Infinite: Starting from Infiltrating Other Spaces

The next morning, Li Xia arrived at her office.

Although the company prepared a new deputy general manager's office for him, he did not move and remained in the original place.

This place is closest to the Special Operations Department, which is undoubtedly the force he is most likely to control.

Whether it's strong or not isn't important; what's important is that this place can serve as an extension of oneself, helping to handle small tasks that one can't manage alone.

He picked up the phone on the table and gave the order directly:

"Bring Douglas and Rhinecart to my office."

A short while later, the two men, still covered in ointment, entered the office, stood at attention, and saluted.

Clearly, the aftershocks of yesterday's battle between the two titled hunters had caused them some minor injuries.

Li Xia ignored them and instead looked at their information on the table: Douglas Reinhardt, born in a back alley, was a lucky one who fought his way out of countless back alley refugees.

After becoming a Level 5 Hunter, he did not stay in the back alley to bully others, but instead joined the Special Operations Department of Fortified Defense through the company's special recruitment channels.

Logically speaking, a level 5 hunter is qualified to serve as a senior supervisor in the Special Operations Department, at the P4 or P5 level.

However, these two clearly had no background or powerful connections, so they were deliberately suppressed and only served as captains of a small team.

Given that both men held the same rank as that idiot Silby, it would be impossible to say they had no complaints.

But that's exactly what Li Xia wanted: subordinates who were capable, suppressed, and had grievances.

He stared at it for a while, until both of them became somewhat uneasy, before finally closing the page without any hesitation.

"I promised you both before, so I am now officially appointing you as senior directors of the Special Operations Department."

Douglas was in charge of Division One, and Reinhardt was in charge of Division Two.

The two trembled, their eyes widened suddenly, and then they were overjoyed.

Although Li Xia's actions yesterday indicated that he had such thoughts, there was no formal appointment after all.

Today, the stone has finally fallen to the ground, and the emotions that had been brewing in anticipation and trepidation have now fully erupted.

They both paused heavily, straightened their bodies, and, enduring the pain, bowed deeply.

"Thank you for your guidance, Minister Dark Night! We will follow you to the death!"

Li Xia leaned back and waved her hand.

Along his journey, he served as a naval admiral, a Hokage, the deputy chief of staff of the Revolutionary Army, and held many other positions.

Even this isn't the first time he's acted as a hunter.

Although the hunters in Monster Hunter are not the same as the hunters here, he is still from Azure Star!

"I don't need you to swear an oath to die; I just need you to carry out my orders properly."

Under my command, you don't need to worry about being thrown out as cannon fodder. If you have any problems that you can't solve, come to me.

Salaries and benefits will be increased by 100%, and your children will be given priority in the company's recruitment channels, with a wide range of job options.

In the event of any unforeseen circumstances, I will guarantee that your family members will not be expelled from the company premises.

Furthermore, the entire amount of the compensation will remain in the hands of your family.

No, it should be said that if someone dies in a mission, their family and their compensation will be protected by the entire Special Operations Department.

These things belong to the company and have nothing to do with Li Xia.

Using other people's money to buy loyalty is incredibly satisfying.

He watched as the two men's eyes brightened with each word he spoke, their bodies even trembling slightly.

Why would a Level 5 Hunter join the company instead of lording it over others in the back alleys?

Isn't it all for their own family, children, and a stable life? These two are people who value family.

Therefore, everything I do and give is precisely what they care about most. As for whether what I'm saying is true, you can see for yourselves.

Li Xia smiled, then suddenly became serious:

"Reinhardt, Douglas!"

The two instinctively stood at attention.

"From now on, all accounts and documents of the Special Operations Department will be sealed, and the implementation of pensions and benefits for the orphans of Special Operations Department staff will be thoroughly investigated and recorded."

If there are any obstacles—”

A bloodthirsty smile gradually appeared on Li Xia's face as he looked at them and said:

"Kill without mercy."

Chapter 10 The Great Purge

There are no laws or governments in the entire sanctuary area; the Yuanxu leader is the highest authority, and the subordinate enterprises encompass all power within it.

For example, "Fortified Defense" is responsible for the defense, security, and arrest of the entire sanctuary.

It can be simply understood as a behemoth that integrates various violent institutions in reality.

In this situation, let alone purging some people, even if Li Xia were to pull up everyone in the Special Operations Department and kill them one by one, at most he would just write a report explaining why he did it.

The thrill and security of wielding life and death power is what attracts hunters to join them.

This power is not without checks and balances, and no one would do it.

The assessments and KPIs imposed on them by the leaders of Yuanxu are the most direct and effective constraints.

Killing someone is exhilarating, but after you've done it, the entire department will secretly obey you, making it impossible to complete the performance evaluation.

Failing the assessment and being stripped of their position is more painful than being killed.

Therefore, management is an art, a very interesting art.

Li Xia happens to possess this skill: to divide and conquer, to maintain smooth promotion channels, to ensure the interests of the vast majority of people, and to provide them with stability, so that the entire team will naturally unite.

If they can seize some benefits from the outside, then the team will spontaneously maintain those benefits, and at that time they will be one.

The atmosphere in the entire Special Operations Department building suddenly became tense the day the order was issued.

Li Xia contacted the intelligence department of Flower Kiss Viper and the company's internal audit department.

Even though Livia was acting strangely, and even avoided looking at Li Xia, she still agreed to send some of her most capable assistants to help review and examine the evidence.

Douglas and Reinhardt, having received the specific list, each led a team of trusted men and began their operation.

The heavy alloy doors were kicked open repeatedly. Before the staff who were checking reports could react, a cold energy gun was already pressed against their foreheads.

"Supervisor Walker, our investigation has revealed that you have embezzled field allowances from seventeen patrol teams during your tenure. Come with us."

The senior manager, whose name was called out, turned pale. He tried to argue based on his seniority, but Douglas didn't give him a chance to speak. Two team members stepped forward, twisted his arm, handcuffed him with alloy shackles, and dragged him out.

The documents were scattered all over the floor, leaving only the staff members looking at each other in bewilderment, not daring to breathe.

Meanwhile, Reinhardt went to meet the person with the most powerful background and the most serious crimes: the senior head of the logistics department.

He is the nephew of another vice president of the company.

For many years, he has been reselling the equipment, weapons, medicines, and even some of the clothing that the company issued to the special operations department.

This has resulted in some employees who used to receive uniforms all year round now having to wear last year's clothes.

The alloy office door slid open silently to the side, and Reinhardt led his men in.

At the luxurious solid wood desk, senior manager Connor didn't even look up, but simply pointed to the door and said coldly:

"Get out! Who gave you permission to enter my office?"

Reinhardt didn't take it seriously, reached out, pulled out a piece of paper, and read aloud:

"Connor Statham, during your tenure as Director of Logistics at Fortified Defense Special Operations Division, you embezzled and resold standard equipment and supplies, colluded with illegal organizations, illegally outsourced controlled materials, and embezzled special funds by falsely listing expenses..."

According to company regulations and procedures, you are hereby arrested; this is an arrest warrant.

Connor finally put down the heavy pen in his hand, raised his head, and a cold smile appeared on his well-maintained face.

He took the paper, glanced at it, tossed it aside, and scoffed.

"Arrest me? Do you have the right? Let Darkflame arrest me himself!"

Reinhardt's gaze followed the arrest warrant that fluttered to the ground. He nodded and smiled, saying, "Indeed, I was mistaken. It's not an arrest warrant."

Connor thought he had given in, and snorted. Just as he was about to speak, he saw Reinhardt pull out his gun and point it at his forehead.

"According to Minister Darkflame's orders, there's no need to arrest scum like you; you should... be executed on the spot!"

“I am Connor Statham, how dare you—”

Before he could finish speaking, a gunshot rang out, and smoke rose into the air.

A thumb-sized hole appeared on Connor Statham's forehead. His body jerked violently like a dead fish, then he fell backward, his face still bearing the expression of shock and anger.

Douglas blew away the gunpowder smoke from the muzzle, glanced contemptuously at Statham's corpse, spat on it, waved his hand, and said, "Fall back, to the next location."

"Do we really have to go this far?"

In Li Xia's office, a man in a suit sat on the sofa. His voice was deep, and his eyes were fixed on Li Xia:

"You can transfer him, or even punish him. Aren't you satisfied with that?"

"Satisfied? If we let him go, the entire Special Operations Department will not be satisfied. He has not only embezzled the interests of one person, but the interests of everyone."

"Vice President Statham, do you understand what I mean?"

Statham scoffed:

"We both understand that the people below are just expendable resources; no matter how many die, it won't cause any ripples."

Therefore, don't bring the profits from these consumables into our discussions; they don't deserve it.

Li Xia nodded. "Okay, then I'll tell you the truth."

He looked at Statham and said seriously, “I need the Special Operations Department to do things, but they’ve always been lazy, so I need someone big enough to kill and show the others.”

Therefore, he had to die.

A cold glint flashed in Statham's eyes. He stared at Li Xia expressionlessly, but Li Xia didn't take it seriously.

The two remained silent until a muffled gunshot rang out from an office not far away.

They said nothing, yet it was as if they had said everything.

Statham stood up, straightened his collar, and nodded: "In that case, thank you for the gift from Deputy General Manager Dark Night. I will reciprocate in the future."

After saying that, he didn't say anything, stood up and walked towards the door.

The office door had just been slid open when he suddenly stopped in his tracks.

Black Charcoal stood at the doorway, holding Thor's hammer in his hand.

Statham's eyes flickered, then turned to shock, anger, and disbelief as he reached for his waist.

But Black Charcoal was faster. It leaped high into the air, swung its hammer in a wide arc, and smashed it down on Statham's head.

In an instant, it exploded like a watermelon, red, white, and various other colors mixed together, along with bone fragments, spraying out in all directions.

Blood gushed into the air, the headless corpse swayed twice, then knelt on the ground and collapsed into a pool of blood.

Li Xia didn't even lift his eyelids, he just waved his hand:

"Ooh, wash the floor clean."

A return gift? Go back.

A vice president who hasn't even attended a question-and-answer session and has already been marginalized really thinks he's something special.

Li Xia had absolutely no intention of keeping him around.

Even though he has been marginalized and the power behind him has long since declined and shrunk, Li Xia would not keep a potential threat in his hands who might secretly try to sabotage him or take revenge at any time.

He simply picked up the phone and pressed a button.

The call was answered on the third ring, and Corned's deep voice came through:

"Hey, Dark Night, what do you want?"
