Marquis' Express Butler

After walking for a long time, I realized I forgot one question that was important to Elona.

“Oh my god. I didn't ask you where Calmond is. ”

I've already walked quite a bit, so I'm not sure I want to go back. Every time I do this, I feel uncomfortable without my phone.

You should have gone straight to the hideout not long ago, but you inherited the base they used to absorb and integrate the Black Pigs. According to Kalmond, the site is used as a forward base.

I think he's in one of them. Where are we going?

“Shall we head to the forward base? Since this is happening, I'm going to have to take a look around. ”

I thought he might be guarding the HQ because he's my Underboss, but he seems to be there because there's a lot of work to be done at the Outpost.

Well, if you're not there, you can look around and head back to headquarters. No matter how neglected you are, it is good to keep an eye on the atmosphere of the organization.

I started walking fast with directions. Using Mana.

A few moments later, you plunge into the darkness.

It is located in a corner of the commercial district. There are few lanterns, and most of them rely on moonlight.

The reason it's more dangerous is that the roads are not serviced and the buildings are built indiscriminately, so it's very narrow.

It's a good place to get attacked.

“That's creepy.”

There are a lot of towering buildings around, so the angle is perfect for a ranged attack.

I looked around carefully and then came to the street and felt like I was staring at me around. Popularity mixed together.

“You have to tap and cross the stone bridge. ”

Gu Woong!

I spilled Mana around and triggered the self-defense mechanism just in case. The cracks are being polished. Now you can bounce off any attack you want.

I'm walking down the street, and two shadows pop out in front of me.

I naturally held the Mana Pistol in my hand because I felt I had some business.

The two shadows were very large, whether they were in good shape or not.

As I stopped walking, the owners of the shadow soon appeared. Two men with fists started walking towards me.

“What are they doing? ”

I injected Mana into my eyes to raise my eyesight. The field of view is as bright as daylight, and the details of the two coming towards me are clearly visible.

Armed. You wear a sword to your waist, and there are many screams in your arms.

Oh, my God. We got an assassin?

But then I saw something familiar in my eyes.

“Lucky you. ”

I had a smile on my mouth.

They had an Avengers badge on their top chest. I take my hands off the pistol and stand still and face them.

I don't know their faces, but these are my men. Those who get close to you bend at your waist.

“Welcome, boss. ”

“I shouldn't have freaked out. A bunch of big guys came out of nowhere. ”

Even if they don't know my face, I can easily recognize them because I have a gold badge on my chest. The golden badge is only allowed to the boss.

“I'm sorry. I came as soon as I heard from Eluna. I was told to take care of the boss because he was coming. ”

“Really?"

This is Eluna. She tells me what I want to do without telling her. Is this what Sapiella felt like when she put me to work?

But Elona knew I was going to the forward base? I'm starting to get goosebumps.

“Where is Calmond now? ”

“This is forward base. We're just waiting for the boss to arrive. ”

“Come on, let's go. ”

“This way, please. We'll take you.”

I arrived safely escorted by them. To be honest, I was protecting them both.

The Black Pig's headquarters was recently used, and the door was wide open. You hear a bright flame leaking out from inside, and a good laugh in the liver.

“The atmosphere has changed greatly. ”

“I was told to relax and rest today. ”

“Good, good. ”

Two big men stand guard at the entrance, and I step inside.

“Boss!”

Calmond runs out, hanging out with his men. The other guys stood up and hit me. The noisy interior was quiet.

I raised my hand once with a satisfactory smile.

“Keep doing what everyone else was doing. Never mind that I'm here. ”

“Thank you! Boss! ”

The commander is more comfortable with the title than the boss, but I'll just have to accept it.

It's almost time to write the title of boss anyway. When the company is founded, it will be called the Master.

The men sat back down and drank or played cards.

I was worried it might be too much, but Calmond didn't nag about it.

“I'll take you inside. This way, please.”

Following Calmond's guidance, you head inside the base. The trachea seems to have been disarmed. The atmosphere was different from when I infiltrated.

Calmond adds an explanation that you may have noticed it.

“The trachea is currently being repaired. It will be up and running again in two days. ”

“Don't save money, invest properly. This base is also a valuable asset to us. ”

“Yes, sir. ”

“I'm sorry to ask, but how have you been? ”

“Nothing happened. I did what I always do. But have you met Elona? ”

I nodded and went into the room.

It was so neat that I couldn't even think of it as a room in a dark family. There was a bookshelf and a table where you could enjoy your car.

I took a good look around and picked up a book from the bookshelf.

“I stopped by Eluna on my way over. He nagged me that you were waiting to choke me out. ”

“Hahaha. Well said. Everyone was worried because you didn't come on the day you promised. I have some leftovers in place. ”

“There was something going on. I wanted to come, but I couldn't. ”

“In the meantime, Eluna told me not to worry, the boss seems to be doing well." If it wasn't for Eluna, I'd be more confused. ”

He seems to be doing well.

As expected, Elona seems to know who I am. I don't know if I should interpret this properly, but I have to cut to the chase.

I turned the subject around.

“What about the rest of the Black Pig Tribe? ”

“I've cleaned them all out. There are no traces of black pigs left. ”

I nodded and put the book back in place. He shrugs his shoulder as he approaches.

“Well done! What's the mood of your men? ”

“As you can see, it's perfect. They're all so demoralized. I don't know who's going to fight, but I want to offer my condolences to them in advance. ”

“Hahaha. But don't get cocky. If you're careless, you'll get hooked in one shot. Didn't those Black Pigs do that to you? ”

“I'm well aware. But now we're strong. ”

Confidence. It's good.

I sat at the table. There were chunky papers on the table. Calmond approached me and explained that I was interested in the documents.

“It's a brochure about setting up a company. Eluna prepared it for you to read. ”

“I'll take care of it. He's got all this stuff ready. ”

Still, I went through the paperwork for the company. There were explanations of the purpose of the establishment and the method of the authorization, but there seemed to be no particular problem if I paid well.

There are several reasons why I want to start a company.

First, it was to systematically manage the business in the commercial district. I intended to maximize my return by introducing the concept of 'franchising’ where I lived.

The second was to organize a large merchant guild and mercenaries. The Merchant Guild and the Mercenaries are in an inseparable relationship. So I'm going to do both businesses together.

Finally, in order to improve the quality of the tissue in the phonograph paper.

The Company is legally incorporated and protected under the Territory Law. So it was much more profitable to create a company and drive multiple businesses.

“What's the name of the company, by the way? ”

“That should do as the commander says. ”

“The boss decides, that's not a good way. If there's a lot of people, we need to get our heads together. Tell the crew we're putting together a company name. And a prize.”

“Well, I understand what you mean. We'll let the kids know soon. ”

I put the company manual on the table. I'm a little thirsty. I asked Calmond to bring me something to drink, and the fine tea was ready right away.

It smells familiar.

“Where did you get the tea leaves? ”

“Eluna got it through the Merchants Guild. I heard that you like extra leaves, so I brought you some boxes. ”

“Well done.”

I thought it was a familiar aroma, but it was also a different leaf. There was once a time when I was treated by Sapiella, and it smelled like that.

Of course, in terms of luxury, it would not have been comparable, but I was surprised that there were such luxurious leaves in this crumbling, dull southern bath.

It's a trustworthy Eluna.

“How much money do we have now? in cash.”

“About 12,000 gold. ”

“About 2,000 more gold. ”

“We discovered a few more of Blackship's secret assets and cashed them right away. ”

“I see.”

I closed my eyes for a moment as I was twisting my legs and tasting the tea. You may have closed your eyes because you were tired, but I was rolling my head.

If you could spend 12,000 gold, how much would you have to give to Confucius Hamel?

I need to test Calmond's level for a moment.

“You know the Black Pigs are funding Prince Prague, right? ”

“I know. He was paying 1,000 gold bills a month. ”

“Do you know what that means? ”

“Well, maybe it's the business that's at stake. Lobby. It's common in the dark. ”

I shook my head.

“The Black Pigs funded it to make Prince Prague their successor. ”

“Yes? Like that……. ”

Calmond fixes his face to see if he can finally feel the scale of the case. Lobbying and creating an heir are not the same thing.

“Are you awake now? Now that we blew up that organization, the Second Duke won't like it. ”

“What do you want me to do? ”

“That's the question I'd like to ask. What would you do if you were in charge? ”

Calmond, who was thinking of the bear, shines his eyes and answers.

“Why don't you pay Confucius Prague another 500 gold a month for a total of 1,500? ”

“Not a bad idea... but it's only temporary. Take a wider look. A few steps away. The Black Pigs supported Prince Prague. Excluding other princes. ”

“That's right.”

“So how do you see a black pig for the first or for the third? I'm sure it's eye-catching. ”

Calmond nods, noticing something.

“I can see now why the commander was so worried. It's a way to hate someone no matter what they do. ”

“Exactly. But it's not like there's no way. ”

“Unless you don't have it.... ”

“That means there's a good answer. ”

I woke up from my seat. I started walking around the room slowly with my backpack.

I stood in front of the bookshelf again and picked up a book. It was a wonderful book titled "The Struggle of Mankind."

I opened the book and pulled out a trick.

“We fund all three. All in equal amounts! ”
