There was confusion in Hajrudin's eyes, but he quickly rembered sothing.
"Employnt?"
"That's right. After this matter is over, I hope to employ so giants."
Hajrudin: "..."
What kind of request was that?
There were already so among the giant race who worked as rcenaries!
"I will report your request to Elbaph."
Hajrudin did not hesitate any further and heavily knocked his head to the ground. "But regardless of the outco, as long as it is Mr. Ian's command, no matter what it is, I, Hajrudin, swear to do my utmost to complete it, even if it ans becoming an enemy of the World Governnt."
"No need to say things so hastily. After your companions are rescued, you can discuss it among yourselves again."
Ian looked deeply at Hajrudin. He had not expected this man to make such a promise. Although the employnt request had not yet been finalized, Hajrudin had already made such a vow in his own na.
Although he could not represent Elbaph, Ian had not forgotten Hajrudin's identity. One could say that this promise already carried considerable weight.
After saying this to Hajrudin, Ian turned and walked toward the conference room. As he walked, he said to Zephyr beside him: "Summon the others for a eting."
His tone was cold. "A bunch of outsiders actually dare to co to the West Blue to hunt slaves. Do they really think this place is their hunting ground?"
While Ian was holding a eting on his side, on the other side, over at the Grado Security Company.
As Grado's current boss, Gini could be said to have been living quite irritably during this period.
It was not because of anything else, but once again because of those slave-hunting groups that had co from outside.
Although thanks to the deterrence of the Umbrella Corporation, those slave-hunting groups had not entered the islands under Grado's jurisdiction, their arrival had still severely affected Grado's wine business.
One had to know that Grado's wine business was spread across the entire sea. As soon as those people arrived, they turned the West Blue into a complete ss, making the sea area of the non-affiliated countries extrely chaotic and seriously affecting business over there.
So rchants even beca afraid that after entering the regions of the non-affiliated countries, they would be captured and turned into slaves, so they no longer dared to enter those regions to do business.
One could imagine how heavy the losses on Grado's side were!
After once again comforting the subordinates who had co to complain, Gini helplessly rubbed his forehead, let out a long sigh, and lazily lay back in the chair, as if he was too tired to even move.
Of course, it was not physical exhaustion, but ntal exhaustion!
"... Are you really not planning to take action against those guys?"
Daz Bonez, who had always been Gini's deputy, fell silent for a mont before speaking in a flat tone. "The wine business has dropped by thirty percent during this period, and it's still expanding. The people below are already dissatisfied."
"You think I don't want to take action?"
Gini spread his hands helplessly. "You know very well what background those slave-hunting groups have. Standing behind them is the World Governnt. And what about us? We're not the Marines bearing the banner of justice. Although on the surface we also hang the sign of a legitimate company, who on the seas doesn't know that we're part of the underworld forces."
Gini shook his head with a bitter smile. "Even if justice is to be carried out, it won't be our turn. Not to ntion the World Governnt, nowadays, which slave-hunting group doesn't have the shadow of underworld forces behind it? It's already good enough that we're not getting involved right now, let alone... The boss hasn't given us any orders. Just relying on you and ..."
He glanced sideways at Daz Bonez. "Do you think with just this handful of people we can contend with so many underworld forces?"
Although Grado was also a mber of the Umbrella Corporation, they were well aware that Grado was rely the Umbrella Corporation's white glove.
Acting on their own would easily create a bad influence within the underworld forces.
And most importantly, the boss had not given any orders. How were they supposed to act?
Declare war on the entire underworld?
Daz Bonez: "..."
As soon as these words fell, Daz Bonez fell silent again.
He also understood what Gini ant. Those slave-hunting groups not only had underworld forces behind them, but also the backing of the World Governnt. They were indeed not sothing Grado could deal with.
But as a veteran of Grado, he was still sowhat displeased by the current situation.
"Alright, alright!"
Seeing the displeasure in Daz Bonez's eyes, Gini comforted him a little. "Don't worry, I've already reported the situation here to the boss. I believe the boss will be able to handle it."
"Moreover, I had heard yesterday that Instructor Zephyr had already set out with a fleet to deal with the situation. Perhaps before long, those slave-hunting groups would calm down a bit."
"Instructor Zephyr's fleet?"
Hearing Gini's words, the silent Daz Bonez frowned again. "What about Grado? Are we just going to watch like this?"
Gini: "..."
So everything he had just said had gone in one ear and out the other.
Just as his words fell, when Gini helplessly glanced at Daz Bonez and was about to say sothing…
"Purururu!"
The Den Den Mushi on the desk rang.
Gini did not hesitate at all and directly picked it up. He seed to already know who it was, and hurriedly said respectfully: "Boss."
Then, as if he had heard sothing, the gloom on Gini's face was instantly swept away.
He imdiately beca excited, grinning as he spoke in a cheerful yet vicious tone: "You're absolutely right, boss. Those stinking outsiders actually dared to co to our turf to capture people. I've disliked them for a long ti. No, no, there haven't been any slave-hunting groups daring to make trouble on our turf. What I an is that those places will sooner or later also beco our turf."
As he spoke, he patted his chest and said in a serious tone: "Rest assured, boss. I will definitely handle things properly on my side."
"Click… Gacha!"
.....
As you may have noticed, the word 'completed' is written beside the title. It's because the author has completely written it, and I'm only a few chapters away from completely translating this novel.
