13 Grand Trading III

Ding! He received a notification from the United Business Office confirming that the business name has been registered.

But that doesn't mean that the business is already established; there are many more things to be done.

But Arc doesn't need to do anything, Eve will do the rest. All he needs to do is think of the next step and have Eve implement it...

Mill went to the office early in the morning. The first thing he did is check last night's transaction records. But to his surprise, he didn't see the name of Mr. Grand, but soon he received a call from Jake. He stood up and went to Jake's office.

When Mill opened the door to Jake's office, he saw him talking to someone on the phone. He greets him anyway.

"Morning Jake!"

He then sat in the chair in front of Jake's office table. He sat there quietly, waiting for Jake to Finnish talking on the phone. Mill opens his phone to check on the latest trends and news, as it's essential for a trader like him to be informed about the latest current events.

He checked many things, from the news of the galactic war to the conflict between the United Government and the Pacific Asian Alliance, or PAA...

He also saw some news about the discovery of new alien species.

Then he clicked on the video of a raid on Beast Lord. Five hunters can be seen circling and attacking the Beast Lord. The Beast Lord looks like a Minotaur, only it has 4 arms, and each arm is as thick as a woman's waist, which also holds a massive club like a weapon.

One hunter fired a harpoon, but it only bounced back against the Beast Lord's thick skin. The Beast Lord laughs and charges at the hunter, who fired the harpoon. But the hunter is ready for it. These hunters are clearly professional; every action they made is calculated and meticulously planned.

But this Beast Lord is powerful and very intelligent; it didn't fall to the hunter's provocation and taunting. It remains passive, only defending and occasionally attacking. It looks like it was waiting for the hunters to get tired. The hunters know that too, and after many unsuccessful attempts, they pull out. This is a failed raid.

This just shows how troublesome the Beast Lord was. There are many debates on the use of high-powered weapons and eradicating the Beast. But Many are against such actions. Yes, the Beast Lord and the brutal Beast are dangerous, but they are also rare commodities.

The danger they pose is a lot smaller compared to the advantage of having them around. Beast meat, especially Beast Lord, has a high energy content, A study shows that eating Beast Lord meat can strengthen human genes, and continued eating of that said meat can increase one's strength and immunity, and best of all, it increases one's life span.

That's why humanity continues to tolerate the Beast. And one more thing, a cloned beast Lord doesn't possess the same quality as its wild counterpart. Even the Beast raised in captivity shows signs of Gene degradation. That's why humans stopped raising the Beasts.

And allows them to roam free in the wilderness. Besides, beast hunting has become a sort of sport, A nationally renowned beast Hunter is becoming a superstar. Hunters are graded by the United Hunters Association. The grading system goes from.

Mill continues to browse when he hears Jake calling him.

"Mill can you guess who I'm talking to earlier?"

"Someone from the United statistics office?"

"That's right, yesterday I made some calls regarding our mysterious Mr. Grand. Guess what we have uncovered?" Ask Jake.

"Do we have his information?"

"No, not even close. All information regarding this Mr. Grand is confidential. Even my contact in USO can't access the files. According to him, the files are encrypted, only accessible to the highest office..."

"Whoa! That's something. I tried looking at last night's transaction records, but I didn't see his name anymore." said Mill.

"Well, that's not surprising, we probably won't see any record about him again." Jake said nonchalantly

"Eh, why?" Mill asked curiously

"Well, according to my source, Mr. Grand increased his security level yesterday. So he probably found out someone's trying to access his information," said Jake helplessly

"Did he know it was us?" asked Mill.

"Probably or probably not, we can never know," Jake answered

"I wonder who he is to have that kind of security level, it must be related to the top office." Mill Asked.

"It's better if we don't poke our head on this one. There's no advantage in it for us," Jake said.

What they didn't know is Eve was watching and listening to their conversations, the moment they do something that will endanger her boss, she will implement her plan...

Eve, after listening to their conversations, stops spending a lot of her CPU power monitoring them. She is still monitoring them, but only with minimum surveillance.

What Jake and Mill didn't know is that because of their decision, they were spared from a disaster that would have endangered them, if they continue to investigate or poke their head into her Boss's business...

Arc has no idea about all this after getting the notification from UBO of the successful registration of his business name. He was in a good mood. He ordered some stakeout for his little sisters and went home because his next appointment is still in the afternoon.

Today, both his sisters have a half-day in school; that is why he ordered some food for his sisters.

He looks at his watch at 10:49 am, still, early, he hails a cab and tells the driver his address. It's actually not far from Angel's resto-bar to his house. As it is only around 2 kilometers.

2 kilometers is nothing to him, every day for the last 2yrs in order to save money, he traveled on foot for more than 5 kilometers to work.

He sits at the back of the cab as he looks at the window. He thinks about all his experiences that seem so long ago. Even though just 2 days ago, he was still a penny less Ant in front of people like Mike.

Now everything is changing, and it's changing fast, and he needs to adapt quickly, so he can give his family, especially his two little sisters, a better life that much sooner.

Before he knew it, he was already in front of his house. He pays the driver and enters his home.
