"Oh?"
"When the time comes, even the Hong Chamber of Commerce and East Continent's Morning Star Academy won't be able to say anything." Wu Bao Liang laughed coldly, then said, "The only problem is that I won't be able to meet this person in the competition."
If they couldn't kill him in the competition, they would be back to their previous predicament. They didn't dare to kill him in the open, and they couldn't kill him in the dark either.
"That is indeed a big problem." Long Kuiba frowned and said, "But there's no point in thinking about it now. We can only wait and see what the situation is like."
If his Dragon Boat Escort Agency was one of the five major escort agencies, they might be able to use their authority as judges to play some tricks and arrange for the Heaven's Equal Escort Agency to go against his Dragon Boat Escort Agency. Unfortunately, they didn't have any authority to speak!
"Alright then, we'll let this kid live for two more days." Cheng Haonan was unwilling, but he had no other choice. He could only wait and see and take things one step at a time.
The next day, the South Continent Escort Agency Grand Conference was held in Cold Magic Plaza.
The five judges from the five major escort agencies walked up to the high platform one after another. However, this time, Qi Mingyuan was the center of attention. After all, based on the current score, the Equal of Heaven Escort Agency was ahead of everyone else. It was very likely that they would take first place in this year's competition.
In comparison, the host Boundless Sea wasn't as high-spirited as he was yesterday. There was a strong sense of unwillingness hidden between his brows, but it was much more restrained than before.
"Now, I will announce the third round of the competition, the test of an escort's loyalty!" Boundless Sea announced.
Test of an escort's loyalty? Everyone was confused when they heard this, and they looked at each other in dismay. There was a lot of discussion.
Many of them were familiar with the South Continent Escort Agency Grand Conference. Some of them had participated in it several times. The previous two rounds of the competition, whether it was the escort robbery or the dangerous sea voyage, were all new, but they were essentially old wine in a new bottle. There had been similar events in previous conferences, so they weren't too surprised.
However, this test of an escort's loyalty was a completely new competition. He had never even heard of it before.
"In this round, you don't need to kill each other, nor do you need to take risks. What you need to do is very simple. Just nod your head. Of course, you can also choose not to nod your head," Boundless Sea continued.
When he said that, everyone present was even more confused. The more he said, the more mysterious it was. I just need to nod my head? What kind of competition was this?
"Before I explain the rules to everyone, I would like to express my gratitude to all the major Chambers of Commerce who have come to watch the event on behalf of the South Continent Escort Agency. All of the merchant guilds present will contribute to the funding, and we will provide a priceless escort for the match. "Boundless Sea cupped his hands towards the representatives of the merchant guilds.
Escort? Everyone looked at each other thoughtfully. Combined with the name of the Test of Loyalty of Escorts. Those with a slightly faster brain could more or less guess what was going on.
"As we all know, many of the escorts entrusted to the escort agencies are sent to different places. In particular, the precious goods of the merchant guilds are often priceless. If the escorts have selfish motives, they might become greedy and take the goods for themselves. I'm sure everyone has heard of this sort of thing, right? "Boundless Sea asked everyone.
Everyone nodded their heads. In the escort agency business, the most important thing was trust. Only by gaining the public's trust could one gain a foothold. However, the Southern Continent Sea had always been a chaotic place. There were people from all walks of life everywhere. There were naturally such people in the escort agencies. There was no lack of cases where a rat's droppings spoiled the whole pot of soup.
For example, when the Heaven's Equal Escort Agency's large escort had been robbed, the rumor circulating internally was that there had been an insider colluding with pirates. If Lin Yi hadn't cleared his name, perhaps he would still be carrying this groundless accusation.
The human heart was unfathomable. There was no lack of black sheep everywhere. Even the Heaven's Equal Escort Agency, one of the Five Great Escort Agencies, was like this. There was no need to talk about the other escort agencies. Embezzlement was nothing new.
"So, in order to purify the industry and set a new standard, our Southern Continent Escort Agency Conference has the responsibility and need to set up a competition, a competition to test the human heart." Boundless Sea didn't miss this opportunity to shout out the slogan. Then, he continued, "In the third round, each escort agency will send ten escorts to be tested. The escorts provided by the merchant guilds will all be placed in front of them one by one. As long as they nod, they can easily take them away, free of charge!"
Hearing this, the crowd burst into an uproar. They were all interested. Just a nod and they could take away a priceless escort? Was there really such a good thing in the world?
However, there were also people who questioned this. This so-called competition to test the human heart was actually just a show. Even if the contestants could take away the escorts for free, the various escort agencies were watching from behind. Who would dare do such a thing?
If they took away the escorts, it would be the same as smearing the reputation of their own escort agency. Needless to say, the consequences would be obvious. Compared to the escorts, no matter how you looked at it, their lives were more important. They were all smart people, not idiots …
"Let me add one more thing. After the contestants take away the escorts, the escort agency they belong to will definitely not pursue the matter. This is the joint promise of our Southern Continent Escort Agency Conference. Anyone who dares to go against them will be our enemy!" Boundless Sea said firmly.
This sentence immediately dispelled everyone's doubts. With this, the contestants would have nothing to worry about. At most, they would not be able to continue working in the escort agency after they returned. However, they would not be restricted from leaving. At the very least, their personal safety would be guaranteed.
With such a premise as a guarantee, the so-called test of the loyalty of the escorts this time was truly worth watching. Through this, they could more or less see how much control each agency had over the escorts under them. If the escorts were not loyal enough and did not have strong self-control, it was easy for them to give themselves away in this segment and bring shame to the agency they belonged to.
Although this was the first time this competition was unique, it couldn't be denied that this sort of competition to test the human heart was very eye-catching. It should also be very practical!
"As for how the points are calculated, it's very simple. Every escort is worth ten points. If all ten escorts from an escort agency remain, then they will receive a hundred points. For every escort that leaves, ten points will be deducted. The remaining points will be the final score for this round of the competition," Boundless Sea announced in a clear voice.
