38 – LH Sister Punishment Act 12

Bahamut’s condition was simple.

When this job is over, you want to claim the ownership of the Lugano area for yourself.

From the point of view of cleaning up the owners, he meant that he should receive that much as a cost of labor.

“How is it? If you don’t like the conditions…”

“Ah… no! Not at all. I’ll let Mr. Bahamut handle it the way he wants, so please finish this job well.”

At Bahamut’s words, the Archbishop even more strongly asked for the matter to be dealt with. Seeing this, Bahamut put a warm smile on his lips and said to the archbishop.

“Yes, of course. No matter how I look like this, I am also a believer. It is unacceptable to see the disgrace of the name of the Holy Father. Don’t worry, we’ll take care of it without even knowing about mice or birds.”

“thank you. Thank you very much.”

Watching the story end well, Bahamut began to look back on the current situation, which was getting more and more interesting.

‘Indeed.. the destructive power of a good story is greater than imagined.. especially if it is reversed.’

The story about the identity of Linda Halls was, of course, Bahamut, which I knew through spoilers.

However, if Bahamut had simply conveyed this matter to the Vatican in the form of an accusation, things would not have worked out so smoothly.

As it could be a big embarrassment to the Holy See, there was a high possibility that a small number of people would try to cover it quietly on their own line.

In addition, if the situation went badly, there was even a possibility that Bahamut, who knew about this, would put pressure on him to keep his mouth shut.

However, Bahamut made them divulge the secret by themselves by delivering it in the form of a story.

countless people. In a situation that even spread to the ears of the pope, they opened the secret room with their own hands.

As the scale of the work has grown so large, it was absolutely impossible to cover it up calmly, and it became hardened as a work that had to be solved in some way.

In the process, it was a bonus to ask Bahamut, who naturally initiated the incident and who had the power to solve this matter, to solve the incident, rather than ordering him to keep his mouth shut.

‘Even so, I really didn’t expect it to roll this well. After all, is it because he is a religious person that he is not comfortable with this kind of talk?’

So, thankful that the story did not get buried along the way and flowed well, Bahamut ordered the work to proceed as requested by the archbishop.

It was to have Isolda arrest the lord and Linda with a letter written by the archbishop.

*

“damn! can’t you solve this? I’m the parishioner here! How dare you show such disrespect..”

“Sigh..”

Isolda let out a small sigh as she looked at Linda, who had been thrown into prison.

Looking at that woman who is in denial and writing evil even in the situation where she lost everything and was caught, it is because it reminds me of myself in the past.

However, even so, Isolda had no intention of sympathizing with the woman in front of her.

‘It’s possible to use other people for your own success. Because it is convenient and efficient enough. If you don’t care about other people’s suffering or if you don’t know anything about it, it’s an easy path to take.’

However, even for Isolda, who did it without hesitation, this woman named Linda Halls was disgustingly terrible.

Even the fact that they were breathing the same air made me feel uncomfortable.

Feeling so bad, Isolda left the place, ignoring Linda, who was screaming.

*

“Good work, Isolda is sure to handle the work, so it’s good.”

“Nothing. Rather, you are more amazing for allowing me to finish it neatly like this.”

Seeing Bahamut with a satisfied expression on his face, who was as natural as always, Isolda gave a sneaky compliment.

“Honestly, I was a little surprised, to think that I would move the Holy See directly, not anywhere else.

“Well, to tell you the truth, I didn’t expect this much either. I simply thought there might be something, so I threw the ground rice, and that’s just the result of hitting it so well.”

“Be humble too…”

Looking at Isolda admiring him, Bahamut told the truth, but no matter how I looked at it, Isolda did not believe it.

‘Somehow, it seems that the evaluation of me is getting a little too high… Does it really matter?’

Information known through spoilers and a little luck,

And based on this, I design the situation

The things that made up the so-called ‘ability’ of a man called Bahamut were this much, but there was no big problem in achieving the desired goal with just that.

Right now.

‘But no matter how many countries there are, there are limits.. Knowing the future is not omnipotence.’

In the middle of the Pacific, knowing that a ship is going to sink tomorrow doesn’t really make a point.

What you can do is to try in advance to avoid creating such a situation.

In any case, apart from that, Bahamut was satisfied with the fact that this project was going smoothly.

“Bahamut-sama.”

“yes? What happened?”

The branch manager of Lugano opens the door and carefully steps inside.

After looking around for a bit, he spoke carefully to Bahamut.

“what? Is it really?”

“Yes, I think Bahamut-sama should go.”

“Umm… I got it. Let’s go right away.”

Due to an unexpected situation, Bahamut showed a slightly embarrassed expression, and Isolda did the same.

“..this is.. a bit unexpected..”

“Let’s go for now. In any case, it may be beneficial to us in some cases.”

“Ummm..”

While saying that, the two stood up from their seats.

But regardless of whether or not they could actually benefit, the same uneasy look was evident on their faces.

*

“So, did you want to see me?”

“That’s right, Mr. Bahamut.”

Looking at the man sitting in front of him, Jake, lord of Lugano, Bahamut made a face full of discomfort and gave a slight chin gesture.

It seems like if you have something to say, say it

As a result, Jake began to feel deep displeasure with Bahamut, who showed this attitude towards him as a lord and aristocrat, no matter how great a merchant he was.

However, the one holding the hilt now was the other side.

A human who holds not only himself, but also Linda’s lifeline.

Even if he was dissatisfied and his pride was hurt, as he was not in a position to speak, he suppressed his emotions and spoke to Bahamut.

“I would like to propose a deal to Bahamut.”

“transaction?”

“Yes, it is. this..”

With those words, Jake put something out in front of Bahamut.

A crumpled letter with burnt dust.

Bahamut’s face grew colder as he looked at the contents written in it.

“It’s about the gold mine we developed. I want to make a deal with Mr. Bahamut with this.”

Jake spoke with a confident voice. In response to this, Bahamut frowned and spoke to him in a cold voice.

“I was expecting it, but… it’s really shameless. This gold mine must have been originally discovered by us?”

“Yes, but due to administrative problems, he eventually gave up and left. Since then, we were the ones who bought and developed it, so this place belongs to us no matter what anyone says.”

“Um… ”

In the meantime, I wanted to point out that the Easter lord intervened, but there was no accurate evidence for that.

And this was the fact that, as Jake said, the gold mine was legally owned by him.

“If it is a gold mine, I am sure it will be of great value. To the extent that we can pay off all the debt we borrowed and get more profit. I will hand it over.”

“… .Sigh..”

At Jake’s words, Bahamut sighed deeply.

With the Archbishop’s order falling, it was a very simple task to kill Jake here.

However, if that happens, the possession of the gold mine will naturally go back to Easter, the lord of the area.

It was that there would be no room for the Beden upper house to claim ownership.

‘I would have thought that the place where I took the coordinates without much meaning and sprinkled a few gold flakes to camouflage it was really a gold mine… This thing went very strangely…’

While Bahamut was silent while pondering for a while, Lee Solda, who was next to him, asked with his characteristic cold voice.

“So, what are your requirements for that? No matter how much we are, we can’t calmly release you who are the targets of the Holy See?”

“I know. I also did not expect to be a lord again in this situation. All I want is for you to allow me and Linda to run away with the property we own.”

“Hmm… ”

They had given away most of their property, but they still had money from a loan secured by the mine.

That alone was worth a hundred talents.

It was a staggering sum of money that no ordinary person could earn in a lifetime.

‘Even though I won’t be able to live with a lot of excitement like I did in the days of the lord. Now that everything is ruined, at least that much…’

Jake, who had such a small hope, had a faint smile on his lips.

Regarding this, Bahamut closed his eyes for a moment while immersed in long thoughts.

He obtained the iron mines he was aiming for, and through a deal with the Archbishop, he obtained the rights to the territory of Lugano as a bonus.

In addition, if an unexpected gold mine is added, Sam’s worries about resources will virtually disappear.

Regarding this, Bahamut knew that he had to draw conclusions in the most beneficial way, putting aside personal feelings.

‘There are too many things in my hands to move according to my emotions… I really wanted to put these ugly guys to shame.

As he finally made his decision, a deep sigh escaped Bahamut’s mouth.

“Haa.. that’s good. That offer… I will accept it.”
