Chapter 410: Chapter 409: Race of Three

"I’m really sorry, I went a bit too hard," Lin Tian said honestly as he looked at Stone, who had collapsed to the ground.

Miss, however, glared at him fiercely and muttered under her breath, calling him a show-off.

Ning Weiguo glanced at Thunder Wolf and chuckled, "Thunder Wolf, did you see that clearly?"

"No... not at all, I couldn’t see clearly," Thunder Wolf, still shaken, stuttered and then thought for a moment before adding, "I’ve only seen such speed from Instructor Ning."

The remaining five mercenaries, observing Lin Tian, could not hide their astonishment.

"My brothers, do you think we need to continue this contest?" Lin Tian surveyed the group and asked.

"We concede," the mercenaries said decisively.

This wasn’t a question of daring or not, but rather, they recognized the gap in their capabilities clearly. They were brainy mercenaries, not mindless brutes.

Lin Tian didn’t look down on them; on the contrary, he appreciated them. He wanted guards who could think, not just brutes who knew how to fight.

"Don’t worry, Stone is fine," Lin Tian reassured them as they looked worriedly at the unconscious Stone. He guessed the five were influenced by his previous comment and thought he had really hit hard.

With that, Lin Tian squatted down and pressed a few acupoints on Stone, who slowly regained consciousness.

"Brother Lin, what just happened...?" Stone got up and his first question was about the attack.

"Oh, I just walked behind you and knocked you out. Are you feeling okay?" Lin Tian casually explained, spreading his hands.

Stone and the other few mercenaries were lost for words. What a casual way to describe a speed that was even faster than a flying eagle—quite demoralizing.

Lin Tian, however, didn’t think much of it; the speed he used just then was actually restrained. If it were Miss or Luoxi, they could’ve handled it completely.

"Brother Lin, oh, no, leader, you are our leader from now on. We joyously join Tianxuan Security," Stone yelled firmly and loudly.

Lin Tian turned to look at the other five mercenaries, who also nodded resolutely.

"Xu Hongyang!"

"Ren Fei!"

"Jiang Tongguang!"

"Xie Peng!"

"Wu Di!"

"Reporting in!" the five men shouted their names and saluted neatly.

"Hahaha, very good, very good, welcome to the six warriors joining Tianxuan Security!" With six capable assistants, Lin Tian was overjoyed, and in his elated mood, he burst out laughing generously.

After laughing, Lin Tian felt something was off about the last name. He looked at the last person, the tallest and strongest among them, whose build could rival that of a Western strongman and stood half a head taller than Lin Tian.

"Is your name... Invincible?" Lin Tian asked uncertainly.

"Boss, you might not know this, but when I first met him, I was shocked too that someone dared to use the name ’Invincible.’ Actually, it’s Wu Di, with ’Wu’ from ’sky’ and ’Di’ as in the ’Di’ next to ’walk,’" Xu Hongyang explained with a laugh.

"So that’s how it is." Lin Tian suddenly realized, though the name did have a commanding presence befitting his tall stature.

"Boss, Xiao Xu is right. I’m the machine gunner in the team, nicknamed Gatling," Wu Di said.

Lin Tian knew what Gatling meant—it was a type of rapid-fire machine gun with several independent barrels that rotated during shooting, capable of firing two thousand to six thousand bullets per minute, immensely powerful, nothing it hit remained intact.

"I’ve told you not to call me Xiao Xu just because you’re taller. I’m still two months older than you." Xu Hongyang expressed his dissatisfaction, then said to Lin Tian, "Boss, I’m the assault man."

"And what about you three?" Lin Tian pointed and asked the three including Stone.

"Stone, vice-captain and the second sniper," Stone also answered, then added, "When Ghost Captain is here, I’m the spotter."

Lin Tian nodded, thinking that Stone indeed was capable. Otherwise, he wouldn’t hold multiple roles, able to command in battle, excel in long-range sniping, and engage in close combat. It was just a pity he wasn’t an Ancient Martial Artist; otherwise, he would have been perfect.

Then Lin Tian laughed at himself slightly, feeling too greedy. Having such impressive mercenaries, and six of them at once, he should be content.

According to the bodyguard ranking, these six people had already reached the level of a silver shield bodyguard. With such strength, they were quite distinguished in the bodyguard world, not to mention the presence of Ghost, whose level was unknown.

"Jiang Tongguang, demolition expert,"

"Xie Peng, communicator, driver, combat medic, and I’m Stone’s spotter when Ghost Captain isn’t around."

The last two continued with their information, with Xie Peng also assuming multiple roles. Though they each had clear roles, they undoubtedly could master each other’s skills as well.

What they described was the ideal state, but in war, things were never so simple. The battlefield changes in the blink of an eye; accidents can happen anytime. If one person gets hurt, the others must be able to fill in.

They were weapons experts, versatile drivers, bomb diffusers, raiders, and knew basic surgery. That’s what special forces soldiers were.

Just when Lin Tian and the others were harmoniously engaging, a tragic scream suddenly came from the staircase.

"Ah..., my aged wine!" Thunder Wolf cried out dramatically, as if losing a bottle of old wine was as bad as losing his life.

Lin Tian shook his head amusedly, leading the six back to the front of the staircase, where everyone’s expressions now varied. Thunder Wolf seemed to resign himself to the loss of the wine, staring at Lin Tian more curiously, desiring to know more about him, while Ning Weiguo’s fondness for Lin Tian grew.

Xiao Manxuan naturally looked proud, Miss and Ning Luoxi’s eyes twinkled with an unexplained gleam. Perhaps even they didn’t know what they were thinking. This man wasn’t just physically strong; he could easily tame a group of unruly mercenaries, something not achievable by sheer physical strength alone.

If there were those who remained composed, it was Rossi and Ghost, and among them, Rossi was the most serene, knowing that his master was an almost immortal zombie, beyond ordinary understanding.

"Brother Lin Tian, are you interested in having a match with me?" Thunder Wolf stood up, staring straight at Lin Tian, he asked.

He wanted to know what else Lin Tian had aside from speed.

"You want to compete with me? No, no, I have a better proposal," Lin Tian shook his head and said, "Don’t you want another match with Ghost? How about the three of us have a match together, what do you think?"

"Three people?" Ghost was puzzled, not understanding what he meant. A melee?

Thunder Wolf also didn’t understand. He had experienced melees before, but he intuitively felt that this young man’s suggestion wasn’t that simple.

"How would the three of us compete?" Thunder Wolf asked.

Lin Tian glanced at the SWAT team’s assault rifle and calmly said, "Live targets."
