Sejun and Elge Kaiman were in a tense standoff.
“Kona, are you alright, Meow?” Theo asked.
“Peng… Theo, sir…” Kona replied.
Just then, Theo heard Sejun asking Elge Kaiman, “But do you even know who I am?”
Theo and Kkuengyi were holding onto Sejun’s leg. They seemed to warn Elge Kaiman not to cause trouble.
‘Chairman Park, you’re frustrating, Meow! How would that guy know Chairman Park? Puhuhut. I, Vice President Te, Chairman Park’s right-hand man, have no choice but to step in and introduce Chairman Park, Meow!’ Theo thought Sejun was genuinely asking because he expected the other party to know him.
“Puhuhut. If you ask who Chairman Park is, it’s only right to answer, Meow! You don’t seem to know Chairman Park, so I, Vice President Te, Chairman Park’s excellent right-hand man, will introduce him, Meow!” Theo eagerly stepped forward to introduce Sejun. Sejun watched with subtle anticipation, wondering what Theo would say.
“What is this muddy-colored cat?! Get lost!” Already annoyed that a pathetic guy was trying to be on par with him, Elge Kaiman shouted at Theo with a voice full of irritation when another one started bothering him.
“Haaah! Shut up, Meow!”
Whack!
How dare you call me, the golden cat Theo Park, muddy-colored, Meow?! Enraged, Theo moved quickly and slapped the face of Elge Kaiman, who called his fur muddy-colored, knocking him out.
“Chairman Park is the Chairman Park of me, the great black dragon’s subordinate, the deadly dragon claw, golden cat Theo Park, Meow!” He proudly introduced Sejun to Elge Kaiman’s guards.
Ta-da!
Theo pointed at Sejun with his two front paws. At the same time, he signaled to his siblings. “Do it together, Meow!”
Kkueng!
So, Kkuengyi with his two front paws, and the golden bat with its two wings, followed Theo and pointed at Sejun. As a result, the effect of highlighting Sejun was definitely better than before.
It was a strange way to introduce someone. Theo wasn’t saying Sejun was *his* right-hand man, but that Sejun was the *boss* of his right-hand man. This kind of introduction can only be used when the right-hand man’s reputation is high.
After hearing Theo’s words, Elge Kaiman’s guards couldn’t figure out anything about Sejun. However, they clearly heard the words ‘Golden Cat’.
Golden Cat Theo Park. He was the hottest rising star in the Black Tower these days, having solved the missing merchant route incident and saved the great merchant Yuren. But what was even more impressive was Golden Cat Theo Park’s incredible connections.
A friend of Uma King, the boss of the 99th floor of the tower. The lover of Iona, the Great Destruction Magician. The benefactor who saved the life of the great merchant Yuren. Each and every connection was amazing.
Moreover, rumors had recently spread that Mimir, one of the three beauties of the Black Tower, had offered her fur to become close to Golden Cat Theo Park.
“If Golden Cat Theo Park is that person’s right-hand man…” Elge Kaiman’s guards looked at Sejun and realized that something was terribly wrong.
Just then, Theo, who had already gotten Elge Kaiman’s handprint, brought the blank contract to Sejun. “Chairman Park, here it is, Meow!”
“Huh?! This is… Vice President Te, well done,” Sejun praised Theo after looking at the contract.
“Puhuhut. Of course, Meow! I am an excellent Vice President Te, Meow!” While Theo was happy with Sejun’s praise and buried his face in Sejun’s lap, rubbing, Sejun began to fill in the blank contract.
Scritch. Scritch.
As Sejun was writing on the blank contract that Theo had brought, Elge Kaiman woke up. It would have been better if he had stayed unconscious… Thanks to the high-performance items protecting his body.
“Do you know what you’ve done?! You dare touch the Third Prince of the Kaiman Kingdom?! Do you know?! This is war!” Elge Kaiman started shouting angrily as soon as he woke up, unaware that his slave contract was in progress.
“Your… Highness…” The guards hurriedly tried to shut Elge Kaiman’s mouth, but Elge Kaiman was already blinded by anger.
“Let go of me! I need to show these guys what’s truly scary!”
“Actually, Your Highness… maybe *we’re* the ones in trouble here.” Elge Kaiman’s guards couldn’t do anything.
However, Elge Kaiman was making the problem worse by sending murderous intent towards Sejun and the animals.
Gooo…
Exposed to Elge Kaiman’s murderous intent, Sejun swallowed involuntarily, showing discomfort. It was bearable, but he felt unpleasant.
And as Sejun showed signs of discomfort, the animals reacted sensitively to Sejun’s condition and emitted murderous intent.
“Meow?!”
Kkueng?!
(Bat?!)”
Kyu-?!
Of course, the animals, who had developed a habit of always taking care of Sejun through much learning, protected Sejun so that he would not be exposed to their murderous intent.
Press.
Theo put one paw on Sejun’s leg and continued to heal Sejun with healing magic.
Whoosh.
Kkuengyi wrapped Sejun’s surroundings with psychokinesis.
(……)
The golden bat emitted an incredibly high frequency that Sejun couldn’t hear to protect Sejun.
“Barrier.” Iona blocked the murderous intent heading towards Sejun with magic.
Thanks to this, Sejun was completely calm, as if he were wearing headphones with a noise-canceling function, but Elge Kaiman, who was the focus of the animals’ murderous intent, couldn’t even faint because of the high-performance items protecting his body, and he trembled and wet his pants.
‘That’s… Iona, the Great Destruction Magician?!’ Elge Kaiman belatedly discovered Iona on Theo’s tail. He realized that something was terribly wrong. ‘Who did I mess with?’
Just as Elge Kaiman realized that Sejun’s identity was no ordinary one, Urchi, the king of the Black Oaks, approached Sejun and greeted him politely. “Sejun, sir, greetings!”
“Oh. Urchi, you’re here?”
“Yes. Theo, sir, greetings as well.”
“That’s right, Meow! Is my subordinate Urchi doing well, Meow?!”
Hegel, the chief of the Black Wolf tribe, and Elka, the chief of the Silver Wolf tribe, also approached to greet Sejun. “Sejun, sir, greetings! We’ve arrived too.”
“Oh. Hello,” Sejun replied.
While Sejun was exchanging greetings, the chestnut hedgehog, banana monkey, and mole, who had discovered Sejun, ran towards him.
Dash! Ooh-ki! Doo-doo!
They were briefly surprised to see Elge Kaiman, and then smiled and whispered Elge Kaiman’s misdeeds to Sejun. “Great Black Dragon Sejun, sir, that guy took away the gifts for the Black Rabbit King!” That guy is just the Third Prince of a kingdom on the 84th floor of the tower, but this side is the Great Black Dragon who rules the Black Tower.
“What?! He took away the Black Rabbit’s gifts? Is there more?!”
Dash! Ooh-ki! Doo-doo!
The animals nodded diligently in response to Sejun’s question. This guy was a real piece of work.
Doo-doo!
“[He took my friend too!]”
“He took other friends too? I understand. Bring all the ones he took.” While the animals went to bring the additional victims who had their belongings taken by Elge Kaiman, Sejun began to add content to the blank contract.
Dash! Ooh-ki! Doo-doo!
When all the leaders of the nine dragon tribes entered and took their seats in the residence of the Silver Dragon Chrisella Histron, Chrisella asked Kaiser on behalf of everyone, “Kaiser, tell me now. What did you eat earlier?”
“First, if you want to hear my answer, give me all the Tower Coins you have.”
“Tower Coins?”
‘Why not.’ When Kaiser asked for useless Tower Coins as the price for information, the dragons gladly handed over all the Tower Coins they had to Kaiser.
“You have to give them too,” Kaiser held out his hand to Kellion and Lamter.
“You sly dog.”
“How sly.”
Kellion and Lamter knew Kaiser’s intentions, but they couldn’t help but fall for it.
“Hehehe. Thank you.” Thanks to them, Kaiser was able to collect a little over 10 billion Tower Coins. Adding the money he got from defeating Halphas earlier, it seemed like he would have 25 billion Tower Coins.
“Now tell me.”
“Alright. It’s a bean obtained from the Five-Colored Beans grown by our Tower Farmer.”
“That’s a bean grown by the Tower Farmer?!” The dragons buzzed at Kaiser’s words. Until now, the crops grown by the Tower Farmer were just a small snack for the dragons and had no great significance. Just something to brag about when they met the dragons.
But if the crops grown by the Tower Farmer could explosively increase the dragons’ abilities, the story would be completely different. With Kaiser’s words, the atmosphere among the dragons completely changed.
Six dragons who thought they should have their Tower Farmer cultivate crops that have a similar effect to what Kaiser ate.
‘Our grandson Ajax is… Sigh… I need to quickly gather money and reserve beans from Sejun.’
‘I need to earn a lot of money for alcohol and bean prices.’
Two dragons who just wanted to solve it with money.
‘Hehehe. With this money, I can make our Sejun a little stronger, right?’ One dragon who wasn’t interested in crops and wanted to make the Tower Farmer stronger with money.
“Then I have something to do, so I’ll be going.”
“Ahem. Me too.”
“I should go back too.” The dragons, who had become impatient, hurriedly returned to their territories.
‘Just you wait, you guys!’ Even after discovering Iona, the Great Destruction Magician, Urchi, the king of the Black Oaks, who commanded 5 million troops, and Hegel and Elka, the leaders of the Black Silver Wolf Mercenary Corps, who were recently gaining fame in the tower, Elge Kaiman did not give up hope.
Even though the leaders of the two forces appeared and greeted the insignificant being in front of them first, acting like subordinates, he did not give up hope. The martial part can be solved later when his father’s sworn brother appears. There was only one problem left.
‘If I just take that…’ Elge Kaiman watched Sejun writing the blank contract and looked for an opportunity. If he just took the contract with his handprint on it and used the contract nullification potion, he could solve everything.
Just then, Elge Kaiman called out to the giant Hoin who had arrived at the wedding hall just in time. “Uncle Hannibal, please help me! I am Elge Kaiman, the Third Prince of the Kaiman Kingdom!”
Hannibal, the sworn brother of his father, Croker Kaiman, and the chairman of the Mercenary Association. As the chairman of the Mercenary Association, he was equal to Iona, one of the three major forces, and could exert a strong influence on the Black Silver Wolf Mercenary Corps, which was also a mercenary group.
‘This has balanced everything out.’
“Oh! Elge, is that you?! But what’s with the atmosphere? Don’t tell me you guys messed with my nephew?!” Hannibal, the slaughterer of the battlefield, raised his murderous intent at his nephew’s request for help. The wedding hall instantly turned cold again.
“Kyu-kyu-kyu-kyu-Hannibal, your nephew crossed the line first!”
“That’s right! Let’s talk it over first!”
“Chairman, you’re making a mistake!” Iona, Hegel, and Elka tried to persuade Hannibal.
“Ahem. If you guys say so, I’ll listen for now…” Hannibal, who saw Iona’s fourth stage of angry Kyu for the first time, eased his momentum for now. And since Hegel and Elka were not the type to do bad things, he decided to talk it over first.
As Hannibal was about to resolve it through conversation, Elge Kaiman, who had been watching for an opportunity, used a teleportation item to move next to Sejun and poured the contract nullification potion on the contract.
Splash.
The higher the rank of the person presiding over the contract and the longer the contract period, the lower the probability of contract nullification. But the opponent was so low in rank that he felt insignificant, and the contract period was short, just a moment ago. The probability of contract nullification was 100%.
However, the contents of the contract were not erased.
Splash.
“Huh?! This can’t be happening?” Elge Kaiman was flustered.
“What? Why are there two names?” A: Aileen Fritani, Park Sejun B: Elge Kaiman He belatedly discovered that there was another name in the contract’s A section.
Theo, who had been tricked once by the great merchant Mimir, received Aileen’s seal before handing the contract to Sejun. “Aileen, please sign, Meow!” With Aileen’s supreme rank, the possibility of the contract being nullified was almost 0%.
“Puhuhut. I, Vice President Te, don’t make the same mistake twice, Meow!” Theo put his front paws on his waist and smiled with a triumphant look.
