“Yes, Ms. Vieto!” The manager nodded hurriedly and stepped forward to complain to Vieto, “Ever since the industry learned that you left us, Ms. Vieto, more and more of our competitors are dissatisfied with our position. They have joined forces to target us. They are doing everything they can to spread bad news about us, and they are desperately trying to steal our resources and prevent us from developing new clients. Our company is suffering terribly because of their united efforts!”

"Oh... this challenge, is that their idea?" Veneto asked.

"Yes!"

“No wonder that’s how it is.” Veneto nodded, then shook his head with a hint of helplessness. “Instead of improving their own capabilities, these competitors are starting to envy companies with better reputations and resorting to such underhanded tactics to punish the same enemies. They’re really pathetic.”

"Sister Vinetto is right!" Upon hearing Veneto's words, the bodyguards around them were immediately excited, as if they had received great affirmation, and shouted in unison.

“You’ve suffered a lot these past few days,” Veneto said with emotion.

"Sister Vito, Sister Vito... Sister Vito is indeed on our side..." Everyone's eyes lit up with emotion when they saw Veneto's gentle expression.

"In short, I understand the specifics." Veneto closed his eyes. "You were the ones who sent people to my house to look for me, weren't you?"

"Yes, yes...it happened a few days ago...we really need you...Sister Wei, we have a favor to ask..." The manager looked embarrassed, nervously wiping the sweat from his forehead, "This martial arts sparring match actually represents the final negotiation between the industry and us. If we can win this challenge, it means we are qualified to continue in our current positions...Now the third round is about to begin, and unfortunately, we have been chosen for women's combat...this has always been a weakness for our company...so..."

The manager, head bowed nervously, spoke to Veneto.

Although the request wasn't stated directly, both Veneto and Xiaobai could understand the meaning behind the manager's words.

Veneto didn't reply to the manager immediately; she just silently looked at Xiaobai.

Veneto looked at Xiaobai for her opinion, and she tightened her grip on Xiaobai's hand slightly.

Xiaobai felt the pressure coming from Veneto's hand and smiled slightly.

“Veneto, they are your friends, right?” Little White asked Veneto.

“Yes.” Veneto nodded.

"If a friend has been bullied, it's understandable to step in and teach the bad guys a lesson."

“…I understand!” Veneto’s eyes shone brightly, and she nodded vigorously.

Little White released Veneto's hand.

Veneto looked at the manager again, his eyes filled with justice and determination.

Chapter 2485 The World's Strongest Bodyguard

Perhaps because they had just celebrated in the lounge, the group in black shirts did not notice the commotion that had just occurred in the gym.

The smiles that hadn't faded from the faces of the people who came out of the lounge were still there, especially the general manager in the black shirt who looked refreshed as he approached the man in the suit and cupped his hands in greeting.

"As expected of a big company, even the lounge is so luxurious."

"Really? Thank you for the compliment." The man in the suit said calmly.

"Haha, it's just that we got a little carried away while discussing tactics in the break room, and made a bit of a mess," the general manager in the black shirt said with a smile. "For example, there might be some spilled liquor or bits of latte art. I'm afraid we'll have to trouble your company's cleaning staff to clean it up."

"It seems you have victory in your grasp." The man in the suit was silent for a moment before suddenly speaking.

"Hahahaha—" The general manager laughed twice, but didn't offer any explanation. He simply cupped his hands in a gesture of respect to the man in the suit, "We're colleagues, friendship comes first, competition second!"

"..."

Faced with the black-shirted general manager's overbearing behavior, the man in the suit remained unfazed. He didn't say anything for a moment, but just stared at them with a very peculiar look.

That look... was like that of parents who already knew their child had failed an exam, watching their child come home from school with a clearly altered report card, looking at them with a straight face and no batting an eye.

The look in that eyes made the general manager in the black shirt feel extremely uncomfortable.

He subconsciously looked around at the men in suits and then noticed that the bodyguards who had been staring at him with anger and resentment were now strangely calm. Most of the people present were looking at him with a "slightly pitying" gaze.

Ok?

what happened?

Weren't these people all eager to devour me alive before? How come their attitude changed completely the moment I took them to the lounge to open a bottle of champagne?

Are they... going to renege on their debt?!

Thinking of this, the general manager in the black shirt felt a sudden pang of unease.

“Colleagues, this martial arts exchange is a friendly gesture recognized within the industry. You wouldn’t do anything foolish, would you?” The general manager in the black shirt quickly asked the man in the suit, adding a somewhat stern warning, “You, you can’t suddenly back out!”

"Hehe." The man in the suit suddenly smiled at the general manager in the black shirt. "Colleague, you're overthinking it."

"Then these three matches still count, right?" the black-shirted general manager quickly confirmed. "Today's martial arts exchange was also a mutually agreed-upon result, so there's no problem, right?"

“Of course.” The man in the suit nodded. “This third round will still be a women’s combat match.”

"Phew..." Hearing the man in the suit's words, the general manager in the black shirt, who had been on edge, finally breathed a sigh of relief. His gaze gradually calmed down, and his expression as he looked at the man in the suit became more relaxed. "That's good, that's good... Let's start the third round of the competition quickly."

"Before we begin the competition, I'd like to ask you something," the man in the suit interrupted. "You two must have rested thoroughly in the lounge, right?"

"What's wrong?" The general manager in the black shirt frowned.

"I was thinking that this sparring match is of great significance to both of us. If one side is not well prepared, the result may be hard to convince the public..." the man in the suit said slowly.

"We've had plenty of rest and preparation!" the general manager in the black shirt immediately interrupted the man in the suit.

"Really?" the man in the suit asked again.

"You're so annoying!" The general manager in the black shirt frowned. "We're very well prepared! Very well prepared! We're going into this sparring match at 100%! Okay?"

"That's good." Upon hearing this, the man in the suit suddenly gave the general manager in the black shirt a strange smile.

Seeing that smile, the general manager in the black shirt felt uneasy all over.

Their expressions made it seem as if they were terrified they would renege on their debt...

Just kidding, why would I renege on a game I'm sure to win?

Making a fuss over nothing...

The general manager in the black shirt muttered to himself, suppressing his displeasure, before turning to look at the female bodyguards behind him.

Looking at the proud and dashing female bodyguards behind him, the general manager in the black shirt felt much better.

"Lin Ning, step forward!" the general manager in the black shirt shouted to the female bodyguard team.

"To!"

A tall, tanned woman wearing sunglasses stepped out from the front of the line. She stopped in front of the general manager in the black shirt, stomped her foot to steady herself, and the loose black shirt billowed slightly with her movement, revealing six well-defined abdominal muscles. She tensed her thighs and arms, instantly making her limbs appear thicker, her whole body taut like a fully drawn bow.

What a strong woman!

The men around were slightly taken aback by the imposing presence of the woman who stepped forward.

“Hey, fellow businessmen, don’t say we’re bullying you.” The general manager in the black shirt turned to the man in the suit and said, “You should know Lin Ning, right? She’s our company’s strongest female bodyguard. She’s really hot right now, and even ordinary male bodyguards can’t get much of an advantage over her.”

"Indeed impressive." The man in the suit nodded as he looked at the woman who stepped forward.

"Enough with the small talk, let's get to the third round of the arena." The general manager in the black shirt didn't even ask the man in the suit who had chosen his team before unilaterally urging them on.

The man in the suit chuckled but said nothing.

The female bodyguard named Lin Ning walked up to the man in the suit, took off her sunglasses, and bowed to him.

"Miss Lin, it's been a long time." The man in the suit nodded to the female bodyguard. "We last met about two years ago, right? You were still a newcomer then."

"Manager Chen, I'm very sorry for challenging you this time." Lin Ning's face showed a slight look of shame. "I had previously advised our manager to try to have a fairer competition, but..."

"It's alright." The man in the suit nodded appreciatively at Lin Ning. "You're just following orders, I understand. You don't need to go easy on us."

“…Yes,” Lin Ning replied. “I will visit you afterwards to apologize.”

"Haha, let's talk after we win."

"I'm sorry, but I can't possibly lose."

"Ha ha……"

The man in the suit simply smiled at this.

After greeting the man in the suit, Lin Ning quickly put away her embarrassed expression and returned to a very serious state. She put away her sunglasses, gently stretched her strong biceps, then walked to the edge of the ring and lightly jumped, leaping onto the three-meter-high ring like a spring.

Seeing his contestant step onto the ring, the general manager in the black shirt beside him smiled.

"Now that Lin Ning has entered the arena, there's no need to even look at the outcome."

The general manager in the black shirt muttered smugly to himself.

The bodyguard company where the black-shirted general manager works specializes in training outstanding female bodyguards. To train female bodyguards, the company is willing to spend more than ten times the resources of male bodyguards, and also spend an enormous amount of time researching corresponding training methods for female bodyguards. Furthermore, it is willing to offer salaries far exceeding the average to recruit outstanding female bodyguard talents. Therefore, the female bodyguards who come out of this company are all top-notch in the industry. Lin Ning, in particular, is the most talented and best-fighting female bodyguard he has ever seen in his career. She is the best of the best and represents the ultimate combat power among all female bodyguards.

In today's industry, it's simply impossible for a female bodyguard to be able to defeat Lin Ning.

In the mind of the black-shirted general manager, he had never imagined that his player would lose.

"The number one security company in Yuncheng, is it... You have no reason to lose." The manager in the black shirt muttered softly, a smile spreading across his face. "Using Lin Ning to carry you away is the greatest respect we can show to your senior company..."

The manager in the black shirt muttered to himself, glancing at Lin Ning, who was standing alone in the arena, and then at the men in suits.

Then, the general manager in the black shirt frowned.

Under the gaze of the black-shirted general manager, the man in the suit leisurely dusted off his hands, seemingly having no intention of sending a female bodyguard into the ring.

"Hey, our contestants have already taken the stage, why aren't you coming up yet?" the general manager in the black shirt asked, frowning.

"Oh? Didn't you see our competitors?" The man in the suit lowered his hands and looked over with a smile when he heard the general manager in the black shirt's voice. "Is the ring too high for you to notice? Our contestants have been waiting for you on the ring for a long time."

"Huh? Your contestant? Wasn't the arena just Lin Ning alone...?" The general manager in the black shirt paused, then instinctively stood on tiptoe to look at the arena. "Look, this arena is so big..."

The general manager in the black shirt stopped speaking at this point.

The general manager in the black shirt widened his eyes instantly.

Sure enough, if you stand on tiptoe, you can see a girl standing in one corner of the ring.

"……ah???"

The moment the general manager in the black shirt saw the contestant appearing on the side of the man in the suit, he couldn't help but gasp, his pupils shrinking in shock.

……

In the arena.

Lin Ning, who had just stepped onto the stage, stood there dumbfounded, mouth agape, staring at the white-haired little girl not far from him.

"Yes, it's you. You weren't this tall last time we met. Looks like you've made good progress in your cultivation these past few years." The white-haired girl in the distance looked at Lin Ning calmly. She slightly raised her delicate chin, her agate-like red eyes filled with the scrutiny and authority of an elder. "...Little girl?"

Chapter 2486 Want to back out? No way!

Lin Ning is a full 1.8 meters tall.

The white-haired little girl not far away looked to be only a head taller than Lin Ning's navel.

Judging from their appearances, Lin Ning was a battle-hardened, muscular, and powerfully built female warrior, while her opponent was merely a delicate little girl with snow-white, soft skin and a doll-like appearance, showing no signs of training. When these two were on the same stage, it was like a chaotic brawl between two anime characters with completely different art styles, giving onlookers an extremely strong sense of incongruity.

But at this moment, when Lin Ning looked at the white-haired girl in front of her, she was so shocked that her eyes trembled and her legs went weak.

"You...you are...Wei, Sister Wei...?!!" Lin Ning exclaimed in shock.

"Oh? You remember me, don't you?" Veneto calmly crossed his arms and raised an eyebrow at Lin Ning. "Not bad."

"I, of course I remember!!" Upon hearing this, Lin Ning immediately stood up straight excitedly, looking at Veneto with joyful eyes, "Sister Veneto, when...when did you come back!"

Lin Ning is indeed unstoppable in the current female bodyguard industry.

However, Lin Ning's unstoppable power has one premise: her invincibility is limited to the current female bodyguard industry.

Actually.

If this were a year ago, Lin Ning would have been far from being the most powerful female bodyguard in the industry.

In today's industry, if you grab any qualified person and ask them who the world's strongest bodyguard was, everyone will give the same answer: Sister Wei from Yuncheng's No.1 Security Protection Company!

While Sister Wei may not be the most skilled bodyguard in the world, she is definitely the most combat-capable bodyguard in the world!

She was a special person who, despite being a delicate woman, had managed to subdue countless bodyguards in just two years since her debut! It is said that she possesses the most harmless appearance in the world, but at the same time, she also possesses the most terrifying fighting power in the world. Anyone who dares to mock her appearance will be punished by her with terrifying methods!

Two years ago, Lin Ning, who had just won the title of Rookie Bodyguard, already knew this name like the back of his hand!

Lin Ning naturally longed for Sister Wei.

Lin Ning racked her brains trying to find a way to meet Sister Wei.

Finally, at a large-scale bodyguard exchange conference, Lin Ning got to meet Sister Vito as he wished. At that time, Lin Ning, who was still very ignorant of his own limitations, proposed to Sister Vito the idea of ​​exchanging skills. As a result, he was naturally given a one-sided lecture by Vito without any politeness.

"Sister Vinetto! Thank you for your guidance two years ago!" Lin Ning bowed deeply to Vinetto. "I benefited greatly from it!"

“Hmm… when I first met you two years ago, I thought you were a good newcomer.” Veneto nodded. “I didn’t expect that only two years later, you seem to be regarded as the strongest female bodyguard here?”

"No, I wouldn't dare!!" Lin Ning exclaimed in alarm, immediately lowering her head.

"This is everyone's praise for your hard work, please accept it." Veneto smiled slightly, seemingly not minding anything.
