Chapter 104. Debt, Debt, Debt (7)
The eyes of the elders were full of anger. If anyone offended him even a little bit, he was ready to tear them apart from limb to limb.
Of course, it wasn’t Jin who dared to cut off the elders and say that he would say something, but his anger toward Ziple.
Most of the elders dislike Jin, or even if they remain neutral, they consider Jin unlikable to some extent.
They are warriors who have dedicated their lives to Runkandel.
The elders are full of hatred and hatred for Ziple more than anyone else, regardless of who comes from a pure-blooded lower family.
After decades of fighting Zipple, I had no choice but to do so.
Most of the elders had memories of losing family members or fellow lovers to Zipple.
“Tell me the 12 horsemen!”
Jorden shouted with bloodshot eyes.
“First of all, I would like to apologize for the unfortunate situation that has happened because of me.”
“Cut out unnecessary noise and talk about the main topic!”
“Retaliation must stop.”
At those words, the elders widened their eyes. The other jockeys in the conference room also looked at Jin in awe.
“what!? Horseman 12 What are you talking about…!”
Jorden strode toward Jin. He was literally nose-to-toe close, glaring at Jin in an intimidating way. The other elders also doubted my ears, and the atmosphere was no different.
“Are you aware of what you are talking about?”
“Yes that’s right.”
“A responsible and reasonable story should come out. Otherwise, I will cut off your arm right here.”
“There seem to be a lot of people aiming for my arm. But no one really took it. Thankfully.”
“Don’t be sarcastic! Do you really think you are right in this atmosphere?”
“If you had listened to me to the end, the elder would have said it was right. When I said not to retaliate, it was a story of physical retaliation.”
“Physical retaliation? In other words, do you mean we shouldn’t attack Ziple’s production of magic products?”
“That’s right.”
When Jin answered without batting an eye, sighs flowed from everywhere.
How could you become a jockey and make such absurd remarks? The elders who click their tongue.
Looking at them, Jin was thinking to himself.
‘Is my head not working well or is it a bit blurry as I get older? To use this good opportunity to start a fight that can’t even be won.’
It wasn’t just the elders who were amazed. Jin was also not surprised. their simple plans.
“Why… tell me! Why do you think so?”
“Isn’t it obvious? What if you tamper with their magic production plant and an all-out war breaks out? Can you win?”
“What!”
“It is a realistic story. Can we beat Zipple? Can we fight right now and crush them and make the whole world ours?”
A moment of silence passed.
It was a question everyone knew the answer to but no one could answer.
“The family head and the strongest rider are absent, as are the previous generations of black knights and some of them. In this situation, it is much more likely that we will see blood if we start a war with Zipple.”
It was the same even if the strongest swords of Runkandel, who left for the Black Sea, were defending their original positions.
Runcandel can’t beat Zipple.
At least for now it was. There was only one reason why Shiron Runkandel didn’t engage in an all-out war with Ziffle even though he told his youngest son, ‘I don’t have much time’, even after he climbed the window.
So it was not the time to be so angry and talk about things that could not or should not be done.
‘There is a reason why my father has been quiet all this time. Yes, Jorden and the elders probably don’t know that. It’s just that it’s hard to control his anger.’
just like kids He wants to fuck his opponent somehow, but he doesn’t have the strength.
That’s why he’s spewing out anger that has no way to go.
I had to grow up and soothe him and lead him in a better direction.
“Tackling the enemy’s most important facilities in such a situation is a shortcut to defeat. Besides, we haven’t actually suffered a single damage, have we?”
“I never said there was no damage, so how did you know?”
“On the way, I received a report from my butler. I’ve heard that the 4th and 7th riders killed them and we suffered only minor injuries. Besides, an elder just said that an ordinary person could get hurt if he didn’t. Doesn’t that mean that there were no casualties?”
Jorden was speechless. He too knew that Jin was right, but he didn’t want to hear anything this nasty guy had to say.
“Thus, their attack this time should be seen as a great victory for us. We didn’t suffer any damage, but Ziffle lost some of the most elite mages that weren’t revealed to the public.”
Hard!
Jorden gnashed his teeth, ready to chew on the gin.
“So what do you mean? Are you trying to say that since we won a great victory, it doesn’t matter what happens on the surface!”
The reason Jorden was so angry was no different.
The decision to attack Zipline’s magic production facilities was to help Jin, who wanted to break his wings at any moment.
Even knowing that, he was indignant at best, but when Jin made the sound of a choke, I felt like I was going crazy.
“Besides, they are not stupid either. They don’t know that other forces are looking for opportunities with their eyes wide open to engage in an all-out war with us just because a few of those facilities are destroyed.”
“As you said, there is a slim chance that Zipple will launch an all-out war. But there is one in ten thousand, and above all. It means you don’t have to gamble too much when retaliation is much more effective.”
“A more effective retaliation?”
Jorden’s eyes narrowed.
“It turns public opinion away from Zipple.”
“under! I was talking about something, and the last thing I said was to have a public opinion war? They invaded our territory, but let’s play with the pen…!”
It was an expected reaction.
“Chief, please calm down and listen to me more. I know very well that the elder was enraged to fight for me, whom I hate to see. But I think you will understand that my story is for the best in the end.”
Jorden silently glared at Jin.
“I think you are well aware of how much influence Zipple’s magic products are having on the world. We, too, have not been able to import their magic products lately, and ordinary people are experiencing great inconvenience.”
After the Seongguk Incident, Ziple completely cut off the supply of magic products to Hufester.
Although they are importing life magic products through the black market and smuggling, the supply was incomparably in short supply.
“To hit Zipple’s production facilities in this situation means to throw away all public opinion. Of course, since when did our family start arguing about that, there is a need now. It’s because the world’s greatest villain has been shifting from Runkandel to Zippo lately.”
After the Seongguk incident, the image of Zipple was on the decline day by day. ‘Good Zipple’ is now a thing of the past.
On the other hand, Runkandel was seeing the reflection effect. Although the image of ‘Paodo’s Runkandel’ is still there, there is a perception that at least it does not use humans for experiments like Zipple or touches neutral countries such as Holy Land.
All of that, of course, was Jin’s credit.
“It’s adding flow to this trend. The good prisoners who make cosmetics Zipple, who was about to slaughter them without warning, Runcandel showed up nicely. Isn’t everything perfect?”
“Assuming you are forming public opinion, what kind of retaliation can you take on Zipline with it?”
“When good public opinion is formed in Runkandel, awareness of my cosmetics naturally increases. That will lead straight to sales, and the bigger my business grows, the more stupid Zipple will be.”
In the first place, the reason why Zipple hit small numbers was because the cosmetics business was ‘Jean Runkandel’.
It was retaliation for the fact that Zipple’s wanted man openly put his face on the Lutero Magic Federation and advertised it.
However, even though the observatory was put in, the fact that only 12 horsemen’s ‘stuff’ businesses could not be destroyed. That in and of itself was humiliating for Ziple.
“Like the 4th and 7th riders did this time. Please protect my business as of this time. And please start supporting at the family level.”
“It’s getting more and more majestic.”
“Having my family protect my business makes Runkandel a clearer picture of Zipple’s disregard for it. And in the process, there will naturally be local battles. It’s enough to kill Ziple yourself then.”
Jin smiled, and Jorden sighed as if it was absurd.
But he didn’t know that Jin’s story was right. However, it was difficult to shake off the feeling of being drawn into Jin.
“In the end, it seems that you want to call your own ship. By selling those damn cosmetics!”
“you’re right. But when my boat is full, it means that Runkandel’s boat is also full.”
Jin secretly looked at Telot.
He decided to push Jin, but for some reason he didn’t say anything yet.
‘Why is Chairman Homin standing still? If I slowly step forward, I think even the elder chairman will pretend to not win.’
But not long after.
Jin could understand why Telot was still.
“Let it be.”
A sharp yet dignified voice affirmed Jin’s opinion.
Mother of Black Panther Rosa Runkandel Jin. It was her voice. When Rosa opened her mouth, the chaotic atmosphere in the conference room instantly subsided.
“I will protect your business. As you said, I think it would be better to take more silly. Instead, after today, the family gets 20% of the profits from your business.”
Then a faint smile appeared on Telot’s lips.
-If you faithfully give 20% every month without cheating. I will help your business as much as I can. It is not impossible to get rid of the discipline that has been suspended in reservations.
The figure of 20% that Rosa said had already been decided when Jin had the first conversation with Telot.
As soon as Telot heard the sad news that the Wraiths had attacked the small beastmen, he was the first to go to Rosa and finish the story so that she offered 20% to Jin.
“In addition, I will completely remove your discipline, which is currently on hold. Keep in mind that this isn’t because you’ve been credited, it’s because things turned out that way.”
There is no favor without reason.
‘Especially if you have a relationship like my mother and I, there is absolutely no favor without reason. You’re trying to owe me something.’
Jin had an intuition that Rosa wanted something from him.
