Manager Du had seen many formidable assassins, even elite ones, but Jiang Yi's prowess was unprecedented.
With every move, Jiang Yi unleashed killing blows, leaving his opponents utterly defenseless, with only death awaiting them.
"Manager Du, your subordinates are too weak. They are not qualified to fight Jiang Yi. This matter ends here. If you continue to stir up trouble, you will only cause more of the company's assassins to lose their lives," Manager Yang stated calmly to Manager Du.
Manager Du's face was filled with unwillingness.
As long as Jiang Yi lived, he would not sleep soundly.
This time, he had completely offended Jiang Yi. From now on, it would be either his death or Jiang Yi's.
"All of you, go!"
Manager Du spoke to the surrounding assassins who were merely watching, "This kid Jiang Yi has betrayed our company. He is a traitor to our company and must be killed."
Manager Du directly placed a heavy accusation on Jiang Yi.
These onlookers were not his subordinates. If he wanted to use them to kill Jiang Yi, he needed a suitable excuse.
Therefore, Manager Du directly framed Jiang Yi for betraying the company.
The surrounding assassins hesitated.
They had clearly witnessed Jiang Yi's formidable skills. Engaging him would be nothing short of seeking their own demise.
"Why aren't you acting quickly? Do you also want to betray the company? You should all know the consequences of betraying the company!" Manager Du began to threaten the assassins.
Then, Manager Du declared, "Whoever kills Jiang Yi, I will make him a supervisor! A core member of the company."
Manager Du, with his cunning plans, began to use both coercion and temptation.
Jiang Yi was a little stunned.
He hadn't expected Manager Du to be so shameless.
However, it didn't matter. His goal was to escalate the situation, and he welcomed the idea of the surrounding assassins attacking him.
He could take down as many as he could.
"Enough!"
A voice sounded from behind.
Everyone turned to look in the direction of the voice.
The speaker was a large fatty, easily weighing over two hundred pounds, resembling a giant ball of meat.
This fat man appeared harmless, his face adorned with a smile.
But this was merely an illusion.
This fat man was none other than Young Master Qiu, the son of the company's boss.
"Young Master Qiu!"
Manager Du quickly approached, greeting Young Master Qiu respectfully.
"Hmm!"
Young Master Qiu responded, then surveyed Jiang Yi with his gaze. "I didn't expect our company to have such a skilled master!"
"Young Master Qiu, this kid is a traitor and must be killed!" Manager Du stated.
"Traitor?"
Young Master Qiu's brows furrowed, and he asked Manager Du, "What exactly is going on?"
"Reporting to Young Master Qiu, this kid is a recently recruited assassin. Two days ago, he despicablely killed the Yuwen brothers in the company. Just now, he also killed one of my subordinates, an eighth-level assassin, and over a dozen fourth and fifth-level assassins. This kid is simply a butcher!" Manager Du said with feigned anger.
"He killed so many people?" Young Master Qiu inquired.
"Yes!"
Manager Du quickly affirmed.
"Quite interesting!"
Instead of getting angry, Young Master Qiu grinned and said, "This kid is a talent. How about this! For my sake, let this matter go!"
Hearing this, Manager Du's face filled with resentment.
However, with Young Master Qiu's decree, he was powerless.
"I value this kid highly. From now on, he will stay by my side to assist me. You are forbidden from touching a single hair on his head!" Young Master Qiu stated.
"Yes!"
Manager Du reluctantly complied.
Manager Du never imagined that Young Master Qiu would not only refuse to help him but would instead side with Jiang Yi.
In fact, he understood that Young Master Qiu was impressed by Jiang Yi's skills and wanted to recruit him.
Having exceptional combat skills was naturally the most advantageous in an assassin company.
"Young Master Qiu, I'm afraid this is not possible!"
Manager Yang spoke up to Young Master Qiu, "Jiang Yi is under my command. If Young Master Qiu desires talent, I can find someone else for you."
"What? Are you refusing to listen to me? This is an order!"
Young Master Qiu stared at Manager Yang and said calmly, "Don't forget, I am the General Manager of this company, and you are merely a manager. You are my subordinate. As a subordinate, you dare to defy my orders? I would like to see who gave you the courage."
"Young Master Qiu, I can agree to anything, but I cannot agree to matters concerning Jiang Yi! For years, I have been searching for a promising talent, and now that I have finally found him, Young Master Qiu wants to snatch him away from me," Manager Yang said with great reluctance.
"Less nonsense!"
Young Master Qiu said angrily, "If you are not satisfied, you can report me to my father."
Manager Yang was helpless.
He didn't want to lose Jiang Yi, this promising prospect, but he couldn't contend with Young Master Qiu.
"You are called Jiang Yi, right? Follow me from now on!"
Young Master Qiu's gaze fell upon Jiang Yi as he said, "I am the General Manager of this company, and my father is the boss of this company. Following me offers you the brightest future."
Hearing this, Jiang Yi looked towards Manager Yang.
He had expected Manager Yang to continue contesting with Young Master Qiu.
However, to his surprise, Manager Yang backed down. With a reluctant sigh, he turned and left.
Jiang Yi felt a sense of disappointment.
If Manager Yang did not continue to cause trouble, then this matter could only end here.
"A reward for you!"
Young Master Qiu produced a card and tossed it to Jiang Yi, saying, "From this month onwards, I will give you two million per month. You don't need to take missions. From now on, you will follow me. Whoever I tell you to kill, you kill them. Additionally, you must do your utmost to protect my safety."
Jiang Yi quickly accepted the card, feigning excitement.
"Thank you, Young Master Qiu. Rest assured, Young Master Qiu, I will definitely serve you loyally from now on!" Jiang Yi said quickly.
"Hmm!"
Young Master Qiu nodded in satisfaction. "Follow me, and your future is limitless. When the opportunity arises, I will promote you to a core member of the company. I've been looking at that Manager Yang with displeasure for a long time. When the opportunity comes, I will have him kicked out of the company and appoint you as manager."
Jiang Yi quickly expressed his gratitude.
Jiang Yi felt a pang of confusion.
Didn't Manager Yang say that Young Master Qiu was a good-for-nothing?
But this fellow didn't seem like a good-for-nothing at all. He appeared quite shrewd, knowing how to win people over.
A good-for-nothing wouldn't engage in such tactics to win loyalty.
"Can you drink?" Young Master Qiu suddenly asked.
"Yes!"
Jiang Yi nodded.
"How much can you drink? Can you handle a pound of strong liquor?" Young Master Qiu inquired.
