Chapter 366: Chapter 366

20th Floor of the Black Tower.

“Hey, youngest. Do you know why I, a lower bone rank, aimed to overthrow the bone rank caste system?”

Koto, the leader of the Crying Skeleton Gang and the master of the ‘Shoddy Skeleton Castle’ on the 20th floor, asked the King of Farming.

As he gently placed his right hand on the sword handle.

How would I know that? The King of Farming shrank his neck, intimidated by Koto’s actions.

Honestly, he wasn’t curious at all.

Cuengi happily dug into the watermelon following Sejun’s suggestion and went inside the watermelon.

Sejun shared the bite-sized watermelon pieces with Black Rabbit and Fenrir.

[Uncle, it’s super sweet and refreshing!]

‘Sweet! Refreshing! Delicious!’

“Try some too, Aileen.”

Sejun sent a whole watermelon to Aileen and enjoyed the delicious watermelon with his companions.

After filling up their stomachs with watermelon,

He gifted one drought-inducing watermelon each to Kaiser, Ramter, and Tier. It was meant as a suggestion to use these in the future.

-Oh! Is this only for VIPs?

-As expected, Being a VIP sure is nice.

-Hahaha. Poor Kellion.

Kellion was nowhere to be found, so he only gave it to the three of them, but he didn’t bother to mention it.

‘I’ll have to send some through Ajax later.’

After giving the dragons the watermelons,

“Now. Let’s take a bath!”

Sejun took his group to the bathhouse.

Black Rabbit, Cuengi, and Fenrir had all eaten watermelons, getting their fur sticky with juice, making it clump together and look messy.

‘Hey! Look at the majestic swimming of the noble Fenrir!”

Thanks to that, they could watch Fenrir dog paddle joyously splashing water everywhere.

35th Floor of the Tower.

“Theo~nim, we are here.”

Uren brought Theo to a tree growing atop a sharp cliff.

“Uren, where is the scammer, meow?”

Theo looked around and asked.

“Ah… I don’t know where the scammer is, so we came here. This is the tree I was scammed with.”

Uren pointed at the tree and explained.

“Still, the fruit tastes quite good. Uhehe.”

Despite being scammed out of 300 billion Tower Coins because of the tree, Uren praised the taste of its fruits with a laugh.

It seemed like having an ultra-positive mindset might be one of the essential conditions for being a sucker.

“Puhuhut. Uren, that’s the spirit, meow! Because the culprit is bound to come back to the crime scene, meow!”

Theo, following what he learned from detective Sherlock Sejun, exclaimed as he recited this.

“So, search the area, meow!”

Theo formed round glasses with his front paws and searched the tree, and

Piyot and Uren, taking the lead from Theo, also formed glasses with their wings and hooves to search the tree.

However, Uren hadn’t mentioned one thing. It had been about 10 years since he was scammed.

Even if the culprit had come, they would have long gone by now.

So, there was nothing to find by searching the tree.

“Puhuhut. Found it, meow!”

Theo, luckily, discovered the use of this tree.

“Chairman Park will , meow!”

Theo enthusiastically started collecting the jujubes from the jujube tree into his bundle.

As Theo picked the jujubes, Piyot and Uren also stopped searching and followed Theo in picking them.

While they were all happily picking jujubes from within the tree,

“Look! This is the tree that bears gold!”

A cunning voice came from beneath the tree.

‘A tree that bears gold? This is a jujube tree, meow!’

When Theo looked in the direction of the voice, a gray skunk appeared.

‘Theo~nim, that’s the guy who sold me this tree!’

Seeing the skunk, Uren signaled to Theo with his foot.

10 years. It was the right time for a scammer who had scammed Uren and disappeared to come out of their hiding to scam once again.

‘Puhuhut. Just as Sherlock Sejun said, the culprit came back to the crime scene, meow!’

Theo confirmed once again that Sejun’s words were the truth.

“But where is the gold, baa?”

A familiar voice was also heard. It was Mimyr, the Legendary Merchant Golden Sheep.

“That’s because it’s not yet the season for the gold to bear. You’ll have to wait a year.”

“Is that so? Then let’s talk again when the gold grows.”

Although the scammer called out, Mimyr left the cliff without any hesitation, her footsteps sounding in retreat.

“As expected, she’s not easily fooled. That pig back then paid right away…”

It seemed the scammer knew that fools like Uren, who are easily deceived, are valuable.

As the scammer was acknowledging Uren’s value,

Uren, who had been hiding in the jujube tree, leaped to the ground.

“Found you! Siron! You scammer!”

He shouted towards the gray skunk Siron.

“Ah? Uren~nim, it’s good to see you!”

Siron, a skilled scammer, was briefly flustered but soon embraced Uren as if truly pleased to see him.

“What?! Pleased to see me?! You dare say that after scamming me like that?!”

Uren pushed Siron away as he yelled.

“Ah… I’m sorry. Actually, I mistakenly sold you another tree at that time and have been looking for you.”

Siron said in an apologetic tone.

“Yes. Instead, I’ll give you this tree that bears gold. You must have heard just before, but gold will grow in just one year from now.”

Siron spoke as if he was giving Uren the tree, even though Uren had already paid for it.

“But… I didn’t mention it to Mimyr~nim earlier, but there is a way to make it bear gold tomorrow.”

“Oh? Really? What is it?”

“You bury 1 ton of gold in the ground.”

“Puhuhut. He’s good, meow!’

Theo cheered for Siron from atop the jujube tree, who was raising his commission.
