Chapter 169: Chapter 169 - Hiring
"And that isn\'t a cause of worry because…"
"Because she is surrounded by the world\'s best cage. The steel walls themselves can generate up to 10 billion volts. That\'s similar to 10 thunderbolts."
"And even if that\'s not enough we also put runes surrounding her body and some of them are also on her body."
"And even more so we put anti gravity field machines under the giant centipede so that it would also have trouble trying to move if it tried."
William heard all of that and nodded multiple times then he said.
"So all I hear is that there is a giant centipede that could maybe destroy the whole society above it if it ever woke up from its slumber and you put steel bars around it, drew up some drawings and put some machines under it that was supposed to make the thousands of ton heavy beast only slightly heavier."
"You get what I am getting at right?"
"Yeah I completely heard what you said but you only said that in the most basic way possible.
Believe me when I say that this thing won\'t be able to get out of this cage."
"Hmm… You said that this big centipede moved for a while, didn\'t it?"
"Yeah but only momentarily and not in consciousness."
"Did you put any kind of anti movement runes on its body?"
"Yes, we did put some."
"Then how was it able to move even though momentarily?" William asked as he looked straight into Delmar\'s eyes.
Delmar thought for a long time as he seemed to not find any answer to the question.
"Hmm… Let me ask that question to the guys in that department later."
William nodded and looked at the sleeping beast before Delmar said again.
"So wanna see something cool that I made specially for you?"
William got curious when he heard that it was specially for him so he said.
"Yeah, sure. Let\'s go."
Delmar nodded and walked forward as William followed behind him. As they walked William realized that they were only going deeper into the secret place asked him.
"Is the thing you built for me under here?"
"Yeah. But because we needed a good spot for it to build and also because there was no space back there so we had to choose somewhere deep inside here."
They walked for a while before Delmar stopped in front of a door and opened it with a security pin which was written on a paper stuck on the door.
"And Voila."
Opening the door, William saw inside a large room filled with all kinds of training equipment like swords, arrows, long range weapons, mid range weapons, some bullseye fields and most of all there was something here that made him more excited than anything.
William walked into the room and got close to something that was very big and circular with there being blue sticky liquid in the middle of it.
"So you made me a cultivating pool."
"Yes, among many others but I thought this might be the thing that you might like best so I got the biggest there was in the market and it\'s quality is super high as well.
So tell me what do you think about this place?"
William looked around him again before looking back at the cultivating pool and nodded.
"Yes, it\'s great. I will be able to cultivate quite calmly and without being disturbed by any as well."
William tapped on the pool one last time before he said,
"Alright now on to real matters, Have you changed my villa\'s AI system?"
"No. But I will do that at night today when the servers reset at 00:00. That would be the opportune time for me to change the AI system without the server\'s knowing about it."
"Alright and now what is your progress with building the underground place in your factory?"
"Well… It\'s staggering for the time being."
"Oh! And why is that?"
"Because I am trying to put in loyal people from there to here. All I have over there is some slackers and I can\'t even bring in more people without completely checking their BG out.
Who knows where the Great House\'s have their own people spying at."
"Yeah one can never be too careful nowadays." William said as he thought of another thing.
"Oh! Yeah. There\'s also something that needs my attention the most but I can\'t do that without your help?"
Delmar asked intrigued, "What is it?"
"I need a teacher."
"... For what exactly? I don\'t think you need to learn your vocabulary anymore now. It looks good enough as it is."
"NO. I need someone who can teach me about weapons.
And most importantly, I need someone who can teach me how to fight."
"Alright I\'ll find someone that fits the category." Delmar said.
"No no. I don\'t need just someone NO. I want the best."
"Hmm… the best huh? That will be very difficult to achieve." Delmar said after some thoughts.
"I have almost infinite money. Surely you can get the best teacher for me."
"It\'s not about the money, Kid. You yourself once said that not everyone can be bought with money, isn\'t that correct?"
"Yes I did. But I also said that they can also be bought with something else, that can be bought with money too."
"Alright then I will try my best. I know someone who is actually quite good at fighting with weapons. Who knows that person might teach you."
"Okay then get that person."
"Again, I\'ll try but… It will take a lot of time. That person is… unlocatable for the time being."
"Okay then I\'ll wait as long as it takes."
"Now, let\'s talk about the negotiator."
[ A Few Moments Later ]
"Hello my name is Pedro." An unknown guy said.
"Hello, Pedro. Mine\'s William. William Trust. What is your full name?"
"Pedro. Only Pedro, nothing more." The unknown guy said.
"Un haa. What is your experience again?" William said and looked at the guy in front of him.
The guy was 6 foot 2, had a good looking face and a smile that wasn\'t understandable at all.
William felt creeped out looking at the smile but it was also smile that told him this was the man that he needed.
"I worked at a por-"
"You know what, I don\'t need your work experience. Just do one thing and this job is yours."
The guy smiled mysteriously and said "Alright"
William put two things on the table. Pedro looked at it and saw that it was a storage ring and a business card.
"The ring has 20 Billion Dollars in it, you just have to go to this location and buy the whole agency."
The guy smiled and nodded as he took the two things and left.
William waited until the guy left the coffee shop and then he asked Delmar who was beside him.
"The guy looks…"
"Yeah I know. That\'s why I chose him and did you seriously mean what you said earlier?"
"Yeah I did." read-more-at-NovelBin
[ 30 Minutes Later ]
Pedro sat in the booth as he took out some papers and the storage ring as he put them on the booth.
"You\'re Hired"
