Another World’s Good Swindler 195

Chapter 195 – Countermeasures Meeting

The next morning, when my girls were awake and more or less sleepy, I shared the information I had heard from Phillips.

After hearing the story, Germi hardened her face.

“Uncle Johannes, betrayal?”
“Germi, are you okay?”
“Huh… Just, I feel a little… That’s right.”

Johannes is someone Germi has seen since childhood. He’s enough to call him uncle, so even though he’s a bully, his credibility must have been quite high.

Above all, when he came to the West Way, he said that if it were Johannes, he would help him.

The sense of betrayal Germi felt must be considerable.

It hurts my heart to see him so depressed that even his ears drooped!!

Johannes! A bastard as dark inside as his black skin! Also my prediction was correct. Contemplation does not lie!

I expected him to betray Germi whenever he got the chance!

She held Germi’s hands tightly. Germi looked up at me.

“Germi, you have me. Believe me.”
“Oh… Sometimes, trustworthy…”

Embarrassed, Germi lowered her head.

The key is how to use this information that Phillips has asked for.

“It was a story I made up to get her money, but I didn’t know that there would be a real traitor.”

Of course, I thought it would go smoothly as I thought, but I really didn’t expect Johannes to join hands with Herendal and betray me.

In a way, it was a good idea to sow the seeds early. If it wasn’t for that, I would have been defenseless by now, unaware of Johannes’ betrayal.

It’s like a cow stepping back and catching a mouse. Some people get their nose broken even if they fall backwards, but I’m no different from picking up money after falling. By the way, Johannes is the guy who fell backwards and broke his nose.

Thermia, who was listening to the story beside her, tilted her head.

“Why don’t we inform the other officers that Mr. Johannes has betrayed us and work together to capture him?”
“It is difficult to reveal the identity of the traitor. If we catch the traitor, the justification for receiving the reward will disappear.”

Planting non-existent traitors among the executives was to sow mutual suspicion and prevent them from cooperating. It is difficult to inform other executives that the traitor has been caught.

“Above all, I wonder if other executives will believe what Phillips says.”

At a meeting of executives, after putting Phillips in the forefront, other executives would not believe him if he said, “I heard he betrayed you?”

In the end, it’s important to grab solid evidence. But how do we get the evidence for the murder conspiracy?

“Are you going to catch the attacker?”
“Huh.”
“I think so.”

Johannes is targeting Hergel and Germi. And maybe we, who are in the same team as Germi, will aim for it together.

However, since we said that we will attack Germi after we get the Spider Queen from Elena, she won’t attack us unless we bring the Spider Queen. If you do, the conclusion that Johannes will preemptively target is Hergel.

“The key is figuring out when to attack Hergel. What do you guys think?”
“Um…”

Each one rests his chin, crosses his arms, or pouting his lips while concentrating on his thoughts. Roin said as he opened his closed eyes.

“Let’s think about the purpose of the attack.”
“Purpose? It’s purpose… From what I heard from Philips, Hergel and Germi were instigated by Herendal, who wanted revenge. When Germi and Hergel died, he said he would hand over all the businesses he would inherit.”

Herendal instigated Johannes to kill Hergel and Germi. The motive is vengeance. Herendal has no power or anything. So the importance of him is not high. The important thing is Johannes, who was ordered to do so.

What he wants is all the business rights that Germi and Hergel have.

“Hergel said that after handing over the organization and business to Germi, he would go up to the capital.”

After handing over everything to Germi, Hergel has nothing left. In fact, the act of killing him is tantamount to scratching and scalding for Johannes.

However, the reason why he had to take the risk and kill Hergel was because of his promise to Herendal.

So Johannes would want to kill Hergel as quietly and secretly as possible.

“After handing over all authority to Germi, wouldn’t he be aiming for before or while going up to the capital? By that time, he will be virtually retired, so other executives will be less interested, and he will not be accompanied by escorts.”
“Or would you rather tell Mr. Hergel about Johannes’ betrayal?”

I thought deeply about Natalya’s words. How will Hergel react if he finds out that Johannes is trying to kill him?

Shall we admire Germi’s ability to obtain information in advance? No, I don’t know. He cannot predict what action he will take.

What are the benefits of sharing information with Hergel?

Hergel’s crush?

It has already been promised to hand over everything to Germi. He would not benefit from receiving more favors from him.

Rather, he cannot react to sudden variables because he does not know what action Hegel will take after learning the information.

And if Johannes reacts sensitively to Hergel’s changes, the information he obtained from Phillips becomes useless.

Johannes may suspect that his information has been leaked, and that puts Phillips, the informant tucked inside him, at risk.

It doesn’t matter if he’s dead or not, but it’s a waste because he’s an informant.

No matter how much you think about it, there is no benefit. No, it’s rather a loss.

“Um…”

So what if you don’t share the information?

Everything will proceed as originally scheduled.

At the end of the week, Hergel will hand over all powers to Germi and retire, and Johannes will try to kill Hergel as soon as he leaves the city.

You can stop Johannes’ plan by appearing aiming for that time.

Above all, it is possible to catch the circumstance of a certain betrayal on the spot.

No matter how you think about it, the benefits of not sharing are greater than the benefits of sharing information.

I shook my head at Natalia’s question.

“If that happens, I don’t know what action Hergel will take. Let’s keep it a secret from Hergel. My guess is that Hergel will be after him after he leaves the city.”
“If we move, we will move by carriage, and the only way to the capital is through the eastern gate. After leaving the city, you want to catch the guy who attacks Hergel, right?”

He nodded at Germi’s words.

“Huh. I can’t wait to see what you’ll do.”

The actions of the hogu bastards are as clear as the palm of your hand. I see a future of more than an angel million catching Johannes.

“It is a battle already won. Now, the only thing to worry about is after catching the evidence of betrayal…”

Above all, how should I use it once I have the clear evidence of betrayal?

The thought of cooking and eating Johannes already makes my mouth water.

“Since we don’t want the traitor to come to the surface, we won’t inform the executives of Johannes’ betrayal, right?”
“Yes. It should be.”
“Or why don’t we just assassinate him before he attacks Hergel?”
“Assassination?”

Roin nodded at my question.

“Yeah, I’ve been to his house before, so it shouldn’t be difficult to hide. Besides, if one of the executives dies, the other executives won’t feel more dangerous about the traitor’s existence. Then, wouldn’t Hanseong be more afraid of the executives as you wanted?”

I stroked my chin at Roin’s suggestion.

I want the cadres to question everything. I hope that even if you see your own shadow, you will be frightened. Like a tortoise hidden in its shell, it shrinks, and the more it shrinks, the more it believes and follows my words. That’s why they need an unknown traitor to threaten them.

“No, I don’t think assassination is a good method.”
“Why? Don’t you believe me?”

Roin came into my arms as if whining. Germi, who had been watching from the sidelines, stiffened his tail as his overwhelmingly soft chest was crushed against his lower body.

“Float, get off! You are in a meeting!”
“Hey… Roin, rubbing his chest like that lowers his intelligence.”
“Oh, that can’t be…”

It was dangerous. My head spins well when I touch it with my hand, but when it touches my cock, it’s a different story. It just makes me think about sex.

He hurriedly shook her head to shake off her thoughts.

“I think if he’s a loin, he’ll be able to sneak in and kill him. But that’s too much.”
“Is it excessive?”
“The existence of an invisible traitor poses a sufficient threat to the executives. It’s easy for them to become suspicious of each other and dependent on the boss, Germi. But if one of the executives dies, the story changes. They will tremble in fear that they will die next time, and that fear is likely to lead to resentment towards the boss, Germi, who cannot catch the traitor.”
“So you’re saying that until Johannes attacks Hergel, he can’t be killed?”
“Yes. Even after catching them, if you reveal your identity, you won’t be able to reap the reward, so the damage is serious. So, to get the most benefit, he should take advantage of the attack on Hergel as a weakness.”

I will seize his weaknesses and devour his marrow.

Think carefully about how to use it.
