The question is whether I can give in to what that woman wants.

If I asked Fran to stop missionary work, would he listen?

‘No way. ‘Why should he do that?’

If you ask me to repay you for the favor of giving me a holy object, I will listen.

But isn’t it too much of a loss for me?

That’s all it takes to repay Franc’s favor.

Moreover, in Fran’s life, denomination and missionary work were inseparable.

‘Telling people not to proselytize can give Fran a bad image.’

It’s not like he’s going to quit just because I told him to quit in the first place, and it could end up worsening our relationship for no reason.

Nevertheless, I could not flatly refuse the woman’s offer to find out the client’s identity.

‘There’s so much stress these days because of those bastards. I think they’re intentionally making fun of me and annoying me…’

In the meantime, I finally found a thread that could help me identify the client, but I couldn’t just miss it.

Of course, it could be nervousness.

But I don’t think it’s a good idea to sell it like that.

‘It was strange that the number of customers coming and going to the general store has increased recently.’

Even though I didn’t promote it, why do I keep getting customers?

Of course, the increased number of customers was only one or two at most, but even those one or two were enough to get on my nerves.

‘It’s impossible to suspect every guest who comes…’

So far, the most frequent customers to my store are the SSRs I summoned.

Other than that, there are Jammins, Hash and Narrell, and sometimes there are students who come to the general store for beads.

After all, they are also R and SR characters that I summoned, so there is no reason to doubt them.

For me, a very regular business person, it was very unpleasant to see even one more customer per day.

“You want to find out? Who are those people?”

“Yes! You can do it.”

“…Okay. Once I find out who the client is, I will consider what you want.”

The question of whether Fran would listen to me was the next question.

First of all, it seemed like the right thing to do.

“You promised? “If I find out, you too will stop that crazy bitch!”

“…I don’t know if I can stop it, but I’ll try.”

“under… I can finally stop seeing that bitch’s face! Please wait a few days. “I’ll find out!”

I wonder how much he hated Franc to take the risk of getting to know the client.

I thought I would never suggest it because it was dangerous.

“Oh, by the way, I need some cooperation to get to know the client. Can you do that?”

“What cooperation do you need?”

“For example, if I need evidence when reporting that I have completed a request, I ask for your cooperation.”

… If that’s the case, there’s nothing I can’t do.

“Okay, sure.”

“Hehe! I’m finally making sense to you now. Do you need any service? You seem upset because I came all wrapped up today, but you look really pretty when I take it off?”

Whether it’s because the urgent business is over or not, he’s doing tricks that don’t even make her a woman.

“I do not need.”

“I’ll make you cum. I have good skills. Your older brothers can’t get out of their minds. Are you saying I’m not a bitch who just gets away with it? If you try it just once, even your older brother will look at me differently. He says I’m the best bitch in our establishment.”

“If I’m doing so well, I can just get out of here and find another guy to hang out with.”

“Honestly, I’ve been stressed out lately because of that crazy bitch, so I need a place to unwind. If you’re my brother… I think I can make you feel good. You’ll feel good too if you get cheap service.”

“get out!”

“Ah! That woman has ruined my profits recently! I have to work hard to make up for it!! Oppa~!”

If they do anything, they make excuses.

I gently pushed my body, and because I was a commoner woman, my body was pushed back.

She was a woman who would threaten to harm herself if she pushed her all the way, so I tried to restrain my strength as much as possible.

“If it were you, would you hang out with a woman who was asked to do harm to me?”

“As long as it tastes good, it’s okay! Men are like idiots. Then give me a few pennies as deposit~! I need this to get the job done.”

A woman makes a circle using her index finger and thumb.

No crazy person would look at that and think of something other than money.

The woman slowly took a step back, probably because she was scared of the look in my eyes.

“I’m not asking for much. I can conscientiously give you money to buy food.”

He said, looking at the woman with a pitiful expression.

“If I find out who the client is, I’m willing to pay a reasonable price, so get out.”

“You’re saying I’ll give it to you when I find out? I’ll tell you sooner. Hehe, just wait a few days! I’ll find out soon, oppa!”

Even when leaving, they wink and kiss extravagantly, as if they have no intention of just leaving.

It was true that it looked good, so I couldn’t help but sigh.

“I’m out of my mind. Huh, I’m going to smoke a cigarette. Anyway, what is he doing?”

It seems like Fran went to his business and hit the jackpot, so he got caught by accident…

I don’t know how well that woman can keep her word.

‘Even if you try to figure it out, the reality is bound to be different.’

I think the probability of that woman knowing the client is very low.

Of course, in a situation where the identity of the culprit was unknown, it was welcome to have a useful ally.

Isn’t it a situation where I can’t even guess what the unknown client wants to do to me?

But in my view, it is clear that nobility is involved in this matter.

‘To begin with, commoners don’t have long patience.’

The fact that he was using people to touch me also told me that there was a high probability that the client was a nobleman.

So, no matter how hard she tries, there is a high probability that she will not be able to recognize the client.

‘If you really know who it is, and if it turns out to be a big deal…’

He calculated that it would be beneficial to make a deal with a woman, even if it meant disappointing Fran a little.

⁂ ⁂ ⁂

“…I am very embarrassed to have to report this to my lord, but it is said that the woman succeeded in seducing the client.”

Popping-

The duke said with his fists clenched upon hearing his subordinate’s report.

“What’s going on with the beads he said he provided?”

“It is said that if we can harness the energy contained within it, we may be able to create something incredible. Here is a detailed report.”

“…..”

Thinking about Ariando, I wanted to deal with the man right away, but things got strange when an unknown object called a bead appeared.

“What do you think about the value of the beads? I heard he assured me that he could continue to provide them.”

“If only we knew how he obtained the orb, the man would be worthless. However, if the man was an awakened person living in hiding and created the orb with his own abilities….”

“What if it was created with ability?”

“I think it would be okay to be your concubine.”

“Hmm.”

“So, I’m sorry.”

According to what was certified by the academy’s dean, there are no side effects to students who grow through beads.

An elixir that allows for tremendous growth without side effects?

It is a known fact that the front lines have been in disarray lately due to the monster wave.

‘In this situation, if an elixir using those beads is developed… it will be possible to expand political influence.’

I didn’t like the man who dared to give in to Cortisan’s temptation, but it was impossible to tear his limbs apart as planned.

The value of his beads is increasing as research continues.

“How about touching the mind?”

“No, my lord! It’s too dangerous. If we get caught, there’s too much we have to deal with.”

“Tsk!”

If you are caught tampering with the spirit of an awakened person and turning them into slaves, you will be punished on a level similar to treason.

The law was made particularly strict to suppress the criminal activities of those who have awakened their mental abilities.

In that case, it would be much better to take her in as Ariando’s concubine and accept her as a member of the family.

It’s not that I don’t know that fact, but I don’t want to see him succeed, so all I can think of is a crooked plan.

“Don’t you think it’s strange? If that guy is an awakened person, then the information we’ve investigated so far is not correct. Why on earth did he become a mercenary?”

“It sure is strange.”

It is said that when he was working as a mercenary, he went around hunting monsters to the point where he was nicknamed the Money Demon.

If I had awakened, it would have been much more honorable and I would have made more money to join the academy than to become a mercenary.

“If you are a commoner, there is no reason to miss the opportunity to become a noble.”

“The investigation was insufficient. I apologize.”

“I have to find out the secret he has been hiding.”

“We’ll find out separately. And what about the woman?”

You’re probably talking about the woman who attached him to this guy.

“Tell him to tempt you as if he will take out everything, including his liver and gallbladder. So, tell him to find out what he is doing. A man has no choice but to back down in front of a woman.”

The subordinate spoke as if he was embarrassed by the order.

“I could take you as a concubine, but wouldn’t you feel uncomfortable?”

“You can make him a member of the family and take care of the lower level from then on.”

I was able to make it so that he couldn’t even look at any woman other than Ariando.

What can’t you do for your daughter?

Of course, it’s best to break up before you make the worst decision.

“To prevent the worst from happening, we need to make Ariando cool down by being disappointed in him.”

“If you lose your mind, what are you going to do with him?”

“If beads are his ability, it would be enough to make him a collateral concubine of the family. If not, the job would be easier, needless to say.”

Only then did Suha nod his head as if relieved.

Even if Ariando has deep feelings for him, her heart will not cool when she sees him fooling around with another woman.

Isn’t that the reason why a woman was brought in for that purpose in the first place?

“The best way is to find out that the orb is not his ability.”

“After finding out where I got the marble, I took the girl away…”

“Yes, I will make you pay for daring to look down on my daughter.”

No matter how great the bead was, it was not as precious as my daughter.

So, if he wants to survive, he will have to be an awakened person.

The reason I had been hiding my identity as an illegal awakened person all this time was with the intention of receiving beads in return and then sorting things out as a courtesy.

With the family’s strength, anything was possible.
