Chapter 1131 - The Fifth Ruin (1/2)
Thomas Geller was in a complicated mood. His work clothes were covered in dust and filth. He strode forward with a long face, and a fat man panted as he scuttled and followed behind him.
“Hey, Thomas! Thomas!”
“What do you want, Andy? I’m in a bad mood now.”
“Bad mood? Why, Thomas?”
Upon hearing Thomas’s response, the man following him like a lackey widened his eyes in suspicion.
“Isn’t that a good thing? The excavation that was stopped has finally begun again. Besides, we have also received the large sum of money we wanted and you have been appointed as the leader of the site excavation team thanks to the excavation works of the previous sites. I don’t understand what you’re unhappy about.”
“I would rather work unrestrained than being forced to, like now!”
Thomas stomped his foot and glared at the fat man behind him. Upon realizing his rage, the fat man took down his glasses, wiped the lenses, and continued speaking.
“No-no-no, it isn’t worse off than before. We know this excavation job is extraordinary and relatively important. I know you hate the soldiers, but it is necessary for them to be here. Besides, don’t we also have some important figures in our team this time? Dr. Sean is a geological expert, Dr. Miller is a chemical engineer, and Dr. Alicia… oh, you don’t know, but gathering these people wasn’t easy at all.”
“Yea, we could have gotten a few more people…”
Thomas snorted and pointed outside the window.
“… so can you explain to me who those young ladies are?! Damn it. This is an excavation site, not some museum, idol stage, or karaoke hall. So why are they here? Darn it. They are nothing more than some brats!”
“This…”
The fat man forced a helpless smile.
“I’m not sure either, Thomas. I only know that they are representatives of B&M Company. We have many facilities provided by them and their request is to allow the young ladies to follow and record the happenings in the ruins. I don’t know the exact situation, but they have indeed negotiated with the higher-ups, obtained official documents, and followed the right procedures.”
“Alright then, damn those capitalists. I don’t know what they are up to. But I hope those young ladies don’t cause any troubles!”
Frankly, Rhode didn’t expect to join the investigation team with this identity. But it wasn’t too surprising. Even though B&M Company seemed like a virtual-reality gaming company, their technologies were also used outside of games. The Creator Dragons were smart. All this while, they worked closely with the military and governments of various countries. After all, there was no doubt that such virtual-reality technologies were crucial for military affairs. It would be strange if one were to think that B&M Company sold games for a living. It was definitely no joke that the company was able to develop into a global multinational corporation today.
But Rhode didn’t expect Arthur and the rest to intervene with this matter. Even though B&M Company made such a request and had indeed put Rhode’s group in a better position, the company was therefore involved in this excavation. However, Rhode didn’t feel guilty. As Creator Dragons who were the root of everything that happened, it went without saying for them to assume responsibility. If not, Rhode wouldn’t have taken upon himself all the terrible stuff while they benefited from the good. But…
“I think we may be too conspicuous…”
