There were not many masters among the people Elliot had brought. Even if they all went to the North Sky Association to fight, the odds of winning would be slim.
However, it didn't matter because Tom never counted on them. Although he took so many people with him to fight, he was the only one who was important.
The reason why he still did this was that he wanted to show his attitude.
These people looked each other, and they were all excited.
A few people who were hot-tempered and confident in their martial arts came up to sign the contract. One of them said loudly, "Boss, I'm in! Tomorrow when we have a fight with the North Sky Association, I'll defeat the other party! What a bullshit North Sky Association! They are nothing to me!"
This was a master of Eight Diagrams Palm and Passing Back Fist. He was about 40 years old, and his eyes were very big. His hair was very thick, and his neck was very strong. It was obvious that he was a good fighter.
Tom smiled and said, "Very well. If you can defeat a master of the North Sky Association tomorrow, I will reward you with 100,000 dollars."
When the martial artist heard this, his eyes lit up immediately!
He was from the countryside, and his ancestors had practiced Eight Diagrams Palm. Later, he went to the village next door to find an elder to learn about Passing Back Fist. However, apart from martial arts, he had no special skills. As a decorator in the countryside, he only earned a few thousand dollars a month.
Now he had this opportunity to come to the big city, where he could earn money as a bodyguard. A few hundred thousand dollars a year was a great incentive for him!
There were a lot of people like him. Most of the martial artists here were from the countryside. They were very poor and had no other ability except for fighting.
Of course, there were also two boxers from big cities. Their income was higher and they were more ambitious. They realized that the North Sky Association was definitely not that easy to deal with.
However, after hesitating for a while, they gritted their teeth and decided to sign the contract. Anyway, it was a society ruled by law. Even if they got into a fight, they would probably get beaten up, but they wouldn't be killed.
There were seven or eight special troops left, and they signed the contract neatly.
These seven or eight special troops, strictly speaking, did not retire from military service smoothly. Instead, they committed crimes or got into a fight in the army, so they were dismissed from the army. They were good at stirring up troubles. Nonetheless, they had changed a lot in the society. Even if they encountered injustice, they did not dare to attack ordinary people. Now that they had the opportunity to show off their abilities, of course they agreed without hesitation.
At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps coming from the door. Then, a tall figure appeared in front of everyone. It was Simon.
With a haughty expression on his face, he looked at Tom with disdain, then strode over and said, "I'm in."
Tom smiled faintly and said, "Okay. Sign the contract."
Simon did not sign the contract immediately, but glared at Tom with obvious hostility and provocation on his face. He was very dissatisfied with Tom and did not show any respect. He said in a frivolous tone, "I want 300,000 dollars a month, with 100,000 dollars for myself and 200,000 dollars for my cousin."
Tom shook his head without thinking, "No. The annual salary of the newcomers is 200,000 dollars."
"Then I quit!" Simon glared at Tom and said fiercely.
However, Tom just ignored him.
Simon was angry. He had always been unhappy with Tom, and now Tom dared to ignore him, making him even angrier.
In the past three days, his cousin kept ignoring him. He knew that his cousin liked the guy in front of him, so Tom was his rival! That was why he came over, intending to teach this guy a lesson.
