Novel Bin 94 Chapter 93
"Is there a reason why you had to pick me up?" Leon asked.
"Yes, rank A and S members of our organization work in a different manner than the members of lower rank," Sarah explained. "They do all kinds of things, and they receive the contents of the jobs from the receptionists who talked with them. It is necessary to create a sense of familiarity between members and the organization."
"I see... so that means that from today onward, I may end up receiving jobs that may take days to complete," Leon said. "But it is also possible that somedays I won\'t have to do anything?"
"That is right, but you can rest assured," Sarah added. "Your salary will be paid even if you don\'t receive a single mission in a month, and you will receive a bonus for each mission completed.
After arriving at the main building, they climbed the stairs until they reached the tenth floor. That floor only had four rooms, one room for each director, and a meeting room where they occasionally received visits.
"It is Sarah; I brought Leonard." Sarah knocked on the meeting room\'s door.
"Come in."
It was the voice of someone fluent in English, so Leon imagined that it was William\'s voice. Surprisingly, he seemed pretty calm, considering that he was leading a shady organization. Then again, aside from their goals and the fact they were using maids to satisfy the needs of their employees, everything else was pretty decent.
When Leon and Sarah entered the room, he saw three figures sitting around an oval table, in the middle, there was a man who had short black hair. He was tall and had the body of someone who loved to work out. Just by his haircut, Leon discovered that William wasn\'t an ordinary person; he was once a marine.
On his right side, Leon saw a brown-haired man who had a big mustache. His eyes were sharp but quite calm. His build was short, but despite that, his muscles were well-defined. The person sitting on the left side was a red-haired woman, she kind reminded Leon of Jess since she also some impatience in her eyes. Aside from her hair and eyes, she looked pretty ordinary.
"Director William, Director Sanchez, Director Alisson," Sarah slightly bowed. "As instructed, I brought Leonard."
"Thank you, Sarah, you two may sit," William said.
The table was quite big, so Leon and Sarah ended up sitting on the opposite side of Wiliam. Leon expected the people who were ruling the Allied Forces of the North-America to look a little shadier, but that was probably because he watched too many movies in the past.
"Hello, Leonard," William said. "We heard about you from the examiner, Paul. He told us how you defeated a mutated beast and about your progress in the last month."
"I was lucky in surviving the battle and also in learning a type of magic," Leon said.
"Even though you say that, I can see a lot of confidence in your eyes." William put his elbows on the table.
"Well, I have been practicing that magic a lot, and I guess killing a beast like that also boosted my ego," Leon explained.
"And you should feel prideful of yourself," William said with a severe expression. "Those beasts started to appear recently, but only a few soldiers can defeat them. The number of people in my command that can solo that kind of monsters didn\'t reach the two digits house... so you can imagine my surprise when I heard that a rank B member in the organization almost single-handedly killed a monster."
"I was lucky, sir," Leon said. "The beast lost its defensive aura when it created the sandstorm."
"Yeah, I heard of it," William nodded. "It is difficult to find mages, much less someone who has so much power. However, you haven\'t fully mastered your power, have you? I believe you show great promise, but you still need to train for a while longer."
"I also think the same, sir." Leon nodded.
"Very good," William said, and then pulled a map out of his pocket and gave it to Sarah who approached to pick it. "While considering the potential of your growth, I think this is a pretty good place for you to train. Our organization also needed the resources we can obtain there, but we are having difficulties in clearing the dungeon. But with your help, I believe the team stationed there will progress a lot and eventually clear the dungeon."
"Of course, it will be my pleasure to help them," Leon said.
"Good, Sarah will give you the information you will need about the dungeon and monsters," William smiled. "She will also explain to you about your new benefits. You can go now.
"Yes, sir." Leon got up and slightly bowed.
Leon hoped to hear something interesting while he and Sarah left the tenth floor, but something so convenient didn\'t happen. Either way, now Leon had a good idea of who he was dealing with. He looked to be a cool and collected leader, but Leon was pretty sure that it was just an act. Regardless, in the end, whatever the people in the Allied Forces of the North-America decided to do, he had the final word, and that meant that he was directly related to the death of Makoto\'s son.
It looked like William was a melee fighter, defeating him wouldn\'t be easy, much less to imprison him. Maybe some metal clothes would stop his movements, but not for long. So, Leon couldn\'t just capture him and ask who else was involved. He had to discover who was involved first and then capture all of them later.
"Easier said than done..."
