Chapter 36: Walpurgis Night (1)
“I wonder what his last reason was.”
Ivar muttered. He was pacing back and forth in his room. This was a habit of his that would come out whenever he was contemplating something, contemplating something pleasant that is. Whenever he was in deep thought about something unpleasant, he would simply sit in his chair and stare out the window. It had been a long time since Ivar’s brain had been stimulated, so he was a little excited right now.
He recalled the words that Dantalian had said teasingly.
-It is fine for me to tell you this. You are an accomplice, after all.
Ivar chuckled.
‘How dare he threaten the Keuncuska Firm.”
He immediately knew what underlying meaning Dantalian’s ‘You are an accomplice’ had. If Ivar wasn’t pretending to be an innocent young man, he wouldn’t have given such a half-baked response. Even while he was shouting at Dantalian in a panic, Ivar’s head was quickly assessing the situation. He came to a conclusion on the spot.
This is definitely more than enough to be used as blackmail material against us.
An employee stood by and did nothing when they could have saved a Demon Lord? Adding to that, it was an employee of the Keuncuska Firm that’s renowned for their reception of Demon Lords. Although the Keuncuska Firm is the best company in the demon continent, there are plenty of companies that could replace them. If Keuncuska’s trustworthiness diminishes, then the Demon Lords will immediately switch their partnerships to another company. Who would want to trade with a firm that could potentially kill them?
