Don’t be fooled by the man’s servile expression.

There was a lot of greed hidden in the hidden expression.

Why does this man become servile in front of me?

I’m not sorry for breaking the contract you made with me.

‘They’re worried that I’m going to take over the store. ‘That building was mine to begin with.’

I am the owner of the bar building.

So, if you wanted to steal it, you could.

It was wrong to say that it was taken away in the first place.

Just kick this guy out.

Isn’t this man the one who broke the contract, not me?

“Do you think that makes sense now?”

The attitude of a man who said that he would pay money to buy my store when it would not be enough to lie down on me was so absurd that I wondered what he was thinking. It was such a stupid decision.

They may have misunderstood me as a sloppy person because I left the store in charge of the store without any special management.

“You’re asking me to help you earn money by taking other people’s belongings and pretending to be your own. Would you have come to your senses if you had exposed everything you did on the first floor instead of being polite? Do I look that easy?”

“Oh, you may misunderstand, but I also have the rights to this store. All the money I spent running the store was with my own money! “I’ll even give you a store usage fee!”

If he showed signs of reflection, I tried to give him some consideration and conclude the contract, but as I was listening to what this man said, I felt like I shouldn’t just end it without punishing him.

Do you have the rights to the store?

Who on earth decides that?

I was the one who lost my property because of this man.

“Wait, wait a minute!! “Please excuse me.”

The moment I was about to tell him to get out of my store right away, the female employee I saw earlier hurriedly came inside.

It seems like he was eavesdropping on our conversation from outside.

Even though he didn’t know my face, his face was full of sadness, as if he knew about the situation of the store.

I was looking down with my arms crossed, wondering what would happen next, when she suddenly knelt in front of me and bowed her head.

“I am so, so sorry!!!! My father is so greedy and uneducated that he can’t understand the situation! Let me apologize on your behalf. Please take pity on me and show me mercy!!”

“!!!”

“??”

Shock appeared on the man’s face, and puzzlement appeared on my face.

“If you show me a favor just once, I will follow whatever you ask me to do in the future!”

“Luya! “What are you doing!!”

A truly solemn declaration.

It seemed like the daughter was more intelligent than the father.

Of course, the man’s face turned bright red, as if he was shocked that his daughter fell to her knees because of him.

“Dad, stay still!! “I’m correcting my father’s mistakes right now!”

“What did we do wrong? This is a store we worked hard to create from start to finish! “That’s why I said I was going to live. What’s wrong with that?”

“dad!! Wake. That store is not ours. And this person is a nobleman. Do you think it would be good to offend the nobles? “Just because I get along well with the soldiers doesn’t mean my dad became a great person like those people!”

“We are nobles too!”

The daughter was not shaken by the man’s cries of sorrow.

“Even so, he is a fallen nobleman. “You wretched beggarly without even being able to properly catch a single monster!!”

“Luya!!”

“Why did the soldiers build our store so beautifully?”

“Well, that’s…”

This is because they were asked to generously provide consumables to the military when the monster wave broke out.

“This person generously supported the goods, and I was grateful for that, so I upgraded the store to this great level as compensation. Soldiers constantly coming as guests? Then, out of gratitude, they come back at least once and become regular customers. Do we want our restaurant to have exceptionally delicious food and special drinks? A bar like this? “There’s one across the street, and if you walk a few steps further, there are two or three more!”

“!!!”

“Besides, do you think the soldiers would come to this store if they found out that we were pretending to be nice by using other people’s products instead of ours? Even if it’s embarrassing, you’ll never come? “Dad, why can’t you think of such an obvious thing?”

“Everyone is like dad and brother! “Dad, you’re not doing this for nothing, you’re saying it because you believe in something?”

The man already felt that what his daughter was saying was right.

However, it seemed like his pride was hurt and he didn’t want to admit it easily.

The daughter took a deep sigh and said.

“It’s all an illusion. “It’s not the connections I gained through my father’s abilities.”

My daughter was accurately assessing the situation.

‘And then things got more complicated for me. All you have to do is kick the ass of a man who talks bullshit and kick him out… .’

Just looking at that woman, she didn’t seem to be easy.

Looking at her lying flat on her face, it was clear that she was a woman who knew how to use her head.

‘I guess he took a quick look at the seasoning and decided that it wasn’t going to be easy, so he intervened and changed his attitude.’

If I show up as a red-faced woman like a man, I can just deal with it according to my personality, so it’s easy.

When you start begging for forgiveness like a man’s daughter does, it becomes a pain in the ass.

Tired of appealing to your emotions?

To be shaken by something like that.

‘I’ve been a mercenary for too long.’

Even if you humbly beg a former mercenary to save your life, there is no use.

You could say it’s a prejudice against the profession, but there’s no way a mercenary will be nice to someone who makes a humble request.

If you treat it like crap and crave it for more, you won’t know.

The mercenary world is a place where people will catch you if you look down on them in the first place.

How many years have you been there? Would it be any different for me?

‘My stomach is twisted. ‘Because I want to crave it.’

If I had known it was that wrong, I should have corrected it a long time ago and paid my taxes voluntarily.

Are you complaining that you made a mistake when everyone got caught?

How can that be a form of reflection? I absolutely disagree.

The father and daughter, who didn’t know what I was thinking, were filming a movie.

“Everyone loves me so much…!”

“Do you really have to make the floor show like this? The reason you hear people call you your older brother is because your dad is bragging. They say I am the hero who gave up all his money and did his best to stop the monster wave. Do you know how hot my face gets every time I hear that?”

“Lu, it’s Lu.”

“Even if you don’t have anything, don’t live in shame. huh? “Please!”

When the woman finally showed tears, the man seemed to have come to his senses and began to apologize.

It seemed like he valued his daughter more than his greed for money.

Seeing that he was a bit less of an asshole made me lose interest.

If it were a normal parent, it would be normal for them to slap their daughter once in the face and get angry at her for meddling in someone else’s business.

“I’m sorry. It’s Luya. “Daddy made you cry again.”

“It’s okay to be stupid. I can handle that because he’s my dad. But I don’t think I can handle being a bad dad.”

“Yep. I won’t. I did it because I wanted to buy Lua pretty clothes. Sorry.”

As I watched the father and daughter hugging each other and crying, I felt like I was the worst person here.

‘I’m avoiding it?’

I thought that the skill of turning a victim into an assailant was amazing, and I was starting to get bored and annoyed.

The woman looked at me as if the conversation between the two had ended and spoke in a deep voice.

“I’m really sorry. I will take the punishment happily. I just wish you would show mercy. “So that I can be punished, not my old and sick father.”

“Are you saying you will take responsibility for everything?”

“yes.”

“Why not?”

“yes?”

My daughter was taken aback, as if she didn’t expect me to firmly refuse.

How should we deal with this father-daughter fraud group?

“The person who made the contract with me was your father, not you. So, it should be your father who gets the punishment.”

“Your father has bad knees!”

“If my knees are bad, I can go in a wheelchair.”

I’m not the chairman of a large company, but can’t anyone use a wheelchair?

“Really, how could it not work? “Is there no way at all?”

“That is the law. “It may look funny because you didn’t protect the dog and ignored it.”

The female employee started crying again.

“Sigh, if my dad goes to prison, his body will break down and he will die early… Hehehe! I’m sorry for crying all the time. dad!! Please continue to apologize quickly! “I heard you can’t get over your anger.”

“Huh… Black… sorry. Wrong… Sigh! “I will reflect on this…I’m sorry.”

ah… Are you procrastinating again?

Time is slowly starting to become a waste.

“Look, it was a clever and clever plan, but I’m not the type of person who wants to be concerned about such things. “You guys are bothering me.”

In fact, it was not easy to decide on a successor for this father and daughter.

Even if the front line were to give you money to run a store, who would be willing to do so?

First of all, since it is near a contaminated area, being an awakened person is essential.

However, most nobles are not people who are that anxious about ‘money’.

In other words, among the very few nobles, I had to be a ‘fallen noble’ and incompetent enough to not catch monsters to become the person I wanted.

‘How many people can meet these conditions?’

Ordinary nobles can make a living by working as mercenaries.

It is difficult to find an incompetent nobleman who cannot even do that.

‘But then things changed.’

To be exact, they made the situation different.

Didn’t they change the store from a fly-by-night general store to a bar with good business?

Finding someone to take charge of a fly-by-night general store was bound to have different levels of difficulty than hiring someone to take charge of a bar doing good business.

“It’s a bit heinous, but since he’s shown reflection, I’ll let you choose between the two. “Do you want to be dealt with by the law, or do you want to spit out everything you have and leave?”

“Yes, yes?”

“Giving it all away, how ridiculous is that…” ?”

The earnest gaze between the middle-aged man and the young lady was burdensome and uncomfortable.

“I have no intention of continuing to work with someone who has already deceived me. “Our contract is over, and they will give up all the profits they made from my store and go out.”

“!!!!”

“So, how did you pay for the bar? If you want to sell alcohol, you will need a different type of merchant license. Wow, if this had caught me too, I would have covered it all up, right?”

The more I think about it, the more shameful it becomes.

How should I take this?

I had already planned to give up everything and only take the clothes as punishment for the sins I had committed before.

“That’s not it!! The military gave me convenience! “I got permission to sell alcohol!!”

You said you would close your eyes?

‘Then it’s recognition.’

Think about it.

This is the front line.

A place where you never know when it might become a polluted area.

As such, it is bound to be vague in the legal aspect.

In addition, the military openly said that they would turn a blind eye and ignore me, so of course there would not have been a problem.

but.

“Still, it would have been a problem if someone had rushed in to make it a problem.”

“!!”

Wouldn’t it be a shame to just say that’s the case and move on?

The female employee seemed speechless at my point and just kept her mouth shut.

Just because everyone here thinks that’s the way it is, there’s no need for me to admit it.
