Dawn of a New Era

Chapter 777 - 750: Security Advisor

A group of people came to visit, not just two individuals.

Three legends and two sub-gods—they would be a formidable force in any country, or even in another world. Even weak divine power would generally not dare to provoke them lightly.

But at this moment, everyone couldn’t help but feel a bit nervous.

Especially since the recent "miracle" was still vivid in their minds, highlighting Chen Shouyi’s unfathomable strength.

"Ms. Bai, what did General Manager Chen say?" Ruan Wentian asked Bai Xiaoling, who just finished a phone call, with a gentle attitude that was even a bit fawning.

He was a Luo Yue descendant, and as someone away from home, he was naturally more cautious than other native legends of the Great Xia Country.

In the Luoyue Country, he once held a supreme status, wielded tremendous power, was respected by everyone, and even counted as a guest of the President. But here, he was just an ordinary legend, not standing out at all.

Despite the disparity in status, if he were to compare, he would still prefer to stay in the Great Xia Country.

Staying in the Luoyue Country, he gained only power and money, but here he could see further hope. For these legends, power and money were external, mere appendages of their legendary status, while strength was the essence.

"Elder Ruan, you’re too polite, just call me Xiao Bai." Bai Xiaoling quickly replied, as the secretary of General Manager Chen, she always received appropriate courtesies. From initially being flustered and overwhelmed by the attention, she had now gotten used to it:

"General Manager Chen agreed, I’ll take you there now."

"Then I’ll trouble Ms. Bai to lead the way."

"You’re welcome."

...

When they arrived, Chen Shouyi was already waiting at the door.

"Why bother announcing your visit? You’ve been here before; there’s no need to be so formal." Chen Shouyi said with a smile, patting the shoulders of Luo Jingwen and Ye Zong.

"Lao Luo’s been here before, but I haven’t," Ye Zong replied, feeling that the other party’s friendliness was genuine, which eased his expression somewhat.

"Oh, right, you haven’t visited since I moved to Zhonghai." Chen Shouyi recalled, then shook hands with An Haoran from the Pantheon, and looked toward the two unfamiliar legends, "Who are these gentlemen? You should introduce yourselves."

Feeling the gaze upon him, Ruan Wentian’s heart tightened sharply, and he hurriedly said:

"General Manager Chen, hello, I’m Ruan Wentian, a descendant of the Luo Yue."

"My name is Karl, your most loyal disciple. It’s an honor to have the opportunity to hear your sacred teachings." The other white man was also visibly nervous, bowing deeply in respect.

"Disciple?" Chen Shouyi said.

"All the martial arts practitioners around the world are your disciples," An Haoran complimented from the side.

"Aren’t they? Nowadays, who practicing martial arts can claim they haven’t practiced your Chen Clan’s training methods?" Luo Jingwen said with a natural smile, "Come to think of it, everyone here is a disciple of General Manager Chen."

"Indeed, indeed!" Ruan Wentian hurriedly agreed.

"You’re exaggerating, I don’t dare to accept such praise." Chen Shouyi modestly replied, feeling a bit embarrassed by the flattery.

The Chen Clan’s training methods—even in their initial version—are not suitable for ordinary people, and not every martial artist can practice them.

Beside him, Ye Zong suddenly felt a bit out of place.

He thought he probably shouldn’t have come.

Luckily, Chen Shouyi quickly resolved the awkward atmosphere.

"Don’t just stand at the door, come inside, Sister Bai, don’t just stand there, go make some tea!" Chen Shouyi instructed.

"Oh, oh! All right!" Bai Xiaoling, who was standing nearby, snapped back to her senses, withdrew her gaze from Chen Shouyi’s handsome face, blushed, and hurried to the kitchen.

"General Manager Chen, there’s no need, we’ll just sit for a while and then leave."

"Yes, yes, we still need to rush back later."

"Why the rush? It’s rare for everyone to visit; have a seat, don’t just stand there, make yourselves at home. Besides, I’m not busy at all." Chen Shouyi said warmly.

...

Half an hour later.

The group walked down the street, filled with emotion.

"I didn’t expect General Manager Chen to be so kind and humble; you couldn’t tell at all," Ruan Wentian said excitedly. Before coming, he had a kind of pilgrimage-like trepidation, but upon seeing him in person, he found that General Manager Chen was completely different from what he imagined.

To be honest, given General Manager Chen’s strength, figures like them—whether legendary or sub-godly—were probably just like ants in his eyes, worth nothing.

Even if he were slightly arrogant, it would be entirely expected and not abrupt at all.

This attitude had indeed caught him by surprise.

"I’ve known him for several years now, and his attitude hasn’t changed much." Luo Jingwen sighed, "The way he was when I first met him is still the same now, but being around him really is stressful."

"Indeed!" Ruan Wentian replied empathetically.

"Perhaps this is why he can become the God of Martial Arts." An Haoran thought to himself, silently admiring.

He himself was a very proud person, and few could earn his respect.

Even the first legendary hero in the world, who has now become a True God, Samir.

In his eyes, was not much more than that.

Becoming a god is more a matter of luck.

If not for his divine path being interrupted by the Lord of Lightning in Yan State, he believed he could now be a True God himself.

But General Manager Chen...

He could only look up to him.

The gap was simply too huge. Besides reverence, there was nothing else.

"By the way, was Karl serious?" Luo Jingwen said at this moment.

The group initially consisted of five people, but four returned, while Karl offered to stay behind.

"He used to be a security consultant for the President of the United States, and perhaps he’s not used to his current life," Ye Zong said, "But General Manager Chen indeed needs an experienced security consultant."

...

After getting off the phone, Chen Shouyi learned about Karl’s file through the High Committee Office and felt extremely satisfied in his heart.

He walked to the living room.

Karl quickly stood up.

"No need to stand, have a seat. Do you have any requests?" Chen Shouyi asked.

"I have no requests; it is my honor to always be able to hear your sacred teachings." Karl cautiously sat down, full of humility.

"I’m not that stingy!" Chen Shouyi laughed, "Since you have no requests, I’ll make the arrangements myself.

Your main duty will be to protect my parents; protect them in secret during the day, and I’ll arrange for a room here for you at night."

His parents’ safety had always been a concern. Although the military was secretly responsible, it was not entirely foolproof.

Now that Karl, a legendary-level professional, was willing to stay, security would undoubtedly be more assured.

"By the way, do you have enough staff?"

"I would like to recruit five to ten martial artists, preferably military personnel," Karl thought for a moment and said, "Military personnel have good discipline; with a bit of training, they can be qualified bodyguards."

"That’s no problem; I’ll call Bai Xiaoling to handle communication with the military for you!" Chen Shouyi said.

A secretary’s job is to do just that!
