Skadi, returning to infinity

"It is said that such a business card has sold for more than one million Lungmen Dollars on the black market."

"If you want to take your sister to Rhodes Island for treatment, the cost of the treatment will be quite high."

Skadi spoke softly, but every word made Dalia tremble.

"But as far as I know, treatment at Rhodes Island is basically free..."

"This card costs 100 million LMD... I wouldn't believe it if Rhodes Island hadn't released it themselves."

Seeing Dalia like this, Anika couldn't help but look at Skadi, her eyes filled with suspicion.

"Yes, if you really get Oripathy, you can get free treatment at Rhodes Island."

"But such free services come at a very high cost."

"If you have this business card, you only need to become a mercenary for Rhodes Island, and you can leave in about three to five years."

"So if I go there, I'll basically be serving Rhodes Island for the rest of my life."

"And they don't necessarily stay on Rhodes Island. Rhodes Island has many outposts working all over Terra."

"Some places are extremely dangerous; once you go there, you basically won't come back."

"Although the vast majority of such work is done by Rhodes Island's regular operators who have received extensive training."

"But we cannot rule out the possibility that some mercenaries will be sent to these places to carry out missions."

"So this business card can at least guarantee that I won't go to these dangerous places to carry out missions until I have the ability to protect myself."

Whether it's worth a million depends on whether you have a million.

"If you don't have it, then this million is your life."

Upon hearing her explanation, Anika stood up and slammed her hands on the table.

"What kind of organization is Rhodes Island? Aren't you a neutral organization? Why do you have mercenaries and teams stationed outside? And why do you expect people to risk their lives for you?"

"Are you really a neutral pharmaceutical company, or an arms group masquerading as a pharmaceutical company?"

Anika seemed to already consider Skadi to be a member of Rhodes Island, referring to her as "you" repeatedly, her tone filled with dissatisfaction.

He was filled with skepticism about Rhodes Island's current behavior, which was completely different from what had been rumored.

After all, a legitimate, neutral pharmaceutical company wouldn't act like this, would it?

"Um, I'm from Rhodes Island."

Skadi readily admitted it, but she avoided discussing the exact structure of Rhodes Island.

"The reason I came here is to figure out some things."

"At the same time, it is also to add some fresh blood to Rhodes Island."

"I just think you have that potential, and you need that opportunity, don't you?"

Her question immediately silenced both of them.

In any case, they couldn't refute Skadi's words.

And with the opportunity right in front of them, it seemed they had no choice...

Chapter 47: This is really just a security company

What do you want us to do?

Although we don't know Skadi's relationship with Rhodes Island, judging from her behavior, she must be someone in the middle to upper ranks.

Someone like that coming out probably has something to do.

And then she suddenly started talking to these two people who hadn't mentioned their status or position, clearly because she wanted their help.

"Yes, I'd like you to help me open a security company here."

"Your sister can be sent directly to Rhodes Island for treatment."

"I will help you solve the problem of the money and resources you need to start a security company."

“Although you two are not the owners of the company, you can each get 20% of the shares.”

"In other words, you own 40% of this security company, and you can get a share of the profits."

"But at the same time, you must demonstrate your loyalty and sign a very stringent cooperation agreement."

"Of course, as long as you haven't violated the terms of this cooperation agreement, we won't hold you accountable."

"Apart from the personnel in some key departments who are arranged by us, you can train the security company's own staff."

"Don't tell me that you can't do this with your abilities."

"After all, the management company doesn't need you. You only need to train security guards and accept security assignments. Can't you even do that?"

Skadi's words could be considered a form of provocation. Anika and Dalia exchanged glances and then began to think.

"Does this even need to be thought about?"

Skadi asked, puzzled.

"We want to know... what your true purpose is."

"To establish a security company and make the two of us, people whose background we don't know and who have no ability, one of the owners of the company..."

“I don’t think this is a very safe collaboration.”

Dalia stopped Anika from speaking, looked at Skadi, and asked his question.

"Hmm? It's just because we'll be doing business in Ursus in the future, and we're worried about things going wrong, so we're setting up some companies in advance to protect our interests."

"This company is legal and complies with Ursus law."

"In other words, you don't need to worry about doing anything that violates Ursus law."

"Do you understand now?"

Skadi answered his question directly.

"Then why did they come to us?"

Dalia remained vigilant.

"Because your family has a clean record."

"As an ordinary person, I have no power."

"Besides, my meeting with you was by chance, so let's rule out any possible arrangements."

"Then, Anil's sister was sent to Rhodes Island, which means we now have a hostage who can be used to threaten you into obeying orders."

Why didn't you come to us?

"Oh, by the way, the person we're looking for has a deep understanding of Chernobog. Don't tell me you're not from Chernobog..."

Skadi looked at them with a puzzled expression; she was genuinely worried about this.

Although the impact may be small, it will still have a significant impact on China.

“Dalia and I grew up in Chernobog.”

"However, a few years ago, I went abroad to study with him, and when we came back, I found out that my sister was involved in some..."

"For some specific reason, I was infected with Ore-borne disease."

"We wanted to find a way to help her get treatment, and that's when we learned about the Tower of Babel..."

"In order to raise enough money for her medical treatment, we have been looking for work all over Chernobog."

"But ordinary jobs don't pay much at all."

"So we took the risk of taking these jobs, cooperating with their performance arrangements, so they could make a fortune from gambling..."

“Dalia and I graduated from YoRHa Guard Academy, one of the top ten guard academies in Ursus, so our abilities are actually quite good.”

"only…."

Hearing them say that, and based on their disgust for those "officials," Skadi probably already knew what was going on.

"Was your sister infected because of some high-ranking official in Chernobog? Tell me, at least I have the right to know, don't I?"

Skadi knew this might lead to rejection, but she still wanted to know why.

"Yes, the other party is a young nobleman from Chernobog."

"He wanted to rape my sister..."

"My sister hurt him with something while struggling."

"Then he injured me with the Originium Blade he had collected, and I got Oripathy."

“This matter is a big problem for that family, so although they punished that scumbag, they don’t allow us to talk about it.”

“If we say it, our sister will be greatly affected.”

“We need to earn money for her medical treatment, and her body can't be moved around easily, so…”

Anika explained the reason.

Hearing him say that, Skadi finally understood.

It's very common, but it's also a very unpleasant thing.

The scumbag tried to assault an ordinary girl, but failed when the girl resisted, and the family eventually intervened.

They say they punished that scumbag, but whether they actually did it, probably nobody knows.

Based on Skadi's understanding of the personalities of these old nobles, they would certainly not actually impose any punishment.

"You're probably looking for revenge for this, aren't you?"

"But we don't have that capability right now."

"If you want to do this, you need to get enough support."

"And this support comes from whose support you receive."

"Rhodes Island can give you everything you want; you just need to do as we say."

"Is everything alright?"
