Chapter 41: The Tin Knight and The Hanging Sinner (4)
The Empire.
Adventurers Guild Schwartz Branch. Branch Manager’s Office.
Branch Manager, we’ve received an urgent report from the Taros Labyrinth Management Department.”
“An urgent report?”
The Branch Manager furrowed his brow in confusion as he took the report.
As he checked the contents written in the report, his face gradually turned red, and finally, an indignant shout burst from his mouth, “So, explorers under the Halder Company swept up all the relics inside the labyrinth in just one day? And the incompetent fools on site just watched it happen? Hey, you bastards! How did you handle this?!”
“T-that’s because the contract terms with the company were set up that way...”
“And who the hell approved such a ridiculous contract!? We should have either limited the amount they could take at once or made sure our people went with them!!”
The subordinate felt the words, “You’re the one who approved it without properly reviewing when the related documents first came up, so why are you yelling at me?” welling up from deep inside, but those words never escaped his lips.
Instead of provoking the Branch Manager’s anger with unnecessary words, the subordinate silently bent his waist at a 90-degree angle.
“My apologies.”
