"The hell kind of a trick is that?" John shouted
"Thursday morning it is." Mr. Ran nodded his head in approval. "I hope for the best from you... Starting salary is 160k. Tuesday is payday and the bank is a 10 minute walk from here so staff has an extended lunch break to handle any banking."
John saw his grin and stayed still for a moment. "Ready" He said before putting his hand into the hat.
"I do not tolerate tardiness." Mr. Ran said. Makoto then spoke up "If Mr. Parker can present us the results we seek, then I'm sure some tardiness is excusable. Especially with our finances."...
As these phone calls went on, Makoto, Akira and Mr. Ran's smiles grew, although Mr. Ran seemed more pleased than happy. Peter had a strange feeling that Mr. Ran might be more of a hardass than J.J.J. "Mr. Parker, you said you only had one Bachelor's? You would've fulfilled the qualifications for...
"In my opinion, such credentials would be good enough for an immediate hire... I'm curious to know what research you have performed with such brilliant scientists." Mr. Ran said
John walked forward, curious to see what Mirage had in store.
"That is the main purpose of this company Mr. Parker." Mr. Ran said "While Mr. Takanuchi is here to look into the laboratory, he is not the one in charge." Mr. Ran spoke with a sensation of authority, and it was clear in the way he talked that he seemed offended by Peter's remarks. Akira...
"Too political?" He said confused. "Alright... if you say so" He said with a sensation of caution yet... intrigue.
"Mr. Parker." An Indonesian man said as he stood up from behind the desk "I'm Dwi Dongoran. If it is too much for you to pronounce you may call me Mr. Ran." He shook out his hand...
Makoto turned his head to Peter, hearing his voice. A moment of realization before the door closed appeared on his face. A few minutes later a young girl stepped out of the office along with the receptionist "Mr. Parker, the boss is ready to see you."
"Like what?" his eyebrow perked up
"Ah, very well. Please take a seat and we will see if the boss can interview you shortly." The receptionist said. She then stood up and walked to the office door behind her. Opening the door, for a moment, Peter saw Makoto in a wheelchair, his father and another man sitting behind a desk. The...
When Peter arrived, the main reception room was almost empty except for the receptionist. She spoke with a full mouth "Name?" She said as she put down her rather large sandwich.
"I'm trying to avoid him as best as I can." John said "He's not someone I would welcome."
"Thank you very much. We look forward to seeing you there. Have a pleasant day!" She then hung up
"Hard to stop going when you're involved in such things. With my powers I was constantly sent on missions like Makoto."
"Oh no, the evil version is here. He's the native of this world. He goes by Makoto Takanuchi." John said. Mirage at least recalled seeing the name in the news having to do...
"Aaah you are familiar with the fighting style. I do have a weapon but I fight much more easily with my mere hands." He took his gourd and opened it. He flipped it upside down to find there was no liquid inside "Dry as the desert."
"I wish it was unnecessary. Then it turns out to be about the end of the world or secret organizations or something... then it gets even more annoying." Sasha sighed
"Alright then. I will schedule you for that day. Is there anything else I can help you with Mr. Parker?"
"Just a simple hero...
