Chapter 286: Chapter 238, I’ll Bring it Back for You_1

Vice-executive?

Upon hearing Gomez’s words, Wu Heng felt a stir in his heart.

After so many days, there was finally a result, and he had been appointed to be the Vice-executive.

Gomez looked at his calm expression and said curiously, “You don’t seem excited at all about being a vice-executive. There are probably not many people your age who can take up this position due to their merits.”

Wu Heng let out a suitable smile and said, “I am indeed quite excited.”

“Congratulations!” Gomez added.

Looking at the appointment letter in his hand, he felt a sense of lamentation.

He had read Wu Heng’s resume.

From an ordinary special envoy in Black Stone Town, to a squad leader in Lundham City, and now the Vice-executive in just over a month.

His growth rate was simply too fast.

If he hadn’t been working under him and witnessed the amazing things he had done, he would have thought there was something fishy going on.

Scary!

“Thank you, I owe a lot to your guidance,” said Wu Heng politely.

“Your growth rate is so fast that I can’t even keep up,” Gomez passed the appointment letter to him and continued, “Keep the letter safe. Present it to the new executive when you arrive at your assigned location. You’ll receive the reward for your merits then.”

Assigned location? A new executive?

Won’t he be staying in Lundham City?

“Assigned location?”

“Yes, it’s written here. The location is called Gold and Silver Island,” said Gomez.

Wu Heng took a glance at his appointment letter.

The upper half was the executive’s appointment letter for the vice-executive, while the lower half noted the assignment location.

‘Dazzling Sea – Gold and Silver Island’.

Position: Vice-executive, to start within 30 days.

They had assigned him to a faraway place, even requiring him to set sail.

Momentarily, Wu Heng felt that this appointment seemed more like a burden.

Although he only had half of Lundham City, it was more than enough for his stable development.

He had established a supply exchange with the base in the Zombie World as planned.

Having all his plans disrupted by this sudden reassignment was hard to accept.

“Executive, can I apply to stay here?”

Gomez looked at him and said, “An appointment to be a vice-executive isn’t as simple as being a squad leader. Finding a vacant position is already difficult enough, you can’t be picky.”

Seeing that Wu Heng looked a little upset, he continued to comfort him, “What’s there to worry about? You just have to venture out for a while. When an opportunity presents itself, you can always apply to come back.”

These words somewhat eased Wu Heng’s mood.

He couldn’t give up his position in the association. It could be a lifesaver in crucial times.

As Gomez had said, he could apply to return after a couple of years, or request a transfer to a nearby city to keep an eye on Lundham City.

Wu Heng nodded, received the appointment letter, and went on to ask, “What about the others, executive?”

“Duke will replace you as squad leader. Mata and Galo Berley do not have new assignments, but their merits have been recorded in their records. When the time is right, they can also rise up the ranks,” Gomez handed over another appointment letter, “Give this to Duke. From now on, you’re no longer part of Squad 12. The association will make an official announcement.”

Duke was to be the squad leader.

He was only 14, quite a feat!

Mata and Galo Berley didn’t receive new assignments, presumably the association had their considerations.

Especially for ‘Galo Berley’, who had just joined the squad for two days and already had a second-class merit and two third-class merits. It might be suspected that he was deliberately placed there.

Wu Heng took the appointment letter, “Then I’ll head back first.”

Gomez nodded, “Go prepare. Let me know when you’re leaving, I’ll see you off.”

“Okay!” Wu Heng responded and left the room.

On his way back to the dormitory.

He flagged down two workers and asked them to gather everyone from the squad.

…

City Lord’s Mansion.

Two figures sat in the grand hall.

One was the City Lord, Ereno.

The other was a burly man with shaggy brown hair, dressed in a blue suit that looked filled out as if he was wearing armor underneath.

The maid served drinks for the two of them and was about to leave.

The burly man grabbed her and slid his hand under her skirt.

The maid was startled, but she dared not resist.

She looked for help towards City Lord Ereno, who was not far away. But he merely glanced at her without uttering a word.

The burly man said, “So, you gave up half of your city because of a newly transferred squad leader?”

Ereno sighed and spoke in a helpless tone, “What could I do? Either give up the entire city or give up half of it. What I did minimized the losses.”

“Heh! What will you do next?”

“Help me get it back.”

“You’ve signed an agreement, and he is a squad leader from the association. Do you want me to kill him? How can I take it back without a valid reason?”

Ereno was at a loss for words.

Given the current situation, there weren’t many good options.

Just as the two were immersed in silence.

Tap, tap, tap–!

An urgent sound of footsteps echoed, one of the servants walked in briskly.

Ereno’s already unhappy face turned even darker. “What’s all the fuss about? Have you no manners?”

The terrified servant immediately knelt down to perform the ritual courtesy, whispering, “Master, there’s new information from the association.”

“Oh? What news?”

The servant got up, walked quickly to him, leaned over, and whispered something in his ear.

Ereno, who had been looking rather serious, instantly brightened up and asked, “Really?”

“Yes, it’s true. The news from the association is that the beastman kid will now lead Squad 12.”
