Chapter 1486: Ray Ranking

The 10th ranked heir went completely silent as he heard those words come out of his own employee. It stunned him. He couldn’t believe that they would actually say such an absurd thing when they knew how much he hated Reborn.

"You... you... Reborn? You dare utter that name in my presence? Everyone, kill him!"

He was smug as he made that decision. However, that proud look on his face soon drained as he realized that none of his employees were moving.

"What are you all doing?!"

It was at this point that every single one of his employees had a united front. They looked at their own boss, and their own leader, and had nothing but mutinous thoughts in their head.

They’ve had enough. They didn’t want to follow such a person ever again. Not when they knew that they deserved better.

They’ve seen what it was like outside. Theyv’e seen what true freedom looked like.

And they didn’t want to be boxed down in such a hellish place any longer. They didn’t need to follow this guy. He was a loser!

"Everyone? Haha... I see what’s happening here," the 10th ranked heir muttered under his breath. "There’s a reason why you never want to make a Conglomerate heir angry!

Do you think that I’m going to let you go so easily after what you’ve done to me? Do you think that you could wash your hands of this betrayal?!

Rest assured that I will have the entirety of the Hepheasteus Conglomerate coming down to arrest you for this treachery!"

It was at this point that his employees were starting to waver.

They dared to start a mutiny against him because they were confident that he couldn’t do anything. If they just put up a united front, then their leader would be harmless.

However, the Hepheasteus Conglomerate was a different thing entirely.

They didn’t look kindly upon employees who betrayed their employers. Especially if that person was the heir of a Conglomerate.

He was only the 10th ranked heir of the Hephaestus Company. But he was an heir nonetheless.

Their family would do anything to send down and apprehend every single person who betrayed their heir.

It was a matter of pride for the Conglomerates. If they allowed people to disrespect their heirs, then it was very easy for them to lose the prestige that came with their name. And in this era, reputation was very much an important facet of a company.

"Hahaha. Not so brave now, are you? That’s right. My family will be coming for every single one of you!" the 10th ranked heir threatened.

"But you can still repent. If you apprehended your own people, then i may forgive you for your sins."

Now, the 10th ranked heir had sowed the seeds of doubt and betrayal in his employees. Now, they wouldn’t be as ready to start a mutiny against him.

Everyone would be afraid that someone would turn against their own forces.

And once that happened, they would have nothing to help them from the consequences that the Hephaestus Conglomerate would ask from them.

"Please," the helpless farmer pleaded to the ground and no one in particular. "Please save me and my family!"

It was at this point that something unexpected happened.

A giant eye appeared in the middle of the room, surprising the 10th ranked heir and his employees.

They watched this giant eye as it pivoted everywhere in the room, before its gaze eventually landed on the farmer who made the plea.

"What are you?!" the 10th ranked heir shouted. He was weirded out by this situation and wanted to finish this immediately.

"If you want to save yourselves, then kill this farmer and turn your brethren in!"

It was at this point that a strange whistling noise suddenly emerged from the ceiling. It started out very muted, before it grew louder and louder as the time passed.

The 10th ranked heir didn’t even realize what was happening until the arrow pierced through the ceiling and landed directly in front of him.

It missed his head by a hair’s breadth. The 10th ranked heir felt his blood turn cold from the close call.

Someone almost killed him!

He looked at the arrow in front of it and saw that distinct symbol on its feathers.

’R’

"Reborn?!"

Upon hearing this, his employees all perked up. Reborn? They actually came to save them?!

"Why are you interfering in my business?!" the 10th ranked heir shouted. He looked around the room, wondering where the shooter had come from.

"Know that this is official Conglomerate business! By interfering in this, you will be putting yourself directly in harm’s way of the Hephaestus Company!"

Just then, an angelic voice came from out of nowhere.

"Justice does not know any boundaries or limits."

Sheina appeared from out of nowhere, floating down from the ceiling. Her appearance was stunning, like an angel sent down from the heavens.

"Who... who are you?!"

Sheina slightly bowed her head. Ever the professional, she was.

"I am Sheina. The Secretary of the Reborn company."

"Why have you come here?!"

Sheina looked at the farmer down below. "Someone asked for my help. I simply answered the call."

"This is my territory!" the 10th ranked heir shouted. "It is not your responsibility what happens here or what my employees do!"

Sheina looked down at the heir and shook her head. "No. But I am responsible for the entirety of Angora City. Lord Michael had assigned that territory under my protection.

And that phone..."

She pointed towards the phone in the farmer’s hands.

"That phone is made in Angora City. Therefore, it is part of my responsibility. Including the person who owns it.

And if they’re asking for help, then I shall answer the call."

The 10th ranked heir was at a loss for words. He couldn’t understand the logic behind her actions. Why would a phone be part of her responsibility?!

"I simply cannot lose to my brothers," Sheina said to herself. "I can’t go down in the rankings."
