The young girl's cry of surprise immediately woke up Harold who was sleeping soundly.
The young man with the sword tried to get up from the ground, but his limbs were stiff after being in the same position for a long time. It was impossible for him to get up. All he could do was let out a groan and fall to the ground.
"Young master!
"Are you alright?"
I'm fine, they are just some applicants! "
The wagoner, who was acting as Harold's bodyguard, helped him up.
"Oh, I see!"
The young man said shamefully.
He looked at Kieran, who was standing up steadily.
As a matter of fact, Kieran had noticed them a few minutes ago.
He had also confirmed that they were not dangerous.
At least not on the surface.
Kieran did not forget the warning in the background of the Sub Mission, "Be careful, some of them may be up to no good!"
"I'll leave this place to you for now!"
Kieran said after glancing at Herbert, who had just fallen asleep before dawn, and the fat, snoring guy that he had brought back last night.
Kieran then walked over to the applicants.
As for the guy that he had brought back last night?
Kieran was sure that he had really fallen asleep.
He was not faking it.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have allowed him to use the iron chain to tie him up like a dumpling.
At the same time, the swelling on his forehead had disappeared.
"What amazing regenerative abilities!"
Kieran commented in his heart.
He really wanted to ask Herbert about his relationship with Calkin, but he knew that he should be on his way to complete the Sub Mission.
It was not a question with an unknown answer.
Kieran walked to the entrance of Herbert's house and stood there, waiting for all the applicants to arrive.
"The allure of gold is greater than I imagined!"
There are quite a lot of people here! "
The scene that should have taken two to three days to ferment had appeared on the second day.
Kieran glanced over the people in front of him and further away. He could not help but sigh.
There were at least 30 to 40 people in front of him, including those that he could see.
"Please wait here for everyone to arrive!"
Kieran informed the candidate who had arrived earlier.
Of course, not all the candidates were willing to cooperate with this kind of information.
"Who are you, this ignorant fellow?"
"Get out of my way!"
Among the first group of people to arrive, the sturdiest man shouted and was about to raise his hand to slap Kieran's cheek.
However, in the next moment, the burly man let out a cry of pain.
The man had just raised his right hand when Kieran's right hand grabbed his wrist and twisted it behind his back. The man's seemingly burly body immediately bent into the shape of a shrimp.
The pupils of the other people who were ready to make a move shrank.
They didn't even see how Kieran made his move.
This made these applicants feel shocked.
At the same time, he became more honest.
Kieran had Transcendence level [Hand-to-Hand Combat].
Although because of his choice, his hands did not have the buffs of his legs, it did not mean that Kieran did not know how to fight with his hands.
Anyone who looked down on Kieran's hands would be in for it.
"Ouch, ouch, ouch!
Let go! "
The man whose arm was twisted by Kieran screamed in pain.
However, Kieran did not have the slightest intention to let go of the man.
Quite the opposite, Kieran tightened his grip even more.
"It's broken!
My arm is broken! "
The man started to shout.
"I'm the person appointed by Mr. Herbert to handle your 'recruitment'."
You can call me by my name, 2567.
You can also call me by other nicknames, but … "
"Everything must be done according to my rules!
If you break the rules, not only will you be disqualified, but something bad will also happen to you! "
Amidst the shouting, Kieran spoke.
His voice had a sense of coldness, his tone even colder. When Kieran scanned through multiple dungeon life and death situations with his sharp gaze, the people around him went quiet like cicadas in winter.
Unlike the three thugs and gangsters who came yesterday, Kieran's voice was cold.
The people who came to the recruitment today all had a certain level of strength, but similar to the three thugs and gangsters, they knew what they should do when facing someone stronger than them.
Besides, they knew better than the three thugs and gangsters what kind of person would have such a sharp gaze.
It was the gaze of someone who had gone through multiple life and death situations.
He was definitely not some common person.
2567？
It sounded familiar!
Where did they hear it before?
...
The people present immediately tried to recall where they had heard this name before.
For a moment, the area in front of Herbert's house became quiet.
Kieran nodded in satisfaction when he saw the scene.
After accepting the sub-mission [Screening Guards], Kieran had been thinking about how to complete the mission beautifully.
Strength!
In the end, Kieran came up with the most direct way.
He had to show his strength and convince the people who came to apply for the job.
Kieran could guess who the people who came to apply for the job were.
They were all people who believed in the power of the fist.
Perhaps not all of them were like this, but most of them should be like this.
If he chose to use words to persuade them and screen them, aside from how embarrassing the outcome would be, the time it would take was something Kieran couldn't tolerate.
Herbert had said they would leave on the 25th.
It was already the 25th.
Kieran still had some things to finish before he left, so he didn't want to waste all his time on a sub-mission.
As for the people who came to apply for the job with malicious intentions?
Kieran had a way to deal with them.
However, it wasn't the time yet.
Kieran let go of his right hand and pushed the man away.
The seemingly buff man staggered a few steps forward and fell to the ground. His right wrist had a few clear purple finger marks.
"You should be grateful to Mr. Herbert!
If it wasn't for his special reminder, it wouldn't just be your wrist that got broken!
It would be your neck! "
In order to make the screening process smoother, Kieran continued to play the cold and ruthless role.
This time, he wanted to enhance the effect.
Kieran activated [Half-dead's Gaze]'s special effect, [Deadman's Gaze].
A moment later, everyone was crying for their parents and jumping around like chickens and dogs.
When the 'candidates' came over, they saw a large number of people either sitting or lying down, and these people all had the same expression on their faces: fear.
Their faces were filled with thick, unshakable fear.
Especially when Kieran, who was standing on top of the stage, glanced over at them, they would shiver uncontrollably, as if they were a bunch of quails.
All of a sudden, the people who came later looked at Kieran with different gazes.
They were anxious and doubtful.
Everyone was sizing up Kieran with the same gaze.
Kieran, on the other hand, was unperturbed.
His eyes were looking at the last spot in the crowd.
His heart felt a sense of shock.
