Chapter 559 Forget Me
Naturally, James was now gasping for breath, his energy nearly depleted. At this moment, even a first-stage martial artist could easily defeat him.
However, no one dared to make a move against him. They all surrounded him, all staring at him in utter shock.
Although half of the crowd remained, all the martial artists had been knocked down by James, including three third-stage martial artists. The rest were just ordinary people who hadn't broken through the martial artist realm.
James was exhausted, gasping for breath, drenched in sweat that blurred his vision. But he still stood tall, looking at everyone with a satisfied smile.
James had never fought so freely as he did today; he felt incredibly good.
'Is he human or a demon?' This thought involuntarily popped into the minds of the remaining people, who stared at James in astonishment.
Even Rolf hadn't expected James to be this powerful! It far exceeded his expectations. It was clear that if he had really made a move against James that day in Lindwood City, he might not have been able to take him down and would have lost many men to James.
To think that such a genius existed in this world! Fortunately, James was from Sunlandia and not a foreigner; otherwise, it would have been a tremendous loss and an even greater threat!
The next moment, Rolf had a strong idea.
He had to keep James in the National Security Agency, no matter what it took!
As for Rolf, the most precious thing in the world was talent
James was not just talented; he was a genius. With James joining, the National Security Agency would surely grow stronger.
Rolf stepped forward and said, "Enough! Claiming you are the elite of the National Security Agency is an insult to our name! There are thousands of you, yet you couldn't defeat a single man, James. Half of you were taken down by him alone! If James hadn't shown mercy, you would all be dead by now!"
With Rolf's words, they all felt deeply ashamed and lowered their heads.
Rolf was right; they had really embarrassed themselves this time. Over a thousand individuals couldn't beat one person and half were knocked down. If this got out, they would be mercilessly ridiculed.
They clenched their fists, wanting to retort but unable to find the words. They were completely convinced by James.
With this, Rolf said with a louder voice, "Does anyone still think James is unqualified to be your instructor? Step forward."
Everyone lowered their heads in shame, not daring to make a sound. They were thoroughly convinced by James.
Rolf was very satisfied with this, nodding secretly. He then added, "What, have you all gone mute?"
A high-standing person stepped forward and said willingly, "Mr. Tackett, we will never question Mr. Smith again."
"And the rest of you?" Rolf asked the others.
They also expressed their attitude, completely convinced by James.
The National Security Agency had always revered the strong. They initially ostracized James because of his young age, feeling insulted and doubting his qualifications to be their instructor.
When they learned that James had killed their previous instructor, these feelings intensified.
But now, James had proven himself with his strength, earning their utter respect.
James stood straight, took a deep breath. He was too tired and needed to rest and eat to replenish his energy.
He hadn't planned to have much to do with the National Security Agency, so he didn't engage in small talk with these elite personnel. Playing the role of a stern instructor, he rested for half an hour, regained half his strength, and then returned to start training them.
After what had just happened, these elite personnel looked at James differently and followed his orders unconditionally.
Over the next two days, they found that James was extremely strict with them, even more so than Delbert had been. It was like devil training. They were seasoned soldiers with strong wills, but even they found it hard to endure James's devil training. It was just too tough.
If they hadn't seen James training with them and easily completing the same tasks, they would have suspected that James was deliberately tormenting them.
As a result, their impression of James grew even more respectful. He was like a demon.
It had to be said that James's devil training was highly effective. After two days, they could already feel significant improvement.
After two days, James didn't stay any longer and flew back to Lindwood City. He was quite free, and Rolf had promised him that he only needed to come a few days each month.
Because he had spent the past two days training the elite personnel of the National Security Agency, he hadn't had time to check his phone. Now, on the way to the airport from the National Security Agency base, he took out his phone and found it had run out of battery and shut down. He charged it with a power bank for a while and turned it on, finding a message from Jennifer: [Forget me.]
It seemed a bit inexplicable.
James was stunned for a second after reading it, then a bad feeling spreading through his mind!
He quickly called Jennifer back, only to find that the number was no longer in service!
In fact, he had been in contact with Jennifer just two days ago.
At this moment, he suddenly felt a bit panicked.
Even when facing an attack from over a thousand individuals earlier, he had remained calm, but now he was truly panicking.
A very bad premonition surged in his heart.
At his level, his intuition was very accurate, able to sense things that others couldn't.
"Forget the airport, go back to the National Security Agency and have their plane take me back!" James said in a deep voice.
"Huh?" Clio, who was beside him, was a bit surprised and looked at James in confusion. "Mr. Smith, the National Security Agency's plane is under maintenance and might not be able to fly now. Don't worry, I've already booked the earliest flight, which leaves in two hours."
James glared at her and said, "Two hours is too long. I need to leave now. I have an urgent matter! I'll talk to Rolf about it."
Clio had never seen James so anxious before; his expression even showed a hint of nervousness. She was instantly taken aback, wondering what could have caused James to be in such a hurry.
She didn't ask, but ordered the driver to turn around.
Fortunately, they weren't far from the National Security Agency, and they drove back in ten minutes. James went straight to Rolf, explaining his situation. With James's serious expression, Rolf readily agreed.
