213 Tired Sigh. (2/2)
Now only Oliver, Irvin, Haley, and a couple of other elite members remained in the room, so Ozul stood up and made his way to the chair.
*Sigh*
”Alright. Brief only the things which are important,” Ozul said after a tired sigh. It had been a long time since he got briefed about the whole organization.
Oliver didn't waste any time and started to explain their situation all around the continent.
”Stop it. Don't tell me all those things,” Ozul stopped him in the middle as he continued, ”I don't need to know all of them. And if there are any problems, solve them. I don't need to know every one of them either.”
Oliver could only smile wryly at his words. He nodded his head and sat back while a few of those elite members tried their best not to laugh at his face.
Ozul didn't want to bother with every small matter now. He had already done enough.
”How many Rank-8 Mages do we have?” he asked, realizing that they wouldn't really understand what he wanted to know and what to not if he just stared at them.
Haley quickly scrolled through the bundle of documents before them and took out a sheet. It seemed that she already had a list of their elite members, listed according to their strengths.
”Including Irvin, we have a total of 3 peak Rank-8 Mages. Those 2 both are stationed in two separate parts of the continent,” Haley informed with a pause. She continued, ”As for the total number of Rank-8 Mages, we have a total of 32 right now.”
'Hm. It's quite a lot. More than enough for now,' Ozul thought inside his mind as he nodded his head. Those two peak Rank-8 Mages were quite surprising for some, but he knew that they didn't join with any bad intentions.
All the members with important positions were required to take oaths. These oaths weren't so restrictive and only asked them to never leak any information related to the organization. All of them were also required to take an oath that they weren't spies from other groups and they wouldn't betray the Three-Eyed Strangers. If anyone went back on their word, they would be instantly killed on the spot.
If it was not expensive to use those oath artifacts, Haley would have made every member of the organization take an oath.
”What about our treasure vaults?” Ozul asked.
”We are actually making quite a lot of profits already. As of now, the main vault has the magical Core of a Rank-8 Mountain Tiger, Rank-8 Fiery Snake, Rank-8 White Bat...” Haley started to list every rare material that they had in the treasury.
”... and a total of 1.2 million Platinum Coins,” she ended only after counting everything except for the three Rank-9 Beast's corpses. They were safe with her, though a few of their parts were already used in strengthening some of the formations.
Ozul's mood visibly improved a little after hearing everything that Haley had listed. There were quite a few things that contained dense Mana for him to absorb.
'But not right now...' Ozul decided that these materials and artifacts were better used by the organization for now. Although there were quite a lot, his improvement after absorbing them would be way less than the benefits obtained by the organization. Although if he did need them for any emergency in the future, it was always his to take.
This was the best part of creating the organization. Even when their organization only sold trivial information, they had started amassing a fortune because they operated all over the continent!
”Alright, anything else?” Ozul asked. He knew that these people always asked for his opinions on important matters even when he had told them that it was up to them.
It was Oliver that spoke again, ”Ah, yes. We were talking about building semi headquarters in each part of the continent...”
”Semi headquarters?” Ozul repeated,
”Yes. Like all three parts would have their own headquarters. The branch divisions would send their information to them instead. And then those semi headquarters will send them to us,” Oliver briefly explained.
He further added, ”It would really help decrease the burden on us. Handling each branch division would also become much easier.”
”Alright. Make those peak Rank-8 Mages the head of each semi headquarters. Since we only have 2 of them excluding Irvin, send a couple more middle-stage Rank-8 to the last part,” Ozul ordered as everyone nodded his head.
They had also come to a similar conclusion but still needed to discuss it with Ozul before implementing the idea.
”Anything else?” Ozul again asked. No one brought up the topic to start sending their spies to other organizations since they hadn't dealt with everything yet.
They didn't have anything else to discuss right now, so no one said a thing. Ozul was about to stand up and leave when Irvin spoke up, ”Ah! Yes. Young Master, the invitation came...”
