“Hmm?”

When I arrived at the blood-red restaurant to eat with Irina, I tilted my head.

It was because the restaurant was noisy.

Of course, the restaurant itself is bound to be bustling when there are a lot of people, but it seemed to be noisy for other reasons rather than because there were a lot of people coming to eat.

‘Usually something like this ends up on the pad.’

I immediately took out the pad and went to the Blood Tower bulletin board.

As expected, there were a lot of conceptual posts about the current situation posted on the Blood Tower bulletin board.

[“That” idiot’s mouth lol]

[So, who threatened you with magic to raise the price?]

[I really want to kill you haha]

After looking through the posts on the concept post, I was able to get a rough idea of what was going on in the restaurant.

‘Is he the owner of another restaurant?’

I thought so too.

If you open a bloody restaurant, most wizards will come to eat at the bloody restaurant, so the number of people who come to your restaurant will decrease, and they will express their dissatisfaction.

‘It just worked out.’

I was planning to go see him anyway and ask him if he wanted to leave the Blood Tower or normalize prices and do business straight away.

Of course, I feel like I want to kick them out right away, but there might be people who like the food at that restaurant, right?

…

That said, there wasn’t a single compliment about the taste of the food, as they probably didn’t serve a delicious meal even though the price was high.

If you think about the article below, the blood-red restaurant serves only the quality of school lunches…

Unless you have a lot of money, most people invest in food.

There is no need to spend your days eating relatively tasteless food.

If the owner’s restaurant was a place that served delicious food for the money, there wouldn’t have been such a loss of people.

Ultimately, it means that you are self-employed.

‘I’d like to ask you at least once.’

“Stay here for a moment.”

“Sister?”

I think I should go inside, scold the boss, and then come back.

I patted Irina’s head as if to tell her not to worry and walked inside.

“Do you think this makes sense! Who do you think has been feeding the magic tower all this time?! yes?! Come out to the magic tower! Oh!!”

“Okay, I came as you said, but is there any problem?”

“Problem?! Yes, there are so many!! Are you kidding me… do… No… ”

The man who had been answering my answer confidently stiffened for a moment as if something was strange, then slowly bent his neck and turned to look at me.

“You, you… ”

“He is the tower owner of the Bloody Magic Tower. I heard you said you had something to tell me, so I came to see you in person.”

The man rolled his eyes again.

It seemed like he didn’t know how to respond.

That was natural.

It is true that the owner came to the blood-red restaurant and made a fuss, asking to call the magic tower owner and demanding that such unfair treatment make sense, but he only did so within the blood-red restaurant and did not directly ask me to bring me to the magic tower.

But if I suddenly came to visit, of course I couldn’t help but be embarrassed.

You are probably perplexed inside, thinking, “Why did such a high-ranking man suddenly come to visit?”.

But the man probably didn’t know.

Wizards have their own communication channels.

I crossed my arms and approached the man.

Because I was short, I ended up looking up at the man.

He clicked his tongue at me.

“I don’t like it. Is this body supposed to look up at you?”

“Well, that’s… ”

“Kneel.”

thud!

As soon as I spoke, the man’s legs bent of their own accord.

“Ugh… ?!”

Lord of all living things.

The transcendent of life.

Everything in the man’s body was in awe of me and instinctively bowed to my words.

“Ugh, ugh… ”

The president gritted his teeth as his legs were forced to kneel.

I was trying to move my legs somehow, but no matter how hard I tried, they wouldn’t budge.

“You, and your father and father… Why are you blaming me for doing something good to someone who has clung to the blood tower like a parasite and made a living?”

“Huh, huh… omg… ”

“Do you really want to die?”

The Kingdom of Darkness does not allow humans to be killed arbitrarily.

Unlike the empires of the past, the recognition that all human lives are precious has long been widespread.

Now, I don’t think it’s a good idea for me to kill this man here.

Of course I have no intention of killing him.

To begin with, he didn’t like killing ordinary humans, not even the Demon Lord’s army, so he never killed anyone even during the warrior party.

Just by not sucking blood, which is a natural behavior for a vampire, you can tell that I don’t like harming people.

Of course they will kill if necessary, but they do not necessarily want to do so.

I didn’t kill anyone or committed a similarly serious crime, and there was no reason to kill the man in front of me.

but…

‘I guess I’ll have to pay for what I’ve done so far.’

If you make a bold move by calling it a monopoly, you will break your head.

Of course, it was this man’s ancestors who made more money and built wealth… Considering that he was living a wealthy life with the money he earned at that time, it was no wonder that this man paid for his sins.

I made up my mind.

“I changed my mind. There was a better way.”

Making prices return to normal is really stupid.

rather…

“Now you have two ways.”

“Two, you mean two ways… ?”

“The first thing is to embroider. Since we have been defrauding for generations, shouldn’t we spit out the money we earned through illegal means?”

“Well, that money… ”

“I heard that it has been harvested for over 100 years from generation to generation… Wouldn’t this be enough?”

When I wrote the numbers on the pad and showed it to him, the man looked shocked.

“ I can’t pay this much!! Where in the world is there a small business owner with this much money?!”

“Then what should I do? You should at least sell your body. Of course, even if you were sold into slavery yourself, you wouldn’t be able to repay this money even if you worked all your life, but isn’t this the best way for an incompetent person like you to repay the money as much as possible?”

It was a pity for the man because he was paying the price for the sins of his ancestors.

Therefore, I tended to recommend the second method.

“Then… It’s the second method.”

“Ugh… ”

“The second one is no different. Provide free food like the bloody restaurant. Don’t worry, I can provide you with the ingredients, so all you have to do is cook and serve the meal.”

“Free, you mean for free?!”

The man asked back with a shocked expression.

“That’s not all. This proposal is not only for you, but also for all the outside restaurants in the magic tower you are staying with. Didn’t those Chichis also attack our magic tower?”

“Well, you can’t do that! How can you run a business without receiving any money?”

“Hmm, he must have accumulated wealth by stealing money from blood wizards… Shouldn’t we be grateful just for not having it all taken away from us again?”

He’s a really greedy guy.

“That’s… ”

The man gritted his teeth at my words.

“I won’t stop you from spending money with the money you earned. There is no need to give that money back to the Blood Tower. but… The Blood Tower will never offer compensation for your labor. Also, if you run away or steal ingredients and sell them… You know what happens after that, right?”

In short, you have to work at the Blood Tower for half your life.

“Ugh… uh… that… ”

“Better choose wisely. However, please do not forget that I am doing my best to accommodate your convenience.”

I laughed and said to the security guards in the bloody restaurant behind me.

“Take this man out.”

“Yes!”

“Now, wait a minute! Please wait! There’s still a story… !!”

“No work. If you don’t provide free meals by tomorrow, I’ll assume you’ve chosen the first route and prepare for lawsuits.”

Does he really think that I will spend time for him?

It’s incredibly stupid.

“Meal time with Irina was delayed. Tsk.”

The child was already hungry, but there was no help whatsoever.

From what I hear, other than that man, the other bosses of Magic Tower will also hear this story and make their own decisions.

If a free meal was not provided, it would be treated as an offer not accepted and everything would be dealt with.

It was time to clear the accumulated debt of 129 years.

‘The bulletin board must have gone crazy.’

I saw you were all watching it earlier.

It might be fun to check the bulletin board again later.

‘It’s a good thing that my image is improving.’

Once my image is up, I can start my plan.

With fresh steps, I left to greet Irina.

I have to eat first.
