Chapter 343
Bisabeol was a man who honored his bargains with absolute certainty.
“I had a pleasant dream last night.”
“…A dream, sir?”
“In truth, it probably wasn’t a dream, but wouldn’t it be acceptable to call it one?”
“I cannot begin to understand what you mean.”
“Your skill at pretending not to know despite understanding everything is exquisite. I dearly like that attitude in our employees.”
“Thank you, Guild Master.”
“Then summon them at once.”
The previous night, he had made a bargain with a Garden on two legs. And bargains with Mystery were supposed to be thorough.
“Let us gather our diligent employees.”
Whether the being’s essence was closer to “George” or to “Gio’s Portrait” remained unknown.
What mattered, however, was that this bargain had stirred Bisabeol’s heart. He displayed an exceedingly proactive attitude toward ensuring its success. It was rather entertaining.
The chief secretary bowed slightly and asked,
“…Please specify the scope, Guild Master.”
“I do not engage in trivial affairs. Do you understand what I am saying?”
“I will interpret and execute it as Code Two.”
“I hope it is not too late.”
Code Two meant mobilizing every available employee except the minimum personnel necessary to keep the company operational. That included the office staff.
