Expert Down The Mountain Chapter 8

Cyrus met the manager of the Project Department, Victor Flores. Victor looked him up and down in a calm manner. 

“Here’s your nameplate.” 

Cyrus took it and looked at it. He was assigned as the deputy manager in the Project Department. 

“Thank you, Mr. Flores.” 

“You’re welcome. You may report to your team leader now.” 

After Cyrus left, Victor leaned against his chair and laughed as he shook his head. “What a pity that he’s assigned to Team Rich-Second Generation. I’m just afraid he might be bullied badly.” 

‘Whatever, this has nothing to do with me. I’m just following the chairman’s orders.’ 

Cyrus found Team Four’s office. 

When he entered, he noticed that the office was in a mess and very smoky. He saw a few male and female irresponsible employees gathered around, playing games. They looked extremely playful. 

Cyrus frowned. ‘So… this is the Project Department’s Team Four?’ 

A young man with spiky hair, looking like Super Saiyan, took a glance at him. He was holding a cigarette as he asked, “Who are you?” 

“I’m the new deputy manager, Cyrus Salazar. Which one of you is Mr. Long?” 

“That’s me.” 

The young man with spiky hair put down his phone and gave the rest of the employees a kick. “Stop playing already! Can’t you see that we have a newbie with us?” 

“Oh, okay!” 

The others put down their phones and stood up with Ekialde. Ekialde approached Cyrus and took a good look at him. He then sneered, “So, you’re Cyrus Salazar, huh?” 

Cyrus nodded. 

“Guys, beat him up!” 

Ekialde’s gaze suddenly filled with hatred. The few people at the back took out baseball bats that they had hidden, and rushed forward. Cyrus was a little surprised. ‘What’s happening? Do these people have something against me?’ 

Swoosh! 

Cyrus stepped back, dodging a hit. He then rushed forward, and brought his knee up to hit the young man’s abdomen. 

“Ouch!” 

The young man had a ferocious expression. He spat and his eyes bulged. 

“D*mn it! He knows martial arts! Beat him up!” 

Ekialde was slightly stunned. ‘Ms. Gardner didn’t mention that this recluse knows martial arts!’ 

The group of people swarmed and besieged Cyrus cruelly. 

Clangor was heard from Team Four’s office. It was extremely noisy. 

Everyone in the company who passed by the office walked past swiftly. They thought to themselves, ‘I wonder who’s that unlucky guy who got assigned to the laziest team. Looks like he got beaten up pretty badly. 

‘Pity him!’ 

After five minutes, Team Four’s office became quiet again. 

The other employees in the Project Department looked at the closed door, then shook their heads. They sighed and continued to work on their own tasks. 

In the now quiet Team Four office… 

“What’s your name? Where are you from?” 

“Bro, I’m Ekialde Long. My grandfather is Chester Long, one of the first shareholders of the company…” Ekialde mumbled. He was squatting against the wall with messy hair after getting beaten badly. 

His left hand was supporting his right wrist as he covered his bleeding nose with his sleeves. 

The rest of them were covering their heads with both hands as they squatted against the wall in a row. They were covered in bruises. 

Cyrus sat in an office chair. His clothes were a little wrinkled. He was holding the baseball bat with his right hand. There was a hint of shock in his gaze. 

He then looked at the second guy. “How about you?” 

“I’m Nigel Mason. My grandfather is one of the shareholders…” 

“And you?” 

Cyrus turned to the third person. She looked like a young girl.
