Chapter 225: A day in the life of (3)
"Boss, have you had time to read over the report on the new branch?"
"Boss, we need your input on the shipment for next week’s sale."
"Boss, the results of the investigation that you ordered are here."
It wasn’t easy being a boss, especially when we were expanding more and more.
With us taking in more and more businesses, that meant that we became busier and busier. After all, the more businesses that we took in meant that there were more and more things that we had to handle.
As the boss, it was only natural that I would be the one reviewing everything.
"Why did I have to be the one avatar that opened a business?" I couldn’t help thinking to myself seeing the stack of paperwork that was on my desk.
But in the end, it didn’t matter if I wanted to complain.
The only thing that I could do was buckle down and read through everything that was here.
If it wasn’t for the fact that I was much stronger than the average person because of the shared stats, then it would have been very hard for me to handle all of this work. But with the shared stats, I was able to go through these reports without a problem.
Once I was done...
"You could help you know."
Kasim who had been sitting on the side watching everything just looked at me with a smile as he said, "Well, you’re the boss and I’m nothing more than a driver."
I glared at him when he said this, but there wasn’t anything that I could say.
When I recruited this legendary assassin, one of the conditions that I gave was that he was free to do what he wanted.
If I didn’t give this condition, there was no telling if he would follow me or not.
So in the end, I changed the topic.
"Did you look into that matter that I told you about?"
When I asked this in a serious voice, Kasim sat up and revealed a serious look before saying with a nod, "I’ve already taken care of it. Those people that thought that they could slack off have already been trained and the same thing won’t happen again."
Since he said this in such a firm voice, I knew that this legendary assassin must have made his move.
In that case, I was assured that it had been settled.
But I still said, "We should watch out for things like this in the future. There’s no telling what they will try in the future if we allow them this freedom."
"Don’t worry, I’ve already scolded him about this and he’ll take it seriously from now on."
I couldn’t help feeling a bit sorry for the black auction house owner, but he was the one that was supposed to be managing things like this. If he wasn’t up for it, then we had to make sure that he would be more careful in the future.
This was just how it was in the daily life of a merchant.
...
"Let’s check out this store."
"No, this one seems more interesting."
"I want to pick up a few books from here."
Seeing the three high elf girls running around the street like this, I couldn’t help shaking my head with a wry smile.
The three of them didn’t hold back at all as we walked down the busy streets.
The reason that they were so excited was because this was a human city.
For the three of them that had only grown up around elves, they naturally never visited a human city like this before. That was why it was hard for them to hold back their excitement like this.
Still, they were creating a scene since they were elves.
Not to mention that they were beautiful high elf girls which really attracted attention.
If it wasn’t for the fact that there were human guards following us, taking care of everything from the shadows, things would have been far worse.
The reason that these human guards came with us was because we were guests in the Abel Kingdom right now.
It had been decided that we would work with the hero to deal with the demons, but the time for that wasn’t now. After all, the hero had many things that he had to deal with first before he could actually chase after demons.
At the same time, the Abel Kingdom needed time to investigate the demons.
As such, the only thing for us to do was remain in the capital of the Abel Kingdom until it was time to move against the demons.
That was why we were currently walking down the streets like this.
It was easy to see the sincerity that the Abel Kingdom had with the way that they treated us, but it also seemed like they saw us as nothing more than diplomatic tools. After all, they didn’t think that elves as young as us would be able to do much.
But it didn’t matter what they thought.
For now, the only thing that we could do was wait.
"What are you standing in a daze for?"
"Right, you’re supposed to be following us."
"Can you give me some money for this?"
The three high elf girls calling for me pulled me back to my senses and I went over to see what they wanted.
In the end, this was just how it was until we could work with the hero.
But even now, there were things that were brewing under the surface.
After all, we had a spy that was among the demons and this spy had a very high status.
The demon king himself was our spy, there really weren’t many people that could be a better spy.
According to what he had heard, it seemed like a chance would be coming soon.
So the only thing that we could do was wait and enjoy ourselves like this.
Though when it came to these girls...
