"The contract is invalid. Handle the matter according to the original plan."
"Yes? Ah Yes, I understand, My Lord."
After Ophelia left, Isolda approached the chunk of tal that Bahamut had thrown away.
The thing shimred with a yellow light.
Isolda picked it up and examined it slowly with furrowed brows.
"Bahamut this is"
"That's exactly what you're thinking."
"Hmmphl. If this is sothing from that gold mine, it wouldn't even be worth considering the contract." Isolda chid in with a dejected tone.
Then, as if disinterested, she set the lump of tal aside and calmly asked Bahamut, "Since this happened, then that Lord's fate is obvious but what will you do about her?"
"That woman? Oh, that Sister Linda No are you referring to the impostor Linda Halls?"
"Yes. I'm just saying this just in case, but I don't want you to be rciful to her"
"Don't worry, unlike you, that woman is a devil. She doesnt deserve rcy." Bahamut replied with deep displeasure in his voice.
In response, Isolda asked, slightly surprised, "But wouldnt it be a little wasteful? You, too, have been very rciful to in the end. If we use her well"
"Isolda, you are a thousand tis better than that woman. It's not even worth comparing." Bahamut spoke decisively with a cold tone.
"That! It's um" Isolda felt her face slightly flush red. Though she didn't quite grasp the essence of their exchange, her heart, however, fluttered with excitent.
Observing her reaction, Bahamut asked in a slightly cautious tone, "What Isolda, are you feeling sympathy for that woman?"
It was a question tinged with doubt, but Isolda quickly sorted out her emotions and replied without hesitation, "No, I agree with you. She is a monster that disgusts even . There is no room for rehabilitation"
"Yeah That's right. Shes the worst kind of human, one that deserves to experience hell"
With those words, Bahamut leaned back in his chair, briefly reflecting on the evaluation of Linda Halls in the original storyshe was considered the worst, a human with no potential for redemption, one of the villainess who must be eliminated at all costs.
There was a clear reason why Bahamut, and even Isolda, accepted this evaluation.
Isolda, despite being a formidable villainess, lacked one trait that Linda possessed hypocrisy.
Hypocrisy was a trait more insidious than anything. It was worse than monsters like Isolda.
Monsters were often unaware of the suffering of others, and used them without hesitation, however, they never bothered to hide it.
But hypocrites were acutely aware of the pain they inflicted on others, and they used them to mock and exploit their victims. They relished in the misery of others, laughing at the painful deaths of countless people right before their eyes.
That was why Bahamut considered Linda the worst. That was why he had resolved not to show her any rcy when he accepted the job.
The gold mine had been a temporary distraction, but now it was aningless, and there was no reason to hold back any longer.
A person with no hope of redemption should be made to taste hell. Talk of their rights? Nonsense! Let's focus on the human rights of their victims. Bahamut thought to himself.
Hundreds of people had already suffered and perished at the hands of Linda.
They were stripped of everything and thrown into the depths of mines, unaware that they were being used.
Bahamut didn't consider himself a saint, but he believed in upholding the basic duties of humanity.
Those who crossed that line, like Linda, were beyond human and deserved no rcy.
"Otherwise only the innocent will suffer just as I did"
As he reaffird his convictions, Bahamut devised the most ruthless plan he could think of and prepared to put it into action.
