[You have successfully face-slapped a person: +10 FS Points]
[You have successfully face-slapped a person with 6 witness: +30 FS Points]
The prompt repeated four times indicating that he had just face-slapped four people at the same time. As for who they were, Roland has already thought of the possible candidate.
In total, Roland earned 160 Fs Points from sparring with one of the guards. Earlier, at the entrance, he also earned another 100 FS Points from face-slapping Bred and Ned.
'Not a bad harvest,' Roland thought as he looked at the total points he earned from this morning alone.
However, he looked at his available FS Points and could not help but feel depressed.
[FS Points: 4205]
[Level 4 Physique Enhancement Potion: 100,000 Face-Slapping Points]
The drastic increase of the potion's price made him think that it might take him a year to accumulate enough points to buy the two potions at once.
In any case, Roland was not in a hurry to increase his strength yet. One has already become level 4, and with him around, it would be pretty hard to harm him. The increase in his fighting prowess could no longer be considered just a mere two-fold increase. It was way beyond that point.
However, this world was dangerous, so Roland doesn't want to relax that much either. If he could earn even a little bit of Face-Slapping Points and get closer to 100,000, he would do it.
Too bad he could not purposely instigate a face-slapping. Or else, he wondered how many he would make in a single day.
Anyways, he looked at the people present as he took off the boxing gloves out of his hands.
"This one has the foundation. But he's lacking ferocity. We could not operate with this kind of standard yet. The first thing we needed to do is to retrain our men and make them even more capable. Alfred, make a schedule so that we can train all of our men."
"Oh right, how many men do we have left now?"
Alfred had a wry smile on his face as he answered, "A lot of them have forcefully resigned after that incident. The last time I checked, in total, we only had around 114 people left in all of the branches." fre ewebn ovel
"As for our clients, most of the big companies had retreated from the deal and only the small ones who could only afford 1 or 2 guard services remained. The main branch is the most affected as most of our clients come from influential figures and big companies. After the breach, they were worried that we have been secretly collecting private information about them and the hackers got all of them. So, they decided to waive their contract with us without hesitation," he continued with a bitter expression.
Roland nodded his head in understanding. A hundred plus people were actually greater than he initially thought. As for the customers waiving the contract, he doesn't care for them at all.
"Don't get too hung up about them. As for the remaining people, let's make the content of this meeting a secret first. Two weeks later, those who remained should be the ones loyal to the company, and the remaining scums must have already left by then. We can do the same to the contracted customers. Allow them to leave as they please. We'll have a major reform in a week's time. By that time, can I have your guarantee that you can gather every one of the remaining members in Brine City?" Roland stated as they proceeded to walk back towards the meeting room.
As for the bodyguard, he was escorted by his pair as they followed behind the group docilely. Their previous one-sided attitude towards Roland has already been transformed for a better one. They realized that Roland was actually truly skilled and strong. In fact, their master, Alfred, might not even be able to beat him in a fight. After all, if their master can, he should have already challenged Roland to a duel by now.
In the meeting room, Roland arranged for the company's moves in the next few days. Basically, they were asked to keep quiet and stay put. If customers wanted to withdraw, then there was nothing to worry about and there was no need to hold or persuade them back.
In the future, Roland was sure that they would be the first to buy their service after the new generation of bodyguards were properly groomed.
As for the matter regarding the company's major gathering in Brine City, Roland planned to train them all there. At that time, his private island should already be cured, and Tear Grass should probably have been gotten rid of by that time. And by that time, training them there as the island resort was being constructed should be very ideal.
"But, Sir... won't we incur even more loss if we just stay back like this?" Alfred could not help but ask in concern.
Roland nodded his head and said, "Of course, we will. But it doesn't matter. Let's not look at the short-term loss and look forward to the long-term success instead. As for losing a bit of money, it doesn't matter."
Roland's confidence was through the roof. However, none of the people present thought that he was lying or just acting tough. After the initial misjudgment, the people around already thought that Roland was truly capable.
The only thing that worried them was that if they truly could pull this comeback off as well as the question that can Roland's finance truly handle the loss that the company incurred during this drought?
Only three people did not doubt Roland's financial capability at this moment. However, none of them decided to talk about it, as they thought that it was basic knowledge.
After the matter was settled, Roland and One got out of the building, leaving behind the silent previous Protect Life Security employees.
They looked at each other, each having a different expression on their faces. Some were optimistic while some were still doubting as well. However, one thing was certain. At this moment, Protect Life Security was no more, and it was the birth of Divine Aegis Security Company.
For better or for worse, their life had already begun to take another turn the moment Roland took over the company.
As for Roland and One, the two of them went back to Sparkling Buds as he and Stacey had lunch together.
It was already noon, and it was almost time for his daily class again.
