Chapter 374: Chapter 374
Seeing Orik rubbing his palms together and laughing slyly, Sejun instinctively stepped back and took a defensive stance.
Hearing that sly laugh made him wary, thinking, ‘Is this sneaky creature trying to make me his slave?!’
“Keke. Master, what’s the matter? Has Slave No. 5 done something to displease you?”
Seeing Sejun’s defensive stance, Orik became flustered and rubbed his palms even more fervently. Did I mess up my first impression?
Sejun looked at Orik with puzzlement. This was the first time he encountered a being who so readily accepted being his slave.
“Yes. I’m sure it’s around here, but…”
Uren looked back and forth between Theo and the map, speaking with uncertainty.
The map he bought from the information trader clearly stated that Lizaen, who borrowed his money, was here, but there was nothing around.
“Meow! This won’t do, meow! I’ll find it myself, meow!”
Theo placed his front paw on the ground and focused all his senses.
‘Chairman Park, help me, meow!’
With a sincere heart, he requested help from Sejun.
A breeze blew, moving Theo’s whiskers westward.
“Puhuhut. Chairman Park said it’s that way, meow! Follow me, meow!”
Theo hurriedly ran west, and the others, clueless, followed him.
‘Chairman Park, help me!’
Theo continued to seek Sejun’s help as he moved in the directions of northwest, southeast.
They arrived back at the place Uren had initially indicated on the map. They had come full circle, returning to the original location.
‘Chairman Park, help me, meow!’
Theo once again sought help from Sejun.
Luckily, a breeze blew from top to bottom, causing his whiskers to point towards the ground. The map was accurate. It just failed to indicate that it was underground.
Theo shouted, pointing downwards, and then
He pressed his paw firmly against the ground.
The immense strength transmitted from Theo’s paw permeated the ground, causing it to collapse.
It was the secret move of Vice Chairman Theo, called Meow-Press Fist, created while pressing against Sejun’s face.
[Theo~nim, there’s a passageway here!]
“As expected of Theo~nim!”
Piyot and Uren shouted, looking at the hole revealed by the collapsed ground.
“Puhuhut. As expected of Chairman Park, meow!”
Theo praised Sejun as he entered the passageway connected to Lizaen’s secret hideout.
“That fool said he couldn’t lend me a large sum because he didn’t trust me. Do you know what I told him?”
The newly hired hostess shook her head while filling Lizaen’s glass to the brim.
“I told him if he didn’t trust me, he could keep my tail as collateral and lend me the money.”
“What? Your tail? But even if our tails get cut off, they grow back…”
“Exactly. But he didn’t know that. Hahaha.”
As Lizaen was boasting about how he made a fortune,
“What’s going on? Hey, go find out what’s happening.”
Lizaen commanded the mercenaries he had hired at a high price.
There was a sound of something soft being hit, and then,
“Puhuhut. Found it, meow!”
A yellow cat entered.
Following the cat, a snow-white bird with a bundle of papers in its beak entered, and
“Theo~nim, that’s Lizaen!”
Lastly, Uren, the fool who had made him rich, entered.
“Yes! You scoundrel! Why did you deceive me?!”
Uren shouted angrily at Lizaen.
“Hahaha! What are you talking about? It’s the fool’s fault for being deceived, not mine for deceiving.”
Lizaen sneered at Uren.
“Hey, cat, think it over. I don’t know how much that fool is paying you, but you’d make a lot more by just robbing him.”
He then tried to tempt Theo to steal Uren’s money.
Lizaen had a lot of money and valued his life, so he only hired strong mercenaries. However, this cat had easily dealt with the mercenaries.
‘There’s no chance of winning by force…’
So, he tried to sow discord between Theo and Uren.
That was a very wrong choice.
Theo quickly knocked out Lizaen, who was trying to shake his resolve. That was close, meow! It was the whisper of the devil, meow!
[Theo~nim, the stamp is done!]
Piyot pressed Lizaen’s thumb onto the contract.
“Um… Theo~nim, can I have just 100 hits…?”
“Puhuhut. 10 billion Tower Coins, meow!”
Uren handed the money to Theo and
“You scoundrel! It’s your fault for deceiving me, not mine for being deceived!”
He hit Lizaen. Uren seemed to be gradually showing signs of breaking away from being a sucker.
“Puhuhut. Now let’s find the money, meow!”
Theo wandered around Lizaen’s hideout, searching for the secret vault and opened it.
“There are only 2.1 trillion Tower Coins, meow!”
Lizaen had already spent 2.2 trillion Tower Coins.
Theo woke Lizaen up and asked about the whereabouts of the money.
“Haha! I spent it all on having fun. I had a blast thanks to you.”
Lizaen sneered, saying he had spent it all on entertainment.
There was no way to recover the money Uren had lent him.
After a moment of contemplation, Theo soon found a way to get the money back. As always.
“Puhuhut. That looks good, meow!”
Theo smiled broadly, looking at Lizaen’s teeth made of brown gemstones. There seemed to be at least 30 of them.
Puhuhut. Chairman Park will !
