Liam got up and booted the interface. He turned off the privacy setting and yed
the audio recording and footage of the day that Hector sought him out.
...
"Hey, you. Yeah, you! Get over here," Hector spoke first. Then, Liam turned
around and saw him, who looked a little impatient.
"Are you talking to me?" Now, it was Liam''s voice.
"Yeah, you. The one who''s dilly-dallying." Hector frowned and waved at Liam.
"Get over here. I have something to tell you."
"What is it, Mr. Khielson?" Liam asked as he slowly approached Hector.
"I need you to do something for me. If you pull it off, ten middle-ss Astral Ambers will be yours," Hector said, lowering his voice.
"Okay, Mr. Khielson. Lay it on me." Liam immediately nodded with a thrill when he heard about the reward.
"The pure-human female ising over to calm males. From what I heard, she managed to calm an S-grade male, even if she is just an F-grade. She actually had the gall to say that she wanted to livestream the process.
"If memory serves me right, you''re in charge of the berserk males below ground. Is that right? I want you to find an S-grade male who''s on the cusp of making a breakthrough to SS-grade.
"Then, you''ll stop his supply of sedatives and inhibitors. Let''s see if the pure- human female lives up to her impressive reputation and calms males regardless of the grade!" Hector said scornfully.
"U-Um......." Liam faltered. "That''s not a good idea, Mr. Khielson. What if she couldn''t calm the S-grade male? It''s going to be a disaster if he goes berserk!
"The containment facility is built in an old neighborhood, and the residents around itck effective means to protect themselves. I can''t bear the consequences if something terrible happens!"
Liam took steps back and put some distance between him and Hector when he heard what thetter said.
"Are you an idiot or something? Vera is SS-grade, and she can effortlessly calm a berserk male who had just made a breakthrough to SS-grade." Hector rolled his eyes at Liam.
"What if..." Liam felt a little conflicted.
"To hell with your what-ifs!" Hector''s patience grew thin. "If you won''t do it, plenty of others are more than happy to take your ce. Ten middle-ss Astral Ambers. Make up your mind."
He pulled out a pouch from the pocket drive and gave it a little shake in his hands, barely revealing the Astral Ambers in it.
Liam focused his gaze on the ambers in Hector''s hands. Things became quiet for a while. Then, he nodded and agreed to it.
...
The audio recording and footage in the interface came to an end.
"Just how clueless can you be? How could you let someone record the entire conversation?" Analise
scoffed and snickered as she fixed
scoffed
her gaze on Hector, whose face reddened.
"I have both the evidence and the witness. What more do you have to say for yourself?" Scott shot Hector a look before he slowly walked toward thetter.
"I-I just couldn''t stand how full of it she was. I had no idea that she was actually that good.
"Also, no one got hurt at the end of the day, and it''s not like we suffered any loss," Hector grumbled meekly when he saw how intimidating Scott was.
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Scott chided. "Do you know the kind of disaster that could''ve happened if Ana hadn''t calmed Derek in time?
"The females would''ve been hurt badly, and the containment facility would''ve been thrown into a state of disarray! The residents on the street would be dragged into it as well!
"Do you have any idea how much it would cost to treat the injured, repair the facility, and rebuild the neighborhood?"
Scott took one menacing step after another toward Hector and asked frigidly, "So, tell me. Would we have suffered losses?"
"H-How would I have known that things would..." Hector tried to defend himself, lowering his head.
But he was interrupted abruptly.
