Business meeting (3)
Read from noble mtl dot com
Meeting foreigners was not unusual.
In my previous life, I had wandered through the south-central United States, and I had exchanged greetings with UAE officials wearing turbans and white cloths.
However, it is quite an unfamiliar sight to see nose-dressers arguing with old Asians.

My eyes are nailed to the recruiter at Chevron Corp.
To put it precisely, the two eyes listened to the fight between the HT Group’s chairman and the recruiter, and the ears picked up the interpreter’s remarks.
“There will be no shortage of conditions. For $120 million, that’s enough money to recruit a couple of third-rate melee players.”
“I don’t know if it’s a reasonable amount, but… Doesn’t sound like a good place to hand over a recruiting offer. I don’t want to come out to business meetings and do business.”
Is it because the market has grown?
The blond man casually offered an amount of 150 billion won in Korean currency, and the other side snorted and refused.
“The merchants don’t lay out the plates, covering their seats.”
“If you do, you’ll know that I’m not even doing a business that loses money.”
“… Is it a loss?”
“Looks like we know enough to know each other, but let’s stop messing around.”
The fact that he possessed specialized abilities had leaked out in the meantime, but the people at the US embassy showed a troubled expression, but were not embarrassed.
Soon after, a nobleman, who was said to be the US ambassador to Korea, intervened and added his strength.
They put pressure on me with my size, befitting my status.
“It’s okay if you don’t accept it right away, so why don’t you send a dispatch in the form of studying abroad?”
“… Is this the ambassador’s personal opinion? Or official?”
“It spans both sides. The US government has a strong interest in recruiting talent from around the world. Of course, I have been aware of Lee Yong-soo since Aurigo (operator: Level 5 monster). Of course, I didn’t expect to put in a recruiting offer so early… Considering the execution of the villain, the performance in the wave, and the important performance of ‘Other’, I thought that it should not be delayed any longer.”
He spins the wine in the glass round and round and shows a relaxed smile.
The chairman of HT Group is also spoken of with a darkened complexion as he is nothing but a criminal in front of the value of the name of the US government.
“Will my grandchildren be of great help?”
“I wouldn’t have brought up an offer if it didn’t help.”
“… … .”
Did you try to put forward a cause?
He tries to play tricks with the word grandson, but it is not enough.
Well.
Just watching, the old man’s face is turning brown every minute… Surprisingly, it was a lot of fun.
“It’s not a sign of robbing. I’m trying to find a way to benefit everyone.”
“That doesn’t sound like a gain, really.”
“You have to look at the big picture. As you know, the international situation is fluctuating these days. In Asia alone, new breeding grounds are discovered in western China, central Mongolia, the Philippines and Indonesia, or existing ones are evolving. In Europe, waves occur near the borders of France and Germany, and the rest of southern Italy is also virtually anarchic.”
Countries that have not yet collapsed, such as northwestern Saudi Arabia and southeastern Turkiye (former/Turkey), are popping up one after another.
In fact, while Saudi Arabia maintains its existence with a small number of cities as its starting point, Turkiye is expected to collapse sooner or later.
If the former survived thanks to the need for oil resources, the latter was not a threat as long as the narrow passage to Europe was blocked.
“America is different. Excluding the Alaskan and Mexican fronts-”
“Excuse me, but the situation is not very different in Ah-gook. South America completely collapsed, forming a colony of monsters. In particular, the change over the past three months is not enough to be described as dramatic. The number of variants found has increased significantly, and the number of large-scale breeding farms has increased to five. Our government is closely monitoring the situation.”
“… Got it. I got it, so why do you need spring water? To be honest, the United States is not a country that lacks promising talent. They say they have excellent abilities, but I heard that there are 4th-class heroes in the same age group.”
“you’re right. As you said, there are plenty of top-notch prospects in the 4th and 5th grades. And that is the country’s plan. It brings together the best to create a system that allows you to compete, collaborate, and grow. We named the program ‘top-notch’ and are targeting Tier 4 raids in the short term and Tier 1 raids in the medium to long term.”
“… … .”
“I wonder how the person concerned feels. What do you think?”
Then, as if out of nowhere, the ambassador’s gaze flies towards me.
It was as if he was struck by lightning while watching from the back, so even though he drew attention from the Minister of Industry and Trade, his words did not come out easily.
＜This is a timely remark. I was just trying to tell you about the apostles rampaging? Breeding grounds and the frequency of higher-level monster appearances, as well as overall activity levels are increasing. In that sense… See that’s not a bad suggestion. Is it a big stage? It will be easier to play, and the risk of subjugation will be lower.＞
“… … .”
＜Disadvantage is travel time? I don’t know how long it will take to get to America.＞
In the meantime, a parrot sitting on the back of a chair teased me with its beak.
I prefer to ask questions instead of answers.
The old man shot eyes filled with a sense of betrayal, but in reality it was a question that stemmed from pure curiosity rather than a serious test.
“How long does it take to get to America?”
“It will arrive in 10 days at the earliest and 2 weeks at the latest.”
It took more than 3 weeks to get over by stowaway, but it was reduced to 10 days when the government intervened.
However, no matter how long the voyage was, there was no time to continue contemplation, so he soon passed the baton into the hands of the chairman.
I’ll get over it someday, but it’s too early.
There was no need to be angry.
“I don’t like it. After reaching an agreement with the managers-”
“I will not treat you badly. Even in the form of studying abroad, I will pay the full price. Simply put, in addition to the proceeds of disposing of the monster’s corpse, a risk allowance of more than $100,000 per episode will be paid. In the case of special missions chosen autonomously, additional allowances will be added. In other words, in accordance with the Minor Hero Management Act, you will receive a basic allowance of $200,000 if you complete all of the subjugation times twice a month. As for Hanwha… It will be around 260 million.”
“… … .”
And the reason why it is difficult to go over is that the US Ambassador to Korea vomits up on its own.
The Underage Hero Management Bill, or UHMB for short.
It will be a beautiful protection bill for the hegemon, which limits the number of mobilizations for subjugation operations to twice a month for those under the age of 18.
“I know I am treated well enough by the HT group. However, it is undeniable that it is a better environment, both financially and experientially.”
A bird that reminds us that the goddess’s duties are given irregularly.
Even Chevron’s recruitment manager intervenes and heats up the persuasion.
After all, it was money.
“For reference, the monster’s body is purchased by the central government. Basic allowance literally means basic amount. The amount paid by Chevron is set aside.”
“I’m not going.”
“… You may change your mind if I tell you the minimum salary. How about changing seats?”
“I’m fine with the money, but I’m having trouble with severe seasickness.”
“… Yes?”
The interpreter answered at the end.
What a serious disease seasickness is, but the look of asking again with a hard-to-believe expression… It was very annoying.

Three days later, Tuesday, December 19, 2028.
After finishing the beggarly business community meeting over the weekend, I was about to lead the team I registered at the training academy to the outskirts of Area 3.
The destination is Gwangju, Gyeonggi.
The area itself was located outside the 3rd barrier, but as part of the metropolitan area expansion plan, it was a place where a simple barrier was built and stabilization work began.
Like the first dispatch, the difficulty level was Ha-Ha, and it was a mission to secure the safety of the ranch.
Unfortunately, there were no herds of cows roaming in the white snow.
The big eyes were gathered in a cramped barn to ensure safety, and the ranch owner also stayed in the bunker and didn’t even show his nose.
However, the monsters were only three level 9 monsters, and the equipment of the rest of the team except for Im Seong-min of OSSAM was changed.
We are close to ending the situation in 3 hours.
puck!
near the foot of the mountain.
When Toya threw Velikanis, who resembles a dog, into a dry tree trunk, Park Gun-young threw a dagger to finish it off.
I wish I had finished it once and for all.
Due to the lack of accuracy, the first shot penetrated the torso, and the second attack cut off the breath.
“… Really good.”
“Toya, it seems like an idea. It goes in easily. Stuff is great.”
The giant exclaims as he wipes the venom from his forearm.
It would be nice to focus on the subjugation process rather than the equipment.
They were busy chatting about the advantages of low-level jewels, such as amplification, strength, and anticipation.
＜You’re telling me to listen.＞
“… … ?”
＜The equipment was leased from the HT Group, so you should know that it’s thanks to you, but you have to show that much. isn’t it?＞
I kind of understand it, but I don’t like it.
3 hours to kill three level 9s.
Considering that the parrot guided the way, the mission shouldn’t have taken this long.
At this, my eyes turn to the short girl behind the group.
Panting.
The sound of his heavy breathing, his sweaty bangs, and his half-dead expression indicated that he had poor stamina.
“It’s all over, right?”
“… yes.”
“I don’t think anyone is doing dispatching.”
you look like anyone
Personal grievances only roll inwardly.
From what I’ve seen so far, it’s more efficient for me to take the initiative in the actual battle, and for Park Geon-yeong to reprimand or comfort the teammates.
He has a cool-headed side to him, so while we were close, he even exposed himself without hesitation.
At that time, Im Seol-ha, who was sitting in the snow, spewed out an outrageous story.
“Yongsu, are you going to America?”
“what?”
I couldn’t stand it, and when I saw the security cell phone taken out, a sharp tone came out.
A dead finger points to the inside of the liquid crystal.
“… No, after a news article.”
“Article?”
“yes. here… It came up on the front page that ‘exporting heroes is like draining national wealth’. The people will not forgive the government if it tries to sit by on a critical national security issue… … .”
“… … .”
“… Are you really going?”
Presumably, the old tiger was playing tricks.
