“Lord, I have committed a mortal sin!”
federal empire.
Hearing that name, the general manager’s head hit the floor before he knew it.
“Have you committed a mortal sin?”
“Yes, yes!”
“Hoo.”
I lowered my crossed legs and watched them with interest.
However, in the eyes of the general manager, even such a figure seemed to be seen only as an executioner who was about to be guillotined.
that would be too,
“You guys probably weren’t unaware that there was a ‘him’ from the Commonwealth Empire behind Asus. If it’s you guys who have been receiving various conveniences by clinging to Asus’s prestige.”
“Yes, how can we forget that fact! You are right!”
In fact, there is no way that the guy who was able to make profits thanks to that would not know.
Who is Asus’s true supporter?
Also, what it means to disappoint ‘them’ on the subject of mere blackmail.
At that moment, I felt small signs outside the door.
-General manager?
– What are you doing!
They were guards.
Then the general manager shouted with all his might.
“Everyone, shut up and get out of here! How dare you guys interrupt a conversation with a distinguished guest!”
-yes… … yes! sorry!
“damn… … .”
Whoop- whoop-
Then, as if he had hit his head, he began to breathe.
I looked down at it and made a small sneer that I couldn’t see.
‘Well, for now, it’s successful.’
Just fooled by the smoke, that look that looks like it’s going to drain all of its liver and gallbladder right away.
Not a bad reaction.
No, it was a really pleasant reaction.
It’s useful, so it’s a pity that I can’t kill it right here.
… … But it was still not enough.
Now that I had firmly imprinted on him that I was sent from the Federation, I had to come up with something more definitive.
Something that will make you promise to give up even your heart and bones.
I said, holding back the laughter that was about to escape from my lips.
“Do you think Asus or the like died, would he even take his eyes off Esteban?”
“It’s not like that… … .”
“Then why did you touch something he didn’t allow you to do?”
“That, it was, by chance… … .”
“Hmm. You didn’t mean to, and you didn’t even dare to guess that you would let go?”
“… … That’s right.”
He bowed his head even deeper as if to say that the words were not false.
On the contrary, my smile as I looked at him gradually began to grow thicker.
Like teasing its prey. slowly.
That moment.
“If not, you must have thought that he was so stupid that he couldn’t even recognize his tricks.”
“Absolutely not! I just… … .”
“Did you think that if things went wrong, you could take refuge in the branch you started building in the south?”
“… … !”
The general manager shook his head in amazement.
“That, how!”
The southern branch of the guild, which had been secretly being built not too long ago. I was speechless at the fact that I was aware of its existence.
However, at the words that followed, I had no choice but to put my head on the floor again.
“In front of whom do you raise your head?”
“I’m sorry!”
Now the general manager’s body trembled with fear.
It was exactly the reaction I had intended.
‘As expected.’
It was clear that there was no doubt left in his mind.
On the contrary, he must have realized that his life would not be spared if he perpetrated such a ploy.
Then it was time to harvest the loot.
I said coldly to the general manager, who was lying flat on the floor.
“I didn’t participate in the auction to see your face. I was just following orders to retrieve things.”
“… … .”
“What could be more annoying than having to personally attend the auction and collect the items?”
It was more like an accusatory tone rather than a question.
However, he forcibly rolled his head in fear and came up with the correct answer.
“I will give you the auction items you won for free!”
“That is normal.”
“… … .”
I smiled and continued.
“I don’t think that’s all the things Asus entrusted me with? Where are the rest?”
“I will give you everything! I’m going to tell the lower ones right now to put them together with the auction items!”
“Right.”
It was a poke because the items on the auction were a little different from the lists I knew before returning, but since they said they were willing to give them away, it seemed that there were leftovers as expected.
I’m sorry.
“Well, okay. That should be enough. This time, in particular, he will pass.”
“then… … .”
In an instant, the man’s expression softened.
As soon as the story goes peacefully and smoothly, it is hoped that it can go smoothly.
Of course, I had no intention of ending it like this.
“Until now, orders from above. But, aren’t there any remaining debts between us?”
“… … yes?”
“What do you think would have happened to you if I hadn’t participated in the auction?”
It was like catching a floating cloud.
But suddenly, something passed through his mind.
“Mu, thank you for being considerate so that I can retrieve it without any problems! If he wasn’t a nobleman, I would have offended him without even knowing the subject!”
“that’s right. If it wasn’t for me, Asus’ goods would have been scattered all over the country. The recovery would have been like crossing the water.”
“No way!”
Of course, there was a way to stop the auction so it wouldn’t fall into the hands of others.
However, if that was the case, there would be a high possibility that the guild, which was operated based on trust, would suffer a blow.
And from the moment I found out about it.
To him, before I knew it, the existence of me had become something close to a life saver.
“I just need something.”
“yes! Just tell me, and I will definitely save it.”
good attitude Give and take. Is this the virtue of a black trader?
My lips curled long.
Eventually, I lowered my head and whispered so softly that only he could hear.
“The fruit that blooms from the Eleira flower.”
“… … !”
“If you say that, you understand?”
“That, that… … .”
The general manager stuttered in embarrassment.
It was natural.
A raw material for narcotic hallucinogens.
Not only was it expensive and difficult to find, it was something that neither existed nor should have existed in Esteban in the first place.
“But it’s a guy that is only occasionally found in the southern continent, so it’s hard to find right now… … Besides, these days, the boundary of the border is strict… … .”
“Your tongue is long for a subject who owes his life.”
“Oh, can that be? If you don’t mind taking a little time, I’ll try to get it somehow.”
“until when?”
“Just give me this week’s time.”
“good.”
I nodded in satisfaction, and threw something at the head of the man who fell to the floor.
What fell out of nowhere was a note with something written on it.
“Let me read it.”
Then the general manager hurriedly picked up the note and listened to it.
“This… … .”
“The place written there is the most remote place in Esteban’s capital city. Not to mention the security, even the people are rare.”
“Ahh.”
“The deadline is on time in two weeks. Place the Eleira flower fruit there. The collection book will collect it directly.”
And I haven’t forgotten the last advice.
“Don’t forget that this is your last chance.”
“I will keep that in mind.”
gulp-
The man’s neck groaned loudly.
I looked down at the figure and moved my steps slowly.
Just like the first time I came, it was an exit without any message.
“… … .”
From noble mtl dot com.
jerk- jerk-
-Ahh! The 21st VIP sold the Elixir of Life for 1.1 million gold!
When I arrived at the auction house again, the auction was almost at the end.
Occasionally, the gazes we met were wary, but we didn’t care and just moved on.
At that time, I found the baron frozen and laughed.
“… … It seems like he told me to win the bid without missing anything.”
Looking at that firm appearance, it seems that he only kept his seat, let alone bidding.
With that easy-going personality, could he have moved even one finger?
I should have at least explained that there was no way the money would go out and come out.
‘Well, I don’t think he would have participated, though.’
I went up to the baron and patted him on the shoulder.
Then, leaving the baron staring at me in amazement, he smiled contentedly and said:
“Everything is over, so get up now. As soon as things are ready, they go back.”
“D-Finally… … Yes, I understand!”
All that was left was to wait for the time.
* * *
“… … sh*t.”
The eventful auction is over.
The general manager must have been exhausted by that fact alone and could not move a single step from his seat.
Being threatened with life was just as exhausting.
“A threat to your life?”
Suddenly, the general manager who muttered that, laughed.
Can that be compared to a threat to one’s life?
He who speaks so… … Those who do not know about the 4th prince, or even if they do know, do not notice the ego hidden inside.
but he knows
The lunatic’s laugh hidden behind a decent mask.
The true form of a blood-crazed tyrant.
It wasn’t a threat to life, it was close to the devil’s judgment that even subordinated the soul.
“… … Damn, I thought the guy I thought was an unwanted guest would save me.”
“General manager.”
“hahahaha, what else?”
Suddenly, the subordinate who entered the room approached with a frown on his face.
The terrifying 2-meter tall body was dotted with doubts.
“I even confirmed that they were moving in a wagon. Shall I ask the lower ones to chase after me?”
“… … Are you following me?”
“Yes, their behavior is suspicious no matter how you look at it. If you think about it, yes.”
The giant’s subordinates started talking excitedly.
Without even noticing that the general manager’s expression was distorted.
“An Asus representative appears at this timing? That’s where it gets weird. If he really had an agent, the property would be given to him as soon as he died… … .”
“… … shut up.”
“I must have come to find… … yes?”
“Shut up you bastard!”
puck!
“evil!”
The general manager kicked his subordinate in the shin with the tip of his shoe.
The expression on the servant’s face, which was suddenly beaten, was full of absurdity.
“Oh no, why… … .”
“This bastard is already disturbed, but he’s f*cking talking nonsense!”
“That, that… … .”
It might have felt pitiful to see his 2-meter-long body staggering, but the general manager’s wrath did not end.
“If you don’t know anything, don’t go out! Shut up and do as I say!”
“I’m sorry!”
“… … ha. Yes, what are you guilty of?”
The general manager, who had been holding his head like that, shook his head.
Soon after, I washed my face dry.
‘What are you doing to take out your anger on someone you don’t know anything about?’
Subha does not know the relationship between the Federation Empire and Asus.
They just know that they are agents who came to find Asus’ property. That’s why he wouldn’t have liked it from the beginning to give away the auction item without receiving a penny.
Yes, I can understand that far.
However, it should never happen to stimulate a polite man by making a hasty move at will.
Even if I had to get angry and stop it, I didn’t dare to do that.
“You must never pursue or monitor them. It is the same even after delivering the fruit. That is the only way we can live now.”
“yes? Oh, I see.”
“… … It’s okay, so let’s go.”
“yes.”
clap-
“… … Whoa.”
When the subordinate went outside, the general manager got up from his seat, clearing his head of embarrassment.
There was no time for this.
“I’ll have to find someone who knows the whereabouts of the Eleira flowers.”
last chance.
If you miss even that, you really won’t even have a single life left.
