“Yeah, yeah, that’s not fair.”
“Mr. Lennon, we don’t accept this test.”
None of the security guards Benji brought said anything, and the only ones talking were the original hotel security guards that Valentina had fired.
Valentina’s test was their last chance, but they did not take it. Then they were doomed to be fired. It was why they were objecting now. After all, there could be no worse consequences than this.
Valentina glanced disdainfully at them and said coldly, “When have I changed my mind? Did you listen to what I just said? I said I’ll hire whoever dares to take my punch. When did I say you have to take one punch from me?”
After a pause, Valentina went on to say, “This test is a test of your choice in the face of danger. Some people choose to face danger. Even if they know they aren’t strong enough, they’re willing to try and take a risk.”
“Those who dared to step out and take my punch are people like that. Some are timid, hesitant, overcautious, and not brave enough, those who didn’t come forward are people like that…”
“Don’t you understand the purpose of this test yet?”
“In my opinion, your physical qualities and fighting skills are only secondary. What’s more important is your courage to face danger and your sense of responsibility. I’m sorry, but only these 50 men satisfied me, and all the others failed.”
The security guards Benji brought along were convinced once they heard Valentina say that.
The original hotel security guards that Valentina had fired were now speechless, unable to refute.
Valentina turned around, smiled at the 50 security guards, and said, “Congratulations, you’re hired!”
The burly man was named Matthew Huckleson. He trained in martial arts at a martial arts school when he was little and later learned modern combat under Benji. Therefore, he was the strongest among the 50 security guards. He was also the most arrogant and bold. Otherwise, he would not have been the first to step forward and try Valentina’s punch. Therefore, no one complained that he was made captain.
