Chapter 440
“That’s what I mean.”
What they thought was nonsense.
Even if it really succeeds.
Yes, of course, if that happens, the branch will be unavailable for a while.
Products will also burn, resulting in losses.
But if it really goes that far, wouldn\'t it be investigated?
Moreover, Arel himself would not stand still.
With the magical skills he possesses, it doesn\'t take long to find the culprit.
“...I never thought I would be so sensible.”
“Don’t people sometimes do stupid things? I wonder if it might be something like that.”
In the end, he did it after going mad.
I have no choice but to judge it that way.
“Anyway, Mr. Eliam will go with you?”
Seina asked her intentions once more.
Currently, Seina was trying to secure the recruit of the superintendent who ordered this work.
As an order and as an escort, he could no longer be left unattended.
It\'s over the limit, so it\'s natural to deal with it.
That\'s why soldiers have already surrounded the entire building of the merchant\'s association, and Seina tore off the doors one by one to secure him, selecting a place for him to hide, saying,
“...It\'s nothing special. I just want to see what he said, right?”
“Then I won’t stop you. Just in case you didn’t know, I want you to take care of yourself.”
“Don’t worry. I don\'t even know the subject that much. In reality, it will take three steps back, so don’t worry.”
As Elyom pretended to save herself, Seina smiled bitterly.
“I just thought it wouldn’t be a big deal. What should you be careful about?”
Paying moderate attention, Seina kicked the door of the last remaining store owner\'s office.
Even a door with a strong iron plate would be shattered on its own with a slight kick from someone as skilled as her.
“The presence only comes from here, so it’s no use running away…..
Huh?”
If you resist, let\'s touch it in moderation so that you won\'t die.
Seina, who was about to prepare with her fists clenched at the thought, let out a devastated sound.
The culprit to be secured is here.
But for some reason, wasn\'t he fainting with foam at the mouth? I thought it was smoke and kicked it, but there was no response.
I\'m holding my breath, but that\'s all.
“...What happened to this sword?”
Puzzled, for now she only ordered the soldiers to secure him, then looked around.
It was doubtful, but nothing else caught her intuition.
“Something doesn’t make sense.”
“I see…
Elyom seemed to agree, just staring blankly at him as he was being dragged out.
All the members of the Chamber of Commerce were arrested...
and the only person involved who was not caught until the very end.
Cagin, the secretary of the Sangjuju, leaned back in his seat on the now out-of-town train with a slight sneer.
“From the looks of it, the arson seems to have failed.”
I saw the city slipping away through the window, but there was no sign of smoke rising.
Arson must have failed.
“...it would be natural to fail.”
It was proposed on the premise that it would fail anyway.
There is no doubt that Areel Ernesia is keeping an eye on their movements.
So he did something foolish on purpose, and while he was distracted by their attempt to set fire, he slipped out of the train like this.
‘What a fool he was.\'
he was mocking
The superintendent was really stupid.
At first, he was a pathetic merchant who suffered from a deficit.
I\'m sure he\'s so incompetent that he would have gone bankrupt within a few years if left unattended.
To him, Keigin secretly worked as an accountant, approached him, and suggested various acts of violence and tricks that he could use as a merchant.
At first he was hesitant too, but in the end he chose his proposal.
Of course, I won\'t remember what happened then.
And he probably doesn\'t know that much of the proceeds from the blatant smuggling went secretly to Keigin\'s safe.
To the end, in his memory, it would have been that he himself thought of the means and forced it.
He was delighted with himself that he had taken money he never had.
It\'s simple hypnosis.
There was no way that there would be any evidence left since there was no remnant of mana left.
Maybe if a competent investigation team comes out, you might feel a sense of incongruity.
By then.
‘In that gap, I get out like this.\'
If you use a teleport scroll or magic tool, you will notice the presence, so escape like this.
The escape plan was laid out from the beginning.
Forge tickets in advance. I put on a pseudonym and boarded the train.
Even if he noticed it after that, it would be after the day was bright.
‘It\'s not easy after all.\'
Keigin clicked his tongue and decided to promise the next one.
‘What happened. After all, there are still many greedy merchants.\'
There are many idiots who can\'t resist the temptation and offer nests.
Come to think of it, do you know that there are birds that secretly deposit their eggs in other people\'s nests?
similar.
He sneaks into the nest of such greedy merchants, secretly instigates their greed, and takes advantage of their illicit money while blindly.
Enough money has already been siphoned off.
As a result, nothing was lost.
‘Then where shall we go?\'
It was when Keigin unconsciously gazed at the window as he properly planned his next plan.
This train has its own romance, so I really like it.
It was a time when I had such a meaningless feeling.
That moment.
Our eyes met.
“.!!”
Keigin almost screamed at the feeling of the hair on his body standing upside down for a moment.
Isn\'t there a person hanging upside down outside the window?
His eyes glowed ferociously, like those of a carnivorous beast.
‘Caught?!\'
Cagin was stunned.
I expected someone to come after me, but the detection was too quick.
Moreover, he is not the only guest who is riding at this time.
There is also a disguise.
Still, he found himself at once.
Hanging outside the window is Arell Ernesia, a gray-haired young man.
Outside the window, he sighs and says something.
I hate to hear it, but I have no choice but to know.
It doesn\'t make any sense.
Just what Arell said.
“peekaboo?.”
As if playing a joke, he laughed fiercely as if he had found the tagger in a game of tag, and he boldly removed the hanging window, grabbed Keigin by the collar, and threw him roughly out of the train.
“Where are you running away, leaking!”
As he was rolling wildly on the ground, he couldn\'t hear Arell\'s annoyed voice.
As if it didn\'t matter though, Arel smiled and landed in front of him.
“If you cheated, now is the time to be punished?”
* * *
I must have rolled my head.
He deliberately buys multiple tickets anonymously and disguises his face.
Even if I noticed and chased the train to find him, he would have tried to run away in that moment.
All of that was to no avail.
I clung to the train, grabbed him without even looking at his face, and threw him out of the train.
Since he had no consideration for his opponent, he was slammed into the ground from the face down and rolled out as it was.
He\'s stronger than a normal human, so he won\'t die, but he\'ll get sick.
what? Don\'t worry, you\'ll start to get sick in earnest from now on.
Unlike the guy who rolls on the floor roughly, I landed lightly and snorted.
So, this guy\'s name was Kaygin?
“Okay, where are you going to get out after all the work is done? yes?”
When you come in and when you start working, it\'s up to you, but not when you go out.
However, Keigin does not answer and wriggles.
“It’s no use pretending to faint.”
It is obvious that he is holding a knife with his invisible hand.
“???? Kut!”
He gritted his teeth as if indignantly, and only then raised his head.
“so? Are you also a reincarnated member of that Heril bastard faction?”
He doesn\'t answer and just glares at me like he\'s indignant.
But not threatening at all.
By the looks of it, there seems to be no other fighting ability.
I probably trained to a certain extent, but that\'s it.
At this level, even Seina will suffer a little, but there is nothing she can\'t win.
Not all reincarnated people have high combat power.
Rather, this guy\'s specialty is...
“Commerce. Do you think you have confidence in cheating or betraying others?”
I came to that conclusion after thinking about what this guy had done.
He\'s probably a reincarnated person with experience of cheating
or manipulating others .
Did he try to tamper with the commerce in the kingdom and make a little mess by manipulating the merchants of the Budell Company and manipulating the other merchants?
Either way it\'s not the same.
“…How do you identify me? At least I wouldn\'t have expressed anything in front of you.”
“huh? can\'t be specific I doubted it, but I wasn\'t sure.”
He doesn\'t have enough talent to instantly recognize a guy who hides his identity and stays calm.
Still, how did I find and select only this guy at once?
“You know why I pretended to be a merchant and went to sell sugar? At that time, I secretly engraved a mark on all the affiliated merchants there... Oh, I can only see that, so it\'s useless to look for it now.”
“???? what?”
“Anyway, at the point I came, I expected to be prepared to bounce.”
I don\'t have to pick and choose.
After destroying the whole store, all you have to do is follow the mark engraved on the guy who stands out.
From the beginning, I believed this guy would abandon them and run away.
The real purpose was to annihilate the Budell Company and pick out the reincarnated people hiding there.
“From the beginning... are you saying that the purpose was to find me?”
“In the first place, from the time I talked to the bastard Heriel last time, I was keeping an eye on information across the kingdom.”
“. yes?”
He puts on the face that he can\'t be trusted.
Isn\'t it natural?
When I decided to be hostile with that bastard in the first place, I thought that he would come up with anything.
I admit I\'m a lazy person, but I\'m not so lazy that I don\'t even know I\'m getting my nose cut with my eyes open.
“...Well, that\'s disappointing.
I\'ve been looking forward to seeing how they attack. Is this all?”
He clicked his tongue in genuine disappointment.
At best, I never thought I would think of manipulating the merchants behind the scenes to scrape together money regardless of the means.
What are you talking about?”
“hmm?”
What made me frown was Keigin\'s expression of complete incomprehensibility.
“Heriel? Who the hell is he...?”
“Are you going to stick out your flippers now? You mean the leader who sent you.”
But what made me realize that something was wrong was that the face he was seeing wasn\'t lying at all.
It\'s a face he really doesn\'t know.
“...isn\'t someone sending you here?”
You don\'t have to listen to the answer to know.
‘...was nothing to do with him?\'
In other words, it was true that he was a reincarnated person, but he had nothing to do with Harry Earl or the group of reincarnated people he led.
Since he was a reincarnated person who intervened at this moment, I thought he was playing tricks without fail.
what?
“Ask again. So you\'re saying you made this up on your own?”
If you don\'t answer properly, you should know how to separate your stomach, head, and chest right away.
“...That\'s right.”
“Without instructions from anyone?”
The nodding speed became faster.
“…What am I going to do now?”
