Chapter 555. Who are you allowed to do business with?
⑶
At the branch manager’s office of Arnil Firm, Elium, who had arrived first and was waiting for me, explained the situation.
From what I’ve heard, it seems that the branch manager here is taking a break after seeing that.
“It’s just like the report. Why don’t you suddenly advance and openly open up a store like that and do business with it?”
“Suddenly… … The branch manager here must have been quite surprised.”
“I was surprised at how emaciated the branch manager was.”
From what I heard, the branch manager here was crying.
It must have been that he knew Elliom even before he joined Arnil Firm, but he seems to have been quite open about it, so he seems to have heard a lot about it.
It’s not his fault, but he seems to have noticed quite a bit as a result.
How pitiful and pitiful it is.
“Anyway, they have no morals whatsoever.”
“… … huh? Is that what we’re talking about?”
“???? OMG.”
Eliam was silent.
I said it myself, but there must be a corner that is stabbed.
Isn’t that what we used to do not too long ago?
It’s like being hit by a boomerang.
Still, being shameless is the way of a true merchant.
Elium pricked up his ears and put the iron plate on his face again.
“ah… … Anyway, don’t bother.”
“I understand. Originally, it’s a shame when others do it, but it’s a good thing when we do it.”
yes yes Naero Nambul.
We must be the incarnation of Nambul.
… … However, during the conversation, I suddenly realized that Elrium’s attitude was a little questionable.
Even so, isn’t it strange that you show baseless hostility to the other side like this?
“You know what, Elliot. Is there anything else in the company over there?”
“Oh, come to think of it, I haven’t told Arel yet. this… … I just found out this morning.”
Elliom had been here the day before my arrival and was looking into the situation as a representative.
It wasn’t me who did it, it came voluntarily.
‘So what happened?’
I averted my gaze.
There, Keigin, sitting on the floor with thick knees as if standing upright, is avoiding our attention.
By the way, the reason he’s doing that is because of Elrium.
It seems that Elliom, who was the culprit of the ordeal at the time, ordered such mischievous pranks from time to time, as if his anger at the Budell Company was still unresolved.
He was kneeling on the floor like this the whole time we were talking.
yes it is good Pamper yourself some more!
Apart from that, I asked Keigin with a wink.
(What’s going on? What’s wrong with him?)
(Anyway, from her point of view, it’s disgusting.)
It seems that it’s something that makes Keigin uncomfortable.
The expression on his face was as if he’d just stuffed a bunch of bitter herbs into it.
It was as if she wanted to hear what had happened.
“So what?”
“actually… … A little troublesome child has arrived.”
“What are you talking about?”
What I heard from her was that I was a little ‘Oh?’ It was something that shouldn’t have been embarrassing.
“He’s back again!”
* * *
The branch manager’s office of Delt Firm.
There, a middle-aged man was sitting on a chair with an arrogant smile, staring at the branch of Arnil Firm outside the window.
“under! They look good, like the guys from Arnil Firm!”
The man’s name is Cherpal Bellburum.
He used to be the head of the Budell Company, but now, due to various things, he is sitting here as the branch manager of the Delt Company.
I still shudder when I think of what happened back then.
“Yeah these guys… …
The reason why he has no choice but to be here now.
It was all because it was entangled with that Arnil firm.
When he was the head of the Budell Company, he had no choice but to fall after being criticized by Arele Ernesia for his infidelity.
In addition, he also managed to escape after being arrested, but he was chased and had nowhere to set foot.
It could also be said to be the pinnacle of downfall.
He understands with his head.
that everything is self-inflicted.
It wasn’t that he was accused of a crime he wasn’t guilty of, and it was also true that he used smuggling or dangerous merchants.
However, human beings are inherently creatures that cannot understand even if they provided the reason for being beaten.
“Eliam… … Cagin… …
He especially gnashed his teeth as he recited the names of the two.
It was Elrium who provided the reason why Budell and Arnil were chosen in the first place.
And after that I found out.
It was Keigin who ordered everything.
It was because he knew that if the Arnil Company hadn’t intervened, Keigin would have run away after taking everything.
Doesn’t it mean that he doesn’t have anger at Arel for using all of this?
He did not ignite the flames of resentment that far.
No matter how much I resent him, I won’t be able to overcome him.
Even if you have a grudge, you have it to the extent possible.
That much reason remained.
That’s why I can stay here again.
‘… … I was lucky though. I never thought they would reach out on the spot.’ Originally, after losing everything and falling, he would have been doomed to know what would happen.
However, it was Lee Sang-hoi that saved him.
To be precise, Duke Hummel of the Kingdom of Felsen.
For some reason, Duke Hummel had saved himself through various negotiations.
I couldn’t understand it at first.
But Duke Hummel told him this.
‘I want to entrust one branch to the Ernesia Kingdom. However, it should be someone who will not betray us. That wouldn’t happen to you.’
It is a word with multiple meanings.
He was driven as he was driven, had at least experience in charge of the business, and most of all, had a crush on Arnil, the enemy of this place.
Anyway, it’s not a place to hide.
Cherpal accepted Duke Hummel’s offer.
And now, like this, I am sitting in the branch manager’s seat.
Of course, it felt ironic.
Is this really a downfall? Or is it a success?
In fact, it is simply counted by the number of gold coins.
The size of the meeting is different.
but… … As long as all these causes are failures, there can be no joy.
“Wait and see. Above Arnil… …
However, he does not plan a full-fledged revenge.
Just avoiding the downfall makes me feel good.
Having a grudge and having the guts to carry it out are one thing.
And no man with his head on top of his neck would dream of such foolish things.
Cherpal has no intention of doing anything in particular.
Just as the upper line commanded, the shop was expanded here to publicize the wealth and influence of the store here.
It’s an honorable business by any means.
However, as a result, if you can inflict a big blow on Arnil’s shop, that’s what you want.
If you give them even the slightest amount of humiliation, that alone will make them full.
Still, I can’t forgive Keigin.
“Wait and see! I will be the last to laugh here!”
He set a truly timid goal and smiled triumphantly.
“He must be looking forward to it a lot, like Cherpal Bellevue, by now.”
Elliot shook his head in disgust.
It’s like looking at water stains that don’t fall out.
What people in your industry will love?
“ah… … did that happen?
Rather, was that child still alive?”
It’s no surprise that Cherpal Bellevuerum is still alive.
I didn’t think he was dead because I didn’t mean to kill him.
But I never thought I would return as the branch manager of Delt Firm.
Rather, why did you come back?
“ah… … Come to think of it, I think I heard from a previous report that he negotiated with someone to defect after he escaped from prison.”
It’s something I buried in my memory because I wasn’t free enough to care about the current situation of each and every one of those miscellaneous jobs.
At the time, I didn’t doubt the Kingdom of Felsen, so it seemed like I just passed it on after hearing it.
“Really, hiring someone like that again. It is worth knowing the level of Delt Corporation.”
“hmm… … Before that, was he really talented enough to save me like this?”
From what I’ve seen, I don’t think your ability as a merchant was that great?
When I ask Keigin, who used him, with a wink, he averts his eyes.
It means incompetent.
It was because he was incompetent and had a personality that could cause an accident someday, so Keigin tried to use it and throw it away.
What’s the point of taking that shit back?
‘… … Did they drag it in to use it and throw it away?’
It was roughly imagined.
There will be enough grudges, so if you put me in a position like this, I will work hard in my own way.
If it goes well, it’s good, and if it doesn’t, it’s a word that can be discarded without regret.
Thanks to that, it seemed that Elium’s stress gauge suddenly soared.
“under… … I thought I wouldn’t see that guy’s face anymore… …
And Keigin is suffering from that stress relief.
Yeah that’s a great cycle.
So, Kagin, don’t look at me asking me to mediate.
Aren’t you self-employed?
“Then you don’t know what he’s going to do to get his grudge?”
I thought lightly of the 101 foolish things that humans who are blinded by resentment would do and doubted.
Wouldn’t it be better to at least be careful not to get hit in the back of the head on the road?
Not me, but these guys.
“No, that won’t happen.”
However, that concern was denied by Cagin himself.
“I know his incompetent character.”
“Yeah, you know because you used it.”
“… … Anyway, he doesn’t have that guts. At best, it’s to the extent of being absorbed in your duties as a branch manager.”
“ah… … Is it that way?”
Even though he is timid, he distinguishes between public and life.
“At least they won’t have the guts to attack by means other than trading, unless they are heavily driven.”
“… … At least.”
The reason he’s not sure is probably because humans don’t know what to do when cornered.
It doesn’t matter if the little guy jumps at me.
On the contrary, I feel more comfortable with an over-the-counter brawl.
Just because it’s an excuse to smash it.
But that’s not going to happen.
“Anyway, he must be eager to get his share of this place with all his might.”
Since he had enough motivation and gained a hundred degrees, at least it means that he is trying to do his best under fair rules.
“indeed… … The shop was built with the sole intention of really wanting to succeed again.”
“Since it will be profitable, it seems that the main branch of Delt Trading Co. is also supporting it.”
“Hold on to worry.”
Elliot pricks up his ears and makes up his mind.
“I will never give them the commercial rights here. No, I have no intention of losing to that damn bastard.”
“… … No, there is no point in trying to make up your mind to make a life-and-death decision there.”
It’s not like we’re going to go bankrupt just by giving away one commercial district here… … .
It’s difficult even if it burns as if it’s going to be some kind of final battle.
It’s annoying for me to follow.
The reason I came here today is to have a look around.
To put it mildly, I’m trying to keep an eye on them so they don’t make mistakes.
“so? What are you going to do?”
“First of all, I discussed it with Keigin.”
Aside from the resentment, Keigin’s ability was evaluated as excellent, so it seemed that Elium meekly discussed countermeasures with him as well.
However, since the expression is not bright, it seems that there is no plausible solution.
“The problem is what this guy came up with… …
“What did you give out?”
“Or intervene in the purchase route and interfere with it. Or an accident of injustice. I suggested something like that.”
Cagin said the methods casually.
I can understand why Elliom frowns.
