Now, in the middle of a meeting, someone actually knocked on the door. In such a situation, it must be something important.

However, the biggest event in the company these days has been the struggle between Zeng Rou and the five elders of the Zeng family. Under these circumstances, no one should be knocking on the door.

Before entering the meeting, Zeng Rou had instructed that no one should be allowed to enter unless it was something major.

Hearing the knock, the hearts of the Zeng family elders simultaneously lifted. They knew that the person they had been waiting for had finally arrived. Once this person was here, their plan would be close to success.

And the demon in front of them would no longer be able to continue his rampant behavior.

"I'll go open the door." The eldest of the Zeng family hurriedly ran to the door. Just a moment ago, he was worried that Xia Tian's next target would be him. Now, hearing the knock, his mood improved significantly.

After opening the door, a man in a suit walked in. He had an ordinary appearance and wore glasses.

"What is it?" Zeng Rou frowned as she looked at the man. She didn't recognize him.

"It's Mr. Wang who asked me to deliver these documents to you." The man in the suit walked toward Zeng Rou with a stack of files in his hand. When the five elders saw him, they all smiled.

They knew this person must be the assassin sent by the Flowing Sand organization.

"Wait!" Xia Tian's lips curled into a slight smirk, and he walked toward the man in the suit.

Hearing Xia Tian's words, the hearts of the five elders tightened. The man in the suit was already so close to Zeng Rou, but now this unexpected variable had appeared.

Since this person knew about the existence of Flowing Sand, he must not be an ordinary person.

As Xia Tian approached the man in the suit step by step, their hearts were all on edge, filled with anxiety. They wished they could turn into the Flowing Sand assassin and immediately rush forward to stab Zeng Rou.

"I'm very curious, do all your company employees wear military boots to work?" Xia Tian smiled slightly and then slapped the files with his hand.

"Military boots?" Everyone looked at the man in the suit. Employees wearing military boots?

The man in the suit immediately realized he had been exposed. He felt under the files with his right hand, and a dagger appeared in his hand, which he immediately thrust toward Zeng Rou.

"Murder!"

Just as the dagger was about to pierce Zeng Rou's body, it was caught between two fingers. No matter how hard the assassin tried, the dagger couldn't move an inch.

The Flowing Sand assassin quickly retreated and then pulled out a gun from his waist.

Seeing him pull out the gun, the five elders were all delighted. At such a close distance, even a god couldn't save Zeng Rou. Once Zeng Rou was dead, they would naturally have a way to get her shares.

The assassin fired as he retreated.

But the gun didn't go off.

He pulled the trigger a few more times, but the gun still didn't fire.

"Are you looking for this?" Xia Tian threw the bullets he had taken from the gun one by one onto the ground. When he approached the assassin, he had already removed the bullets, but his movements were so fast that the assassin hadn't noticed.

This assassin was a Level 3 killer. According to Xia Tian's own calculations, he could easily handle these Level 3 killers.

Although the Flowing Sand organization didn't yet know his strength, he knew it wouldn't be long before they realized he was no longer the useless Xia Tian of the past. At that time, Flowing Sand would send Level 2 killers.

Those killers were true experts, and not all of them used only daggers and pistols. They also had sniper rifles, explosives, and more.

"How is this possible?" The Flowing Sand assassin looked at Xia Tian with disbelief.

His mind quickly calculated the gap between himself and Xia Tian. The fact that Xia Tian could silently remove his bullets proved that Xia Tian could also silently kill him. Realizing he couldn't match Xia Tian's strength, he turned to run.

"Did I say you could go?" Xia Tian smiled slightly. The man's legs went weak, and he fell to his knees. Xia Tian then kicked him in the back of the neck, and the assassin passed out.

At this moment, the security guards finally arrived.

"What should we do now?" Zeng Rou asked Xia Tian.

"Let the police come first, then have these security guards guard the door. The meeting isn't over yet." Xia Tian turned and looked at the other elders of the Zeng family.

"Cough." The eldest of the Zeng family hurriedly said, "Given what happened, I think we should cancel today's meeting."

"Cancel?"

Xia Tian instantly appeared in front of the eldest elder and lifted him up with one hand. "It doesn't seem like you're the one in charge here."

"What are you going to do? Zeng Rou, don't let him stop."

"I'm just going to beat you up." Xia Tian smiled slightly and threw the eldest elder to the ground, then punched him in the limbs. Soon, the second, fourth, and fifth elders all fell victim to Xia Tian's fists.

Looking at the five of them piled up like a stack of pancakes, Xia Tian shouted, "Anyone else?"

"I'll give you a chance to live. Sell your shares to Sister Rou, and then turn yourselves in to the police when they arrive. Otherwise, you know what I'm capable of." Xia Tian looked at the five elders and continued, "If you try to play any tricks, you'll get a taste of what I can do next."

"Of course, you can also tell the police that I beat you up, but ask the others if anyone will testify for you." This was a blatant threat. Xia Tian's words were not only threatening the five elders but also everyone present.

The entire meeting room was silent.

"Just a moment ago, you all were so talkative. You all were so good at reasoning." Xia Tian looked at everyone present, including the five elders. "In front of me, only fists speak the truth."

"Do any of you have any objections?" Zeng Rou looked at the other shareholders. Originally, it would have taken three days to deal with the five elders, but now they were cornered. Once the five elders turned themselves in, she could handle the rest.

"No, we have always supported President Zeng."

"That's right. President Zeng has worked tirelessly for the Zeng Group over the years. We have no objections to following her."

"We will follow President Zeng's lead."

One by one, they stood up to show their determination. The difference between a slap and a sweet talk was just a thought. They didn't want to offend Xia Tian, the demon.

"Alright, I declare that from today, Xia Tian will be our company's general manager, and he can manage all departments." Zeng Rou proposed.

"Sister Rou, I don't know anything about this, and I'm not interested in it." Xia Tian frowned.

"That's fine. You don't need to know anything. You just need to wait for your salary. Two hundred thousand a month. Of course, you won't be getting paid for nothing. If there's a crisis in the company, you must step up. How about it?" Zeng Rou looked at Xia Tian and asked.

"Sister Rou, you really know how to drive a hard bargain. Two hundred thousand a month to buy me off." Xia Tian shook his head helplessly.

"Do you all agree?" Zeng Rou looked at the other shareholders.

"Agree." Everyone agreed. Hiring a world-class expert to protect the company for two hundred thousand a month, they would be crazy not to agree.

The police finally arrived. Someone had already explained the situation to them outside, saying that an assassin had come to kill Zeng Rou but had been subdued. As soon as the meeting room door opened, Xia Tian was completely stunned.

"How is it you again?"
