Chapter 61 CHAPTER 61: MONEY GRUBBER

"As for my second request, some people are going to resign from Imperium today…"

"... Make sure they don't see tomorrow," his cold voice came through the phone speaker she was holding, but she didn't stop writing.

*"Any special requests on the way they should die?" she asked after a slight pause.

"... Make it interesting," he replied with a wicked grin.

Davies had thought it through while he was back at the meeting room, he did not know who to kill to make as an example as to him they all looked the same.

He had picked Vincent in the first place because he was annoyed at the recruitment capabilities of that idiot… and well, now he's dead.

But when it came to the other Executive officials and the Managing Officers, he didn't have anything against them other than the fact that they used the period when he was thought to be dead to do as they pleased and if he was going to make an example based off of that, then they'd all be dead immediately, so he changed his thinking.

Since he didn't know who to pick, he'd let them pick by themselves… Unknowingly of course.

After the stunt that he had pulled and even though he had told them that they couldn't get away from him, he knew that some of them (the stupid ones) would still try to run away.

They could do it directly by resigning and then trying to get away after that, or they could just run off, and this was exactly what he was waiting for.

He'd make an example out of those that tried to escape to show those that hadn't made a move yet that they couldn't escape from his grasp… ever.

*"Interesting eh…?"

*"I do have quite a few interesting ideas to send people to the next world," Selina said with a giggle, but her giggle had no trace of innocence and left Davies wondering what sort of methods she was going to use to "Take care" of his soon to be former employees.

He said a silent prayer for those guys, but that didn't stop him from feeling a little anticipation.

"I will be awaiting your results," Davies said and was about to hang up,

*"WAIT!!!" Selina shouted.

"What is it now?" Davies asked, annoyed, as he didn't fancy someone shouting right into his ear.

*"...Payment," Selina said after a slight pause.

"Payment?" Davies asked as if it was the most absurd thing he had heard today.

*"Yes, pay me for the work,"

*"You're hiring killers from one of the best dark organizations and you expect not to pay?" Selina continued as if requesting how he could be so shameless.

"Wha-?"

"Tch… fine, what do you want?"Davies was about to make an argument but stopped himself in time as he didn't have the time, or the energy to waste debating with her.

*"..."

Davies was met with a long silence over the phone,

"Oh hell naw,"

"Nope, not going to happen," Davies began to protest as if he already knew what she was going to ask for.

*"Ten million Powerstone dollars," Selina said as if

"You money-grubber, you want to charge me ten million for killing a couple of normal humans!" Davies almost screamed into the phone in exasperation.

"You might as well just ask for a billion," he said with sarcasm.

"Ok, one billion it is," Selina replied shamelessly.

"You! … fine, just ask Lina for the money," Davies gave in with a sigh, he didn't really want to spend the rest of his morning arguing over prices with her, especially when he wasn't exactly lacking in money.

Davies hung up immediately after that before Selina could continue to stress him over something else.

Coincidentally he had arrived at the 139th floor at the same moment he hung up the call. The doors to the elevator slid open and he stepped out into the 139th floor.

The 139th floor looked like a huge white room with nothing but a holographic supercomputer that was placed smack dab in the middle of the room. Though the room looked empty, some compartments were set into the wall that had different types of tools and materials, and all Davies had to do was touch that section of the wall and the compartments would slide out automatically.

A white line of light began to run across Davies's body from the crown of his head to the sole of his feet. Davies waited patiently for the scanning to be complete because he knew that despite how harmless this room looked, the security here was top-notch, and it was capable of harming even a Mega like him should he be deemed a threat by the security system.

[Scanning Complete…]

[Searching Database…]

[Iris scan; Match]

[Heartbeat scan; Match]

[Biometric scan; Match]

[Identity; Davies Lake, confirmed] A robotic voice rang out and confirmed his identity after a number of checks.

After receiving confirmation from the security system that he was all clear, he moved towards the holographic supercomputer that stood in the middle of the room.

The holographic computer is another machine that was invented by Davies. He had taken inspiration from the many sci-fi series that he had watched and read about back in his original world.

It was shaped like a cuboid and had a crystalline surface. Its length was 2m, while its width and height were 1m respectively.

Davies ran his palm across the surface to start it up. Immediately a beeping sound was heard, and an almost silent whirr began to sound from inside the holographic computer as it started up and began booting.

Booting took only two seconds and a holographic screen opened up above the holographic computer.

Davies double-tapped his finger on a side of the supercomputer and a panel slid to the side showing a hidden space with ports for all kinds of drives. He opened his inventory, pulled out a drive, and connected and plugged it into one of the ports.
