"Hey my slave, this is our temporary base of operation. You already know what to do right?"
The Lich nodded while looking at the 7 story building. He is quite displease by Archie calling him Slave but there's nothing he can do about it.
"I don't want to interfere with your decision or something but think you should give the Lich a proper name instead of just calling him slave. He has been a great help to us these past few days and he didn't do anything against us."Roshane said.
She is the Research Director hired by Archie from Hunters association to conduct research about potions. Although they know how to create effective potions, it's still better to conduct research to each one of them to ensure their safety.
Aside from being a Research Director she is also in charge of its overall sales and production. Her authority is only second to Archie who is the Founder of the company named Arch Enterprise in overseeing potion related things and managing the employees of that department.
"I still hold a grudge against him but I guess it's time to move on already. I am not good at naming, can you name him for me? It's not like I care about him anyways."
Archie nonchalantly said.
"I don't know what to say but I couldn't blame you for hating him. Ok I'll come up with a name for the Lich on the next day."
Archie just nodded in agreement.
"Hey Lich, you will listen to Mrs. Roshane and Mr. Frances of the Magic Item Research & Development department understand? I already imparted you will half of my knowledge regarding potion brewery and magic item artificing. So make use of it. But aside from that, you and your skeletons are also assigned to safeguard the company and protect it and it's employees to any threats, I also don't want spy and traitors inside so you better deal with it, Understand?
The Lich didn't utter a single word and just nodded.
"Notify me immediately if something that you cannot handle comes." Archie added and he look at Mrs. Roshane.
"By the way before I forgot. Submit the list of everything that you needed here to operate and submit it to my secretary. China will provide it for us so don't hold back, it's their payment to me after my service. We would probably stay here for at least 3 years until the construction of our main building finish so please take care of this one for the time being and ask the Lich to use magic magic to reinforce it constantly. I think that's all, if you need anything just ask my secretary, I already give instructions to that one."
"You can count on me so you can rest assure." Mrs. Roshane said.
Archie knows that he can trust her because she is recommended by Mr. Soreso. She also handle a pharmaceutical company before but she leave it behind to his son to manage, since she wanted to be a pioneer researcher in the new world.
"Thank you, just remember to never ever agree to be a exclusive manufacturer of someone no matter how much money they offer understand? Especially to this poor country. If someone threatens you, just use my name and the Lich in your care understood?"
Mrs. Roshane nodded in agreement. She doesn't know exactly why her boss doesn't want to be exclusive manufacturer of someone but she decided not to ask.
"Things regarding that area will be put into the important decisions that needed your consent."
Archie shakes his head which makes Mrs. Roshane confuse.
"Don't include it, it's not important, just ignore those people who wants exclusivity to our products. No one will be able to control us this way and we will grow bigger to the point that we become an international business. I gotta go now, the Chairman is probably looking for me already."
Archie move to the side and wave his hand to Mrs. Roshane who was also waving her hand at him.
--Teleport--
Archie arrive at his office and he saw Clark there typing in his computer while Mr. Joseph was interviewing people.
He is the friend of Mr.Soreso who is very good at handling this things that's why he is hired to his right hand person.
As far as Archie remember he is currently prioritizing interviewing people that are capable of management to help them develop even faster. His official role is Managing Director, since Vice Chief position is not suited in the department.
"Chief you are here? We receive reports of Awakened issues, we currently still lack personnel to handle such matters since I'm busy here. Can you please take a look?" Mr. Joseph asks.
Archie take a glance at Clark but the other is very busy working so he take a look again at Mr. Joseph who was very busy as well and nod.
"I'm uncomfortable being called as Chief but anyways, is hierarchy already establish in our department? Why are we still lacking people that can handle important roles? Aren't you recruiting people for 3 days already?" Archie ask as he take a look at the documents in his desk.
"Yes, but everytime I found one, the Chairman reviews it and place some of them to a very important role in other department. It seems like recruitment of capable individuals is not going easy to their side as well, but yesterday they slowed down. It seems like important positions has been filled up in the other department as well."
Archie just nodded and accept the fact that some capable people were being stolen by the Chairman from their department. But he's not holding a grudge since he knows that the Chairman is just putting people to their right place.
"I understand, it seems like the Hunters department of information, and the Hunters department of awakened affairs needed those people that we do since when it comes to recruitment of people that are capable of thinking on their own, they are the one that leads the way." Archie shares his understanding, but Mr.Joseph knows that those people that he recruited where not sent to those department but instead to the Hunters department of justice, which were assigned to create new laws and regulations to both protect awaken, hunters, and ordinary people, they need to submit the first batch of laws to the office of the president to be reviewed next week, that's why they needed people with good minds.
But he didn't correct Archie since those two department really leads the way in recruiting those type of people. It's just that this department is new and Archie who was not around recently doesn't know anything about it.
As Mr. Joseph didn't reply to Archie since he is now talking to the person that he is currently interviewing. Archie read the reports.
The most important of them all were report of someone using awaken powers to flood a farm in Davao City.
The awaken person doesn't seem to be a register one. And when police tried to control the situation along with the agents sent to the area, the awaken use her powers to resist. Hence, they ask for our help.
Each city has a branch of awakened association, each were containing agent/s to respond to such things, and if they cannot handle it they are task to report it to the Hunters Association Head Quarters to formally delivery an emergency request to Guilds assigned to the area.
Archie immediately contacted the Frost Legion Guild in Davao City. After a few rings the people on the other side finally answer.
"Hello, this is the Chief Officer of Hunter Association, is this the Frost Legion Guild?" Archie asks.
"It is the secretary of the Guild Leader of Frost Legion. How may I help you?"
Archie could hear a gentle voice on the other side and his heart becomes heavy by imagining how beautiful David's ex probably is. His insecurity of being born as a gay bloomed in his heart unexpectedly. He thought that he can handle it but memories of his past flooded his mind.
Archie is scared, scared that David might return to his ex and leave him behind again.
Archie take a deep breath and follow his mind instead of listening to his heart. If David and her return to each other, there's nothing he can do about it. He will just flee away from the country and start his life again, just like how he planned it originally.
"We have an emergency situation in Casuga Farm, 2 C rank agents as well as police where unable to control the situation. We request help from your guild to support them. The awaken that runs amok in the place is estimated to be B-rank to A-rank. Please ask Charlie personally along with some of your guild members to handle the situation."
While Archie was talking, Charlie who heard everything since he is just in the same room as David's secretary, signaled for the telephone. The secretary immediately obey and handed it over.
"We are about to enter a Beginner B rank dungeon, can we just do it later?" Charlie said.
"What are you saying? As far as I can remember, you are not allowed to enter the dungeon, your work over there is just to temporarily handle your brothers work and not to subjugate on your own. Your brother will wake up tonight, let him handle the dungeon tomorrow, if you want to join him then ask him tomorrow."
"Why would I listen to you? Who are you in my life by the way?"
Archie were speechless to his response.
