Organ rental company in another world

"Are you ready?" Uru asked again, his arms already crossed in front of him, his broad shoulders slightly lowered, and his weight firmly planted between his legs.

Norn nodded and also assumed a defensive stance.

Although he knew in his heart that with his current physical condition, going head-to-head with a steel-level adventurer would probably not end well, he would not be able to join the team if he did not pass this test.

"Here I come."

After giving the reminder, Uru stomped his feet on the ground and instantly disappeared from his spot.

Norn didn't even have time to track the other's movements, and could only instinctively cross his arms to protect his chest.

The next second, an overwhelming force slammed into his arm.

A dull thud echoed across the open ground, and Norn staggered back a few steps, his boots carving two shallow furrows into the stone pavement.

Norn knew that his opponent had held back. He had personally witnessed the strength of a steel-grade expert. If his opponent had attacked with all his might, his arms would probably have been broken on the spot.

Uru gave Norn no chance to catch his breath, closing in again and aiming his right fist straight for Norn's chest.

Norn dodged to the side, his fist grazing his clothes, the wind from the punch ruffling his hair.

Having probably sensed Norn's skill level, Uru slowed down his attacks considerably, but not a single punch or kick was something Norn could fake.

Norn managed to dodge and parry a few moves, but soon realized that he couldn't keep up with his opponent's pace.

Another straight punch landed, and this time Norn couldn't dodge it; the fist slammed solidly into his shoulder.

His body suddenly swayed, and he staggered back a few steps. In the instant his body covered his arm, a silver-white magic circle gathered on his right hand.

A white snake shot out from Norn's armpit. Uru's pupils contracted sharply, and he was jolted by the electric shock before recovering.

"Not bad. Although your physical attributes are average, your lightning strike technique has greatly enhanced your abilities. You definitely have the skill level of a gold-level expert."

Uru patted his breastplate, and through the inscription on it, Norn knew that his lightning strike had been neutralized by it.

"However, with your current level, you can't even complete one A-level mission alone, let alone three."

"So the real hero should be him, right?" Uru turned his head and looked at the tall figure wearing a ghost mask.

Uru noticed this big guy from the very beginning. From the terrifying aura emanating from Arno, he knew that this guy was definitely not simple.

"What's your name?" Uru asked Arno.

"His name is Arno, but he's mute and can't speak," Norn answered from the side.

"Okay, you go to the side, I'm going to test him now." Uru pushed Norn aside with one hand and walked straight to Arno.

Norn tensed up upon seeing this, repeatedly telling Arno in his mind, "Hold back! Hold back! Don't hurt or kill him!"

Arno nodded slightly, indicating that he understood.

When Uru was about three steps away from Arno, without any warning, he punched Arno in the stomach.

This punch was significantly more powerful than the previous ones he had landed on Norn, but Arno did not dodge.

The fist slammed solidly into his stomach, producing a dull thud.

Uru's eyes widened slightly; he had thought the big guy would dodge.

He quickly looked up to check on Arno's condition, but Arno remained motionless, standing firmly like a stone pillar.

Uru was somewhat shocked, but then became furious:

They didn't even try to dodge! Who do they think they are?!

Uru increased his strength, pounding Arno's fists in turn.

Seeing that his opponent still didn't react, Uru became completely enraged and kicked Arno's head with a sharp, whistling sound.

This is an absolute killing move! Uru wore iron knee pads on his calves, and with his terrifying leg strength, if this kick landed on an ordinary person's head, their entire skull would be shattered.

Arno's head was kicked to one side, and the ghost mask made a dull hum upon impact.

His body swayed, and he took two steps to the side.

Although it didn't cause any real damage, the kick hurt him.

The protective mechanism ingrained in his mind was triggered, and Arno felt an overwhelming surge of rage, a sharp killing intent emanating from beneath his iron mask.

Before Uru could adjust his stance, Arno had already swung his fist at him.

"Arnold! Calm down!"

Norn's voice exploded in his mind, and Arno's fist paused slightly in mid-air, its speed visibly slowing down.

Seizing this opening, Uru instinctively dodged to the side, avoiding the punch.

He then pressed his advantage, grabbing Arno's arm and pulling him towards him. Arno's body leaned forward and crashed straight into Uru's fist.

Uru shook his fist, which had been hurt from being hit by the iron mask, and helped Arno up, asking, "Are you alright?"

Arno showed no reaction, slowly raising his right hand as if to smash the man's head, before being ordered to put it down by Norn.

Seeing that Arno was alright, Uru patted it appreciatively, then turned to Sharred and said, "Sir, these two are qualified, especially this big guy, his strength is diamond level."

Seeing Uru's response, Shared nodded in satisfaction and said to Norn and the others, "You two come here."

As soon as Norn led Arno into the group, Daisy pulled Chloe over.

Koroya remained aloof, while Daisy was exceptionally enthusiastic, constantly trying to find topics to talk about with Norn, making Norn somewhat embarrassed.

They were clearly not even close friends.

Norn suddenly remembered that he still owed them money, so he quickly took out three silver coins from his pocket and handed them over.

Daisy returned the money, saying, "You don't need to pay this back at all. By the way, let's treat you to dinner tonight. I know a really good restaurant."

By nightfall, Shared's team had not received many members.

Those who weren't high enough level couldn't join, and those with high level weren't willing to risk their lives, so the team was ultimately decided to have only 12 people.

However, Sharred didn't care about these things. His main force for protecting himself was still those two steel-grade soldiers. The others were probably just used as cannon fodder. Whether he collected more or less, it wouldn't affect his investigation.

After the group disbanded, Daisy took Norn and the others to a secluded little restaurant, saying that the food there was good, but actually, the main reason was that the dishes were cheaper.

Daisy ordered a table full of dishes and personally poured drinks for Norn and the others, her enthusiasm making it seem as if she was about to drag Norn to bed at any moment.

Norn naturally sensed that the woman had ulterior motives and directly asked her what she wanted to ask him.

Seeing that her intentions had been exposed, Daisy stopped hiding them.

She put down the wine jug and pleaded with Norn, "Please protect my husband!"

Koroya suddenly felt embarrassed and put down his knife and fork and walked out.

"I heard everything. Mr. Arno has diamond-level strength, right? Please protect my husband!" Daisy's eyes were a little red.

"If you're worried about his safety, why did you let him join this mission?" Norn asked.

"I tried to dissuade him! I told him we could make a living by doing other quests, but as soon as he saw the generous reward, he insisted on giving it a try. But that's the ninth floor! We hadn't even been to the fifth floor in the Rotten River Dungeon before..."

Daisy looked pitifully at Norn, one hand hooking her collar and slowly pulling it down. Just as she was about to launch her next offensive, Norn gave in:

"Let's make this clear first: we can protect Chorya to the best of our ability, but life is unpredictable, and you should also be prepared to be separated from your husband by death."

"Okay, okay, thank you!" Daisy smiled through her tears, looking at Norn gratefully.
