Two n were visiting a general store magic tool, the 《Fairy's Wings》.
「Yoo~… My apologies dear guess. The store is already closed today. Please co a—」
l who acts as a shopkeeper, is about to go out to tell the guest and pauses when seeing the identity of the guest.
「W—Wontz-san.」
「It's been a few days right, l-san? Your store seems to be flourishing.」
The one who ca to the store was the duo of Wontz and his bodyguard, Jude.
Though Wontz's deanor was as gentle as before, after a previous visit to l's store, he didn't bother to hide his malicious intent from l anymore.
l chewed her lip as she looked up to Wontz's face.
「Don't glare at like that. You've been quite emotional since the first ti I t you. I underestimated you and yet, I had never expected that you can reach this far. Though I did my fair share of provocation, I take back those words. You win this round.」
Wontz heaved an exhausted sigh.
For Wontz, he had to prioritize Greed's order to crush the 《Fairy's Wings》.
But, even if he tried to crush the store by limiting their privilege, the store had already beco too famous since the rumors such as 『The 《Fairy's Wings》 made a novel item based on the idea of the otherworlder』.
He couldn't do anything with his authority when there was such a gathering right in the center of the city.
In the first place, the current 《Fairy's Wings》 had the huge prospect of profit, throwing around his weight by threatening the company like what he did before would only et with a counterattack.
And since he had already used that thod before, l learned from her mistake and the docunt that she submitted this ti left no opening to be exploited, aning that crushing her shop with a barely legal thod was impossible.
Currently, Wontz only has limited thods to dabble with the 《Fairy's Wings》.
Though he had a long-term plan to crush her, Greed had imposed a ti limit on him.
In the first place, at this rate, the 《Fairy's Wings》 might gain investors or supporters from Polorock.
Thus, Wontz was pretty much aware that he couldn't move to carelessly in this situation if he didn't want this case to beco his stumbling block later.
「M-My victory… Does that an you won't dabble with 《Fairy's Wings》 again?」
「Jude, the docunt.」
Wontz called out to his escort without even bothering to answering to l's question.
Jude nodded, taking out a bundle of docunts from the bag that Wontz entrusted to him and handed it over to its' owner.
Wontz looked at l after glancing at the docunt.
「Is… that…?」
「A lot of money. Now get out of this city of Polorock… Don't co to this city again, ever. This Poloroc is a comrcial city built based on the most efficient economy-based calculation. We cannot allow impurity that beco the center of one of the comrcial zones.」
l received the docunt timidly and scanned its' content.
「in short… You picked a fight while pretending it isn't about money in order for to not beco your stumbling block, is it?」
l's remark hit the bull's eyes.
She was fed up with Wontz's egoism alas, she felt scared of what he might do if she refused this offer.
「Yes. Since the ga didn't turn up as I expected, I decided to flip the board with money. If you refuse this… You might be swallowed by the darkness of Polorock.」
From Wontz's perspective, he didn't want to continue his conflict with l the mont Greed took an interest in this regard.
As a citizen of this city, he knew that Greed's word was the absolute law in this city.
So he decided to kick her out of this city with money and told Greed that he had threatened her.
l didn't say anything, she just staring at the docunt in her hand.
The matter about Wontz.
She had to make sure that there was no trap in this docunt before she made the decision.
Wontz frowned upon looking at l's attitude.
「It seems you have no idea about your current situation. I'm telling you that if you decide to reject this offer, it ans that we'll be at each other throats. You'll give no choice if you refuse this offe—!」
The door of the store suddenly opened up and Rosemonde's face peeked out from inside.
「Here I am wondering what takes her so long, so it's you again huh?」
Rosemonde walked up to l, took the docunts from the latter's hands, and tore them to pieces without a shred of hesitation.
Wontz's eyebrows puckered upon seeing that.
「Y-You… Do you understand your current situation!? Opposing is the sa as trying to oppose Greed-sama himself!」
「Who cares, not that I read the content either. Not that we will trust a swindler like you in the first place.」
「EVERYTHING WENT DOWN TO DRAIN COZ OF AN IDIOT LIKE YOU! I'M EVEN WILLING TO PAY TWICE OR THRICE OF THE SUM OF THE MONEY! YET YOU TORE IT UP WITHOUT EVEN AS MUCH AS TALKING ABOUT IT! I'M TELLING YOU, IT'LL ONLY RESULT IN MUTUAL DESTRUCTION!」
「Coz I don't think that listening to a swindler like you is worth my ti. I've learned a bit but, if you swindled us again, we have no way to judge you. That's why you shouldn't be trusted to begin with. The idiot one here is YOU.」
Then, Rosemonde looked at l.
「l, forget about everything that he said to you before, it's not worth your ti. This ba*stard seems to have been probing around your store for the last few days using his subordinate. He might be concocting so kind of plan to crush you.」
「THINGS WON'T END WITH JUST A "SORRY" IF YOU MAKE GO ALL OUT! THIS IS WHY AMATEUR OF TRADE IS SO IRKSO! IF YOU'RE UNWILLING TO STEP DOWN, BOTH PARTIES ARE GOING TO BE DESTROYEd!」
「Oh shut up. The one who makes a mistake here is you, you shouldn't make a mistake with soone's real value to begin with and negotiate fairly instead of selling the trust placed on you at a bargain price.」
「Gah…」
Wontz's face flushed red as he was completely beaten black and blue in the argunts against Rosemonde.
This ti, Wontz had no intention of ensnaring l into another one of his traps.
Ending this incident as soon as possible while the damage was still minimal was far more important than money for the current him.
Alas, that was even more reason to trust Wontz, who was in a far more advantageous position to co up with a fair negotiation.
「Enough of your nonsense, brute woman… He's not talking to you!」
Judo moved forward to grab Rosemonde.
He had no intention to use this thod but, now he had no choice but to use threat against Rosemonde.
As long as Rosemonde was here, even the most coherent conversation would beco incoherent.
Rosemonde readily dodged the approaching hand and pushed Judo's solar plexus.
「Urgh…」
Judo staggered back due to that push, crashing onto Wontz behind him and rolling on the ground along with the latter.
Wontz himself ended up being squashed under Judo.
「GAH! GET UP JUDO! YOU'RE HEAVY!」
「M-My apologies Judo-sama!」
Judo stood up in a hurry while propping Wontz with his shoulder.
「Don't try to ss with , I'm an A-Rank adventurer. Do you think a bodyguard of swindlers like you can do a shi*t against ?」
said Rosemonde with a scornful look toward Wontz.
Wontz glared at Rosemonde for a while, alas, he then heaved a sigh, and his furrowed eyebrows were also loosened.
「Negotiation breakdown I guess. aning that I don't have to worry about proper thods anymore… It's too late for you to regret it now.」
Wontz walks away from the 《Fairy's Wings》 while being propper by Judo's shoulder after saying those words.
◆
After they put so distance from the 《Fairy's Wings》, Wontz and Judo were having a conversation about what they were going to do later.
「What shall we do after this… Wontz-sama? We have no way le—」
「Since it can't be helped, I'll do as I say… Screw the rule, I'm going to crush them with everything I got. I didn't want to do this but… Maybe I should ask for Isabella's help.」
「I-Sabella-sama…」
Isabella was a big shot of Greed company just like Wontz.
Their relationship was that of a rival.
She excelled in reading the flow of the business and manipulating the market.
She was also known as 《Script Writer》 due to the fact that she could lead the conversation in the direction that she wanted to.
「Though I don't want to rely on her, I've no choice either. Now I'm going to mobilize the cri organization in the Dark Ward, the 《Bloody Gold Coin》.」
Just like Greed who had a connection with the Dark Ward, Wontz was also a frequent custor of the Dark Ward's organization whenever he needed them to do his dirty job.
「Things will go bad if we use them in this situation right? I an, if sothing happened to that store at this kind of ti, everyone would be suspicious of us right?」
「We're not going to attack them in broad daylight of course. I've already found the weak point of the 《Fairy's Wings》. I've already considered the option of when they refused my proposal.」
Wontz's face revealed a sinister smile.
「… So?」
「We'll crush the otherworlder who cooperates with that woman. We will kidnap that little girl called Philia. We will mobilize the 《Bloody Gold Coin》 to kidnap the kid and use her to threaten them. This kind of job is their forte and it won't be revealed to the public either.」
「I see, as expected of Wontz-sama!」
「Since it cos to this… I won't back down either. I'll show those idiots that I will have the last laugh. They'll be punished in full for underestimating . I'll let them to rot and regret in hell for rejecting my last good faith.」
Wontz laughed loudly.
