Hans didn't actually announce that Revenge Shadow Rider would come. He just stood at the door shouting that everyone should work hard, and the bonus next month might double or even more than double. As for why, Hans said he would release a big surprise tomorrow morning, and as for tonight, everyone should carry on with their business as usual.

In fact, Hans hadn't planned to hint at this, but he couldn't contain his excitement. It felt like a secret that, if not shared, would make him ill.

Hearing the news and recalling Hans's expression when he announced it, even if he didn't say anything specific, people still started to speculate in a certain direction.

This kind of good news is impossible to keep secret. With regular business operations, let alone doubling the bonus, even if gifts were distributed during holidays, employees would spread the word and everyone would know. Not to mention Hans, the Sword Holder, said it himself, so by the next day, all the night shift workers had arrived to find out first-hand what exactly Hans meant by doubling the bonus.

——

The next day arrived quickly, and the air at dawn was always fresh and beautiful.

That day, as the spirited Hans arrived at the company, he saw that the entrance was packed with people, even including some who were not employees of the company, gathered inexplicably under the office building.

Hans quickly guessed the cause of the problem, realizing that perhaps it was the news he let slip the previous night that led to internal staff spreading the rumor, with more meticulous thinkers associating the whole affair with Revenge Shadow Rider.

After all, the current galactic warfare had been full of challenges, and arriving at this day wasn't easy. Three and a half years ago, they had almost been unable to pay wages, and if it hadn't been for bank loans, combined with the camaraderie with employees who followed him for years, it was questionable whether the company could have survived.

But, as the saying goes, "thirty years is the river east, thirty years is the river west," Hans believes the day will come when he will turn things around.

The transitional period might be lengthy, but as long as one believes in Revenge Shadow Rider, they will certainly grant you one hundred and twenty percent rewards. Fortunately, yesterday, Hans finally welcomed a miraculous turn of events.

Unfortunately, he couldn't contain his excitement, but it was beyond help. Regardless of the situation, once it's associated with Revenge Shadow Rider, Hans couldn't stay calm and composed. Looking back, he had endured so many years, so why not this one day?

But all is well. Since the news was out, there was no need to keep it a secret any longer.

So upon arriving at the company, Hans first pushed through the crowd and instructed the employees who were still working to gather in the conference room because he intended to deliver the announcement in the large staff meeting room.

A few minutes later, the meeting room was filled to capacity, and even employees who were out on business rushed over upon hearing the news. Hans signaled everyone to quiet down; today he was going to announce something important. As the room fell silent, Hans immediately noticed Little Wang who was on duty, "Little Wang, weren't you supposed to be on a procurement mission? Why are you back so quickly?"

Upon hearing this, Little Wang's face changed, and the department manager gave him a stern look at the same time.

"Ah… Mr. Hans," Little Wang scratched his head, somewhat guiltily, "I left my phone in the locker room, came back to get it, and upon hearing about the employee meeting, I followed up."

"Tsk, you can't even fabricate a decent lie; I used to play those tricks when I was young."

Hans's voice made the employees attending the meeting want to laugh, but in the quiet atmosphere, no one dared to laugh. They all held back their amusement, knowing Hans was quite approachable in normal life. However, when it came to matters of principle, Hans was very meticulous.

"Mr. Hans, I… I'll go now."

"Come back, I'll let it slide this time, but let's not make it a habit." Hans seemed in an exceptionally good mood today, joking with Little Wang a few more times. After all, the young man had been with him for years, working diligently, and it wasn't worth criticizing for such a small issue. Furthermore, regarding Revenge Shadow Rider, Hans believes that every employee in the company deserves to know.

After saying a few simple words, Hans then solemnly straightened his stance, took a deep breath, and said, "Comrades, yesterday I received an email."

"An email?"

"What email?"

"You ask me, who should I ask?"

"Hmph, probably…"

As soon as Hans spoke, the conference room erupted in a mosquito-like buzz of discussion, and only then did the secretary who fetched files the previous night realize that things might not be as she thought. After all, Hans was a notable figure; even though sometimes he acted capriciously or strangely, even if he was messing around, it wouldn't make Hans this flustered.

Unless it's one person, whose name is renowned across the world.

Thinking of this, the young and beautiful secretary's heart started pounding wildly. Although she had only just joined the Galactic Warfare company for two years, she longed for its former glory and deeply regretted not being able to work for the company during Revenge Shadow Rider's era.

If she had been in Star Wars back then, in a sense, perhaps she would have had some level of connection with Revenge Shadow Rider—a truly proud and glorious link.

During her over a year on the job, she had never seen the CEO show such an expression as he had yesterday. But today, when Hans said he had an important announcement, coupled with the employees' discussions and the email Hans mentioned, she couldn't help but associate everything with Revenge Shadow Rider.

While she pondered this, Hans boldly declared on stage, "I think many comrades have already guessed that person's identity."

Amidst the noise from the audience, a rare graying smile appeared on Hans's face. He said, "Yes, just as everyone thinks, throughout these four years, we have followed Star Wars through numerous versions, braving great storms and seeing ups and downs. We have shown the world our brilliance. Unfortunately, as the virus spread, we gradually declined, but I always believed this was temporary. Thankfully, everyone never gave up, pursuing our dream. Now, our efforts are about to be rewarded."

Hans had barely finished speaking when the audience burst into uproarious noise. At this moment, he need not say more; without a doubt, the person Hans spoke about could only be Revenge Shadow Rider. Apart from Revenge Shadow Rider, nothing else in this world could possibly bring Star Wars back to its former glory.

Listening to the commotion, Hans paused slightly, held his breath for a few moments, and then signaled with a smile for everyone to calm. At least this moment was solemn, Hans said, "For many years, thank you for not abandoning us. But today, I want to tell everyone that success is within reach— at the same time, when the next version update is released, that heralds the return of the Shadow Rider. Therefore, in the coming time, please work hard with one hundred twenty percent effort, so we can complete the tasks ahead of schedule and welcome the New Year sooner."

The room erupted with applause, and whispering employees seemed almost intoxicated. Even those with longer tenure shed tears of excitement! Speculation was one thing, but hearing from Hans that Revenge Shadow Rider was about to return was another. They never dared to hope for a day when Galactic Warfare would indeed see the return of Revenge Shadow Rider.

Yes, Revenge Shadow Rider hadn't abandoned everyone; Revenge Shadow Rider wasn't that kind of person. The reason for its departure must have been to fulfill certain missions. Today, it is back, finally back!!
