章節 48: Chapter 48: But You Asked Me to Shoot You

3rd Person POV

It wasn't long till the main family members of the march heard the news of their treasury being destroyed and came quickly since every member placed their most precious items in there.

There is only one accessible entrance as the walls around it and everywhere else is heavily enchanted with deadly spells and defensive spells, no one would thought to do those method since they would be detected and intercepted, no one will stand a chance, due to their wealth, the only person who can blow past through is a 10 star, or a small group of 9 stars since they hired as many 8 star fighters as possible.

The only weird footage was to see one of their family members talk to the air, but maybe he felt a weird breeze and was just uttering, but it was a bit long, maybe he thought he saw something, but when asked, he didn't remember what happened, so it means there was nothing, no clue at all. No footprints, no fingerprints and...no mana signature to be detected...that means that the blow was caused by pure physical strength.

"Damn it, our gold and our stored weapons, years of history! Stolen, gone!" Sheela cursed "Is this some sort of message?! 50%, exactly 50%!"

"What's bad isn't 50%, it's the fact that those 50% are world about 70% of what was in our treasury." her father replied "We can't find any culprits, we can't even have a suspect since judging someone's physical strength is simply impossible apart from looks."

"What about Perseus?" Sheela suggested to which her father facepalmed and sighs in disappointment.

"Not him again."

"What?!" she was shocked at the fact that her own father didn't believe her words "The lords got enhanced strength and even then, our sensors can't detect the power of the roses."

"Do you know what we've lost already because of you. You aren't even the head of this family nor the next!" he retorted "Edward and Reiner threatened me, I was disappointed that you were petty enough to not even honor a contract with an 8 year old!"

"But-"

"But what? Hmm? He cheated? Where's your proof?!" he burst in rage after cutting her off "We got blacklisted by very reputable establishments and investments thanks to you. If we can't honor a contract with a child, how are we to be trusted with actual business that will earn each other billions of bels, it wasn't even that much money! You had more than that on hand.

"Edward was rightfully mad, even if the people of the Paradis Tree isn't under his jurisdiction, their people treat each other with respect even if we all discriminate those half breeds together. You're lucky we're still reputable enough to be able to get in with other businesses through connections, so I can defend you, but no more."

"Why are you scolding me?" she asked "I was just trying to help with the current situation."

"That's because I already overheard you asking someone to investigate the lord and the guardian." her father retorted "What is it with you?! Oh, he made sure that our family can't get the anti aging cream so we had to buy it through a middle man for 10x the price, who we found out worked for the boy in the first place, so you were mad and tried to get back at him, but failed.

"Leave the boy alone, don't you have better things to do?!" his face was red with anger and disappointment "He's a lord, an existence we shouldn't even touch and yet here we are, trying to make him an enemy for the 3rd time. You already disappointed by choosing that mediocre prince over that baron, he wasn't wealthy, but he was rich in heart, you were so proud of your stupid title that you rather marry for wealth to match it, leave if you have nothing to contribute."

He was proud of his daughter, her beauty was out of the world, and she was a very nice girl. But like some of the unobtainable flower, she started to get arrogant, there is nothing with being confident, but being arrogant was another matter, she was petty, always wanting to win and the number 1.

He knew that he should have humbled her when she got that title, but it's too late now, to recover, he might need to start working harder instead of enjoying his easy latter years so that his other daughter will not have to work too much once she succeed his title.

Perseus POV

"Seriously, I don't get why she would suspect me?"

I had this guy tied up, apparently Sheela hired him to investigate me, well the fact that she did it privately means this guy can die and I wouldn't have to worry, no one will investigate me apart from her, I knew somewhat that she will after I scammed her.

I knew banning her will make her more curious on that cream, so I eliminated-, that's bad wording, I paid them to not accept it, well with our business on being what it is now, they would have regretted ruining a relation with a good business venture.

And I hired my own guy to sell it to her as a middle man, I sold it to her 100 times the actual price, her current middle man is charging her even more due to the fate of the last one, and is also working for me. I mean, if you're gonna do something bad, don't do it to a guy named Loki, even if that's not my original name, I was still given that nickname for a reason.

"Well, tell me your group's base so I can dismantle them for messing with me, or else I'll kill you."

I placed a revolver I bought to his head, it's really hard to find guns that are not a revolver in this world, no wonder it's only a collector's item.

"Shoot me then." he replied

*Click*

"You were going to actually shoot me?!" he exclaimed "What the fuck?!"

"Shit, it wasn't loaded, Ruka, bullet please." she then handed me one ammo

"I didn't buy the ammo, it came with 6 and I used 5 for the test earlier, sorry." she apologized "A bit angry that you of all people is dating my big sister."

"Stop trying to escape, just wait for me to load this and you'll meet your maker. One to the head is painless, don't worry." I turned to the guy trying his best to escape

"Don't you know how interrogation work?!" he shouted

"You literally asked me to shoot you, and now you're trying to tell me how things work? Alright, it's armed now."

"Yo, I'll tell, just don't-" I then shot his leg "AHHHHHH."

"Alright, where is it?"
