Chapter 59 – Austin Roderick (1)

Oopup was truly a person who could not contain his curiosity.

To quote the reactions of viewers, he was ‘a personality who couldn’t control himself from the moment the switch was turned on.’

Also Henry.

From the moment 4 million won was at stake, I was determined to accomplish this task.

“I’m not from the Austin family, and I don’t know anyone from the Austin family. I just found out in a different way.”

The method chosen was the regular method.

Henry told the honest truth from the beginning.

No, rather than revealing it, it was more like a process of confirming it.

Because Austin can see through lies.

“I can’t tell you how. There’s a reason it has to be that way, and it’s not a reason to harm you.”

“Is it harmful?”

“Nothing you don’t like will happen.”

“You mean the Roderick family?”

“that’s right.”

It was the truth, it was the truth, it was the truth.

Austin let go of all the tension he had built up.

He paused, then burst into laughter.

“Who did you think you were? Henry.”

“What do you mean?”

“I forgot that Henry Camilton couldn’t have done that. What gives me goosebumps is that I don’t know what I would have done to you if it weren’t for my eyes.”

“If I had done that, I would have bought time.”

“Didn’t you just see it?”

“I saw exactly how he was suppressing those bastards. It’s difficult to evaluate him as a knight, but if you measure him as an assassin, his skills reach 5 stars.”

“You mean you can overpower it?”

Henry nodded, and Austin smiled awkwardly.

“You never cease to amaze me, Henry.”

“There are still some left.”

“I’m just happy, but it’s not a good place to have a long conversation. Should we move?”

“I need to start organizing things. I did my best to show off my skills.”

“I guess I should stop by Durandal first.”

“No, not these things. Of course I’ll sell these too, but those guys resting on the roof over there.”

“Organizing it? No way….”

“You guessed wrong.”

Henry chuckled and shook his head.

Because Austin’s eyes were asking if he was going to kill those thieves.

“Why kill precious human resources? You could be a good enough friend.”

“…Are you going to be a good friend?”

“Cromwell, Durandal, and their friends. If you just know the three types of people, you won’t have any inconveniences when using this place in the future, right?”

A manager, a wealthy merchant, and even friends of thieves roaming freely on the rooftops.

Austin, who had been calculating in his head for a moment, nodded.

“If you plan on becoming a regular.”

“It’s okay, right? Let’s reorganize. Let’s put those guys in a safe place somewhere. I’m going to meet Durandal and come back.”

“What about Ken? He’ll be back soon.”

Ken, the black market guide.

He was heading to Cromwell, saying he would report his daily income.

“Since work is over, you can just ask me to come in. I will do it.”

“good.”

Nodding, Austin disappeared again.

The situation has already been revealed.

This was because I decided that there was no need to hide my skills from now on.

Henry left and headed to the entrance of the black market.

I had a brief conversation with Cromwell, who was rushing towards me, and even left a message to Ken that he could leave work.

The next destination was Durandal’s trading post.

“You are truly amazing!”

I was impressed several times by Henry, who offered huge deals twice a day, and before I could say anything, he set a reasonable price and passed it on.

‘Did you earn a ransom through this?’

Two bills of exchange.

The bills with the name Ricos Parvucci written on them were 5,200 gold and 9,600 gold, respectively.

It was more than enough to pay the amount that the dean had threatened.

‘I can’t believe it’s this easy to make money.’

Henry sighed at the unrealistic number.

Of course, I know it’s because of the broadcast.

But even so, it was an excessive amount of money to have earned in one day.

Henry packed the note deep in his chest.

Then it stops.

“…Have I chosen a location?”

He said with an unfamiliar face.

When I thought about it, it was like that.

I told Austin to organize it, but I didn’t tell him exactly where to put it.

[ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ]

[Here it comes haha]

[I think he thought the same thing haha]

Henry looked away. It was just as it was said in the chat.

Austin was walking from a distance, smiling shyly.

***

Zest had a dream.

It was a dream where the vault door of the Royal Central Bank was opened.

There, Zest was gathering gold into a bag and smiling brightly as he remembered the vacation destination he was about to leave.

It was then that the devil appeared.

The black, sharp demon broke and cut Zest’s whole body.

“Aaaah!”

A loud scream echoed throughout the space.

It was a nightmare. As soon as he woke up, Zest took a deep breath. I wiped my forehead that was wet with cold sweat.

No, I tried to wipe it.

Gradually.

My hands didn’t listen. For a moment, Zest realized reality as if cold water had been poured on him.

“…….”

His hands were tied behind his back. It was with a thick iron pillar.

I saw a ceiling made of wooden planks.

The floor was no different.

There were straw bales piled up all around, and every time the dim light came in, you could see dust flying around.

The gaze moved to the right.

I saw other iron pillars and people in similar situations.

“……Rommel. Sinus.”

They were younger brothers who used to go together. The two people seemed not to have come to their senses yet.

And on the left.

“Keu…”

Competitors were grouped together in a similar fashion.

They were the ones Zest had given up on, and thanks to that, they had been subdued a few seconds earlier.

‘My dream was disturbed.’

Lupine’s right hand was a place where common sense did not apply.

It was a place where extraordinary things were considered common sense, and as such, Zest had a few principles to survive here.

One of them was about taking a break from work when dreams were fierce.

‘That’s clumsy. A mistake that only a beginner would make… … .’

It was a day where it would be perfect to say that my eyes were drawn to gold.

Even a year ago, Zest had self-control, but this year, its profits were particularly low.

Moreover, there was no crisis.

In the meantime, there was a lump of money rolling around in front of my eyes, so there was no way I could bear it.

“Rommel. Sinus. Open your eyes. Nutella too.”

With a low but strong voice, Zest woke up those around him.

We all had to work together to survive.

The Nutella gang were competitors on the roof, but they were good colleagues in other situations.

“Turn it off….”

“…Brother? Where are we?”

“Zest?”

Moans were heard from all directions. It was natural that it would have been broken in one place or another.

Zest woke people up again and briefly explained the current situation. To make sure they understand the situation.

“It’s urgent to loosen these hands first. This theory….”

“Can’t I just hang it up?”

said Nutella, leader of the rival group.

Zest laughed as if it was funny.

“That’s why I’m telling you that you still don’t have enough Jjambap, you brat.”

“Jjam Taryeong….”

Clap, clap, clap!

Nutella leaned her upper body forward and pulled her arms violently. But there was no movement in the chains that bound his hands.

“…It doesn’t work?”

“It’s a metal that swallows mana. It has everything. It’s not like they’re ordinary guys either.”

“Of course. If I had predicted it in advance, I would have taken a step back.”

“We took it out. We just miscalculated the range.”

“I guess I have to do something with this pillar.”

“Bottom rather than pillar… No, Rommel.”

“yep.”

“oil.”

“yep.”

The man called Rommel hastily took off his shoes. I moved my toes and took out a small bottle from inside my pants.

“Shall I throw it?”

“Then should I go and get it, you bastard?”

“no.”

Swish. Zest caught the flying bottle with his foot. An expression of ‘what if’ appeared on the faces of Nutella and the others, and Zest’s body was bent in a deformed manner.

Clink!

The glass bottle he was holding with his foot broke near his wrist. There were shards of glass stuck in it, but I didn’t care. Make your wrist as slippery as possible and crunch!

“Off….”

He removed the wrist joint and loosened the chain.

The chain fell helplessly to the floor.

Putting his wrists back on, Zest approached his two younger brothers without hesitation and took off the chains.

“Rommel.”

“Yep, I’m going up.”

“Cinus, please go with us.”

“yes.”

It wasn’t something that could be done with just one person watching.

Considering my previous experience, the difference in skill between me and my opponent was overwhelming.

“Brother Zest.”

“older brother?”

“Please help us too!”

Nutella said with a bright smile. The ferocious expression he had just moments ago was gone.

“What do you say?”

“Brother! I’m sorry!”

“When it comes to apologizing….”

“I found something in the lining of our top that you’ll be happy with! Let’s take it!”

He was a professional at turning crises into opportunities.

Zest quickly tore off Nutella’s top and took two pieces of paper.

One was a bill worth 1,000 gold.

The other was information written in poor handwriting.

“No, brother, I was just talking about Goldman.”

“It’s not enough?”

“Then I have to give you both.”

“The deal is done. I’ll release you.”

“Let’s hurry. But where did the guy who captured us go?”

Attitudes changed as soon as it was said that a deal had been concluded. However, Zest also looked unconcerned and began to untie the bonds.

“I don’t know. Maybe there’s something left to do… maybe they’re taking care of other things. Now, you take out one of them.”

“I feel so bad. I got greedy once and lost three months’ worth of income.”

“What if it’s only 1,000 gold?”

“Then give it back.”

Gradually. Gradually.

It seemed like they were just chatting, but the two men unchained their colleagues faster than anyone else.

Both of them had been rolling on this floor for several years.

Even in times of such urgency, I had enough mental strength not to lose my composure.

“They’ve solved everything… Do you think they’re going to kill us?”

“If that were the case, it wouldn’t have been real anymore.”

“If a devil comes out as soon as you open the door…”

“Enough with the bullshit. Let’s get at least one guy out. That will give us time to cut off the tail.”

“It’s so sad that we are in that tail’s shoes.”

“If you break the unwritten rule to survive….”

As he spoke, Zest turned the door handle. There was still no sign of anything around.

Rommel and Sinus will have taken their places separately, so if they approach you, you will know one step in advance.

So, that’s what Zest thought until he opened the door.

“Nice to meet you, friends. Are you awake already?”

The young man holding the dagger smiled and welcomed Zest.

After a moment of silence, Zest finished thinking.

“… I was just going to help you because I thought you were too late. I guess you finished your work well… I guess I should just go back to my seat for now, right?”

Zest smiled brightly and turned back.

He walked forward, sat down in front of the pillar, and fastened the chain he had already taken off around his wrist.

“…….”

No one spoke, and the young man holding two daggers only smiled.

For the first time since Nutella started working here, we decided to respect Zest’s ‘time.’

“Me too!”

“me too!”

“I’ll go home quietly!”

“Ah, great. Our friends are in good shape. Is the broken part okay?”

“It’s already attached!”

Nod. The young man, Austin, looked around at the four of them with satisfaction.

Then he looked back and said.

“What should we two friends do?”

“Um, us too!”

“Yes! I’m going in!”

“These friends are really good by nature, so why did they make such a mistake?”

Rommel and Sinus also quickly took up positions on Zest’s right.

A sloppily wrapped chain.

Awkward laughter.

Even the corners of the eyes twitch as they endure the pain.

It was an extremely awkward scene, but what was even more awkward was the situation that followed.

“Get out of the way.”

“Oh, yes.”

Austin stepped aside. To Zest, it was a shocking situation.

It seemed like Zest could subdue the young man who came in behind him with just two fingers.

‘What kind of relationship is this?’

The mana he felt was two-star at best.

Maybe it’s below that.

But what about the young man with the dagger?

Even if all six people here attacked at once, they were at a level where they could not be defeated.

furthermore.

What was even more shocking was that the new young man spoke as if he had already decided.

“Nice to meet you. My name is Secret, and I will be your employer from now on. Is there anyone who doesn’t like the offer?”
