Chapter 12: The Second Bodyguard Team Member
"I..."
Squala hesitated and was unable to speak.
The more he acted like this, the more suspicious the old butler found him.
Just when he was thinking about driving away the sneaky man in front of him.
"Leave the bodyguard matters to me."
Hearing the sound, Lan came out of the house and took a look at the familiar man who raised a dog.
"I see."
The old butler bowed slightly, then turned around and left without any hesitation.
The boss has already made arrangements for the bodyguard team, and has handed over full responsibility to the new leader.
As long as he comes forward, there is no need for him to say anything more.
"You want to join the bodyguard team, right?"
Lan looked up and down at Squala, the most famous man who set a death flag for wanting to get married after completing the job.
"Yes."
Squala swallowed nervously.
That person was obviously the old butler in the villa, but after this young man showed up, he left without saying anything extra or asking any questions.
It's obvious that he is a man with considerable power in this family.
Even though the man in front of him was very young, Squala did not dare to be careless at all.
Even though he has awakened and mastered some special powers, he is still very nervous.
"This man is definitely not an ordinary person..."
Feeling the hidden danger coming from Lan, Squala swallowed again.
He now regrets being so impulsive.
But when he thought about his girlfriend Eliza becoming a maid here, and he had so many dogs to raise.
Such a small expense…
He could only grit his teeth and straighten his back: "I really want to apply for a job here."
Lan pointed behind him and said: "You brought so many dogs with you?"
"These are my family members, and they are also part of my ability!!"
When he mentioned these dogs, Squala became excited and said quickly:
"They will help me with the guarding work. Besides, for such a large yard, isn't it most appropriate to raise dogs to guard the house?!"
He used up all his eloquence:
"As long as you hire me, I promise that I will guard the entire house like an iron barrel so that not even a fly can't fly in!"
"That's fine~"
Lan nodded immediately after hearing this: "If there is a fly in the room, it will be considered that you have failed in your duty as a guard."
Squala: "???"
Eh…
Squala visibly choked and stood there in a daze.
This was different from what he had imagined…
"Sure enough, it's just that the Nen ability was activated by chance, and his physical fitness and psychological endurance are not up to par."
While Squala was in a daze, Lan made a judgment based on his expression.
Squala must have activated his Nen ability by accident.
This kind of situation does exist in this world.
In addition to being systematically taught and trained and being forced to open one's own Aura Nodes by strong blows, there are other ways to awaken Nen's abilities.
Some are like Neon Nostrade, who is naturally gifted and has awakened her Nen ability.
Some are like some artists whose works still retain traces of Nen.
Most likely, Squala was stimulated by something while interacting with dogs and accidentally became a Nen user.
Therefore, his subsequent Nen ability is also related to dogs.
Moreover, he looked quite embarrassed when facing Uvogin, who was slaughtering mafias in the field.
He is just an ordinary person who accidentally gains Nen's ability and becomes a little stronger.
"Although his Nen ability is lacking, his character is certainly there."
Lan rubbed his chin slightly.
Squala is still quite loyal. When questioned about the deaths of the Phantom Troupe members, he did not say anything about Kurapika.
He also values his companions more and cherishes his dogs and his girlfriend, Eliza, even more.
When they flee, he always takes his dogs with them.
And in the face of Nobunaga's threat, the dogs were evacuated first.
Then, for the sake of his girlfriend, he shouted at Nobunaga despite the threat of death.
Then his head was chopped off.
Well, it was a heroic and miserable death, but it was not worth it.
He is a bodyguard and has strong professional ethics.
When being chased, he did not forget to take the auction items bought by the eldest daughter of the Nostrade family.
It can be said that he is a pretty good subordinate who can be used.
"That..."
"Okay, I was just joking. You're a good person because you can make so many dogs follow you and take good care of them."
Lan waved his hand and told him directly: "If you want to be a bodyguard here, go to the old butler to discuss the salary."
"I agree with this; you can negotiate the rest of the treatment yourself."
"But you have to think about it."
Lan glanced at Squala, whose face showed obvious surprise. "This line of work is not so easy."
"Especially for the bodyguards of the mafia families, not to mention the dangers, there is also the workload, which is usually very tiring."
"I can do it!!"
Squala nodded like a chicken pecking at rice: "I can do anything!!!"
In this way, the second member of the bodyguard team officially joined.
