And this person was none other than Ichirou, that head of the bodyguard team. He had been in the security and in bodyguard business since the starting of his career, and the highest he was ever offered was 1 million USD by Nen, for the safety of his sister.
Big figures like 24 million USD and 25 million USD were making his mind blank. Not only his mind, but even his senses were also in the process of shutting down. At one point he was having difficulty standing there without coughing blood.
Back to the main plot, Ryuu threw an even bigger bet and raised his previous 25 million USD to 35 million USD. No matter what, he wanted Xin under him. And for the sa, he was ready to raise it as much as 50 million USD. After witnessing Ryuu offering another bigger bet, Natasha was getting ready to propose a yearly package of 50 million USD when a music rang in the room.
Everyone's eyes towards Yamamoto. It was the second ti when his ring tone interrupted their conversation. Last ti he had excused himself and went out to talk, but this ti he didn't do so.
And instead picked the call in the room, in the middle of their conversation.
"Oh, really!! Nice, I can all out now. Ahahahaha, ahahahah."
Observing his sudden burst of laughter, everyone in the room were getting a bad vibe out of it. After hanging off the call, Yamamoto first turned towards Ryuu, then gave him an evil grin. Before Ryuu asked him the reason, Yamamoto turned towards Nen and Natasha and gave them the sa evil smile.
"Sorry kiddos, even though your dad is a good friend of mine, business is business."
Ryuu ""
Nen ""
Natasha ""
They had already made the hunch that Yamamoto was gonna enter the battlefield; they were just waiting there to see the weapon that he was gonna take out to fight with them.
"Ahem, Mr. Xin, as the representative of the JSDF research departnt, I am inviting you to join this secret organisation working directly under and the Pri Minister."
Nen ""
Xin ""
Ryuu ""
Ichirou ""
Forget about the rest three this ti. Even Xin was taken aback by this offer. All of them beca sure that Xin would accept this invitation, and join the JSDF research departnt, under the head of defense, Yamamoto, and the current Pri Minister.
"You must be thinking, what are the benefits of joining our organisation and how is it superiors to the offers made by Ryuu, Nen and Natasha right?"
"YES!!" three of them replied at once, excluding Xin. He knew Yamamoto would start telling about it, even if he refused to listen. So he kept his mouth shut and let him spit out the benefits.
"National secrets, international secrets, wide connection throughout the nation, perks of being a high-rank officer like getting national-level security for your parents and relatives in ti of your need. And last, but not the least, a hearty salary of 75 million USD, excluding bonus. They are paid to us separately."
Defeat, utter defeat. Till then Ryuu, Nen, and Natasha were playing with tanks, guns, and missiles, But Yamamoto dropped an atomic bomb on them. The field cleared at once, no enemy remained.
On a side note, after hearing the benefits, Nen and Ryuu were tempted to ask the process of getting invited to the JSDF research departnt. But they stopped their urges to do so, after seeing Xin in between them. They could clearly tell their skills and knowledge were inferior to the kid after reading the program solved by him.
Now everyone's eyes were set on Xin, they were just waiting for him to agree. And as expected, he did say "yes" at last with a smirk.
Is what I wanted to narrate, but like the other ti, this ti too Xin refused the invitation. This ti not only Yamamoto, but the others also got disappointed. Though they couldn't get him in their companies, they wanted him to join the JSDF research departnt.
They knew if he joined that departnt he could have climbed greater heights, along with his skills. But after witnessing him refusing one of the biggest ever offers, they got disappointed and curious at the sa ti.
Disappointed, because if he works anywhere else, it would be a waste of his knowledge and skills. And curious, to know the reason why he refused a job offer of a 75 million USD yearly package, followed by other benefits.
Since Nen and Ryuu were more frustrated about it than Yamamoto, they couldn't contain themselves anymore and asked out the reason.
"Mr. Xin, can you please tell us the reason why you refused Mr. Yamamoto's 75 million USD job offer," Ryuu asked in a serious tone.
Nen too got serious and asked, "Mr. Xin, do you have any other plans or any reason that you refused such a big offer?"
"Ah I have, actually." Xin replied in a low voice.
"What?!!" this ti the head of the bodyguard team Ichirou couldn't endure the torture and joined the other two. Xin was literally offered a job that was seventy-five tis more than his.
If asked, he would have accepted the invitation without even thinking twice. But Xin here refused it without having a second thought about it.
"The thing is, I am just a high school student, I still have to graduate from a good university."
Ryuu "..."
Nen ""
Yamamoto ""
"In addition to that, I don't want to be tied down to any specific company organisation and company. I want to be a free bird soaring through the sky."
After hearing his reply, this ti Natasha couldn't hold it inside anymore and urged him to accept one of the offers at least. The three job proposals had offered him more than enough money that he could earn in his lifeti.
After hearing her urge, Xin exhaled and said, "Miss. Natasha, I have no interest in money. I am not tempted by them."
Funny thing, after saying this line, Xin turned towards Ryuu.
