Chapter 502 - The long awaited meeting (Part-1) (1/2)
Ryuu let out a yawn as he stretched his arms, the feeling of bones popping and muscles tensing and relaxing was refreshing for him, the last few days were hectic for him.
Just because the event had ended that did not mean that he was able to relax, there were much to do, from counting their profits, to check and make note of any unfortunate mistakes that should not be repeated again, but most importantly for Ryuu, it was to make a report detailing everything and sending one copy to next person normally in the chain of command and another to his eldest sister.
”Boss here is you tea.”
As the smell of tea entered Ryuu's nose a small smile blossomed on his face as he spoke, ”Thank you, Yu Wu.”
”Have you finished with your reports boss?”
Ryuu gave a nod as he spoke, ”Yes, and I have already sent them.”
”I see.”
”So, what have you decided to do with the bonus, store it or withdraw it now.”
”I would like to store it as I will be able to receive a Deva crystal within little over three and half years time instead of normal four years.”
Ryuu nodded at that as he spoke, ”I hope the rest of our employees have decided what they wish to do with their bonus.”
Yu Wu nodded as she spoke, ”Yes boss, a few of them are left to submit their forms and by tomorrow you will know how many wish to receive their bonuses now and how many wish to store them .”
Ryuu sipped from his cup while another floated towards Yamamoto, as Ryuu spoke, ”Fair enough.”
”So boss what will you do with yours?”
Ryuu sent a confused look towards Yu Wu as he spoke, ”My what?”
”Your bonus boss, after all you should also receive bonus as well.”
Ryuu let out a brief chuckle as he spoke, ”Oh about that I will receive none since I do not receive any payment as well.”
Yu Wu's eyes widen as she spoke with disbelief, ”You are working for free.”
Ryuu nodded as Yu Wu spoke again, ”But why? I know you once told me that you are here to learn with Senior Yamamoto acting as your guide and advisor, but even trainees get paid for their work.”
Ryuu gained a look of disinterest as he spoke, ”I see but I do not see why I need to get paid, I have no need for it.”
”But, what about resources for cultivation and since you are already at peak of your realm you would need to use Deva crystals so that you can advance easily by siphoning the energy from it, and advance faster.”
Ryuu looked at her as he spoke with a confused tone, ”You would siphon energy of a Deva crystal but why?”
Yu Wu gawked at him for a moment before her jaws tighten as she spoke, ”Boss I find your joke a bit distasteful.”
As Ryuu sent a confused look towards as Yamamoto spoke with a chuckle of his own, ”Junior Yu Wu there is no need to take offence about what Prince had said, and as his family is very well off as such he never had to resort to such methods nor does he need to earn to provide himself.”
”I see.”
Ryuu gave a sheepish smile as he spoke, ”Sorry if I offended you, because of my upbringing I might miss something that was common sense to others.”
As he spoke Ryuu inwardly wanted to kick himself, for a brief moment he had forgotten that their 'currency' had other purposes for cultivators instead of only being used to buy stuff, may it was because he never used one like that but he still scolded himself for his thoughtlessness.
Yu Wu blushed slightly as she quickly waved off of Ryuu's words as she replied back, ”There is no need to apologize boss.”
With that Yu Wu left while Ryuu could not help but let out a sigh as he knew that by the end of the day even the lowliest of janitorial staff would know about the latest gossip regarding him.
”Advisor Yamamoto, have you ever used similar tactics to advance your cultivation?”
Yamamoto frowned as he spoke, ”I do not recall using such methods to advance my cultivation, they provide a good short boost but in the long run it is a waste.”
Ryuu gave a nod as he spoke, ”So true they can use that to invest on other things like medicines, weapons, talisman and many other necessary items.”
As Yamamoto nodded in acknowledgement Ryuu spoke with a frown, ”Advisor, when Yu Wu pointed out about money I realized something.”
”What is it Your Highness?”
”I have good number of 'Peak Grade Deva Crystals' and a few 'Yin Stones', if I want to buy something I doubt anyone would be able to give me any change here.”
