“Wh… That is nonsense…

There was something about Jung Hayan that emitted a sense of fear these people could not explain. Hayan’s hair slowly rose as she fought to suppress her magic power, her pupils unblinking, and her face emotionless.

I didn’t know if it was due to the Mind’s Eye’s effect, but in the deepest part of her pupils, I could even sense madness.

‘Wow…’

Overall, she emitted a dangerous feeling.

In a way, the fact that she could instill fear in people only with that expression was already a talent. It was as if a dark shadow was weighing down on everyone except me.

“It’s not…nonsense.”

‘Ah, I’m definitely cancelling that thought of marriage.’

I did not want to die due to her anger. In fact, I already knew that Jung Hayan had gotten stronger. I was just not able to focus much on her as I was too busy stressing about my own stats, which were lacking compared to Yuno Kasugano’s and Cha Hee-ra’s.

Perhaps the reason why she had not caused any trouble for me was because she was busy. During the times when we were not together, she had focused solely on her magic. Thus, it was only normal for her to get stronger.

This was what one would call a genius.

[Checking the status window and talent levels of the player Jung Hayan.]

[Name: Jung Hayan]

[Title: None. You should try a little harder.]

[Age: 21]

[Disposition: A Supporter Who is in Love]

[Sacred Protection: Rare 1602)

[Attribute: How to Become a Wizard: Hero]

[Overall: The magic power stat has exceeded 80. Although it is a stat that considers the item’s effect, it is quite absurd to say that it is shown by a player who is less than a year old. Of course, her other stats are relatively horrible, so it is impossible to say that this is balanced growth, but what she shows is quite absurd. It’s good to have a fast growth rate, but it may be overwhelming, so you need to help her achieve balanced growth. Of course, taking care of her mental health comes first. Please try, Player Lee Kiyoung.)

Currently, Jung Hayan’s magic power was higher than Hwang Jeongyeon’s. As the overall said, it was hard to believe that a player who had been here for less than a year had grown this much.

Of course, thanks to her one-track mind, the rate of increase in other stats was poor, but this was enough already. Jung Hayan already possessed the stats to be called a high rank on this continent. No, she, who originally already was a genius talent for magic, now had more value than she looked.

After thinking about this, I glanced at Jung Hayan one more time, only to see the same terrifying expression.

‘Wow…’

Our Little Rock Master, who could be said to be of a high level in its own way, seemed to be wielding resistive influence, but those behind him were in turmoil. When Jungwook raised his own magic, the guys behind him sighed with relief.

“Phew… phew…”

“Hayan, you have to loosen up your face.”

“Yes…”

“I’m sorry about this. My girlfriend seems to be in a bad mood today. If it weren’t for you, we would have been enjoying a date until now. Ahem. Well, to continue on, I have the power to make what you call impossible, possible.”

“I don’t think you believe it, so I’m going to tell you in a very simple manner. There is also a way to ask Marlin Young-ae, but there is also a way to hang for religious reasons. It is possible to completely destroy the market economy by scattering very low-cost potions, and merchandise on Castle Rock, as well as transferring Lindel’s high ranked free people to Castle Rock. Ah! Wouldn’t it be nice if the Red Mercenary had a branch in Castle Rock? It would be a good idea to ask Hee-ra about doing business.”

“What will happen if I bring the Japanese Sora Guild here, run by Yuno Kasugano and me? It will cost a little bit of initial investment, but we will build a huge potion factory in Castle Rock. Small rock is also entering the potion business, right? I don’t know how much you’re selling right now, but I can afford to sell at half the price you sell.”

“What if I sell the monster by-products, the source of your income, to Castle Rock? And for cheaper. Or maybe I can buy this land you are stepping on right now. Hahaha. Since you are a free people, you can rent and use the land in Castle Rock, but I can buy the land under the title of Honorary Bishop.”

“Of course, if you find this dirty, you can just move to another city. There, you can develop the region in the spirit of a young artist once again. By the time you reach your peak, I’ll go and pick up the sweet fruits you’ve worked hard to grow. Anywhere in the Holy Empire of Benigore, it doesn’t matter.”

“You… crazy…”

“Even if you go back to Lindel… Even if you remain in Castle Rock… Even if you move to a completely different city, I will continue to watch over you. If you want to avoid me, you’ll either have to go into the Republic or the Kingdom Coalition, or stay in the mountains and commit crimes and live your life.”

“If my words sound like a lie, try it out.”

A quiet stillness took place, even quieter than when Jung Hayan went to intimidate them.

My words wouldn’t sound like a simple joke. As evidence of that, Song Jungwook’s complexion was now quite pale.

Of course, it was impossible for me to do all those troublesome things.

Selling the monster’s by-products at Lindel as well as building a potion factory here would surely be a loss for me. One or two smart guys might think, ‘Is that possible?’, but this was a slightly different thing from the possibility of realization.

What if this bastard was crazier than we thought?

What if this guy could really harass me for pure malice, even after throwing away all the gains he has?

The moment he would think about this, it would be game over. I had to deal the final blow.

It was fun to see that when I opened my mouth quietly, the reaction immediately came.

“I mean, money and power. It is a device that makes it possible for people like me to be on the powerful side in this world, where power comes first. I understand that they have great pride because they have established themselves due to their individual strength. You guys hitting me with the gentle force you have is like hitting rocks with eggs.”

“If you’re not strong enough to break the frame of society, it’s your role to fall flat and quiet. What do you think I’ve done to someone who didn’t? How do you think I am where I am, considering I’ve been here for less than a year? Huh? Can you understand me? There are two options. Will you be a young artist? Or will you become a parasite that sucks honey from the giant capital?”

Even if I didn’t ask, the answer would be obvious.

“W-What can I do? Blue Vice Guild Master.”

At this point, Jung Songwook had become polite.

“You chose the correct answer. I am really glad to avoid annoyance, Little Rock Guild Master. Hahaha. I think we can have a proper meeting now. Very good.”

I didn’t know what he was thinking inwardly, but on the outside, he fell flat. It didn’t matter if it was sincere or not. Anyway, getting them wasn’t the important thing here to me.

“Hahahahaha. Isn’t there a place that is a bit comfortable, instead of an uncomfortable office? Oh, my friend over there. It’s a good day, bring some drinks. Is this okay, Little Rock Guild Master?”

“Yes… of course. Youngcheol… As he said… It would be better to bring something to drink.”

“Yes. Master.”

“Hahaha. It’s not good to drink by myself. You should drink with me, Little Rock Guild Master. Hayan can also be a little comfortable. What would you like to drink?”

“Yes… Yes! Oppa, milk is enough for me.”

“You heard her, right, Youngcheol? I think it would be better to bring some snacks as well. Ah! And I brought the contract in advance.”

“Yes.”

“You can read it slowly. I don’t want anything big. You know I run a potion factory. It’s a waste to use good quality potions alone. Isn’t that why I came running here with the news that Castle Rock had a lack of priests? It’s all for Castle Rock.”

“That… Thank you for thinking about us, Blue Vice Guild Master.”

“I am thinking about supplying potions to the large guilds in Castle Rock on a regular basis. Of course, it’s not free, yet it’s very cheap. Oh, I guess you should see the product first.”

“Ah, of course…”

Jong Sungwook was clearly not expecting much, but the product itself was clearly good. It was ridiculous to see that potions made by me were much cheaper. It proved better to increase my brand’s value.

“Take a look.”

[Red Health Recovery Potion: Rare]

[It is a potion that has an excellent recovery effect that heals wounds. It has an upper-intermediate healing effect. It stops either poisoning or bleeding. After taking a dose, the target’s endurance increases slightly for a certain period. Producer: Lee Kiyoung]

As I rummaged in my bag and pulled out the potion, I saw their eyes widen. Song Jungwook had begun to look at me strangely. He was clearly not expecting this from me, yet I knew nothing in this world was free. My plan was, after all, to establish a clear power relationship and, at the same time, receive a high price for it.

“The price is low, 40 gold.”

“Ah…”

“40 gold in a bottle.”

“I-Isn’t it too expensive…?”

“Hahaha. Expensive? Little Rock Guild Master. You are reading the effects of the item, right? It’s just the right price. I know that you have the capacity to buy this. Your hunting efficiency will also increase, so there will be no problem.”

“O-Our guild does not have the capacity to purchase this potion for 40 gold. If you are going to sell in bulk, even more… If you think about it, 20 gold is the Maginot line. Considering the quantity written in the contract, the price that goes out annually is tens of thousands of…”

“It’s 40 gold.”

“30 gold… C-Can’t it be?”

“Hahaha. I’m going to be disappointed, Little Rock Guild Master. Saying that you want it for 30 gold, wouldn’t it be like daylight robbery? It’s 40 gold.”

“Then…”

“It’s 40 gold.”

“O-Okay.”

“You just need to sign the contract. You don’t have to worry too much. I’ll set some aside for you. I am a very generous person to the ones on my side. Haha.”

“Okay…” “Well, well, well. Please, sign up here! You will be able to get the potions right away.”

A beautiful situation where only I was satisfied? This was what I would call a real business.
