Chapter 656
A thought crossed Richard's mind.“Could the New York headquarters know about this? If so, why aren't they telling us?”Gerald shrugged his shoulders.“Whether they do or don't know about those creatures prior to the last excavation into that ruin, it doesn't even matter. They should have known by now, through those autopsy results, that there's something in that ruin that poses great dangers to humans.”“Yet, instead of proceeding with caution, they turned this excavation into a large-scale global one. From this, it's clear that the headquarters in New York prioritize the excavation of that ruin above the lives of archeologists and antiquarians within the IAA branches.”Kevin whistled with a shake of his head. “Greedy humans are naturally everywhere. The higher in power and authority, the more desensitized they become to the lives of those beneath them.”Gerald wasn't focused on the inevitable. Most antiquarians and archeologists must have figured out by now that the New York headq

Richard rubbed his arm with a smile.“Thinking about this achievement, Sir, it's truly frightening. You're still in your early twenties. Yet, you stepped in claiming a spot that only the vice-chairman, Dr. Wallace K Rainier, has attained. You never have to hustle for promotion on accumulated merits at all.”Head Bodyguard Kevin glanced at his partner.“Come on, Richie. It's not like it was easy either. Have you forgotten the intensity of the dangerous expedition we went on? There's Red Alley Market, Cone-Rock River, as well as the Iron Falls waterfall.”“We dealt with a faction of the Lamb Farm, the Herder Bandit, and their trafficking storage within that market. Then blowing apart their hideout deep in the dangerous forest that led to Cone-Rock River and Iron Falls.”“Then there are the endangered animals that have now been free to claim the habitat as their territory. The ghost princess of the first settler near Cone-Rock River and her sad story, as well as the unnamed beast we fou

Gerald nodded his head calmly.“Which of our enemies do you guys believe has any idea that Juliet, Terry, and even Professor Julian have assigned personalized units of protection including more than ten AFSB Squad-9 bodyguards?”“By your calculation, it doesn't matter if it's Roxy Anecdote or Dr. Jennings making the ambush against one of my closest people in the world. They would need about thirty to fifty elite-tier assassins to make it possible ““As for these people themselves, the subleaders didn't earn their position through influence, they earned it through superior skills. Each subleader can take down about five of their own underlings and possess sufficient management risk skills if things become unpredictably disastrous.”“I don't give a shit how powerful Xandro is. He wouldn't be taking down these subleaders so easily, not with my evolution-triggering blood running through their veins. If push comes to shove, these subleaders have the prerogative to get their charge to safe

Head Bodyguard Kevin folded his arms over his chest.“So we can assume that these people have no good intention of initiating the demand for Young Master Gerald to join the journey to Iraq, huh?”Professor Julian rubbed a hand on his face while taking a deep breath.“That's most likely the case. They've probably hatched a plan to humiliate Gerald while we're there, and maybe ambush him as well. Who knows, the three aristocratic families might actually be making moves on behalf of Roxy Anecdote as well.”Richard hummed.“So basically, they're trying to get Young Master Gerald away from the continent, where they believe isolation will make it much easier to cause trouble for him.”Gerald had an interest in another area of the entire narrative.“Professor, tell me, why did Dr. Wallace agree to it? He should have figured out the intention behind those pests initiating a demand for my participation in Iraq, right?”Professor Julian took a sip of a warm drink that Subleader Alan Fu had pas

Gerald was intrigued.“If what I'm recalling is correct, a call for a joint effort is super rare for the global IAA, isn't it?”Professor Julian nodded his head sharply.“That's right. Every professor with every IAA branch possesses their earned confidence. Getting archaeologists and antiquarians of different branches to work together on something has to be prioritized in terms of estimated rewards that would most likely circulate well enough.”Gerald caught on to what Juliet’s father was saying.“So the headquarters have taken satisfactory reports to determine that the Mesopotamian ruin in Iraq has enough antiques and archeological bodies to pique everyone's interest. There's really enough reward to go around?”Professor Julian nodded his head.“Based on the reports that were briefed in the memo, I believe so. The branch Vice chairman, Dr. Wallace K Rainier, is currently selecting the team to go.”Gerald thought about it. “How many quotas are we given, and how many are we asked to

Juliet sat up straight as he stared at the figure entering the private room.“Speak of the devil. Dad, what are you doing here?”Everyone turned to find Chancellor/Professor Julian Dalton walking into the room with his private protection unit leader, Alan Fu, walking right behind him.“Hello, everyone. Apologies if I'm intruding on your private meeting. I just needed to chat with Gerald for a bit.”Alan Fu bowed respectfully to Head Bodyguard Kevin and Personal Assistant Richard before going down on one knee before Gerald.“Young Master Gerald.”Gerald nodded his head in acknowledgement of the private protection unit subleader. “You’re Subleader Alan Fu, aren't you? I've read reports of you dealing with multiple attacks laid on Chancellor Dalton these past few months. Well done.”Hearing those words of praise from the heir apparent himself filled this ASFB Subleader with a lot of joy.“Thank you, Young Master Gerald!”Kevin then dismissed the subleader as Juliet got up to help open
