I stood under the blazing sun and the blue sky, enjoying the clear and warm Ashton city weather.

Exiting an enormous building, I glanced at an azure-colored card in my hand.

The card was made out of metal, and on its back was a large roman [I] engraved on it. This signified the rank of the mercenary group.

Since this world likes to rank everything, mercenary corps too were ranked. They went from one to five, with five being the best.

Anyhow, ranks aside, because Smallsnake had still not officially joined the guild yet, the members count on the card was one. Me.

When he joins the card will change accordingly.

One of the things that I was a bit hesitant about when creating the corp was whether I should use an alias or my name for the founder section of the card.

Ideally, my goal was to make this one of the strongest mercenary groups in the human domain.

I wasn't sure if making my name known would be ideal or not, but...

...In the end, I decided to use my name.

There was no reason for me to hide my identity. After all, I did create this as an affiliate with Galxicus. Even if I tried to hide it, people would easily be able to deduce who I was.

"Alright, now that I successfully established the mercenary corp, it is time for the next task"

Putting the card back into my pocket, I checked my watch.

6:45 P.M.

Seeing the time, I moved towards my next location.

I had made an appointment to meet with someone for a possible place that I could use for the headquarters for Caïssa

I had checked many places through my phone, but I thought that the one I was currently heading to, fit my ideal for the headquarters the best.

...

"Welcome"

Arriving inside of a large warehouse, a fat middle-aged man wearing a wrinkled black suit came to greet me. Taking out a white handkerchief from his pocket, he wiped the sweat that had accumulated on his forehead.

"...so?"

Staring at me with anticipation, the fat middle-aged man fiddled with his hands. It was evident from his demenour that he wanted to get rid of the place at all cost.

Glancing at the space, I nodded.

The warehouse, although empty, was extremely large. It was located quite a distance away from the main city, and apart from a couple of roads and greenery there really wasn't anything around it.

This was precisely why I liked it.

Plain and boring.

Perfect place to hide the location of the headquarters.

"Alright, I'll buy it"

Checking my account balance, and confirming that I had just about 6 million U in my bank. I decided to directly buy the warehouse with most of the money I had.

In total, the warehouse cost me 4,200,000 U
