Capítulo 53: [53] August's True Purpose!
Seeing August, who didn't give her any respect, Tsubaki became displeased.
He took advantage of her so much, even touching her breast no man has ever touched, and he even bit it with his mouth. Is this his attitude?'
"What do you want, then?"
Tsubaki said through gritted teeth.
At this moment, August revealed a smile, giving Tsubaki a bad premonition. August must have some sinister intentions.
"I want you to help me forge some weapons."
"Huh? Help you forge weapons? And 'some'? Do you know the price of the weapons I forge in Orario?"
Tsubaki couldn't help but laugh. Describing it as a lion opening its mouth was an understatement.
She was the top-notch blacksmith in Orario, one of the most powerful blacksmiths aside from the gods. When others commissioned her to forge a weapon, they needed to provide their own materials and pay a significant forging fee. Even then, she wouldn't easily take on a job.
Now, August was asking her to forge weapons, and not just one.
"Weapons don't need to have high quality, and they can even be made from scrap. I only have one requirement: they must have an indestructible attribute."
"You scoundrel! Are you joking? Indestructible attribute? Do you think ordinary metals can achieve that?"
"That's your problem."
"I..."
Now she really wanted to lift August's skull and take a good look at what he was thinking.
Clearly, he just took advantage of her, and he was the one in the wrong, but somehow, it feels like he caught her in some kind of trap.
"You rascal~"
Looking at the somewhat frustrated Tsubaki and her arms covering the upper part of her body, August suddenly remembered what he had just done. He realized he had done something quite improper.
Now, the atmosphere became a bit awkward.
It was like negotiating a deal, offering a sky-high price, only to realize that you might have spoken too soon.
"Sorry, I got a bit carried away."
"Go to the dungeon with me tomorrow."
"Sure, but we need to discuss the fee."
"You scoundrel! I've suffered such a big loss, and you still want more."
"Let bygones be bygones. It was my mistake just now, and I won't evade that. However, this is a different matter. In this day and age, mixing feelings with money hurts both. So, let's not confuse the two."
"You... I..."
At this moment, Tsubaki was on the verge of madness. Is this guy even a normal man?
Even a beauty like herself has been treated like this, and he actually says that relationships hurt finances?
"Well, then, what conditions would you accept?"
Tsubaki compromised, this deal could be big or small.
If it were just once or twice, it wouldn't be a big deal. However, if it involved long-term, large-scale transactions, it would become a major business chain.
"It's simple. This transaction is not between us, it's a mutually beneficial cooperation between the Loki Familia and the Hephaestus Familia."
As soon as this statement came out, Tsubaki's expression changed, and she stared at August in front of her.
"You should know that when it involves Familia, the benefits will be significantly divided. By then, the profit you can gain will be greatly reduced."
"Nevertheless, to accomplish this deal, you must rely on me."
Yes, it had to depend on August, he was the core. Without August's spatial storage ability, everything else would be meaningless.
This was August's absolute confidence. Even though the profits might be distributed, his share would not be low.
"Even so, our cooperation will allow you to gain much more."
"I still have to contribute a bit, otherwise, how can I gain a say in the matter?"
With this sentence, Tsubaki understood August's true purpose.
A say, the say of the Familia. To become a core member of a Familia was simple, one needed strength. But to become a high-ranking member required not only strength but also prestige, reputation, and connections.
Although Familia was not a business corporation and didn't involve as many complexities, the principles were similar.
August could make money with the Familia, and that would definitely earn him admiration. After all, digging up precious metal ore wasn't something one or two people could finish in a day or two, it was a massive project.
Digging, transporting, processing, selling—a series of tasks could form an entire industry chain. Familia members could participate in this industry chain, even if they couldn't eat meat, they could at least drink the broth. That alone would be enough for August to establish a firm position in the Familia.
"You scoundrel, you're just like Finn, both having terrifying ambitions and not hiding them."
"So, moved? Although you're quite a bit older than me, I don't mind."
"Go to hell."
Bang!
Once again, August was thrown out of the room.
Age, the taboo of any woman, even if she usually seemed carefree and indifferent.
August covered his head, determined in his heart.
In the future, he must tie her up and repeat this process ten thousand times! Ten thousand times!
"I agree to this matter. As for the rest, I'll personally discuss it with Finn tomorrow. As for you, you can leave now."
August brushed off the dust on his body, stood up, and walked out.
His departure seemed chic, but when he reached the front door and looked at the unfamiliar surroundings, August suddenly remembered he didn't know the way here either.
Thinking about it, August became angry and quickly went back.
Bang!
He pushed open the door, intending to question Tsubaki. However, the next second, he froze in place.
Because Tsubaki was holding her two breast with both hands, trying to wrap them up. However, because the capital was too ample, there was a bit of difficulty.
At this moment, August walked in.
This was the second time he had seen the coveted sight that all men dream of.
"You rascal, go to hell!"
"Ah~!!!"
