"Who is it this time?" Arlan grabbed his phone. "So it's Matsushima Moro..." He muttered after seeing who the caller was.
"Hello, Mr. Matushima Moro." Arlan answered the call with a smiling face.
"Hello, Mr. Roa! I want to inform you that we have already made close to a thousand flying cars as per your orders. We also managed to find another supplier for our raw materials so we can increase the volume of our production. We might be able to make 5000 flying cars in about twenty days." Matsushima Moro reported with an excited tone.
"That's good to hear. Send all the flying cars to Maharlika. I'll send you an address later." Arlan would make use of these flying cars when the zombie virus spreads. Using normal cars at that time would be dangerous because there would be zombies everywhere. He could also sell the flying cars to people of power and get some resources from them.
"Mr. Roa, do you want us to publicize our flying cars now? I'm confident that we could send the news to all parts of the world. Just give me the word." Matsushima Moro wanted to make use of this opportunity to expand the company, but he couldn't do it without Arlan's words. After all, he was now the majority shareholder of the company and everyone was afraid of his mysterious identity. No one in the company wants to go against his orders, not even Matsushima himself.
Arlan immediately rejected this. "No. Keep everything confidential for now. The time is not yet ripe. Just do as I say."
Matsushima Moro sighed upon hearing this, but there was nothing he could do. He already tried to persuade the other shareholders, but none of them wants to oppose Arlan. "Yes, Mr. Roa."
Arlan disconnected the call. He then asked Jonas to purchase a big plot of land in Catanduanes near the construction site of his soldiers' houses. He didn't want to stock the flying cars in Manila since there were many eyes watching behind the scenes.
After that, Arlan headed to the arms corporation to check on the progress of the production of his weapons. When he arrived, Dickoy Tuazon came to greet him. He also personally escorted Arlan to the production area to observe the completed products.
Arlan was fairly satisfied with the progress. He even generously gave all the workers a big bonus which was equivalent to two months of their salary. Dickoy Tuazon and the top management of the arms corporation also received a huge bonus from him. This made everyone eager to complete his orders.
Before he left, Dickoy Tuazon suddenly said in a hesitant voice. "Mr. Roa, Lieutenant General Rivera Agustin will visit us in two days. He wants to check on the progress of the weapons they ordered. What should we do?"
Arlan was surprised to hear this. "He is coming in two days, huh? Let him come. I also want to see what kind of person he is." Arlan muttered with a smile.
Dickoy Tuazon was taken aback by his words. Was this guy really not afraid of the army? "Do you mind telling me what preparation you have prepared for them, Mr. Roa?" He wouldn't be able to remain calm if he didn't know how this matter would be dealt with.
Arlan patted his shoulder and grinned at him. "You know about the De Guzman Family, right?"
Hearing this, Dickoy Tuazon nodded his head. "The De Guzman Family is the biggest sponsor of the army. Wait... you mean..."
Arlan chuckled and waved his hand at him. "I'll leave the company in your hands. Don't worry about the army. I'll deal with them..."
Dickoy Tuazon stared at his figure absentmindedly. 'Does Mr. Roa have some connections with the De Guzman Family?'
Arlan decided to visit the villa in the territory to see if Sofia's father was already taken to the Regeneration Capsule.
Looking at the time on his watch, he muttered. "They should already be in the villa by now."
He increased his driving speed. It was getting late so he had to be there as soon as possible. Diego might be dead, but his group still has some scattered members in Manila.
Luckily for him, nothing happened along the way. He arrived at the entrance of the territory and his car was stopped by Marco and the other security guards.
Arlan rolled down his window and when they saw his face, they were surprised.
"Mr. Roa!" They hurriedly greeted him.
"If we knew that it was you, we wouldn't dare stop you." Marco muttered apologetically while giving a signal to his subordinates to open the gates.
"Haha! I'm more than happy to cooperate with you guys. I know that you are only doing your job to ensure everyone's safety." Arlan chatted briefly with them before he entered the territory. Marco and the others were veteran soldiers so no criminals would dare to barge inside the territory. He also had more than twenty guards in the Lake View Villa to protect his parents.
Upon his arrival, he first visited his parents.
They have been learning how to manage the hotel in the last few days. Zed even taught them how to converse in English. He was very proud when he saw their progress. He talked with them for almost an hour before he headed to the workshop.
More guards were roaming around the workshop. They saluted Arlan as soon as they saw him.
"Boss!"
"Boss!"
Arlan waved his hand at them. "There's no need to follow me. I'm only here to observe the workshop."
From outside the workshop, he could already hear the sounds of hammering and welding. When he entered, he saw that the workers were busy with their job so he didn't disturb them. He walked inside the room where the Regeneration Capsule was located and noticed that Sofia and the others were there.
Conrad who was responsible for escorting Sofia's group exclaimed upon seeing him. "Boss, you should have told us that you are coming."
"Arlan..." Sofia gripped her mother's hand while looking at him.
