World's Strongest Troll

Chapter 31 Cheating is difficult (5)

The amount of gold that Jae-gyu spent on grain hoarding is 500,000 gold.

Considering that 1 gold is currently traded at around 100,000 won, it was a situation where a large sum of 50 billion won was spent, so Jegyu had no choice but to be impatient.

“I will see it as a business and support it, so I have to bring results that match it, right?”

Father's warning to bring results, saying that he will treat it as a business. Jaegyu was happy that his father was acknowledging his efforts, but on the other hand, he was afraid that he might mess things up again. If he loses this opportunity, perhaps Chairman Choi Chun-sik will never give him expectations again.

“Strictly monitor the people coming out of the Duke of Bergen’s house, and if you are a user, bring them to me!”

That's why any minor variable is unacceptable.

After learning that there was a user other than himself who was in contact with the Duke of Bergen, Jaegyu put someone near the Duke's house. And soon after, the one they brought with them, Jegyu, sat down after confirming that he was the user of the adventurer outfit he had seen at the duke's house earlier.

“You said you wanted to see me?”

A user who has set his character name to private and does not have a nickname above his head. If you didn't look carefully, you could mistake him for an NPC, and he was showing a little displeasure.

“...He said to bring me because there was something to check. I apologize if I offended you.”

Words that aren't very sincere. Jaeyoung was taken aback by the other person's attitude, as if it was only natural for him to leave everything aside and follow him when he asked him to come, but he asked with patience in mind.

“Confirmation... what do you want to confirm?”

“Did you meet the Duke of Bergen earlier?”

Jaeyoung frowned at the gaze that looked at him as if he knew everything.

“then?”

“What did you talk about with him?”

“I don't think there's any reason why I should tell you that?”

“...It seems that you haven't grasped the atmosphere yet.”

The two of them have no progress at all in their conversation. Jae-gyu's assistant, who was watching the two of them, cautiously intervened.

“Please don't misunderstand. We just wanted to ask the Duke of Bergen because we were curious about what kind of quests he received.”

“is that so? But why doesn’t the attitude toward me seem to be at the level of asking?”

The attendant stood out for his willingness to drag him away, even by force. Jaeyoung didn't like all of this because the moment he was sitting now wasn't his will. And Jegyu's patience ran out at his uncooperative attitude.

“I don't know what your relationship is with the Duke of Bergen, but don't interfere with the Duke's preparations. If I see him messing around again...”

“What if I see him?”

“It will be very difficult to play this game in the future.”

blatant intimidation. Jaeyoung's face grew cold as he saw his determination to stop him from playing the game at all costs. I don't know exactly why they keep them from coming around the Duke of Bergen, but he was extremely wary of contacting the Duke of Bergen.

“Uh... talk to me for a moment...”

Jegyu’s assistant, emotionally separated from him and Jaeyoung, smiled softly and bowed in the utmost respect.

“sorry. Our top lord is very sensitive about this incident. I will apologize on behalf of you, so I ask for your understanding.”

The opposite attitudes of the two, as if they were calming and soothing. When Jaeyoung was contemplating where to set the rhythm, he hinted at it.

“Our top is not just a normal top, it is a top made by the GM Group.”

“yes? The GM group?”

Jaeyoung was also surprised to learn that the GM Group runs a guild in the game. No matter how much Arcadia is a game with great popularity, it was hard to imagine that a company created and operated a top in the game.

“Yes.... I can't tell you in detail, but this time our guild is preparing something, and because of that, our corporal, or lord of the guild, is very sensitive. So by the way...”

He took out a pouch in his hand. It was filled with shiny gold coins.

“Can't you just give up on whatever quest the Duke of Bergen gave you? I put in enough, so you won't be disappointed at all compared to the reward you'll get from beating the duke's quest.”

An attendant secretary who tries to bribe Jae-young with money. But there was one fact he overlooked. That is, Jaeyoung is not someone who moves with money.

“So what. You just have to give up the quest the duke gave you, right?”

Jaeyoung happily nods and accepts the pouch he gave him. When he received the money bag, the attendant's assistant, who couldn't hide a smile on his face, bowed his back and expressed his gratitude.

“thank you! I wish you all the best in the future!”

It seems like you got what you wanted. An attendant who sees Jae-young off with a satisfied smile. But he didn't know that behind him was a demon flapping its wings and smirking amusedly.

* * *

“How are you?”

When the assistant secretary enters the office, Je-gyu asks for the results. The secretary reported the outcome of the negotiations with Jaeyoung with a smile on his face.

“I took the money bag and went. I've decided to give up the quest the duke gave me, so I don't think you need to worry too much.”

“Oh yeah... I couldn’t even check that bastard’s nickname. Aren’t you secretly stabbing me from behind?”

“I will thoroughly check that part by attaching people around the duke. And personally, I think it would be difficult for him to have any effect on us, no matter what quest he received.”

War doesn't just happen as a single event. Hundreds and thousands of incidents happen in a chain due to the intertwining of numerous interests and interests. That's why he was convinced that no matter what quest he solved, it was almost impossible to prevent a war that would break out.

When his assistant, who could be said to be the elite of elites who graduated from a prestigious university, spoke confidently, Jegyu also relaxed slightly, as if he was relieved.

“If war breaks out, what would be our expected revenues?”

The GM Merchant Company borrowed all the funds given by Chairman Choi Chun-sik and visited all kinds of merchant companies and territories and brought in a gift contract that was unfamiliar here. Thanks to the leverage they gathered by maximizing their capabilities, the amount they actually invested reached 10 million gold.

An amount that amounts to 1 trillion won in Korean currency.

It was no longer just a game because a lot of money was invested in this work. An issue that the chairman of a conglomerate called the GM Group is watching with direct interest. That's why Jaegyu had to make this job a success unconditionally and make a profit comparable to it.

“It will depend on the increase in grain prices, but... as expected, we expect to gain about 8 million gold.”

A magic that increases the investment of 580,000 gold to 8 million gold. All of this was possible because leverage was hit with full force, but if successful, it would be a remarkable achievement that not only Chairman Choi Chun-shik but also the entire group would pay attention to.

“Soon... I hope a war breaks out.”

The achievement called 580 billion to 800 billion. A ridiculous performance achieved with just a few connectors and a few people without any factories or facilities. In this virtual world where huge amounts of money are moving, Jaegyu smirked and let his imagination run wild. With the little devil in between, who is listening intently to their conversation.

* * *

“Hmm.... What? Didn't they want a war after all?”

“I know? That's why we need honesty between each other. If you or those guys had talked openly about what they wanted, the conversation would have ended on a warm note.”

I didn't know because I wasn't aware of it, but Tan signed a contract with Jaeyoung as a familiar. Jaeyoung, who spyed on their conversation remotely in real time through sensory sharing, a basic ability of familiars, laughed at their intentions.

Jae-Young tries to get the probability by starting a war and causing maximum confusion.

Je-gyu intends to exclusively purchase grain and make huge profits as a war special.

What they both wanted was the same war, but there was no need to check or guard each other. Rather, it is a situation where it makes more sense to hold hands and make friends.

“Anyway, can I not care? They said that they were also instigated by the Duke of Bergen and were preparing hard to start a war.”

Reasonable Tan's words. Everyone who heard it would nod and agree, but Jaeyoung frowned as if he didn't like it.

“Wait a minute, but if a war breaks out, wouldn’t that sprout from earlier be better?”

Through Tan, Jae-young picks up the conversation between the two in real time. Of course, I didn't talk about the plan in detail, but I heard that the profits to be made from this war were enormous, so I didn't want to help them with their plans.

“What does it matter? It has nothing to do with you anyway.”

It's basic human nature that your stomach hurts when your cousin buys a piece of land, and your internal organs get twisted when a person without a drop of blood buys a building. It was said that he was going to earn gold worth 800 billion won at market price, nothing else, but Jae-young could not stay still even after hearing that fact.

“Still, this isn’t it. Some people work hard to get a little bit of probability, but who wants to sit down and earn 8 million gold without touching a hand? Is this a game?”

Jaeyoung, who shook his head vigorously as if he could never understand, completely changed his mind. Even if he had to give up the probabilities gained through war, he couldn't sit back and watch the damn rich boy earn money and eat.

“The Duke of Bergen must die.”

“ah! That bastard is pissed again.”

“I'm thinking of finally showing my faithful side.”

A bullet hitting the forehead with a thud as if it hurts. Next to him, El was sending bright eyes, as if asking when he was going to kill the Duke of Bergen.

“Even now, send a duel to the Duke of Bergen...”

“L I said it before, but it can't be like that? You have to be quiet so no one knows.”

Jae-Young is worried about how to understand the dueling angel. However, at Jaeyoung's words that he would definitely assassinate him, L stretched out his wings as if he was disappointed and turned his head away as if he was pouting.

“joy! Then I can't help you this time either.”

“what....?”

“Assassination is a cowardly act of taking the life of another unexpectedly. It's a heinous act that doesn't even give you time to say goodbye to your loved ones. It is unacceptable for me to use heavenly power in such a way!”

“.....”

Nonsensical logic that I don’t even know where to start with. Jaeyoung is seriously thinking about how that crazy angel became an archangel and whether all angels are like that. Tan whispered to Jaeyoung with a coy look.

“What should I borrow?”

“what....?”

“No... just like those chicken wings lend it, it's possible for me to borrow the power of the Demon Realm.”

Jaeyoung asked as if he was absurd at the fact that the spirit god skill could be applied not only to the heavens but also to beings in the demon realm.

“hey! Why are you saying that now!”

“You never even asked! Before, they only asked for skills or abilities?”

“Ah... what should I do first.”

“Wait a minute... that’s it.”

Tan hurriedly stirs something and extends his hand to Jaeyoung. When we held hands, a bloody six star was drawn, and then a message came to mind.

[A contract with the Pandemonium has been established.]

[You can temporarily borrow the power of the Pandemonium by consuming Probability.]

Unlike before, it is divided into two columns and the list of countless characters is densely listed after the contract is established. . From that list, Jaeyoung chose the right person for this job and smiled.

“I can do it with this guy.”

“what? Why is it him?”

“I’ve seen it in history books before.”

Jae-young, who has mastered the history of Arcadia. Even in it, the existence of death that has been described in a fairly large amount and has tainted the entire continent of Arcadia with fear.

[Legion of Death Lich Argamer.]

His name was on the list.
