Adam did not like that.
An employee could ask for better pay. That was normal.
But this man was not asking.
He was pressing the machine's throat and waiting for Aster Core to beg.
The worst part was that Adam could not even blame Kenji or Kiri for hiring him.
They had done what they could.
If only one person with real experience appeared, then any growing company would grab that person first and check the danger later. Aster Core had been moving too fast to act like an old company with a full technical department.
But now the weakness was open.
One man could slow the whole thing.
Adam's eyes stayed on the box beside him.
'Then I need another man.' he thought. 'No, not just another man. I need someone better.'
Adam leaned back and stared at the ceiling.
'So this is the first use of that phone.' he thought.
He opened the box and took out the satellite phone.
After checking the contacts Silas had already saved, Adam called the old man.
The scene shifted to Silas and Kael.
