186 Bitterness along with sweetness. (1/2)

First, she gathered the few people who were actually capable and had some important position to inform their organization's name.

An organization's name might not seem too much of a deal, but just a simple name could affect many things.

Without a name, the people working here were just grinding to get paid. However, with a name, they would feel a belonging to this place. These feelings are the foundation of their loyalty and the hard work that they would put here in the future.

Without a name, they were a group of people working together for their own interests. Now, they were truly an organization.

Days began to pass as Ozul told Haley to make some method of communication at longer distances.

Although Irvin was trying his best to find capable men, it would definitely not be easy in the initial stages. That is why they would need help to speed up the process. If the communication was established, they would be able to make good use of the Order of Dusk.

A week or so later, Irvin had already hired quite a few people. Although their loyalty was yet to be tested, they could only do with what they had right now.

Meanwhile, the little bit of money they had was quickly getting used up. Not only had Haley started ordering to add new things to the base, but the new people also required advanced pay.

It was just too much right now. But Ozul knew that it was only because they had just started the organization. Once it was properly established and grows, people would want to join even without Irvin looking for them.

Irvin had just thought to stop recruiting people when Haley kicked out every incompetent person. She also reassigned their previous duties if she saw that the person had the ability.

Irvin thought that it might upset Ozul, but the latter was perfectly fine with it. If Haley had not done it, he would have ordered it sooner or later.

They needed more people, but not at the cost of quality.

After a week, there were no suspicious people on the streets staring at others from a distance.

Although the Mages and Fighters could still feel the eyes on them, their system was slowly improving. It couldn't be helped since some of the new recruits were only Fighters of the lowest rank.

Meanwhile, Ozul spent the days either lazing around or roaming the city at night.

Today, Haley looked for people who would be kind enough to sell an artifact used for long-distance communication, but she was disappointed since she had no luck.

Fortunately, she did not have to worry about that when two men knocked on the door. These two were Rank-7 Mages sent by people from the Order of Dusk to provide the initial funds.

In her younger days, she had seen things like these. But it had been more than decades, so the memory was not so fresh in her mind now.

The two Rank-7 Mages did not say a word more and left the building hurriedly. Irvin was out, and only Haley and Ozul remained in the office.

Ozul was nonchalant even in front of the pile of rare items, but it could not be said to be the same for Haley.

After eloping with Irvin, she had endured many hardships and had almost forgotten what it's like to have such expensive things lying around all day.

However, Haley quickly controlled herself as her eyes went directly to a book in the pile of material. Haley instantly ran and approached that book.

As Haley held it in her hands, she turned towards Ozul and said, ”The first part of the long-distance communication is already done. We just need two of these. We have one, and the other should be with them.”

Ozul gave another glance to the pile of things on the ground before walking away. She understood it better than himself, so it was better all left to her.

There were all sorts of things there. Most of them were Platinum Coins, and the rest were resources used for formations and stuff.

Haley stored it all in her Spatial Ring as it was all a great help. Although she also doubted that the Ashin Family would keep their cooperation once they learn about Irvin.

After Irvin came back, Haley had other things for him to do. Now with funds in her hand, Haley decided to secure this base more and hire more capable men.

Irvin particularly looked for Mercenaries as they could be of great help. Not everyone needed to become an exclusive member. They could only be the informants who would get rewards for each piece of information valid and worth something.

As for Mercenaries, they already wandered around everywhere. They surely wouldn't lose the opportunity to get free stuff.
