Chapter 495: Chapter 495
“Wow, how long has it been since I smelled the city air?”
Hanra, the grandson of Hannibal, the chairman of the Freelance Mercenaries Association, who was notorious among the merchants as the ‘Ruffian of the Merchants’ District’, took a deep breath as he stepped into the merchant district.
“Kekeke. It was worth sneaking out without grandfather and Uncle Rak knowing.”
Hanra had slipped out while Hannibal and Rak were sparring. He smiled as he saw the shops and stalls that were still open.
After enduring grueling training every day, he was allowed to go out once a month.
But every time he came, the shops and stalls were always closed, leaving him terribly bored.
The merchants, upon noticing him, hurriedly fled or rushed to close their shops.
Kekeke. Where should I go?
“Puhuhut. We’ve acquired three Legendary Merchants, meow!”
As Theo rejoiced, having increased his impeachment power…
[Dad! Cuengi bought snacks! Try this one!]
Cuengi appeared, carrying a mountain of fruit candy, and handed them to Sejun and the newly appointed Legendary Merchants.
Cuengi clung to Sejun’s side, happily eating the snacks.
Sejun asked as he looked at Hanra, who was several times bigger than Cuengi and being dragged along behind him.
[This guy tried to steal Cuengi’s money, so Cuengi taught him a lesson!]
“Puhuhut. Did you stamp him, Cuengi?”
Theo laughed as he asked Cuengi.
[Cuengi doesn’t have a stamp, so couldn’t stamp him! Big brother can stamp for Cuengi!]
“Puhuhut. Alright, meow!”
Theo stamped the back of the unconscious Hanra’s head.
“Who dares?! Who dares to lay a hand on my grandson?!”
From afar, Hannibal roared as he charged toward where Sejun was.
Just as the children’s fight was about to escalate into an adult fight
“Puhuhut. Hannibal-nim, come on over, meow!”
The Black Tower’s Legendary Merchant Slave Hunter Theo Park?!
Seeing Theo, who was holding a stamp and welcoming him with open arms, Hannibal’s anger quickly cooled.
“That guy knocked out Hanra-nim.”
One of Hannibal’s subordinates quietly pointed at Cuengi as he informed Hannibal.
Hannibal was shocked when he spotted Cuengi clinging to Sejun’s side. He had seen him once before in the Red Ribbon Kingdom.
Cuengi Park, the son of the great Black Dragon.
Hanra, I’m sorry. This is something even Grandpa can’t fix.
The trouble Hanra had caused was far beyond Hannibal’s ability to clean up.
To think my grandson would mess with the family of the Great Black Dragon… It was a miracle he wasn’t dead already.
Come to think of it, it’s about time Hanra woke up to reality.
Hannibal had heard many stories of people joining Sejun Company and turning their lives around.
Trusting in Sejun Company’s reputation, Hannibal decided to leave his grandson in their care. No, in truth, he didn’t have any other choice.
“Hahaha. It’s an honor to meet the great Black Dragon Sejun-nim and his right hand, Theo-nim. Please take care of my grandson, Hanra, from now on.”
“You mean this guy, meow?”
When Theo pointed to the unconscious Hanra,
Hanra began to regain consciousness.
“Grandpa, that stupid bear bas…”
Just as Hanra, who had spotted Hannible, was about to complain that the Cuengi had hit him, Hannibal smacked him on the back of the head, knocking him out again.
“Hahaha, I’m sorry. I spoiled him too much. Please, just don’t kill him.”
“Puhuhut. Don’t worry, meow! We won’t kill him, meow!”
[Dad, aren’t we going to eat something tasty?]
Cuengi, who had already finished all the fruit candies, looked up at Sejun and asked.
“Huh!? Right! Let’s go eat something delicious.”
That’s right! We came here to celebrate Cuengi becoming an Intermediate Herbalist.
Sejun, remembering the original purpose of coming here, quickly found a restaurant and went in.
“Puhuhut. Today, Hannibal-nim is treating us, right meow?”
Naturally, Hannibal ended up paying for the meal.
“Puhuhut. It tasted even better since it was free, meow!”
[Hehehe. That was delicious!]
After finishing the meal,
“Puhuhut. Assistant Manager Jeff, here’s the new intern, Hanra, meow! I’ll take Machun and Magin with me, meow!”
Theo stopped by the Sejun Company branch in the merchant district and handed over the unconscious Hanra.
“Let’s go see Mason-nim.”
Sejun decided to visit Mason, the chairman of the Wandering Merchants Association, to acquire the Land Deeds for the 59th and 94th floors of the tower while he was here.
And so, they arrived at the chairman’s office of the Wandering Merchants Association.
“Mason-nim, could you help me acquire the land deeds for the 59th and 94th floors of the black tower?”
“One moment, please. I had a feeling Sejun-nim might come looking for more land deeds, so I’ve prepared them in advance.”
Mason opened a drawer and pulled out the land deeds in response to Sejun’s request.
“Oh. Fortunately, I have the land deeds for the 59th and 94th floors that Sejun-nim is looking for. You should take these as well since you might need them in the future.”
He handed Sejun five land deeds.
The remaining 3 were land deeds for the 65th and 72nd floors of the Black Tower, and the 62nd floor of the Red Tower.
As Sejun was about to get up, having secured the land deeds…
[According to the laws of the Tower, the Tower Farmer of the Black Tower, Park Sejun, will now command Udon, the Tower Farmer of the Red Tower, for 100 years.]
A message appeared in front of Sejun.
[As a reward for achieving the Great Farmer’s feat, your job trait that borrows stats from the Tower Farmers you command is strengthened.]
[According to your job trait, you will now borrow 1% of the stats of Ajax, the Tower Farmer of the White Tower.]
At the same time, as a reward for the Great Farmer’s feat, the stats borrowed from the other Tower Farmers increased from 0.5% to 1%.
Sejun was confused by the sudden message.
93rd Floor of the Red Tower.
Red Fox Bayon secretly mixed Scorching Cherry seeds into the Flame Bean seed container of Udon.
‘Chairman Park! Vice Chairman Theo! Your loyal full-time employee Bayon has done it!’
Bayon laughed quietly as he watched Udon scream in despair while sowing the seeds.
