Chapter 260 – I, Vice President Theo, Do Not Make the Same Mistake Twice, Meow!

While Se-jun engaged in a war of nerves with Elge Caiman,

“Kona, are you okay, meow?”

“Peng… Lord Theo…”

Theo looked after his subordinate Kona.

At that moment,

“By the way, do you know who I am?”

Through Theo’s ears, he heard Se-jun asking Elge Caiman.

Se-jun said this to tell Elge Caiman not to mess around, relying on Theo and Cuengi who were hanging onto his legs, but

‘President Park is so frustrating, meow! How would that guy know President Park? Puhuhut. It can’t be helped, I, Vice President Theo, President Park’s right hand, must step forward and introduce President Park, meow!’

Theo thought Se-jun was really asking because he wanted the opponent to know him and was waiting for an answer.

“Puhuhut. If someone asks who President Park is, it’s only natural to answer, meow! Since you don’t seem to know President Park, I, Vice President Theo, President Park’s great right hand, will introduce President Park, meow!”

Theo, hanging onto Se-jun’s leg, started revving up his engine to introduce Se-jun, and Se-jun watched with subtle expectation to see what Theo would say.

However,

“What is this poop-colored cat?! Get lost!”

Elge Caiman, already angry that a trivial guy was trying to act equal to him, screamed at Theo in an annoyed voice as another one hovered around.

“Haaak! Shut up, meow!”

Puck!

How dare he call me, the Golden Cat Theo Park, poop-colored, meow?! Enraged, Theo moved quickly, slapped Elge Caiman’s face—the one who called his fur poop-colored—to knock him out, and

“President Park is the President Park of me, the subordinate of the Great Black Dragon, the Fatal Dragon’s Claw, the Gol!den! Cat Theo Park, meow!”

proudly introduced Se-jun to Elge Caiman’s guards.

Ta-da!

While doing so, Theo pointed at Se-jun with both front paws. At the same time, he gave a signal to his younger siblings. Do it together, meow!

Kkueng!

So, Cuengi pointed at Se-jun with both front paws, and the Golden Bat pointed with both wings, following Theo.

As a result, it definitely had the effect of highlighting Se-jun compared to a moment ago.

A peculiar way of introduction, presenting Se-jun as ‘the who of the right hand’ rather than ‘the right hand of who.’ Naturally, this kind of introduction could only be used when the right hand’s reputation was high.

Hearing Theo’s words, Elge Caiman’s guards could not learn anything about Se-jun.

However,

“The Golden Cat Theo Park?!”

They heard the words ‘Golden Cat’ loud and clear.

Golden Cat Theo Park. As the being who solved the disappearance case in the merchant passage and saved the Great Merchant Uren, he was the hottest rising star in the Black Tower these days.

But what was even more amazing than that was Golden Cat Theo Park’s immense personal connections.

Friend of the 99th-floor boss, the Bull Demon King.

Lover of the Mage of Great Destruction, Iona.

The savior who saved the life of Great Merchant Uren.

Each and every one of his connections was enormous.

On top of that, there was even a recent rumor that the Great Merchant Mimir, one of the three great beauties of the Black Tower, had offered her own fur to get closer to Golden Cat Theo Park.

“If such a Great Person, Lord Golden Cat Theo Park, is that person’s right hand…”

Elge Caiman’s guards looked at Se-jun and realized that something had gone terribly wrong.

At that moment,

“President Park, here it is, meow!”

Theo, who had stamped Elge Caiman’s handprint before anyone knew it, brought a blank contract to Se-jun.

“Huh?! This is… Vice President Theo, good job.”

Se-jun praised Theo after looking at the contract.

“Puhuhut. Of course, meow! I am the great Vice President Theo, meow!”

While Theo, delighted by Se-jun’s praise, buried his face in Se-jun’s lap and rubbed against it,

Scribble, scribble.

Se-jun began to fill in the contents of the blank contract.

As Se-jun was writing the details on the blank contract Theo had brought like that,

“Keuh! You bastards…”

It would have been better if he had stayed unconscious… but Elge Caiman woke up. It was thanks to the high-performance items protecting his body.

“Do you know what you have done just now?! You dared to touch the Third Prince of the Caiman Kingdom?! Do you know?! From now on, it’s war!”

Elge Caiman, unaware that his slave contract was in progress, began pouring out wild words as soon as he got up.

“Uh… Prince…”

The guards hurried to block Elge Caiman’s mouth, but

“Let go of me! I’m going to show these guys what’s really terrifying in this world!”

Elge Caiman was already blinded by anger.

‘It’s not that… I think we are about to see something terrifying…’ The guards of Elge Caiman were in a dilemma, unable to do anything.

However,

Gooooo.

Elge Caiman was escalating the problem by sending murderous intent toward Se-jun and the animals.

Gulp.

Exposed to Elge Caiman’s murderous intent, Se-jun swallowed hard without realizing it and showed discomfort. It was bearable, but it felt unpleasant.

And when Se-jun showed signs of displeasure,

“Nyang?!”

Kkueng?!

(Bat?!)

Kyu-?!

the animals reacted sensitively to Se-jun’s state and exuded murderous intent.

Of course, the animals, who had developed the habit of always looking out for Se-jun through much learning, protected Se-jun so that he would not be exposed to their own murderous intent.

Press.

Theo placed one front paw on Se-jun’s leg and continuously healed Se-jun with his healing spell,

Woong.

Cuengi wrapped the area around Se-jun with telekinesis,

(……)

the Golden Bat emitted incredibly high-frequency waves inaudible to Se-jun to protect him,

“Barrier.”

and Iona blocked the murderous intent heading toward Se-jun with magic.

Thanks to this, Se-jun was in a completely peaceful state, as if wearing noise-canceling headphones, but

Tremble, tremble.

Elge Caiman, on whom the animals’ murderous intent was focused, could not even faint due to the high-performance items protecting his body, and trembled as he wet his pants.

‘Is that… the Mage of Great Destruction, Iona?!’

Elge Caiman, who belatedly discovered Iona on Theo’s tail, realized that something had gone terribly wrong.

‘Who did I touch?’

Just as Elge Caiman realized that Se-jun’s identity was out of the ordinary like that,

“Greetings, Master Se-jun!”

The Black Orc King, Urchi, approached Se-jun and greeted him politely.

“Oh. Urchi, you’re here?”

“Yes. Greetings to you too, Lord Theo.”

“That’s right, meow! Is my subordinate Urchi also doing well, meow?!”

And,

“Greetings, Master Se-jun! We have arrived as well.”

Hegel, the chieftain of the Black Wolf tribe, and Elka, the chief of the Silver Wolf tribe, also approached to greet Se-jun.

“Yeah. Hello.”

While Se-jun exchanged greetings,

Kkosit!

Ukki!

Dudu!

the Chestnut Burr Hedgehog, the Banana Monkey, and the moles, who spotted Se-jun, ran toward him.

And,

pausing for a moment,

they looked slightly surprised upon seeing Elge Caiman,

Kkosit! Ukki! Dudu!

[Great Black Dragon Se-jun, that guy snatched the tribute to be given to the Black Rabbit King!]

They grinned and whispered Elge Caiman’s misdeeds to Se-jun. Although the other party was a mere third prince of a kingdom on the 84th floor of the tower, this side was the Great Black Dragon who ruled the Black Tower.

“What?! He snatched more of the Black Rabbit’s tribute?!”

Kkosit! Ukki! Dudu!

The animals answered by nodding their heads vigorously at Se-jun’s question. This guy was truly malicious.

Dudu!

[My friend was also robbed!]

“Other friends were also robbed? Understood. Bring everyone who got robbed.”

Kkosit! Ukki! Dudu!

While the animals went to bring the additional victims who had their belongings snatched by Elge Caiman like that,

Scribble, scribble.

Se-jun began to add details to the blank contract.

***

When the heads of all nine Dragon Clans entered and took their seats in the residence of the Silver Dragon, Chrysella Heathron,

“Kaiser, tell us now. What did you eat earlier?”

Chrysella asked Kaiser on behalf of the group.

“First, if you want to hear my answer, give me all the Tower Coins you have.”

“Tower Coins?”

‘Sure, why not.’

When Kaiser asked for useless Tower Coins as the price of information, the dragons readily handed all of their Tower Coins over to Kaiser.

“You guys should give yours too.”

Kaiser reached his hand out to Kellion and Ramter.

“Cheap guy.”

“So cheap.”

Although Kellion and Ramter knew Kaiser’s underlying motive, they had no choice but to comply.

“Hehehe. Thanks.”

Thanks to that, Kaiser was able to collect slightly over 10 billion Tower Coins. Adding the money obtained by defeating Halphas earlier, it seemed it would reach 25 billion Tower Coins.

“Tell us now.”

“Understood. That is a bean obtained from the Five-Colored Beans grown by our Tower Farmer.”

“That is a bean grown by the Tower Farmer?!”

The dragons stirred at Kaiser’s words. Until now, the crops grown by the Tower Farmer were merely a small snack for the dragons and held no great significance.

At most, it was something to brag about when meeting other dragons.

But if the crops grown by the Tower Farmer could explosively increase the dragons’ abilities, the story would change completely.

Along with Kaiser’s words, the atmosphere among the dragons shifted entirely.

Six dragons who decided to have their own Tower Farmers cultivate crops that produced a similar effect to what Kaiser had eaten,

‘Our grandson Ajax is… sigh… I should quickly gather money and reserve some beans from Se-jun.’

‘With the price of alcohol and beans, I’ll have to make a lot of money.’

and two dragons who decided to simply solve it with money.

And,

‘Hehehe. With this money, I should be able to make our Se-jun a bit stronger, right?’

one dragon who had no interest in the crops and only wanted to make his Tower Farmer stronger with money.

“Then, I have things to do, so I will take my leave.”

“Keuhem. Me too.”

“I should head back as well.”

The dragons, whose minds had become urgent, hurried back to their own territories.

***

‘Just you wait, you bastards!’

Even after discovering the Mage of Great Destruction, Iona,

and Urchi, the Black Orc King who commanded 5 million troops,

and Hegel and Elka, the leaders of the Black Silver Wolf Mercenary Group, which was recently raising its fame in the tower,

even though the leaders of those two forces appeared and greeted the trivial existence in front of them first, acting like subordinates, Elge Caiman did not lose hope.

The military force aspect could be resolved since his father’s sworn brother would appear shortly.

Only one problem remained.

‘If only I can snatch that…’

Scribble, scribble.

Elge Caiman watched Se-jun writing down the blank contract, looking for an opportunity.

If he only snatched the contract stamped with his own handprint and used the Contract Cancellation Potion, he could resolve everything.

At that moment,

“Uncle Hannibal, please help me! I am Elge Caiman, the Third Prince of the Caiman Kingdom!”

Elge Caiman called out to the giant Tiger tribe member who had arrived at the wedding venue just in time.

Hannibal, the President of the Mercenary Association and the sworn brother of his father, Croco Caiman.

As the President of the Mercenary Association, he was of equal status to Iona, one of the leaders of the three major forces, and was a being who could exert a strong influence even on the Black Silver Wolf Mercenary Group, who were fellow mercenaries.

‘With this, the scales are completely balanced.’

“Oh! Is that you, Elge?! But what’s with the atmosphere? Don’t tell me you guys dared to touch my nephew?!”

Ssaaaa.

Hannibal, the Slaughterer of the Battlefield, raised his murderous intent at his nephew’s plea for help.

In an instant, the wedding venue grew cold again.

“Kyu-kyu-kyu-kyu-Hannibal, your nephew crossed the line first!”

“That’s right! Let’s talk first!”

“Association President, you are making a mistake!”

Iona, Hegel, and Elka tried to persuade Hannibal.

“Keuhem. If you guys say so, I’ll listen first…”

Seeing Iona’s Level 4 Kyu of Anger status for the first time, Hannibal immediately softened his momentum.

And since Hegel and Elka were not fellows who would do bad deeds, he decided to talk first.

Just as Hannibal tried to resolve it through conversation like that,

Kwalkwalkwal.

Elge Caiman, who had been watching for an opportunity, used a teleportation item to move next to Se-jun and poured the Contract Cancellation Potion onto the contract.

The Contract Cancellation Potion’s probability of success decreases the higher the status of the contract supervisor and the longer the contract duration.

However, the opponent’s status was so low that he felt it was trivial, and the duration of the contract was also short since it had just been made.

The contract cancellation probability was 100%.

However,

Kwalkwalkwal.

the contents of the contract were not erased.

“Huh?! This can’t be?”

Elge Caiman was flustered.

“What? Why are there two names?”

First Party: Aileen Pritani, Park Se-jun

Second Party: Elge Caiman

He belatedly discovered that there was one more name in the First Party section of the contract.

Theo, who had been tricked once by the Great Merchant Mimir. Sister Aileen, please sign this, meow! Theo had obtained Aileen’s seal before handing the contract to Se-jun.

With Aileen’s supreme status, the probability of the contract being canceled was nearly 0%.

“Puhuhut. I, Vice President Theo, do not make the same mistake twice, meow!”

Theo placed his front paws on his waist and laughed triumphantly.
