Thank You For Firing Me!

The guards were sweating heavily as they heard the conversation between Kiba, Richard, and Eva.

They were afraid Richard would suffer the same fate as Jack if he gave in to anger. The head guard made a unit standby for first aid in case Richard was slapped.

"Split yourselves in two!" the head guard instructed in a stern tone while pointing. "You guys will be responsible for the left side in case Sir Richard falls there!"

"....."

"Meanwhile, you guys will be waiting on the right side in case Sir Richard falls there!" the head guard concluded.

"....."

The guards were shocked by the 'preparations' made by the head guard. It was the first time in history that guards were split into two for providing medical aid to a possible 'slapping' situation!

It even seemed as if the head guard was looking forward to Richard getting slapped.

***

Jack had barely regained his senses after taking the slap. Thanks to the first aid, he was able to regain consciousness within minutes of being knocked out.

"You, tell me what happened," Jack commanded in a hoarse voice.

"Huh? Sir, are you asking me?" a young guard who was cleaning Jack's wounds asked. Generally, he didn't get to talk with people of such high status.

"Are you deaf? Tell me what happened in the fight before?" Jack angrily repeated.

He wasn't able to recall perfectly how he was knocked out by Kiba. He guessed that Kiba used some underhanded means.

The young guard, who appeared to be in his early twenties, was happy that someone asked him this question.

"Sir, Kiba only made a slapping movement toward you, and you collapsed dozens of meters away! You even vomited blood mixed with foam!" the guard explained in a very excited tone. "It was not even a battle!"

The young guard was awestruck by the power displayed by Kiba.

"You!" Jack was incensed.

He now recalled the situation correctly. His embarrassment only increased further when he heard the excited words of the young guard.

Jack thought the guard, at the very least, would try to paint Kiba in a bad light. But here the guard was excitedly telling the 'details' without caring about his feelings!

"You are fired!" Jack angrily ordered.

How could there be such a senseless guard!?

Doesn't he know he has to suck up to his boss?!

The guard was shocked but then laughed.

"Does that mean I can leave now?" the young guard asked.

"What?"

"Since I am fired, I can leave right now, right?" the young guard asked with a hopeful voice.

"Well... yes?" Jack was shocked by the excitement the guard showed. This was the first time he saw an employee getting excited after being fired.

"Thank you, sir! You are the best!" The young guard made a dash toward the elevator.

The guard believed today's events could be turned into a cool story. A story that could be shared during drinks. Perhaps he could even bring the attention of some girls in the bar when he shared the story.

It was not often one gets to see a rich and powerful tycoon's son getting thrashed this badly. The guard had an overtime shift tonight, so he knew he couldn't leave tonight and share the 'exclusive story' before others. Now, he thought the gods were sending him the opportunity by firing him!

"Girls would definitely like this story. Maybe I can become a real man tonight," the young guard happily thought.

"Or I can sell the exclusive story to a media channel! My story has content that would definitely sell to the masses! A small scandal can make breaking news but my scandal has the potential to become the greatest news of the year!"

The young guard was in a joyful mood as he left the floor.

"A loner mutant fighting a rich heir apparent for his unborn child! The media outlets would love this story. They would offer me both money and protection!"

The young guard looked forward to his bright future.
