Chapter 313 - Yumis Investigation (1/2)
Yumi complained while she read the reports from her subordinates. She's currently in her office covered with paperwork. ;
She just finished her recent mission at the Stella Region and was expecting a long rest after this… Unfortunately, her discovery seemed to have alarmed the higher-ups. ;
”Hmph… They have plenty of time to meddle with their private affairs… They should've just helped and donate their excess money to Wallace…”
Yumi was referring to her superiors at the NMTI who seemed to be interested in the current situation of the Seed Holdings based at the Stella Region. ;
This has been her mission for quite some time now but due to the many events that have happened, it has been postponed many times before she managed to investigate everything…
Seed Holdings was the same company that mines and processes Memory Crystals before being distributed to the country. This is where Wallace's father, Chase Ravencroft was working…
Yumi then heard the sounds of footsteps nearing her office. She frowned for a moment before she continued busying herself. ;
Knock! Knock!
'Tsk…' ;
Yumi seems to be reluctant on meeting them but she can only resign to her fate. ;
After permitting them to enter, Yumi didn't have to see with her eyes and know that the people who visited her were the representatives of her superiors.
Three men in their thirties arrived and politely greeted Yumi who's currently showing her middle-aged lady's form.
”I've already sent my report… What more do you want?”
Yumi said exasperatedly. ;
”About that… We wanted to learn the method on how you managed to obtain this information… The Head wished to send another investigator…”
”What? They're not satisfied with it and want to confirm my report?”
Yumi felt some of her veins popping in anger… It wasn't easy for her to investigate such a large company guarded by a huge number of magicians. ;
It was extremely difficult for her to do it alone. She even had to ask for Avalon's help to assist her in bypassing their security…
If she was alone, it may have taken several more months before she learns the company's secret. ;
”I can't tell my method… Tell them that if they don't believe in my report then they can just dismiss it…”
”Urgh… Please don't make it difficult for us…”
”What? Don't make it difficult for me…” Yumi answered back as she really dislikes people who don't believe her even she was telling the truth…
”It's really an Ancient Arcane Technology that involves Memory Crystals as their medium… I've given the complete data… Although it can be very dangerous, I don't understand why those old men were acting like this…”
She grumbled at the representatives looking for their explanation.
”Sigh~”
”That Arcane… as you are aware of, is a groundbreaking technology… If See Holdings successfully created it, it would change the current balance of Magicians and Non-Magicians…”
”Huh? Wouldn't it be more helpful if even normal people could utilize Mana?”
Yumi asked probingly. She wanted to know her superior's stance about this.
