"Alright, I'll try to be as secretive as possible then. Please don't worry master." Voiced the CEO ugly in confidence.
At this moment, they had finally passed through the borders of Russia as they began their search for other new mines…
Soon, a potential C-grade copper mine was discovered…
Then, another C-grade silver mine…
Amazingly, even a B-grade iron mine showed itself before them!
"Master… please keep in mind that since we don't have the tools for mining ourselves, we would need to buy them from other companies unless we don't want to start the process as soon as possible. However, if we continue finding new mines like this, we will be forced to spend the majority of our capital… considering the fact that it requires us to purchase the lands, go through the necessary paperwork, buy the mining tools for all of them, and ultimately hire lots of employees." Right after they were successful in finding another B-grade silver mine, the CEO ugly started to elaborate.
"It doesn't matter, since we have lots of capital at hand right now, just spend as much as you need. It's going to return to us by manyfold later on anyway-" Virus was just giving his own words in response when he abruptly went quiet. Simultaneously, his eyes were twinkling a little.
Seeing his master go quiet all of a sudden while staring at the radar, the CEO ugly also looked over only to grow speechless the next moment as he stuttered, "That… that… that's an A-grade diamond mine. On this site… we would be capable of mining at least 15 million carats of diamonds annually!"
Hearing this, some traces of disdain sparkled on Virus' face as he mumbled in a voice none of the two were able to hear, "That is the case… until we stop the utilization of the ancient technology of today and instead use our own…"
Beside him, the golden beauty also became very happy and jovial after hearing her master had finally found their first A-grade mine… furthermore, it was a diamond mine!
Needless to say, at this moment, Virus also grinned. It seemed he was, at last, a bit satisfied with their findings, "Let's wrap this whole thing up after discovering another A-grade mine."
Hearing this, the CEO ugly couldn't stop an awkward chuckle from showing up on his face while he pondered to himself, 'If others knew master was detecting a variety of mines one after another as if he was picking up a few worthless rocks on the ground here and there, I have no idea what kind of reaction they would've shown. Would they truly cough a few mouthfuls of blood like in those…. Or would they experience a few rounds of heart attacks? Hehe…'
After that, they also visited Australia where so far their biggest discovery was a B-grade gold mine.
Fifteen minutes later…
"Haha… master! That's another A-grade mine! Seeing those colors… I estimate we would be able to mine massive amounts of gold, molybdenum, silver, copper, etc. from here!!!" Bursting into merry laughter of excitement, the CEO ugly shouted happily.
"Okay, let's go back now, these should be enough, right?" Gazing at the jovial CEO ugly, Virus asked. By now, he had become entirely expressionless.
"No, no… those mines are already far more than enough… however, I believe the moment we officially begin selling the products of our mines, the mining industry would be thrown into chaos and the value of everything in this industry will probably experience a big fall. I say it would definitely plummet and that would harm the other people in this industry very much. Then, the other mining companies might even make a malicious move against us." Stated the CEO ugly after a serious glint went through his eyes.
"Alright then, let's go back." Uttered Virus in response while ignoring the part about the possibility of the whole mining industry declaring war against them. The spaceship turned around as it left toward the ocean.

Just as they were returning to their atoll, the spaceship abruptly stopped in its tracks in the middle of nowhere above the ocean.
Catching this, the golden beauty inquired confusedly, "Um… master? Why did we stop here? Did something happen?"
Nevertheless, Virus didn't provide him with any kind of response as he just continued to stare at the radar in front of him with a small frown of unknown emotions.
Seeing this, both the golden beauty and the CEO ugly also looked over. The next moment, due to entering a sudden state of absolute shock, their eyeballs almost bulged out of their sockets as they stared at the scene before them dumbfoundedly.
"That… that…"
"Oh my god…"
Soon, both of them started to stutter non-stop until the CEO ugly was finally capable of finishing his first sentence, "Oh… my… god! What is that under the ocean? An A-grade… no, no, no… not even close… an S-grade mine? Even that seems to be an understatement… an SS-grade mine? Or maybe even higher?"
By his side, the golden beauty also started to talk, "Why are there so many colors! It's just like a rainbow buried under the very bottom of the ocean itself… silver, brown, gold, purple, pink, red, etc! Sigh… just… just what kind of place is it there? I can't even begin to imagine what type of materials the rest of the colors like purple represents! "
At this point, shaking his head, without providing any kind of explanatory information regarding the astounding unknown mine under them, Virus proclaimed, "Currently, we don't have the required technology for mining under the ocean… even for mining above the ground, we will need to depend upon this world's slow and ancient technology for a while… so let's just stop bothering with this place for now."
_____________
A few days ago, after strolling around for a while in a deeply contemplative state, detective Lock finally reached his destination as he raised his head to look at the signboard attached to the building in front of him.
New York Police Dept – nth Precinct!
After staring at the sign for a short while, he walked in.
.
.
.
In the meantime, a certain detective was sitting behind her desk in a dispirited manner while continuing to stare at a single point inside her office. She seemed to be clenching her fists too as she proceeded to gaze at that random spot.
That day, after the man who presumably now owned her had left, the police chief had ordered the head of the precinct to give her a personal office where she would be able to work by herself in a private space.
Before leaving, he also didn't forget to remind her that he would be sending over the person that was going to train her in a few days.
Now, she lived every second of her life in a nightmare where she was expecting that man to return at any time in order to get his revenge on her.
Moreover, what made her despair even further was the fact that her illusion of the existence of justice in this world had already disappeared entirely. She no longer had any remaining faith regarding the system she was currently serving for.
She was... detective Argent.
