In the Name of God - Chapter 41.1
To avoid paying him any mind, I ignored Lee Sunho and focused on my meal. I also ate the meat that was in my rice bowl.
As soon as I finished eating, more meat appeared as if it had been waiting. This happened no matter how many times I took a spoonful. The moments when my bowl was empty of meat kept disappearing.
Even when I glared at him as if he were being creepy, Lee Sunho did not stop.
“You two get along well. I understand it hasn’t been long since you met.”
Why is that woman looking at us with such a pleased expression?
I put my spoon down and slightly raised my eyes at Estelle Roland’s gaze.
“I assume you didn’t arrange this meeting just to buy us an expensive meal.”
It was a prompt for her to get to the point.
After exchanging a glance with Park Junggeon, Estelle Roland handed us two high quality business cards.
“We are first division members of the Black Tail clan.”
Once we accepted the cards, Estelle Roland spoke with a voice full of pride and kindness.
“Normally, our Black Tail clan does not recruit members on a rolling basis. We only fill positions through an open recruitment process held once a year.”
This was true not only for Black Tail but also for most large scale clans. If they didn’t do it this way, they would be overwhelmed by the influx of awakened individuals wanting to join, which would interfere with their operations.
“However, first division members are allowed to recommend and recruit one person each year at their own discretion.”
As she said this, Estelle Roland lightly pointed at herself and Park Junggeon.
“As first division members of Black Tail, Awakened Park Junggeon and I would like to recommend and recruit Awakened Seong Do-yoon and Awakened Lee Sunho.”
Estelle Roland carefully pulled out a preliminary contract.
The sound of the leather folder opening echoed quietly over the dining table.
Ignoring Lee Sunho, who was putting more meat on my plate beside me, I took the folder and skimmed through it.
A two year contract with a 1 billion won signing bonus and an annual salary of 700 million won.
In addition, there were various subsidies including the provision of a private dormitory and priority assignment for specialized equipment.
To be honest, for an awakened person who had just reached Rank 7, these were unbelievably good conditions.
They were incomparable to the terms offered by other clans that had been scrambling to reach me.
‘It certainly lives up to its reputation as a large-scale clan.’
It takes an average of one and a half to two years for an awakened person who has reached Rank 7 to reach Rank 6.
Since the conditions would improve upon reaching Rank 6, a two year contract like this wasn’t bad as long as one had the confidence to promote.
Estelle Roland, who was watching me intently as I scanned the contract, added cautiously.
“The conditions listed were calculated before today’s dungeon raid, so we plan to improve them further.”
“I suppose you viewed today’s raid favorably.”
“We had no choice but to do so.”
Park Junggeon, who had been eating quietly, chimed in.
Leaning his elbows on the table and resting his chin on his hand, he gazed steadily at me.
“A high level perception type user capable of field scanning and identifying weaknesses. Furthermore, despite being Rank 7, you already use mana at a high level. You also have a natural talent for giving orders.”
Park Junggeon shifted his gaze from me to Lee Sunho.
“And what more is there to say about this one? He tore through a barrier that even high rank awakened ones couldn’t break as if it were a piece of cloth. The instantaneous swordsmanship I saw to my heart’s content today was also impressive.”
Beyond mere admiration, he was openly salivating.
“Truly, he is a coveted vanguard.”
Even though he was receiving Park Junggeon’s passionate gaze, Lee Sunho didn’t even look at him.
It seemed this guy had no interest in anything other than piling meat into my bowl.
Stop piling it up, you lunatic.
Estelle Roland, who was once again looking at us warmly, had eyes that sparkled.
“If you are interested, would you like to visit the Black Tail headquarters? We will have the contract revised according to your preferred schedule.”
“Let’s negotiate the terms directly with the clan leader.”
In an instant, Estelle Roland’s hand stopped.
Her thin eyebrows trembled very minutely.
Normally, contract terms are not negotiated directly with a clan leader.
It is common for the human resources team in charge of practical affairs to negotiate, and even if someone higher up steps in, the line is usually drawn at the managing director of the finance team.
Estelle Roland’s face turned troubled.
“Meeting the clan leader is a bit…”
“The vice clan leader of Horizon visited me a few days ago.”
The shoulders of Park Junggeon and Estelle Roland flinched simultaneously. Park Junggeon, in particular, was visibly shaken.
