Things were progressing better and faster than I had expected.
It had been five days since Alaric suddenly appeared before me. Since he had said he would show up again in a few days, I was expecting him to appear before me again soon. Probably today or tomorrow.
Still, I hadn't let it bother me. On the contrary, I had devoted myself entirely to my work.
The Inferesse Family's financial situation was improving when looking ahead. The steps taken regarding the bar chain business were also going relatively well. The foundations had been laid, and agreements had been signed for several branches and acquisitions. The employees have been busy with advertising and promotions these days.
Speaking of employees, that issue was also going well. Hiring trustworthy people had become quite important after the family's recent events, but we were managing. With background checks and the use of lie detection spells and mechanisms during interviews, we had slowly begun to rebuild our workforce.
