Chapter 171: Chapter 171 - Improvements
William sighed in annoyance at being interrupted at such a critical point and asked loudly, "What is it?"
The door slid open slightly and a worker or more like a messenger slid his head in and said, "Good Noon, Boss."
"Yeah good noon to you too, Now tell me what is it?"
"The second Boss is calling for you."
"Tell him that I am busy practicing right now, I\'ll talk later."
"Alright Boss. Then I\'ll leave Boss." The messenger said and ran away locking the door.
William looked back to his bow and knocked the bow again as he concentrated on hitting the bullseye without the spell this time.
As he got ready to shoot, suddenly another knock sounded from the door startling him and he released the arrow.
Which sped away and hit completely away from its target.
"Heeee" William exasperated in anger as he put the bow and arrow away before walking towards the door and opening it.
He saw that it was the same person or someone who looked very similar to the one from before.
He didn\'t think about it much and asked, "What is it now?"
"I\'m sorry, Boss. But the second Boss said that it\'s important."
"How important?" William asked while raising his brows.
"The second Boss said that it has something to do with the fox hiding among all."
Hearing it William\'s eyes widened to a large degree, "What! He found the fox?"
"Umm I think so Boss. The second Boss wasn\'t very clear about it and just told me to tell you to come here as quickly as possible." The messenger said while scratching its head.
"Why didn\'t you say that before!" William said while closing the door on the messenger\'s face.
The messenger looked at the scene and thought whether to stay or leave. But he didn\'t have to wait much as the door opened up again and William came out of the training room fully dressed.
"Come on, Time is of the essence."
William said and walked quickly while the messenger followed behind him.
Both of them walked through the hallways of the now completely rebuilt secret underground place.
Before it had a few lights hovering over it and now it had lights everywhere with the ground and the ceiling also being replaced by tiles and other protective measures.
They both walked until they came upon a door where William knocked three times and said. "It\'s me."
The door was silent for a moment before the doors lock system automatically started turning and the door opened itself.
William was about to walk in but stopped himself and looked at the messenger following him and said, "You did a great job. It\'s okay now, you\'re dismissed."
The messenger didn\'t take it to heart being stopped at the most important place as none goes there except the bosses and the ones working there already.
The messenger nodded twice and quickly left the place as William walked in the room and the door behind automatically locked up.
The room inside was completely different with many kinds of machines there and the walls were filled with monitors which showed different things.
Some showed numbers, some charts and other videos of live things and recorded as well.
There were desks inside the room with keyboards and other machines which were being operated by the many people in that room.
William ignored all of that and came in front of Delmar who was looking at the huge screen in front of him.
"So were you able to finally find the guy?"
Delmar took a long drag of the cigar in his mouth before he replied.
"Yes… Yes I was."
"So after a year of searching for the mystery teacher he finally showed himself. Now that doesn\'t feel like luck is on our side now, does it?"
"No it isn\'t. It strangely feels like he wants us to find him or wants to see the people who have been following him for the past year?" Delmar said while he overlooked the huge monitor
"Where is he then?" William said and looked at the screen as well.
"We still haven\'t gotten a pinpoint location but our people are very close to getting that as well.
I\'m sure that in a few minutes we\'ll be able to get that f*cking basta*d."
William nodded as he changed the topic.
"Alright then forget about this for a moment, tell me what other news you got for me?"
"Well there is a lot of news Boss." Delmar said and took a drag of his cigar as he said, "Which one do you want to know first?"
"Tell me about my Bank."
"Well in short words it\'s a success."

"In a longer sense, Trust Bank is slowly climbing the ranks of being one of the most prominent banks in this city."
"Because of how low our loan interest rate is, Class B and lower class subjects are leaning towards us but we are having trouble with getting the higher class subjects."
"Why? Is something wrong with our policy?" William asked as he folded his hands in front of his body.
"Normally No. But because of how low the loan interest rate is, Class A and higher class subjects are having doubts about our bank."
"It might also be because we are new and that they already have made partnership with the already established banks that is causing us troubles."
William nodded as he listened in, "So has our problem solving team found some solutions to this \'General\' problem?"
"Well… they are suggesting that we increase our loan interest rate slightly so that the general populace and others start to believe us more and then when the time comes we can lower the interest rate which will garner us our loyal members." Delmar said lightly in hope of changing his views.
But William was adamant as he shook his head vigorously and denied that.
"No no no! We can not increase our interest rate ever. EVER do you understand!"
"It will be our biggest and greatest motto that \'We give the most and take the least\'"
Delmar sighed as he said, "Yeah I thought that you might say that so I told them to find other solutions."
"And were they able to come up with anything else?"
"They only gave me two ideas.
One, Is to use our superior budget to get more advertisements.
And Second, Is to buy out our competitions."
William put his hands on his mouth as he sighed again and said.
"I pay hundreds of thousands of dollars to a group of people to give me such mediocre ideas.
This is literally me just wasting my money."
"Do you want me to fire them and get someone better."
Hearing Delmar\'s words everyone in the room that was working stopped for a moment as they wanted to hear what William would say.
"No, don\'t do that, we still need people to give us solutions. Even though it\'s basic."
Every worker gave a sigh of relief until they heard the next words.
"But search for better people and slowly pluck out the ones with the least potential."
