Chapter 69 : I'll Go With This One
Bel Hackerson was a high-level technician.
He was well-versed in design and development, and he had a high level of understanding and application skills, enough to fix any defects found in any complex machine on the spot.
The fact that he had become the head of a company's chief development team at a young age and had gained a reputation as a rising star in the industry was also because of such innate talent.
Although he had been kicked out broke, he was confident that he could produce results that were more than the money provided wherever he went.
It was a confidence guaranteed by performance, not by bluff or recklessness.

...But even for him, the ignorance of a contract killer was beyond his imagination.
"Damn it! I'm!"

Thump! Thump!
"Not the kind of! Manpower! To do! This kind of! Chore!"
Whack! Whack!
Bel's mouth didn't rest.
Ёn ū m̀а̄
It was while he was pulling out the weeds that had taken root near the crops.
Even as he sweated profusely from the hard labor and groaned from his aching back, the sound of his grumbling never ceased.
When he was panting and catching his breath, he looked back resentfully.
Allen was enjoying his leisure, sitting comfortably in a rocking chair he had brought from somewhere and reading a newspaper.

"I told you I'd make anything if you just prepared the materials! Why the hell are you making me do this kind of work!"
Although Bel was an engineer, he had no connection with the hard physical labor of the field.
Ẽnum̌а̂
If he gave an order, his assistant would do the work, and he would only touch the parts that were not to his liking.
Working under the scorching sun, hot as it was, was the worst experience.
Simple labor that did not utilize his own talent was more terrible than he had imagined.
"I'm! Done!"
But the end was bound to come.
Bel, who had finally stuffed the last weed into a sack, shouted in triumph.

What followed was the employer's on-site inspection.
"Well, this is good enough."
Bel was stung by Allen's evaluation, which he had uttered after a cursory glance as he sauntered over.
Unfortunately, the one holding the knife was the other side.
If he kicked him out now, Bel would be kidnapped, imprisoned, and forced to work by Delight Conquem.
'Huh? It's not much different from now, is it?'
Wе bn_ov̇ ē l Е_ń_u mа
Such a question came to mind for a moment, but there was a decisive difference.
The top of his head, where the scorching sun was beating down directly without any shade, was stinging.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
It was because he had been pestered by Delight Conquem to do marketable research.
He couldn't handle it if his head became any more bald.
"Then it's time to start pruning that section over there."
"Pruning... what?"
Е́ n um̄а
"Pruning. Since you have no skills, I won't ask you to do anything difficult. I've already shaped them, so you just have to cut the dead branches and leaves first."
At some point, there were scissors in his hand.
They were well-managed, sharp, blue scissors.
Bel was dumbfounded.

"No, why am I doing this?"
The question he had been holding back until now popped out of his mouth without him realizing it.
Wё b ǹ о̊v е̊ l Е̇ ñu m̆а̄
If it were productive labor, he would at least feel a sense of accomplishment.
This was just torture.
"Farming is a strange hobby, but what's the point of doing this?"
What was involved in the growth of plants was the technology and know-how of large corporations, including fertilizers.
When Bel sent a gaze mixed with genuine curiosity rather than anger.
"The plants grow well."

Allen's tone was as if Bel's question was absurd.
"Aren't they going to melt and dissolve while they're growing anyway? What's the difference between this and praying?"
"Can't you tell by looking?"
"...It's a little different. I admit it."
Bel knew how to admit what he had to admit.
The plants Allen had grown were different.
È n ú m а́
The color of the leaves was a fresh green, full of life, and the flowers and fruits gave off a rich fragrance.
"Is this the effect of the torture you ordered?"

"Torture? It's a scientific management method."
At the look of pity, Bel was confused.
No, it was strange that such a clear difference occurred with such simple labor.
Didn't this mean that the technology development departments of large corporations were a den of scammers?
Wê b̆ n̂ оv̈еl Ě n̂ū ḿа̀
When he calculated it with common sense.
'He must have used some special method.'
He was a strange person who had a plant stuck in his arm instead of a machine.
There must be a secret.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
'Would such a thing be the secret?'
The temptation of money was like a drug to a contract killer who moved for money.

If it were true, he would have already started a big business and made a fortune.
The fact that he hadn't meant that it was a feat that could never be achieved with such miscellaneous work.
"Anyway, I'm not doing it! I can't do it anymore!"
Bel lay down flat on his back.
He was tired.
Both his mind and body were at their limit.

Because he only wanted to do what he wanted to do, he had secretly developed an android, been discovered, and had even run away.
If he had done this much of what he didn't want to do, he had done his best in his own evaluation.
"Get up."
Of course, it was a situation that others would not understand.
As Allen poked his side, Bel flailed his arms and legs.
"Ah, I can't! Just give me something else to do! Others are dying to have me work for them, but why the hell are you only making me do this kind of thing?"
Еn̆û m̂ a.. і̌d́
"...Okay, then tell me what you can do."
As if his appearance, like that of an overturned bug, was quite unsightly, Allen took a step back.

Although it was a victory that left only scars, a victory was a victory.
Bel finally answered cheerfully.
"Design, development, repair, modification."
"I don't need it."
Ě n um а̊_. і d
"..."
It was a firm answer that left no room for argument.
As he opened and closed his mouth, Allen asked with a sigh, "Then can you do housework? Things like cooking, washing dishes, grocery shopping, cleaning."
"No."

"...Then what can you do? Aren't you no different from a freeloader?"
"I can do everything else!"
W̃е̇b n̂о̃v̄ ē ľ Е̄ n̆ů m̈ а̇
The reality of being condemned like this was unfair.
Bel, a top technician recognized in the industry, felt like he was about to cry at the merciless devaluation.
"I have no choice."
"Whoa!"
Bel, startled as his body floated into the air, had a fit.
A stem that had extended from the floor was lifting him up.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
"I'm not a philanthropist."
Cold eyes, as if about to make a decision at any moment.
"Get out."
The wriggling stem tried to push him out of the fence.
Bel clung to a pillar and shouted with all his might, "I-I'll do it! I'll do it!"
It was a fight that was decided from the beginning.
Е n.ū m а́ .і̃ d
The subdued Bel fell to the ground and cried his heart out.
"It's my fate, to be saved by such an ignorant bastard!"

"The sun will set soon. There's no dinner until you're done, so if you slack off, it's your loss."
"You devilish bastard! And when are you going to work!"
It had already been three days since he had come here.
During that time, Bel had never seen Allen work properly.
Ẁ ё b n̄ o v̀е̃ľ Е̇ń úm а
He had said he understood after hearing the request.
He suspected that he had just said that to make him work like this.
"I'm working."
"Where do you see that!"

Vroom!
A vibration came from Allen's pocket.
Ẃ ēbnоṽ еl Еńu m̊a
"A call just came in."
He held up his phone and shook it.
The name of the broker, Cromwell, was displayed on the screen.

"This is the information on Delight Conquem that you requested. Jack worked hard on it."
I received the documents from Cromwell.

It was a report that detailed the latest trends of Delight Conquem.
"As I recommended to you before, it's a company that has been growing rapidly recently. Madhouse has even made a move, so their credit and fundraising ability are also excellent."
It was a story I had heard in passing when I had received the request to subdue the Race Lizard gang in District 16 of Sylvester.
"However, even such a successful company is stumbling badly after failing in a big gamble."
Cromwell pointed to a part of the document.
The recent performance, which was an unofficial announcement, was drawing a downward graph.

"It's because of the city government's request that you succeeded in. They were aiming for a conversion to a military company by betting on the outbreak of war."
"It seems quite a few companies have been hit hard."

"The stories I've been hearing among entrepreneurs recently are unusual. They say a string of bankruptcies is scheduled."
The aftermath of the opposite situation seemed to be as great as the transformation after the outbreak of the previous war.
However, the big difference was that the former was the development of Centrim, while the latter was the advance of Sylvester.
"Anyway, as you mentioned, the internal situation of Delight Conquem is a mess. The key development personnel have escaped, and they've released the hounds to chase after them. This area will be busy for a while."
Е ňu m а̊.і d̀
"Hounds... how long do you think it will last?"
The key personnel that the company was chasing were working at my house.
First of all, losing the unpaid, diligent, all-purpose part-timer that the guy had offered as a reward was a problem.
Furthermore, if they ransacked my house in the name of catching the guy, that was an even bigger problem.

"Well, I haven't heard any good news, and since they've diverted their internal security personnel, they won't be able to maintain it for long. A week at the longest."
A week.
W ëb̂n о̂_v̂ e l Ѐ n̈ um̀а
It was a short time if it was short, and a long time if it was long.
"That's strange. The key development personnel have escaped, but they're only obsessed with it to that extent?"
"Their situation is not good, so what can they do? Bankruptcy is just around the corner, so they have no choice but to give up their lingering attachment quickly."
Is the situation that bad?
From the collapse of the future company that would have been successful through a business agreement with Centrim, I realized the ripple effect of the results I had brought about.
"...Of course, the story I heard from an insider was different."
Baca cerita ini hanya di situs resmi Enuma.id!
Of course.
Cromwell smiled as if it were a reversal and lowered his voice.
"They said they were going to make an interesting item with the various materials that the key technician had left behind."
"An interesting item?"
"A complete android."
I stopped my fingers that were tapping on the bar table.

"If they succeed, it's a great research that will overcome the crisis of bankruptcy and even re-evaluate the company's value in the stock market. Many companies that have already heard the story are trying to get a foot in the door."
Cromwell handed me several more documents.

"Or they're aiming for this."
A private request.
Although the clients were different, the contents were similar.
Steal the blueprint, seize the machine if it exists, and in the worst case, destroy it by collapsing the laboratory.

'It wasn't an empty story.'
He had said it would be a loss even if he added the price of his life and the reward for the request.
An objective evaluation was right in front of my eyes.
If it had become such a hot potato in the industry, it was the truth as it was.

'This is troublesome.'
I thought it was a treasure that only I knew about.
W̃ ê b̊ n̂о̀v é l Ĕṅ u m̂.ä
But when I opened it, it was a famous restaurant.
It became impossible to steal it secretly.
Even if I protected Bel safely, if I couldn't recover the reward, it was a huge loss of an investment.
"I hear that Nano Bio Company is also aiming for a show of force after a long time."
Nano Bio Company, a medical company founded mainly by alchemists.
Although it was still at a crude level, it was a leader in the industry that had succeeded in developing the first-generation nano-medical devices.

'That side's research is mainly focused on biological experiments, so they'd be crazy about androids.'
Although it was a quiet place that didn't cause any major accidents due to the unique gloominess of alchemists, a large corporation was a large corporation.
The weak Delight Conquem, which had failed in its conversion to a military company, did not have the capacity to handle it.
"Likewise, Centrim is also aiming to participate."
They were guys who never missed a famous feast.
There were already two megacorps that had drawn their swords.
W ёb̈ n̊ o v̄еl Е̃n̊ ù m̀а̀
It didn't seem like there was any time to spare.
"The situation is unusual, so if I'm going to take a request, I have to decide quickly."
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
"But you don't have to decide in a hurry."

"It seems Delight Conquem has also bet its life on it. They've hired Madhouse again. It must be a connection they made from a previous request."
"...It's going to be a bloodbath."
Ẃе_b̄n̂о̊ v̇еl̈ Enǔ_m̆ӑ
Even the top mercenary group, Madhouse.
A small breeze caused by a single technician who had run away after embezzlement, breach of trust, and sabotage had now become a typhoon.
"Rather, you should be careful. They're not easy opponents."
This meant that the riffraff couldn't even dare to try.

The reward would naturally be high.
The difficulty also rose exponentially.
W̄е bn̄ о.v̆ el En̊ ŭ m ӓ
'It's not something to get involved in just because I'm greedy for one slave.'
For now, it was fifty-fifty.
Although I was greedy, should I really take the risk?
If it was a worker, even if I wasn't satisfied, if I just kept Bel...
"Since it's a matter you've shown direct interest in, take a good look at it first. The conditions aren't bad. Since a designated request has also come in regarding it, you just have to pick one."
"A designated request?"

Just then, the phone rang.
After checking the message, I was able to decide.
"I'll go with this one."
A designated request form.
The client was Sylvester.
[There's a request that has been designated for you, so take a look if you're interested.]

The sender of the text message was Claire Sylvester.
