The God Virus - Chapter 385: Ready

Listening to everything Virus had to say, claiming Amara was thunderstruck would be an understatement since that couldn’t even begin to define her current emotions anymore.

She felt wronged and misunderstood as she wanted to scream that he was not correct about this. Albeit, she couldn’t in the end.

Notwithstanding, for a while, after Virus was done speaking, a strange type of silence descended upon the interior of the jet as Amara could only stare wide-eyed at him, a little pale on the face.

However, as she deliberated more on the matter, gradually, her anger returned to her as she pondered, ‘Aren’t you just twisting the entire situation? Aren’t I at least getting sad over their deaths?’

Nevertheless, she didn’t utter any of that out loud, and instead, returning to her seat with a harrumph, she stayed quiet for the rest of the journey after murmuring something beneath her lips. “Hmph, I can’t win over you with words alone when you can easily make a devil a saint and a saint the worst devil the world has ever seen.”

…

KNOCK! KNOCK!

“Come on in.” Said someone in a relaxed tone.

Creak~ Targh!

“Mr. CEO, everything’s ready at last!” Stated a young woman while gazing at the ugly man in front of her. This young woman was his personal secretary.

“Un.” Nodding his head, uttered the CEO ugly inquisitively, “Briefly go over some of the main processes we went through in these past few years.”

“Yes, Mr. CEO.” Nodding respectfully, the woman continued, “So, at the very first step, without anyone’s notice, mine included, you sir together with the aid of Mr. Robert James, the head of Legal Department, secretly bought many precious lands with the potential to be mined from all over the world.”

Simultaneously, she was wondering to herself internally, ‘Which I still don’t know how you guys did it… I can’t even begin to guess how this company can suddenly discover so many lands full of potential all of sudden…’

Outwardly, without any change in expression whatsoever, she went on, “It was followed by the second step where Mr. James dealt with and cleared away all of the relevant paperwork and legal and political issues as the green light was finally given to us to handle the remaining crucial phases.”

“Anyway, subsequently, the headquarters began building the required construction bases at the site of each of the mining lands. Not only that, heeding your personal orders, we also bought the most expensive and advanced tools for the process of mining itself.”

“And now, after several years, every single one of our mining sites is considered the most advanced ones all around the globe. Everything else such as the matter of hiring a gigantic number of workers, employees, etc. has been completed too.”

“Thus, as of this moment, all of our employees and miners are just waiting for your signal to officially begin mining. That is all, sir.” Concluded the secretary with shining eyes of reverence directed at her CEO.

In fact, the gaze of this secretary of his seemed to be filled with such passion and veneration that the CEO ugly had this absurd notion that she might start worshipping him at any seconds now.

“I see. Now report the list of mines that are ready to start working for our company.” A momentary flicker of satisfaction went through the CEO ugly’s eyes as he threw another question into the ring.

In truth, the reason why the CEO ugly was questioning her like this had to do with the fact that in these past few years, he had been extremely pleased with this secretary of his, and therefore, he wanted to promote her in the following days. These inquiries were like a final yet simple interview where he wanted to shine more light on the extent of her diligence and power of analysis.

“Yes, sir. According to the report I was handed with, it is clearly elaborated that the mines are ranked based on the potential size of their veins. This ranking respectively includes from the smallest to biggest D-grade, C-grade, B-grade, and the largest A-grade mines.”

“The list states that we are now in possession of many D-grade mines of copper, silver, iron, etc.”

Speaking of these D-grade mines, a rather strange expression became visible on the CEO ugly’s face as he recalled something, ‘Huh, thinking back, Master didn’t even bother with these D-grade mines as he merely told me to memorize their spots as spare ones. He never mentioned these smaller mines in specific as he merely told me to start preparing the mines with our capital without telling me to abandon or make use of the smaller ones which he didn’t even spare a glance at.’

‘Sigh, in the end, without missing a single one, I just went ahead and made use of all of them since there are going to be tons of profits earned from each and every one of them. But I wonder, was doing this the best thing? Hope it pleases master.’

Meanwhile, the secretary went on with her elucidation in a professional tone, “There were also several C-grade mines specializing in either copper, iron, or silver.”

“But moving on to the larger B-grade mines, there are six mines entirely and every one of them specializes in either silver, Iron, or gold.”

“And at last, the company’s now in possession of two A-grade mines, one of which mainly specializes in diamond and is expected to produce more than 15 million carats diamonds annually, and the other one is a mixed-mine expected to be able to produce gold, molybdenum, silver, copper, etc. by itself alone.”

Going quiet at this point she finished, “That is all, sir.”

“Hmm, great. Alright! You can go ahead and give the green light, we’ll launch the mining phase from this moment onwards.”

“Yes, Mr. CEO.” Confirmed the secretary. Yet for some unknown reason, she wasn’t moving at all.

“Is there anything else?” Rather intrigued, without displaying any signs of emotion, the CEO ugly questioned.

“Um, Mr. CEO… should we take some precautionary measures before that? I’m just worried that if we start the mining phase now, the rest of the mining industry and the governments of those countries in possession of mines might try to shut us down or-” Before she could finish with her expression of worry, however, the CEO ugly interrupted, “You don’t need to worry about that. It’s already been dealt with. You’re dismissed.”

“Yes, Mr. CEO.” Since it was no longer appropriate for her to proceed any further than that, the secretary merely retreated and left the office.

‘Hmph, they would’ve made a move already if they did indeed dare to do so.’ Pondered the CEO ugly to himself after watching his secretary leave. In fact, when it came to this particular topic, the CEO ugly knew better than anyone else that other people would rarely dare to offend them anymore.

This mainly had to do with the fact that up to this moment, the Virus Industries was absolutely successful in maintaining their sole control and secrecy over the production and distribution of the annual temporary cures of the Mutated HIV, [Ai Virus 001: The Savior].

Moreover, he was confident this status quo was going to remain the same until at least the permanent cure of the Mutated HIV was discovered by someone. But for now, they were safe from most of those greedy eyes observing them from within the shadows.
