Chapter 1065 Aleister's Praise

After Lin Wuming's status as a "director" was recognized by the chairman of Aleister, as a regular visitor to the "building without windows," Lin Wuming tacitly became the boss of "guide" Keiho Tamaki.

After stating her identity and position, Kihara Tatsuki felt that the atmosphere between the two had become more harmonious, so she suggested, "Today's meeting may last a long time, so there's no need for us to stand here forever—there's a lounge nearby where I can go and wait for the Nameless Lord to come out."

Kyoko Tsurugi still needed to pick up Lin Wuming, so she couldn't leave before the meeting ended; as for Tomi, she was clearly determined to wait for Lin Wuming to go home together.

After a moment's thought, Tiger Bee nodded and said, "Then I'll have to bother you."

As it spoke, the tiger bee reached out its hand to the other through the honey.

Kyoto Tsurugi shook his head and pulled a military flashlight from his lower back: "My coordinate movement does not require direct contact."

Moreover, to be honest, she was reluctant to have direct contact with this crazy woman, Hu Feng Tou Mi; if possible, she would prefer to stay as far away from this girl as possible.

Unfortunately, Chairman Aleister's orders did not allow her to evade them on her own...

……

"Don't worry, Lin Wuming, Jiebiao Danxi will take good care of Hufeng Toumi."

In the "Building Without Windows," Chairman Aleister said, "Also, I've asked the doctor at the hospital to pass on the message, so Misaki Shokuhou and Misaka Mikoto will understand."

"Wow, you've really thought of everything." Lin Wuming clicked his tongue in amazement. The arrangement was indeed very thoughtful, but it also meant that he might have to stay here for a while this time.

Lin Wuming suddenly regretted it. He didn't mind meeting with the chairman of Aleister Group—negotiating one-on-one with the big boss was the most efficient way to solve complex problems.

But now it seems Lin Wuming realized he might have oversimplified things; Chairman Aleister clearly had other plans…

Seemingly oblivious to the sarcasm in Lin Wuming's tone, Chairman Aleister said, "Let's begin, Lin Wuming."

"First of all, congratulations on winning the duel." Chairman Aleister seemed to suddenly become excited, even playing a canned clapping and cheering sound effect through the sound system. "You have achieved the ultimate dream of men, and the optimal solution at that—making the girls completely convinced as well."

Lin Wuming couldn't help but sigh and rub his forehead. He had every reason to believe that the upside-down man in front of him was mocking him and enjoying the spectacle.

Of course, we can't rule out the possibility that Aleister genuinely believes this, if that's really the case...

"...That would be even more troublesome..."

"Is it troublesome?" Chairman Aleister could hear every sound in this space. "Since you've chosen the harem route, don't be afraid of trouble, young man. Well, but I think I don't need to worry about you, Mumei, right?"

Bubbles rose from the giant test tube, and the body suspended inside actually grinned.

“I take back my previous assessment, Nameless. You actually have a lot of ideas. Although you seemed to have chosen the most clumsy method, it turns out that it is the only real shortcut!” Chairman Aleister said with a smile. “Of course, the girls are also very lovely. The fact that they came up with the duel method shows that they truly love you.”

“Aleister…” Lin Wuming clenched his temples, his psychic energy surging and boiling around him.

"Alright, let's discuss the matters related to post-disaster reconstruction and compensation." Chairman Aleister abruptly switched to the next topic, and the overall atmosphere became calm, even cold. A large screen was projected into the air beside them, instantly displaying a massive amount of photos and documents.

Lin Wuming glanced at them; they were mostly photos of damaged streets and buildings, as well as various insurance policies and construction contracts.

Finally, all these scattered pieces of data sank to the bottom, and a table appeared on the screen.

"According to preliminary statistics, the direct economic loss caused by this 'disaster' is approximately 15 trillion yen. As for the indirect and incidental losses, they cannot be estimated at this time."

Lin Wuming glanced at the total amount at the bottom of the table but didn't make any changes.

The number is too large, exceeding the scope of what normal humans can directly comprehend; just know that it's an astronomical figure.

Lin Wuming knew that even if he lost all his assets, he still wouldn't be able to fill this hole... right?

"Huh?" Lin Wuming suddenly frowned and began to recall the wealth under his name.

Because he had long been a hands-off manager, leaving all funds except for scholarships to Yun Chuan Juya to manage, Lin Wuming wasn't really sure how much money he had.

Every month, Yun Chuan Juya would give a regular report, but Lin Wuming's mind was not on making money at all; most of the time, it was Shokuhou Misaki who liaised with her.

Therefore, Lin Wuming only had a general idea of ​​his own wealth.

But it seems... fifteen trillion is not an entirely unattainable amount.

“As I said, this is only a direct economic loss,” the Aleister Board of Directors emphasized. “And unfortunately, a significant portion of your properties are also on the disaster list; your assets have actually been affected quite a bit.”

Because it inherited the estate of the original director Xie Erbin, Lin Wuming's foundation has invested in many manufacturing companies.

Without a doubt, the manufacturing industry was the hardest hit by this massive power and internet outage.

"..." Lin Wuming could only sigh silently at the unpredictability of life.

“But there’s no need to be so pessimistic, Lin Wuming,” Chairman Aleister said again. “This city has contingency plans for Level 5 combat conflicts. It’s just that the intensity of your battle with Misaka Mikoto this time has exceeded the Level 5 level, which is why all the contingency plans have been broken and such serious consequences have occurred.”

“Even so, we still have contingency plans,” Aleister projected a new document onto the screen. “A professional team is handling the aftermath. Of course, because it’s during the Daihasei Festival, it will be more complicated than usual.”

"So, how exactly should we handle this incident?" Lin Wuming asked hurriedly, because he was also very concerned.

Chairman Aleister laughed out loud: "That's what I like about you, Lin Wuming. Compared to others, you are the only one who is very self-aware in this regard and has the values ​​of a normal person—knowing that you caused the trouble and being willing to pay compensation! This is a truly rare quality in this position."

“Don’t worry, Academy City will return to normal by tomorrow morning,” Chairman Aleister said. “Except for the two and a half blocks that you directly used as the battlefield, everything else will be back to normal.”
