The Regressor Sells Giyeon 107

Chapter 107 – Jangbo-Do

#107.

“Sit down.”
“Yes. Thank you.”

Compared to the shabby general store, the inside of the reception room was luxurious. It was a bit cramped because there was no window to avoid the eyes of the outside world, but it wasn’t a place to stay for a long time anyway, so it didn’t bother me too much.

Gaon and his party were able to talk in earnest only after sticking their buttocks on the sofa according to the guidance of the dark merchant.

“You said you came to broker a deal. Can I see your goods?”

Her words were polite, but her expression implicitly showed her determination not to deal with anything other than a really valuable item. Looking forward to seeing what kind of reaction Gaon would react to this, he took out a piece of Jangbodo from his subspace pocket.

As a result of checking for a week, it was confirmed that one of the five Jangbodo roads collapsed in the middle. And since they had to use the other one, they could sell three copies.

But it’s hard to give them all up now.
What do you believe in and take risks? One copy is enough to confirm that this is genuine.

The dark merchant stared at Gaon as if asking for a doctor when he saw Jangbodo, and when he nodded, he slowly picked it up and unfolded it.

“Hmm!? This…”
“It’s Jangbodo.”
“Jangbo too? Whose jangbodo is it?”
“This is Sintu’s Jangbodo. I found it in an anthill.”
“Shinto!!”

In the Barrymore estate, there is no one except a newborn baby who does not know the legend of Shintou. This is because it is famous here enough for parents to read it to their children with a fairytale-like feel.

Of course, the black merchant who knew about the legend of Sintu could not hide his surprise when he saw Jang Bo-do. There was an instant of greed in those eyes.

He probably thought that if he had this, he wouldn’t have to rot in this shabby general store anymore, but Gaon couldn’t just let it go.

Right away, he roughly released the momentum of the storm that was dormant in the battle, and focused his sharp killing power on the dark merchant and the assassins surrounding him.

“Abandon unnecessary greed. You don’t even know if it’s real yet, do you?”
“Ugh… !”

The dark merchant’s face turned pale. No matter how much he worked for Lucipheon, his body was only at the level of an ordinary person. There was no way he could easily handle Gaon’s momentum.

Of course, it is impossible to kill greed with this alone. It’s probably going to stop at just trying to eat it all by myself, but going through Lucileon to share it.

Gaon went on to say more.

“Be cool. Do you think it makes sense that only this group of people could find something that no one else had been looking for for hundreds of years? Think slowly. Whose letter of introduction did we receive? What will happen because of that?”

With Viscount Kielun’s influence, Lucipheon could only do very little damage. But that minor damage is important. If the matter about Jang Bo-do leaks out, he will unconditionally try to cut his tail, but who will be the tail that gets cut off in that case?

Needless to say, the black merchant in front of you will be tossed around. His expression hardened seriously as if he had guessed that himself.

“Then decide. Are you satisfied with just getting a moderately safe brokerage fee? Or gamble. Just in case, you’d better not trust the assassins too much. My hands are faster than them.”

Giving his last warning, Gaon shifted his gaze and stared at five places. It was a place where all assassins were hiding.

In that action, the dark merchant let out a long sigh and put down the jangbodo, as if he had abandoned all his worries.

“I have committed a great disrespect. Please forgive me.”
“Of course. I don’t want to fall out with Lucipheon over just this. It’s about shopping, because it’s nothing compared to the things we’ll be dealing with in the future.”
“… Yes? What did you just say?”
“He said it wasn’t that great compared to the things he’d be entrusted with in the future.”

The dark merchant’s mouth fell open. It was because I never thought that Shintou’s Jangbodo would be treated like this.

And the next one will be in doubt. Is what this person is saying real or fake? And if he’s real, how much will he gain if he stays in the relationship.

The dark merchant swallowed his saliva and opened his mouth pretending to be calm.

“Come to think of it, I haven’t even introduced myself yet. My name is Linvador. I look forward to.”
“I am on vacation. I wish you well too.”

Thinking that he had passed the dangerous part, Gaon held out his hand with a smile. At that clear sign of affection, Linvador smiled brightly inappropriately and took her hand.

Gaon, who had been shaking hands for a while, said after letting go of his hand without regret.

“I’m trying to trade Jang Bo-do with the Pennewal Guild. Are you able to connect?”
“Are you talking about the Pre-New Guild? It’s presumptuous, but wouldn’t it be better to trade with other nobles? Right now, the lord of this estate is there. That way we can make more money.”

If money was the only goal, he would have done that, but Gaon has a different purpose. He shook his head resolutely.

“I will make a deal with the Pre-New Guild. No, to be precise, it should be seen as all three guilds representing Barrymore.”
“Yes? Are you saying that the three guilds will do business with all of the iron brothers and Kritika in addition to the pre-new? That’s troubling.”

Linvador cried. Anyway, it’s not a scam. If this spreads outward, Lucipheon’s credibility will suffer a great blow.

In that case, he would be responsible for all of that. Of course, he has to take responsibility for it with his life.

Gaon asked why he suddenly said something strange, and while looking straight into Linvador’s eyes, he took out two long presses from his bosom.

“I never said that Jang Bo-do was one piece. All of them have different routes written down, so there will be no unnecessary noise.”
“Omg! Ha, not one, but three!!”

Linvador’s breathing became rough. He seemed to be dreaming of a rosy future, and the corners of his mouth were drooping, so he put Jang Bodo back into his bosom.

Then he sighed with a pitiful expression, then came to his senses and cleared his throat.

“Kuhm! If it’s true, it’s unlikely that things will get complicated. If you say so, I understand. Of course, you’re thinking of meeting all three guilds separately, right?”
“Yes. I ask you to completely hide my identity.”
“Of course! Then, it will take some time to evaluate, so please have some refreshments in the meantime.”

Linvador laughed and stood up from his seat. I guess I’m going to call a commodities appraiser. Gaon looked at Chorin and Hayeon and nodded.

“Yes. Then go and come. I’ll be waiting for you.”
“Yes! Excuse me for a second!”

Linvador quickly prepared refreshments and left the reception room. He was so happy that his squirming steps were unsightly.

And after a while, Linvador appeared sullenly following a woman.

The dirty blonde, brown-eyed woman made eye contact with her gaon, and she laughed intriguedly, then sat down opposite her and opened her mouth.

“I heard you brought a jangbodo. I’m Lena Altrima, the head of the Lucipeon branch here in the Barrymore estate. Please take good care of me.”

It is the way of speaking that it is certain that what Gaon brought was Shintou’s Jangbodo. Even though Linvador said to call an item appraiser, she came alone, so it seems that this woman is also capable of appraisal.

Gaon glanced at Linvador, then looked away from him, noticing that his guess was correct, and greeted him.

“… It’s vacation. I really wish you well. I didn’t know that the branch manager would come.”
“If it’s Shinto’s shopping list, of course you should come. Not just one, but three.”

She said she didn’t know the horse would come, but in fact Gaon also knew. It is also a treasure trove of Shinto. There was no way that such an important agenda would not go up to the branch manager.

Immediately after being ushered into the waiting room, Gaon felt an assassin disappear. Maybe that’s when he went to report.

‘I’m glad though.’

I thought it could be dangerous depending on the disposition of the branch manager here, but it seemed to be quite moderate.

Of course, that doesn’t mean you can be careless. He shows a favorable attitude, but when he evaluates the quality and quantity of the branch manager’s magical power, his level is estimated to be 7 stars. That’s not a good opponent.

Gaon sent a telephonic tone to Chorin and Hayeon, who looked a bit nervous, calming them down and replying.

“Well, as long as I can complete the transaction perfectly, that’s fine. I’m relieved if the branch manager cares about me. Thanks in advance.”
“Hmm… , But from what I’ve heard, you seem to have a lot of interesting things besides Sintu’s grocery store. Do you have any plans to dispose of it together now?”

It seems that you heard the story from Linvador. When the branch manager asks, the lower-level staff can’t help but answer. Gaon thought it was natural and answered Lena’s question.

“Do you believe that?”
“Sure. You’re the one who brought three copies of Shintu’s shopping cart? If you don’t trust this person, who should you trust? So, do you have any ideas?”

Quite obsessive As expected, this should be enough for Lucipeon’s branch manager to have more than one. Gaon shook his head while calmly thinking about the opportunities he could get near the Barrymore estate.

“I have no idea yet. Right now, the priority is to deal with grocery shopping.”
“Is that so? Then you can’t help it. Please come back whenever you need it later. … From now on, you can come here.”

As if to give up immediately, the branch manager put his upper body back to its original state, took out a business card from his pocket, scrawled a pen behind it, and handed it over.

「Mirnia, the upper part of the upper rank of Mirnia.」

It was a calling card for a disguised identity. On the back, the address was written in detail, so there was no need to worry about finding it.

Gaon, who took turns checking her front and back several times, took a business card in her arms and Lena stood up.

“It will probably take a few days until contact with the three guilds. If an appointment is set, I’ll send someone to the inn to inform you of the deal date. Can I do this?”
“I would appreciate it if you would do that. We’ll see it on trade day.”
“Whoops… Enough then.”

The branch manager, who exchanged greetings with Gaon, walked out of the reception room at a quick pace, probably busy with work. After she was gone, Linvador, who had been squashed to one side of her, approached.

Haha… , Sorry, vacationers. I didn’t even think that the branch manager would come suddenly. From now on, you can go to the Mirnia Merchants.”
“Yes. Mr. Linvador also did a good job. So, is the item appraisal over?”
“Ah yes! That’s right. It has been confirmed as genuine, so you can go.”

Linvador’s attitude was much more polite than before. That’s right, it was only natural that the shopping cart turned out to be genuine, and even the branch manager became an interested VIP guest.

Gaon said goodbye to Linvador one last time and returned to the inn.

And the very next day.

Lucipheon’s contact came to the inn’s annex.
