Chapter 162: Chapter 162

I’m A Quadrillionaire chapter 162 “Mr. Lidell!”

The two greeted at the same time.

“Paul! How’s your injury? When will you be discharged?” David walked up and asked.

“The doctor says I can leave in a couple of days. What do you need me to do, Mr. Lidell? I’m fit to leave the hospital now, actually, I’m already fully recovered!” Paul replied.

“No need. Listen to the doctor, a couple of days isn’t going to make much difference anyway. How’s the security department you’re building going? How many people can you recruit?”

“We’ve already got around a dozen people confirmed, but there are a few that’s still considering the offer! It’s probably because the benefits feel too good to be true. If we can have the current employees tell them the situation, I’m sure more people will join us.”

“Alright. Then call over those that have been confirmed. Make sure you screen their characters; I don’t want malicious people working in my security department.”

“Don’t worry, Mr. Lidell! The people I reached out to are all reliable folks. We might be mercenaries, but our main job has always been to protect our employer instead of taking on assassination missions. If anything, we’re mortal enemies with those mercenaries that kill, since their goal is to assassinate the people we’re supposed to protect.”

“That’s good, then. Make sure they’re good people. There are laws in this country, and it’ll be a hassle to explain it to the authorities if we end up recruiting an international fugitive. These people you recruit will fall under your leadership. You’re the head of the security department.”

“Understood! Thank you, Mr. Lidell!”

“We can start with an initial salary of ten million a year for the department head, bonuses will be calculated differently. The other employees can start with a million a year, and I’ll grant a pay raise according to capability. What do you think?” David asked.

Paul and the other two’s eyes widened in disbelief at David’s suggestion.

‘An initial salary of one million a year for normal employers and ten million for Paul as Head of Department?’

The twelve of them had only made over ten million despite working abroad for so many years. Not to mention that this was money they had risked their lives to earn.

Yet, Paul could make that much money in just a year.

Not to mention that the situation within the country was going to be much better than it was abroad.

It was common to stay up for a couple of days without a wink of sleep when they worked on missions abroad. They danced on the line between life and death during those missions, not knowing when they would take their last breath.

In comparison to that, the situation within the country was essentially heaven.

“Mr… Mr. Lidell! Isn’t that a bit too much?” Paul asked.

This felt like too good a pay for mercenaries like them. “Not at all! I’ll raise the pay if you do your job well.” “Then I’ll thank my brothers in arms in advance, Mr. Lidell! Thank you!” Paul said gratefully.

Then David turned to Wayne and Gordon. “I have a mission for you two.”

“Yes, Mr. Lidell!” Wayne and Gordon said at the same time.

“Give me your bank account details later, I’ll transfer five million to both of you first as your annual pay.

G o home and settle your families, then go to Springfield and protect the general manager of East League International, Pearl Warmer. She’s about to make a move and I’m afraid someone might have their eyes o n her.”

“Yes, Mr. Lidell! But five million is too much, the basic pay of one million is enough!”

“I’ve already decided to give you five million so just accept it. You two will be considered senior employees once more people join the security department, it’s only right you get better pay.”

“Thank you, Mr. Lidell!” They did not reject David again.

David left after transferring the money to Wayne and Gordon’s accounts, but not before he told Paul to get the department running.

With East League International Investments’ increasing number of businesses, underlying dangers were bound to exist, and David needed the security department to get up and running as soon as possible.

Paul and the other two shared a look after David left. They understood how each other felt.

They wished the twelve of them had returned to the country and met David instead of accepting their last mission.

That way they would have been able to fight and relax together.
