Special Forces: I Can See the Experience Bar

Chapter 340 Delia Collins
"Hello, are you Mr. Ace of Spades?"

A blonde, blue-eyed woman with a curvaceous figure and a sweet face, wearing a white shirt and an executive skirt, stood at Victor Odinson's door and greeted Chang Ning.

It was obvious that the woman had been waiting at the door ever since Chang Ning entered Victor Odinson's room.

As the beautiful woman approached, Chang Ning smelled a sweet fragrance. She was a woman who walked with a confident stride, the kind that carried a pleasant scent.

“I am Delia Collins, Mr. Odinson’s secretary.”

Delia Collins naturally extended her right hand, intending to go through a set of social procedures with Chang Ning.

Looking at the outstretched hand, Chang Ning noticed that the woman's fingers and the area between her thumb and forefinger had no calluses, indicating that this was not a hand capable of holding a gun or knife.

Chang Ning lightly touched Delia Collins' fingertips and then released her hand. "Hello, Miss Collins. If no one else here calls me by this nickname, then I am the Ace of Spades."

After introducing themselves, the two became acquainted.

Delia Collins then gave Chang Ning a detailed explanation of his responsibilities.

In short, if Viktor doesn't go out, Changning only needs to stay in the yard to keep watch; if he does go out, Changning needs to provide close protection.

Old Gun had given Chang Ning a general overview of these conditions beforehand, so he had no objections.

"The Ace of Spades has appeared. If you have no further questions, you can begin your patrol duties over there."

Delia Collins pointed out a nearby area to Chang Ning with her slender finger, then turned and left with a waft of fragrance.

"Wait a minute, what about weapons and equipment? Will you provide them or should I prepare them myself?" Chang Ning called out to Delia Collins.

“If you have your own weapons, of course you can use them. If not, we can provide them for you; it’s up to you,” Delia said without turning her head.

Seeing that he could use his own weapons, Chang Ning said that he needed to leave for a while to get them, and that he would come back in the afternoon.

"Afternoon? Mr. Ace of Spades, it's still early. I advise you to grab your weapons and come over to your post."

We provide meals and accommodation here; stealing wages will damage your reputation in the industry.

This time, Delia didn't just turn her back on Chang Ning; she turned around and smiled as she tried to persuade him.

But his nonchalant attitude was quite different from how Victor Odinson treated him.

You can observe how important people truly treat you from their close subordinates.

Clearly, Viktor Odinson's seemingly pleasant conversation with Chang Ning in the office was just for show.

To these big capitalists, mercenaries are nothing more than dogs fed with money, and even the reputation of Old Gun's team in the industry cannot change their minds.

"alright."

What could Chang Ning say? He had no choice but to act in accordance with the contract.

As long as it doesn't affect the final result, these are minor issues.

There's no need to get into a conflict with them over something like this.

"It's 10 a.m. now, and lunchtime is at 11:30. If you hurry, you can still make it," Delia kindly advised.

"Okay, I'll try my best," Chang Ning said.

"Not just try, definitely."

The contract has already been signed, so we'll follow its terms, unless you want your salary docked!

As the boss's secretary, Delia Collins would not tolerate any slacking off by these mercenaries.

If you want to steal my salary, you'll have to escape her bright eyes.

There was nothing more to say, so Chang Ning turned around and left, hailing a taxi on the roadside.

This time, the driver was white instead of black. Although he didn't utter any arrogant remarks like the previous black driver when he saw that the passenger was Asian, he still seemed unwilling to talk to him.

It just goes to show that America is indeed a country that prohibits racial discrimination on the surface, but it is actually everywhere in daily life.

It's true that the more you lack something, the more you care about it.

The atmosphere inside the car wasn't exactly pleasant, but at least it wasn't as blatantly racist as the first Black driver's use of language or gestures.

Fortunately, this atmosphere didn't last long, and Changning arrived at the weapon shop.

Faced with the enthusiastic shop owner, Chang Ning immediately asked to take the weapons stored in the shop with her.

The shop owner had a close relationship with Lao Qiang and his group, so he naturally knew that the Chinese man in front of him was most likely also in that line of work.

If someone suddenly comes to pick up a weapon, they must have received an order.

So the shop owner didn't say much and simply pulled out a long, rectangular gun case from under the counter.

"Your Glock and HK are inside, and I'll also give you a few boxes of ammunition."

The shop owner can still afford to give away items worth tens of dollars for free.

Moreover, bullets are a necessity for gun enthusiasts, so giving them away is a cost-effective way to get something for free.

"Thanks."

Chang Ning nodded, indicating that she appreciated the shop owner's kind gesture.

After a brief encounter, Chang Ning did not sense any hostility from the other party, so he did not object to this gesture of goodwill.

Changning came in a hurry and left in a hurry.

When he arrived at his employer's courtyard, it was exactly 11:30, which was right on time.

Since the contract has been signed and the client has made clear demands of him, Chang Ning will naturally follow those demands; he has that much integrity.

Of course, Chang Ning would not do it if it meant risking his life.

With only that little money a day, why risk your life?

No matter how much money is offered, Chang Ning will not risk his life for this kind of person or thing.

"You've come at the perfect time, just in time for lunch." Delia thought Chang Ning would be absent for at least a few hours, but she didn't expect him to be so well-behaved.

She was self-aware enough to know that her employer's secretary was nothing in the eyes of these people.

If you ask her how she knew, it must be because she got humiliated by some people.

The difference between people can sometimes be greater than the difference between people and dogs. Some people may look like humans, but they are actually worse than animals.

For example, the guy sitting under the eaves, munching on fried chicken nuggets, was giving Delia flirtatious glances, his lustful eyes burning with a desire to burn Delia's clothes off.

"Hey, Fish (newcomer) is a hot girl, isn't she?"

The man chewing fried chicken swallowed his food and shouted loudly at Chang Ning.

Before he could say anything, Chang Ning's words were echoed by the other hired security personnel.

It seems that Delia's great figure and good looks have significantly increased the testosterone levels of these people.

"These filthy bastards!"

Delia blushed when teased, whether from anger or embarrassment, it was hard to tell.

She frequented high-end venues while accompanying Odinson, and even if some people had bad intentions towards her, they would not openly show it out of consideration for Mr. Odinson's face or status.

How could they be like these uncouth people? They are utterly unreasonable.

This is a matter between Delia and those people; Chang Ning will not interfere.

He didn't want to attract too much attention or cause unnecessary trouble.

Fortunately, those people only made some jokes and didn't take any real action.

It seems his temporary teammates are still quite clear-headed.

Chang Ning mentally assessed his teammates while secretly feeling fortunate.

There are countless examples in the industry of people being dragged down by incompetent teammates, and he doesn't want to work with someone who isn't thinking straight.

But thinking about it, it makes sense. Odinson is a state legislator, and he would definitely care about something as important as his personal safety. How could he not do background checks when hiring?

Delia knew it wasn't worth arguing with these people, so she walked away with a "clack-clack-clack" in her high heels, looking quite charming from behind.

It has to be said, these thugs have a really good eye for aesthetics.

"Fish, have you had lunch yet? If not, come and have some with us."

The man sitting under the eaves greeted Chang Ning.

The other party's initiative to extend goodwill is a good omen for Changning.

He didn't want to create tension between them right from the start.

"I definitely didn't eat it."

After saying that, Chang Ning took the lunchbox that Delia had given him and sat down next to the man quite naturally.

"Brother, which mercenary group are you with?" the man asked curiously.

"Mercenary group? I haven't joined any group," Chang Ning mumbled, taking a mouthful of rice.

Delia is like a rose with thorns; she never speaks with a pleasant expression, but she's surprisingly thoughtful.

Chang Ning chewed the rice and Chinese-style side dishes in his mouth with big mouthfuls. At this moment, Delia's image in his mind was greatly elevated.

"You're going to do it all by yourself!"

The man was quite surprised to see Chang Ning eating; freelancers rarely get such high-quality orders.

But Changning is indeed the only person here.

If this Asian man eating rice in front of you is indeed a lone wolf, then his abilities should not be underestimated.

The man decided to get to know this Asian man better. If he had some special skills and hadn't joined another team yet, he couldn't let such a high-quality newcomer slip through his fingers.

"That's right, I haven't joined any mercenary group yet."

Chang Ning quickly ate his boxed lunch, grabbed some water to pat himself dry, and then calmly replied.

"I see. You can join our 'Battlefield Knights' after the mission is over."

For a man to be able to take on such a high-quality security mission, Chang Ning is like a shining gold nugget.

If you're too slow in recruiting, someone else will snatch them up.

"Let's talk about it after the mission is over."

When faced with the man's advances, Chang Ning didn't give a definitive answer.

If Old Gun's team isn't a good option, then the men's team could be a backup.

"it is good."

Seeing that Chang Ning had responded, the man didn't say anything even though he didn't agree to her on the spot.

Joining a team should be a matter of mutual consent, because forced relationships are never happy, especially in professions where people's lives are tied to their belts and their future is uncertain.

How can we allow unstable elements to appear in the team? That could be fatal!
After eating and drinking to their hearts' content, Chang Ning arrived at the temporary dormitory arranged by Delia, which was clearly a converted warehouse.

At night, Chang Ning tidied up his equipment and tucked his pistol into the side of his thigh. He was assigned to the night shift.

Chang Ning had reason to suspect that Delia was making things difficult for him.

Security work is actually quite demanding. Not only do you have to stand guard, but you also have to be alert and pay attention to any disturbances around you.

For Chang Ning, who is familiar with carrying out various tasks, these are all part of his daily routine.
