Unfortunately, the Nanzhou Escort Agency Grand Gathering had never given the right to forfeit. In any round of the competition, if an escort agency forfeited, it would not only lose the points of this round, but it would also be completely removed from the Nanzhou Escort Agency Alliance.
To any escort agency, such an outcome was no different from a disaster. Because once they lost the protection of the Southern Continent Escort Agency Alliance, they would definitely become the prey of the Southern Continent's pirates. At that time, they wouldn't even know how they died, let alone establishing a firm foothold in the escort agency business.
Everyone was forced to choose the lesser of two evils. Since they could not forfeit, they could only grit their teeth and force their selection.
However, this was clearly a competition that would send them to their deaths. The various escort agencies no longer sought to accumulate points. Instead, they tried their best to minimize their losses. Of course, the experts from the escort agencies that were highly regarded were not willing to send them to their deaths. Therefore, many of the escort agencies sent out this round were simply a bunch of old, weak, sick, and disabled people.
Most of them did not have much strength, nor did they have any special abilities. Many of them were severely injured when they were escorting bodyguards when they were young. Even now, they still had serious sequelae. There were even some who were on the verge of death. Instead of waiting for death, they might as well take this opportunity to earn some spiritual jades for their families.
Moreover. At this time, even if they did not want to participate, the escort agencies would force them out. They had no choice but to participate. If they caused trouble now, they would definitely die a worse death later. Thus, they had no choice but to accept their fate.
Just like the first round, before the competition began, the various escort agencies had to submit the name list of the participants to the judging panel, which would then be announced to the audience.
Because of their outstanding performance in the first round. Qi Mingyuan was originally in a good mood, but when he received the registration form from his son, Qi Wenhan, he was stunned. When he saw Ling Yi's name, he was instantly stunned. Without saying anything, he subconsciously wanted to slap him. He was about to explode!
"Are you f * cking crazy?!" Qi Mingyuan was instantly enraged. He pointed at Qi Wenhan's nose and scolded him. If it weren't for the fact that there were other leaders of the five major escort agencies nearby, he would have hung Qi Wenhan up and given him a good beating.
"Father, calm down first. Don't get angry." Qi Wenhan knew that this would happen, and could only bitterly smile as he explained, "The others were all unwilling to go, and I had originally wanted to go myself, but Ling Yi said that he had the confidence, and insisted on taking on this task. He even grabbed the registration form and filled it himself. I couldn't stop him. "
"We have to stop them even if we can't! This is a competition where we are obviously going to die, and they are kind enough to help us out. But we can't cheat them. Don't you understand this? " Qi Mingyuan angrily glared at Qi Wenhan and said, "You don't have to do it yourself. Look at how they do it. Can't you learn from them and find some old, weak, sick or disabled people to deal with them?"
"But even if they are old, weak, sick, or disabled. This kind of thing is too demoralizing, and it will easily leave a shadow in everyone's hearts. In the long run, it will be very disadvantageous for the agency. I might as well do it myself … "Qi Wenhan frowned.
He had received elite education since he was young, and he knew that the support of the people was the key to the success or failure of any organization. Once they lost the support of the people, not to mention the fact that the Heaven's Equal Escort Agency was only one of the five major escort agencies, even a traditional aristocratic family like the Four Seas Escort Agency would fall into the abyss of a nightmare. This price was too high for anyone to bear.
"Who said that we have to force people to do it? Who do you think you are to do it yourself? You are the young master of the Heaven's Equal Escort Agency. In the future, you will be in charge. Can't you use your brain? "Qi Mingyuan's face was full of exasperation as he viciously knocked on Qi Wenhan's head.
"Then father, what do you think we should do?" Qi Mingyuan said helplessly as he held his head with one hand.
"Stupid, didn't Eighth Brother Tang keep saying that he doesn't want to live because of his old injuries? Why don't you just let him do it? "Qi Mingyuan glared at him and curled his lips.
Qi Wenhan was stunned for a moment before he remembered Eighth Brother Tang. This person had worked for the Heaven's Equal Escort Agency for many years, and could be considered a veteran escort.
It was said that when he was young, he had made a name for himself in the South Continent Sea. He was also someone who refused to submit to others. However, those who were brave and ruthless usually did not have a good ending. This Eighth Brother Tang was no exception. After a defeat, all the bones in his body were broken, and even his internal organs were punctured by his own bones. He was on the verge of reporting to the King of Hell.
In the end, although his life was saved and he managed to recover some of his strength, he was left with serious sequelae. After joining the Heaven's Equal Escort Agency, he could barely hold on. However, as time passed, especially after being exposed to the sea wind and drenched in the rain, the sequelae became more and more frequent. Moreover, each time it happened, it was worse than death.
There were many times that Eighth Brother Tang was tortured to the point where he wanted to commit suicide. He even tried to do so, but he was stopped by others. Now, he was treated like an idler by the escort agency. He could only rely on drinking to numb himself. Every day, he would drink until he was dead drunk and muddle-headed.
"This is a good opportunity for Tang Laoba to be freed from his shackles. He can also earn a large sum of money for his family's funeral expenses. Whether it's for him or for our escort agency, it's a good thing. Why not?" Qi Mingyuan said earnestly.
"You're right, but father, this is the most negative way to go. It's just a job. There's no way you can get points like this," Qi Wenhan said with a frown.
"Points? You're actually hoping to get points in this round? Are you stupid? " Qi Mingyuan looked at Qi Wenhan in disbelief. He pointed at Boundless Sea, who wasn't far away, and said in a low voice, "Do you know why there's a second round?"
"Didn't the five of you discuss it together?" Qi Wenhan couldn't help but ask.
"That's just in name. In reality, this second round was purely proposed by the Four Seas Escort Agency. Then, with all sorts of threats and promises, they used their status as the boss of the underworld to force it through," Qi Mingyuan explained unhappily.
Qi Wenhan was speechless. He really didn't know that there was such an inside story.
"Now you understand, right? The Cold Magic Sea Region is the Four Seas Escort Agency's home ground. This so-called new sea route is unfamiliar to us, but do you think it's unfamiliar to them as well? In other words, this is a competition tailor-made for them. Of course, they are the only ones who have a chance of scoring points. The other thirty-one escort agencies are just there to accompany the crown prince. Scoring points and whatnot is pure wishful thinking, "Qi Mingyuan said with a sigh.
