"If you're all truly this pathetic, I don't even have the slightest interest in toying with you." Wu Tian was very disappointed. The 108 men lowered their heads in shame. They were actually inferior to a little girl, and that wasn't even the worst of it. A bird and a dog had both performed better than them, which was utterly humiliating. Wu Tian continued, "Now, all of you, stand at attention."
The 108 men immediately stood ramrod straight, doing their best to steady their breathing.
Wu Tian looked at the thirty-six men selected from the Underworld. "Vicious Dog's henchmen, step forward."
They stepped out proudly. Their performance this time wasn't good, but it wasn't bad either. However, they were proud because they had been pitted against the guards of the Cui Family of Qinghe. At first, they didn't understand the significance of this, but after looking it up online, everything became clear. On top of that, they had also competed against the Wei Wu soldiers.
They were immensely proud of this achievement.
"The last three, step out as well," Wu Tian said.
Vicious Dog and two of his men reluctantly stepped forward. The two henchmen looked fine, just like everyone else, but Vicious Dog was staggering. He had tried his best, but he really couldn't outrun the others. He had only entered the Underworld this year. Before that, he'd been a good student, so how could he possibly compare to them?
Vicious Dog expected to be scolded, but he wasn't.
Instead, Wu Tian said, "You did very well. From my perspective, your stamina shouldn't have been enough to get you this far."
Vicious Dog nodded and said, "My... my stamina is poor. All I have is my intellect. I even looked up some special forces training methods yesterday."
"Oh? And what do you have to say?" Wu Tian's tone was flat.
Vicious Dog replied, "There's a lot to say, but it's useless without personal experience. The most relevant point right now is that you shouldn't drink water until you've fully recovered."
Wu Tian nodded, then looked at Vicious Dog's men and said coldly, "You all ran quite fast, didn't you?"
Wu Tian's tone was clearly hostile.
They sensed trouble, but they couldn't understand why. After all, they weren't in the last three.
Why does Mr. Wu Tian seem displeased with us?
Wu Tian said coldly, "From now on, you will wash everyone's clothes."
Upon hearing this, Vicious Dog's men were confused. The Cui Family guards and Xiao Liang's Wei Wu soldiers were also completely bewildered.
One of the men, though frightened, hesitated before stammering, "I... I object."
It was a simple objection, but saying it to Wu Tian's face was incredibly difficult. He shivered, taking a long, stuttering breath before he finally managed to get the words out.
"Object?" Wu Tian smiled. "What do you object to?"
The brawny man swallowed hard and summoned his courage. "Our... our speed wasn't any worse than the Cui Family guards or the Wei Wu soldiers. What's wrong with that?"
Vicious Dog's other men also nodded in agreement, their faces full of indignation, as if they had been deeply wronged by Wu Tian.
Wu Tian found it amusing. "Okay, I'll tell you the reason," he said coldly. "You are Vicious Dog's men, aren't you? Yet, with the exception of two people, the rest of you abandoned him. What does that tell you? It tells you that in your hearts, you don't consider him your leader! I put you through this test to foster unity, not for you to abandon your own. Do you understand now?"
Hearing this, they glanced at Vicious Dog shamefully before lowering their heads one by one.
Wu Tian said, "Remember, this is a one-time thing. From now on, when I tell you to do something, I have my reasons. You just do it. No questions asked. Understand?"
The sheer authority in Wu Tian's voice made them break out in a cold sweat, none daring to look up.
Wu Tian then looked at Vicious Dog's men, his voice so calm it was frightening. "Now, do you still object?"
