+25 Bonus " Those days are over now , Emil . From now on , you're hired I'm Sebastian Grimwald , by the way . Founder of Astergrad's Sleeping Giant Inc. " Emil hesitated . " You're ... not from here ? Then I ... I'm afraid I can't take this job . My wife is too sick to move to another city at this stage . I'm sorry . " " Uh hem . Mr. Emil ... ? " " Candor . " " Mr. Emil Candor ? You should hear me out first . " I smiled . The work I need your help with is based in Sazaar . That is the reason . I am not about to separate you and your wife . You have my word .

Once you earn enough for her treatment , I'll wait for her to recover so both of you can move to Astergrad too . " Emil looked touched . Tears gathered at the corners of his eyes . " Thank you . Thank you so much . I will do anything you ask . Anything . " " Well , I wanted you because you're a veteran , right ? You must be handy in combat . " Emil nodded . " What would you need me to do , Mr. Grimwald ? " " I need you as part of my security detail . It works like a hybrid job . You serve as both my security cop and my bodyguard , " I replied . " How much are you willing to pay me ?

" he asked . He hoped only for enough to buy his wife her medicine . He felt sure he could never earn enough for hospital care or surgery . " How much does your wife's medicine cost ? " I asked . Truth be told , I had not thought about his wage . I had no idea how skilled he was or how much he needed for a more comfortable life with his wife . Emil tightened his fists and looked down . " The medicine costs 3,000 bucks a month . That does not include our cost of living . " The lack of work for a middle - aged man with an ailing wife had crushed him . He was at his wit's end . I was stunned .

The man had asked for 3,000 dollars up front . That was for his wife alone . He had not even considered his own needs . If I paid him that amount , his wife would have her medicine yet still face hunger . A man who asked only for what he needed and nothing more was a trustworthy man . I did not need to worry about him scheming against me . I could trust him . " I will pay you 6,000 dollars up front . Do not worry , I will pay in full , " I said . " Your situation calls for special attention . I think it is fair . As I see your skill in action , I can raise your wage accordingly .

" No security worker earned 6,000 a month , I knew , but I wanted this man . He deserved it . " T - That's too much , Mr. Grimwald . I am not worth that much , " Emil cried out as he grabbed my shoulders . Tears filled his eyes . " Oh God , skip the melodrama , my man . You have a job now right ? Your main task is to help me deal with any troublemakers who show up at my mine . I will scout for more members for the team soon , " I said with a light tone . " By the way , the mine will be in Samson . Is that alright for you and your wife ?
