Goodbye, Saintess. Novel

+25 Bonus Chapter 354 I decided we should just visit the factory without him , especially since Taylor had already informed his guards about our arrival . The only part of the factory we were forbidden to enter was the dispensary . Everywhere else was fair game . We concluded the factory was just as good as Shawn Inc.'s . " They both meet our standards , huh ? Then let's split the deal . Shawn Inc. can make our sleeping pills , while Lockheed Pharma handles the Flametamers , " I said . Metis went to the restroom .

I was just about to call Jeanine to draft two contracts when I ran into someone I least expected . A flat voice behind me said , " Oh , is that Sebastian Grimwald ? I can't believe it's really you . " I turned , equally surprised . It was my older cousin , Kevin . I frowned . " Why are you here ? " I asked . " Because I'm the leader of one of Lockheed Pharma's production teams . I'm on my break right now , " he said . " I earn a lot more than normal workers here , man . " He chuckled smugly . " What happened ? Couldn't make a living in Astergrad , Ian ? It's okay if that's what happened .

We're cousins , after all . Show some sincerity , and I'll help you out a little . I'll put in a few good words for you and see if they want to hire you . " He extended his hand , fingers rubbing together . He was asking for money - that was his idea of " sincerity . " I could not even begin to laugh . It had been years since we had seen each other , and Kevin was still as much of a loser as ever . We were not close . Kevin's father , despite being my dad's brother , had always delighted in mocking my father's supposed low wages and lack of prestige .

My memories of them were full of Kevin and his family ridiculing us . It got to the point where both families stopped interacting entirely . " Who told you I was looking for work ? " I sneered . " And who asked about your job ? " Kevin was just like my uncle . He couldn't resist bragging about even the smallest achievement as though it were monumental . " What's that supposed to mean ? " Kevin retorted , clearly irritated by my nonchalance . " I know you , little cousin . You don't have to play dumb . Your family has always been struggling !

I'm only offering because I know you'll need it , and I feel for you . So what's with that attitude ? " I shook my head . " I appreciate it , but I don't need it . You should probably get back to work , too . " Just as he said , we were family . There was never any serious beef between us , so I didn't want to inadvertently embarrass Kevin . Unfortunately , he could not take a hint . " Why are you pretending to be above it all when you're obviously looking for a job here ? You just couldn't be arsed to part with your money , even when I'm asking for so little !

" Kevin shook his head in contempt . " You have changed nothing at all . It's like foresight isn't a concept for you . You're too focused on the little you have to understand what you should sacrifice for greater rewards . That's very typical of people of your social class . " I looked at him tiredly . " Yo , are you done ? If yes , bye . " I wished he would just leave already . Otherwise , when Taylor saw the way he talked to me , Kevin would soon Chapter 344 +25 Bonus realize it was effortless to replace the leader of a small team . " I can't wait to see you fail your job interview !

" Kevin scoffed and turned , ready to leave . Then he saw Metis walking toward him . She was breathtaking - an ethereal elven princess , proud , dignified , and impossibly aloof . Kevin was literally stunned and forgot entirely that he was supposed to be somewhere else . ADMINJ
