《Another World and I'm still rich?》Chapter 38. HQ Building.
Advertisement
As I get up from my bed and head towards the construction site, I notice something.
(A mass of people infront of my HQ?)
I walk towards the mass of people and I see that there are already construction workers building the second floor.
As I push myself through the mass of people, I see that the five Guild Masters are explaining to the people what is going on and when Bunvers notices me, he immediatly bows and the others follow suit.
"Open the path for the Headmaster, citizens!" Bunvers immediatly shouts while bowing.
The crowd all walk away from me whilst I stay in place as I knew I was the Headmaster.
I walk towards Bunvers and the rest and I notice my companions coming towards me from the direction of the mansion.
"You can stop bowing now. Can somebody explain the situation to me quickly?" I ask them and they all lift their heads.
Bunvers looks to his left and right and finally starts explaining.
"The people noticed that yesterday something was going on here but they didn't want to come close as they thought it was just another expansion but today, a man came and asked what was going on. I told him that we were building a HQ for the Headmaster of our Union and he immediatly rushed somewhere and after a while, a crowd of people appeared demanding explanations to who is this new Headmaster and why we are all suddenly working together 100%.
That is all that happened, Headmaster. I've also taken the liberty to start construction before you got here as to speed up the construction." Bunvers gives me the explanation and also explains why the workers are here so early.
I think for a bit and my companions finally reach my location.

"You all handled the situation well and Bunvers, your decision to start work early is good. I won't punish you or anything." I tell Bunvers as I can see that he is worried.
They all bow again and immediatly continue building the HQ as the crowd slowly becomes bigger but doesn't come close enough to hinder the construction.
I also help the workers and so do my Guild Members to hasten up the construction since time is of the essence.
After we work for 2 or so hours, some civilians dissapear and quickly reappear in working clothes and join our construction workers after getting some hints from them on how to build the HQ properly.
(Seems like they might want to get some favors before my HQ is built and my business is up. I might actually give away some money as a 'Thank You' for them so we build it quicker... Yeah, I'll do that at the end of the day.)
Due to the sudden influx of new workers, the speed of the construction is, at first, slower but after a while they get used to building such a HQ and our speed hastenes.
After a day of building, the sun starts setting.
"All right! Today's work is over! Get back home to your families! Today there were no injuries, not even minor ones!" Bunvers shouts out orders and news fast and all the workers started slowly leaving.
I am standing near the only exit and give all the Civilian Workers, who did it for free and aren't being payed, some money which was around 80% of what the actual workers get.
The instant I give them the money, their eyes are filled with happiness and they bow infront of me before running off.
After half an hour of giving out money, I look at how much work we've done.

"Around 25% done. If we have more workers tomorrow... Our speed should increase and we will be able to finish the third floor and maybe even make it to the sixth. If we do make it to the sixth floor... Then we only need to make four more and that'd be the end of the HQ building for now." I think out loud to myself and Dominic comes out from nowhere again.
He looks at the building.
"That's quite a bit of work done in one day. I guess they really are putting their all in it." Dominic says and then laughs.
"Though the second floor is nothing impressive to look at compared to the first. It is just a storage area so far anyways." I say whilst smiling as I am also gladdened by the speed of the construction.
I look around and see nobody else except me and Dominic.
"I'm going to guess that the others returned to the mansion and you didn't see me so you came to see what I was doing, am I right?" I ask Dominic and he just nods.
"Scarlett's been waiting for you. Every time I asked what she was doing, peeking at the front door, she ran away from me whilst blushing. It's quite cute. I think you've got my daughter completely under your charms, Colin. Emmaline also won't say what Scarlett's doing and Zach's been saying that it's none of the men's business and we should stay out of it.
And Zach always puts his nose into stuff he shouldn't so I'm quite surprised at how much you've changed my family with the limited amount of interaction you've had with them. It's changing my entire family for the better." Dominic tells me what's been going on whilst I've been building my HQ.
I laugh for a bit before I answer Dominic
"I guess I might be." Dominic and I laugh again before I continue "I'm quite tired so what do you think about going back to the mansion?"
"Sounds like a good idea. I think Scarlett's asleep right now though. Emmaline was asking her to take a rest and so far, I've not seen Scarlett ignore a single thing Emmaline asks of her." Dominic tells me a little bit more while we walk to the mansion.
When we get to the Mansion, I say goodbye to Dominic and immediatly head to sleep.
