Pampered By My Three Brothers: The Return Of The Neglected Heiress - Chapter 1425

Chapter 1425: Logical person
Prime Group was first known for its protection and security services, which started abroad. One of its first clients was an influential yet controversial politician. Although there were no clear details as to why this controversial politician trusted a startup company, his endorsement opened many doors for Prime Group.

From then on, the company grew continuously, with Penny gaining connections in the military and various government agencies. Just a year later, she launched the company’s cyber security division, which had been in development alongside its security services. However, the personal security sector gained traction first.

Now, Prime Group primarily focused on the cyber security market.

Although the personal security division was still operational, the four new hires hadn’t given it much thought. It wasn’t that they underestimated the field that propelled Prime Group to success, but they never imagined the company had an entire secret floor dedicated to training its own troops.

“Wow,” Hayley breathed out, watching a group of men doing push-ups for several minutes. Still, there was no sign they were stopping anytime soon. Her eyes scanned the room, focusing on their toned muscles—a testament to their rigorous training.

Shawn and Patricia were speechless, both staring in wide-eyed shock. While Shawn struggled to process what he was seeing, Patricia’s mind had completely shut down.

Teddy, however, furrowed his brows as he carefully observed the trainees. One group was undergoing a training exercise, while another was sparring. He could tell that this secret floor was solely for physical training.

“Sir,” Teddy finally spoke, catching Yugi’s attention. “The personal security assistants are all registered firearm holders. However, this floor seems to focus only on physical and close-combat training.”

Yugi smiled, but before he could answer, another voice chimed in.

“You’ve got a sharp one here.”

Everyone turned toward the source of the voice, their eyes landing on Wild.

“Yes, this floor focuses on close-combat training and conditioning recruits into well-trained agents,” Wild explained. “Their job is to protect and keep our clients alive, so their physical fitness is crucial.”

He stopped a few steps away from the group, hugging a bowl of popcorn against his chest.

“If you’re wondering whether they train in marksmanship here—no. I send them elsewhere for that,” Wild continued. “The people you see now are just new recruits.”

“They’re just new recruits?” Patricia gasped, her gaze darting between the trainees. “If this is what the recruits look like, then what about those who are already deployed?”

“Wow! I thought you were silly, but that’s actually a good question,” Wild mused.

“If Penny said that, that’s slander!” Patricia huffed. “I’m a logical person!”

Wild laughed, finding the contrast between Teddy’s business-like approach and Patricia’s cluelessness amusing.

“Even before we partnered with trusted agencies, Prime Group had its own unique security training program,” Yugi explained, nodding toward Wild. “He’s the head of personal security assistance and the man behind all our top-tier agents.”

“Sir, it’s a pleasure to—”

“Don’t call me ‘sir’!” Wild cut Shawn off with a laugh, waving dismissively. “Everyone here calls me Uncle Wild. And don’t you dare call me ‘T. Mouse.'”

His tone suddenly darkened, and his eyes glinted with something almost unhinged. “I am not Penny, with her weird taste in nicknames. And I definitely don’t look like a mouse.”

Yugi chuckled, while the four recruits wrinkled their noses slightly. Wild’s name was already strange—none of them had ever met someone named “Wild” before.

“Anyway, as I was saying, only a handful of Prime Group employees have access to this floor,” Yugi continued. “By ‘a handful,’ I mean three people—your boss, Uncle Wild, and me. The recruits you see here haven’t even set foot in the main company building. They have a separate entrance and exit. Likewise, all company employees don’t even know this floor exists.”

The four recruits furrowed their brows, absorbing this new information.

“If that’s the case…” Hayley trailed off. “Why are we allowed in here?”

“Because you work for Penelope,” Wild answered, his tone turning gruff. “You might not get full access to this floor—maybe not ever—but you at least need to be aware of its existence. After all, Penny is the head of this company, and as her hands and feet, you need to understand certain things.”

Wild slowly approached them, stopping right in front of Shawn. His sharp gaze bore into him, lips pressed into a frown, his presence radiating intimidation.

“If you can’t keep this floor’s existence confidential,” he said, gripping Shawn’s shoulder and pulling him down slightly, “then you don’t deserve to work for Penny.”

Shawn gulped. He might have been a big guy, but if Wild challenged him to a fight, he wasn’t about to accept. He knew he would get beaten to a pulp.

“She doesn’t just need competent people,” Wild continued. “She needs people who know when to keep their mouths shut and understand the importance of loyalty.”

“Haha,” Yugi chuckled. “Uncle Wild, stop scaring them.”

Wild finally let go of Shawn’s shoulder, dusting it off as if wiping away imaginary dirt.

“That’s all I’m saying. And that goes for the rest of you.”

“We understand,” Teddy replied, unfazed by Wild’s intimidation.

“Keeping my mouth shut is one of my fortes,” Hayley added with a confident smile. “Don’t worry. We’ll prove that we deserve to be here.”

Patricia glanced between Hayley and Teddy before raising a hand. “That’s true. Penny hired us for a reason, and we’re going to prove we deserve it.”

Wild eyed them, skeptical. ‘Those two… I don’t doubt. But you and this big crybaby…?’ He kept his thoughts to himself and shrugged before turning to Yugi.

“Anyway, is Penny in her office yet?”

“She said she’d be late today, but we’re heading off to the preliminaries,” Yugi replied, flashing Wild a teasing smile. “So, no grilling meat in her office.”

“Gah!” Wild spat, waving a hand dismissively. “Get these kids out of here before I get the idea to let them spar with one of my men.”

Shawn stiffened, having the eerie feeling that Wild was talking about him specifically. Hayley and Teddy remained composed, both seeming almost eager. Something about this floor had sparked something in them.

Patricia, on the other hand, found herself deep in thought.

‘If Angel and that weird Mylo are already deployed… does that mean they’re even better than these guys?’ Her face scrunched up. ‘Angel saved me, but I still can’t picture him fighting like this. He looks way too weak to be on their level.’

If only she knew.

Had Angel not been deployed to Zoren, he would be the one sparring with these recruits—shattering their morale to pieces.
