“What do you mean?” Baylor asked Luna. Both he and Henricks respected her input in most decisions after all she was the chief of the Freedom Fighter R&D department.
However, once she gained their attention, Luna did not speak about what they listened to her for but things bothering her, “I see none of the top brass is here to check on Wyatt since they are all sure he is not going to make it.”
Listening to Luna, Henricks frowned understanding what she was implying. Previously, everyone showed a lot of interest in Wyatt and his wealth but now that they know Wyatt was on his deathbed in a coma while incubating a Plague Egg, they suddenly lost all of their interest in him. That was natural after all others did not have a personal interest in Wyatt like Luna and Baylor did but Henricks did not understand why Luna would bring this up now.
Seeing the question mark on both Henricks and Baylor’s faces, Luna went on to explain, “Seeing how none of them are interested in Wyatt, I want Wyatt as a part of my R&D department?”
Having said that Luna stared at Baylor and asked, “You have a problem with that?”
“I will allow it,” As much as Baylor would like to take Wyatt under his wing, his public relations department was not peaceful. Just last night, they had a bloody battle with the Paw clan over the rights of a small boutique store. Such a thing was common for the public relations department. So, Baylor felt it was not a good fit for Elleen’s son. Considering Wyatt’s knack for innovation, he felt that the R&D department’s desk job was a good fit for Wyatt.
Listening to Balyor, a bright smile formed on Luna’s face but it soon vanished feeling a presence approach, it was the demigod in charge of Freedom Fighter’s finances. As he neared the trio, he said, “It appears I chose the right time to give an expense report. Otherwise, the finance department would have lost Dalton Wyatt to the R&D department.”
“Old man, Wyatt is mine. If dare to covet him believe it or not I will use the very numbers you love to strangle you in your dreams,” Luna blatantly threatened the demigod in charge of finance telling him to back off as Wyatt was hers and hers alone.
“…” the demigod in charge of finance went silent upon hearing Luna’s threat. Not that he took offense from her threat but he was genuinely worried for his life. Despite being a mere Card King, Luna remained the badest and untamed bitch in the whole Freedom Fighters.
She was nothing like the good girl that she introduced herself to Wyatt in Sky Blossom City, she was the polar opposite of it. She was still an introvert virgin researcher but with Psycho and Sociaopath prefixes to it. She hoped to lose one of those titles now that Wyatt had joined Freedom Fighters.
Her subordinates and colleagues were genuinely scared of her and worried for themselves around her. If Lorenzo knew of this side of Luna he would wonder if he ever knew his granddaughter whom he was very proud of. After all, out of all his children and grandchildren, only Luna achieved high achievements in the field of research and array mastery like him.
“Henricks, she is doing it again tell her to stop,” the demigod in charge of finance complained to Henricks. To which Henricks sternly said, “Luna, can you not go around threatening your colleagues.”
“It was not a threat, I telling him his future,” Luna uttered but feeling Henricks’ stern glare, she apologized to the demigod in charge of finance, “I am sorry, I am just over-compensating for seven decades of suppressed individuality and idealogy.” She referred to her old life as a perfect granddaughter. Now this was some rich people’s excuse.
“…” Baylor was lost in thoughts looking at Luna’s face, as whenever she spoke of Wyatt her face had an uncanny resemblance to Sansa’s face. He has been noticing this for quite some time now and he did not know if he should feel sorry for Wyatt or happy for him. If not for his heart having only Elleen in it, his married life with Sansa could have been one of the best experiences of his life. Despite all her quirks, Sansa was the best wife a man could ask for, it was an undeniable truth.
“Expense report could have waited till our daily meeting. However, since you are here searching for me, I guess it couldn’t wait. So why don’t you stop making small talk and tell me what is the matter?” Henricks reminded the demigod in charge of finance to do what he was here for instead of wasting time arguing over which department Wyatt would join. Wyatt wasn’t even a part of the Freedom Fighters even if he was it was up to him to join whichever department he wanted.
“Yes, about the expense report. After treating Baylor’s injured subordinates as of now we have officially utilized all of our funds. Even the ones that we reclaimed and gathered from the other departments have been exhausted,” the demigod in charge of finance announced, shocking Henricks, Baylor, and Luna.
“But during the last meeting did you not say we still had a month or two before we exhausted our funds?” Baylor asked the demigod in charge of finance immediately because no money meant no more necessary medical treatment for his injured subordinates.
“I did but you proved me wrong. When calculating the data I did not expect your war with Matron to go so one-sided. Not only did you lose many subordinates to Paw Clan but those who are alive all had major internal injuries or lost a limb or two. It would still be manageable if it was just a few dozen of them but we are talking about a whole unit here. What the fuck are you guys from Public relations even doing? Did guys forget how to fight?”
