Episode 84. Wrong Encounter
“hmm.”
After hearing the story, Etning looked at Ethan.
“How on earth do you come up with these things?”
Etting’s nickname, Money Ghost, was given to her because she tried every business that smelled like money and succeeded.
But Ettinger wasn’t alone in coming up with these business ideas.
Every morning, he sits down with the merchants he works with to discuss their current businesses and new ventures.
And they take the information they bring and use it to buy other people’s already successful businesses.
It was because I prepared so meticulously that all my businesses were successful.
Plus, she had the sturdy safety net of a David top.
Since you’re putting David’s name on the line, you’re building up a certain level of trust with the people.
That’s why such a bold item was surprising.
“What’s even more surprising is that it’s not just an idea, but a detailed plan that can be used to start an actual business.”
Anyone can come up with a brilliant idea. But only a few people can actually put it into action.
Ethan was one of those few.
“You brought this to me. So you already knew there was a demand for it? So you must have already made it?”
“It hasn’t been made yet, but it will be made soon.”
“Thank you for choosing me.”
A confident tone.
Etting could only say thank you.
Because he chose me among the merchants he spoke of.
“You still have a long way to go before you can thank me. If you were just trying to sell something new, you wouldn’t have come to Etning.”
The main topic starts now.
“Mr. Attning, you must have known that this business would definitely succeed. You came to me when I first started the business and saw its potential with your own eyes.”
But for some reason, this project was small in scale.
“I don’t know the details of the internal situation, but the scale is rather small. If it were the Lord of the Bujangdan’s authority, it could have been made even bigger.”
Ethan pointed to the lightweight workshop.
Etting nodded.
“That’s right. I originally planned to make it bigger.”
“It doesn’t look like they just made it smaller to reduce risk. It just looks to me like someone else didn’t believe in the business and cut back on their support.”
“… … .”
“When you become a top shareholder, you will invest properly when starting a new business. That is, if it is a business you are confident in. However, if that is not the case, it means that the top shareholder has intervened or… … .”
Ethan continued in a confident voice.
“It must have been someone from the same group who got involved.”
“… … .”
Ettinger was silent.
Ethan was right. Because of the injury to Kimmel, the team had to scale back on the original plan.
There was nothing I could do because they had a tight grip on the finances. Even if I tried to talk to the owner of the company, Kimmel, the owner of the company, was the owner’s brother.
“If that’s the case, then from now on, whatever the boss does will be hindered. The person who blocked this project will block it again.”
“The business was successful.”
“That’s the problem. He probably thought he would fail, but he succeeded. He’s completely out of favor. Even if he succeeds, it should be considered a failure.”
“But how can you change something that’s already successful?”
Ethan laughed at Etting’s words mixed with sighs.
“This was a business that no discerning merchant would ever oppose. But he did. That means he is not a merchant.”
Not being a merchant meant that there was no need to follow the merchant’s code.
“Regardless of how much money you make or how little you make, they will try to oust you for your unmerchant-like behavior, Lord Etning. No matter how much money you make or whether your business fails or succeeds.”
“……no way.”
Ethan shook his head as if to say that it couldn’t be true. But at the same time, doubts began to arise in his mind.
Ethan noticed her true feelings.
‘Etning’s future has already changed. Because he succeeded in his new business of lightweight manufacturing. However, in the original future, Etning will soon leave David’s upper ranks. Because of that stupid boss.’
Among the injured soldiers at the top of David, there is one who is the most beastly.
He was jealous of the talent of Etning, who was also the owner of the same club, and eventually forced her out of the top ranks.
‘That will be a little faster. With the success of this business.’
It was truly ironic.
I made my business successful, but instead of receiving any rewards, I was kicked out of the top.
But that absurd thing is bound to happen.
‘But he later succeeds in returning to the top and taking revenge.’
David the Elder was not a very wise man either.
The one who raised the top was not the top owner himself, but his father, who was the previous top owner.
‘But there’s no need to go out and come back. You can hold on to the top of David and aim for the top spot.’
There was no need to go out of the way and compete to get the top spot.
Ettinger had the ability to do so, and if he added his items to that ability, it would be possible.
“How about you push away that person who hates you? And then move on to a higher place.”
Ethan said with confidence.
“That’s the business item I was talking about.”
* * *
“I think I already knew everything.”
“Isn’t the antics of Kimmel’s wounded leader famous at our top?”
Ethan and his men talked about what had just happened. Ethan, who they thought had come lightly, had left them with a topic that they had to think deeply about.
“All else aside, is there any reason to turn this down?”
At Etting’s words, his subordinates thought for a moment and then shook their heads.
“Not at all. Rather, it’s to the point where we should be bowing our heads to Ethan and asking for help.”
“The Kimmel Group Leader will definitely try to oust the Group Leader. The upper group leader will probably help him do that or turn a blind eye to it. If this lightweight workshop project had been successful on a larger scale, his position within the upper group would have been shaken.”
“In fact, Prince Ethan is trying to pull us out of the swamp.”
If so, then this was no different from owing a debt.
You might think that if you don’t accept it, that’s the end of it, but Etting is a merchant.
It’s natural to move towards making money.
“You even gave me a proper excuse.”
“No matter how much I think about it, Ethan has the blood of a merchant in his veins. He must be inexperienced, yet he is suggesting such a new method to us.”
“If you did this instinctively, there’s a good chance you’ll become a giant.”
Etting nodded.
“Yes. But… … I think I’ll become someone greater than a giant.”
Detailed planning, grand ambitions.
He was not a talent who would end up as a giant.
Ettinger looked at the note Ethan had left for her separately.
There were more shocking words written there.
‘That’s the final goal.’
There was a question written there asking what Etting’s ultimate goal was.
Of course, the ultimate goal is one.
‘Are you thinking that far ahead?’
He was an amazing person in many ways.

Ethan returned to the academy and got to work quickly.
“Mr. Ethan.”
Ethan was choosing a classroom to prepare for a parent observation class.
The existing classroom was large enough to accommodate 75 students, but for this parent observation class, many more students were expected to attend, so a larger classroom was needed.
Ethan planned to rent the largest lecture hall at the academy so that as many parents and academy officials as possible could attend.
Someone spoke to Ethan like that.
“You are Mr. Martins.”
He was one of the former swordsmanship and instructors who had greeted me at the celebration party.
“Where are you going? I’d like to talk to you when you have time.”
“I’m a little distracted trying to find a classroom to use for this parent observation class. What’s going on?”
As Ethan nodded, Martins’ expression changed completely. His gentle expression until just now became serious.
“Mr. Ethan. The rumors about you are not very good.”
As Ethan remained silent, Martins continued.
“I heard that you don’t even teach the students proper Rubinade swordsmanship, let alone corporal punishment. That’s against the rules, teacher. And I also heard that you don’t teach proper lessons, but rather strange things.”
Martins shook his head with a stern expression.
“You’ve crossed the line, Mr. Ethan.”
Ethan didn’t really respond to Martins, who was talking as if something big had happened. Martins snickered as he watched Ethan.
“The other swordsmen and teachers already do not look favorably on Professor Ethan. Right now, Professor Ethan is acting as if he is not teaching for the academy or the students, but rather as a private tutor for a high-ranking noble family.”
“… … .”
“Even if you are from a noble family in the provinces, this is the Academy. This is not for the purpose of entering a noble family and becoming successful.”
“I guess I didn’t know much.”
As Ethan came out obediently, Martins smiled faintly and whispered to Ethan.
“I can help you with something. What do you mean by senior? This matter is of particular concern to Mr. Claude Hyde.”
Martins gave strength to the word Cloudy Hyde. Cloudy was a very influential teacher not only in the fencing department but also throughout Ibeka Academy.
If such a teacher had a negative view of Ethan, it meant that he could easily be ostracized within the academy.
As Ethan’s expression hardened, Martins tapped Ethan on the shoulder.
“It’s okay. I came here to help you with that.”
Martins, whose speech had become more comfortable than before, spoke to Ethan.
“This parent observation class, do as I say. Impact is important. If you want to make an impactful class that everyone will acknowledge, um… … I think an outdoor observation class would be good. An outdoor observation class! That would be good. If you do that, other teachers will see it, and they will acknowledge Mr. Ethan.”
“Outdoor classes? Isn’t that dangerous? The principal wouldn’t allow it.”
“Who has time to worry about that? Everyone is trying to give you a penalty right now. Come over here for a moment. Let’s talk in more detail.”
The moment he said that, his eyes began to shine.
“Be quiet.”
For a moment, Ethan’s eyes became cloudy as if he was entranced by those gazes.
Martins Lane smiled and led him to a secret place.
* * *
Empty classroom.
The classroom was very dark because it was being used as a storage room.
Knock knock.
As soon as the door closed, Martins smirked and approached Ethan. Ethan was already brainwashed, albeit weakly.
I never thought it would take this long.
“Ethan Wickes. From now on, you will obey me and listen to me only.”
He grabbed Ethan’s shoulder and turned him around so he could look into his eyes.
But something was strange.
Ethan’s eyes, which should have been clear and brainwashed, were filled with coldness.
“Second Order, are you out of your mind?”
“Huh, huh?”
A bewildered Martins stepped back.
“Who are you brainwashing just now? You pathetic bastard.”
“Huh. Gasp!”
Martins looked momentarily bewildered.
What the heck is going on here?
He knows his position. He clearly said he was second in command.
Besides, brainwashing didn’t work.
At that moment, Martins’ head started spinning.
And the conclusion is drawn.
“No way. Are you from the dawn meeting?”
“Second. Who told you to act thoughtlessly like this? If you brainwash them recklessly and it fails, what are you going to do with this?”
Only then did Martins’ expression turn pale.
It was certain. He was a great man from the dawn meeting.
“I’m sorry. I’m really sorry. I made a big mistake.”
The puzzle began to come together in Martins’ head.
Ethan Wickers, the new head teacher. Ethan Wickers’ first steps were absurd.
But what if this was properly angled and moved at dawn?
“I didn’t know you were from the company.”
Martins, with his head bowed, did not dare to raise his head and look at Ethan.
I thought this was all part of the Dawn Meeting’s plan.
That meant that the Ethan Wickers in front of him was likely an apostle.
One of the 12 apostles, the core of the Dawn Meeting, came to Ibeka in person.
He tried to brainwash such an apostle and almost ruined his plan.
“I’m sorry. I’m truly sorry. Please forgive me!”
Martins fell flat on his face and hit his forehead hard on the ground.
Boom-! Boom-! Boom-!
Before I knew it, blood was flowing from my forehead, but Ethan didn’t tell me to stop. Instead, he continued speaking in a cold voice.
“Aren’t you going to hit it anymore?”
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry!”
I kept hitting my forehead so hard. When I thought I was going to lose consciousness, I heard Ethan’s voice.
“stop.”
“Ugh.”
Martins tried to get up but fell to his knees.
He was definitely an apostle. I had a feeling he was definitely an apostle of the Dawn Society.
“Pathetic guy.”
Martins was almost on the verge of tears.
