How a Former Pro Takes Advantage by Doing an Easy Job

Chapter 164



Chapter 164. Extortion rather than negotiation (3)

“Wouldn’t there be a big problem?”

“Then why…

” “But we can’t export. Even if you don’t, half of it is blocked.”

Things change when you go abroad.

About half of the other countries follow the faith that the Seongguk claims.

In the empire, some time ago, the emperor took a priest from a holy country as his wife and officially recognized it as a religion, and there are not a few followers in other countries.

Public opinion play everywhere is annoying.

Am I really fair and fair to compete with instigation and fabrication?

If it's the merchant's way... it's a straight method.

“If this is the case, countries that are at least concerned about the castle will be reluctant to import chocolate in the future.”

It could be the seed of trouble.

If that's the case, you won't want to bring it in.

“But we currently have no plans to export.”

“okay. It is now.”

However, it seems that the export plan that may be in the future has been stoned.

That was why I was in a bad mood.

‘Was that woman like this?'

It is not difficult to know the intention.

“If you can't take advantage of them, do you want to prevent us from having an advantage?”

In case of emergency, if I get a method for mass production of fruit in another way and plan to export.

It is a means to prevent it.

Do you mean to contact them if you want to export?

It's kind of a warning sign.

“I’m done with this joke now, but it must mean that I will play more public opinion next time.”

what a common thing

“Perhaps, if I write a letter saying that I hope to join hands with them, the Seongguk will withdraw the previous declaration.”

The intention is clear.

“Shall I protest?”

“On what basis? Just don't respond.”

And it doesn't make much sense.

“You don’t have to go along with nonsense.”

Are you going to admit that you're crazy?

They must have already thought of ways to thoroughly deny that they had any connections with the Seongguk.

“But you can't be beaten like this, can you?”

My uncle muttered indignantly.

Although there is no damage to domestic business, it seems that as a merchant, I am quite angry that they ate a blow at their will.

“Hmm? It's a provocation like this. You really can’t be a nobleman over there either?”

I muttered with my arms crossed.

Although I was annoyed a little while ago.

I just felt dirty, but in fact, I didn't feel that threatened.

I didn't assume foreign exports anyway, and my gains didn't change.

“Arell?”

“Yes, Uncle. Sorry uncle, but actually I waited for them to do something stupid like this.”

Even though I was embarrassed because I made the stupidest choice, that's about it.

“Did you wait…?”

My uncle was puzzled, not yet understanding my intentions.

It's normal to not understand the feeling of waiting for the opponent to attack first.

But I'm different.

Looking down from up there, I hoped they would babble hard.

“I’ve always been cautious about not knocking on an innocent person first.”

“yes?”

Uncle probably won't understand.

“I'm not a thug, so what's the fun in destroying guys who just stay still?”

I am a gentleman

If the other person is friendly, I treat them the same way, and if I stay still, I won't touch them.

but.

“If you do nonsense first, I will gladly crush you.”

The opponent declares that they will not play fair from the beginning, so of course, shouldn't we be fair and fit in there?

Fighting is free.

Instead, you are free to perish.

And they chose it.

But how can I respect you?

“Could it be that Arel-nim intended to devour Geothal Corporation from the beginning?”

“of course.”

What they have is dozens of ships and the know-how to operate them.

“Why should I join hands with them? These are the things that I ate without rice like this?”

I grinned.

“I'd rather be sure to take what they have.”

What they have accumulated over the years is bound to be coveted.

So I wanted what they had for me.

And I waited for them to do something nonsense to make a justification for it.

yeah bark

barking moment.

that will be your end

It just makes me feel a little dirty.

“Uncle, is it still far from what you asked for last time?”

“You mean the investigation by Geothal Firm? I'm sorry, but it's still taking a while.”

Well, it's not a general store, but it's digging for a grand store, but it can't be that soon.

“But will something come out?”

“Definitely with me.”

I'm sure.

“Any business of that size, big or small, always has one or two things they want to hide.”

If anything comes out, you can somehow harpoon it after that.

“....All right. One… I don’t think it will be easy.”

“doesn't care. Dig carefully.”

It doesn't matter.

You can wait slowly and happily.

maybe they don't know

Now, they may not know that the countdown to announce their end has begun.

Feljin, the highest priest of the Holy Kingdom, smiled greedily as soon as he returned to the castle palace after finishing his condemnation speech against the Arnil Company today.

It's like.”

With only a few words spoken, his faithful followers are easily enthused and preaching his doctrine.

“There are no pigs.”

Like poor pigs thirsting for salvation.

He sincerely laughed at fools and walked through the palace.

“oh? You must be quite busy, right?”

From the other side of the hallway, a woman in a white robe was walking along with attendants.

Saint Nelvenia of the Holy Land.

“Aren't you such a saint? But where are you going?”

“I have an important meeting.”

“Ah, the messenger of the empire.”

It was only then that Feljin recalled that the messenger of the Empire was currently staying in the palace.

I had forgotten about it for a while because I had been distracted by the speech a while ago.

What can you do because it is not your jurisdiction?

“The saintess is also suffering a lot.”

“I can't help it. Shouldn't I do my best to keep the kingdom from being shaken by the absence of prosperity?”

Originally, negotiating and politics were not the main tasks that a saintess should do.

Nevertheless, the reason why she is so busy taking care of politics is that there is no prosperity in the current Seongguk.

Even after the death of the previous emperor, no revelation from the goddess regarding the next emperor has yet come down to the kingdom.

“I hope the revelation comes down soon. That way, Nelvenia-sama will have another hour.”

“That’s right. Maybe I am not receiving revelations because I am lacking.”

“It can never be, can it?”

Felzin gesticulated in denial.

“If the saintess lacks faith, then who really has true faith? Isn't it?”

“That would be nice.”

Nelvenia just laughed off the flattery of the ugly priest in front of her.

‘...What is there.'

But deep down, he harbors a deep sense of contempt for the white saint in front of him.

If you are a priest who is doing politics here, it is a fact that everyone has already noticed.

It's not that revelation doesn't come down.

It's just that the woman doesn't speak even after receiving the revelation.

After the death of the former emperor, a saintess who took control of the government with the timing of drawing a picture.

Indeed, there is no pure person in the world who believes that it is a coincidence.

Even so, there was only one reason why no one objected to the saintess.

‘Power is real, so I have no choice but to follow it.'

no matter what her nature

Only the power he has is real.

The water it touches turns into holy water.

A purification ability that defeats all mana in the world.

The power she possesses is superior to that of any other saintess in the past.

That's why no one opposes her taking over the country.

It is more beneficial to quietly follow than to confront.

The same goes for Felzin.

He knows his subject well.

I have no interest in prosperity.

It's much easier to just keep where you are and rake in wealth.

‘Heung, do whatever you want.'

That's how he never revealed his true feelings and tried to pass by after saying hello.

however.

“Come to think of it, he gave an interesting speech just before Felzin.”

As if just remembering, the saintess stopped her steps again and called out to him.

“…You said the speech a while ago?”

“There was a snack that was popular these days in the Kingdom of Ernesia.... It seems that the fruit belonged to the pagans.... I asked

what it was for, but is that it?

“I have never heard of it.”

“Isn't it difficult for the saintess to be in charge of paganism...?”

Originally, the treatment of pagans was under the jurisdiction of Feljin, not the saint.

No matter how much power she holds, she is a saint, not a prosperous woman.

You can't interfere up to that point.

“Are there any problems?”

“No, it's not like that... Who the hell did you get the information about the fruit from?”

“There are devout followers everywhere.”

There is no intention to reiterate.

He nailed it like that.

“is that so?”

The saintess only tilted her head, but didn't seem to want to raise a problem.

“Are there any problems?”

“no. You've done a good job on that so far, so I don't think I'll be interfering again. I was just asking out of curiosity. Then...

Nelvenia smiled again and then turned her head and started walking the way she came.

Felzin also went away as if he had nothing more to say.

Nelvenia let out a small sigh.

“Lua.”

“???? yes.”

The girl who was walking side by side at the call lowered her head.

“Who has the author met recently?”

“...I know you as a believer who works for Geotal Firm.”

“so?”

The saintess narrowed her eyes.

and clicked his tongue

“Even if you do useless things...

A face you never show to others.

Now, Nelvenia's face was stained with considerable anger.

“I told you not to touch the current kingdom of Ernesia...

but I did it before I even thought about how to deal with Ernesia.

That idiot is probably giggling over the fact that he gave Arel a shot by now.

‘Are you going to start a war right now?

A topic she couldn't handle...

That stupidity gave Nelvenia a mild headache.

Thanks to that idiot, the frame she was building was cracked a little bit.

“How much did he get…. That pig-like old man…

”. Shall we handle it?”

“…Put your sword in. It is not a problem that will be solved.”

Fortunately, there is no response from Arell Ernesia so far.

Then it wouldn't be too late.

“Geotal Sanghoe.... Lua.”

“yes.”

“I need to give you a little help.”

“I will do anything… but what?”

“It’s a bit cumbersome, but there are things I need to do. We need to draw the line right now.”

she sighed.

“There is something I need to tell you for a moment so that you can clear up the misunderstanding. Can you do it?”
