When Ethan Ye arrived at the company, countless curious stares followed him.
"That's him. The seductive bodyguard.""I can't believe he works here.""I laughed all night at the video. It cured my depression.""The way he shook his hips — like a powered motor!""He almost took everything off!""He looks so cool and handsome normally, but secretly he's a seductive beast.""The security department really hides talent.""I need to rewatch it."
Ethan wished the earth would swallow him whole.
Covering his face, he darted straight into the security department.
But fate offered no escape.
His colleagues burst into wild laughter the moment they saw him.
"Little Ye, who knew you had that side?""You're an internet star now!""If we ever do a company performance, you're the main act. One hip shake and we win.""I want front row seats."
Ethan's face turned black.
Then the security department manager entered, stern expression on his face.
"All of you settle down. It's working hours. And Ethan, come here. About last night—"
Ethan quickly explained, "Manager, I didn't mean to—"
The manager waved him off."Relax. Vice President Alex already told me. You were drinking on his behalf, so it was unavoidable. Good job helping him. Just… drink less next time."
Ethan exhaled in relief.
If he were fired now, he'd lose his chance to stay close to Alex Lin — and his revenge would crumble before it started.
"Go to Vice President Alex's office. Work hard and benefits will come," the manager added.
"Yes, Manager."
"Wait," the manager said, raising his hand dramatically and fluttering his fingers."You were so seductive last night. I really like it."
The whole room erupted in laughter again.
Ethan nearly fainted on the spot and escaped like a man running from war.
Facing Alex
He reached Alex Lin's office.
Alex saw him — and immediately burst out laughing.
"I'm sorry… I don't usually laugh… unless I really can't help it!"
He doubled over again.
Ethan clenched his jaw."Vice President Lin, please believe me, I don't normally act like that. I think my drink was spiked. I wasn't in my right mind."
Alex wiped his eyes."No need for excuses. After that much alcohol, anyone would lose control. No spiking necessary."
He coughed, then laughed again."But honestly, I didn't expect you to be so… flexible. I barely recognized you. Never judge by appearances."
"Vice President Lin…"
"I believe you, I believe you." Alex grinned. "Still — my friend who owns the bar asked if you want a job there. Free drinks, and commission."
Ethan shook his head violently."No! Never!"
If the underground world discovered the mighty War God had become a seductive nightclub dancer…He would never live it down.
"Alright," Alex chuckled. "Go get the car. We're heading to Lin Investment Company."
He tossed Ethan the keys.
Ethan saluted stiffly and left.
Another Blow
As he stepped into the hallway, Rachel Liu walked toward him.Ethan wanted to greet her, build rapport.
But she wrinkled her nose and glared.
"Stay away from me, pervert."
Ethan: "…"
Another critical strike.
His pride was shredded, but his resolve remained.
No matter the humiliation, as long as I can defeat the demon Alex Lin… I'll endure.Compared to the suffering before my rebirth, this is nothing.
He clenched his fists.
The path was painful — but the vengeance would be worth it.
