NovelOnlineChapter 36 1/2 Bonnie caught his glance and stared at him fiercely. The six-foot-five man was startled and proceeded to pretend that nothing had happened. He stared straight forward and waited for the test to start.
“The test will begin now. Form two rows, and we'll hold the duels one by one,” the butler said to the bodyguards.

should do it.” Alfred nodded in satisfaction. “Take a break, everyone. I'll pick a captain in twenty minutes.” After twenty minutes went by, Alfred arranged for them to duke it out amongst themselves. The six- foot-five man was very skillful. He sent his opponents flying in no time.
Alfred was about to make him captain when Bonnie spoke up. “I don’t think it's enough for the Knight family’s bodyguard to be good in a fight. That's too easy. They should have some medical knowledge as well.” He was stunned. The disdain in his eyes was unmistakable. “You're just a student, Ms. Bonnie. It would be better for you not to get involved. After all, this is about the security of the Knight family.” Alfred might have said that in a respectful tone, but he did look down on her. He couldn't believe Bonnie really thought she was mistress of the house.
She, on the other hand, paid him no mind. She needed to confirm her suspicions. “In 1998, the wealthiest man in Aquilonia, Nox Turner, died of poisoning. His bodyguard had zero medical knowledge, so he didn’t realize that a toxin could be produced by combining certain foods. It induced a heart attack.
“In 2005, the royal princess of Xentara accidentally breathed in an odorless, poisonous gas and slipped into unconsciousness. She remains in a vegetative state to this day. Many incidents like that have happened. Do you think you'll be able to take responsibility if someone tried to poison one of the Knights?” Bonnie might have spoken calmly, but Alfred was unnerved. He wasn’t happy about this. He felt as if she was challenging his authority. So, he said spitefully, “Maybe you should test them then, Ms. Bonnie. You must have worked out something before you interrupted my tests.” If she wanted to show off, he'd put her on the spot. In any case, Bonnie was a terrible student. She was probably just trying to show off. There was no way she could think of something to actually test the bodyguards with.
“Sure thing.” Bonnie accepted the challenge and ordered some pens and papers to be brought to her. She wrote down ten questions in no time and gave them to a gobsmacked Alfred.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmChapter 36 He verified the questions with the doctor he hired for his tests. To their disbelief, they were substantial questions! She wouldn't have been able to come up with these questions if she hadn’t done some profound research in the toxicology field.
The doctor regarded her in admiration. “I can’t believe you have such a deep knowledge of toxicology, Ms.
Bonnie. Could you give me some pointers?” Alfred was totally shocked. When Bonnie gave the word, the bodyguards went on to take the additional test. Only a few of them could give the correct answers, but the six-foot-five man managed to get a perfect score.
She checked his answer sheet and chuckled. She walked to the man in question and asked with a smile, “What's your name?” “Tim Reid.” “Tim Reid...” Bonnie muttered, “Hmm. What a fine name. It reminds me of someone.
The man’s fingers twitched slightly.
“Do you want to know who it reminds me of?” Bonnie grinned widely.
“I-1'm not sure about that.” She kept grinning and said lightly, “It reminds me of the King of Combat, Jim Ray.” Alfred was very displeased. “Watch your tongue, Ms. Bonnie! If Ms. Bonita and Mr. Jim find out what you said, it'll bring catastrophe to the Knight family. You'll be the person who caused their downfall!“ /p>
