Dead and bursting with coins, still a good employee!
Just as it was almost time to clock out.
Brian was skiving off with a newspaper in hand.
Ivan and the rest had already caught the escaped girl and were on their way back.
Rushing back overnight wasn’t because they were in a hurry,
but because Ivan’s credit card had maxed out.
Shi San was eating him into poverty.
If they stayed any longer, he figured they’d end up washing dishes abroad to pay off debts.
Actually, these guys had money, but after getting their hands on some cash, Ivan bought a lot of male celebrities’ personal items—you know, the usual stuff—and then there was the daily splurging.
As for Glenn, his money wasn’t wasted; it all went on women.
Due to taxation issues, people here mostly didn’t have the habit of saving, or rather, didn’t make a deliberate effort to save.
This left Brian somewhat amused and perplexed.
The office clock chimed.
Brian stretched lazily, about to head to the beach to feed and start his routine enhancement work.
his ears twitched slightly as he looked toward the office door.
The office door opened.
Team Leader Susan came in with a dark face, leading a somewhat strange woman in.
"What’s up, Team Leader?"
At the office, he still preferred to call her Team Leader Susan.
Susan didn’t speak; instead, she walked up to Brian, stretched out her hand to his waist, and pinched him hard.
Not to say, it was ticklish.
Watching the skin on Brian’s waist being twisted 360 degrees without any reaction from him, Susan couldn’t help but kick him, "Can’t you just play along?"
It was the first time Brian had seen Susan in such a girly posture.
He immediately feigned a grimace and cried out in pain, "Ouch, ouch, ouch~"
Only then did Susan let go somewhat satisfied, and then, feeling a bit sorry, she rubbed the spot she had pinched, muttering, "Brian, you have to go on a trip again."
Brian finally understood the whole story.
It turned out that at the end of the year, White Elephant Country (India) had sent out invitations to many countries as usual, to attend a ceremony recognizing newcomers.
It was really just a show of muscle and a chance to boost their presence.
Before the third Blood Moon had arrived, this kind of job was often left to the older generation of official organizations in various continents; it was also a chance for a resource and benefit exchange.
With the Blood Moon coming again, and with Brian being a rising star, along with the matter regarding Benjamin, they decided as a consolation to let him go through a meeting.
This was a good thing.
Susan was mad because Brian was going to leave again.
Brian’s heart stirred.
This was a good opportunity to deal with a bunch of obsessions in Japan.
He quickly hugged Susan, comforting her, "Team Leader, you’re like the moon above my head, wherever I am, whenever I see the moon, I see you. And isn’t Shi San here? I’ll come back as soon as I’m done."
The strange woman who had come in with Susan made a disgusted face on the side, "Brian, you make me feel greasy."
Hiding on the side and secretly enjoying the drama, Glenn only then noticed someone behind Susan.
Can’t help it, Susan was nearly 1.8 meters tall just with her shoes.
After taking various reagents, she had become a bit more voluptuous, and ordinary women seemed somewhat petite next to her.
It seemed she noticed Glenn’s gaze.
This strange woman, sticking her head out, glared at Glenn, "What are you looking at!"
Brian also looked at Susan, puzzled, "Why does Linda seem a bit odd after coming back?"
Yes, this strange woman was Linda, whom he had brought back.
Her appearance had changed quite a bit, but the biological scent was mostly the same, just slightly altered.
Glenn’s eyes widened, "Boss Brian, you’re saying this is Linda?"
Looking at the woman in front of him, tall and about twenty-four or twenty-five years old, Glenn thought he had heard wrong.
Wasn’t Linda just a fifteen-year-old girl?
It’s only been a few days!
Do kids develop this fast nowadays?
Linda, seeing Glenn’s surprised expression, hee-heed and made a face at him, then ducked back behind Susan.
Faced with Brian’s questioning gaze, Susan finally reacted.
She picked up Linda, who was hiding behind her, like picking up a little chicken, explaining, "The Beastification Reagent Linda was injected with is a bit special; it has a cell-catalyzing effect, so after absorbing enough energy, she became the way she is now."
Hearing this, Brian’s eyebrows furrowed slightly, "Are there any side effects?"
Susan shook her head:
"I asked the sequence staff at the base, they said this is a normal phenomenon, her body condition is much better than before with ample energy.
The only problem is, for the next while, she might have some uncontrollable changes in her personality due to hormonal changes..."
Brian: "..Okay, I can see that."
Linda was now somewhat lively.
She dejectedly held her small buns, "Brian, why didn’t these grow bigger too..."
The room went silent.
Glenn reacted the quickest.
He grabbed his things and ran outside, "I’m off work first, my Ma made pizza for me..."
Old Hardenn and the female clerks also found an excuse, disregarding Brian’s fate, and disappeared from the office.
Linda also realized she had misspoken.
She stuck out her tongue, "Sister Susan, you guys go ahead, I’ll wait outside."
Linda scurried out excitedly.
