Chapter 734: The Silver ShieldTranslator: Yukidaruma Translations Editor: Yukidaruma Translations

Catherine wanted to retort, but Diana did not give her a chance to do so. Diana looked at Fang Xingjian and said, “You’re Fang Xingjian, right? Chinese? It doesn’t matter. Thank you for saving Catherine a few days ago. Since you’re an extraordinary human, I’m willing to provide you with a job as the security manager of the Silver Shield Company. You’ll get an annual pay of one million USD.”

Saying that, she handed a name card to Fang Xingjian. “Bring my name card and attend the interview at the company next week. They’ll attend to you.”

As a member of the United States’ upper society, Diana knew about the existence of extraordinary humans. In the Silver Shield Security Company which the Douglas family had set up, they had even recruited a number of extraordinary humans. It was true that these people had exceptional battle prowess.

However, to Diana, the things which had an overwhelming deciding factor in modern society were still money and wealth.

Although Diana was already considered as a member of the upper society, she was still not at a level in which she could come into contact with those monsters that were in the world’s darkness, such as the Radiant Congress, the Crimson Alliance, the Dark Knight, and the Bloody Queen.

As for sword arts… Diana had met extraordinary humans before, and many of them possessed powers including the ability to manipulate space, flames, curses, or to change their appearances. In comparison to these, sword arts did not sound like much.

Therefore, in her opinion, offering a position with an annual compensation package of one million USD was sufficient to thank Fang Xingjian for saving Catherine’s life.

However, Fang Xingjian only looked at her calmly. He did not say a single word nor did he take the name card that was handed to him.

Catherine said angrily, “Aunt, what are you doing? Master Fang Xingjian saved my life. Moreover, his sword arts are very powerful. I’m thinking of handing the company to you for now and focus on cultivating sword arts with him, comprehending the profoundness of sword arts.”

“Very powerful? Profoundness of sword arts?” Diana laughed and shook her head. She looked at her watch and said, “Catherine, I have an international meeting in a while and don’t have the time to be arguing with you over this. I’ll ask you one more time. Are you going to give up on the company and learn sword arts?”

In Catherine’s presence, Diana had indeed amassed a lot of prestige for a very long time. So, the moment she brought out the air of an elder, Catherine felt pressured.

However, at the thought of the feeling she had gotten after cultivating sword arts for a few days, Catherine nodded stubbornly and said, “That’s right. I want to cultivate sword arts, even if it is at the expense of giving up the management of the company.”

“Excellent, excellent, excellent. Our Catherine has really grown up.” Diana’s gaze narrowed as she exhaled. “I thought that you people were just a few insignificant characters and didn’t want to be bothered with you. However, I didn’t expect that your experience with extraordinary power would still be this low and that you would treat someone you just met as a great master.”

“But Master Fang Xingjian is really amazing…”

Linda and Jack also chipped in, “He single-handedly killed several tens of fully equipped mobsters. He’s just like a superhero from the movies.”

“I’m leaving in another three minutes. I’ll cut to the chase,” Diana said. “The reason you guys feel that he is very powerful isn’t because he really is so. It’s just that you are too weak.

“Catherine, I initially thought that you people had too little experience with such things, but it seems that I’m too late.”

As she said this, she had already raised her cell phone and dialed a number. “Hello? White Lion? Make a trip down to XXXXX. I want you to take care of a person. About six feet tall, he’s an Asian man with long hair, wears a long robe, and goes by the name Fang Xingjian.

“No… There’s no need to kill him. Knocking him out will do.”

She then kept her phone and left on her high heels as she said, “Someone will be coming over later to have a fight with him. You guys will find out then. I’ll let him and you people understand the current situation of extraordinary humans so that you won’t always be unsure of how things actually are.

“Catherine, if I still don’t see you in office tomorrow morning at 8 a.m., I’ll freeze all of your bank cards.”

Diana walked for a distance before she suddenly turned and said while smiling at Fang Xingjian, “I’m sorry, Mister Fang. I’m not against you. It’s just that Catherine is too young and I’m in a rush for time. Therefore, my actions are a little rough.

“You can still apply for a job at the Silver Shield Company. We’ll always welcome an extraordinary human like yourself.” Her tone was very polite, but there was no hiding the air of superiority in the depths of her gaze.

With that, she left without turning back, leaving behind a cool back view. This lady was resolute and viewed herself as the most important. Additionally, she was extremely unyielding.

However, Fang Xingjian smiled wordlessly. How could he possibly pay any heed to an ordinary person? On the contrary, an argument like this would stimulate Catherine’s rebellious mindset, and she became determined to produce results in her sword arts cultivation so that her aunt would know she had not made the wrong choice.

This was something Fang Xingjian was pleased to see.

Therefore, Catherine, Linda, and Jack continued to cultivate sword arts. Half an hour later, a black shadow flipped across the walls and walked over.

It was a white-skinned young man with blonde hair who had a tall figure and handsome looks. He wore a brilliant smile and looked just like an ordinary boy in the neighborhood.
