Lying in the hospital bed, Joey felt increasingly uneasy; a pair of eyes, no less powerful than those of a female ghost, were staring at him.
"She's infiltrated the castle?"
Joey suddenly woke up, opening his eyes which he hadn't wanted to open.
Sergeant Medes?
What came into view was Sergeant Medes's enormous, swollen head, a fat pig with its anger level saturated, and his eyes seemed to already be filled with "killing intent."
"Uh...hehe..."
"Hello, Sergeant Medes, you've come to see me too?"
Joey smiled broadly. This was no time to linger on Catherine's scent. This was a matter that needed to be handled carefully; he couldn't afford to disappoint his subordinate.
Having worked myself, I know that having a boss like me, who is terrible at managing subordinates, can turn a good, motivated employee into a rebellious one. That's not a good thing.
It was only when Joey went too far that he realized Medes' head was indeed comparable to that of Zhu Bajie (Pigsy).
"Zhu Ganglie, isn't my long-lost brother Sergeant Melder?"
"Get lost! We don't have such an ugly pig brother in our family!"
Zhu Ganglie rejected Joey's words with a look of disgust.
Although Zhu Bajie did not show up, it did not hinder their communication.
Even Medes was criticized for being ugly by Zhu Bajie at this point, which shows that the bearded man was indeed a bit ruthless.
"I'm not okay, dear Captain Joey!"
When Medes spoke, his swollen face twitched, indicating that his facial nerves were also seriously damaged.
"I know, they're both bearded. He went too far. I'll talk to him about it next time we meet!"
Although Joey said he wanted to compensate Sergeant Medes, if he could alleviate Sergeant Medes' negative emotions and shift the focus of the conflict, he could still make an exception for the bearded man, since the bearded man wasn't here right now.
"Sam has already told me everything!"
Medes' negative emotions did not lessen at all; he continued to stare at Joey with his pig-like head still on.
(That bearded guy sold me out after only being gone for a short while, what an unreliable person!)
The bearded man was always straightforward; if Joey didn't tell him what to say beforehand, he would just say whatever came to mind.
No wonder Medes was so angry. He had been kept in the dark the whole time and had been beaten so badly. If it were Joey, he probably would have quit his job and run away long ago.
"Captain Joey, is there anything you want to say to me?"
"Of course, there must be!"
Joey immediately chimed in. Although he didn't exactly have a survival instinct in front of Medes, his good instincts still allowed him to quickly respond. He wasn't a heartless capitalist; he considered himself a good superior.
"You can spend ten days freely in any of the brothels in Ashfire City, it's on me!"
Medes never expected Joey to say that. His captain was usually quite nice, but he was very careful with his money. How could he suddenly be so generous?
Seeing that Medes didn't react, Joey assumed he was dissatisfied with the answer, so he continued, "Then twenty days it is, no more than that!"
"ah?"
Meld was completely dumbfounded; he never expected Joey's explanation to be like this.
He originally just wanted to hear Joey explain why he did it. Although the bearded man had already told him, he still wanted to hear Joey explain it himself. But the plot development was completely unexpected, or perhaps it could be said that he gained an unexpected benefit.
"Still not satisfied?"
Joey frowned as well.
He thought about it carefully for a moment, then added cautiously, "It's my fault for not being thorough enough. You're not me, after all. You can't take care of these girls' business for twenty consecutive days!"
"I...I'm not..."
"No need to explain, I understand. After all, there aren't many people with exceptional talent!"
Joey interrupted Medes.
"How about this, twenty times, not counting days, no limit on the number of participants, just the number of times, is that alright now?"
Joey has made his final concession.
"Captain Joey...I...I..."
Medes actually started crying. The salty tears seeped into his injured skin, causing his swollen face to twitch involuntarily again. However, at this moment, Medes' face showed no pain, but rather was filled with joy.
"It was all worth it!"
Medes thought to himself.
It turns out that putting in the right amount of effort really does bring great rewards. He's really lucky to have such a great captain. If he used to be loyal to the Alliance and Saipan Fortress, now he feels that the people he's working for need to change.
At this point, Medes had truly become a die-hard fan of Joey. He finally understood why the bearded, simple-minded guy could do so well and live such a comfortable life with Joey.
"Um, Captain Joey, I wanted to ask what 'unlimited number of participants' means?"
Although Medes wasn't short of money before, and his salary in Saibanda was decent, he had never tried this kind of sport with no limit on the number of participants before, and he had heard that the cost was several times higher.
"The literal meaning!"
"I'll take care of your sexual happiness for the rest of your life for these twenty times, so unleash your passion!"
"Don't embarrass our company from Saipan. Give my regards to those beautiful girls!"
Joey couldn't help but feel a little sad as he thought about how he had missed out on so much because he was being held back by Catherine.
"Alright, Captain Joey, but is there anything else you need?"
Medes changed his murderous attitude and his tone became respectful.
"Nothing else to tell you, just keep an eye on Leiflia's movements. She's been appearing and disappearing like a ghost lately, she's not a well-behaved kitty anymore!"
Joey suddenly thought of Leiflia, whom he hadn't seen in a long time. He felt a little disappointed that she hadn't come to see him even though he was injured like this.
"Lefreya?"
Medes was somewhat unfamiliar with this name.
"It's that female elf!"
Joey then remembered that Levia had only told him her name, and no one else knew how to address her.
"It's her? So her name is Lefreya!"
"She's been out of town for a long time; I wonder if she's come back yet!"
Medes witnessed Leiflia leave, so he told Joey about it.
"Leave the city?"
Joey's brow furrowed involuntarily; he was curious about why Leiflia had left the city.
"Just keep an eye out for her. It's okay if you can't find her anywhere!"
Joey recalled his conversation with Leiflia, the elf who took the orc attacks very seriously. He wondered what she would do as Catherine's birthday approached.
