Chapter 66 - Shadow Moon VII (1/2)
Sheila looks at Arc, She wasn't very surprised when she learns Arc knows what is really behind the war. If she really thinks it over, it's not that surprising if there's a superpower in space behind Grand Trading Corp. What she was surprised about is that GFA didn't tell her about the real background of this brat, in other words, those behind him don't want to be revealed either.
In fact, Arc didn't know anything. The first time HFA declared war he was already suspicious but when most of the human superpower joins in he was certain that the war is not just about revenge or showing force for those superpowers to be willing to spend resources they must have been expected something more than satisfaction on being to give revenge on the fallen heroes. They must be expecting a more tangible reward. Of course, whatever that is Arc has no idea, but he won't say it out loud of course...
Lisa was also surprised as a confidant of an Admiral she also knows about a few things, but she was surprised that Arc also knows about it as well. for it was a very top secret that only top people know…
Sheila smiles and said, ”look like we really underestimated you I guess we're in the wrong this time I can't decide on this right away it's over my paycheck, but what about the second demand?”
”Nope, not going to happen, if you want more you have to pay more that's the rule of business,” said Arc smiling back at her.
”What a greedy child haha” Sheila laughs!
”So how much exactly do you know about this war?” Ask Sheila with a probing tone?
”Aren't we doing this for justice? Hahaha,” said Arc.
”But Brat you better not tell anyone what you know.” Said Sheila seriously.
”I don't know what you're talking about Ms. Sheila I'm just a simple businessman.” Said Arc smiling mischievously.
”Right and I'm just a simple Auntie,” said Sheila shaking her head
”Looks like that Joseph failure is not without reason after all,” said, Sheila
”Nah, that guy is not suitable as a liaison or a representative all he knows is boasting. I guess if I'm a normal businessman I might have to succ.u.mb to his stupid boasting.” Said Arc shrugging his shoulder clearly he didn't care about Joseph.
”Sneeze! Who talking about me? It must be a beautiful girl hahaha,” said Joseph in his mind while busy working in some kind of office.
”Joseph stop daydreaming and get back to work you lazy ass”
”Yes, sir” replied Joseph.
........
Sheila stands up and makes some phone calls.
Arc didn't have to wait for long, only 30 minutes later Sheila was back, she put her communication on 3d projector mode and an elderly looking man appeared.
”I'm Commander Markos Deacon, I heard of your demand it's a little too much but it is still within our limit, but I want the contract last until the war is over.” Said Markos in the projector
”Commander you must be joking we don't know how long this war will last we can't keep slaving for GFA indefinitely.” Said Arc.
”Oh but your contract with HFA last until the war is over,” said Markos
”Well, that's different for one the demand of HFA is not much and second, we need a foothold in space that only they can give at that moment.” Said Arc.
”So, in other words, we have nothing that you want is that right?” said Markos raises an eyebrow
”Well, commander what do you think we need from GFA that Liberty can't provide?” Ask Arc with a slight smile.
