Chapter 58 – Episode 58
Even after sending Igris to the battlefield, Geoffrey still felt uncomfortable.
So he called his three siblings, who were evaluated as the most promising among his children, to his study.
At the call of their father after a long absence, the three siblings entered the study with different faces.
Tigris Wolf. Daphne Wolf. Taleia Wolf.
They are high-class adventurers who cannot be ignored by anyone outside and are the children of the Wolf family.
However, standing in front of my father seemed like going back to my childhood.
“Have you made any progress lately?”
Jeffrey asked simply.
In fact, these three children had reached the age at which they would have become superhuman.
It wasn’t that I wanted to be better than myself.
But I didn’t want to be worse than myself.
Everyone else is at a high level of envy, but the superhuman father didn’t like it.
The three siblings were hesitant to answer, as there was no sudden increase in achievement.
“Is business going well?”
“Yes. It’s going well.”
“Me too.”
The three of them just said it was going well.
His eldest son, Tigris, had been entrusted with the drug business.
Her second daughter, Daphne, is entrusted with thug service, and her third daughter, Taleia, runs a brothel.
It was a business that could not be ruined if you had the right power and were careful.
Moreover, the name of the Wolf family in the illegal realm was absolute.
In Geoffrey’s opinion, it seemed that the operation would work even if a street cat was appointed as the president.
“Isn’t there anything better?”
Then the three siblings competed for several issues.
There was only talk of a 10 percent increase in income this quarter, a new mix of drugs that made them more addictive, or the use of thug services in this war.
It was just a small improvement to an existing business.
The three siblings exaggerated it as if they had done something great.
If she was a stupid family head, she could have been fooled by that.
But all of that business was built by Geoffrey and passed on to his children.
It was as if even the cornerstone of the brothel had been built by Jeffrey.
I couldn’t fool Jeffrey’s eyes.
“Okay. Report the rest in writing. Go out.”
Her three siblings didn’t know why her father was acting this way, so she just went outside.
It was obvious that she would go out and talk to each other.
Although they are rivals, at least at this moment, like siblings, they will guess their father’s intentions.
But there will be no child who knows the heart of the father.
After the three siblings leave, Geoffrey talks to Demeter.
“How do you think the Gray Mountains War will turn out?”
“It is still boiling.”
“I heard that Igris decided to side with the elves?”
“Yes.”
Demeter didn’t bother giving advice to Igris.
The reason she sided with the elves was simple.
This is because elf women are more beautiful than dwarf women in terms of appearance.
He wanted to spend the night with the elf woman in case something happened.
“Stupid. How can you only think with your lower legs?”
Jeffrey sighed and said.
“What do you think would have happened if we had sent Jason there?”
“You must have sided with the Dwarves.”
The fact that the war was boiling also meant that the victory or defeat of the war could be decided by external intervention. This was a golden opportunity.
He could have built a huge business. Igris couldn’t read that.
Among the elves and dwarves, it was naturally the dwarves that were more helpful to the Wolf family.
The value of Dwarves was great just by producing high-quality metal.
Elves, who put their highest priority on protecting nature, were not very helpful in human business.
“Even if I can consistently bring good quality plate armor, it will make a lot of money.”
Plate armor was a high-end item that cost over 7000 gold per suit.
It’s hard to buy even an adventurer who makes more money than most people.
It was to the extent that an intermediate level adventurer could rob all of his possessions to get one.
And among the plate armor, the thing that struck the most was something made by the Dwarves.
Even if you raise the hand of the dwarves in the war and win a contract to supply plate armor, you can make a lot of money.
And that money also becomes a capital that can make a superman stronger and a high-level adventurer a superman.
“Then I will tell Lady Daphne to support the dwarves.”
“Okay. He’s smart, so he’ll understand that much.”
He didn’t even care that Igris was already on the side of the elves.
These two superhumans knew that the degree of Igris would not affect the course of the war.
And Daphne was smart from a young age.
So she was the daughter raised by a sorceress.
“I should have told Jason to go to the Gray Mountains.”
“If that’s the case, things would have happened that the head of the family would find interesting.”
Still officially, Jason is weaker than Igris.
However, these two superhumans strangely thought that if it was Jason, going to the Gray Mountains could change the game of war.
My youngest son felt that anticipation.
“What is Jason doing these days?”
“He is said to be training in the marine dungeon.”
Also making money.
And to use that money to strengthen themselves.
He was the greedy youngest son who never missed anything.
“And… “
And Demeter, worried, gave another report.
“Take warrior lessons.”
“Would you like to become a warrior now?”
I’d rather learn a little bit of thief’s skills, but if it doesn’t suit my aptitude, I’ll understand if I completely change my direction to warriors.
However, Jason has already established himself as a thief.
Raising warriors on such a foundation was not the right direction no matter how much I thought about it.
It was such a thing that even Jeffrey, who believed in Jason, tilted his head.
“Who tricked Jason?”
It doesn’t seem like the clever Jason made that decision on his own.
And no matter how genius he is, there was a time when he was shaken by the words around him and made a mistake.
In Geoffrey’s opinion, that was more likely.
Besides, there were many rumors of him training more than one job, but few of them training both fighter and thief.
This is because the heavy armor worn by warriors hinders the thieves from scouting, which they are supposed to be good at.
Jeffrey assumed that Jason couldn’t have known that.
It was too basic common sense.
“No. All the women around her said they were dry. But Master Jason enforced it.”
“Hmm.”
Jeffrey pondered for a moment before speaking.
“Okay. Trust me once He’s not the kind of guy who can succeed alone. Even if he himself fails a little, he takes good care of the subordinates around him, so he will make up for it to some extent.”
“All right. Then we will just watch as we do now.”
“Okay. Instead, get someone who’s really good at stealth and follow him closely. To the upper level.”
“Yes.”
It cost a lot of money to move a high-level thief.
That’s why he only saved the middle class to protect Igris.
But Jeffrey spared no money for Jason.
That’s why Jeffrey had high expectations for Jason.
You can check Jason’s tracks more closely and block him if he tries to go down a dangerous path.
Considering these two effects, it was not a waste of money to move a high-level thief.
Geoffrey finished talking about Jason and turned his attention back to his three siblings.
It is said that he was an ugly child, but a child was a child.
“Can Daphne make the dwarves win the war?”
Although Daphne has a good brain, Geoffrey seems to be only on the level of understanding her intentions.
She was a daughter whose good brains were used only to interpret magic formulas, but she was not very smart in business.
She said, “What would she be if she even stepped up on her own?”
“What will it be? It’s such an ambiguous word.”
The two old men laughed.
“I mean war. Supermen fight with each other. Seniors are seniors. You know underneath. Why don’t you fight like that?”
If Geoffrey really wanted to benefit from being involved in the war in the Gray Mountains, she would have sent herself or Demeter.
Sending a superman was the surest way.
But Jeffrey didn’t.
First she gave this greece a chance, next she gave Daphne a chance.
Jeffrey was now an old man who had achieved everything he could.
All he had to do was pass on his legacy to his next generation.
He was only determining his posterity who would further his legacy.
“It happened. Don’t give Daphne any advice.”
“All right.”
Demeter wondered how Daphne would get involved in the war.
Her thug service she had was like a dark adventurer’s guild.
In terms of the quality of her subordinates, she was the most superior of her three siblings.
But just because she had good men did not mean that she would be successful in war unconditionally.
It was the quality of a longevity to be able to eat even if given a million troops.
This time, you will be able to confirm Daphne’s qualities as a leader.
That was exactly what Jeffrey wanted.
“Can Daphne think what I or you can think? Probably won’t it is not so?”
“But don’t children sometimes do unexpected things?”
“Okay. Yes. That’s why I’m constantly giving it a chance.”
In a way, the most cruel person was Jeffrey.
Give multiple children a chance and let them compete.
And he himself only sees all this from above.
Demeter only had such thoughts and did not speak them out.
That was something she shouldn’t have said as her younger brother and subordinate.
