Isaac

“ ……. ”

“So if you want to see that kid get on top of the duc, teach him well. It's the same protagonist class, so it should work. Teach him some shit about Pendleton's dynasty. No, in this case, we should learn together, right? ”

Isaac giggles, and Libria goes down to the rooftop with more work to do than just stare.

“But you were too harsh. ”

Rizzley approaches to see if he thinks he's a disciple, and he smiles in disgust.

“Did you see how this grip is holding? If there was a lot of stuff in there, I'd have to let it slip away one day. I just used it because I had a good chance. I don't want to ruin the insurance before I can even use it. ”

Isaac grumbles, and Rizzley pours a glass of fruit wine into Isaac's hand.

“You said Pendleton had Central aid, but Wolfgang didn't have it. ”

“But?”

“Isn't Isaac trying to replace that aid? ”

“Me? That's funny. I wonder if I can live until the little one grows up. Well, I don't intend to. Maybe the others can help us instead. ”

“Elves, Northbears, other heretics? ”

“It may or may not. ”

Risley smiles meaningfully, and Isaac laughs back and forth.

Once one of the city's signatories with immense wealth and great influence on the central politics, and now its sole right to distribution, Zeroman came to the rooftop the day after the merger decision, where all the practitioners of New Port City gathered and knelt before Isaac.

It was a perfect sign of surrender.

“Nice to meet you. It's Zeroman, the mayor of Port City. ”

“I heard about it. You said your life would be worn out by a useless wasteland for a lifetime of favors. ”

Despite Isaac's straightforward voice, Zeroman nods bitterly and smiles, clearing his throat.

“That's why I regret it. ”

“Glad you know that now. ”

Zero's smile was familiar. A smile of a frustrated and exhausted person. Like yourself... But that's why you gave up everything you had to do, even if you wanted to benefit others with your rights.

“Aren't we old enough to know what kind of animal we are? ”

“…… What can I do? It's where I was born and raised and buried. I have no heir there, so I have no choice but to do what I want. ”

“Stupid.”

Isaac smashes his tongue and nods as if to admit it.

“One of the human instincts I know is that you deny the obvious consequences. ”

It was directed at the citizens who thought that if they were provoked by the authorities and merged with Newport City, they could once again have the same prosperity.

It seems that there is no thought in one's greed.

Zero was fed up with the behavior of citizens who insisted that they were public rights to a subject that they had freely shared their individual rights by selling themselves as traitors against the merger rather than maintenance.

“Let me ask you one question. How the hell did they get out? ”

I didn't know it in English, but people realized that the question was how to get out of the gambling cage early and avoid anger.

“It's nothing. I just threw away my greed. I had no reason to interfere. ”

“Is that so? Hmm, good. Kid."

“Yes.”

When Laira stepped forward on Isaac's call, Isaac stroked Laira's head and said to Zero, who was curious.

“I'll give you a ticket to distribute. Teach this kid instead. ”

“…… Teach? ”

“How ugly human beings can be in front of profit, how selfish human beings are, and how cowardly they are, etc. Teach the world. Since you've experienced a human being who forgets gratitude and tries to deceive himself with his self-rationalization, you must have a lot to say. Since this kid is the head of the merger and acquisition, there will be a lot of things crawling around. That should be enough for a bribe. ”

“It's an exaggerated position for me. ”

“Well, you better do it. The kid has no experience yet, so if someone doesn't grab him by his side, he'll get caught up in the process. What do you think I'm gonna do if I don't like the results? ”

“ ……. ”

“There are many people who have lost their lives in unfortunate accidents. After everything you've given up, you don't want to see him die in vain, do you? Well, I don't care if you want revenge. ”

“I will do my best, Choi. ”

Zeroman tightened his head while sweating cold sweat, noticing that he was going to flip the plate made if he didn't like it. All my life, Isaac taught me that what he said was no joke.
