Northern powers.

Earl Douglas has recently been very uncomfortable with planting.

Quang!

You mean you haven t found those rats yet?

Sorry. We cleared out all the bandits active in the area, but the whereabouts of the slush funds could not be found.

The problem started with the Barco family.

Douglas and Barco.

The powers in the northern and northeast regions, respectively, formed a friendly relationship, starting with a relationship at a noble party.

There was nothing bad about each other.

Count Douglas did not have connections with the central government, but he exerted a certain influence as much as in the north, and Viscount Barco had connections that the Douglas family did not have.

mutual aid.

Although not enough to sacrifice for each other, they became close enough to help each other if necessary.

I didn't know then.

Such a relationship would cause problems.

Earl Douglas. Could you lend me some money?

one contact.

Before the war with Lawrence, Viscount Barco gathered as much money as possible by utilizing his personal connections in addition to the Golden Bank.

Defeat was an unacceptable fight.

It was necessary to prepare for any unforeseen variables, and added the money borrowed from friendly forces such as Earl Douglas to bring Homer to the river.

Earl Douglas was sure of Barco's victory.

I never thought that I would be defeated by Lawrence or something like that, so I lent a large sum of money to the thought of solidifying the relationship this time around.

It's money you'll get back soon.

Rip Lawrence to shreds would make a lot of money, so there was no chance Barco wouldn't pay it back.

By the way.

Barco lost.

It also died while escaping at night, and the existence to recover the money disappeared from the world.

The Douglas family was stunned.

It was too much money, so their circumstances were not good, and they had to get the money back anyway.

The problem was the existence of the Golden Bank.

They had already attacked the Barco family, and they had collected all that could be of money, and they did not have the courage to say that they would exercise their rights first.

kept silent.

Not giving up money.

Fortunately, Earl Douglas knew the only way to get his money back.

The Barco family has a slush fund that is not revealed to the outside world. Golden Bank could not accurately determine the existence of the slush fund, but I got a clue about the slush fund at a drinking party with Viscount Barco. Only if you have slush funds. You can earn more than the money you borrowed.

Hired the information guild.

After investigating the clues Viscount Barco said, he was able to find the slush fund.

A small amount of gold ingots.

The gold bars hidden in the northeast area were loaded onto the wagon, and they tried to move it to the north without anyone else's knowledge.

It was the perfect plan.

If it hadn't been for a group of thieves along the way, and all the gold bars had disappeared.

Count Douglas said.

There is no way that a band of thieves would have dealt with such a large amount of gold without a trace. Be sure to find the whereabouts of the gold bars even if you search the entire northeast area, or even the entire Cairo Kingdom. It's not Barco's. It's what we deserve, and it can't be taken from anyone else."

The eyes were bloodshot.

Now, the financial problem has been solved.

But when I think of the difficult moments at that time, I still felt like my blood was welling up.

surrounding area.

The seeds of the bandits were dried.

Thousands of people perished, but Earl Douglas had no intention of stopping until he saw the gold bars for himself.

Then then.

I received a message from the information guild Black Moon.

Lord! I finally found the whereabouts of the gold bars!

* * *

Head of the Black Moon.

Donovan came to Count Douglas.

At first, I thought the slush fund was in the hands of a swarm of thieves. The soldiers carrying the slush funds were dead, and with them were the corpses of the notorious bands of thieves in the area. However, no matter how much I looked at the black market, there was no movement to sell gold bars. Converting gold bars to gold coins requires special skills, so they decided that they had no choice but to use the black market to obtain practically usable money. So, as a result of continuing to lurk, we found a clue to the gold bars.

"Yes, what kind of cubs will steal my gold?"

The thieves were not gangs of thieves. Northeast Association. They are the culprits who stole the gold bars.

"what?!"

widely.

He left his seat and got up.

Northeast Association.

What does that mean?

At first, it is true that bands of thieves attacked the troops that were moving slush funds. However, at the same time, the forces of the Northeast Alliance caught on to the situation, and after defeating all the bandits, it seems they found a carriage containing gold ingots. Perhaps they are in trouble. Knowing that it was Earl Douglas' wagon, they chose to bury the truth and take the gold ingots. As proof of that, gold bars were sold on the black market a month ago. It was the same number and shape as Barco's slush fund, and the person who sent it to the black market was a minion following Viscount Konrad, a member of the Northeast Association.

These fucking bastards.

Anger exploded.

Meantime.

How much trouble was it with the loss of gold bars?

Emotions piled up one after another, and now that the financial problem has been solved, only anger remains.

Watching Earl Douglas in anger, Donovan bowed his head and suppressed the laughter that escaped.

'There is no lie in the information I have given. In fact, the Northeast Association found a carriage loaded with gold bars, and made the choice to steal the gold bars even though they knew it belonged to Earl Douglas. If I hadn't made this known. The Northeast Alliance could have committed the perfect crime, but by turning the master as an enemy, you created a crisis.

black door.

An information guild with a high reputation in the northeast area.

People don't know what kind of change they've faced.

Black Moon was absorbed by Hao Mun led by Lucas, and on the surface it still acted as if it were a centrist force.

blast furnace.

According to Roman's orders, information was leaked.

Count Douglas, unaware that he had become a puppet, vomited out anger with a flushed face.

Get in touch with the Northeast Association guys right now! This time, I will tear the bastards who stole other people's money to shreds!"

It was as expected.

Count Douglas, who was warlike, chose to move right away.

* * *

one contact.

A fire fell on the foot of the Northeast Alliance.

Even so, the atmosphere was not good because of Roman affairs, but the problem that occurred this time was more serious than that.

How the hell am I supposed to do this!

Earl Douglas is the power of the North. I don't know what's going to happen if my relationship with him goes wrong."

Earl Douglas said he would wait three hours.

inside.

All the Northeast Federation Associations should come together and explain this matter.

The people of the Northeast Association who heard the full story said with contemplative faces.

Also, you shouldn't touch Count Douglas's. Unlike gold coins, gold bars are not easily handled. If it was always a matter of being caught, it might have been better to contact Earl Douglas directly and offer a deal.

"Yes. Don't you all know the character of Earl Douglas? He's not going to get past this."

Count Douglas.

A person called the beast of the north.

Once he got a fever, he was famous for hitting him without thinking that he would get hurt.

So, regardless of how powerful he was, he didn't want to get along with Douglas and Chuck at all.

Viscount Conrad said.

What the hell is everyone talking about? The Barco family's slush fund does not belong to Earl Douglas. We also have money lent to the Barco family, and we have the right to take our share of the slush fund. But wasn't Earl Douglas the first to steal slush funds without anyone's knowledge? If he had been in an upright position, would he have tried to steal slush funds like a mouse? So don't go in with your head down first. As soon as the word sorry comes out of our mouths, this problem is over.

As he said.

The Northeast Association had money lent to the Barco family.

Barco borrowed money not only from Earl Douglas but also from the families in the northeast, and those who rode the line of the Barco family in the first place had no choice but to shed their pockets.

So it may be that the antipathy towards Dmitry was even stronger. Because of that, Barco collapsed, and he lost a lot of money.

stealing slush funds.

It had its own cause.

At least they weren't claiming money they didn't have any rights to, but they thought they deserved it too.

Would that work for Earl Douglas?

It doesn't matter if it's eaten or not. Can you spit out the money you earned with gold bars? We've already spent all that money, and the moment we admit our fault to Earl Douglas, we may have to spit out more money than the bullion we stole. Earl Douglas is more than enough. So, from now on, we have to make a one voice . I had to obsess over the fact that Earl Douglas hit the player first, and obscure the point.

It makes sense.

Let's do what Viscount Conrad says. Isn't the water already spilled anyway?"

opinions were gathered.

Although they may be weak as individuals, they showed courage under the one name of the Northeast Association.

timely.

A driver came to the conference room and said,

The Douglas family has requested a magical communication.

Moment.

The nobles of the Northeast Association, including Viscount Conrad, swallowed dry saliva involuntarily.

* * *

It was as expected.

As soon as communication was established, Earl Douglas did not hide his emotions.

[What the hell is this?! You're stealing my money. Please explain now!]

Anger simmered.

A voice like a lion.

Facing Earl Douglas' angry face, Viscount Conrad spoke in a voice as calm as possible.

Calm down for now. And it's 'my money'. I fully understand why Earl Douglas is angry, but the Barco family's slush fund belongs to no one. Like Earl Douglas, we lent money to the Barco family. If Earl Douglas had made clear the existence of the slush fund and asserted a greater right, we might have been satisfied with only a reasonable compensation at a slight loss. But wasn't it Count Douglas who stole the money first?"

bit the tail

Pointing out Earl Douglas' fault, he tried to distract the point.

That was a reasonable statement.

It was within the scope of common sense, but the problem was the emotions that had accumulated over the years.

[These dogs took out my money, and what am I to do? it's all my money From the moment I discovered Barco's slush fund, the right to the slush fund belongs to the Douglas family!]

The Count. Once calm... .

[Shut up!]

stopped talking

Was it three months ago?

Earl Douglas once hosted a party by inviting nobles from the northeast.

At that time, he did not say that it was a slush fund, but he did say that he was upset because he lost it while moving large amounts of money.

There were Viscount Konrad and others from the Northeast Association.

They obviously knew what they were talking about, but they seemed to comfort themselves with a pretentious face.

It was funny.

What had been positively accepted for their consolation, even for a brief moment, returned to me with great anger when I think about it now.

[At a party we had three months ago, you guys gave me a fake laugh and said this. Count Douglas, I don't know what's going on, but I'm sure it'll work out. Do you guys think I'm funny? Since we laugh at each other hahaha, do I look like an ordinary nobleman on the same level as you guys?]

could not dry

Viscount Conrad continued to say something, but he covered his ears and vomited out anger.

northern beast.

he got triggered

If he didn't express his boiling rage, it seemed he couldn't breathe.

[Listen now. As soon as I am ready, I will contact the central government and apply for a territorial war with you. Somewhere in the northeast area, let's try to stop the bastards together. I will show you the reality of how poor the Northeast Alliance has lost the protection of the Barco family.]

widely-

Communication has been cut off.

Viscount Conrad reconnected the communication.

However, at the unanswered call, he looked at the nobles of the Northeast Association with a pale face.

It seems like a big deal.

at that word.

The nobles felt their minds wandering.
