Chapter 99 – Chapter 99 Another Magic Tower
Jason continued to grow while hiding his value.
And there was bound to be someone who eventually noticed this.
It wasn’t the people like Tigris, Daphne, and Taleia who were already in their position and looked down on Jason.
Among Jeffrey’s other children, they were those who were not even among the candidates for succession.
They were always thinking about whether to enjoy life without thinking or which sibling to stick to.
So, there were people who noticed Jason’s growth, which was hidden by the image of a prostitute.
It was the seventh son, Hartwell Wolf.
He was running a small gambling house.
Gambling was also one of the areas of business run by gangsters.
However, it was only a field that did not make much money than drugs, brothel, and mercenary business.
A lot of rumors circulated in the dobangjang.
Those who had been hanging out in the gambling hall all day had a lot of small talk.
Hartwell always had information gathered from his own entourage about the Wolf family’s hidden affairs.
Cross-validation of information from various gambling establishments sometimes yielded plausible information.
“Tigris is always doing well. Drugs always make money. And I’m steadily entering the dungeon and practicing. Talaia said halfway she became a member of the royal family. She says she participates in the imperial family’s ceremonies.”
“Then what about the second?”
Hartwell did not even say that he was his older brother or sister when he and his entourage were alone.
“As expected of Daphne, the hound is her greatest strength. He usually goes to raid dungeons with the Hound.”
The Hound belonged to advanced adventurers of various professions.
Naturally, Daphne was the best to train around the dungeon.
“Then, is Daphne the best environment to become a superhuman?”
“I guess so. Daphne has the lowest odds in the gamble on who will be the next superhuman of the Wolf family.”
Gamblers gambled with everything in the world.
Who will be the next emperor Who will be the next head of the Wolf family?
Even these things became a game of gambling.
And surprisingly, the hit rate was quite high.
Gamblers checked all kinds of information and bet their money.
“Still true. Who will be the next superman I can’t be sure who will be the head of household.”
Everyone was trying to become superhuman.
There were differences in talent and surrounding environment.
It’s just that the odds are different, and it’s not known who will become a superman first.
“And these days, money is going to unexpected people.”
“Who is this?”
“This is Jason.”
“The youngest?”
Hartwell’s eyes widened at the unexpected ambush.
“Aren’t you the youngest? And I go to a brothel every day. Buy female slaves. I thought you were that kind of guy.”
“However, reaching an intermediate level at a young age is highly regarded. Besides, it’s like being favored by the head of the household, Jeffrey, while succeeding in one business after another.”
“Yeah, it’s intermediate level. Is there only one or two people who feel the limit at the intermediate level?”
“I think there are predictions that I will grow up faster because I am still young. Besides, the scale of money touched these days is unusual.”
“Okay. Well, I do a franchise business. Also get the Black Magic Tower. But isn’t that because of coaxing the Red Dragon King? How much money do you touch?”
“Even if I can’t do it, millions of gold. There is a story that you can get tens of millions of gold at most.”
Hartwell opened his mouth wide at the word tens of millions of gold.
Even he, who runs a large gambling house in the capital, could not handle that amount of money.
The only way he could touch such money was to take the money piled up in the gambling house and run away.
Then all the gamblers in the capital would hire adventurers to come after them.
“No. Does it make that much money? Isn’t this what your father is secretly helping behind the scenes?”
“Rumor has it that it is not. First kiss room. Then Love Gel. Then franchise. All of this, in turn, is said to have grown the business.”
“A small child can be so good at business? Do you have someone good at business next to you?”
“It is said that a woman named Tria was her ace at her brothel and she was thick in her bones at that floor.”
Hartwell banged his fingernails on the handles of his chair.
Now he was smiling at Tigris, Daphne, and Thaleia with his head bowed.
I was putting a line on all three of them.
But no matter how much he thought about it, he wasn’t bowing his head to Jason.
In the family, he was always the youngest in the corner.
“At least, I’m only the youngest.”
“He is also the son whom the head of household calls the most. If you’re next to a superman, you’ll get adventure know-how or good magic equipment. Wouldn’t there be some crumbs coming out?”
“It’s common to pet the youngest.”
When Hartwell’s aide said this, he thought he should check on Jason first.
“Then, is there any way to get to know Jason? Shall we enjoy the nightlife together?”
There was nothing better than going out to a brothel together to have a drink together.
Men also had an image that brothels were dirty, and when they did something dirty together, they felt a friendship as if they were sharing deep inside each other.
In particular, when they took turns fucking and eating the same prostitute, they became real friends in one day.
“No. Although I like brothels. You seem to have a monopoly on women. There is a saying that you can keep a woman you like by her side and not touch other men.”
“Woe. The young bastard is complicated.”
Hartwell got up from his seat and had several thoughts.
“But there is not much corner to tie something up in business.”
He finally made up his mind.
“For now, just watch. Even if Jason is a keuty guy. After all, he is only the youngest. You can’t keep up with 20 or 30 years. He focused only on Tigris, Daphne, and Talaia as he had been doing until now. Let’s just watch Jason from time to time.”
“All right.”
“And at least send Jason an invitation to the casino. Guys who like women also like to gamble.”
“Yes.”

Saussure summoned the other high-level mages of the Hundred Stone Magic Tower.
And we talked about the future direction.
“First of all, we need to reduce the size of the mage tower.”
“Why?”
“Leave the areas that sell well. Wouldn’t it be better to be able to get a price for a field that doesn’t sell well? Before later being disposed of at a bargain price by the Steel Clergy.”
“Then what areas do you think are not needed?”
“First of all, dispose of the facilities that make magic weapons one by one.”
Magic weapons were the most expensive, but also the least popular items.
It took up a lot of facilities in the magic workshop because they had to bring quality weapons from the forge, add magic materials, and engrave magic letters.
However, adventurers preferred to use those whose performance had already been proven rather than newly created magic weapons.
Since it is related to life, they prefer things with reliable performance.
Another high-ranking wizard objected.
“No. If you don’t even make magic weapons, is that a mage tower? Create a magic weapon that will go down in history. My reputation is maintained and requests from other places come in. If we don’t make magic weapons, what’s the difference between us and the shops that only make and sell magic potions in the alley?”
“But isn’t the financial situation of Baekseok Magic Tower bad? If you can’t make money, sell it boldly. We have to plan for the future again!”
The dispute between the senior wizards intensified.
They were all those who had grown up in the Baekseok Mage Tower.
If possible, he wanted to continue his career in the familiar Baekseok Magic Tower.
If you become a high-level wizard, you can find jobs anywhere else, but there was already a stone stuck in other places.
And when Saussure listened to the conversations of the advanced mages, he knew that he had to step in after all.
It seemed that this meeting was held for nothing.
It was clear that the Baekseok Magic Tower had already passed the stage where it could somehow save itself.
He said the meeting was over and stood up.
It was a meeting where nothing was decided and each other only left scars on each other.
Saussure immediately went out of the magic tower and found a carriage to the capital.
He didn’t even have money to spend on the magic door right now.
After traveling for several days, he arrived in the capital and headed straight to the Wolf family.
And he headed to the annex where Jason Wolf, not anyone else, was staying.
Jason Wolf watched the female slaves training and immediately went into the parlor of the annex when he saw that Saussure Whitt had arrived.
A female slave brings refreshments and tea, and Saussure Whit sits in front of Jason.
“People who come to the Wolf family are usually looking for my father. So what did you come to see me for?”
Jason pretended not to know even though he knew all about Saussure’s purpose.
