Chapter 363: Dal Valley Security

"If you want to cry. Do it outside. I want to sleep." Long Yi said and ignored Huang Xiaoxuan's antics. Sometimes, he wondered why he agreed to marry this woman. However, he was reminded of the divorce paper that he already prepared for her after she gave birth. After the divorce is finalized, Long Yi isn't planning to see Huang Xiaoxuan again.

"You— "

Long Yi clicked his tongue before leaving the room.

….

Just as Lyca expected, someone ordered a surprise drug test on the second day of the competition. Every one of them, including Lyca and Shen Qui, was asked to take a drug test. Of course, they all had negative results.

"If they wanted to target us then… our results should have been positive, right?" Cleo chided. "How come they are targeting us over and over again? Are they really tired of living?"

Just like Cleo, everyone in the room had a dark look on their faces. "Do you think it worked?" Chu Nan couldn't help but ask. He had stayed with Ma Ping and the rest in Ralia, and he sincerely liked them. Seeing them suffer like last night was enough to make him angry.

"Of course. Just wait until she comes back." Cleo had confidence in her tone. Lyca was a woman who could do miracles. She could save and kill at the same time. She is her goddess, and she would blindly trust Lyca with all her heart.

"You are that confident. That thing that she gave them… have you seen that before?"

"No."

"And you still thought it would help them recover their strength?"

"Yes." She had seen her create miracles before. There is no need to question Lyca's ability. Since she promised to do it, then… she would do it!

The door was suddenly opened, and Lyca with Shen Qui walked inside. They were followed by Hogan.

"Did it work?" Cleo asked.

"Hm, more or less. Everyone can compete now." Shen Qui nodded.

"Then? What are we waiting for? Let's go!"

.........….

The news that everyone can compete is not only surprising to Chu Nan but to Long Yi and some executives who already expected that they won't join today's competition.

When they heard that the group of twenty-six people are already up and in their formation outside of their building, many people were really curious if the rumors about food poisoning were true. Was it something that they just made up to make people happy and crash their hopes at the last hour?

"How could they even stand up? I already talked to some staff who were able to take those bottled water! All of them went to the hospital too. Some of them even fell into a coma. How could those people withstand a poison like that?" Xie Jun complained.

"I told you, Lyca is brilliant. Now she must have thought that we did it." Zhang Zhi gnashed his teeth. Long Yi didn't tell them anything about Lyca's visit the other night, so they were still thinking that she would accuse them.

"The worse that she could do is try to poison us. We have doctors and everything around us had been thoroughly checked. Even the PH level of the water that we drink is checked for some reason. This meant that we are safe from poison. However, if she had ways to retaliate against us then… we could easily ask the committee to disqualify her." Xie Jun had this brilliant idea of baiting Lyca. However, he didn't say those words to Long Yi. Moreover, it was too risky. What if she would kill them immediately? What was the use of baiting her when they were already dead?

"Why are you so silent?" Zhang Zhi asked Long Yi.

"I was just thinking why would someone want to frame us."

Almost immediately, silence followed his words. Long Yi added, "Clearly, someone wanted her to target us because of what happened last night. But who could it be?"

The silence continued before they decided to lead their people to the area for the competition.

"All companies, even the ones who failed and weren't able to become a part of the top three are here." Xie Jun couldn't help but mumble. "This competition is pretty tight." The top three companies are going to compete this time.

This time the competition is going to be about security. The test is supposed to showcase the compani's strategies and tech. This time, they were still allowed to use fake guns. However, they could use some weapons aside from explosives and guns and blades. Everything is good as long as they wouldn't fatally wound someone.

"Most of our people could use whips and other weapons like tasers and pepper spray, brass knuckles and batons are allowed too." Zhang Zhi said. "I already asked our people to chose their preferred weapons."

The aim of this stage is to test the capability of each contestant to think beyond the box. How are they going to fight and secure their flags from the other team using these weapons?

"At least Shen Security is not that good in martial arts. We need to think about the other company." The other company that made it into the top three is called Dal Valley Security. They are from Xie City and is considered as one of the top security company in the region. However, they have the reputation of being too bloody. In short, they don't mind killing people just to make sure that they accomplish their mission.

Rumor has it that these people were very in demand in the black market. Many businessmen want to hire them because of their experience in killings.

"Have you seen them?" Zhang Zhi asked. "They don't accept women and they don't accept someone that is shorter than five foot ten. They are bulky and most of them have shaved heads. Looked intimidating."

Actually, even Lyca was also looking into this group of people. She wasn't very concerned about Long Company. However, she is worried that her sleeping gas won't work on the people from Dal Valley.

She eyed the muscled group of men and sighed. The gas that she gave her people could make people lose their strength. However, it would take a few seconds before it will show its effects.

Those people from Dal Valley were tall and bulky, she is afraid that the gas would take longer before showing its effects. Meaning, her people wouldn't have any other choice but to fight against them. Looking at her people, she let out another sighed.

She hired both men and women. The women were not particularly tall, only about five foot six and five foot seven. She could even spot someone who is about five foot four. Compared to the people in Dal Valley, her people can be considered midgets!

"I only have one word to tell everyone." Lyca's expression was serious this time. This is her company's chance to gain more prestige. This step is basically the first step to success! "Dirty," she said in a voice enough for everyone to hear.

The point was simple. Play smart, play dirty. No need to think about the rules in fighting and think about surviving. They could run and of course, they could fight and play dirty. "I won't tolerate any mistakes," she added before leaving.

Meanwhile, the gigantic men in Dal Valley were also planning on the strategy that they wanted to use for this competition.

"Shen Security is composed of really young people. The oldest that they have is Hogan, which is injured and is not going to join the competition. Next is Chu Nan who had a special identity thus, he is not joining this competition too. This time, we are lucky, Shen Security is just a new company. They might be fast, but… what can they do once we break their legs?" The man who spoke was the head of the training department in Dal Valley, Mr. Liang. He is an ex SWAT from their city. Just like everyone in their team, the man is very good at martial arts and using different weapons.

"So, I wanted you to focus on the Long Company instead. In terms of sizes, those people are almost the same size. In terms of experience, we are comparable too. Moreover, they have the backing of the Xu Family from the capital. I believe, the fact that they rank below us was fake." He made a deliberate pause. "Long Yi, must have wanted us to believe that they were weaker than us. They wanted us to underestimate them. Of course, this is not going to happen." He smiled at his trained men.

"This time…" Mr. Liang continued. "I want you to crush the Long Company first before targeting the Shen Security. We need to take down the flag of our strongest competitor. Then we obliterate Shen Security. I am doing this so we can instill fear in this new Shen Security! We need to show them how it's done! Show them who we are! Show them that kids like them wouldn't survive just by running around!"

"Do you understand?"

"YES SIR!" Their voices boomed in the entire area.
