“So, this is the top talent you found and hired for your boss?”
In the familiar courtyard, Laken and Bolt stood side by side, surrounded by a group of orcs from the Thieves Guild. The atmosphere was subtle and tense. Leading the group was none other than Sally, the current president of the Thieves Guild. Her eyes moved between Bolt and Laken, with a look of surprise and slight dissatisfaction on her face.
"I was wondering who it was, it turns out to be the brat from the Alves family." She snorted coldly, with a hint of sarcasm in her tone.
Electrolux, the eldest son of the Alvis family, looked at Sally coldly, with a hint of disdain at the corner of his mouth.
"As the president of the Thieves Guild, I didn't expect you to come out and work honestly." His words were full of provocation. Sally naturally knew this young master of a high and mighty family. A few years ago, she might have respectfully addressed him as "Master Electrolux", but now she was dismissive of him. The influence of the Electrolux family was gradually declining, and the downtown area was completely out of their control.
"Hey, hey, isn't this the eldest son of the Alves family? I haven't seen you for a year, and you're so depressed? If I had known I was going to work for you, I would have said I would never come here." Sally's ridicule made Alex point at her angrily. Before he finished speaking, Bolt said in a deep voice: "Enough, Sally, our boss is not this guy, he is just the boss's subordinate."
Sally was a little surprised. How could the eldest son of the Alves family fall to the point of working for others? She wondered in her heart, who on earth has such a great reputation? At this moment, a handsome figure came into her sight, which instantly brightened her eyes and made her secretly sigh in her heart that there was such a good-looking man in the world.
Merlin walked forward, smiled slightly, and apologized to everyone present: "Sorry, I'm a little late, Bolt, is this the employee you found for me?"
Bolt nodded, then shook his head, "More than that." As he spoke, he moved aside his broad body, and a large group of orcs appeared behind him.
Among this group of orcs, there were both young and old, and even children and women. They were ragged and wearing worn-out clothes, standing in the yard looking dazed and uneasy, with expressions of fear and expectation on their faces.
The corner of Electrolux's mouth twitched slightly, "Is this the employee you are looking for?"
Merlin looked at the group of people, his face showing satisfaction, and grinned: "Great, Bolt, this is exactly the employee I need!"
Electrolux was dumbfounded, staring at Merlin blankly, as if he couldn't believe his ears.
Bolt said seriously, "Boss, I can guarantee that these people are from good families and are the people you need."
Merlin approached the group of orcs and saw that they retreated a little due to his approach. He couldn't help but feel warm in his heart. After all, this was the first time they saw such a handsome human.
Sally's face turned slightly red. She lowered her head uncomfortably and asked Bolt quietly, "Who is this handsome boy?"
Bolt folded his arms and smiled as he replied, "Our boss."
Merlin squatted down, looked tenderly at a little cat girl standing in the crowd, and rubbed her head: "A child this young has to work? Little girl, where are your parents?"
The little girl said timidly: "Duo'er, Duo'er doesn't know where my parents are either."
Bolt sighed and added, "Duo'er is an orphan who grew up eating at many people's homes."
Merlin looked at Duoduo's thin body and couldn't help but sigh.
At this time, Duoduo said in a panic, "Big brother, don't underestimate Duoer. Duoer is actually very capable. Duoer Duoer can do a lot of things. Please don't abandon Duoer!"
Merlin rubbed Duo'er's head and said, "Don't worry, brother didn't say he didn't want Duo'er."
At this time, a slightly older child behind him plucked up the courage to ask, "I heard from Uncle Xiong that if you come here, you can get a job. Is that true?"
"I'm small, I don't need any wages, just a guarantee of having enough food to eat is enough," another child continued.
"I used to be involved in a gang. Can someone like me work here?"
Merlin listened to the noises of these people without getting annoyed, and said firmly: "Don't worry, everyone, you can all get a job here, which can definitely meet the daily needs of your family. I want everyone here, regardless of gender or age."
As soon as Merlin finished speaking, the group of orcs burst into warm cheers.
But Alex walked up to Merlin with a worried look on his face. "Boss, are you sure you want to hire these people? It's ok to hire young men and women, but what can these old people and children do? Besides, there are people from the Thieves Guild here. The half-fox woman is Sally, the leader of the Thieves Guild."
Merlin listened to Alex's words and looked at Sally, who exuded charm and maturity. Sally naturally heard what Alex said, but she didn't mind it. Instead, she greeted Merlin openly.
Merlin walked forward, looked at Bolt, then looked at Sally: "Wouldn't you like to introduce me?"
"Sally, the leader of the Thieves Guild, is the boss. I want to ask her to be the security guard of our mall. What do you think?" Bolt asked nervously.
"You are a genius, Bolt."
Merlin patted Bolt's broad shoulders with satisfaction, walked to Sally and extended his hand, "Hello, Sally, welcome to join our Merlin Chamber of Commerce family."
Sally held Merlin's hand and was surprised to hear what he said. "Merlin Chamber of Commerce? Is it the Chamber of Commerce established by Leo Merlin, the president of the student union of the Arcane Academy and the founder of the Beggar's Chicken Braised Food Shop and the Mixue Time Beverage Shop? You, you are Mr. Merlin?"
Merlin smiled and replied, "If there is no second Merlin, then you are talking about me."
Oh my god! This is like hugging an absolutely huge thigh! Sally looked at Merlin excitedly. You have to know that Merlin is different from the waste like the previous student union president Alex. He is one of the real spokespersons of the Arcane Academy. Those who live in the Arcane City are very familiar with Merlin's power and reputation.
Sally never imagined that one day they would be able to work in an "official" background. The Arcane Academy is the tacit official authority of the Arcane City, but this is something that neither the Arcane City nor the Arcane Academy acknowledges.
There still isn't enough publicity, Merlin couldn't help but sigh. He had clearly spent a lot of gold coins to promote his political image, and even distributed a lot of posters with his image on them. But right under his "nose", in the lower city of the Arcane City, these orcs didn't even recognize him.
