Arlan left his contact information to Brandee and he also gave him some money to pay for the armoring of the cars. He then left the car shop with the rest and they headed straight to the headquarters of the Arms Corporation of Maharlika.
He already informed Dickoy Tuazon that he will visit the arms company. When they arrived, Arlan saw Dickoy and a few high-ranking members of the company waiting for them.
"It's a pleasure to see you again, Mr. Roa!" Dickoy shook hands with Arlan. He then turned his gaze towards the people behind Arlan. All of them looked incredibly intimidating especially the tall and muscular man who had scars on his face. He was also an army veteran so he could tell that these people came from the same line of job as him.
"Mr. Tuazon, please bring me to see the factory. I also want to see the researchers who will be responsible for working on our project." Arlan noticed the change in Dickoy's expression, but he didn't say anything. He did not bring his men just to arm them. He also brought them here to give a warning to Dickoy.
Dickoy shifted his gaze back to Arlan and immediately replied. "Sure! I'll take you there, Mr. Roa."
"Khalon and Karl will follow me inside. The rest of you will stay here." Arlan commanded his subordinates.
"Yes, boss!" Everyone answered in unison. Their deep and stern voice scared the nearby employees. Even the security personnel of the company was intimidated by their aura.
Dickoy led them to the factory. He also gave Arlan a short introduction to the company's internal matters. After all, Arlan was now the new boss and it was only right for him to know such things.
Arlan was fairly satisfied with the equipment of the company. Although he understood nothing about these machinery, he could tell that they are new models. 'I'll bring Winter with me next time. She knows more about these things.'
"Mr. Roa, please follow me. I'll introduce you to our researchers and engineers. They will be responsible for the research of the Black Dragon Assault Helicopter." Dickoy brought him to the office where they met more than a dozen people. Most of them were middle-aged and only a few were quite young, but even these people were already in their thirties.
"Everyone, let me introduce to you the new owner of the company, Mr. Arlan Dominic Roa." Dickoy introduced Arlan to everyone.
When they heard Dickoy's words, they were a bit stunned. They didn't know that they had a new boss.
"Greetings, Mr. Roa!" Everyone politely greeted Arlan. They didn't underestimate him because of his young age, but they were curious about his identity. They wondered what kind of big family could nurture such a promising young man.
"Hello, everyone! I know that you guys have busy schedules so I won't waste your time with so much nonsense. I want to formally inform you that you guys will partake in a special project. Among all the experts in the company, only the people in this room are chosen to participate. This secret project is very important and it will bring a huge impact on our company's future. I'm not exaggerating here. This project involves an advanced technology that no other country has in possession of. I know it sounds shocking, but this is the truth. To erase all your doubts, I will show you what this project is all about..." Karl handed the blueprint to him and Arlan unfurled it for everyone to see.
"This is!"
"An assault helicopter? This assault helicopter looks like a fighter jet. It's also equipped with rocket launchers, chain guns, hellfire missiles, and automatic cannons. What's this barrel for? Wait... Isn't this a laser cannon!?"
The researchers crowded over the blueprint and they were stunned the more they looked at the drawings. From the design and the weapon system, everything was new to them.
"Mr. Roa, who made this blueprint? Can you please allow us to meet the person who made this?" An old engineer who looked to be in his late fifties grabbed Arlan's arm while looking at him pleadingly.
How could Arlan do that? The blueprint was something he got from the mysterious app, but just as he was about to reject him, he suddenly remembered Winter. She was the perfect person for this. He could just tell them that it was made by Winter. He made Winter with the highest level of Engineering skills. It shouldn't be a problem for her to understand the nature of the Black Dragon Assault Helicopter.
Thinking about this, Arlan smiled apologetically at the old engineer and said. "Unfortunately, the person who created this blueprint has some matters to take of so she couldn't come today. However, I will bring her with me next time."
Hearing this, the old engineer was a bit disappointed, but he still gave Arlan a kind smile. "Then we will wait for her arrival. I am excited to exchange my knowledge with her."
"I will leave the blueprint in your care. I will also leave some men here to protect the researchers." Arlan muttered to Dickoy.
Dickoy knew that Arlan still didn't trust him. "You can rest assured, Mr. Roa. I won't let the matters about this project be leaked." He promised.
"Good. By the way, I also came here to see if I could find some equipment for my men. We need fifty Level IV bulletproof armor, fifty..." Arlan already listed all the equipment they would need. He gave the list to Dickoy.
"Hm... These are some restricted items and only the military could use them, but since it's Mr. Roa, I will make an exception." Dickoy didn't know why Arlan needed so many weapons and military equipment. Despite his curiosity, he didn't dare ask any questions.
"Mr. Roa, since the items you requested are restricted, we need to use a separate channel to move out these items. You see, there are many spies from the government and the army in the company so it's better for us to be careful. I'll call a friend and he will deliver all the items in this list to you." Although Dickoy didn't a lot about Arlan, he was willing to befriend him. Who knows? Maybe his family might even earn something from this friendship.
