"This, I... ..."
Shuwala stammered, unable to find the words.
The more he hesitated, the more suspicious the old butler became.
Just as he was considering driving away the sneaky man in front of him,
"I'll take care of the bodyguard matter."
Moarik said as he walked out from the house, casting a glance at the familiar man with the dogs.
"I understand."
The old butler gave a slight bow, then turned around and left without a moment's hesitation.
The arrangements for the bodyguard squad had already been entrusted to the new captain by the boss. As long as he was in charge, there was no need for the butler to say anything more.
"So, you're the one who wants to join the bodyguard team, is that right?"
Moarik looked Shuwala up and down, sizing up this man who was famously known for setting death flags, resigning to get married after completing this job.
"Y-Yes."
Shuwala swallowed nervously.
That old butler figure from the villa had left immediately without saying anything unnecessary after the young man appeared.
This indicated that this young man held considerable power within the family.
Even though the person in front of him was quite young, Shuwala didn't dare to be careless.
Even though he had awakened some special powers, he was still very nervous.
"This man is definitely not ordinary..."
Feeling a faint sense of danger emanating from Moarik, Shuwala swallowed again.
He was already starting to regret his impulsiveness.
But when he thought about how his girlfriend Arisa had become a maid here, and how he still had so many dogs to care for...
such a considerable expense...
He could only grit his teeth and muster the courage to straighten his neck:
"I sincerely want to apply for the job here."
Moarik pointed behind him. "You even brought so many dogs?"
"These are my family members, and also one of my skills as a bodyguard!!"
Talking about his precious dogs gave Shuwala energy, and he quickly added:
"They will assist me in doing a good job of guarding, and with such a big yard, isn't it perfect to have these dogs to watch over it?!"
He used all his eloquence in his life:
"If I'm hired, I promise, with them, I'll guard the entire house so tightly that not even a fly could get in!"
"Alright~"
Moarik nodded immediately. "Then if a fly appears in the room, that counts as a failure in your duty."
Shuwala: "???"
Huh...
Shuwala was obviously taken aback, stunned for a moment.
This was different from what he imagined, whether it was a rejection or an acceptance; it seemed a bit unusual...
"Indeed, having merely awakened a Nen ability accidentally, his physical fitness and mental resilience have not caught up~"
While Shuwala was lost in thought, Moarik also made a judgment based on his appearance.
Shuwala must have accidentally awakened his own Nen ability.
This kind of situation was not unheard of in this world.
Aside from systematic teaching and training or being forced to open one's aura nodes through intense trauma,
there were other ways to awaken Nen abilities.
Some, like Neon Nostrade, have an innate talent that naturally awakens Nen abilities.
Others, like certain artists, leave traces of Nen on their works.
Shuwala probably became a Nen user by some accident while interacting with his dogs.
Hence, his subsequent Nen abilities were also related to dogs.
And when faced with Uvogin's slaughter of the mafia in the arena, he was rather helpless.
He was just an ordinary person who happened to gain a slightly stronger ability.
"However, while his ability is insufficient, his character can be appreciated."
Moarik lightly rubbed his chin.
Shuwala was quite loyal; when questioned about Kurapika by the members of the Phantom Troupe, he said nothing.
He also valued his companions and cherished his dogs and his girlfriend, Arisa.
When escaping, he even took his dogs with him.
Facing Nobunaga's threats, he first made sure to disperse his dogs.
Then, for the sake of his girlfriend, he shouted at Nobunaga, risking his life...
Only to be beheaded.
Yes, his death was both tragic and heroic, but also quite pointless.
Even as a bodyguard, he showed great professionalism.
While being chased, he didn't forget to carry the auction items his employer's daughter had photographed.
It could be said that he was a decent subordinate, one who could be relied upon.
"Well..."
"Alright, I was just joking earlier. Being able to gain the trust of so many dogs, and taking good care of them, shows you're not a bad person."
Moarik waved his hand, giving him instructions directly: "If you want to work here as a bodyguard, go discuss your terms with the old butler."
"I've agreed from my end; the rest of the terms are up to you to negotiate."
"But think it over carefully."
Moarik glanced at Shuwala, whose face showed obvious delight. "This job isn't easy."
"Especially being a bodyguard for a mafia family, not to mention the danger, the workload is also quite heavy."
"I can handle it!!"
Shuwala nodded eagerly, like a chicken pecking at grains, "I can do it all!!!"
And so, the second member of the bodyguard team was officially added.
