Five big words suddenly appeared in the sky: "Heavenly Ranking Top 80,000"... These five massive characters crashed down like a Five-Finger Mountain, slamming Jill Young so hard her expression turned downright menacing. All day long, she glared at everyone like a mob boss collecting protection money, making people feel creeped out. Even Bobby Brooks, who hadn’t seen Jill in ages and was super excited, hesitated at the sight of that look.
"Your Ma—jesty!" At that moment, Bobby Brooks came running from afar, his whole chubby body wobbling like an overexcited husky seeing its owner, beaming with sunshine: "I've missed you so much, Your Maj..."
—Jill Young shot him a vicious little glare—
"...jesty...?" Bobby skidded to a halt, suddenly unsure. He glanced at Jonathan Black behind him, who was wearing a wry smile, then at Jill Young, whose face looked like she was caught in a storm. He probed, "Your Majesty, is something bothering you? Did someone tick you off? Who’s got the guts? I’ll take care of them—wipe out their whole family if you want! Don’t worry, leave it to me, I’ll handle it perfectly!"
Watching Bobby thump his chest, sending ripples across his belly, Jill Young first raked her hair in frustration, then gave up and tossed her head in exasperation: "Forget it! This isn’t something you can fix. Next topic!"
Next topic? What topic?
"Recruit, find people, call everyone—basically, it’s one signal arrow and a thousand troops show up!"
People business means you gotta have people. And if you want to start SkyEase or run Eternal Night Holdings Group in the future, you need talent. As a former mob boss, Jill Young figures her crew needs folks who can get things done, folks who can fight, and a core batch of loyal Chosen Ones.
What’s real power? Being a department head isn’t power—having the whole department listen to you, that’s power. For the sake of our empire, you gotta have underlings. And the bigger your reputation, the more strong underlings you can attract. That’s a big part of it.
"Yeah, we’ve been working on that since the beginning," Jonathan Black chimed in, angling for credit. "There are a bunch of ‘superheroes’ active in Hong Kong now, so if we follow the trail, we can get some leads. Once we dig up more clues and check them out, we’ll move to the next step."
