123. Please (1)
At the end of the black market, next to the office for the Crime Firm employees.
There was an old skinny gentleman sitting on an empty desk.
He also said that he is an employee of the crime firm, and is mainly in charge of selling ‘special products’ handled directly by the crime firm.
The body was, of course, one of them.
“So. You want corpses of doctors and warlocks?”
“Yeah, I wish Warlocks weren’t just warlocks, they were manipulative, and I wish they were a corpse specialist. He also has surgical skills.”
Oliver calmly explained the conditions he wanted.
The old gentleman with gilt-rimmed glasses filled out the documents according to the words.
After writing all the squares, the old gentleman raised his gilded glasses once.
“The conditions are strict. What level do you think it is?”
Rating.
Joe explained in advance.
As Oliver ordered, corpses with special conditions were divided into grades.
Taken from n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲
Naturally, the higher the grade, the higher the quality and the higher the price.It is divided into a total of five grades, and from the second grade onwards, there are some who have made their name known in their respective occupational groups.
“Well·····. How about 3rd grade?”
The gilded old gentleman answered, flipping over the paperwork.
“Doctors are 120 million and warlocks are 200 million, but considering the conditions you ordered, you should receive 300 million.”
Oh My God·····. Oliver was the first to realize the fear of money.
You risked your life to earn 400 million won easily.
To be honest, I thought I was going to live a leisurely life… I thought this was too easy.
When Oliver was silent, the old gentleman took off his glasses and spoke politely.
“The product itself is special and difficult to handle, so the price is a bit high. We always try to stock up on products, so you can come after saving a little more money. I’m always here-“
“-Can I hear the 4th grade price by any chance? The doctor will remain the same, and the warlock will change the conditions only to the Manipulation-Command series without any additional conditions.”
A gilded old gentleman who stops.
Putting on the glasses again, I corrected the text and opened the new document to look at it.
There was a bang, pal, bang, bang, and then it stopped.
“One of the corpses of a Grade 4 doctor is just in time. It is Randa 90 million, but the expiration date is near, so I think we can give it to Randa 81 million with a 10% discount.”
“Oh, that’s good.”
“Let’s see…and the Warlock can sell it for Randa 170 million.”
81 million, 170 million. Altogether, it is 255 million.
It was a huge expense, but it wasn’t something that could not be paid.
However, if you add up the other medicines, work tools, and tools you bought earlier, you would be wasting a significant amount of this remuneration.
a little hesitant
Money itself wasn’t a problem, but I was worried that if I used up this money now, I might get in trouble later when I needed it.
I also wondered if it was right to spend this amount of money to make a sub-invoice doll.
After thinking for a while, Oliver spoke up.
“······ I would like to order two of them. When can I get it?”
Oliver decided to focus on the present.
It was money to make more money. It was better to do the experiment as soon as possible.
I could feel Joe, who was behind his back, a little surprised by the fairly large amount. It was the same with the gilt-rimmed old gentleman who sat in front of him.
“Are you buying it?”
“Yes. Do you have any problem····?”
“no····. You can receive the item in a week at the latest and 10 days at the latest. The total amount is Randa 251 million.”
“Yes.”
Oliver nodded in reply.
I felt a little late, but there was nothing I could do about the procedures and rules here.
I’d rather do something else in the meantime.
The gilded old gentleman spoke again.
“Then, may I ask you to fill out the paperwork here? And I would like you to pay half of the price as a down payment now. It’s a rule.”
Oliver nodded and pulled out a wallet-type gluttonous bag.
I pulled out all the money from a bearer bank account in case something like this happens, and it was really fortunate.
Oliver forcibly opened the mouth of the gluttonous bag and shoved his forearm deep into it.
Oh-?!
I wiggled my arms, and after a while, a response came from the inside of the gluttonous bag.
Oliver held the gluttonous bag upside down.
“Kueek-! Replying to @Jackson Replying to @Jackson Replying to @Jackson
With the sound of regurgitating what was inside, bundles of money fell on the desk.
It was easy to clean up because he vomited out a bunch of bills, but the gluttonous bag, who was the party, burst into tears from his five eyes as if in agony.
Oliver did not miss the momentum and comforted him by waving more up and down.
“I’m sorry. little bit more. I’ll give you one 10,000 randa later.”
Queek-!
Queek-!
Sew–!
Finally, the gluttonous bag drooped and vomited everything.
The golden old gentleman was startled for a moment, then regained his composure and began to organize the money.
He started stacking the bundled bills one by one, and in the middle, he touched the bills with his fingertips to check the amount.
After a while. He said.
“125 million Randa . . . . Exactly right.”
“yes·····. Oh, and the paperwork is here.”
Oliver said as he turned over the completed paperwork.
The only way to write it was to write down the name and check whether the ordered product was written on the document.
The gilded old gentleman looked at the documents and said.
“Is your name Dave Wright?”
“Yes.”
“okay·····. We will ensure that you receive your order on time. Take this.”
The gilded old gentleman held out the iron key.
“I have checked your face, but I’m giving you this in case you don’t know. Losing it doesn’t mean you can’t get it, but it’s more convenient for each other to bring it.”
Oliver understood the meaning.
Procedures for security. Oliver replied that he would not lose it, and then stood up.
As I was about to leave, the gilded old gentleman said.
“It is an honor to trade. Dave.”
“·····Yes, thank you.”
Oliver responded with a strange sense of incongruity. Should I be a little more kind?
After finishing his last chores, Oliver and Joe walked out of the black market.
When I went up the basement and came out of the parking lot, I was greeted by the gloomy sky unique to Landa.
“Now it’s my turn to keep my promise.”
Oliver asked, looking at Joe who was following him. Joe was silent, hiding his tension.
“But can you tell me why? Why do you want to fight me?”
***
Oliver and Joe went to a less crowded corner outside Area R.
It is a ruin that has stopped construction due to a series of incidents during the redevelopment, and said that it was a place that Joe found out because of the business of the Black Market.
“What is your job?”
“execution. People who cheat on the black market or employees who stole things are executed here.”
It was faint, as if to prove him in reality, but it looked like bloodstains.
“It’s ironic, but this market also needs trust, so it’s surprisingly well managed. We are always monitoring and weeding out tenants who sell defective products and employees who change things.”
“Everyone is passionate about this work. great.”
Oliver said sincerely.
It was a great and important job to work hard.
Joe’s eyes narrowed and he looked at Oliver.
“…Did I make a mistake?”
“No, I just wanted to be a weirdo.”
Joe answered, taking off his suit and wristwatch and rolling up his forearms.
“Okay then, let’s stick together.”
“Wait. I haven’t gotten an answer to my question yet. Why do you want to fight me?”
“That’s right, I’ll give you an answer after fighting!”
As Joe finished speaking, he kicked a piece of brick that had fallen to the ground.
Pak-! A rock the size of a fist flew towards Oliver’s face with a sound.
Oliver reflexively swung the quarterstaff to smash the bricks.
Pak-! With a dull sound, Joe, who had already strengthened his body with black magic, ran in front of Oliver with even his knuckles on.
He was faster and more skillful than when we first met.
“like······.”
Shh-! A fist flew into Oliver’s face with a ripping sound.
It was sharp as a razor, but Oliver narrowly stepped back and avoided it.
“yes?”
“Ah, sorry. I’ll borrow some.”
Oliver said after extracting a portion of the black magic he had put into Joe’s body.
It was more of a reflex action rather than a deliberate act.
Joe was surprised too.
“········.”
Either way, Oliver extracted the life force from the test tube he kept in his bosom, then changed the borrowed black magic and put it together.
[Black suit ver. 2]
After making the emotions and vitality like threads, they were woven together like weaving cloth, and then wrapped around the body and quarter staff as they were.
I remember the first time I met Joe.
As if Joe remembered that time, he opened his eyes meaningfully, extracted his emotions, strengthened his body, and then took a stance again.
What kind of determination was evident. Extremely serious commitment.
Tak- Tak- Tak-
Joe clenched his fists into a pose and started running in place.
His breathing was steady and his eyes were sharp.
Oliver pushed the quarter staff forward to respond.
A posture that best utilizes the strengths of the quarter staff, a soldier.
fault! ride it!
Joe moved. Concentrating energy on his legs, he moved surprisingly quickly to close the distance.
The movement itself was also flexible and sharp, making it difficult to follow with the ordinary eyes.
usually by eye.
Tang!
Boo!
Joe increased his speed and approached. Oliver swung his quarterstaff along the path of travel.
Although he swung at the right timing, Joe quickly lowered his waist to avoid the attack. That wasn’t enough, so he gathered his energy into his fists in that crouched posture and threw them out.
Pang–!!!
The precise mechanical punch made an explosion sound like a bomb and aimed at Oliver’s chest.
Oliver quickly pulled the quarterstaff to protect his chest.
Taken from n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲
Not all, but after the battle with Duncan, I was able to indirectly know where the opponent was going to attack, otherwise I would have been a beat late.Tung—–!!!
The knuckle that collided with the quarter staff made a roar.
The sound of huge iron and iron colliding.
But Joe didn’t mind and kicked straight down.
He focused his black magic energy on his legs in an instant and increased his attack power, but he was definitely more proficient than before.
Instead of allowing this attack, Oliver slammed the quarterstaff to attack.
If they exchange blows with each other, Oliver, who has high black magic firepower, has an advantage.
But what is this Joe clasped his shoulders and spun around, barely avoiding.
A technique of the body that is separate from black magic.
Oliver asked with admiration.
“Incredible. Where is this-”
ㅡBang!!
Joe immediately punched his fist. Oliver raised an arm to block it.
There was no damage or pain because he was wearing a black suit, but he could feel the power indirectly. It was a fist that would be minced meat for an average person.
It’s definitely stronger than it was before.
Did you do any training? It was great.
The rushing attack of Joe. Oliver confronts it.
As Oliver’s and Joe’s attacks switched, the sound of the slicing of the wind and the clashing of iron reverberated like a storm.
Most of Oliver’s attacks ended up dodging or passing through, but Joe’s attacks hit Oliver’s body well about once in three.
Oliver is actually stepping back.
Also, in close combat, he was defeated by Joe.
Still, Joe grew increasingly impatient and pushed Oliver desperately.
“Ahhhh!”
Instead of punching, Joe switched steps and attempted a head-butt at Oliver.
Oliver reacted a beat late to the unexpected attack.
He tried to hold on, but Joe used his weight to push Oliver into the wall after being demolished.
Oliver was cloudy and his back hit the wall.
That was then. Joe concentrated much of the energy that had been standing on his body in his right fist, then grabbed it with his left hand and swung it with all his might.
Bang ━━━━━━!!!
Oliver flies back in shock. Not only did it fly away, but the wall that supported the back collapsed as well.
A fairly powerful attack. Oliver’s incontinence black suit represented this.
Although it was an attack method that required a lot of pressure on the body, the power was real no matter what.
swish-!
Oliver, who had fallen backwards, rose to his feet and swung his quarterstaff towards Joe as he was running.
Boom ━━━━!
Joe, who was running in a hurry, raised the guard in bewilderment, but the guard opened due to the difference in the firepower of black magic.
“Ugh-!”
Joe’s posture collapses in shock and pain.
Oliver got up quickly and swung the quarterstaff again, and Joe defended, but could not completely block the attack and flew back.
Before, I had been pushed into the wall I had desperately pushed into. It was quite a shocking expression.
I didn’t understand. Compared to the past, my skills have improved enough, so why?
“hey·····.”
“Yes?”
Joe sighed and said. He looked pretty tired.
“Do it right.”
“yes?”
“Don’t look at me, I’m going to hit you right. So that I can properly know my skills. Don’t deal with it in moderation.”
words of unknown reason. However, Joe’s words were sincere.
His feelings were extremely serious.
Complex emotions such as jealousy, curiosity, fear, courage, resentment, recognition, anger, patience, sadness, and hope were shining.
It was a pretty light.
Looking at the light, Oliver answered.
“Yes, I understand.”
