Those veterans had found out that Levi was in South City, so they sent him an invitation too.
When Levi saw what the invitation was, he decided to attend it at all cost.
At that moment, the veterans’ gathering had started.
Most of the men there were retired soldiers from the Western Region. They had all once been elite warriors on the battlefield.
However, there were also some “less elite” veterans among them. They were ones who had never done much during their military careers but somehow kept collecting military medals left and right.
This gathering was not only attended by those from the Western Region but there were also some who came from other Warzones that Sylas had never met before.
Now that they were all gathered together, the most common topic of conversation was their current jobs.
A number of them had changed careers and gone on to other fields, but the majority had continued to work as bodyguards or security personnel.
One major point of interest for the gathering was Sylas.
There were actually quite a few other females around, but Sylas was arguably the prettiest out of the bunch. Especially now that she had dressed up, she looked as beautiful as any celebrity out there.
Naturally, a lot of the men there were interested in her.
When they were in the military then, none of them dared to mess with this warrior princess.
But things were different now.
“Sylas, I heard that you’re currently employed as a personal bodyguard?”
“That’s right,” nodded Sylas.
“How’s the pay? I’m guessing it’s at least seven or eight hundred thousand?”
“I was lucky enough to find a good employer. My salary is about ten million plus a house and a car,” answered Sylas candidly.
“What?”
Everyone stared at her in disbelief.
Hearing the salary alone was enough to stun the crowd into silence.
This also startled the men who were previously interested in her. They had to reconsider things now that she suddenly seemed out of their league.
“Sylas, is your boss still hiring? We’re all available!”
“Sure, I can ask.”
With that, Sylas stepped outside and gave Levi a call to check with him.
“Actually, I was just thinking about forming a first-class security team, so I am indeed hiring.”
Levi already had such a thought in his mind when he decided to attend the veterans’ gathering. Now that Sylas had called him for this same reason, it was as if it was meant to be.
Sylas went back in and told the men that her boss would be personally coming over to do the selection and hiring.
This news undoubtedly thrilled them.
As time went on, more and more people arrived at the gathering.
There were veterans from all over, including those from the North, East, and South.
Altogether, there were more than one hundred veterans in attendance.
When everyone was seated, the conversation somehow turned into a bragging competition.
Those from the North laid it on especially thick, and wouldn’t stop boasting about their military achievements.
“Back then, the three of us managed to infiltrate the enemy’s command post, and we were all given first-class merits. Our whole company was also awarded a third-class merit thanks to us.”
“And don’t forget when the whole regiment lost their base, but our company managed to secure ours successfully. That was because of our effort too, and we were awarded yet another first-class merit!”
“Our whole military career actually was quite boring. We only just got two first-class merits, five second-class merits, and eight third-class merits. That’s all.”
And as if their words weren’t enough, they even started to lay out all those military medals on the table.
