105 – That girl’s sweet trading method 4

“Whoa… ”

Someone covering their face with a mask.

Taking a small breath in the darkness, he gazed at the target that was beginning to appear in front of him.

A person who is accompanied by soldiers and walks on the road happily.

An oversized aristocrat dressed in fancy clothes.

He was talking loudly with an eerie smile on his lips.

“Ahahahaha, how much money did you get today?”

“Over 30 talents in total. If I can earn this way every time, I don’t think I will have to worry about money in the future.”

“Surely so. How much I struggled to get my hands on this permanent residence. Now all that remains is to squeeze steadily and accumulate wealth step by step.”

“This is a very wise move. The wealth of the lord is the wealth of this territory. You should do that.”

The lord who is excited to talk and his entourage to please him

watching them…

The man slowly pulled out the dagger he was holding in his hand.

Then, surrounded by magic, a dagger slowly rises into the air.

It began to aim somewhere like a compass moving.

And.

-Shook!-

A dagger that flew through the air while making a sharp sound.

As a result..

“Quaaagh!”

“! What… what is it?”

“Huh.. my lord!”

The lord falls to the floor with a desperate scream.

Despite being surrounded by escorts, a dagger was driven into his heart at an impossible angle.

The lord who faced death without the others even having time to use their hands.

Immediately after recognizing that the target had been taken care of, he quickly started to leave the place along the back alley.

And after a while, he arrived at the entrance of a shabby house.

Going down the cellar located there, he slowly removed the mask from his face.

Then a woman’s face emerges.

Despite her age, she looked like she was in her late teens, and entered the room lightly tidying up her sweat-drenched orange hair.

“I’m back.”

The four people in front of her eyes greeted with a bright voice.

All of them sitting casually in the room were female, but none of them felt ordinary.

Two girls in their mid-teens who appear to be twins. They had dark blue hair and black eyes, and although they looked the same, one face had a sense of composure, while the other had a look of restlessness.

And, a brown-skinned woman with a disgruntled expression on the bed opposite them.

She looked similar in age to the orange-haired woman, with green hair and dark green eyes, with unusually split pupils.

Lastly, a woman sitting on a chair in the center and maintaining an expressionless face.

In her mid-twenties, with purple hair, pale skin, and odd blue and purple eyes, she was the first of the other four to speak.

“Work?”

She asked in a quiet yet clear voice.

The orange-haired woman responded in a bright voice.

“Not perfect. As always, this Nemea-sama had a hand in it?”

The woman with purple hair nodded her head without changing her expression.

“By the way… how much was Mino’s pay this time?

One of the twins asked in a slightly meaningful voice.

To this the other answered her in a slightly crawling voice.

“yes? Ah.. that.. that.. so.. probably.. about 8000 silver.. Sister Ken.”

“Only 8000? Did these chicks turn? Put that on someone’s nose!”

“Ha.. but it can’t be helped. Uh.. since Sakiel was half ruined a while ago… ”

To the words of Ken Ross, the elder sister of the twins, who spoke in a growling voice, Mino Ross, the younger brother, hurriedly answered with a trembling voice.

And, while watching the twins, the green-haired woman who was sitting on the bed said in a slightly annoyed voice.

“That’s it, Ken. It’s not that Mino did anything wrong, what can the surrounding situation do? For now, I should rather be grateful for being able to say something like this.”

“Chit… Anyway, Mergon is too much on Mino’s side…”

Ken, who still shows signs of dissatisfaction and clears his sensibility.

Looking at her like this, she with green hair…

Godusa Mergon also looked frustrated.

No, it’s not just them, even if they don’t express it openly right away, there are five women in this room at this moment.

The members of ‘Predator’, one of Sakiel’s organizations in the past, were very dissatisfied with the current situation.

After the war with Hungary, Sakiels faced a major change.

They, who held the continent’s underground economy, suffered enormous damage that half of the executives and members, including all of the blacksmiths, were massacred, and their power was crushed.

Even though the vast territories rooted throughout the continent and the black commercial districts they dominated were still maintained.

The reason why they were able to maintain their weakened power was the power of the Beden Merchant, who in fact reigned as their new masters.

As a result, naturally, the influence of the Beden upper house within Sakiel had to be strengthened, and depending on their taste, some businesses became more lively than before, while some businesses went into decline on the contrary.

And, among them, the biggest hit was the slave business, which declared a total ban, and the contract killing business in which ‘Predator’ was engaged.

A business that takes money and assassinates a commissioned target.

Of course, this was prohibited in all countries, but since assassination was the final means of all negotiations, whether it was political or business, there was always a demand for it.

As a result, among the Sakiel organizations on the continent, only a small number of organizations dedicated to assassination were created, and the Predator was among those who had reached the peak.

Since the formation of the organization, they have not experienced a single failure over the past few years, and their notoriety is such that even Sakiel’s officers tremble in fear.

However, their glory days were unexpectedly ruined when the Sakis suffered a crushing defeat in Hungary a few months ago.

Despite the notice from the elders, they refused to participate, answering that it was about the slave business, which had nothing to do with them.

Other organizations specializing in assassination also took notice and participated in the war, but since even the elders were strong enough to feel the danger, there was no resistance from the Sakiel leadership.

It was because there was a risk that they would be forced to participate in the war and fall first.

It was so good that I didn’t participate in the war like that.

Thanks to that, it was really good that the 5 members of the Predator were staying safe in the place where their backs were burned, even while other assassination organizations that were confident in fighting during the war were in the vanguard and were massacred.

In the war they didn’t participate in, the Sachiels suffered a crushing defeat, and immediately after that, the Beden Merchant Company, which came to control Sakiel, declared the abolition of contract killings, and the Predator suddenly became unemployed overnight.

Only then did they realize the seriousness of the situation and regretted hitting the ground at the current situation, but the ship had already left the port and became a shipwreck and sank to the bottom of the sea.

Originally, contract killing was a job that required considerable difficulties and risks from winning the request, so the big background of Sakiel was the basis for them to move. The Predators, who had been intoxicated with the glory of the past, had forgotten that fact for a while.

In the end, having lost their reliable support and request window as a large organization, they gathered their connections and asked for work with difficulty, but the amount was absurdly reduced compared to before.

That said, if they were dissatisfied and assassinated the commissioned target, they would really starve to death.

“damn! Those who used to tremble at just hearing our name are giggling, saying that this is a recreational gambling place, but what are we doing?”

“At least, the prostitutes who were said to have been severely suppressed this time are better than us. Some of them are rather crawling out of the sun and raking in more money, aren’t they?”

Ken, who expresses dissatisfaction with the situation where the more he thinks about it, and Mergon, who sympathizes with it. Looking at them, the leader of the Predators, an odd-eyed woman with purple hair.

Echid Tifonia was quietly suppressing her feelings that were boiling just as much as they did.

‘Yes, but… I can’t stay like this forever. This isn’t survival, it’s just slowly drying up and dying…’

How long can you not endure like this. The financial situation is getting worse and worse, and moreover, most of the current clients are unreliable people who do not know when they will hit their backs.

That’s why I don’t have much money left right now to hit everyone and find another job, and in addition, this and that thing I’ve done as Sakiel’s assassin is also a situation that subtly catches my ankle.

Now that it is difficult to openly ‘try for a job’, Echid knew that he had to find a breakthrough and change the situation as soon as possible.

‘Unlike when we were in high places in the past, we now have no place to fall. If that’s the case…’

While thinking about one issue in his head, Echid slowly looked at the figures of his comrades in front of him.

To her, these precious people are like family.

In the position of being responsible for them, she had to make an important decision.

that is..
