Chapter 168. Extortion rather than negotiation (7)
“I tell you, there is no point in burning the document. Because I have the original.”
And no matter what she does, it is impossible to take the original from me and destroy it.
Even with her individual strength, and with the enlisted soldiers under her command.
Would you dare inflict even the slightest wound on my side?
“ruler? What if other people find out about this?”
It was not a problem that could be solved by running away within the Ernesia Kingdom.
When these are announced, the number of fans who want to meet her will increase exponentially.
Not to mention nobles and politicians who were in trouble because they took bribes.
Even the people of the royal family who were in trouble because she supplied weapons to the rebels.
Everyone, young and old, would be eager to meet her.
It is truly the birth of a world star.
Look at that.
I’m so happy I can’t speak.
“so? What do you want?”
“Ah, Arell-sama… I wonder if I’m being too hasty…
But, trying hard not to lose my composure until the very end, Senil spoke slowly.
However, you probably understand better than anyone else that whatever you say here is meaningless.
“You will still need me to resolve the misunderstanding with Seongguk!”
“Why should I release it?”
What does he not know yet?
Misunderstandings do not clear up.
“Relax. Because you already have a hand in it.”
A misunderstanding is something you have to pay back.
“Well, you don’t seem very merciful, so you can’t save your life?”
“no way?”
As if she noticed something, she said nothing.
It is no longer possible to turn my mind back.
Senil, who was on the verge of losing his mind at the fact, kindly asked for another doctor.
“Your business and your life. Which one is more valuable?”
I didn’t even get an answer.
Senil Geothal stepped down from the position of upper house owner.
Suddenly, she announced that she would hand over her business to Arele Ernesia.
To be precise, it was to hand over all the interests of the Arnil Company to the head of the Arnil Company, Lichen.
everyone in the world will know
That all of her interests had virtually passed to Arel.
The first to be puzzled were the merchants and employees of Geotal Firm.
The fear that their workplace will disappear in an instant.
But nothing they feared happened.
Only the authority as the owner of the upper house was transferred, and the basic framework of the Geotal Sangho was maintained.
Just change the signage.
Naturally, no existing employees were fired.
So they were safe.
However, there are those who are not at ease.
There were also those who expressed their disapproval, saying that Arnil Corporation had grown too big with this incident.
However, it is the other characters who are more troubled than them.
The blade of retaliation was directed at another.
“This… This is a frame!”
Feljin, the highest priest of the holy kingdom, insisted on his innocence with a pale face.
But no one listened to his cries.
Armed knights tried to subdue him, some aiming swords and spears, others grabbing him by the shoulders and pushing him to his knees.
“Do you know who you are laying your hands on right now!”
“Who is that?”
It was someone else who answered.
The knights blocking him stepped back left and right, and a woman in a white robe stepped out from among them.
“Yes… Miss Nelvania.”
“They are always following my orders. Yes, to arrest you. So I won’t listen to you.”
“It’s unfair!”
“Hmm? Are you saying it’s unfair?”
However, the saintess’ eyes were extremely cold.
“I know what you saw. But you shouldn’t believe such accusations.”
Nevertheless, Felzin desperately cried out.
He knew at least why the saintess reacted this way to herself.
In each country… it was because of a flyer that started to circulate in the church that their influence touches.
It was a list of people Felzin had dealt with over the years.
It was, of course, the kind of deal that shouldn’t be revealed to the world.
The money he received and what he did for it were disclosed in detail.
“It is unmistakably framed.”
As soon as the leaflets began to circulate, Felzin immediately denied them.
It’s just a piece of paper anyway.
Although it may sway believers, it is not conclusive evidence.
but.
Then something happened that bothered him.
Senilge Othal, the owner of a trading company who had recently made a deal, directly admitted to the deal before stepping down from his position.
Made a deal with Arell Ernesia with the intention of touching him for an exclusive deal on cocoa beans.
It was a statement that Felzin claimed that the cocoa beans belonged to the pagans after receiving a rather heavy price from her.
Not only that, but they were also involved in smuggling.
Other items are also a problem, but in particular, the fact that drugs were brought in was a significant problem.
“Where the hell did you use these drugs..?”
The saintess muttered as if she was fed up.
It was clearly something he didn’t want to see.
When this story came out as a testimony through the mouth of the person directly involved, his position became unfavorable at once.
‘Why did she betray me!’
I can’t afford to tremble in anger.
By the time he had already noticed the fact and tried to hide, the knights who had been ordered to arrest him surrounded him.
that was a little while ago
“It is really embarrassing.
With what face will they raise their heads at Ernesia Kingdom?”
Nelvenia sighed as she checked the evidence.
“You don’t have to listen to the claims of the Ernesian Kingdom!”
Felzin insisted, wanting to hang on for the last time.
Ernesia Kingdom and Holy Kingdom are not friendly.
And it was clear that the current situation was caused by Arel in retaliation for the slander about cacao beans.
“Don’t be swayed by their arguments.”
If so, they seem to have judged that it would be better to appeal to them to protect themselves rather than the enemy’s claims.
“. Certainly, our relationship with Ernesia Kingdom is not good.”
“That’s right. so!”
“But what does that have to do with it?”
She asks as if she sincerely doesn’t understand.
At those words, Felzin couldn’t help but shut his mouth.
“On the contrary, because of your deviation, our… God’s name was disgraced. If that’s the case, then it’s something that shouldn’t be overlooked. Yes?”
These words were not addressed to Felzin.
The knights immediately began tying up the greedy priest.
“…This is nonsense….
As he was muttering devastatedly, he just happened to hear Nelvenia muttering.
“I guess I can properly clear up misunderstandings with this.”
Her eyes were extremely cold as she said that.
Only then did I realize
This woman was trying to cut herself off from the start.
And for that…..
“Could it be… Did you join hands with Arell Ernesia?”
“It is not.”
The saintess smiled and shook her head.
“It’s just a little bit of understanding to catch those who have committed the aberration.”
“Yes… four years!!”
However, there is no point in shouting out loud.
He was simply dragged away by the hands of the knights in vain.
He will probably never come back to where he is now.
While watching in real time that someone was taken down, the others kept their mouths shut as if they had discussed it in advance.
Like the lords of some territory.
Or they were politicians who were in collusion with the existing Geotal Corporation.
All of them were those who had an embarrassing position when the previous superlord disappeared.
They were also the ones who were earning quite a bit of money by sticking with Geotal Trading Company.
Since the person who shared the interest until then has disappeared, who should he cling to?
But I couldn’t protest.
Rather, it must be because they understand well that they are the ones who recklessly attack and bite their necks.

“With this, we have the desired ship and crew.”
I was satisfied with checking the rights transferred to Arnil Firm under my jurisdiction one by one.
huge overrun.
And the most important thing is to secure a means to trade with a distant continent.
It can’t be a big achievement.
Especially the ship and crew are important.
It is one of the things I need to achieve what I want in the future.
Ernesia Kingdom doesn’t have the sea, so I thought it would take a little longer to obtain trade using ships.
An unexpected opportunity came.
Even though it’s a company with a lot of trouble, it will take a lot of hard work to stabilize their frame after this.
will i do Uncle will do it
It seems that his uncle started to lose weight again because he seemed to be busy with organizing, perhaps because the number of stores he had to manage suddenly came with more than twice as many.
Well, that’s not bad for him either.
In this way, he is becoming the owner of the grand prize meeting that will go down in history.
Of course, the reactions of other merchants were also different.
On the other hand, some people are wary of Arnil Sangho, who has inflated his excessively huge body.
Others have welcomed the situation as well.
As our side absorbed the interests of Geotal Corporation, we understood what new deals would be opened.
There were quite a few people who were already looking forward to it and wanted to join us.
‘As the woman said, I’ll supply chocolate to other countries.’
I can’t start exporting right away because there are still a few problems in my opinion.
After a certain amount of maintenance, we will be able to export our chocolate to other countries in the near future.
Well, the only thing they serve is chocolate.
Of course, products using it will be monopolized in my city.
Still, that alone will undoubtedly have many benefits.
Yes, our sweet business begins now.
The pursuit of the rugged ‘path of the party’.
We’ve only just climbed that hill.
Even today, chocolate is selling like wings.
The chocolate store, which opens every morning at noon, is buzzing with customers as soon as the store opens.
There are residents living in the city, but the number of guests from outside has also increased after hearing rumors.
The clerks, who were flustered on the first day, are calmly responding to the incoming orders one by one, probably getting used to it now.
If you do business like that for about three hours, you will quickly throw away the chocolate stockpiled and have no choice but to close the store.
At least that’s why the clerks can hold on even though they’re so hectic.
My body can’t stand a war like that every day.
Fortunately, the store is only open one day every two days.
Because of the amount of chocolate.
The reason that if you’re so busy today, at least you can live safely tomorrow.
Today, as the stockpiled stocks run out, clerks are sighing and tidying up with closed signs.
“Hmm?? We need to increase the number of clerks.”
Watching their hard working environment, I put chocolate in my mouth and mumbled, thinking that I should improve to some extent.
Only then will I be able to start business in earnest after the issue of cocoa beans is resolved sooner or later.
After that, you will have to open the store almost every day.
