Faith Life of a Former Scammer
Chapter 103
103. I am your master.
Let’s think about it.
How did the swordsman meet the priest of disease?
‘I can never do this in the original style of the Darkness.’
Darkness uses a method that makes it look like fate.
When trials arise, arrange them naturally so that what you need is nearby.
‘This is an exception.’
This case is a bit different.
If those who were hiding on the continent were found just in time, this kind of deal could not be structured.
‘I’d rather have him locked up in the basement and used as a slave.’
If that were the case, there would be no way the swordsman would use such a complicated method.
‘So I have to think differently.’
The priest of disease, not the swordsmith, proposed a deal.
‘That’s an offer I can’t refuse.’
A deal that will solve everything if you guarantee confidentiality.
The reason this is important is simple.
‘If I had gathered the workers from the side of the sword, I would have killed them all.’
The sword family doesn’t have to keep them alive. It is natural to kill for the sake of secrecy.
In this case, you can’t find it by looking for it.
‘But, if it were the children prepared by the priests of disease, I wouldn’t have killed them.’
Conversely, there is no reason for the Priests of Disease to kill them.
‘Even if it were me, I wouldn’t have killed him. I would have used it forever. As a useful tool.’
A tool optimized for fabrication and distortion.
‘I would rather have raised it. So that they can take root and live on the continent.’
They were raised that way, so of course they would continue to use them.
‘It means there is still a point of contact.’
It’s a pretty decent target for a start tracking the darkness.
‘Well, it’s not always necessary to find the black curtain.’
darkness? good to find
It would be easier if there was no one hiding and chatting.
‘But let’s be at ease. Chasing after the darkness is stupid. What does that mean?’
Leon’s goal is to keep the world from perishing until he dies.
Why are you still looking for this guy?
‘It smells delicious.’
It smelled sweet and delicious.
A secret is meaningless if you know it.
‘The secret is to use it.’
And there was another reason too.
‘Well. To be honest, it’s a lot of fun to eat black shit.’
It’s really fun to interfere with what the dark guy has prepared.
After all, people have to make a living while doing fun things.
‘There’s no problem finding it.’
It seems like there are no clues, but this was enough.
‘Because I know the starting point where the power started to grow.’
Right after the Swordsman became the Inspection Department, they only find out the power that has grown.
‘Besides, if you consider fabrication and distortion, which are their specialties, the range narrows even more.’
It didn’t take long to find the target.
“Leon. I found it.”
“You worked hard. Grandma.”
Now that you have found your target.
“What do you plan to do?”
“I have to prepare an interesting story. A story to swallow them whole.”
“Oh my goodness. Will it be fun?”
After preparing a story.
“This should be real art.”
“haha! Don’t worry. I am the artist! artist!”
I even prepared the last props.
“I hate fakes like this. The guys who eat the world with writing and documents! I will show these fakes the power of the real thing.”
“Can I look forward to it?”
“I will make you real.”
target. story. prop.
Everything we needed was prepared one by one.
* * *
Among the places that make newsletters, there is a place called ‘Continental Jeongronji’.
It’s just a small newsletter that doesn’t even publish in multiple cities, but this place was special.
“The Continental Theory’s gaze is sharp! He has an eye that sees through reality!”
“When everyone delivers exciting news, they deliver important news for the continent.”
“The number of copies sold is not important to them. It is more important to inform the continent of the facts.”
“If someone asks about the problem of the continent, turn your head and look at the Continental Theory.”
Continental theory famous for delivering facts without bending. This place was not shaken by the numerous thanks of the empire and the checks of the nobles.
Rather, such checks proved their purity.
[Continental Theory is operated with your support.]
A newsletter operated with the support of intellectuals and residents, not the support of nobles or the upper class.
An uninvited guest came to such a continent.
“Who, who are you?”
“The successor of Killika. It is Oren.”
At the mention of Killika’s successor, the receptionist’s eyes trembled mercilessly.
“Are you here because of the newsletter protest?”
However, contrary to his fear, he seemed used to it, as if this happened often.
“I didn’t come here to do such trivial things.”
“Yes? Isn’t it?”
If you said no, why didn’t you expect it? The receptionist was startled.
“I came to see the boss.”
“Yes? Are you talking about our boss?”
“Listen and don’t ask again.”
Oren’s brow was furrowed.
“Hey, hee! yes!”
“Tell me. Killika came to collect the debt. This is what the ruler of Killika has ordered.”
I didn’t ask this time.
The receptionist’s face just went blank.
“Wait, could you wait a moment?”
“Give me five minutes.”
“Enough!”
As soon as he answered, he ran inside.
It didn’t end there. People who were watching this situation also slipped away like the ebb tide.
‘nice. Look at Killika’s notoriety.’
Killika collects the debt no matter what.
never owe them
It is a famous proverb spread across the continent.
‘Now it’s my turn to appear as the main character.’
Oren sat down in a chair and waited for the boss.
After a while, the man who seemed to be the president and the receptionist walked out slowly.
‘Pretending to be strong.’
Looking at the disheveled clothes and the sweat on his forehead, it seemed that he had been running in a hurry and then walked right in front of him.
“Here you are.”
“I heard you were looking for me.”
The boss was managing his expression in his own way, but he couldn’t hide everything.
It seemed that he was nervous.
“First, let me tell you this. What we are doing now is the public execution of Killika, not private sanctions.”
“Do you mean enforcement under Imperial law?”
“Yes.”
Public enforcement under Imperial law.
His expression hardened even more.
“… … Is it my debt?”
“not. It is a debt owed by your ancestors. However, this content requires secrecy, so I will give you a chance to bite someone.”
The boss replied as if he was okay.
“it’s okay. This guy is my son.”
“Then it doesn’t matter. start.”
With the word “start”, agents came out of Oren’s shadow.
“One of your ancestors must be called ‘Brina.’”
“That’s right. He is the one who laid the foundation for Continental Theory.”
Bryna. Founder of Continental Theory.
If you were famous, you were a famous person.
“You know he’s from Killika, right?”
“Yes. The place where you were born was Killika.”
“Then the conversation will be fast. He bought the plan from Killika.”
plan purchase.
This product was traded in the shadows when Killika was outlawed.
It could be a criminal scheme or a fraudulent scheme.
“He purchased the plan with the proceeds of the successful plan as collateral. Show me the contract.”
At Oren’s words, the agent handed him a piece of paper.
“This is a document found during large-scale construction in Killika.”
A contract covered in blood and dust.
It was a contract that showed signs of age at a glance.
“If you do not pay within the specified period of the contract, compound interest will be charged at 2% per day based on 500 gold.”
“What nonsense!”
Oren’s eyes shone eerily.
“If you were going to kill me, you should have dealt with it. Judging from where you found the papers, it appears that you ate them whole before you died.”
“What nonsense! How can documents that were inside a human body be preserved!”
That was right. If it had been in the human stomach for hundreds of years, it should have rotted away long ago.
“Look behind you. Killika’s contract is a strict law.”
The boss hastily overturned the contract. There was an old magic circle drawn there that can’t be found now.
“Seeing how you make excuses, you don’t have to explain how huge the interest will be.”
“This is nonsense! Not even the Empire can pay this amount!”
That was right.
Hundreds of years at 2 percent compounding per day. I had no idea how much it would cost.
“And, is there any guarantee that this is real in the first place?”
I wasn’t even annoyed.
It was just a pitiful struggle.
“Show me the proof.”
“Yes. young master.”
The agents took out several documents and began to show them.
“I compared the signatures of your ancestors and confirmed the magic circle. Besides, I checked the age of the documents with magic.”
All the evidence pointed to the truth.
“If you want to be publicly identified as authentic, that is fine.”
“Are you giving us a chance to investigate as well?”
“okay. But, you have a completely wrong idea of what the problem is.”
“… … What do you mean?”
This stupid man had the wrong focus.
“Large debt is not the problem. It matters what your ancestors bought.”
“… … I heard it was a time of turmoil. I believe He did what was necessary.”
Leon shook his head.
“Take care so that there are no ears to hear.”
“Yes. Heir.”
At Leon’s words, the guys disappeared into the shadows.
“Your ancestors were great people.”
“… … What does it mean?”
“The plan was purchased for the swordsmith.”
“… … .”
Only then did the president realize the seriousness of the situation. I found something I shouldn’t have looked for in Killika.
“If you reveal it, I have no choice but to take out the cover.”
“Are you sure it’s not a bluff?”
“I’ll give you a taste.”
Oren took out a document from his chest and handed it to him.
“Fabrication and distortion. This is what you do when you hide a secret.”
The Swordsman’s Secret.
This was a serious problem.
“Your ancestors were great people. Even though it was related to the secret of the sword family, it survived.”
There was one more interesting point.
“Looking at your reactions, I guess I knew something about it. It seems he didn’t know that it was a sword.”
He said he hid it in his own way, but it was revealed in his expression.
“Kilica will collect the debt no matter what. From now on, the owner of Continental Theory is Killika.”
The boss objected to Oren’s words.
“You mean our newsletter is subject to your censorship!? Even if we die, we will not bend the pen!”
It looked like a real journalist, but that is an illusion and a lie.
Oren’s expression became expressionless, and red rage erupted around him.
bang!
When Oren waved his hand, the table shattered into pieces.
“Don’t be hypocritical. disgusting things March 12th. May 27th. July 3rd. Say that you are sincere.”
“That, that… … .”
It was the information I got while looking for these guys. They were already under someone’s control.
“You’ve already been censored by someone, and you pretend to be virtuous in front of me? You fake bastards get drunk on their honour, you know they’re real. You are swindlers and demagogues.”
Ouren’s fury seemed to consume them.
Their faces were white, and they couldn’t even breathe in fear.
“Your master has changed today.”
With those words, the anger vanished like a lie.
“When your old master comes to visit you, you may ask him to come find me, Oren. It is generosity as an owner.”
“… … you will die.”
“Then it will be to your advantage.”
With those words, Oren stood up from his seat.
“Wait with anticipation.”
Leaving those words behind, Oren left the building.
‘nice. The finish is good!’
The story Leon had prepared was just the beginning.
The title of this story is ‘Oren the Traitor’.
