Isaac

Isaac's intention to find out where he sent the outsiders without his permission ended before he could even begin, because the group that turned their eyes on the prize money went to 10,000 gigawatts.

The average citizen of Newport City is being exploited for a day's worth of food, but it was a job to fight the incoming mercenaries with the strength of their shoulders because they were confident in their skills.

Isaac sighs and tells Codnell, looking for a corpse with no sacred corners.

“Give me the money. ”

“Yes.”

Codnell nods, trembling at the first sight of the corpse. The notoriety of Newport City has finally dawned on me as I watched the members of the group turn into blood, surrounding the corpse turned into a lump of meat.

When the people who received the money took care of the body and disappeared, Cornell left to rest for a while to see if he was dizzy.

Isaac said to Rizzley,

“Where did it go? ”

“The guy I was watching says he's headed for Solande's district, but he's too fast to judge." ”

“You seemed like a pretty quick guy. How'd you get caught? ”

“Dozens of nets were thrown from both alleyways to keep them frozen. He said he didn't want to capture her alive, so he killed her. ”

“Well, since you've fought so many mercenaries trained in Mana, that's standard behavior. If you knew this was gonna happen, why didn't you just ask? ”

“Shall we find out now? ”

“No, it's annoying. It's not even gonna end this one time. ”

“Well, I wouldn't give up on failing once. ”

“Rather irritating. ”

Isaac is a specialist on what used to be known as a Crazy Terrorist in the previous world through strikes and market wars.

So seeing what the Count of Fort Shi and Milos have to say about the disturbance, it's like a kid's prank, and it's stressful.

“You don't know, or you don't do it for a different purpose? ”

I think you want to buy laborers to keep distracting them from negligence, improper construction, looting materials, excessive use of materials, delaying the loading order of cargo ships carrying construction materials, and destroying some materials by neglect of warehouse management, etc., but even the leaders of each district rushed to Port City to do this before they could do it! ’and it is easy to prepare.

“What's the point? ”

Isaac asks for Codnell, who speaks his mind to the growing cost of construction.

“Obviously! Additional investments are taking place! ”

“But the construction is almost done, right? ”

“It's been way over budget. ”

“But what happened was too weak.... ”

“This is weak? So what would you do if Isaac had to stop this from happening because of Fort City's talent? ”

When asked, Isaac clicks back without a second thought.

“Obviously. If I were you, I'd set fire to the warehouses and construction sites where they keep the construction materials and burn them to the Holiday Party. ”

“Ugh. I can't even think about it. Wouldn't it be hard to reinforce the guard? ”

“You can assassinate the allies who helped me there, and if not, kill the workers at random. No matter how much money you pay, if you have no one to work for, you can't die or eat. ”

Isaac's harsh words chill Codnell's spine. It's unthinkable.

“Are we really going to do that? ”

“That's why I don't know. I'd definitely do that. ”

Terrorism is one of the most extreme acts of perpetuating means and means for its purpose. And it's as effective as it gets.

I don't use extreme methods, even though I'm sure if I succeed, I have no doubt that Isaac has other plans.

“Well, if you think about it, you won't get an answer, and you will someday. What happened to what I asked you, by the way? ”

When Isaac asks, Codnell cries.

“They are all famous people in the culture.... ”

“You don't need a celebrity like that. It's kind of perceptive, and everybody's like," Oh, him! ’That's enough. If you don't feel like it, recognize the people for a while. ”

“But do we need this many people? I don't understand why bands and theaters bring artists like painters and sculptors together. ”

“What if people get tired of gambling? Should I just go back inside and tell him to grow up? ”

“It makes sense to search for bandits and extremes to catch people.... ”

“It's the same thing. The poor artists will be compensated for their work, and I will own the creations. Once you've gathered some of the pieces, you'll have an exhibition and you'll have people watch it. ”

“Hey, I didn't know Isaac was so interested in that. There are a lot of nobles who support artists, but it would be the first time they've sponsored this much. ”

“Huh? It's not patronage, it's a fight. ”

“Yes? How is that an investment? ”

“If one of the artists I invest in becomes famous, his work will go up in price. I buy it cheap and sell it expensive. It's the cornerstone of the city.”

“How long is it going to take you to invest? ”

“Even if I step down from acting Lord, the Theta District is all mine. Living a rich life without worrying about money. Well, I don't care if none of them come out. If you have a reputation for supporting the poor artists, you can keep your fortune. What's so bad about a city of gambling, plus a city of culture and art? ”

“Yes, but when you succeed! ”

“I'm confident I'll succeed. No, we have to succeed. ”

“Where does that confidence come from? ”

“It's a matter of time, and at the opening ceremony after the construction, the musicians and the theaters are going to celebrate, so hurry up and gather some people into the network and send out invitations. ”

“But isn't it too humbling? There are only two gambling parlors under construction, and the rest of the facility remains intact. You don't have enough money to build a theater or a hotel. ”

“That's the revenue from opening and running a gambling den, building the buildings you need until then, using Port City. It's not that far. Just get ready for the event. ”

“Phew, I don't know anymore. I feel comfortable just doing what I'm told. ”

“Yes. Usually, it's easy to give up. ”

“What? Really? Just in case I sent you one. You're really here? ”

Isaac looks surprised at the report that Codnell brought. I didn't expect graduates from campus to come to work this year. With a college diploma, you can choose a place to work, even if you're not in Newport City.

Especially when Isaac became part of the college right before graduation and the campus students had to hate him, I never thought there'd be a graduate coming to work for him!

“How many people are here? ”

“There are three. ”

The same thing happened to Codnell. I am a candidate for an executive at the Ribollen Merchant Guild, but I applied to the campus and fell out of a professional commercial school.

But I can't believe I'm working with people from college!

Codnell's fear of settling down here with excitement has complicated his mind.

“Just call it in. ”

According to Isaac, Codnell soon disappeared and brought up three men and women. I didn't remember much about it on campus anyway, so I couldn't remember anyone's face.

“Good morning, sunbae. It's been a long time."

“… Hello. ”

“ ……. ”

A man with dark hair who looks pleasant, a woman with red hair who looks down, and a man who claps his mouth shut and stares with challenging eyes. Well, everyone seemed to have a strong personality.

“I'm sorry. I was surprised, too. I only sent it once, but I didn't think it would really come. ”

This is an unexpected harvest. If you are from campus, you can solve what you were thinking about where to find the missing administrative workforce.

“Hm, don't be too disappointed that I don't remember my successors. Honestly, I don't remember a lot of faces on campus. I think I remember that girl...... Was her name Celia? ”

Isaac gives you a slight nod. When I sprinkled gifts on poor, ordinary women who could not afford to live comfortably, I remembered that I was very impressed with one of the women who ended up refusing Isaac's gifts.

“Introduce yourself first. ”

“Yes, sir. My name is Calden. This fat fellow here is called a trans, and this shy girl is called Celia, just like you said. ”

Whether they are four years old or adaptable, Calden expresses their situation recklessly.

All three of them were just as poor as the slums of Newport City, so the campus was free of tuition and without any inconvenience, but the situation was still poor.

Calden had to borrow a paycheck because one of his family was in serious danger, and the steady cost of treatment was accumulated in debt. Even though he was favored on campus, he usually applied because he didn't see hope because he had a salary. He would pay the money, so he laughed generously to make sure he got the salary and bonus.

Similarly, the Transter suffered from debts before coming to campus. The house would have been torn apart long ago if the Transter hadn't been able to make it on campus.

Selia grew up in a family with a mother who was beaten by a wretched father and entered campus with an excellent affinity for Mana, as opposed to Isaac. As soon as Celia entered the campus, the wretched father used her money as collateral in many places.

In other words, money was more urgent than pride or face.

“Hmph. Codnell, I want you to check out their house and pay off their debts first. ”

“Huff! You shouldn't have done that in the first place... ”

“It's not a favor, so there's no pressure. You get your salary, you pay as much as you want there, and you take it. Think of it as a down payment. ”

“Thank you!”

“But doesn't it matter if everyone doesn't go home? ”

“I don't mind seeing your face because of the transmitter. And the house is so far away, I can't keep up with the time. ”

“Well, I can't help it if I don't like it. What about the others?"

“I don't care. ”

“…… I don't want to go. ”

Celia, a four-year-old Calden, who appeared awkward but strong because of the transformer or household environment that forced her to hate Isaac as an employer, did not seem ordinary in nature. I mean, normally, I wouldn't even be working under Isaac.

“But what should we do now? ”

“Huh? I graduated, but I need to rest for a while. There's plenty to see in Port City and lots of good restaurants, so take a break and enjoy yourself. I'll call you if I need you later. Ah! Don't worry about the cost, just tell Codnell over there. Codnell, you take my men and escort them to Port City. ”

“Yes, I understand. ”

As Isaac prepares to go around again, biting his cigarette as if he were done with his business, Cornell rushes the three standing men down with a puzzled look.
