Hero System! Transported to Another World - Chapter 167: Another Party.
The Man started to sweat when he saw the components. It seemed like he knew something. Hana noticed immediately and Spoke, “If you lie, I will make sure that bad things will happen to you and your company… I’ve already had enough time to decide if this was a normal company or a criminal one and I can be sure that there will be some hard evidence to make sure that it is the latter.” She seemed to be enjoying threatening the man.
Hearing Hana’s words, The Company head stood up and sighed, He looked around and spoke, “I can’t legally give away the buyer of any sort of chemicals from this business. That is something that You have to respect. Even the police respect it.”
He started to talk towards the large window that overlooks the factory machines, “However, I also need to be honest in cases like this…” He was sweating bullets. As soon as He spoke that information on buyers couldn’t be disclosed, The atmosphere seemed to have dropped and He knew that It was from Hana.
The Owner sighed and continued, “I can’t give away all the buyers… Many of them are long-time partners and I can say for sure that they aren’t related to any criminal activity that could interest you a lot. So, there are only two places that we have sold those chemicals… One, A closing Mine at the outskirts of town. A rural place…”
He paused and took Hana’s phone from the table, “I’ll put its location on the map for you…” He then looked at Hana and smiled, “The other place is an industrial factory that has asked for this chemical for the first time… It felt suspicious to us but We never cared for what or how they use it. Plus, it seemed to be related to the military so it was most probably the military wanting supplies.”
He turned around and walked to his chair. Taking another deep breath and sitting down, The man waited for Hana’s reply.
Hana looked at the man with a scary glare. She couldn’t trust him completely but She had to take the information. Hana took her phone and sighed, “I’ll take this as an apology in favor of your guards.” She turned to the door and walked out.
The man took a deep sigh of relief as he watched Hana walk out of the room. However, seeing Hana stop and walk back to the room caused his heart rate to increase once more.
Hana walked back to the door and spoke, “If This comes out to be unhelpful or just plain false, I will wreck this entire place.” She glared at the corner of the room and shook her head. Hana then turned away and slowly walked to the exit.
The Man fell limp and spoke to himself as he opened a pack of cigarettes. “I always knew that it was a risk selling illegal substances and that the government had their eyes on me. I tried everything to be as far away from anything illegal but never thought about the awakened… They work so out of the system that I couldn’t even guess that such a day would come where an S ranked awakened would just walk in, threatening information from me, and walk out… Hell If I hadn’t told her anything, We would have probably been hospitalized by now…”
After a brief moment of silence, A voice came from the back corner of the room, “I’m still shocked by the fact that she could see me… ” The voice was quiet but deep in tone.
The Owner looked at the corner and smiled, “Your powers are equivalent to Shadow, the A-ranked awakened… Or you might actually be more powerful than him… But she is an S ranked awakened, and That also the best one in the country… No matter what anyone says, I will always Be afraid of that woman. I’ve done some research before I hired you and looking into the files, Her raw powers and growth is more than anything on the planet, let alone this country…” He seemed to shake a bit in fear.
“That’s ridiculous… Power like that in a small country like this? I understand that this place was the origin of the events that transpired into what we now have, awakened but still, That amount of power is something that can’t even be imagined… And are you sure? Do you think that she is more powerful than the top 5? Those 5 are at the top of the world, Never been defeated before but you say that this woman is more powerful than those monsters?” The voice seemed to be shocked.
The Owner smoked his cigarette and nodded, “It’s not an assumption… I am sure of it, Her powers are otherworldly… Or at least they were a few years ago. Her growth even more so. No one can just jump from being the weakest A rank to among the best S ranks in the nation within 2 months…” He looked more relaxed knowing that Hana was long gone.
The voice seemed to quiet down. After some time, The owner continued, “Just know that I hired you so leave your other work to after… I know how your country loves to look into potential powerhouses to slowly end them but While you’re under me, Our contract of no sharing information to anyone still stands. And will continue to stand till I die… I know how much you love to follow contracts so I know that I won’t need to worry about you spreading this info I just gave you back to your department.” He smiled.
The owner seemed to be harmless but in terms of contracts and anything other than physical powers, he was quite the furthest from powerless. The Awakened hidden in the back seemed to be a tiny bit scared when mentioned about the contract and spoke, “I won’t… Don’t worry.” He spoke slowly.
The man smiled and took out his phone, “We’ll need to increase security and hire some more Awakened, I feel like some things are about to start.”
