The King of City

15 ENTRY

"Cheetah brother, how did you try to enter that company?" Beau asked Lionel through a call.

"I haven’t entered Beau yet, I lack a test and it will be early tomorrow," Lionel related to his friend.

"Surely you join that company, I doubt that working there is more complicated than in the Special Operations Unit, after all they are only escorts of wealthy people," said Beau laughing.

"Yes friend, but those rich people could give me clues about Elizabeth's whereabouts, they all have their secrets," Lionel continued explaining.

"And how are you doing with that girl Mary? Has she left the villa yet?”.

"Well, She's a nice person, not an annoying rooming".

"It turned out to be harmless so, anyway, I leave you Cheetah, I must go to the Unit to report, successes in your test!".

"Thanks, Beau, take care of yourself".

Lionel wasn’t very talkative that night because he knew he should be very focused for the test the next day, therefore, once dinner was over he would go to rest in his room since the tests of the whole week had him a little exhausted.

"You've been very quiet this week Larson, is something wrong with you?" Corrine asked as she had noticed that Lionel had hardly been home for the past week.

"No Mary, I’m perfectly fine, I’ve visited the nearby towns and that has me a little exhausted".

"Okay, do you want to go to have other wines tomorrow?"

"Tomorrow I’ll leave early and I’ll come back late, but I thank you for the invitation. Maybe the other week Mary, I’ll come with you".

Lionel was extremely focused on the next day, so he said goodbye to Corrine and prepared to go to his room. The next morning he got up at 4:00 a.m. and quickly left for the Grey Umbrella Safety Company headquarters, at the moment of entering the same woman who received him the first day told him to wait in the lounge by the lake until the agent in charge of doing the final test arrived, next to Lionel were the other 4 boys who advanced to the next test, all four youngsters were in good physical condition but Lionel was highlighted by their great mental abilities to overcome tough tests.

"Manure bags, congratulations for reaching the final level, it will be time for us to get rid of almost all of you," said a man who was far away mounted on a platform.

"Today's test will be the simplest of all, 5 of you will fight, the one who defeats the other 4 will be the winner and will be integrated into the Grey Umbrella Safety Company". Said the man. "It’s worth doing everything except the killing, of course, his only weapon is his body". said the man with a smile on his face.

The 4 men and Lionel were very surprised since they hadn’t seen each other as a real threat, despite this, they hadn’t choice but to fight until one of them emerged victoriously. The youngest of all the recruits was the first to launch a blow aimed at Lionel, who easily dodged him; Lionel then took him by the back and threw him to the ground to take his leg and bend it until he cried with pain, countering the man took only 2 minutes as it caused an injury that prevented him from walking, so painful was the injury that the man had to be removed on a stretcher.

The other three remaining men witnessed that event in silence, they didn’t even attack each other as everything happened very quickly, so, they all looked at each other and in a kind of knowing look agreed that if they didn't finish Lionel first, they would be the next to leave the site with injuries, therefore the three pounced on Lionel at the time in order to eliminate him from the competition. One of them kicked him in the side while the other chose to punch him in the face, they all did it while Lionel stood up, despite this, Lionel managed to recover quickly and realized that the other men were against him, therefore, he had to be much faster with his movements.

"I know what you are trying to do, you damn cowards can't fight me," said Lionel, wiping the blood that came out of his mouth from the fist received a moment ago.

Lionel managed to get the three men to be close to each other while kicking at one that knocked him unconscious, causing the other two to hit each other with their heads, the man who fell unconscious was soon removed from the battlefield, there were only two opponents left to eliminate. However, Lionel decided to use a key he had learned a while ago which consisted of sweeping both men by throwing themselves to the ground, then he put his foot on the face of one of the men to kick him repeatedly, while the other opponent gave him several fists on the face and hit him in the ear in order to stun him, thus he managed to beat both guys who were writhing in pain.

“Well, a little bag of trash, you finished the penultimate test. The last one is with me” sentenced the agent.

“What do you mean, the penultimate test? A WHILE AGO YOU SAID THAT IF I BEAT THEM ALL I’D JOIN THIS DAMN COMPANY!”.  Lionel yelled with a mixture of grief and rage.

"Well, I lied, if you don't like it, you go away," replied the man.

To Lionel's surprise, the agent who was challenging him was the muscular man who had hit the bar earlier, which is why Lionel knew that was his revenge for the incident the other night.

"I see where you’re going, you want me to trample on you again, you damn fool, you liked my caresses," said Lionel, recognizing the muscular man.

"I really don't care about your opinion, I'm in charge here".

"Start fighting, I can't wait to kick your ass again".

"Before we start I want you to wear this little ornament," said the muscular man throwing Lionel a rope.

"Do I wear it around my waist or what am I supposed to do with this?"

"Tie your legs, nobody said it would be so easy to enter here".

"As you like".

"I’ll use these babies; I present them to you," said the muscular man showing Lionel some chaos that he would use to fight because he wasn’t willing to be defeated again.

The muscular man started turning the chaos trying to hit Lionel in the face but Lionel deftly dodged the punches despite having his legs tied, in the oversight of the muscular man, Lionel used a key with which he knocked him down and made him undo the chaos, then Lionel gave him a few fists in the chest that left him without air and ended up applying the same key with which he defeated him in the bar.

Upon hearing the screams of pain, the director of the company arrived, who was shocked to see the amount of blood that gushed from the agent's face, so he decided to intervene:

"Friend enough is enough, leave the man alone" requested the director.

"I still don’t know if I’m within the organization, this i***t still doesn’t tell me if I join or not". replied Lionel furious because he wasn’t willing to be deceived again.

"What do you think? You already knocked out all your colleagues and the agent in charge of the recruits”. said the director quietly. "You are already inside; you have guts and that is what I need in my organization. Present tomorrow at 7:00 a.m. in my office, I’ll show you the facilities and we’ll look at what kind of missions you can help us with, for now, go to your house to clean off all that filthy blood you have". the man finished.
