?

Luo Qi also spotted this.

He knew that if anyone dared to object again at this point, King would surely kill them without hesitation.

If that were the case, all the work he and Linxi had put in would be wasted!

For his sister’s happiness, Luo Qi had to compromise.

He sighed, saying helplessly, "King, I know that you have great regard for Wesley. However, the rules of the Dark Empire can’t change easily. So, let’s do this in the name of fairness: if Wesley can find three guards among this crowd who are willing to serve under him, then let him be the squad leader. If he can’t, the position would be in name only and we would have to choose a new squad leader in a fair and just manner."

The other squad leaders readily concurred with what Luo Qi proposed.

And the Secret Guards, those who hoped to rise through their strength and contributions, naturally agreed too.

There weren’t many squad leader positions after all, everyone fought hard for them, so why should they give one to a newcomer?

But King did not see it that way.

They were being superior, looking down on Wesley.

They despised the person he cared for, what right did they have?

A murderous intent flushed through King’s eyes. Without another word, he began to make his move.

But before he could act, Yan Ling at his side quickly reached out and held back his hand, stopping him from getting up.

No one was more aware of the severity of Qi Yunjue’s condition than her at that moment.

If he acted recklessly now, it was likely he would lose his life.

More importantly, Qi Yunjue couldn’t lose his credibility at this stage!

If his cover were blown, his situation would become incredibly dangerous.

Keeping all this in mind, she ignored the man’s protest and announced, "I accept these terms. If I can’t find three members to join me today, I will resign from the squad leader position."

Upon hearing her words, King’s face darkened further.

But Yan Ling didn’t give him an opportunity to speak. Before he could say anything, she quickly reassured him, "Trust me, I can do it!"

Faced with those earnest and clear eyes of hers, King couldn’t utter a word of refusal.

He let go of his hand, swearing quietly to himself that if he were humiliated, he would make those who belittled him pay dearly.

Hearing her words, Luo Qi sneered secretly, crossed his arms, and loudly announced, "All Secret Guards present here can freely choose whether or not to serve this new squad leader."

On hearing this, others also laughed sneeringly, as they knew that no one would willingly serve under Yan Ling.

"Just watch, he’s sure to become a laughingstock."

"A dog hoping to play master here, what nerve."

Sarcasm and snide remarks filled the room, yet Yan Ling didn’t react angrily.

She stood there nonchalantly, waiting for her potential subordinates to approach.

But as time ticked by...

Even half an hour later, no one had stepped forward.
