Chapter 451 – #4-15 Bargaining, Hero Olivia and Villain #13 (2)
Villain 13 was still in a state of surprise.
That would be the case too, because Olivia’s side had asked for a contact, saying they wanted to meet him.
Of course, there was no clear point of contact between Olivia and Unit 13, so it was the staff who acted as a broker under the name of 【Market】 who relayed the story.
【Market】The broker of unknown gender named is actually not one person――One Information OrganizationAm.
It consists of about five people, and each of them shares the information they have and uses it as a broker in the area where each of them can.
And in return, it’s an organization that gets paid or other information, the more you know, the darker the organization.
The staff member had participated as a member of the organization for a long time, and Apple leaked information about the [Market] To which the staff member belonged through Topaz, Olivia’s henchman.
It was thanks to that that I was able to know in detail about Olivia’s whereabouts and movements after coming to this country.
Work in both places is monitored or investigated by Apple in various ways and informed.
Most of the work in the shadows is a broker [Market]… In other words, I used to ask the staff.
Thanks to that, all kinds of information about Olivia was leaking into Room 13 even when she was just sitting there.
Of course, Olivia herself in front of her eyes would not be aware of that fact at all.
Anyway.
Anyway, Unit 13 was quite surprised right now.
She suddenly pointed him directly and asked for a meeting.
Of course, there are some rough guesses.
However, he didn’t have to tell me that, so Number 13 stuck to his attitude and face that he didn’t know anything.
“So, I’d like to ask you to introduce yourself first. I just came here because the broker suddenly asked for it. They say that he is someone I must meet, but I don’t even know what his name is or what kind of status he is.”
“I’m sorry, but I can’t tell you that. I don’t want to reveal my name or identity as much as possible.”
“No, what is that—”
“So, are you Number 13? I heard that the boss of the [Abyss] Side is a woman, but I guess she didn’t come there? She said she wanted to see the boss too.”
She is a woman who cuts people off and only says what she wants to say.
Number 13, who was looking at her with her arms crossed, brought those eyebrows together.
He speaks to Olivia as if threatening with a small growl.
“There’s no way you bring the boss to a place where you don’t even know who the opponent is. More than that, what about your self-introduction? You want to play with me now? If I just go–“
“Warning.”
And, the words of #13, which continued with a slight threat, were cut off in the middle.
It was because Olivia solemnly cut off No. 13 as she raised one of her thin, pretty fingers.
It felt like the air was getting cold.
“Such tone, warning. You don’t know, but I’m a pretty great and high-ranking person. It’s a noble position. Please cover your words. Are you Korean? You know how to use respectful words, right?”
Olivia smiled brightly, but her eyes sent a cold gaze without the slightest smile, she said.
She waved her index finger, which she had lifted up, in the air.
“First of all, there is a warning ‘one’. I will endure until ‘two’. At ‘three’, I don’t know what the kids next to me will do.”
Women standing on either side of Olivia.
Both of them are young ladies with a young feeling, barely becoming a college student.
Both appeared to be Westerners, but one had a red color throughout, and the other had a noticeable blue color throughout.
With only their personal colors, No. 13 seemed to know the identities of the two.
Ruby red felt and lapis lazuli blue hat.
Apparently, that’s how spades and clubs are made…
“…”
Number 13 took turns looking at the two for a while, but soon avoided looking at them.
It was thought that I was pretending to know, but it is difficult to avoid unnecessary suspicion.
Also, since both of them were living their lives with that cold gaze, there was something that made them a little scared.
Ruby, whose red color was visible all over her hair, her eyes, and her clothes, was sending out her murderous intentions with her solemn and sullen face.
Likewise, the blue lapis lazuli side of her, from head to toe, smiled like a mischievous person, but only those eyes contained a cold-blooded killing intent.
She was standing on both sides of Olivia, and she was full of life.
Speaking of feeling, it was as if the woman named Olivia in front of her was pointing at her with a knife in each of her hands.
And No. 13 does not have the hobby of having a conversation with her sword in front of her, who does not know when it will be pulled out of her sheath.
No. 13 caught the attention of the two people who were living her life for a while, and she glared at Olivia and violently stood up from her seat.
Rattle! And the chair he was sitting on was pushed back.
“Do not be ridiculous. Did you come to threaten me? If you’re going to treat me like this, it won’t be worth hearing any more. I am going.”
“—Two warnings.”
Olivia’s single single smile, her solemn sentence fell.
Somehow, it felt like a knife had been thrust into her throat, but No. 13 forcibly shook it off.
No matter what happened
No way, she didn’t know that she was such a stubborn woman.
She thought that she might be able to get some information, that she might be able to come up with something useful, so she allowed the meeting… In this way, she hardly wants to be in the same place.
“Hey, right now… “
No matter what she said, #13 was going to tell her staff and get out of here right away.
And–
* ***
“… What?”
And, the next moment.
No. 13 was right in front of Olivia, sitting upright in her chair, blinking her eyes.
A stupid sound escaped from her mouth.
‘Uh… ? Why me… Are you sitting?’
Oddly enough.
Really weird.
Just for an instant, it seems that his memory was cut off.
A little while ago, he must have stood up from his seat and tried to escape from this place with the staff’s [Shadow Magic].
But suddenly.
Without knowing English.
I don’t know where… Her memory was cut off, as if the film had been cut off.
He would have stood up, but he had no idea why he was sitting down again.
“You are seated. Shouldn’t we have a talk?”
Another thing, a little different from before.
Olivia, who was sitting across from Room 13, was holding her tablet PC out in front of her.
A small tablet in her one hand and a tablet pen in the other.
See it
She must have used some ability, she did and she could only vaguely guess.
“We, don’t lose your strength for nothing.”
“Even though you are meeting an unidentified person, you still came to this place.”
“Wouldn’t it be as if the story had already ended there?”
“Do you really think it was your own will that you came to this place?”
Olivia said, twirling her pen in her hand, smiling gracefully.
Number 13 is still quietly sitting on the chair.
Unfolding even your arms, like a child scolded by an adult… No. 13 had her woman, who was smaller and dwarfed than her, in front of her and was looking at her with her straight posture.
No way, the will to rebel from him… I couldn’t see the willpower to leave this place.
“… That’s how it came to be, so don’t make it a hassle for nothing and stay calm.”
“I just want to make a deal.”
“If you just stay calm, and if you quietly listen to my request… I won’t do anything to harm. Safely, I’ll send you where you want to go.”
“Oh, and asking for respectful words is fine. It seems like a fool to expect courtesy from a man in the gutter like you. Take it easy.”
Olivia still giggles and says hers.
That smile was fresh, beautiful, and elegant.
But her words, her voice, were as if the blade of the guillotine had been brought directly to No. 13’s neck… It was solemn and irresistible.
No. 13 felt something like a special, invisible pressure controlling his body and will, and swallowed.
He no longer had the will to leave this position.
Oddly enough, indeed.
… Somehow, I think I know why Olivia took such a confident and arrogant attitude…
“Now then, we can barely talk properly. I wasted a bit of time needlessly, so let’s get to the point right away.”
“Your boss didn’t have to come here in the first place. Because you are the one we have business to see.”
“You said you knew Captain Rahe?”
“About Captain Grahe, we want to have a long talk with you.”
―Of course, rejection is not tolerated.
Olivia said that with a smile, half menacingly.
* ***
“I’ll say it straight–here, sign it.”
In front of Room 13, a piece of paper was put out.
A brief look at the contents revealed that it was like a contract that fully complied with Olivia’s request.
If there is something special about it, is it that all of it was written in handwriting?
“A matter related to Captain Rahe, I need some help from you. Well, it’s nothing grand… I just want to let many people know about the ‘truth’.”
So you don’t have to worry too much, Olivia said lightly.
Her Olivia’s purpose, as No. 13 had guessed, was about Rahe.
The other day, Olivia’s subordinate, Topaz, had intuition that No. 13 and Rahe were having a tryst.
It’s so absurd that it makes no sense.
Does this woman think that everything in the world revolves around her self, even if she thinks so?
“So, since Rahe doesn’t want to look like her and wants to trap her, help me, isn’t it? Why do I have to help with such childish grumbling?”
“Oh my, what you say is true. It’s not that kind of personal feeling. For the sake of justice, I have no choice but to uncover Captain Rahe’s crimes and expose them publicly. There shouldn’t be a hero who communicates with the villain.”
Do all the bullshit.
Or should I say that I speak well.
I wanted to throw at least one sarcastic remark, but I couldn’t tease my mouth now that I had already received two warnings.
“Well, it’s really nothing. If you sign a contract, we will provide a ‘scenario’ for you, and all you have to do is act according to the scenario.”
“It will be as usual. Meet Rahe, chat with her a little bit, have sex or whatever you do all the time — And you can shoot or record it.”
“If you need anything, we will provide it. Whether it’s a high-end hotel or the most advanced filming equipment… We will prepare whatever you want.”
