The Hero

Chapter 262 The curious man

Zephiel angrily attacked Javier, but those were the only words he spoke before he fell silent.

This was not because he felt unwell but because he remembered his bloody history.

Now that I think about it, it's precisely because I was so ruthless in my methods that two of my brothers ended up dead, two of them paralyzed, while the other two went missing.

But I had no other choice at the time. I felt as if I was in a war in the past, without using a weapon or a sword. When I appeared on that battlefield, I was destined to be a hunter, or a hunted one, that's all…

The situation I was in at the time was exactly what Javier was facing at the moment…'

At that moment, Zephiel could no longer attack Javier.

He was silent for almost five minutes before he waved his hand, gesturing that Javier could leave him.

Just as Javier was about to reach the exit, Zephiel instructed, "Be careful."

Javier stopped and turned to look at the lonely old fox's back, making him feel a little sad.

“As long as they don't chase those closest to me, I'll spare their lives. In fact, I would be able to endure it even if they were to chase after me. Take good care of yourself, Grandpa.”

After that, Javier left.

It was a promise that he left Zephiel, and it was also the biggest compromise he could make for him.

Zephiel understands the compromise Javier has just made with that promise and understands that Javier is just doing that so as not to see him hurt.

After a long sigh, Zephiel left his residence and headed to the ancestral hall.

He looked calm the entire time, so no one knew what he was going through inside at that moment.

However, the moment he entered the ancestral hall and closed the door, he immediately knelt down in a loud voice as he faced his ancestral plaque.

“Karma... These are all karma that work! If you all have dissatisfaction, throw it all at me. Leave my children and grandchildren from this.”

Zephiel's eyes were covered in tears, and he even continuously bowed in front of the plaque.

At the time, he was not forced to take revenge against only his six brothers but also his four uncles, bringing the total to 11 people, including himself.

Just then, he was kneeling in front of the ten plaques.

Despite living in a large family and enjoying the envious gazes of others, none of them could imagine how bloody and terrifying the real experience of that family member was.

After all, many hoped to become emperors, but there would only always be one throughout history. This emperor definitely had blood on their hands, whether they liked it or not.

After leaving the island, instead of boarding a plane, Javier receives a call from Liam.

Liam sounded very excited when he revealed how the development of the propulsion system reached the final stage, the experimental stage. So, the fact that they have reached that phase means they need to test it on an actual car.

Javier had not contacted the car manufacturer at the time, so he called Trevor.

On the phone, Trevor said, “True, of course, it must be a car factory. I have done some research and found that although we can test it on a regular car, for the required equipment and brand manufacturers that we will work with in the future, we will be able to test it on a regular car, I'm sure it'll be better if we find one that has a good reputation.

“Big brands are filled with arrogant people in the end. Therefore, we must not only consider our testing phase, but also the production capacity in the future.”

Javier agrees to this point, but he also gives his own opinion and says, “I don't want to cooperate with other companies. This is a new energy option that we are developing, so there is no reason for us to share our work with outside companies.”

Trevor agrees. “Of course, we don't have to look for outside companies. I intend to find one with a reputable background that will

'A brand that represents the pride of our nation? Which one?' Within seconds, Javier immediately remembered the new car he had just bought.

After talking to Trevor a little longer, Javier immediately changed his flight destination and instead headed for East Tres.

The next day on landing, Javier meets Trevor who had flown there before.

“This former chairman of mine may have retired, but his words must remain weighty. We're going to head there now, or would you rather take a break first?

Trevor immediately asked Javier after the latter left the airport.

Javier waved his hand. “I thought about it when I was on a flight just now. I'm not going to join you on this visit. After all, he is your former Chairman, so it is only natural that you lead this meeting. My presence there might cause things to go awry

“What do you think of this? You meet this former chairman of yours while I will go to the factory to check their facilities, assembly lines, and management.

Trevor thought Javier had a point, but he was confused as to how the latter would go into the factory to check all of it.

Nevertheless, Trevor knew that Javier had his odd tactics, so he did not comment further on that.

After going into more detail about other matters, Trevor called a taxi and rushed to see his former chairman.

Meanwhile, Javier heads to the car factory and hands a cigarette to the security guard as they chat.

However, Javier did not ask for facilities and assembly lines inside the plant because security officers would not be too clear about it. Besides, he needs to see it for himself.

So, he was just talking about factory vacancies, which to his knowledge, car factories were lacking workers everywhere.

Assembly lines are not easy jobs to manage. Instead, it was a very difficult job that required the workers to be fully focused. Losing focus on work can cause subsequent processes to malfunction. Although the problem can be solved by retracing what has been missed, it is still a waste of time.

In addition, assembly line workers will not be able to feel the effects early on, but after having to endure the hardships of their work for a long time, they will eventually get bored and tired of their work. They often have to trade their 12-hour shifts, even having to push them into 24-hour shifts if they need to catch up with their deadlines, which weighs heavily on their bodies.

So, even though they can earn around 800 dollars per month at full capacity, even with insurance covered for them, the assembly line will always face a shortage of workers.

Sure enough, as Javier had expected, the security guards told him that the factory was indeed short of workers, and they were recruiting at the time.

“How about this, my friend? The factory will pay us an introduction fee for each person they hire, about 10 dollars per person, as long as the person works for three months. So, how about you use my name to sign up, and I share half of the introductory cost with you?”

Javier looked overjoyed as the security guard gave this suggestion. "Sure! Meanwhile, I can also get an extra 5 dollars!”

The security officer was overjoyed and asked his colleague to stand guard on his behalf while he brought Javier inside the factory to register the latter's name in the human resources department.

However, Javier does not seem to take the matter seriously. After all, he would not work long there—maximum three days just so that he could get used to the factory procedures.

He seemed very happy when he heard he would be able to earn 5 dollars especially since he did not have a certificate of residence for the city, which was mandatory for him to take this job. However, with that factory security guard in the lead, he would be able to get through all of that.

Sure enough, the staff member in the human resources section requested Javier's residency certificate when he signed up for the job.

Javier stabbed the security guard, who instantly understood his signal. “She lives in my house as a tenant at the moment, so they are still working on her current residence certificate.”

Since the security guard was one of them, the staff member said nothing more and enrolled Javier into the system before handing out uniforms and other necessities.

“We have a lot of production scheduled to be completed recently, so you can enter the assembly line immediately if you are available immediately and familiarize yourself with the work. You will be able to start working tomorrow officially. The earlier you arrive, the more your salary increases, right?

Javier easily agreed to the advice of the staff members, making the security guard feel very happy. He thought that he would definitely be able to receive a 10 dollar introductory fee.
