Chapter 557 Reading Files

The disciples of the beast barn had confused looks on their faces. With skeptical eyes, they looked at each other and then nodded. It was the first time for them to meet such a friendly manager. Additionally, he was rather patient to listen to their complaints. Such a benevolent attitude made them naturally like and admire him.

After he ordered the disciples to continue their work, Zachary immediately went to the office room which was exclusively prepared for the manager. It looked very old and full of dust, just like a warehouse. Cobwebs were scattered as the place badly needed some cleaning. Obviously, no one had used it for a long time. Right at that moment, the sound of snores came from the innermost office.

Out of curiosity, Zachary hastily walked inside to check what was happening. Soon, he found out that Ryder was sleeping on a pile of materials. A pungent smell of alcohol welcomed Zachary as he noticed a few bottles of wine around the sleeping man. Without a word, Zachary carelessly carried Ryder by one hand and left the office. Afterward, he went to the sink nearest to the office, and dropped Ryder into the sink.

With a thump, Ryder fell into the sink. After a moment, he suddenly jumped out of the sink with a frightened expression. As if he thought that some just pulled a prank on him, he then immediately snarled, "Who the hell did this to me?"

"Change your clothes now. When you're presentable, come to my office." A cold and strict glance accompanied Zachary's command. After he ordered Ryder, he went back to his office.

After a little daze, Ryder woke up and shuddered. He had thought that Zachary was merely bluffing, but it turned out that he would actually come to the office to read the files. Unfortunately, Zachary had caught him sleeping at working hours on the spot. Nevertheless, he was still filled with indignation and grievance. Since Zachary had taken office, his life wouldn't be so cozy and easy as before. Even the disciples under Ryder's lead began to disobey his orders.

Despite his annoyance and complaints about Zachary, Ryder still changed his clothes and went to the office. When he finally entered the office room, Ryder saw Zachary sitting behind a desk full of reading materials. With extreme concentration, Zachary read each part carefully.

"Is there anything I can do for you, Manager Harley?" Ryder asked carefully.

"Three days later, we need to hold a recruitment meeting for disciples. You're responsible for that. Highlight the best side of our beast barn to all the disciples of the Xiao Clan." Zachary's voice was full of authority and confidence.

"I've heard about that. However, we're really not that popular. Will any disciple come to such an event? I'm really afraid that no one wil

preparation? If you are not satisfied with any part, please tell me directly. I can have someone correct it right away," Ryder said proudly to Zachary as his face looked like he wanted to be praised.

"It's very great. Everything looks fine!" Zachary nodded with great satisfaction.

"I'm glad to hear that. I was worried that it might not satisfy your concerns," Ryder said as he pretended to be modest.

"This bottle of pills will be your reward for doing such a good job." Zachary callously took out a bottle of pills at the King Level and handed it to Ryder.

"Thank you, Manager Harley!" After he took the bottle with a big smile on his face, Ryder hurriedly hid it. It was as if he was afraid that Zachary would take it back.

"By the way, is there any treasure beast show or something similar that will happen tomorrow?" Zachary asked in a curious tone.

"Regretfully, not yet. Most of the treasure beasts living here have their own masters. We can't control them as of the moment," Ryder said reluctantly as if he was caught in a dilemma.

"Okay. I'll let my treasure beasts perform tomorrow. Please arrange a time for us," Zachary said after he pondered for a while.

"What? Manager Harley, you have more than one treasure beasts?! May I know what your treasure beasts are?" Ryder was genuinely curious when he asked the question.

"You'll know it tomorrow," Zachary said mysteriously as an impish smile appeared on his face.

Ryder could only nod obediently as he faked a smile.

After a thorough inspection, Zachary took Jimmy and Henry back to his house.

Originally, Zachary intended to enter the system. However, he heard some noise from the pill refining room. Immediately, he walked over to check what happened. Through the gap, he saw a delicate shadow that seemed to be busy with something in the room.
