E - Rank Hero In Another World
Chapter 83 - Meeting

A few days had passed since Leo sent his weaponry to Eastfort.

Leo is still trying to catch up with all the information. Including the development of Ferry business direction and also Artra did.

The three, along with Selene, Artemis and Reina were meeting on the first floor of the inn. The point of the meeting is to share information about the current state and also their direction in the future.

For now, the economic state of the Leo group is really in prosperity. In their own cash there are still 28 platinum coins left. Excluding the remaining 4 platinum coins owned by Leo.

After the exchange of information went well, the six of them began to discuss a slightly more sensitive matter.

“I'm sorry if this seems bad but, Mr. Leo. We want to inquire about our payment.” Ferry represented himself and Artra.

“True. As you can see, we have proven all our capabilities. It would be more relaxing if we could.... Youknew. Enjoy a little bit of our hard work.” Added Artra.

Leo understood it too.

Previously, Leo had only asked the two of them to do a simple task as long as Leo left in the village of Rarth. But in reality, they did much better management than Leo could have expected.

Of course Leo cannot pay them the same as before, which is about 1 platinum and 50 gold coins per month. Or about 8 million dollars a month.

If He forces to do so for any reason such as saving the budget, or maximizing the profit for himself, then many adverse effects can occur.

First. The performance of both of them will probably decrease very drastically.

Both of their loyalty to Leo can be questioned in the future. Since the salary earned was too low, it was possible that they would betray in the future

Last. What will be his attitude to their subordinates? It could be, they will start to behave badly and pay their subordinates as low as possible due to a lack of profit for themselves.

Leo understood that even since he was still on earth. Where many workers or subordinates of his father who retreated because of the salary is less appropriate.

Respond to that....

“Take it easy. I will definitely appreciate your hard work without exception, and it is not mere nonsense.” Reply Leo with a smile.

Responding to the answers from Leo, Ferry and Artra also seemed to smile with relief. So did Selene and Artemis.

“As prefix. Artemis. Your work has been good all along. You not only healed many people with your magic, but also changed the atmosphere to be happy with your attitude. That's why I'll increase your pay to 5 platinum coins per month.” Leo said at length.

“Wuaaaa! Leo! You serious?! And finally! All this time I've been holding you back, you know? I think my pay will be running low every day. Thanks!” Reply Artemis with a smile so wide.

Leo then continued his language.

“Then to you, Selene. Your abilities as my sword and arrow have been proven time and time again. For now, I will also put you in the same position as Artemis, which is 5 platinum coins per month.” Obviously Leo.

Selene simply lowered her head while crossing her right arm across her chest. A gesture commonly shown to nobles.

“That's more than enough for me, Mr. Leo.”

“Then for the two of you the case will be different. I said I'd pay you 1 platinum coin and 50 gold coins, right?

Then from today on, each of you will get a fixed payment from me of 8 platinum coins and a bonus profit of 10% from each of your efforts.

You gotit? The better you work, then the bonus you will get will be greater. For example, the store of the moon, for 2 weeks over this earned 112 platinum coins.

Therefore, Artra, you are entitled to get an additional 11 platinum coins from it. But of course, wait until the end of the month until I share it with you. As for the rest, I'll set the allocation for the next month.” Obviously Leo is long.

Artra and Ferry were also seen smiling widely. Both of them look so happy because they get paid that can even be said to be far beyond the pay when working in government offices.

Seeing the reaction of the two young men, Leo could only join in with a satisfied smile.

‘Thus.... I got two new people I can trust. Work well, all of you.’ Leo thought in his heart.

Meanwhile, Reina seemed to be only able to sit still without being able to say much. Every now and then, his gaze looked towards Leo's completely changed face.

‘Dim.... You really have become a very reliable man huh?’ Reina thought with a happy smile. Reina's right hand is seen trying to reach Leo's arm on the table.

When he managed to grab it, Leo only returned with a light smile towards Reina.

But nevertheless....

There was something prodding the two young men who had sharp minds.

“Please wait, Mr. Leo. Then what about you?” Ferry asked with a curious look.

Turning his gaze from Reina towards Ferry, Leo immediately replied.

The group in question is of course the trading business they all built.

Hearing Leo's reply, Ferry and Artra could only put on a look of confusion and fear at the same time.

How not?

“Tu-Master Leo?! You really will only take 5 platinum coins?” Tanya Artra was confused.

“Yeah, haven't I always thrown my money for this group without enjoying it much for myself? Isn't that right, Selene?” Leo asked the snow-white haired woman.

Everyone knows that Selene follows Leo everywhere she goes. With simple exceptions when Leo sleeps and also in the bathroom.

But other than that, Selene must have always been by her Master's side. Never to stay away one bit.

And everyone knows, too, that Selene can be said to be Leo's real right hand. He has at least the same thought and intelligence as Mr. Leo.

It was all thanks to Artemis who always told him whatever he saw.

That way ....

“I've reminded Master to save on expenses for your own sake. Isn't this month Mr Leo even grabbed from a personal pocket?” Ask Selene back.

“Hahaha.... I'm sorry about that. But it is an emergency.”

Selene's reply was like a spear hitting right in the heart of Artra and Ferry. As for Artemis, she just nodded her head as if agreeing to it.

Reina herself seemed confused by what was happening. But the results explain everything enough.

“Master Leo! Forgive us! We both didn't think that Mr Leo would spend his personal money on us!”

“Even have not enjoyed the results of his own hard work.... Forgive us if we ask for...”.

Before the two of them finished his words, Leo immediately kicked the spear that Selene had planted deeper. Stabbed right in their hearts.

“Hahaha.... You don't have to think about that. I have absolutely no problem with this. Now, what's the next language?” Leo asked Selene who quickly understood his point

“For the next, maybe we can discuss about the trade plan with Daeta City. But unfortunately the data on prices in the city is still incomplete. And also about the horse carriage we have..”.

“Hmm.... Also true. Maybe after the payment from Feris arrives I will buy some new train.”

Talks from Leo and Selene have now completely broken the hearts of Ferry and Artra.

Or rather, destroy the darkness that was within.

Can you live a luxurious and relaxing life when even the Master himself does not enjoy the fruits of his labor at all? It even had to be a loss for the sake of this trade group.

While they....

“Mr Leo!” Shouted the two interrupting Leo's conversation with Selene.

“Hmm? What was? There is something you want to ask in this plan?” Ask Leo briefly.

“No.... We...”

“Mr Leo. We promise to work as hard as possible from now on. And also.... Maybe we will also donate..”.

“Hahaha! Don't think about it. That is the responsibility of the group leader isn't it?”

With that answer, Leo managed to seal the ugliness in both of their hearts. Forever put them in a bad feeling towards their Master because of Leo's own attitude.

And of course....

All that....

‘As per plan. By pretending to be in a much worse state than the subordinates, then I can gain their sympathy thoroughly. And finally..’ Leo thought with a satisfied smile.

‘I obtained the perfect pawn, lowering their chances of stabbing me from behind later on drastically. At least, until I'm strong enough to hold all those punches.’

In accordance with Leo's plan.

A similar trick, which he used to slightly brainwash Selene while in custody.
