Jaw clenching
Kikkik-.
The iron door opened with a heavy sound.
When he turned his head, a weasel was peeking its head out through the gap in the door.
The weasel who saw me opened its eyes wide and then quickly smiled awkwardly.
“It’s time to eat, brother.”
“okay.”
“Are you ready here?”
When I nodded, the weasel shouted, ‘You can eat here!!’
“lol.”
The weasel rubbed his palms with his characteristically mischievous smile.
A few days after being hit, the weasel slowly regained its former self.
‘It doesn’t last as long as I thought.’
But unlike before, I didn’t feel like he was aiming for the back of my head. No, rather, he was trying to get closer to me somehow.
Then Kel and Berman came in.
As soon as the two men came in, a strong smell wafted out.
“Oh, what is fish bread?”
“That… That’s when I met Masha and….”
Kel was slightly surprised and trailed off.
“Who did you meet? Is it you? I told you not to go to Marsha’s fish and bread shop.”
“No… I was handing over that corpse… Aaak!!”
I gently patted Kel’s head.
It was only a slight pinch, but Kel, who was very playful, screamed and rolled around.
“Brother! I knew you’d do this, so I brought Delmuto’s meat bread and some ice-cold beer! Hehe···.”
The weasel smiled wickedly, holding out the basket.
“Delmuto?”
“···The name of the wizard who casts a washing spell on my brother every day.”
The weasel answered with wide eyes.
“Ah. Delmont.”
Meanwhile, Kel and Berman roughly cleared the floor and made room.
Kel took a long handkerchief out of his bosom and laid it on the floor.
I waited until he had folded his handkerchief neatly, then sat down on it.
“Ah! Really! Doesn’t the captain have a handkerchief too!!”
Kel let out a groan and took another one out of his bosom, spreading it on the ground.
Kel carefully unfolded the newly taken out handkerchief.
This time, a weasel sat down on it.
Then Kel struck the weasel on the back of the head. The weasel, hit hard, rolled around on the floor.
“Outside?”
“As the commander had expected, demons rose in the square. The knights and inquisitors waiting nearby took care of him, and are using his corpses to put pressure on other containment sites.”
Hmm… I nodded slightly and picked up the meat bread and put it in my mouth.
‘It might end surprisingly quickly.’
The demon corpse thrown in front of him. The anxiety that there might be a way to identify the demon. The crowd psychology that was pulling him up even more. If he could withstand the pressure from that, he wouldn’t have fallen for the demon in the first place.
The plan, with the input of Parsi, the abbot, and Nova, worked out better than expected.
‘It may also be that the medieval people were ignorant.’
It was as simple as it was ignorant, and thus easy to predict.
“I think it will end sooner than I thought.”
Berman said, handing me a mug of beer.
“I don’t know. It might not have been completely filtered out from the plaza.”
“If you listen to the story from the Inquisitor’s side, it seems like everything has been filtered out.”
“Um… Which heretic inquisitor?”
“Huh? Oh, it’s the man’s side.”
“Well, that could be possible.”
As I took a big bite of the meat bread, the rich meat juice burst out, followed by the characteristic meaty smell of the Middle Ages.
“Ugh… ughhhhhhhhhhhhh!!”
At that moment, the tied up man screamed and woke up as if having a seizure.
“Are you awake?”
“What the… What the… My head was clearly broken by that punk?”
“What’s wrong with breaking? Kids these days are really mean.”
“If the leader swung a hammer in front of you, who wouldn’t be shocked?”
Kel was fidgeting and grumbling.
“Weasel. Get rid of it. If you can’t get rid of it….”
I swallowed my words.
“Yes! I understand!!”
Then the weasel rushed at Kel.
“This… this kid!”
Kel was startled and hit the weasel on the head with his beer mug. The weasel rolled around on the floor again.
“Grab his neck with your right hand!”
I chuckled and threw a little bit of advice.
The weasel reached out and grabbed Kel by the neck, and the two rolled around on the floor, tangled together. It was quite amusing to see them tossing and turning.
“What is this···”
The tied man muttered in a hoarse voice.
“Let him go.”
Berman got up from his seat and untied the man tied to the board.
“You come and eat some too.”
“Hey···here···?”
I looked around at the guy’s muttering.
A few corpses placed as background props with fresh blood. The moisture from the black blood that hadn’t been cleaned off after the last work.
‘It’s not a very good environment for eating.’
I felt like I had become dull because I had been doing repetitive tasks.
That doesn’t mean there was time to go out and eat. This work had to be finished as quickly as possible to minimize the damage.
“If you don’t like it, then don’t say anything. If you leave, you won’t be able to eat anything.”
I ended up focusing on the meat buns.
The guy who had been watching me sat down next to me. When I saw him trying to pick up the meat bread, I nodded to him and pointed to the fish bread.
The startled boy picked up the fish bread with trembling hands. He quickly closed his eyes, took a big bite of the fish bread, and stopped.
In that state, the guy just rolled his eyes and looked at me.
When I playfully lowered my hand, the guy started moving his mouth vigorously.
“Ha… Surrender! I surrender! I surrender!”
“What does this kid think of me as···.”
It was a close match, so Kel’s breathing was rough.
“You guys, stop playing and come eat.”
The weasel glanced at Kel and snatched up the meat bun.
“You lost, so it’s fish bread.”
“Eww! Brother!!”
At my command, the weasel picked up the fish bread and cried.
After dinner, we resumed work.
The one who finished the inspection was taken away by the weasel, Kel and Berman cleaned up, and I headed to the next room.
A man was tied up in a damp room.
‘This kid is a vampire.’
Now that I have accumulated enough know-how, I can get a rough idea just by watching the other person’s reaction.
The non-vampires were shaking in fear, not knowing why they had been captured, but the vampires were trying to act as if nothing had happened and were making faces as if they needed to pee.
“What the hell is going on, Aaron!”
This guy looked like he needed to pee.
‘Because it might be really annoying.’
I didn’t answer, but walked over and swung the hammer.
The hammer stopped just in front of the guy’s forehead.
“Kyahahahahahaha!!”
The guy started yapping.
“If you know anything, tell me. Okay?”
I spoke briefly while looking at the guy who kept grinding his teeth and aimed the hammer at his arm.
“Kyahahahaha! Black blood! Kyahaaaaah! Okay… Wait a minute, Kyaaaaak!”
It didn’t take long for the jaw clenching to turn into a scream.
“Ah! I don’t know much either! I just came to Cassidy recently… Harn next door, Pultane behind, and….”
Unlike when he was yapping, he obediently blew out various things. I compared it with the information I had heard from other vampires. It seemed like there was no loyalty between them, as most of what he said was similar to what other guys said.
“I said everything.”
“okay,”
“I just···.”
I swung my hammer while looking the bastard in the eye.
There was a slight lingering feeling of unease, but it disappeared when I turned my head.
They untied the rope that bound the guy and dragged the body out. Soon, Kel and Berman came in and took the body away, bowing their heads slightly.
I headed to the next room, wondering how many more times I would have to do it.
***
Euaaaah-!
The end was slowly coming into sight. I released the guy who had just passed out and raised my head for a moment.
At that moment, the door opened.
“How many are left now?”
“There are twenty left.”
The answer I heard was not from Kel or Berman.
When I turned my head towards him, there was Nova, frowning deeply.
“orange?”
“I came to check.”
Nova, who had come in calmly, jumped up and let out a small ‘Eww!’ scream when he saw the corpse in the middle.
‘What are you doing?’
Nova took a deep breath for a moment, then returned to her usual cool expression and stood in front of me. Nova’s face turned pale, and she took out a handkerchief from her bosom and tried to wipe my face.
“It’s makeup.”
I raised my hand to stop him.
There’s still work to be done.
“What about makeup? You look tough enough without it.”
Nova lightly ignored my words and tapped my face with a handkerchief. To anyone who saw it, it looked like she was putting on makeup.
“Are you whining?”
“No, I’m afraid the scar will hurt. But… what’s wrong?”
“Okay.”
I snatched the handkerchief and roughly wiped my face.
The white handkerchief suddenly turned black.
“Well written.”
“···Don’t you usually say you’ll wash it thoroughly before giving it to me?”
“It’s yours”
Is that so?
Nova nodded, muttering softly, and carefully picked up the dirty handkerchief.
“Drink this.”
Nova handed me a clean water bottle.
It tasted like a mixture of potion and wine.
“Go now. I have to work.”
“I’ll help you.”
With his pale face and trembling hands, what could he possibly be trying to help with? I nodded and headed to the next room.
Eww!!
“What! Aaron! Are you okay?!”
As the tied-up man screamed, Nova, who was holding a dagger in a clumsy manner, rushed in. His face was pale and his body was shaking. He seemed to be trying hard to keep his wits about him.
“Just go.”
“···I said I would help you?”
Nova, with the corners of her mouth raised, bit her lip tightly and approached me, releasing the tied-up man. When the man fell to the floor, Nova let out a ‘Whoa!’ sound and hid behind me.
‘This is fucking crazy. This is fucking crazy.’
I laughed so hard I coughed.
“···Should I just go?”
Nova looked up at me from behind with a prickly expression.
“I told you to go five times.”
“I told you seven times?”
“Really? Lie down here.”
I just pointed to where the bastard had been tied up.
“I’m going! I’m going!”
Nova sniffled at him and ran to the door.
Before leaving, Nova glared at me and hit my chest, making a ‘bang!’ sound before disappearing.
Thanks to the grab, my mood brightened a little. I moved toward the next room with slightly lighter steps.
After about five more were processed, another visitor arrived.
‘What is this?’
“Ah, the plaza area is finished. This is the last one… Inquisitor Joanna Ethan told us to go this way.”
There were three heretic inquisitors who looked somehow tired and expressionless.
The old man poked the guy next to him as if he wanted to say something, and the guy next to him hesitated for a moment before opening his mouth.
“The rest is up to Inquisitor Joanna Ethan…”
“No. I saw earlier that you weren’t even able to control it properly.”
At my firm answer, Lunggeup hurriedly shook his head. Then he poked the guy next to him again.
“That… was a misunderstanding. Maces aren’t my specialty… It’s easier with a greatsword.”
The old man nodded repeatedly at the stammering words.
But when I shook my head, Lunggyup poked the guy next to him again. The guys sighed deeply and stood in a line.
The sergeant nodded at me, holding the handle of the greatsword.
Looking at that scene reminded me of a bad senior I had in the military.
A guy who saw a Taekwondo demonstration on TV and told everyone to stand in front of him, saying he could do it too.
‘So what happened?’
I don’t remember anything after that.
The three heretic inquisitors, with their eyes tightly shut, desperately searching for God. Behind them, Pyeop stands, swinging his arms and loosening his body.
Even if the heretic inquisitors got hurt, they would take care of it themselves, and since the level of the corpses wasn’t that bad, it seemed okay.
Even if you fail, it won’t be enough to cause your head to break, but it will be enough to cause you to bleed profusely.
Because failure is the mother of success.
There was only one more mother.
The three heretic inquisitors had their eyes tightly shut as if they were about to cry, and the sergeant standing behind them nodded.
‘That sounds fun.’
I clapped and cheered.
Lunggyeop nodded slightly and took out his greatsword.
Boohoo-.
He swung his sword hard, and a bloody, ripping sound echoed through the air.
I habitually remembered its speed and intensity.
Where does the power go when swinging and where does the center appear to be?
It was an incurable occupational disease.
The greatsword of the slain man stopped exactly above the bastard’s head.
‘Not bad.’
Slurp-
A few hairs fell out and the Inquisitor shuddered slightly.
“I··· lived···.”
The inquisitor, who had been speaking softly, recited the prayer again. His faith seemed to have become more sincere.
The next one to move was the lung, this time holding the greatsword in one hand.
‘Isn’t that a bit dangerous?’
“Eek!”
The target of the heresy inquisitor was startled and began to recite the prayer even faster.
Boohoo-.
The greatsword scratched the guy’s scalp ever so slightly.
There was a little blood, but it was within the margin of error.
“Ugh…ugh.”
The man with blood streaming from his forehead blinked and moved to the side. He was truly seeking God and expressing his gratitude.
The last one standing in front of the last guy.
Just then a good idea occurred to me.
“Can you do it blindfolded?”
“Why… why would you say something like that?”
“···oh my god.”
The inquisitors were horrified.
Nod.
The old man nodded his head slightly.
A stark contrast in reactions.
The old man closed his eyes gently.
“The sun always shines on me… No matter what trials and tribulations come, it always leads the way forward….”
The man, whose face looked even more tense than when he had fought the great darkness, began to recite a prayer out loud.
No, not only him, but the other two heretic inquisitors also kept searching for God. The space was filled with incantations and prayers.
A lung-level person holding a greatsword and closing his eyes.
A heretic inquisitor searching for God while sweating profusely.
The atmosphere was tense.
Boohoo-.
The greatsword swung by the reaper stopped a few inches above the head of the heretic inquisitor.
Lung-gyeop opened his eyes slightly and hurriedly lowered his sword, but it had already failed.
“failure!”
I spoke lightly and shook my head.
The old man nodded with wide eyes, but I shook my head sharply and headed to the next room.
Power cooperation. The small, shut-mouthed, squeaky-mouthed idiot followed along.
‘Oh my god.’
Inquisitor Farhan shook his head slightly.
I felt like I had been to the guillotine.
“···It seems like the Cassidy thing is over, but shouldn’t we go find the Black Blood? After all, our mission was to find the Black Blood.”
Farhan nodded his head quickly at the words he heard from the side.
If I stayed in Cassidy any longer, I might not be able to live up to my name.
***
“A total of thirty-eight vampires have been discovered. Among them, we have compared the information obtained by torturing the captured ones and confirmed that all of them, including those who disappeared, have been eliminated. Judging by the speed at which their numbers have increased, if we had been even a little bit late, we would have been unable to handle them. If it hadn’t been for Team Leader Aaron’s plan…”
‘Aaron! Aaron! Aaron!! That damn Aaron!!’
Adela chewed her lips as she heard the story from the side.
Again, the only thing that came up was Aaron.
He himself risked his life fighting the demons who bared their teeth in the square, but the one who swung his hammer at the tied up ones received more attention.
It was an absurd situation.
In the first place, I was a knight and he was just a foreign security guard. There was an unbridgeable gap between the two…
Despite his savage appearance, he was a very clever guy who knew how to attract attention and how to make a big deal out of a small achievement.
‘···A mean and cunning guy.’
Ugh-.
Adela clenched her teeth at the thought of having her work and attention stolen again.
“I got a call from Fenerga again. The situation in the East is chaotic, so we should get married quickly and strengthen our relationship…”
“Ah, Geralt. I would like to do that too, but the seal is gone now.”
“You’re saying the seal is missing? Huh? How could you lose such an important item? It was passed down from our ancestors···.”
“What can I do? It’s gone. I’m looking for it right now, so don’t worry. There are no feet on the seal, and it’s unlikely anyone stole it, so I’ll find it right away.”
Adela, her head filled with irritation, continued to mutter only the two words, ‘Aaron’.
Adela showed off her proud and dignified behavior like a knight, but the more she did, the more the vile man took everything away from her.
“Kuh! We’ve eliminated the demons, but repairing the walls is the most urgent task for future defense! Kuh!”
“Yes, I know that very well, Sir Adolf.”
“It’s Adolgu! Kuh!”
“Kuh!”
The two new knights were idiots who only talked nonsense. Adela’s nerves became even more tense at the thought of being in the same company as those guys.
“I see. William, how long will it take to build the wall?”
“There is no exact deadline yet.”
“Hmm… I’ll spread the rumor that demons might come in through the breached wall right away.”
“···yes?”
“Then, if it’s urgent, wouldn’t you do something about it?”
“Yes, I guess so. But then I feel uneasy…”
“Adolf… no, place the knight Adolph on the wall. Can you do it?”
“Kuh! I will do my best to protect the Cassidy left behind by the hero Deokgu!”
Two knights carrying stupid buckets saluted loudly and ran out in a hurry.
“In this case, the public announcement must be made with precision so that everyone is prepared for the danger that may arise later…”
“Yes, Nova, I know. As always, Nova will take care of it. But do you have the budget?”
“Yes, there is still some, but it is a little precarious.”
“Yeah. Um… Let’s talk about that later.”
“Marriage is···!”
“I understand, Geral. I’ll proceed as soon as I find the seal. Don’t worry.”
“Then what about the wall···”
“Leave it to the outer wall guards. Don’t spare their support.”
“If it’s the foreign guards···.”
“Are there multiple outer guards? Let them do whatever they want. Nova will take care of the budget.”
“Leaving it to the outer city guard, which is just a bunch of strong, ignorant guys! That’s ridiculous!”
“Yes, Geralt. You did your job. Leave it to the outer guard.”
Adela stared out the window, fiddling with the handle of her sword.
‘Aaron, you vile bastard…’
If I just stayed still, I couldn’t guess what else would be taken away.
I felt like I had to show him who was superior before it was too late.
‘···I’m going to have an accident.’
Pulpouts muttered to himself as he glanced at Adela, who was gnashing her teeth while looking out the window.
Adela had been openly gnashing her teeth whenever the topic of ‘Aaron’ came up. It was obvious who she was talking about.
However, I wondered how he was going to deal with Aaron, who had defeated ‘Hosekhan’ after losing miserably to him.
‘Surely… you don’t know?’
Pulpouts shook his head.
I’ve been thinking too much about useless things lately.
And Adela also needed to be broken once.
‘But you almost got in trouble last time, so you won’t challenge me to a duel again, right?’
Pulpouts looked at Adela’s prominent nose, pondered for a moment, then closed his eyes.
Surely he couldn’t be that stupid.
‘It’s a duel!! You despicable bastard! Show me the pride of a knight!’
Adela cried out for justice in her heart and forced her eyes to close.
***
After two days of extensive testing, the vampires were driven out of Castle Cassadyk.
After comparing the information from the captured vampires, a list was made, and all of the ones on that list were made into the new mascots of Cassidy with their fangs extended.
No, it wasn’t just a mascot, it was a path made of skewers with their necks stuck in the front gate.
I gathered the information I had gotten from the vampires and gave it to Nova with a hint of luck. As expected from a clever orange, a separate manual on vampires was sent down the very next day.
Given the vampires’ low tolerance, those entering Cassidy were required to spend several days in quarantine in the outer guard’s basement, which was filled with the smell of human blood.
It was a truly medieval form of isolation.
It was clear that the more ignorant it was, the more effective it would be.
Although I was a little tired, the compensation from the lord was not bad, so my fatigue was completely gone.
‘It definitely should have been done that way···.’
I thought it was mostly the same as usual.
Until I got a tickle in my arm during patrol and went to break a rock.
No, it was okay when I broke the stone.
Until I saw the huge stones the men were carrying.
At first, I was truly amazed. It was the first time in this era that I had seen a stone with such a clean and perfectly square surface.
That admiration turned to awe when I saw my face carved into the face of the stone.
To be exact, it wasn’t my image. The image carved into the stone was of Deokgu cutting through the darkness.
Then I hurriedly ran to where the stone was coming from.
There you can find Kanna shrugging her shoulders while receiving applause from the stonemasons.
‘Why is he here?’
It was a very strange feeling to see a kid who had spent a lot of money not studying as he was told but instead being discovered as a popular person at a construction site.
And there was that expensive private tutor right next to me, smiling and clapping…
‘No matter how much I do it because I like the child…’
I seriously wondered if it was time to stop him from evolving from a clown to a stonemason.
“Hahaha! As expected from a member of the Kanggu Corps!! I think the wall we build this time will be called ‘Deokgu Wall’!!”
“Kuh!”
Next to him, there’s a knight carrying a bucket on a hot day.
It was clear that the group had suffered from the heat.
However, I tried to swallow the words that were rising to the tip of my lips when I saw Kanna’s face smiling brightly upon finding me.
‘Yeah, I like the kid… No, no matter what…’
Aaron nodded his head with difficulty as the ice shower poured down on him.
***
Inside an old-fashioned room.
A place so dark that you can’t see even an inch ahead because the windows are covered with thick cloth.
People dressed in fancy clothes were gathered there.
“The children who were heading to Cassidy Castle were caught and all beheaded.”
Black-blooded Gambas Sturman lowered his eyes at the report he heard from the side.
“I clearly told you not to touch the side of Cassidy where the Great Darkness was defeated.”
I shivered at the eerie voice that had no ups and downs and sounded like nails scraping iron.
“That… that’s because there are so many children, it’s difficult to control them.”
···hmm.
A low voice sounded as if it was worried, and the man who was reporting started to tremble.
“Is there anything I have that I can’t control?”
‘Idiot.’
Gambas Sturman clicked his tongue at the guy’s stupidity.
The thing he hates the most is things going wrong with his plans, and to do something like that… It was clear that the guy wanted to die.
“I’m sorry… I’m sorry….”
The guy didn’t finish his speech.
As he flicked his fingers, the guy fell forward, blood spraying out from all over his body. The blood that came out in a spurt paused in midair for a moment before being drawn into his mouth by his hand gesture.
At that sight, Gambas Sturman swallowed hard and lowered his head further.
He sometimes gave up his strength, but he also withdrew his strength.
And when it came to taking back power, it didn’t end with simply taking what was given.
It wasn’t for nothing that they called him ‘Master’.
“next.”
“Karzan, the central figure of this plan, is taking some time to gather together due to the organizations, but it probably won’t take too long. The variable is Count Behart, but as expected, Count Behart is not making any moves.”
“What about Fener?”
“Marquis Fener hasn’t come over yet, but Jangja, who I saw last time, has completely come over. If everything goes according to plan and I give the ‘signature’ to Jangja, I’m sure I’ll completely take over the Fener family.”
“What about the management office?”
“There has been no response since the last article, Kurtun. The reason is still unknown, but even if the Eastern Management Bureau moves, it is expected that they will simply judge it as an increase in personnel and not know of our existence.”
After the report was finished, a brief silence fell.
“Good.”
Everyone felt a little relieved at his answer.
“Don’t touch the Cassidy, which has variables. Otherwise, proceed as planned.”
yes-.
Everyone answered in low voices.
‘Make children as quickly as possible and collect their blood. Make a token with them and give it to the eldest son of the Fener family and take over the Fener family. After the administration comes out, throw the children and the Fener family…’
Gambas Sturman checked the plan inwardly.
As expected of someone who hates variables and needs to have everything on his plate, detailed plans were laid out here and there.
For example, among the orders given to Gambas Sturman was a very trivial one, such as seducing a woman named Penn, the administrator of the city of Karzan, and making her neglect her duties…
He increased the number arbitrarily, making the ‘Black Blood’ look like an ignorant group that doesn’t care about the future from the outside, and thus obscuring the trivial things they do inside.
“The most important thing is to occupy Karzan, where there is the most blood to be drawn, before the eyes of the Administration and Count Behart reach it. For that purpose, I have turned Byzant Castle and Platon Castle upside down, so do not make even the slightest mistake.”
As the master wishes-.
Everyone spoke at the same time, and one answer came out.
‘The East has already come. It is ours.’
Gambas Sturman muttered quietly, then raised the corners of his mouth as the line sounded like a typical line from a novel’s villain.
‘No, there are no variables. Everything is rolling under his calculations. Unless a strong man appears from somewhere and destroys Karzan… the East is in our hands.’
Gambas nodded again.
***
“Did you write it correctly, Fjord?”
Ugh···.
At the harsh shout, Fjord, a third-level official in the city of Karzan, groaned softly.
The guy who had been ignored and bullied because he was a commoner was the first to rise to the second rank… There were even rumors that he had caught the eye of Sarshan, a first-rank manager, and that the two were having secret meetings often.
‘Even if Sarshan is a beauty, there’s still a ten year age difference between them···.’
“Did you write it down? You idiot!”
“I wrote it down! I wrote it down!”
“Oh, my. I’m level 2, you’re level 3.”
“······is.”
Fjord growled lowly and lowered his head.
‘Where on earth did that little punk get those necks from···.’
Fjord still vividly remembered that day. If only that hadn’t happened, he would have been promoted to the second level and taken down that guy…
“Once you’ve written everything, read it!”
Phew···.
Fjord took a deep breath and read the letter slowly.
“O-Renji!! Aaron. How are you? It’s me, Shone, a second-class manager at Karzan. Even now, I sometimes think about the fun times we had running around together! This is the 23rd letter you’ve sent since then, right? Sometimes I worry, someone must be jealous of our relationship and have missed the letters! There’s no way Aaron read 22 letters and never replied! Right?”
Fjord continued reading while looking at Shonee, who nodded her head with an arrogant expression.
‘Do you have no sense? If you’ve been ignored 22 times, you should just let it go.’
“Anyway, I’m always working hard. Sometimes I stop by the prostitute and listen to her stories… But prostitutes cost more money than I thought.”
Fjord glanced up and examined the little thing.
How can you hang out with prostitutes with such an innocent face?
After that, it was useless content.
Nothing of any nutritional value, such as what you ate for breakfast or whether you’re tired because you’ve been busy lately.
There was a reason the other person didn’t reply.
“And recently, I’m worried because of the vampires in Karzan. The three organizations are fighting together, but it doesn’t seem to be going well. Because of that, Lone Wolf’s business is going through difficulties, so the amount of money… Ah! Dante told me not to say anything, but I’m closer to Aaron than Dante. Aaron, we’re really close. I still remember the nights we ran around Karzan together….”
“Okay! Well written! As expected, this is Fjor, a third-class manager and subordinate of the second-class manager, Shone. Send this as special delivery. This time, make sure to deliver it directly to the person in question! I’ll give you 20 more silver.”
At Shoney’s subsequent words, Fjord nodded, suppressing the anger that had welled up in him.
‘···Who on earth is my opponent?’
Seeing the sparkling eyes of Shona, who had been exhausted from the recent series of incidents, Fjord had a feeling that the person he was dealing with was a woman.
That’s a very pretty woman too.
Otherwise, he would not have spent so much money and kept sending letters without a reply.
‘If he comes, I’ll have to seduce him and get revenge.’
Fjord swallowed hard, vowing revenge in his heart.
