A Single Person's Infinite Wonderful Life

Looking at the chaotic street and the car that looked like a turtle flipping over, Soufflé gave a bitter smile. She had only come out, but she never expected to have such a close call with death. If Li Wei hadn't arrived in time, she, an ordinary person with no strength to even kill a chicken, and Kirishima Sakura, a special martial artist who had no ability to fight head-on, would have been easy prey for the barbarians.

Soufflé, who had danced with death, now had Li Wei's image in her heart. She was unaware that her cheeks were slightly flushed, not from fear, but because she thought it was caused by her own fear.

Li Wei had already joined up with the main force high in the sky. Li Wei counted that a total of 100 martial artists had been dispatched from the Little Garden for this mission. In addition to the rapid reaction force from the Little Garden, there were also a few seniors who had just graduated last year and had only recently officially joined the Valslan combat force. Their experience was slightly less than that of their predecessors. They were responsible for dealing with the barbarians outside the city, while the experienced rapid reaction force members were mainly responsible for the combat within the city.

Kureya looked at Levi and said, "The last barbarian took a bit too long to deal with, which isn't like you."

Li Wei said, "Two ordinary people got caught up in the battle, so I didn't immediately launch an artillery barrage."

Kureya sighed and said, "This world is really unfriendly to ordinary people. After this barbarian invasion, the tourism industry on Zevat Island will probably be affected as well."

Chapter 4. A Narrow Escape

Li Wei said, "This island is almost destroyed, but the other two islands have not been affected, and there are no signs of activity on other smaller islands. The impact on tourism should only be temporary. After all, humans are quite forgetful creatures."

Kureya nodded, looking down at the ravaged city below. Little Garden would not take any responsibility for the destruction caused by the battle, a consensus already reached among the various nations.

As for property damage and casualties, these won't affect Little Garden. That's why Kureia said that in barbarian invasions, the most unlucky ones are always ordinary people. Those who are unlucky will die in the attack, and those who are lucky might survive, but if all their property is destroyed, it's a fate worse than death.

Because, to date, no insurance company has covered losses caused by barbarian invasions. All insurance policies related to personal injury and property stipulate that insurance companies will not compensate for losses caused by force majeure events such as barbarian invasions.

The locals in the city below, whose houses were destroyed, and whose vehicles or other large belongings were damaged, had to find their own solutions.

Kureya said, "It seems that Kirishima Sakura's concert venue is on another main island. She's quite lucky."

Li Wei remained silent. If he hadn't discovered it in time, Kirishima Sakura's luck would have been entirely different. He didn't intend to reveal these things, after all, Kuraya would get jealous.

Li Wei saw through Kirishima Sakura's disguise immediately, but he chose not to say anything. Even though he recognized her, he pretended not to, since there was no interaction between them.

However, it must be said that the soufflé next to Kirishima Sakura is quite good, as it happens to be in his strike zone.

Soufflé is not only tall but also quite voluptuous, exuding the beauty of a mature woman. Her face is aloof, and the gold-rimmed glasses on her nose give her an intellectual air; this mature, older sister type is exactly Li Wei's type.

That saying is true: when you're young, you don't know how good mature women are, and you mistake lolis for treasures. Lolis that you can look at but can't touch are nowhere near as good as mature women who are "delicious".

Li Wei looked at Erica, who was still somewhat dazed, and said, "Erica, go back and get some rest. You're not suited for any kind of work right now."

Erica, standing not far away, nodded. She was indeed out of sorts right now; after all, escaping death was still quite a shock for her. However, she felt it wasn't a serious problem and that she could recover after a couple of days of rest.

........................

Kirishima Sakura and Soufflé didn't have to wait long before the rescue team arrived. As a world-renowned singer, Kirishima Sakura is always accompanied by a lot of staff when she travels, so when she couldn't contact anyone, her staff immediately took action. After communication was restored, they waited in place for less than a minute before the rescue team arrived.

After leaving the dilapidated city, the pedestrians boarded a cruise ship and returned to the other main island where they had previously stayed.

After returning to the hotel, Kirishima Sakura went back to her room, kicked off her shoes, and lay sprawled on the bed. The medical staff who had accompanied her earlier had already examined her and found that apart from minor abrasions, she was in excellent health.

Kirishima Sakura stared intently at the crystal chandelier hanging from the ceiling, lost in thought. Her mind drifted back to the events of the day, the golden, godlike figure she couldn't forget.

Although it wasn't the first time she had dealt with death, this time she was truly terrified. The barbarian invasion came too suddenly, and she and Soufflé were still somewhat caught off guard. They could only flee in a sorry state following the city's evacuation announcements. But at that time, the entire city had become a battlefield, and since they were unfamiliar with the local environment and terrain, they couldn't avoid danger no matter where they went.

··· ·Requesting flowers···· ·

They had gotten separated from their local tour guide during the chaos. The tour guide got off the bus to use the restroom because he needed to, and that's when the attack happened.

She then asked Soufflé to contact the tour guide, only to learn that the guide had died in the previous attack. The public toilet where the guide was located had been crushed by the barbarians, and there were other people in the public toilet at the time, none of whom survived.

Upon hearing the news, Kirishima Sakura could only sigh helplessly. That's just how the world is; separation and death can happen in an instant.

Kirishima Sakura sat up and looked out the window. Because of the orientation of her hotel room, she could see the main island where she had visited during the day. Even though several hours had passed, she could still see billowing black smoke rising from it, and there were still a large number of ships lingering on the sea.

. ... .......

"Ugh……"

Just then, the door to the room opened, and Soufflé walked in. Soufflé also had a spare key to her room. The relationship between her and Soufflé was not that of relatives, but it was even closer than that of relatives, which was why Soufflé could freely enter and leave her room.

"I heard you sighing as soon as I came in. Are you still scared about what happened during the day?" Soufflé closed the door and walked to the side of the bed.

"A little. Although it's not the first time I've faced death, this time I really almost didn't make it back. I'm a bit scared," Kirishima Sakura said.

Soufflé took out her phone and said, "I'll contact Little Garden now and see if we can get that person to come and be my bodyguard for a few days."

Upon hearing this, Kirishima Sakura instantly perked up, climbed over to Soufflé's side, and stared intently at Soufflé's phone screen.

Seeing Kirishima Sakura's expression, Soufflé simply smiled. After all, even she couldn't forget that golden figure, let alone the even younger Kirishima Sakura. She could tell that Kirishima Sakura had fallen for him.

Chapter 4. The Reasons for Hiring a Bodyguard

Soufflé pulled out her phone book, found a number she would almost never dial, and pressed the dial button.

At this moment, Kureya was in Levi's apartment, watching Levi, wearing an apron, calmly preparing food in the kitchen.

Kureya heard the PDA ring, picked it up, saw the caller ID, raised an eyebrow, and pressed answer.

“Sophie, it’s been so long since I heard your voice. What made you think of calling me?” Kuraya said.

“Ms. Kurya, you’re as energetic as ever. It’s so nice to hear your cheerful voice,” Soufflé said with a smile.

Kureya watched Levi's back in the kitchen, her slender legs crossed, her toes constantly tracing patterns on the carpet.

At this moment, Kureya was in a very good mood. After all, having her man cook for her was a very ordinary thing, but it was a happy thing.

"You too, how does it feel to be a professional agent now? Isn't it much happier than when you were a researcher?" Kureya laughed.

“Of course, I made many mistakes in the past, and now I’m spending the rest of my life atoning for them. Of all the children who participated in the experiment, only Sakura survived, so I have the responsibility and obligation to take care of her. Whatever she wants to do, I will support her,” Soufflé said.

“You’re doing well now. I know you’re active on Zevat Island right now. Did you know that there was a barbarian attack on Zuwei Island from Watt Island today?” Kuraya said.

“How could I not know about this? We were on Zuwei Island at the time, and we almost perished. Fortunately, your rescue came just in time, which is why I can still be here talking to you on the phone. I have to thank you for this,” Soufflé said with a smile.

“We’re all old acquaintances, there’s no need to be so polite. Besides, it’s good that you’re all alright. The school festival is coming up in a few days, and we’ve already set up the venue. We’re just waiting for Sakura to arrive,” Kuraya said with a smile.

“Really? Sakura will be happy too. She loves singing and wants her voice to help people around the world who need emotional support. This is her first time holding a concert in the little garden,” Soufflé said with a smile.

Kirishima Sakura, who was next to Soufflé, was getting anxious. The two of them had been chatting for a long time but hadn't gotten to the topic of Levi. However, she didn't dare to make a sound, so she could only keep gesturing in front of Soufflé.

Soufflé gave Kirishima Sakura an "I know" look, reassuring her, and continued, "Speaking of which, we still need a bodyguard. After all, something like this just happened, and the whole team needs a strong martial artist to keep everyone calm. So I'll have to ask you for this, Ms. Kureya."

“We have quite a few skilled martial artists here, so whatever type of bodyguard you need, I have suitable candidates,” Kuraya said.

“Very well. I would like to ask you about someone, Ms. Kureya. His name is Li Wei, a martial artist who wears golden armor. Do you know him?” Soufflé said.

Kureya's expression was a little strange. She was sure that Li Wei and the other party didn't know each other. After all, Li Wei wasn't a fan of celebrities and had never even heard of the name Kirishima Sakura before. But now, Soufflé was asking if she knew Li Wei, which puzzled her.

“I know him. He is the strongest martial artist in all of Valslan, without exception,” Kuraya said.

Kureha did not explain her relationship with Levi; she wanted to see what Soufflé was really up to.

“Mr. Levi is the strongest martial artist in all of Valslan? Perfect timing. After this attack, Sakura is feeling very insecure and is currently struggling to find her rhythm. With such a powerful martial artist protecting her, I think she will be able to get back into form soon,” Soufflé said with a smile.

In fact, Soufflé herself wanted to see Li Wei again, but she couldn't say it directly, so she used Kirishima Sakura as a shield.

However, this reason is indeed quite legitimate, and it can also conceal her true intentions. After all, Kirishima Sakura really needs protection now. Although all the barbarians on the surface have been wiped out, no one knows whether there are still individual barbarians hiding in the shadows, waiting for an opportunity to attack humans.

The strongest martial artist in all of Valslan can ensure that Kirishima Sakura will not suffer the slightest harm. Ordinary bodyguards can only stop paparazzi and fanatic fans. When facing barbarians, it is still necessary to have a professional like a martial artist.

Kureha was unaware of Souffle's scheme, but Souffle's explanation was indeed very reasonable. After all, Kirishima Sakura was a fairly well-known public figure, and it was normal for her to need sufficient security.

“Okay, I’ll try to make the contact for you, but Levi has a lot of things to do in Valslan, so I don’t know if it will work out. However, I will try my best to arrange for a strong martial artist,” Kuraya said.

“Okay, then I’ll leave it to you,” Soufflé said.

After exchanging a few polite words, Kureya hung up the call.

Soufflé sighed and said, "As expected, the other party's identity is not simple. Whether we can get them to come and be our bodyguards is still uncertain."

Kirishima Sakura nodded, a look of disappointment on her face. She was feeling a little uneasy. But she was also mentally prepared. Even if she couldn't get him to be her bodyguard for the next few days, she would still hold a concert at the Little Garden, and they would meet again sooner or later.

Kirishima Sakura said, "For now, let's try our best. If they can come, that would be the best. If not, we'll think of another way."

Chapter 4. The Meeting

Kureya hung up the phone; she was on speakerphone, so Levi could hear the conversation.

Li Wei brought the prepared dishes to the restaurant, untied his apron, and said, "They want me to be their bodyguard? What's going on?"

Kureya shook her head and said, "I don't know either, but they specifically asked you to be their bodyguard, saying that only you can give their team enough security."

Li Wei pulled out a chair and sat down. Kureya put her PDA aside and sat down opposite Li Wei. Neither of them were the type to eat or sleep in silence, so they continued chatting at the dinner table.

Li Wei said, "I don't mind such a thing. Anyway, I don't have anything to do these days, so working part-time as a bodyguard is not a bad idea. Besides, what they said makes sense. Zevat Island is not very peaceful right now. Having someone who can guarantee their safety will also allow them to finish their concert there smoothly and come to Little Garden as soon as possible."

Kureya nodded. What Li Wei said made sense. In a sense, the barbarians were just like cockroaches, and with nests, their reproductive capacity was far more terrifying than that of cockroaches. She even suspected that the moon had been hollowed out by the barbarians.

When barbarian activity occurs in a certain place, people can only see the first barbarian, but in places that cannot be seen, there may already be a large number of barbarians active there.

That is why the alert on Zevat Island has not yet been lifted. If there is any disturbance there, Little Garden will immediately send reinforcements to ensure the stability and safety of the island.

Although it's a bit cumbersome, there's no other way. Zevat Island is a place of nationality and ownership. Although the local garrison is a bit weak, with only about a dozen martial artists, it is still someone else's territory. Little Garden is stationing troops on the island, which is a violation of international conventions.

Kureha said, "So you're planning to become her temporary bodyguard?"

Li Wei laughed and said, "Well, after all, the concert at Little Garden needs the other side to be there. If she's unlucky and gets killed by the barbarians, then the fans at Little Garden will be heartbroken."

Hearing Li Wei's reason, Kureya breathed a sigh of relief; at least it wasn't a strange reason.

"So when do you plan to leave?" Kureya asked.

Li Wei said, "I'll head over there tomorrow morning. They just need a temporary bodyguard, and I don't have any classes these days anyway."

Kureya said, "Don't underestimate this temporary security mission. Martial artists' missions are inherently complex. I've carried out missions like this to protect VIPs before, and these kinds of missions are actually quite troublesome."

Kureya's statement was based on her own experience. During a previous bodyguard mission, she encountered a particularly troublesome client who refused to cooperate and even took unnecessary risks. Unable to tolerate it any longer, she beat her client up.

That's how bodyguard jobs are; the difficulty of execution depends on the level of cooperation from the employer. If you encounter a cooperative employer, the job won't be too difficult. But if you encounter an employer who can make you so angry that you get high blood pressure, the job will be hellish.

The employer that Kureha had assaulted died less than two years later, and the cause of death was quite bizarre. His bodyguard advised him not to drive around, but he ignored the advice and even took his lover out with him. Then he was shot; a bullet ripped open his forehead, and his brains splattered all over the car. Most importantly, he was driving a convertible, despite his bodyguard's repeated warnings against it. He didn't listen, and the result was a fatal headshot.
