387 – [7] End of preparation
#387
“Master, what should we do now?”
“First of all… ….”
Landin looked at the people around him.
For some reason, the attack was gradually pushed to the back of the list due to the suspicious nature.
She closed her eyes because if she had sprained in the first place, her girlfriend’s head could have been blown off.
After thinking and thinking for a while, she parted her lips.
“I think it would be right to find out why the armed Nartica guys are out on the streets before taking action.”
“But it may already be too late!”
“Yes! Moreover, if we wait longer like this, Antonella…… !!!”
“What we need to do now is not caution, but hardline!”
“Let’s deal with things like this one by one, starting with the guys on the streets! “We are showing our power to all of Arecibo!”
The opposite that jumps out immediately.
But not only was Landin not a fool, he had already made up his mind.
“No, it is right to act cautiously now. “If you act hastily, you could put everyone in danger.”
“Master Landin!”
“And you said they were armed? Looking at that, it is right to gather information carefully and attack only after additional reinforcements are received from Mexico.”
Stubborn refusal.
Landin’s logic was simple.
‘So do you have the resources and information to take strong action?’
‘Everyone doesn’t know where to attack, right?’
‘No matter how I look at it, it seems like suicide to continue like this, right?’
For a decisive attack, it was not possible to raid all over Arecibo.
If that were the case, the cadets, who were very angry at the interruption of their studies during the exam period and had become three times stronger than usual due to studying for the exam, would attack them.
Even if there were police, this was an unavoidable path from the moment public opinion worsened.
Everything should be short and bold.
Also, it was best not to leave any room for detection.
If it had to be left behind, it had to be at a level that the bribed police officers could handle.
“I also think what Master Landin said is correct. “We don’t even know where we should go in the first place.”
“That’s right. Moreover, the number of Nartica employees currently roaming the streets is more than one or two.”
“If we are not careful, we could all end up as water demons. “I think it’s right to proceed cautiously.”
Therefore, opposing opinions other than Landin poured out immediately.
They actively expressed the opinion that they could not just sit back and die like this.
Landin did nothing to stop them, and the hardliners were pushed out of the right to speak.
The moderates who advocated caution looked firmly at Landin, as if announcing victory.
“Master, this matter is by no means a trivial matter. “You must always make careful decisions.”
“Yes, after listening to what you guys said, I think it would be even better that way.”
“That’s right. So we will do our best to bring in all the resources available in Mexico.”
“You can pull more? “I don’t think your father will approve.”
“The future of the cartel depends on it. “If you help us a little, we will be able to receive additional support.”
“It looks like you have a detailed plan. Then let me help you.”
In that way, the agreement between Landin and his associates was completed.
Of course, some opinions were crushed, but the cartel was a place where people should not be offended by such things.
Also, now that serious criminal elves are rampaging, division also means death.
Cartel officials united and decided on their respective tasks.
And after all the planning was completed, Landin sent everyone away and tried to repeat that his choice would be right.
‘Antonella, I will definitely save you.’

‘Should I just openly reveal this information?’
Of course, while the cartel was acting cautiously, Nartica did not stay still.
While Kang Xian suspected that Landin’s tastes were in fact NTR, he ‘independently’ increased security personnel.
“There’s a lot of budget left anyway, so…” ….”
However, we did not receive additional manpower upon request from the head office.
The internal reinforcement was a re-utilization of the budget that had been spent diligently for 10 days but had no trace of being spent.
‘It’s like bringing in outsiders, but it’s still better than Nartica employees losing their lives.’
Kang Xian gave an order to the branch manager under the pretense of discussion.
It was none other than hiring Palaist Academy cadets as part-time workers and security guards.
“Yes? Academy cadets? “You want to use me as a security guard?”
“There’s nothing particularly bad about it, right? “If we create a good image, it will help to raise awareness of Nartica in the future.”
“I don’t think it will have any more effect than just raising awareness… ….”
“That could be possible. But who knows? There may be cadets who dream of joining Nartica.”
“That’s…… “Wouldn’t that be too few?”
What the branch manager said wasn’t particularly wrong.
Even if money was spent, there was a lot of room to judge that it was an event-related event from an Asian black beef company.
Kang Xian was not unaware of this, so he nodded.
“…… “We still have enough manpower, but is there any other reason for the increase?”
“This is the situation right now, right? “I’m getting more and more worried.”
“If you’re worried… ….”
“It’s because the cartel guys can’t even see their noses. “If they are properly prepared, we may be in a bit of danger.”
The meaning of dangerous here does not mean that it will be breached or robbed, but rather that there may be a large number of casualties.
The branch manager thought deeply and expressed that he, too, was concerned about such a situation.
“I’m sure it hasn’t been seen for over 10 days. It seems right to spread out the damage by at least increasing our own manpower. How many people are you planning to recruit?”
“In any case, due to the nature of Nartica’s corporate image, there will not be many people gathering. Let’s recruit about 50 people, but set 20 as our basic goal.”
“A certain number of Korean cadets will apply, so we will be able to raise enough money.”
Kang Xian succeeded in getting the branch manager to carry out his orders.
Soon, the branch manager gave instructions to the employees below to prepare a plan for part-time security work.
“If this were another company, I don’t think our company would be able to recruit.”
“The Chief Hunter judged and gave the order. If you follow, follow.”
“Ah, then, well, it will work out somehow.”
However, not everything went as they thought.
Exactly 12 hours after the recruitment notice was posted, the face of the employee selected to be in charge was devastated.
“Oh, crazy. What is this.”

<[Title] What the fuck is Nartica part-time job announcement?>
(Part-time job announcement screenshot photo)
It is a short-term part-time job at the Puerto Rico branch. Why is the treatment so good?
1 Million won per day for part-time work is an unheard of number.
(Anonymous 1) [Wow, what are you crazy?]
(Anonymous 2) [You said you were going overseas into the B2C field, but are you really planning to raise awareness?]
(Anonymous 3) [I’m not even doing anything haha… ….]
(Anonymous 4) [(Roughly speaking, it is called domestic demand discrimination)]
(Anonymous 5) [The cost of the potion you bought will all go into the stomachs of the academy cadets…….]
┗ (Anonymous 6) [Information: Nartica has been making a significant amount of money through the B2B sector since 2052.]
(Anonymous 7) [If you hear the rumor about this, it sounds a bit sinister. I don’t think it’s a good or comfortable part-time job.]
┗ (Anonymous 8) [Correct. I heard they are recruiting to increase the number of meat shields.]
┗ (Anonymous 9) [Wasn’t it an attempt to control the scene rather than a meat shield? As far as I know, though.]
<[Title] Wow fucking part-time job selection hahaha>
(Email informing you that you were selected for a part-time job at Nartica)
Kyahahahaha this is cadet life hahahaha
I was already short of living expenses due to the guild’s bankruptcy, but it worked out really well.
(Anonymous 1) [I applied as soon as the announcement was made, but I still haven’t heard anything.]
(Anonymous 2) [I heard there are a lot of applicants for this, right?]
┗ (Anonymous 4) [It’s not a lot, but it’s starting to explode.]
┗ (Anonymous 5) [Now that the rumor has spread to the overseas academy community, it has become a mess.]
┗ (Anonymous 2) [If you look at the precautions, it seems like something bad could happen to a part-time worker;;; Is this something that deserves that much attention?]
┗ (Anonymous 7) [That’s because all part-time jobs within Arecibo have been cut off due to the recession in the hunter industry.]
┗ (Anonymous 2) [Ah… ….]
(Anonymous 3) [There were so many people that I couldn’t even access the site. How on earth did I apply?]
(Anonymous 6) [Can you please increase the number of people recruited?]
(Anonymous 7) [I will at least help you wash Chairman Cheon’s feet. Nartica officials, if you see this, please increase the number of people recruited…….]
<[Title] Don't you know that Nartica was terrorized in Puerto Rico?>
(Picture of a green frog throwing a punch)
Don’t you know how many times I’ve made a fuss about that???
To begin with, part-time work means risking your life.
A hunter’s life is such that she can die while working a part-time job ㅇㅇ
And this part-time job is an opportunity to easily and quickly earn money equivalent to the value of our lives.
Honestly, the current situation is such that there may not be additional terrorist attacks in the future.
It seems like a bit of an asshole to hear people say things like, “This is going to happen,” And “Don’t apply.”
(Anonymous 1) [Hunter’s life?]
(Anonymous 2) [The Palaist Academy cadets are not idiots.]
(Anonymous 3) [I wonder if foreign cadets would go this far in applying without knowing this haha]
(Anonymous 4) [If you are a kid who is not struggling with living expenses, you should at least give him some advice.]
(Anonymous 5) [Anyway, if I do this part-time, will I get extra points during the Nartica recruitment process?]
┗ (Anonymous 9) [It’s not an intern, it’s a part-time job overseas…… Is there any way to give it to you?;;;]
(Anonymous 6) [It’s tight because it’s exam period, but they still give a lot of money. It seems like the risk is worth taking.]
(Anonymous 7) [Seriously, the kid who came up with this plan seems to be doing well. They are offering something like this in this recession.]
┗ (Anonymous 8) [(Roughly speaking, Nartica Chairman Chun is smiling)]

It was a time when the Palaistra Academy community was in full swing due to the Nartica part-time job recruitment.
While numerous cadets were pouring water and praying, a cartel continued its cautious stance without any measures.
“Well, they’re holding an event like this.”
From Noble mtl dot com
“They say additional people have arrived from Mexico!”
“Honestly, at this level, isn’t there a way to rescue the kidnapper through threats after the attack?”
“Oh, we have additional information from the buyer!”
The good news for them was that it was not completely meaningless.
As a result of the cautious theory, a certain amount of information was collected.
Information like sweet rain in a dry sky.
Landin scratched his head as he looked at the information gathered as fast as the United States Postal Service’s delivery speeds.
“…… So what do you want to say with this report?”
“If you want to attack Nartica and the elf rapist, you must attack during dinner time.”
“Dinner time… ….”
“The reason is stated in the report, but it is because there are currently too many visitors to the Nartica branch.”
The Puerto Rico branch of Nartica is experiencing a meltdown both offline and online.
So, the only time the cartel could break in was around dinnertime.
“I don’t understand. Anyway, isn’t early morning a little better than dinner time?”
“It would have been so if a normal event had been going on. But now Nartica is running events 24 hours a day. We are even running additional special events during evening, early morning, and morning hours.”
Because it is daytime, there are a lot of people.
There are many people in the evening, dawn, and morning due to additional events.
Therefore, the time when there were few crowds was the dinner time when everyone was off to eat.
Of course, even this crowd was only relative and could never be said to be small.
“Damn it. However, if you try to force a breach through a different time zone, it’s a problem because the bribed police don’t seem to be able to handle it…….”
At least this was the next best option.
There was no better time frame than this to show Nartica what to do.
That is the case for now.
In other words, it also meant that many opportunities were lost while wasting time with caution.
“Tsk…… “Anyway, I’m asking just in case, has there been any new news about Antonella?”
“Of course there is. “To be precise, we were able to roughly pinpoint Antonella’s location.”
“Oh, really? How did you specify it?”
“There was a whistleblower within Nartica. “He obediently told me this in exchange for a large sum of money.”
I didn’t need to say that I sensed something suspicious from the whistleblower.
On the other hand, Landin also did not necessarily doubt whether the information was true.
It was because I had done enough to doubt and persevere.
Because of this, his assistant turned on the map app and quickly pointed out the point of confinement.
“…… “Isn’t this the Puerto Rico branch of Nartica?”
“To be exact, there is a basement in the branch building, and it is said that he is confined there.”
“…… ?”
“There is a rumor that a woman’s screams are often heard from the corner of the first floor of the branch building…… “This is almost presumed to be true.”
“Ha.”
At this time, Landin felt genuine disgust.
How can a person commit a criminal act so confidently?
‘This crazy elf doesn’t even feel shame?’
In fact, the terrorism they committed was not much different.
Anyway, the fact that his girlfriend was experiencing something bad was hateful to Landin.
The image of my childhood friend and lover screaming seemed to come to mind.
Even the thought of such a thought was painful for Landin.
His hands were shaking, his lips were clenched, and his gaze was lost.
Because basic information was already secured, the spirit of caution was quickly diluted.
“…… I can’t wait any longer. “The preparations are probably over anyway, so I have to deal with it right away.”
“Yes?”
“Summon the executives immediately. “I think I need to show these guys an example.”
The final decision.
Landin decided that there was no need to be more cautious than this.
‘If we delay any longer than this, we may not even have a chance to have dinner…… ‘I need to move quickly.’
Now there is only one thing left to do.
One of Nartica and the Cartel completely lost influence in Arecibo.
Two days passed like that.
The day has finally arrived.
