163 General Clark (1/2)
”Whoaaa… It's so big…” Scarlet called out, looking at the never ending building as they drove alongside its outside walls. ”Is that building Seven Stars' headquarters?”
Her face was glued to the window like an excited kid who was going to Disneyland for the first time.
The building that spread for over a five hundred meters already and had only twenty meters in height was all white, covered with glossy marble which reflecting all sun light as one looked at it.
From the sky, the building looked like a giant pentagon.
”Yes. Its a place where all logistics takes place. Thousands of people work here,” Anna explained as she patted Scarlet on the head. ”Though, today the selection starts so there will be even more people.”
”Mhmm, it's impressive,” Scarlet nodded happily, glancing at the distant parking they were driving into. ”It's already full.”
Many candidates arrived early in the morning to claim their spot in the queue yet Wuxing and the rest wasn't worried about it. As they passed the entrance, they saw hundreds of people waiting for their turn. Even though there was an enormous lobby inside, they still couldn't fit all the people.
”We are driving to another entry for employees. We are not going to wait in the queue,” Wuxing assured her, knowing the place really well.
They drove through the public parking and reached a much smaller one at the back, having much fewer spots to park. To Scarlet's surprise, there were also three helicopter landing spots and just as they parked, one army helicopter actually appeared in their vision, preparing to land.
”Who might that be?” Scarlet asked curiously as they left the limousine. ”Must be someone important.”
”It's probably the instructor for the selection. Be calm and greet him nicely,” Katherine advised. ”Instructors are those who teach every Seven Star members how to kill. They enjoy respect throughout the company. If they dislike you, there is little chance you can join Seven Stars Special Forces.”
Wuxing nodded, confirming this fact while recalling his times in the selection. He offended one of the instructors who later gave him a lot of troubles. Thankfully, one of them liked him enough to help him get past the training.
”Are you do going to be instructors this selection?” He asked Katherine as he helped Dongmei leave the car. Although they were only going to register, the real selection starting tomorrow, Dongmei already wore her military pants and simple white t-shirt, despite knowing it was really hot outside.
”Yes. Thanks to our experience, the applications I sent were approved,” Katherine replied before smiling at him and added, ”Naturally, it doesn't mean we will go easy on you guys.”
She looked at Scarlet before giving a glance at Dongmei. ”If we see that either of you are not good to become a mercenary, I won't let you pass. One need to be a natural born killer to survive in this environment,” Katherine informed honestly, her face reverting back into her calm expression.
Katherine wore her signature ancient style red dress with a long cut on the side and finally fastened her katanas on the back of her waist.
Dongmei only hugged into Wuxing's chest and assured her, ”You don't have to worry about me, I already killed before.”
”I didn't…” Scarlet added quietly as she listened to their conversation. ”Do I even have a chance then?”
Anna was the closest to her so she hugged her and guaranteed her success, ”Don't worry, you have us. We will help you pass the first test and then teach you everything during the selection.”
”Alrighty~ I already walked so far that I can't go back,” Scarlet regained her confidence and glanced back at the helicopter, seeing it already landed in the distance. ”The instructor landed.”
”Let's go meet him by the entrance, it seems to be General Clark that was one of mine instructors,” Katherine proposed as she recognized the man from the distance. No one complained and the five of them moved, following after her.
