Chapter 177
Jasmine smiled. “That’s right. You can request for backup from your handler anytime you need, and if
we deem your situation appropriate, we’ll grant it to you.”
“Wouldn’t that take forever? I’d be beaten up by the time they finished their assessment.”
A lot could happen in the span of a second in a battle, and there was no time to wait for assessments
or tests of that kind.
Jasmine reassured him, “Don’t worry. There are only eighteen people with the same status as you, but
you’ll have over eighteen thousand people as backup. The assessment will not take more than a
minute.”
“F*ck me.” Wilbur could not help but swear. 18,000 people as backup to just 18 people? That was quite
something else.
“What kind of backup are we talking about?” Wilbur asked.
Jasmine said. “Any firearms excluding nuclear weapons, warplanes included.”
“Holy moley””
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThat was all Wilbur could say. It was more than fair that nuclear weapons were not as easily
accessible, but Dasha was definitely advanced enough to have some of the best firearms. It was not
something to scoff about.
It was a great amount of power, and it could be said that the department was pretty much powerful
enough to go to war against a small country.
At last, Jasmine took a card out and handed it to Wilbur. “Here’s your license.”
Wilbur looked at the details of the license.
“Wilbur Penn, Deacon of the Northwest Provincial Department of Paranormal Research and Defense.
His photo was already printed on the card, and it had even been authorized by the nation’s higher-ups.
Wilbur put the license on the table. “You even made the license beforehand. It really seems like you
were certain I would join.” “Well, didn’t you just agree to join?” Albert chuckled “We wouldn’t have given
it to you if you ended up refusing.” Wilbur snorted. Yeah, they would have probably gotten physical if he
had insisted on turning them down.
He ended up saying nothing, seeing as he could not really afford to be going against the will of an
entire nation and there was honestly nothing wrong with joining the national team.
Wilbur said. “By the way, I saw the super cannon Hyder r was using. Is that a specialized weapon for
us too?”
Jasmine shook her head. “No. The super cannon was personalized for Ryder because he’s a trained
sni per. You can tell your handler if there’s a specialized weapun you have in mind. We’ll do our best to
satisfy your needs.”
Wilbur nodded. A handy weapon would indeed help him greatly in battle, but there was no need for that
at the moment.
“Any other questions?” Albert asked.
Wilbur frowned. “How much is our monthly salary?”
“Two hundred thousand dollars,” Albert said.
Wilbur shrugged. “A little stingy for a job that puts your life at risk, if you ask me.”
People in this position were definitely going up against pretty powerful forces, and there was a certain
amount of risk and danger to it, which was not justified by how much they were griting pal.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAlbert chuckled. “National standardized wages. I can’t do anything about it. Besides, It’s not like we’re
wholly dependent on that money either.”
Wilbur let out a laugh. Albert made a good point.
With such a position, any business he ventured into would make him an impossible amount of money
for sure. Two hundred thousand dollars was hardly worth caring about.
we’re going to be on the same team
Albert got to his feet and extended his hand toward Wilbur. “Deacon Wilbur Penn, we’re starting from
now I hope we can work well together and keep our nation safe.”
That was a pretty formal statement. Wilbur got to his feet as well and shook Albert’s hand. “It’s an
honor, Mister Joemen.”
“Hohoho,” Albert laughed as he turned to leave, and Jasmine harried forward to help him on his way
out.
“Travel safe, sir.” Wilbur waved a hand.
Albert did not even turn around. “Remember to give your handler a call. You’ll be on the payroll after
that call. Also, Ryder’s going to be your assistant in Seechertown once he’s recovered from his injuries.
He’ll be getting in touch with you too,”
