Chapter 145 – Chapter 145 Taleia
The reason I became addicted to gambling was not because I thought I could make more money.
It was because of the hope of finding the original.
Even though he kept borrowing additional money from the Iron Clergy to such an extent that the interest would put the entire brothel business at risk, Taleia continued to be consumed by the idea that he could make ends meet by clearing all the hostile organizations.
However, the situation got worse and worse, and she began to think about who to turn her anger to.
She made all the decisions and she wasn’t angry with herself.
She found her entourage, and her entourage, who had been by her side whispering until recently that everything would be fine with her, all left to direct the brothel war.
So she accidentally did her chores with only her men next to her own.
“How did this happen! What happened!”
“Lady Thalia. Ji, calm down… “
“Bring back all the bastards who planned this!”
“They go all over the empire to attack hostile organizations… “
“Call me back! Even if they are there anyway, it won’t have a big impact on the market!”
“It will take time to come back.”
“At least use the magic door in the magic tower!”
“That money… “
Thaleia knew it would be better for them to aid in an attack on a hostile organization than to bring in her entourage, already scattered throughout the Empire.
But she did not know that her entourage, scattered across the empire, had given up the war.
“No. No. They said that even if the sky collapses, there is a hole through which it will rise. Obviously there must be another way. I have to come up with a way now.”
Thaleia suddenly missed her father.
If he had had a father, he would have been able to overcome this level of crisis.
It was over with a little bit of nagging.
But there was no father.
Tigris and Daphne were perfectly guarding their father’s property so that no one could misuse it.
In the end, Thaleia went to Tigris.
“Brother. Didn’t you say you’d lend me money the other day?”
The Wolf family ran various underworld businesses, but the drug business was the most cash-flowing.
Sex isn’t going without money, but drug dealers were good customers who would do anything to get money even if they didn’t have money.
“It was different then and now.”
“Huh?”
“That’s what business is all about. If it goes well, it’s beneficial to invest somehow and get a share. It’s more profitable to buy a ruined thing because it’s the price of shit when you’re screwed. What is the share In a little while, I can eat the brothel all over.”
“What are you talking about? Do you think I will sell my business to you?”
“What if I don’t sell it? Then I’ll hand it over to the Steel Clergy and they’ll auction it off. Whether I buy it there or buy it from you, there is no difference between me and me. It’s enough to clean up and sell the business that you recklessly earned after buying it like that, and run the net profit again.”
Thaleia glared at Tigris.
Then, Tichrist glared right at Taleia.
It was different from before.
Talea didn’t mind Tigris’s glaring glances, but she unknowingly avoided Tigris’s eyes.
Tigris said with a laugh.
“I won’t pay more. After all, isn’t it enough for you to get married to the royal family? Live there thinking that it is your family. I will take care of the Wolf family.”
“I can’t! If you overcome this hurdle well, you will be the head of the Wolf family!”
“I’m aiming for that position too, so do you think I’ll help you with that? Why don’t you go to the Iron Clergy instead? Oh, are you trying to say something like that? All the collateral you have is over.”
Then, Thaleia cried out in a fit.
“Even then, the only thing my brother can get is the brothel business, which is much smaller than before! You can only save the capital and two or three big cities? Do you want something like that?”
“Even if you only have half of the brothel business, I don’t care if you get the entire Wolf family. It’s enough to grow the brothel business again. As long as the rest of the Wolf family is intact, we can do that much.”
Thaleia seemed to be losing her mind.
Tichrist said this, but it was obvious that if I asked Daphne, who had a better brain, she would refuse.
Tigris persuaded her nicely.
“If you want to save even a little money, stop what you are doing and save as little as possible. Handing it over to me is the best way.”

Geoffrey was informed through Demeter that this was going to the end.
“Can’t we reverse the flow now?”
“Yes. Now, even if we clean up the business we have opened, Lady Taleia will definitely go bankrupt.”
“Hmm.”
Jeffrey’s face crumpled.
He had solidified all the family businesses and passed them on to his children.
It was a business that would be okay for the rest of my life if I just sat there doing nothing like a monkey.
But one stupid daughter blew it.
“So that’s why those people in his aide said he was a wind-catcher?”
“As far as I know, there was contact with Master Jason.”
“If you can figure it out, is there any chance that Thalaia will know it?”
“There won’t be. It’s information I barely found out.”
“That is fortunate. Then there won’t be any stabbing.”
If Taleia found out about this, she would immediately pick up her sword and go in search of Jason.
Geoffrey didn’t mind fighting among his children for the position of head of the family, but he didn’t want them to risk each other’s lives.
Demeter couldn’t understand the contradiction.
“It is enough to prove one’s ability and connect everything to me. Better yet, if she doesn’t kill her siblings in the process. That’s right. If you are a high-ranking warrior, mage, or priest, no matter what you do, you can make a living better than commoners, so it doesn’t matter if your life is preserved.”
“So you’re saying you don’t intend to intervene just yet?”
“Okay. The youngest bastard is finally trying to reveal her true color, but the father shouldn’t be able to do it.”
If Jason takes over the brothel business stably, his position in the Wolf family will be at a level that can never be ignored.
Tigris and Daphne might fight against each other by holding hands.
Demeter wasn’t sure if Geoffrey’s decision would lead to the birth of a new Dark Ball or the downfall of the Wolf family.

Jeffrey asked Jason to see him after a long time.
Jason was the only one aware of Jeffrey’s survival.
It didn’t matter if I called him out and talked to him like this.
“How do you plan to finish this job?”
“What do you mean?”
“Taleia.”
“That’s something the Steel Clergy will take care of.”
“Do you think I don’t know that you are friends with them and are involved in internal affairs?”
Jason grinned.
The Steel Clergy were good business partners for him.
It wasn’t just about borrowing money and paying interest and principal.
Jason also had a lot of relationships with other rich people while doing a big business outside.
And among those rich people, Jason was highly regarded within the Steel Priests simply by connecting people who could help each other with the Steel Priests.
He even met Stiana, the head of the branch of the Palmo Empire, to the point where he was close with him.
“I will pick it up.”
“The brothel business isn’t going to be very good right now, is it? Are you sure he won’t get sick from eating it?”
“I’ve been working this far because I have confidence. Otherwise, my father would have made the business so strong that I would not have dared to eat it.”
“Good night. Don’t watch.”
And Jeffrey asked what was troubling him.
“Then business is like that. What will Thalia do? Still, she’s your sister.”
“If I know for sure who the owner is, I will treat you like a sister.”
“If only I knew who the owner was… “
Jeffrey was worried again.
His own children all grew up flawlessly.
So he was only a person who was arrogant and took it for granted to stand above others.
He was the only one who knew how to respect others.
I didn’t know if Talleya would accept Jason, whom she considered her subordinate all her life, as her master.
A person with no ability and only pride was bound to destroy himself.
Perhaps recognizing Jeffrey’s concerns, Jason comforted his old father and said,
“I will not let my sister harm herself. Let it not die I can’t make my father sad.”
“Okay. I can believe what you say.”
Jason could have not cared at all if Taleia committed suicide, but even so, his father was separate from his vendetta.
It must be because the old father is a blood relative, but he did a lot for himself.
He couldn’t repay his father’s favor with enemies, saying he had to take revenge.
‘And if it’s okay as long as you don’t die… Because there are life worse than death.’
