How the Villain Lives

24. Stations at stations.

After a short time, Jack spits on his chewing face like a bug, and then picks up his sword. Of course, it turned into a smiling face right after that.

"I'll compliment you."

"What do you mean?"

"about the fact that it troubled me like this. Well, good. As you said, it's a very important item for me. I'll take your offer."

Let's go, let's go!

"What are you all doing? We got a deal. No applause?"

As Jack urged, the people who were besieging him started applauding him with a trembling expression.

'This guy's not normal either.'

Sung-hoon, who was quietly looking at Jack, hesitated to put him at the top of the list of dangers he met. Physical strength is unknown, but it takes the ability and, above all, the personality to do what many people want. Extreme personality changes that seem to evoke bipolarity.

I haven't spoken to Jack in less than 10 minutes, and in the meantime, I've already changed my personality three times. Though I thought it might be smoke, there was no consistent unity.

'What did I do wrong when I was involved with a madman?'

"Ghost, you're a very funny guy. So I'll give you a special foothold, too. You can be proud of it.You 're the only one who's attracted me to anything other than strength and power."

"I'm glad you're happy, too. Then what are you going to pay for it?"

"Well, if you were in the city, you could have financed about 10 billion guilds right away."

A guild of 10 billion dollars was enough money for Jack, the chairman. After all, the city was almost like its own private enterprise, so it was free to withdraw money. But right now we only have to deal with things and money we have.

"First of all, the cash I currently have is about 4 billion guilds."

"Individuals holding 4 billion guilds? Are you in charge of the Giant Guild or something? '

"Anyway, four billion is paid in cash for the other six billion, but unfortunately none of the stuff I have right now is worth it. One Elite Advanced and three Uniques. Is this possible?"

"Let's look at the stuff and talk about it."

Jack hesitated to take the items out of the inventory and showed them one after the other, as they were not a runaway situation anyway.

The first one received was an unusually shiny headband that was slightly more attractive than the women or the beauty they could wear. However, performance was not even attractive. There was an option to create a shield that corresponded to Class 4 at all times on the head, as well as a large amount of wisdom and horsepower.

'Wizard can use it, warrior can use it. If you use a helmet, your head's Defense will double and you will gain Defense against Pierced areas. On the contrary, even if you don't wear a helmet, this one is the same as wearing a helmet.'

Helmets that defend the head that can be called urgency are certainly important armor, but they are not used by professionals who are restricted in their field of view or who prefer combat with unmanned speed.

"Elite Rank is superior, but efficiency is much better than just weapons and clumsy magic accessories."

"I see. Then it's the rest of the stuff.."

"Well, I have something to say about that."

Jack kicks his tongue as if he was a little cool and starts pulling items out one after the other.

"I didn't bring any items when I came here, so I only have three of these. It's an item that killed and took one of the runners without even knowing the subject matter here, but frankly, it has a very low rating."

"Low?"

"Unique."

Unique was never a common item, but even though the people here can't, Rare Advanced carries a few uniques by default. Sung-hoon, who was thinking about bouncing a little more, almost sighed as soon as Jack checked the performance of the item.

'This....'

Hero's Shoes.

All stats +10

A set of items for 'Hero's Shoes', 'Hero's Gloves' and 'Hero's Cloak'.

"The ring seems to be quite useful, but the other two are so poor that the stat increase rate is not enough to call them unique. Honestly, it looks a little cheap, but it's still a set item? Who knows what's gonna be a hell of an option when you put them all together?"

I said that, but I didn't think I could collect them all. In fact, just gathering three sets of items would have been the man Jack killed, skilled and fortunate.

However, the reality was so difficult that it was almost impossible to collect even a simple set of items.

'I hope you can move on.'

Less than 10 billion guilds. However, the garage is also overflowing at the expense of obtaining one of the elite intermediate manna stones. If I could see my face, I would have guessed somehow, but I couldn't even read my emotions because of that damn mask.

And the ghost, who had been silent for a while, nodded and said,

"Very well. We'll trade."

"Huh? Is that good enough?"

"In fact, I'm going to have to make a little bit of a loss on my first offer, but it's not good to have one, so I decided to step back."

It sounded plausible to third parties who were not parties to the transaction, but not at all to the parties.

"A moderately backward man can take four billion guilds and an elite headband? '

'You can complete the set items!'

Sung-hoon concealed his excitement as much as possible and handed the item back to Jack. After obtaining the Hero's Cape, I tried to get the rest in the White Room, but I couldn't get it anywhere, so I gave up collecting half the set.

But I never thought I'd be able to save the other three at once!

Of course, Jack also killed and robbed someone, but that wasn't important to Sung-hoon.

'Normal or magic set items are rare, but I'm looking forward to seeing what options you have.'

Jack smiles at Sung-hoon, who once stroked the hero's cloak.

"So when do we exchange items?"

"I have to get to where my colleagues are and to calculate these things... I think I should have at least three days."

"Okay, three days, right? So, ghosts, do we have a deal to add to each other's trust?"

Jack Apron has applied for a "legitimate contract".

Jack Apron and the Ghosts should come out to the Clock Tower at noon in three days.

Jack Apron offers ghosts four billion guilds and 'Hairbands of Pharma', 'Hero's Shoes', 'Hero's Ring' and 'Hero's Gloves' three days later.

Ghosts give Jack Apron the Heart of Fire three days later.

"It's amazing that there was such a skill. How did you save him?"

"It's a lot to learn because of your vocational skills. If you break the contract, the formulation will come in immediately, so I hope you don't think about breaking it. The formulation level is not the highest. '

If you break the contract, the Death Curse will trigger and consume your stamina.

"That's scary. If there were more of this, how many more conditions would you add?"

"What is it?"

"It's nothing. Are there provisions for ensuring each other's safety? I'm the one who lives without the law, but honestly, Jack can't believe it."

If anyone who knew about the Holy Spirit heard it, they would sell it from their ears immediately, but the only people here who were lucky or unhappy were those who did not know about the Holy Spirit. After a few words of conversation, I was able to add a total of three more conditions.

Ghosts and Jack Apron do not directly or indirectly harm each other.

If attacked by one side, it can be used as a means of self-defence.

Jack Apron does not follow ghosts directly or indirectly.

"Well, I'd like to catch more, but suspicion is not good. That's all I'm going to do."

"All right. This is a deal. Shall we shake hands for the anniversary?"

"I'm sorry, but I'll go first. Time is gold."

"You want me to pay you in gold?"

After Jack making a joke that was not funny, Sung-hoon literally threw himself to the ground from the rooftop and began to disappear at a fast pace. Looking at him, Jack gently shrugs his shoulders and starts to get out of the way.

'Yes, I'll keep the contract. Have a happy dream for three days, ghost.'

A duly justified contract.

The name is plausible, but never so. The interpretation of the terms and conditions attached to this contract was simply possible. For example, it is said not to cause indirect damage. How far is this category of indirect damage?

Taking orders yourself? What if you just take a gesture with your subordinates without giving an order? Or if your overzealous subordinates don't have to give orders?

In other words, a legitimate contract was a punitive contract that could be broken at any time if only a plausible objection could be made.

'It was fun, but you pissed me off too much.'
