We’ll have to deploy high-yield weapons, at least at the level of a thermobaric bomb.” Black Noire spoke as if he were mentioning something perfectly ordinary.
Morgan: *Gulp*…
Is this the superhero world?
You talk about firing missiles as casually as eating or drinking.
“Then we’ll dismantle all pipelines within a ten-mile radius and evacuate everyone within a twenty-mile radius.
According to the calculations from the back end just now, the losses will reach tens of billions.” “This will be charged to our department’s account…” On her first day as Minister, she really needed a veteran to guide her; he was so familiar with the procedures!
Morgan, who was pretending to listen seriously, felt something was wrong as she continued listening!
“What?!
This money is charged to the department’s account?
On what grounds!” Doesn’t that mean on my first day at work, my salary for the next few years is already gone?!
Dammit!
The department’s money is my money.
Deducting from the department is taking money out of my pocket!
How can this be allowed to happen?
“Because if the Doppelganger hadn’t kept feeding them, the situation wouldn’t be this troublesome.
This is a procedural failure.” Dammit!
From the first moment Morgan saw the Doppelganger’s file, she felt that thing was a liability.
While it was a good deal to hire ten thousand ‘immortals’ for one salary, if they encountered a Tumor Beast with growth attributes, wouldn’t they just feed the Tumor Beast until it became a god-tier boss?
Farming a BOSS in the early game?
After going back, no matter what, she couldn’t be greedy for this cheap labor anymore.
She still had to hire people with brains.
Today was still manageable, but what if they fed someone to godhood next time?
Being penny-wise and pound-foolish!
“Today is my first day on the job.
Is there a newbie waiver?” Morgan looked at Black Noire with an expectant face.
“How could such a thing exist…” Black Noire glanced at Morgan and shook his head, thinking to himself: Cleanup Minister—a position not even a dog would take—and you got it.
You really thought you could rake it in?
You’re far too naive!
Looking at the astronomical fine, Morgan thought of something and asked: “Black Noire, how did the previous Minister leave?” “Oh, it was similar to today.
Do you remember the mass evacuation of Godokin City three years ago?” “I remember.
If Godolkin University wasn’t so remote, it almost would have been included in the evacuation line.” “He was in the same situation as today.
A procedural error where a Tumor Beast was fed to godhood by the Doppelganger.” “He had bad luck.
A city-wide evacuation left the department with a trillion in debt.
He couldn’t pay it off in his lifetime, so he sold his shares, went bankrupt, and resigned…” “Then he was really miserable.
At least for us now, the compensation isn’t particularly much…
Wait!!
He went bankrupt, so who pays his debt!” “How much debt does our department have now?” “1.25 trillion!” Black Noire spread his hands.
Holy crap, I was wondering why Edgar so easily approved 5 billion for me to renovate the base.
Turns out he was afraid I’d settle the score later!
Giving me 5 billion to make me shoulder a 1.25 trillion dollar debt?
This department’s debt is higher than the annual GDP of some small countries, right??!” Dammit!!!
Edgar, the ‘world-class figure’ and’shaking the world’ you mentioned referred to the debt!
Morgan wanted to fly back right now and throttle that old geezer!
On the 87th floor of Vought, Edgar suddenly felt a surge of malice directed at him and broke into a cold sweat.
That girl Morgan…
does she know I screwed her over?
Should he go out and hide for a couple of days?
…
“Why should the previous guy’s business be counted on my head?
And why is there an extra 250 billion in debt?” “Departmental debt is definitely inherited.
Vought’s credit cannot go bankrupt.
Did no one tell you?” …Morgan only knew there was an annual salary and thought she could take from both the department and her salary, but it turns out the annual salary is used to pay off the department’s debt!
“As for that extra 250 billion, it’s because the previous Minister also entered the game with debt.
He wanted to pay off the debt and make money, so he was stingy in all aspects and chose to heavily rely on the Doppelganger.” “After his bankruptcy liquidation, the department’s income decreased even further, so we could only continue using the Doppelganger.” “Fortunately, Tumor Beast remains can be exchanged for money to pay salaries, otherwise our logistics would have all run away!” “We’ve been patching things up and barely made it to today.” After listening, Morgan felt like she had taken over one hell of a mess, and then asked in disbelief: “Our department already owes 1.25 trillion; can we even owe more this time?” Hearing this, Black Noire also felt it was unlikely.
“It’s probably difficult.
How about we just seal this place with cement and pretend nothing happened today?
Maybe it will blow up in a few years or decades.” “But it won’t have anything to do with us then!” …As expected of you, Black Noire!
Planting a doomsday for future generations, huh?
Too insane!
Wait…
the people before her wouldn’t have done something like that, right!!!
It feels like exactly the kind of thing they would do!
Please no…!
