130. Cruel revenge.

The duke really sent 500,000 gold. It was sent quickly too. The money arrived the same day the contract was signed. It seemed like he wanted to make a profit quickly.

‘Well, it’s a good thing for me.’

As a result, a total of 800,000 gold was collected. It was 800 billion in won. Of course, it was a huge amount of money that could not be easily seen.

Originally, this should have been divided in half. 800 billion becomes 400 billion. Anyone could not help but feel a stomach ache.

Of course, I wasn’t.

‘Hmm, really not.’

It was real.

But unlike me, who is full of trust, I couldn’t stand the mean boss.

As a result, he planned to betray me first.

‘If you really knew my identity, you wouldn’t have thought of betraying me…’

In fact, the plan had already progressed considerably.

I could see the proof firsthand.

Late morning.

Ssyuk.

Susssseu.

I slightly opened my eyes at the loud noise.

To be exact, it was a very secret moving sound. But to me it sounded louder than thunder.

In addition, a subtle sound of speech was heard. Although it was very small, it also hit my ears like a thunderclap.

“The target is still sleeping.”

“Hmm, didn’t you say you’re strong?”

“To the average person, they will all look strong.”

“ Well… kill it quickly and be done with it.”

“Yes.”

An assassin had appeared trying to kill me.

However, the level of assassins was lower than expected. If left in the back alleys of Trier, they would naturally be eliminated.

‘Well, Schweig isn’t a big city like Trier.’

Soon the assassins were heard approaching.

Secretly. Secretly.

Sreung.

Additionally, the sound of a sword being drawn was heard. It seemed like he was just planning on attacking me.

Unfortunately for them, I had already figured everything out.

Flashing.

Suddenly my eyes opened wide.

“Gasp!”

“What, what!”

Their panicked voices were heard.

I slowly stood up. After that, he looked coldly at the assassin.

“Who ordered it?”

“Well, you think I’m going to say that!”

“Everyone attack!”

Soon the assassins came upon me.

Of course, it was just funny.

I just made a light gesture. It seemed like a movement that was shooing away flies.

However, the consequences of that action were not light.

Suddenly!

Suddenly!

“Gagging!”

“Hehe!”

Suddenly, a thin solid line appeared around the assassins’ necks. Then everyone’s necks fell to the floor.

All nearly 10 assassins were eliminated in one go.

I made a sad face and prepared to leave the room.

I hoped they wouldn’t send assassins if possible. But in the end, the leader crossed the line.

‘I’ll have to see blood in the end.’

Actually, I was expecting this to happen. So there wasn’t really any agitation or anything.

But I also didn’t feel good about killing people. Maybe that’s why I felt a little bitter.

Of course, I decided to think positively.

Soon all 800,000 gold will be mine. That could be seen as very good news.

I went out of the mansion.

There was already chaos going on outside.

“Uh, we have to leave quickly!”

“No! There are not enough gold coins loaded yet!!”

“Chairman! There is no time for that! There was a loud noise in the room! It is correct to say that the operation has failed!”

“No! I’ve called in the Duchy’s best assassin! That can’t be possible!”

The merchant was carrying gold coins diligently. It was as much as 800,000 gold. As a result, the amount was very large.

Soon, I saw boxes of gold coins piled up in the carriage.

I looked closely at the figure in front of the mansion door.

‘I can’t give up my greed until the end.’

I was also greedy for money. But it wasn’t to that extent.

No, I could have ended up like that in the future. I felt like I had to be careful about everything.

‘Still, you teach us a big lesson at the end.’

I slowly approached the carriage.

Trudging. Trudging.

I walked while making some footsteps.

But the boss didn’t notice me. It was because I was distracted by gold coins.

Rather, my subordinates recognized me.

“Hey, Jeff!”

“Woman, what’s going on here…!”

“Gasp! My name is Jeff!”

The subordinates for now let go of their pretense. Even in situations like now. He looked tearful.

I didn’t bother to answer. And then he continued to approach the top manager.

Trudging. Trudging.

The chief of staff looked very embarrassed when he saw that.

“Now, wait a minute!! This is a misunderstanding!”

“A misunderstanding?”

“That’s right!”

“What misunderstanding?”

“Well, well… Now, I need to move the gold coins for a moment…”

The chief of staff quickly shook his head. And then he made an excuse. But no one will be fooled by such excuses.

‘Just tell the truth.’

If so, there is a very low probability that he could have been saved. But the leader dug his own grave.

“Is it a coincidence that the assassin was sent?”

“Ah, ah, the assassin is… that…”

“Wow, that’s a coincidence!”

“That’s right! Looks like someone has a grudge against Jeff!”

I ignored my subordinates’ excuses. There was no intention of keeping them alive anyway.

Soon my hand went up.

“In your next life, don’t do anything like betrayal.”

“Well, that is…”

“Hit!!”

“Attack everyone!”

Soon the boss’s subordinates rushed towards me.

And the top leader immediately started running away in the other direction.

‘Anyway, it’s ugly until the end.’

Soon my hands glowed.

And immediately.

Grumbling.

Flames made of sparks danced.

Of course, it was a very cruel dance.

This was because after the dance ended, no one survived.

***

Duke Philip jumped up from his seat.

“What, what!”

It was because something that should not have happened happened.

“Try again! Is what I heard true?”

“Yes, yes! Yes, it’s true! A huge fire broke out at the top of the burg. And it was confirmed that all high-ranking executives, including the head of the department, were burned to death.”

“Investment amount?! What happened to that?!”

The life or death of the Burg leader was not important. More important than that was the 500,000 gold he invested.

But the news that came was extremely grim.

“Well, that… they say it’s all gone.”

“What? Disappear?”

“That’s right…”

He said he couldn’t see anything in his burned down house. It’s just full of ashes.

dump.

The duke immediately sat down.

This didn’t make sense.

“Go, Your Majesty the Duke!”

As much as 500,000 gold disappeared in an instant. It was a very painful loss for him as well.

‘If this happens, it will cause a huge hindrance to future work.’

It was a huge loss recently. We lost money and troops. If this was the case, it would be difficult for anyone to maintain power.

Of course, in times like these, I had to keep my head straight. Exactly, that is how it had to be shown to subordinates.

He jumped up. After that, he gave an order.

“It is clear that someone broke in to steal the investment money! Quickly send the drivers to track it down!”

“Yes, yes!”

500,000 gold was not a small amount. It was difficult to move it at that level.

Soon the men around him began to move quickly. They had all gone out to deliver his orders.

Soon everyone left the room, and the duke immediately changed his expression.

It wasn’t the confident expression he had shown just a moment ago. His expression was full of frustration.

In fact, he was vaguely aware of it.

Probably, it will be hard to find the money.

‘Could it be that I was scammed?’

It was strange.

The Burg chief he saw was an unusual person. I still remember him resolutely pointing the sword at his own throat.

And if he were that kind of person, rumors would have already spread. No, I should have met him a long time ago.

‘But you didn’t. It felt like it had just fallen from the sky.’

In this case, one possibility could be considered.

‘Someone disguised himself as Burg’s chief.’

And he pretended to be the head of the Burg clan. It would be correct to say that they invested a huge amount of money and ran away with it.

‘The burned corpse was probably decorated by finding similar people.’

dump.

The Duke sat down again. I couldn’t get any strength in my legs.

‘Ha, I can’t believe I got scammed…!’

A huge shock struck. It was a similar shock to when his plan failed.

However, he had already experienced this kind of shock. So I was able to come to my senses quickly.

‘This is not the time. ‘I need to start cracking down on the house quickly.’

His authority comes from status, power, and money.

But now two of those three are shaken.

If this were to happen, people with wrong thoughts would arise below.

Just like Duke Philip, who planned a rebellion.

‘Zenjaaang! How dare you scam me…!’

He prepared to move with a face full of frustration. There was no time to wallow in frustration. I had to move as quickly as possible.

In this way, a great disaster befell Duke Philip.

Perhaps, it will be difficult for Duke Philip to show much movement for the time being.

Of course, this could be said to be good news for Jace Allen, who planned all of this.

***

Late at night. A shabby inn in Schweig.

‘Whew, luckily it looks like we didn’t get caught.’

Currently, I was having a boring time inside the inn.

I still had work to do. It was about taking care of supplies for the portal. Until then, I couldn’t leave Schweig.

Of course, I was very upset(?).

Actually, I have already been to Trier once. And he secretly hid 800,000 gold in the mansion.

The space pocket had to be empty to hold supplies. So I had no choice. Of course, I had no choice but to get upset.

‘What if someone takes it? ‘Master is especially dangerous!’

I came alone, leaving behind my precious(?) 800,000 gold. No matter how much I was, I couldn’t help but be worried.

‘Ha, when does the portal appear?’

Should we be thankful that the portal didn’t appear during our trip to Trier?

Of course, if it didn’t turn out like this, I couldn’t help but worry about other things.

‘Could it be that the prophet’s prophecy was wrong?’

Then it was just a waste of time. Oh, of course I made a lot of money. It also caused great damage to the duke. But I couldn’t help but feel regretful.

That was when I was looking at the sky through the inn window.

Wooow-!!

Suddenly an alien sound was heard from the sky.

Then a black hole appeared in the sky.

Of course, it was dark so it was hard to see. But it caught my eye clearly.

‘come!’

The portal had finally appeared.

It was late at night now. Perhaps that’s why it didn’t seem like people had noticed the portal’s existence yet. The evidence was that the surroundings were still quiet.

Of course it was better for me.

‘I thought I was going to die while waiting.’

I waited for that portal for a month.

I smiled in relief.

Now it is time to leave Schweig.

Pot-!

In an instant, my appearance disappeared from within the inn.

‘It’s time to go back to Trier.’

And no one noticed it.
