Episode 31

"How about it Mr. Mies, was it enough to satisfy your needs?..". (Lee Han Na)

She asked me as we both walk out of a large warehouse in her private secret compound.

"Yes indeed, looks like choosing you and Krawoski is the best choice…I'm gonna be paying all of this in gold...I also need you and Krawoski to turn my gold into cash can you do that?…".

"We can do that, how many are we talking about here?..". (Lee Han Na)

Paying in gold wasn't a rare thing in this field of business.

"About 2 billion worth of gold…just deduct the cost of everything here from that and transfer the remaining amount to this account..".

"...Of course, consider it settle…you can expect the remaining amount will be transferred to the account in 5 days from now…". (Lee Han Na)

Hearing the sheer amount of gold I'm telling her to handle made her perplex a little bit, but slowly smiles creep back on her lips, it's rare to find a large transaction with instant payments, besides a customer that doesn't complain or negotiate prices were hard to find especially when the price of our trading was over a hundred million dollars.

"I will leave the gold inside the empty warehouse before I leave with the product…please tell your man to wait outside the compound…after I'm done I will call for them…".

"as you like, but how will you handle all of this product?…with only the 2 of you?..". (Lee Han Na)

Every normal person would question the same thing after seeing the sheer amount of vehicles, machinery, and products in this compound.

"Miss…everyone have a secret, it's better to not questions about it too much…".

I gave her a smile, which means 'stop asking or else' she replied with a smile and walk away from me and enter her car, before leaving the compound with her entourage.

"That's mean Sai,…..but damn, She and the Krawoski kid really do have a solid connection…she even gets you a helicopter and tanks...but, is it true you got 1 billion worth of golds??…". (Ken)

Nudging at my arm, Ken's eyes sparkle waiting for my answer.

"uhuh….stop messing around and start working, have all the vehicles park in 300-meter radius..just park them close together…".

"Yeah~ Yeah~…".(Ken)

Ken starts to move all the vehicles and park them closer to each other.

This time my purchase was even bigger than anything I've ever order. In the compound now, I got 10 M939 5 Ton military truck, 2 ZTQ-15 Light Tank, 2 Bateleur MLRS, 15 Redshift MX Electric Dirt Bike, 2 helicopters,2 Cobham APC, 1 Griffon 2000td hovercraft, 5 HMMWV. As for the weapon, I got 1000 M4 Carbine rifle, 1000 Ak47 rifle, Various type of explosive, 100 RPG-7, all these weapons were supplied with ammo enough for 6 months of heavy use, I also bought full military gears (Bags, Body armor, etc.) enough for 1000 people to use.

I also include the Rice polishing machine and Wheat mill machine, 500 tons of unpolished rice and wheat, foods supplies (Spices, Sugar and salt), canned foods, Stationery items, clothes articles, hygiene products, 2 radio tower with full radio broadcasting system, 20 photocopier machine, 200 sets of PC, laptops, and tablets. I also ordered some household electrical products, 300 solar panels, 30 wind-powered turbines along with industrial level battery enough to power a medium-sized town (80% will be installed in I.S.O.A, 20% will be used on the new store and converted into portable energy).

That's why I was honestly impressed by Lee Han Na and Derek Krawoski capabilities to acquired a wide range of products. The common item mostly comes from, Korea and China, while the military products come from China and Europe.

I should start looking for a fixed supplier for my common items. I guess I should ask Catherine to fix that for me, having these weapon dealers looks for groceries wasn't really a good idea, they charge way too high. Anyway, the good thing I got from these transactions was I was able to secure resources for my I.S.O.A for at least 2 years.

"Sai~ it's done~~..woah..that's a heck load of gold…". (Ken)

As soon as he was done arranging the vehicles, Ken looks for me inside one of the warehouses, the mountain of gold bar greet him, made him stumble.

"It's about 1 billion worth….here you go…".

I gave him one gold bar for his work, Ken took it and put it in his pocket.

"Thanks…where's the other stuff??…Oh yeah, I forgot you have that ring…so now what?…am I going back by myself?…". (Ken)

"Yes…just come back in the morning to pick me up…Ken, stop posting useless stuff on my Gram account…".

I need to bring all this stuff with me today since I can bring everything with me in a 300-meter radius, it makes all this easier.

"I try not to..but hey I act as your manager, I can't help it if your fan demand it…". (Ken)

He does tell me something about a travel post or something, but I just hope this won't blow up in my face. Ken leave the compound by himself using our rent car leaving me alone inside the compound, I lock the warehouse before standing in the middle of various vehicles.

"T.A.S…as usual, let's go…".

[Understood Sir,…Initiating World Travel in 3..2…1..]. (T.A.S)

Same as before, I disappeared from Earth and magically appeared in Fantasma, the locations which I appeared was an empty field behind the keep, right outside the wall. I planned the place to be made as our farm and field since Elijah cancels the plan, the place has been left barren since all the vegetation and trees have been cleared. Heading to the wall, I saw someone on top of the watchtower and wave at them, they do notice me in just a few minute's 2 Private already running towards me.

I told them to inform the Resource Department to move all the vehicles and all the stuff I brought with me to the warehouse. After 3 hours, the only things left on the field were the helicopters, tanks, and the long-range missile truck, it was a piece of complicated machinery for someone without training to operate them. The field was pretty flat beside it wasn't that far from the wall, I just told them to leave it there after covering it with a tarp.

"Welcome home Sir..". (Elijah)

As always Elijah greets me as I entered the Keep, replied with my normal greeting which is a peck to a forehead, we move to my office.

"Is everything okay while I was gone?..".

It's been 1 week since I left, surely there's an

"Yes sir, all project moving along just fine…Department of defense just finished their assault on the 12th Bandits band…They only have a few cases of light injuries, the problem was, we now have a new influx of slaves who chose to stay after being saved..". (Elijah)

Picking up the report from piles of folders on my desk, Elijah showed me the full report of the operations.

"Well that's fine..just do the usual, scan them and educate them..make sure they follow the rules…after they understood, then, have all the department to recruit them into their workforce..".

They did an outstanding job even without me, Killing over 1300 bandits, amass loots over 500 Platinum coins and 900 million gold coins, 5000 tons of gold trinkets (already melted into bars), 1000 platinum coins worth of magic-related items. This bandit was even richer than any nobles in this land, according to this report, the saved slaves have accumulated to 290 people, minus the 210 that chooses to leave and return to their home. I already instructed that every time there's rescued captives they have to be brought back to I.S.O.A to be treated and documented before they were given choices whether to stay or leave on their own.

"Also I will leave again tomorrow, empty all the supply in the ring and have them filled with the gold bar…in here there's an instruction on how to use all the new machinery, I want all related department to know how to handle them by the end of this week…also divide the electronic devices evenly to all department, also the generals and Major can each take on for their own….Here's yours….I choose them myself…".

I noticed that Elijah love light purple color, I bought a light purple laptop for her back in Korea yesterday.

"Thank you, sir,….".

Although she only shows the left side of her face, the blushes and reddened cheeks show that she was one of the beautiful women I have ever seen.

"you welcome…I'm gonna go visit the 2 brothers, where are they?..".

Elijah called her Assistant Selie to guide me, according to Selie both of the brothers already starts working. Although at first, they seem wary, afraid that someone will attack them or abused them but after a few days, the 2 starts to assimilate quite easily as their new workplace prioritizes works performance rather than racial discrimination.

"Mr. Bar is currently working with the Department of Health as a pharmacist, he's quite skilled…though he has an uncontrollable drive for researching possible combinations of magical medicine and our medicine…he tends to get in trouble with Doctor Elena….as or Mr.Bob he's currently working with our maintenance team at the department of Resource..should I tell their chief to let him come meet us here?". (Cpt. Selie)

"Okay radio them…..Elena is an uptight lady, especially when it comes to money spending…..right..".

"Hehe..that's true….he's In here sir,..<Knock! Knock!>….Mr. Bar, his Excellency Mr. Presidents is here....". (Cpt. Selie)

Upon entering the Hospital, Selie leads me to the end of the ground floor where a research room was, as we entered Bar was there sitting on a high stool plastering his eyes on the microscope, as Selie spoke he looks towards us, stop what's he doing and tidy himself before bowing and salute to me as my soldier did.

"Mr. President…it's an honor to meet you, I planned to meet you before, but the Madam Maidens refuse my request…please forgive this lowly goblin for not thanking your kindness much sooner…". (Bar)

"Like the Maidens, your thanks weren't needed...I did it because I want it,…so what do you think about this little nation of mine?..is it good?..".

"Just like it's vision…Aeternum was the real safe haven unlike the other who only claim to be…everyone here was nice and caring, I was honestly shocked that no one attacked me and my brother when we go out to buy bread for the first time….". (Bar)

Unlike the before this old Goblin starts to become more opened and cheerful as we dived into the conversations.

<Knock! Knock!>

"Madam Captain…I was told to come here….Bro?..what's going on?..". (Bob)

Bob finally appeared as he was standing on the door and peer in to and saw his brother was sitting before me.

"Come in Bob, This is Mr.President..he came to visit us..say your thanks..". (Bar)

"Thank you for saving me and my brother's life Mr. President..". (Bob)

"You welcome…now both of you it down…I got a big task for both of you… I need both of you to work on these topics…each of you can hire your own assistant and team for this project, all costs will be covered by the central government….in this ring, you can find all the research and the specific task I want you to complete…here take a look….".

Bob and Bar each took the dimensional ring in front of them and took out a folder and read them carefully.

"This…..is this even possible?…this is a groundbreaking discovery!..". (Bob)

Bar also in a state of awe as he skimmed through the folder.

"It is…I research them myself…I want both of you to do this as soon as possible, I want the result in 2 weeks…if you managed to get this done, I will personally reward both of you….".

As both of them still ecstatic by the content of the folder, I stood up and walk away.

"Don't worry Mr.President, we won't let you down!!..". (Bob & Bar)
