Chapter 1039: Chapter 371: Advancement to Legendary Mage_2

At that moment, the Void Soldiers on the assembly line collectively revolted, launching indiscriminate attacks on those around them—officers, supervisors, operators, and even janitors were all targeted.

Foam surged in massive quantities, corruption assimilation occurred in every corner of the factory.

Wayne frowned as he watched, suspecting Weiwen was behind it, knowing the project had been canceled, he personally washed away the stains on himself.

He didn’t stop it, only allowing two generals to narrowly escape from the abandoned factory, using this method to further fuel the conflict between the Prussian Upper Echelons and Weiwen.

Foam burst out of the factory, tentacles reaching and extending, gradually enveloping the entire underground base. The researchers in the laboratory weren’t spared either; all were parasitically assimilated.

Wherever the foam submerged, the flesh of the white Star Beasts hardened, transforming into a cement-like solid, anchoring the entire base underground.

This novel method of destroying and concealing bodies was new to Wayne, who coveted the research data in Weiwen’s hands. Before the foam arrived, he took the safe and simply ran away.

By the Cyno River, manor villa.

Having worked through the night, the three sat in the living room. Wayne’s need for sleep had dwindiled more and more; now requiring only one hour per day, he was as lively as ever the next day, striking off their targets for that night’s inspection from the map.

They only found Weiwen and Beck today; two more Divine Oracle High Priest strongholds were yet to be uncovered.

Beside the sofa, Nelson, having pulled an all-nighter, struggled to stay awake and, seeing his sister brimming with energy, said enviously, "Regina, aren’t you tired?"

"Not at all, I could even go without sleeping now."

Why sleep much in life when eternal rest comes after death!

Regina, having died once, was practically living as if half-dead now, needing very little sleep, she slept occasionally only to maintain a human routine out of respect.

Usually, she passed her time working away, one of Wayne’s most outstanding underlings.

Of the three secretaries, Regina was the most diligent; she even managed without mere grass.

Nelson’s envy deepened, knowing his sister’s achievements were all due to their Naturalist Knight boss. He nudged his sister’s shoulder, attempting to recommend her for a job subtly.

She was so eager to advance!

Regina opened her mouth, unsure how to explain to her sister, but seeing the urgency in her eyes, she steeled herself and asked, "Boss, what do you think of my sister?"

"What do you mean?" Wayne asked, putting down the pen in his hand.

"My sister is very capable."

Regina patted Nelson on the back, who immediately puffed out her chest and stood tall, ready for a call to action.

Wayne frowned, "What does her being capable have to do with me? She’s your sister; you can’t set her up."

"You’ve misunderstood me, boss. I meant to ask if Lundan’s library is hiring new staff? If so, since my sister is one of our own, perhaps consider her first," Regina explained.

"Regina, you should know my hiring standards; the library doesn’t need your sister," Wayne shook his head.

"It’s not like she wouldn’t be useful. I need an assistant; boss, let me take her," Odilia suddenly spoke up.

Wayne looked at Odilia in surprise, her candid gaze making Odilia somewhat embarrassed, but thinking of the glamorous Saina, she bit her lip and returned the gaze, sticking to her stance.

"No way, I can’t let her work for you!"

Regina was furious. Her clean and innocent sister, under Odilia’s influence, might just turn into something boss like in a few days.

Regina: You’re timid yourself, why drag my sister into this!

Odilia: It’s her own desire to advance. What does that have to do with me?

Nelson, completely clueless about what they were arguing about, tilted her head towards Wayne, trying to act cute to land a job and join the Naturalist Knight’s entourage.

She saw the change in her sister and though envious did not verbalize it, just knowing that if her sister could do it, she certainly could as well.

You know nothing!

Wayne rolled his eyes. Regina had earned her strength at the cost of her life, which he couldn’t guarantee would happen with Nelson, turning her into a Resentful Spirit.

Even if it were possible, he couldn’t bring himself to do it!

Without a Resentful Spirit contract, if Nelson wanted to advance, she’d have to take the path of Void corruption.

That was even worse, and he was even less willing to proceed.

Wayne waved his hand, indicating no intention of hiring, and said to Nelson, "You have to rely on yourself, there’s no such thing as a free lunch in this world. The painful price Regina has paid for her success is unimaginable to you. That said, rely on yourself."

Nelson was confused, wondering what "painful price" meant, not noticing any changes in her sister.

Just then, realizing that both Regina and Odilia were silent, she covered her mouth with her hand, whispering in her sister’s ear, "Regina, you didn’t..."

"You, you noticed?"

Regina’s smile was strained, tinged with bitterness, fearing her sister would be saddened by the truth.

"You really don’t take care of yourself."

"..."

What nonsense, the boss isn’t that kind of person!

Regina, pinching her face as if it were a mirror, twisted hard, "The boss isn’t planning to hire new staff; I can’t help you. Go home and inherit your estate, remain the noble lady you are."

"Miss Nelson, are you interested in applying to be my assistant?"

Shut up, don’t speak!"

"Just say it!"

The living room grew noisy. Wayne picked up the map and retreated to the study, the young girls wanted to improve, approaching him. He was powerless to assist but didn’t mind helping them find another job.

A major leadership change was imminent in Naturalism Church’s upper echelons. Saina might need a secretary.

Odilia’s secretary could be left out; the artistic girl plus Succubus Secretary combination already had enough appeal, no need for clique-forming or fancy tricks.
