Gary’s words immediately aroused the dissatisfaction of the female secretary, Amelia.
Amelia snapped, “Gary, watch yourself. How can you talk to the chairman like that?”
However, Gary showed no sign of remorse and remained defiant.
The security guards training in the distance and the coaches instructing the guards noticed the commotion at Benji’s side and walked over with curiosity.
Benji said with a wry smile, “Coach Holton, you don’t have to worry about me hiring them and firing you. You should know I was in the army, and they were my comrades. They’re only here to visit me today. I brought them here to give them a tour.”
Gary chuckled as soon as he heard Benji’s remark. “I knew it… These two people look too weak. How can they be martial artists? They only know a bit about combat skills at most… I’m gonna stop. Sir, I’ll get back to training the security guards if there’s nothing else.”
With that said, Gary turned away to leave.
Geena took a step forward, looking indignantly at Gary as he prepared to scold him.
Nori raised his hand to stop Geena and said to Gary’s back in the distance. “Coach Holton, why don’t you fight me? I’m confident I can beat you in one move.”
There was a burst of laughter all around as soon as he said that.
The people laughing were the 200 or so security guards and the coaches who came close to watch the show. They looked mockingly at Nori, their eyes full of scorn. Even Amelia looked suspiciously at Nori.
“That’s the funniest joke I’ve ever heard!”
Gary stopped and turned to look at Nori with disdain.
Benji quickly said to Nori, “Command… Mr. Jamie, I paid Coach Holton a huge salary to train the security guards. You might not know this, but Coach Holton has competed in the national martial arts competition and won… He’s famous in Dragon Kingdom’s fighting circle, not to mention Midwich.”
Benji knew Nori was strong. After all, he used to work for Nori.
If Nori fought Gary, Benji believed Nori would win. However, Benji did not think Nori was capable of defeating Gary in a single move.
After all, Gary was a national champion. He was well-known in the martial arts world and had competed in many competitions before. It sounded too exaggerated when Nori said he could beat Gary with one move.
“Benji, it seems we haven’t seen each other for so long that you don’t have confidence in me any more,” Nori smiled at Benji.
