Shadow King Chronicles: Building a Kingdom From Behind the Scenes
Chapter 19: RE-ORGANIZATION
the sound of shoe steps was heard along the hallway of the second floor of the La-Sa guild's trading office.that night, a 40-year-old man walked down the aisle to the office of the president of the La-Sa Guild. The man was Nimitz.
who's Nimitz? he is the manager of two integrated business houses of the La-Sa Guild. Acacia luxury restaurant and Jasmine inn. Originally he was a bankrupt merchant who volunteered to become an employee of an Acacia restaurant.
finally, due to his exceptional work ethic and good performance, he slowly rose through the ranks and at his peak he became a manager at both companies.
at least that's what's on paper.
Nimitz is the name of the alter given by Issac. His real name was Hermann.he was born and raised in a village that was on the border between Grand Aria and Heinz.
he was just a child born to a family of farmers. but his life is not bad. both even though simple at least his family is well enough. they can eat three days once. if they are sick they can seek treatment in the temple.it is a soothing life.
until finally at the age of ten a civil war erupted in the Grand Aria empire.His father and older brother were forced to follow the war by the Baron warriors who governed his village. it was a very protracted civil war, until finally they were rumored to have died on the battlefield.
two years later he is also recruited by the Baron warriors and plunges into the battlefield.Saking his mother and older sister in the village.Unexpectedly despite his average fighting talent but ability in organizing food supplies, the, weaponry, as well as managing the troops are very good so that the lyrics by the military officials.
he was eventually withdrawn from the volunteer army and put into the regular army.
after the civil war was over he stayed for four years in the capital. At the age of 22 he returned to his village in the Baron area. what greeted him was a tragedy.
she gets word that her mother and sister were kidnapped by the Baron's son and raped and eventually killed. Hermann who heard that without a second thought went straight to the Baron's son in the Baron's mansion and tried to kill him.
but the plan failed. Hermann did not succeed in killing him.in both Lantos whose majority of the country still uses the monarchy system, the existence of nobles is something that is considered noble.trying to harass them is an unforgivable sin.
he eventually ran away from the empire and lived loosely in the Randall region.had no money and no job, he ended up living from one way to another. sometimes robbing to make ends meet or stealing other people's merchandise.
until finally Issac came to offer him a job.at first he was skeptical.who is this child? he may be eight years old.
but after seeing the true power of Issac, he was finally scared and willing to work for Issac.This was the best decision he had ever taken
after that thanks to his hard work he was able to achieve extraordinary success. Issac entrusted the two businesses to be managed by him and eventually became as big as it is now.
in addition, he was also the right-hand man of Issac in selecting and recruiting La-Sa Guild employees and of course, employees assigned to become spies.
in the end he vowed to continue standing by Issac's side even if he had to sacrifice his life.

inside the office, he saw Issac sitting on a chair reading and signing documents that piled up. There was a black circle in his eyes.while sitting next to him there was a waiter and private secretary of Issac, Olivia, who was also there, who was helping Issac ascertain some documents and stamp them.
" ah Nimitz you've come. Come here, I have a duty for you." Issac who noticed Nimitz's presence immediately took his eyes off the documents.
although Issac tried to smile, Nimitz could clearly see the fatigue on his face.he approached Issac and received some paper taken from the drawer of Issac's desk. seeing the instructions written on the paper, Nimitz was stunned.does he really trust this task to him?
Issac who saw the doubt on Nimitz's face finally said, "Nimitz, I believe in your abilities. I'm sure when you went down to the battlefield you used to be involved several times in gathering information, so I'm assigning this to you. After all, you're the only one I can rely on right now."
hearing his master's expectations, he couldn't refuse this task.Honestly he wasn't sure either but he would still give it a try. After confirming some other things he finally went out of the office.but before that, " mr. Issac is not good at putting pressure on yourself in a job like this. You'd better take a few moments to rest."
hearing that, Issac smiled wryly.
" i don't want to hear from people who only sleep two hours a day."
Nimitz chuckled and finally walked out of Issac's office.

the instructions that Issac gave Nimitz were very simple but very difficult to do. The formation of an intelligence organization.he was asked to write down his concept of an ideal intelligence organization and can be used efficiently and effectively.
although Nimitz was not very experienced, he and several others who also worked for Issac but were recorded on paper as subordinates of Nimitz, immediately worked on this project.

one week later a secret meeting was held in the basement of the La-Sa guild office.
of course this is a meeting of the formation of intelligence organizations. not only Issac and Nimitz who have attended. there are at least 20 people who attended the meeting. they consist of various professions. Traders, who are, the manager of one of the Guild-owned businesses, a senior adventurer, and others.
the point is they were Issac's confidants as well. Eventually the meeting began.
When Nimitz presented his idea, many finally raised their hands calling for disapproval and nodding and defending Nimitz's idea. Issac also sometimes entered as well but overall he did not intervene much.
of course he did it deliberately, he tried to create a discussion, which although fierce, but also productive and constructive. ideas were poured into this meeting and various suggestions and inputs were also accommodated and taken into consideration.
in the end, this meeting officially ended for two weeks with the inauguration of a new intelligence organization whose hierarchical structure is clear and the tasks and functions of each section.
this event became a historic step for Issac, because with this organization, he would not only plant his influence in the kingdom of Heinz but almost the entire continent of Lantos.
this intelligence organization is called VIESTA
