Thinking of Jiang Xia, whose deductive ability was terrifyingly strong—with the emphasis on "terrifying"—Hashimoto Maya could not help but shudder. If he had not seen Uzo's true identity with his own eyes, and if that frightening Aura had not been impossible to fake, he would truly have suspected Jiang Xia of being some terrifying Boss behind the scenes.
"Still, speaking of assignments..." Hashimoto Maya was filled with gloom. "Compared with Murder Jiang Xia, Island Development suits me better... But building an island isn't exactly easy either."
Although the soft opening had already begun, and some promotion had been carried out, successfully setting up several Stages... Hashimoto Maya compared it with his work plan and found that they still seemed quite far from the island Lord Uzo wanted.
"We still haven't found a suitable Magician, the talents we booked are dragging their feet and haven't arrived on the island yet, we haven't bought the dolphins, and we haven't swindled many spokespersons or investors yet..."
The more Hashimoto Maya thought about it, the more he felt as though the weight on his shoulders was about to crush him. "So busy... Why am I this busy? Even when I was cleaning up messes everywhere under Mr. Irish, I wasn't this exhausted..."
After pondering for a moment, he reluctantly understood why. No matter how busy he had been back then, the ones being silenced had only been small fry under him. But now, the one targeted by the Bottom-Ranking Elimination System was himself.
"Back then, I thought that job was too exhausting. But now... Sigh, happiness really does come from comparison."
Kind Mr. Irish, I miss you so much!
While an outlaw quietly reminisced about his gentle former superior,
someone beside him was just as absent-minded as Hashimoto Maya.
