Chapter 217 Chapter 217: Opportunity ?
William sitting in his chair tapped his fingers on the desk. After shutting off the projector, he turned to his secretary.
"Double-check every detail of the welcoming procedure, especially the press and security. There should be at least one... no, tell those in the security department that we need two three-star security teams involved."
"Two three-star teams, Chief William? Isn't that a bit excessive? I'm afraid the security department might not agree," the secretary said, slightly troubled by the burly man's sudden change of plans.
Kael Technology, as a "protective umbrella" company providing security services, had its Security Department as one of its most outstanding business units, training numerous well-equipped combat personnel.
These combat personnel were categorized into five security levels, from one-star to five-star, based on their weapon equipment, level and extent of cyborg enhancements, cooperative combat abilities, and other factors.
The most popular teams for external hire were the one and two-star teams, typically used for guarding corporate facilities and handling simple daily disputes. These teams had a low level of cybernetic enhancements and were usually equipped with pistols produced by Kael Technology.
However, the three-star teams represented a significant shift in nature. Every member of these teams was equipped with at least three C-grade combat prosthetics. Their firearms included rifles and submachine guns, all equipped with the latest Kael smart chips, making them the company's elite force.
Three-star security teams were generally employed in scenarios involving corporate and gang disputes, where they might face gang retaliation, terrorist attacks, or large-scale shootouts. Their price was five to six times higher than the one and two-star teams. Read latest chapters at nov(e)lbin.com Only
Given this context, assigning one three-star team to a mere welcoming duty had already caused some displeasure in the Security Department. Now to add another one...

"After this current 'Zero Dream' cycle ends, have the security department arrest that employee. Use the pretext of leaking company secrets. Then hand him over to the police connected with us. Don't bother with jail; just arrange an 'accident' for him."
The secretary glanced at the employee information William had sent her. It was a young man named Famas. She understood what this meant and quickly nodded, recalling her own moment of hesitation in following William's orders, which now sent a chill down her spine.
Watching the secretary's hastened departure from his office, William shook his head.
From the moment they joined Kael Technology, in a nicer phrasing, these employees became the company's people, assets at its disposal. But in harsh reality, they were all the company's dogs. And a disobedient dog, obviously, was not worth keeping.
Of course, William didn't deny that he, too, was one of those 'dogs.'
That's why he was so eager to climb higher, to one day stand at the very top of the Kael Tower!
Previously, William saw no hope. Being the chief of the administrative department was his ceiling. For someone without the backing of a financial conglomerate, the path to higher promotion was closed.
But now, things were different.
The crisis Kael Technology faced was a disaster for the company but an opportunity for him. This was why William was fighting so desperately. If he could seize this chance to save the company from its dire straits,
With this in mind, the administrative chief opened the virtual computer on his desk and began to meticulously review the photos of the entire Sin City advisory group once more.
