Chapter 121 – The Employed Applicants
*****Having been completely immersed in their anxious thoughts, most of the applicants nearly jumped out of their seats as soon as they heard the abrupt sound of a door opening, while several sucked in sharp breaths.Even the two lead guards, who had been silently exchanging murderous eye contact with Fatty Benny, instinctively turned toward the sound.This time, however, it wasn't the interview office.It was the main entrance.A moment later, the supervising guard strode inside.His steps were measured and unhurried, yet every footfall seemed to carry invisible authority.The instant he entered, the atmosphere shifted again, as though an even greater pressure had settled over the room.Meanwhile, once the two lead guards caught sight of the supervisor, their pupils contracted sharply.Without realizing it, every trace of arrogance, overbearing authority, and the domineering air around them collapsed in an instant.Then they quietly shrank into themselves, looking so ordinary that t
Chapter 120 – The Applicants’ Anxiousness
*****Although Fatty Benny agreed outwardly not to pursue the matter anymore, anyone could tell from the tone of his voice that he was swallowing his frustration rather than accepting the situation.Meanwhile, unlike Benny, nearly everyone else in the waiting room secretly celebrated.Only Leon showed traces of sympathy.The remaining applicants, however, couldn't stop the excitement bubbling inside them.'Hehehe... Two competitors are already out.’That thought echoed repeatedly through their minds.Several people even struggled to hide the smiles tugging at the corners of their mouths.Without speaking, four of the remaining applicants quietly exchanged glances, each understanding exactly what the others were thinking.‘You're my competition now.’With that realization came two completely opposite emotions.On one hand, there was relief.If Nicholas and Benny were truly eliminated, then everyone else's chances had naturally increased.But on the other hand, an even heavier pressure
Chapter 119 – Fatty Benny’s Rage II
*****The unmistakable sound of a door opening echoed through the waiting area.The abrupt noise sliced through the heated atmosphere like a sharp blade, and… everyone instinctively froze.The argument came to an abrupt halt.Before they even realized what they were doing, every head turned toward the source of the sound.At that exact moment, the office door where the interviews were being conducted slowly swung open, and… Nicholas stepped out.For an instant, no one reacted.The waiting room became so silent that even the humming of the air conditioner seemed unusually loud.The applicants merely stared at Nicholas, their expressions blank, almost as though their minds had failed to process what they were seeing.Several long seconds passed before someone finally muttered in a dazed voice,"Didn't... he just go inside?"The words snapped a few people back to reality.They blinked repeatedly before instinctively glancing at the wall clock, then someone's eyes widened."He wasn't even
Chapter 118 – Fatty Benny’s Rage
*****“Do you think they'll set their prejudice aside and give him the same amount of attention they gave the rest of us?” One of the applicants suddenly asked, sweeping his gaze across the room.The moment those words fell, the laughter and idle gossip filling the waiting area vanished as though someone had cut them off with a knife.Silence descended once more.The applicants exchanged meaningful glances, and although no one answered immediately, the reluctance in their expressions was impossible to miss.After a brief pause, one man finally let out a sigh.“Even if they've already decided what to do with him, this is still an official interview,” he said. “No matter how angry they are, they'll probably go through the motions and give him roughly the same amount of time they gave us.”Hearing that explanation, many of the applicants unconsciously relaxed, and several nodded in agreement.With that, the oppressive knot in their chests loosened ever so slightly.Then another applicant
Chapter 117 – The Interview Room II
*****‘Previous Occupation: Soldier.’As soon as he read this, the atmosphere inside the office instantly shifted.His pupils contracted sharply, and the irritation on his face vanished completely, replaced by surprise.He blinked several times, then slowly, he raised his head toward Nicholas.He stared at him for several seconds, then he lowered his head to the application.He looked at Nicholas again, and… almost exactly like his partner had done moments earlier, he began to alternate between Nicholas and the paper.Watching both men repeatedly compare his face with the paper, Nicholas couldn't help but become mildly bewildered.His brows rose ever so slightly.‘Is there really something that shocking written on that form?’ he wondered.Before he could think further, however, one of the guards suddenly slammed a palm onto the desk."Do you know," he barked coldly, glaring straight at Nicholas, "that impersonating military personnel is a serious criminal offense?"His eyes narrowed d
Chapter 116 – The Interview Room
*****Meanwhile, the moment Nicholas stepped into the office, the atmosphere changed completely.The room wasn't particularly large.A sturdy wooden desk occupied the center, while the two lead guards sat behind it.These were the very same men who had earlier strutted through the waiting room with the dignity of kings inspecting commoners.Yet now, not even the slightest trace of that composed authority remained.Their expressions were darker than storm clouds, their jaws were tightly clenched, and their foreheads bulged with visible veins.The air itself felt unusually heavy."That damned Fatty..." One of them ground his teeth so hard it almost sounded painful. "He actually dared..."His fist tightened until his knuckles turned white.The other guard slammed a palm against the desk. "How dare he!"His face flushed red with lingering humiliation.The two men were so consumed by whatever Benny had done that they continued muttering angrily under their breath, almost forgetting why the
