Living With My Lady Boss romance Capítulo 177

Jasmine smiled. "That's right. You can request for backup from your handler anytime you need, and if we deem your situation appropriate, we'll grant it to you."

"Wouldn't that take forever? I'd be beaten up by the time they finished their assessment."

A lot could happen in the span of a second in a battle, and there was no time to wait for assessments or tests of that kind.

Jasmine reassured him, "Don't worry. There are only eighteen people with the same status as you, but you'll have over eighteen thousand people as backup. The assessment will not take more than a minute."

"F*ck me." Wilbur could not help but swear. 18,000 people as backup to just 18 people? That was quite something else.

"What kind of backup are we talking about?" Wilbur asked.

Jasmine said, "Any firearms excluding nuclear weapons, warplanes included."

"Holy moley!"

That was all Wilbur could say. It was more than fair that nuclear weapons were not as easily accessible, but Dasha was definitely advanced enough to have some of the best firearms. It was not something to scoff about.

It was a great amount of power, and it could be said that the department was pretty much powerful enough to go to war against a small country.

At last, Jasmine took a card out and handed it to Wilbur. "Here's your license."

Wilbur looked at the details of the license.

'Wilbur Penn, Deacon of the Northwest Provincial Department of Paranormal Research and Defense'.

His photo was already printed on the card, and it had even been authorized by the nation's higher-ups.

Wilbur put the license on the table. "You even made the license beforehand. It really seems like you were certain I would join."

"Well, didn't you just agree to join?" Albert chuckled. "We wouldn't have given it to you if you ended up refusing."

Wilbur snorted. Yeah, they would have probably gotten physical if he had insisted on turning them down.

Albert chuckled. "National standardized wages. I can't do anything about it. Besides, it's not like we're wholly dependent on that money either."

Wilbur let out a laugh. Albert made a good point.

With such a position, any business he ventured into would make him an impossible amount of money for sure. Two hundred thousand dollars was hardly worth caring about.

Albert got to his feet and extended his hand toward Wilbur. "Deacon Wilbur Penn, we're going to be on the same team starting from now. I hope we can work well together and keep our nation safe."

That was a pretty formal statement. Wilbur got to his feet as well and shook Albert's hand. "It's an honor, Mister Joemen."

"Hohoho," Albert laughed as he turned to leave, and Jasmine hurried forward to help him on his way out.

"Travel safe, sir." Wilbur waved a hand.

Albert did not even turn around. "Remember to give your handler a call. You'll be on the payroll after that call. Also, Ryder's going to be your assistant in Seechertown once he's recovered from his injuries. He'll be getting in touch with you too."
