Reincarnated as a Blood Demon on Terra? I've Hit the Jackpot!

Chapter 40: (RBT) Chapter 40: This Penguin, You Truly Bring Me Great Satisfaction!



"I don't think this recruitment flyer is going to get any new employees..."

The grey-haired Lupo girl held the Penguin Logistics recruitment flyer, feeling that the future of the company she worked for held only disaster. And the figure sitting opposite her was a penguin wearing a t-shirt and black sunglasses, looking somewhat human.

The boss of Penguin Logistics is a penguin... is this considered normal?

"Haha! That's funny, Texas! Are you doubting my vision? Those ordinary recruitment flyers have no taste at all. I don't want my future company to be full of rotten fish and spoiled shrimp!!"

"But I don't want this company to have only me doing all the work..."

"We still have 'Exus', don't we?"

"He doesn't do any fieldwork..."

Texas couldn't help but sigh and rub her temples. She didn't know what she was thinking back then to have agreed to this talking penguin... traveling all the way to Lungmen just to build a Penguin Logistics company from scratch?

However, Texas didn't know that the gears of fate had already begun to turn.

Knock, knock—

A knock on the door interrupted the meeting that consisted of only Texas and the Emperor.

"Konnichiwa~ I'm here to interview at Penguin Logistics."

From outside the door, the voice of a man rang out. He sounded very young.

A glint of light reflected off the sunglasses on the Emperor's face, as if he had just seen the future where his Penguin Logistics was about to prosper.

"Texas... I have a premonition that you're about to get a new colleague very soon."

"..." Texas said nothing, merely putting on a cold face and secretly pouting.

After receiving permission from the Emperor, Lucifer held the recruitment flyer and pushed the door open, walking into the Penguin Logistics studio. And the first thing he saw upon entering was the penguin sitting on the bar counter.

"A penguin---holy sh*t!! Is that a real-life Beastlord?!"

His pair of blood-red eyes were filled with surprise.

The Emperor pushed up his sunglasses, looking at Lucifer without a word. He could faintly sense an extraordinary aura from him.

"Wait a minute, this scent... you're not, by any chance?"

"Hold it... let me speak, don't interrupt. I am a genuine Aegir! Not what you think."

If someone were to interrupt him while he was speaking, the Emperor would have definitely used his flippers to leave a stamp on their face. But he was so angered by Lucifer that he laughed instead.

Lucifer's brave demeanor, he spoke as if he had no idea what an Aegir or the people there looked like. And Lucifer knew well that the identity he had created for himself while on the road probably couldn't fool the Emperor. After all, the other party was a genuine Beastlord, a being who had been called immortal since a thousand years ago. But from what Lucifer understood about Beastlords, as long as they got along well and joined their team's voice chat, there was nothing to be afraid of.

"Not bad, kid... very brave indeed. It seems that 'Aegir' couldn't hold you, huh? Then join me for a 'three days, nine meals' lifestyle. I don't mind hiring people skilled enough to handle the pipe-wielding thugs in the neighborhood."

"Don't talk about our company as if it's a street gang..." Texas, who was standing nearby, quickly interjected. They were a legitimate logistics company.

But the Emperor was, after all, an investor and one of the founders of Penguin Logistics. Texas couldn't slice him up and serve him on a platter. She could only turn to look at Lucifer.

"In short, if you want to join Penguin Logistics, due to some unavoidable circumstances and to prevent any unforeseen incidents, you must have the skills and experience in self-defense that are legal. That is what our company requires. I hope you will think it over carefully..."

Lungmen had many street gangs and groups of super-powered individuals. Texas had clashed with those people before, so she could say with certainty that this job required a skilled person. Fortunately, this time, she had the Emperor backing her up. Otherwise, she would probably be in an L.G.D. prison cell by now...

"Don't scare off our new employee, Texas. I think he's got something... He must be a genius in our line of work."

"Where are you getting that certainty from?"

Hearing this, Texas sized Lucifer up again. Although he was a handsome young man, he had the air of a weak scholar. No matter how she looked at him, he seemed like the type who would pose as an office worker or some kind of direct sales person... It was just that a faint scent of blood emanated from him, so faint that even she could barely smell it. Seeing that Lucifer himself seemed uninjured, Texas just thought she was imagining things.

But Texas didn't stick to her first impression and look down on the Emperor's judgment. Since the Emperor said Lucifer was extraordinary, she thought he must have something that surpassed others in some way.

"Sigh... anyway, here's the employment contract. If there are no problems, just sign it."

Texas brought over a contract of black text on white paper and handed it to Lucifer. No matter what, at least in the future, she would have a colleague to go on fieldwork with.

"Isn't this a bit fast, comrade?... Aren't you going to ask if I can work during the school holidays? Or how old I am? I could take this to the L.G.D. and report you as a black-hearted enterprise to get a reward, you know."

"....." The light in Texas's pale golden eyes seemed to have gone out. She was no longer doubting the Emperor's judgment... She thought that with these two, Lucifer and the Emperor, together, Penguin Logistics would surely have a bright future waiting (sarcasm). Just the thought of it made her want to jump into a river...

"Hah... kid! A guy like you is interesting! You should know that even old man Wei can't do anything to me. We at Penguin Logistics don't need any of those troublesome rules. Doing what we want is the best way!"

The Emperor leaped from the bar counter to Texas's table, grabbed the contract, and threw the papers everywhere. He put his hands on his hips, pointed at Lucifer, and struck a very cool pose at him.

"So rest assured, kid. Even if you cause trouble in Lungmen, or if any problems follow, I can still protect you!"

"And what if Nezzalem and Ducale come here?"

"Hmph... just that corpse-eating ghost and that psychotic red-eye? I'll shoot them right between the eyes for show if they dare!"

Even if it seemed like a slight exaggeration... for the past few hundred years, the Emperor wasn't quite sure if his reputation would still work on them. However, if they dared to come and take his people in his Lungmen, both Lungmen and Yan would certainly not stand idly by. Just imagine Wei Yanwu letting out a furious shriek in the middle of the night. The Emperor could barely hold back his laughter.

"You penguin... you truly bring me great satisfaction! State your name!"

"My name is the Emperor! I am a superstar on this land!!"

The Emperor began to recount his numerous honors to Lucifer. And Texas, who was standing nearby and had tasted this many times before, couldn't bear to watch any longer. She began to escape from reality, quietly becoming a black-and-white drawing on the wall, unnoticed by anyone.

"Too much talk is useless... let's talk about something tangible."

"Join Penguin Logistics, and you get food and lodging, five insurances and one housing fund, a monthly salary of 8,000 Lungmen Dollars, two days off a week plus festival holidays, a year-end bonus, and if you get jailed, I'll bail you out."

These benefits didn't sound like they belonged to a start-up logistics company at all. It was more like the Emperor had come to experience life.

"Your Majesty... I am your long-lost brother from another mother!!"

Lucifer couldn't help but lament that if he had met such a boss in his past life, he wouldn't have had to live the life of a corporate slave like that.

"How about this... Your Majesty, let's have it our own way. I'll call you Boss, and you call me Big Bro. How does that sound?"

"Who do you think you're taking advantage of?!"

This wasn't just a simple case of taking advantage anymore. This required a heavy fist!!

The Emperor was angry.
