'Mr. Shiliew, again. Another leaver. ......
What? Hey, what's going on here? You're already five in three days.
Something was about to happen in Notorious, Glendale's largest adventurer clan. A succession of adventurers with mid-level or higher abilities had told him that they were leaving the clan.
It was one of Notorious' executives who reported this to the head of the clan, Silieu. Another executive reports the next problem to Silieu.
''That guy from Lenin hasn't heard from us since he went to deal with the pills. Only that guy who is fast on the run shouldn't be able to get caught.
It's hard to imagine the ...... guy getting out of here.
Yes, I do. That's why it's so creepy that he hasn't heard from me and hasn't been back for two days.
Notorious used the name value of being the country's largest adventurer clan to secure logistics routes that ordinary merchants couldn't have. A particularly profitable commodity among them was illegal drugs.
Silieu and the other executives of Notorious had all amassed a huge amount of wealth from illegal drugs. The man named Lenin, who was most active in the drug trade, has now been lost.
That wasn't the only problem.
'It's not just Lenin and the leavers, the underlings aren't coming back either.
Well, don't tell me they all ran away together!
When Notorious finds a new adventurer with decent strength, they ask him to join the clan. In the beginning, skilled adventurers will kindly teach you the know-how of adventure, but after some time, the newcomers will be used as fodder for the ku-la-ngs.
They are made to take orders for requests that fail on purpose, and if the rookie adventurers fail to fulfill their requests as the clan intends, they are made to take responsibility for their debts.
The new adventurer will have to keep taking the requests assigned by the clan in order to pay off the debt. When he manages to pay off the debt, the clan will again specify a request with a higher difficulty. Once you fall into this negative loop, you will be exploited by Notorious until you can no longer fight as an adventurer.
Notorious' cadres are always well-fed and well-deservedly well-fed, and dressed in high-performance armor. The purpose of this is to show these new recruits that they can dream of becoming like them someday.
Sometimes Silhouette gathers the newcomers, who have no money and can only afford a simple meal every day, and buys them a meal. ...... This was another act to keep the newcomers from running away. He used the candy and the whip to his advantage, exploiting the new adventurers with a half-brainwashing technique.
But that was only the brainwashing method.
There was no effect before the real brainwashing technique.
'Damn it! ...... Could it be that a(y)y(y)ts and others?
The guys that Shiliew refers to are Kate and Aria. The day after I sent the two of them out on a request to defeat the Silver Fox, various problems began to occur in this clan.
''No, that's indeed overthinking it. No matter how likely they are to turn into a monster in the near future, there's no way they'll be able to do something like that to crush our clan.
But I'm also concerned that you haven't been able to reach Keel anymore. He hasn't given me a single spinner for my money!
Keel went to reconnoitre the House of Elnor and was found by Hurt and fled from Glendale. He had originally established secret strongholds in various countries, and there was no need for him to stay in this country where he felt in danger.
Notorious was now facing his biggest problem ever, and it was undoubtedly Keel who had created it. And Silieu was somewhat aware of it.
Even though he's involved in bad things, he's definitely one of the country's top adventurers in terms of his abilities. He couldn't get this far just by being strong. He has a quick mind and a natural animal-like intuition. With those things, Shilu has made this clan this far in the organization.
But that ends today.
''Si, Mr. Silieu! Oh my God!
The door of the conference room dedicated to the executives opened vigorously and a mid-level adventurer jumped in.
''...... We're in the middle of an executive meeting right now, right?
Can't you at least give me a break?
Oh, my God! Come now.
What's going on? Explain it to me.
'No, the thing is ...... and come with me anyway!
For some reason, the mid-level adventurer doesn't try to explain. Despite being suspicious of this, Shilu and the executives head to the entrance of the clan.
''What do you mean?'' Why are you guys all here?
At the entrance, a group of Notorious mid-level and above adventurers had gathered.
'You're here ...... well, no way.'
There is a cadre of executives who are aware of almost all of the evil that this clan is doing, and they are aware of something.
Those gathered were those who dealt with illegal drugs, those who traded slaves through back channels, those who drugged female new adventurers and did whatever they wanted with them, and those who dealt with newcomers who were no longer useful. Those who had been involved in some kind of evil were gathered here.
Open the door to the entrance and...
'Hello. This is a very nice location for a clan.
'The only good thing is the location. The thoughts of these men are repulsively rotten.
We have become so accustomed to the Lord's cleanliness that we are uncomfortable being here. These people should be extinguished as soon as possible.
Three beautiful women entered, bringing ruin to Notorious.
