Chapter 260: I, Vice Chairman Theo, Don't Make the Same Mistake Twice, Meow!
TL: Hanguk
While Sejun was engaged in a nerve-wracking standoff with Elge Caiman,
Kona, are you alright, meow?
Peng Lord Theo
Theo was looking after his subordinate, Kona.
At that moment,
Do you even know who I am?
Sejuns voice, questioning Elge Caiman, reached Theos ears.
Sejun, trusting Theo and Cuengi who were hanging onto his leg, was actually warning Elge Caiman not to mess around, but
Chairman Park, this is frustrating, meow! How does this guy know Chairman Park, huh? Puhuhut. It seems that I, Vice Chairman Theo, must step in and introduce Chairman Park, meow!
Theo thought Sejun was genuinely expecting an answer from the opponent.
Puhuhut. If youre asking who Chairman Park is, its only right to answer, meow! Since you seem to not know him, I, Vice Chairman Theo, the great right hand of Chairman Park, will introduce him, meow!
Theo, hanging on Sejuns leg, was revving up to introduce Sejun, and Sejun watched with a subtle anticipation to hear what Theo would say.
However,
Whats with this poop-colored cat?! Get lost!
Already irritated at being challenged by someone he deemed insignificant, Elge Caiman was further annoyed by another meddling figure and shouted at Theo with a voice full of annoyance.
Haak! Shut up, meow!
Thwack!
How dare you call me, the Golden Cat Theo Park, poop-colored, meow?! Enraged, Theo moved swiftly and knocked out Elge Caiman with a blow to the face after being called poop-colored.
Chairman Park is none other than my master, the great Black Dragons subordinate, the deadly Dragon Clawed, Golden Cat Theo Park, meow!
Theo proudly introduced Sejun to Elge Caimans guards.
Ta-da!
While pointing at Sejun with his two front paws, Theo signaled his siblings to do the same. Join in, meow!
Krueng!
Following Theos lead, Cuengi pointed at Sejun with his front paws, and the Golden Bat did the same with its wings.
This certainly made Sejun stand out more than before.
Introducing someone not as someones right hand, but as the right hands someone. This unique introduction method could only be used when the right hands reputation was high.
After hearing Theos words, Elge Caimans guards still knew nothing about Sejun.
But,
Golden Cat Theo Park?!
They clearly heard the term Golden Cat.
Golden Cat Theo Park. A hot new star in the Black Tower recently, known for resolving the merchant passageway disappearance case and saving the life of the Legendary Merchant Uren.
But more impressive than that was the vast network of Golden Cat Theo Park.
Friend of the 99th floor boss of the tower, the Minotaur King.
Lover of the great Wizard of Destruction, Iona.
Benefactor of the Legendary Merchant Uren.
Each connection in his network was truly incredible.
Moreover, there was a recent rumor that one of the top three beauties of the Black Tower, the Legendary Merchant Mimyr, offered her fur to get closer to Golden Cat Theo Park.
If such Golden Cat Theo Park is the right hand of that man
Elge Caimans guards realized something was terribly wrong as they looked at Sejun.
At that moment,
Chairman Park, here it is, meow!
Theo, who had swiftly obtained Elge Caimans thumbprint, brought a blank contract to Sejun.
Huh?! This is Vice Chairman Theo, well done.
Sejun praised Theo upon seeing the contract.
Puhuhut. Of course, meow! I am an excellent Vice Chairman, meow!
While Theo, pleased with Sejuns praise, nuzzled his face into Sejuns lap,
Ssssh. Ssssh.
Sejun began to fill out the blank contract.
While Sejun was writing on the blank contract brought by Theo,
Ugh! You guys
It would have been better if he had stayed unconscious Elge Caiman woke up, thanks to the protective items he was wearing.
Do you realize what youve done?! How dare you mess with the Third Prince of the Caiman Kingdom?! Do you understand?! This means war!
Elge Caiman, unaware that his slave contract was being processed, began to spout as soon as he stood up.
Your Highness
The guards hurried to shut Elge Caimans mouth, but
Let go! I need to show these brats what fear is!
Elge Caiman was already blinded by rage.
But in reality it seemed like they, the guards of Elge Caiman, were the ones about to witness something terrifying.
Meanwhile,
Grrrr.
As Elge Caiman emitted a murderous intent towards Sejun and the animals, he only aggravated the situation.
Gulp.
Exposed to Elge Caimans murderous intent, Sejun inadvertently swallowed his saliva, showing his discomfort. It was bearable, but unpleasant.
And as Sejun showed his discomfort,
Meow?!
Krueng?!
(Pip?!)
Kyoo-?!
The animals sensitively reacted to Sejuns state and emitted their own killing intent.
Of course, having learned through much experience to always take care of Sejun, the animals ensured that Sejun was not exposed to their killing intent.
Press.
Theo placed one of his front paws on Sejuns leg and continued to heal him with healing magic,
Whirr.
Cuengi enveloped Sejuns surroundings with telekinesis,
()
The Golden Bat emitted an incredibly high-frequency sound, inaudible to Sejun, to protect him,
Barrier.
Iona used magic to block the murderous intent directed at Sejun.
Thanks to them, Sejun was in a state as peaceful as if he were wearing noise-canceling headphones, but
Shiver, shiver, shiver.
Elge Caiman, the focus of the animals killing intent, couldnt even faint due to his high-quality protective gear and shook uncontrollably, wetting his pants.
Thats the great Wizard of Destruction Iona?!
Elge Caiman, who belatedly noticed Iona on Theos tail, realized something had gone terribly wrong.
Who have I provoked?
Just as Elge Caiman realized Sejun was no ordinary individual,
Greetings, Lord Sejun!
Ulrich, the King of the Black Orcs, approached Sejun and greeted him respectfully.
Ah, Ulrich, youre here?
Yes. Greetings to you too, Lord Theo.
Thats right, meow! Is my subordinate Ulrich doing well, meow?!
And then,
Lord Sejun, greetings! We have arrived as well.
Hegel, the chieftain of the Black Wolf tribe, and Elka, the chieftain of the Silver Wolf tribe, also approached to greet Sejun.
Hi. Hello.
While Sejun was exchanging greetings,
Kwieek!
Ook!
Doodoo!
The chestnut hedgehog, banana monkey, and the moles, upon spotting Sejun, hurried towards him.
And then,
Pause.
After a moment of surprise upon seeing Elge Caiman,
Kwieek!
Ook!
Doodoo!
[Great Black Dragon Lord Sejun, that guy stole the gifts meant for the Black Rabbit King!]
They grinned and whispered into Sejuns ear about Elge Caimans misdeeds. After all, on one side was just a third prince from a kingdom on the 84th floor of the tower, but on the other was the Great Black Dragon ruling the Black Tower.
What?! He stole more gifts meant for the Black Rabbit?
Kwieek!
Ook!
Doodoo!
The animals vigorously nodded in response to Sejuns question. This guy was a real scoundrel.
Doodoo!
[My friends gift was also stolen!]
Other friends were stolen too? Got it. Bring everyone who was robbed.
Kwieek!
Ook!
Doodoo!
As the animals left to bring the additional victims who had their belongings stolen by Elge Caiman,
Ssssh. Ssssh.
Sejun began to add more content to the blank contract.
***
When the leaders of the nine dragon tribes gathered at the residence of the Silver Dragon Crisella Hisron, and took their places,
Kaiser, tell us now. What did you eat earlier?
Krisella, acting as the spokesperson, asked Kaiser.
First, if you want to hear my answer, give me all your Tower Coins.
Tower Coins?
Well, alright.
When Kaiser asked for the seemingly useless Tower Coins as the price for his information, the dragons readily handed over all the Tower Coins they possessed to him.
You two should contribute as well.
Kaiser reached out his hand to Kellion and Ramter.
Stingy guy.
So stingy.
Kellion and Ramter, aware of Kaisers scheme but unable to resist, complied.
Hehehe. Thanks.
Thanks to this, Kaiser managed to collect a little over 10 billion Tower Coins. Adding the money he earned from defeating Halphas earlier, it seemed like he would have around 25 billion Tower Coins.
Now, tell us.
Alright. That was a bean obtained from the Five-Colored Beans grown by our Tower Farmer.
That bean was grown by the Tower Farmer?!
The dragons stirred at Kaisers words. Until now, the crops grown by the Tower Farmer were just minor snacks for the dragons, nothing of great significance.
They were something to boast about when occasionally meeting with other dragons.
However, if the Tower Farmers crops could explosively enhance the dragons abilities, that changed everything.
With Kaisers words, the atmosphere among the dragons completely shifted.
Six dragons who were thinking of having their own Tower Farmers grow crops similar in effect to what Kaiser had consumed, and
My grandson Ajax sigh I need to quickly gather money to reserve those beans from Sejun.
With the cost of liquor and beans, I need to earn a lot of money.
Two dragons opted to solve it with money.
And then,
Hehehe. With this money, I can make our Sejun stronger, right?
One dragon who wasnt interested in the crops but wanted to use the money to strengthen the Tower Farmer.
Well, I have things to do, so I must leave now.
Ahem. Me too.
Me as well.
With that, the dragons, now in a hurry, quickly returned to their respective domains.
***
These fools, just you wait!
Elge Caiman, despite having spotted the great wizard of destruction Iona, did not lose hope,
Ulrich, the King of the Black Orcs with an army of 5 million,
Hegel and Elka, the leaders of the Black & Silver Wolf Mercenary Group, who were recently gaining fame in the tower.
The leaders of these two forces appeared and respectfully greeted the seemingly insignificant figure before them, behaving like subordinates, but Elge Caiman held onto hope.
He believed the military aspect could be resolved soon with the arrival of his fathers sworn brother.
The only remaining issue was one thing.
If I just steal that
Ssssh. Ssssh.
Elge Caiman eyed Sejun, who was writing on the blank contract, waiting for an opportunity.
If he could just snatch the contract bearing his print and use a contract nullification potion, all his problems would be solved.
At that moment,
Uncle Hannibal, please help me! I am Elge Caiman, the Third Prince of the Caiman Kingdom!
Elge Caiman called out to a giant humanoid tiger who had just arrived at the wedding venue.
His father Croker Caimans sworn brother and the Chairman of the Mercenary Association, Hannibal.
Being the chairman of the Mercenary Association, Hannibal was on the same level as Iona, one of the leaders of the three major forces, and could exert a strong influence on the Black & Silver Wolf Mercenary Group, which was also a group of mercenaries.
With this, the balance of power is set.
Ah, Elge? But whats with the atmosphere? Dont tell me you guys messed with my nephew?!
Sssshhh.
Hannibal, the butcher of battlefields, raised his killing intent at his nephews call for help.
The atmosphere at the wedding venue instantly turned cold again.
Kyoo-kyoo-kyoo-kyoo, Hannibal, your nephew was the one who crossed the line first!
Thats right! Lets talk it out first!
Chairman, youre making a mistake!
Iona, Hegel, and Elka tried to persuade Hannibal.
Ahem. If you say so, I will listen first
For the first time witnessing Ionas stage-four fury, Hannibal softened his stance.
Knowing Hegel and Elka werent the type to cause trouble, he decided to have a discussion first.
Just as Hannibal was about to resolve the matter through discussion,
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh.
Elge Caiman, seizing the moment, used a teleportation item to move beside Sejun and poured the contract nullification potion on the contract.
The effectiveness of a contract nullification potion decreases with the higher status of the contract holder and the longer duration of the contract.
However, the rank of the opponent was low enough for him to feel insignificant, and the contract duration was short, as it was made just a moment ago.
The chance of nullifying the contract was 100%.
However,
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh.
The contents of the contract did not disappear.
What?! How can this be?
Elge Caiman was flustered.
Whats this? Why are there two names?
Party A: Aileen Pritani, Park Sejun
Party B: Elge Caiman
He belatedly discovered there was another name in the Party A section of the contract.
Theo, having been tricked once by Mimyr, had learned his lesson. Aileen, please sign this, meow! Before handing over the contract to Sejun, Theo had obtained Aileens seal.
With Aileens exalted status, the chances of the contract being nullified were almost zero.
Puhuhut. I, Vice Chairman Theo, dont make the same mistake twice, meow!
Theo, placing his front paws proudly on his waist, laughed triumphantly.
