Oh no! After I Reincarnated, My Moms Became Son-cons! - Volume 4 - Chapter 32

Chapter 32

“Before we get down to business, let me say something . ” I narrowed my eyes to look at the representative in front of me and sombrely said, “Nier, go and find out which guard brought this cage in without my permission . After you find out, kill him . ”

“Understood . ”

Nier nodded and just a moment later, I heard a loud cry of pain from outside . Nier understood my intentions . It would be boring to kill the guard outside in one go . I want him to cry out in pain, loud enough that his cries could be heard by the entire outer court . I sat in the master-seat, listening to the cries of anguish and pain until silence was reached . I then placed my tea-cup in my hand down and looked at the representative next to me .

He looked at me with astonishment . Behind him was the cage that angered me . The cage was covered up with a red cloth . I didn’t know what was inside, but the door-guard deserved to die for allowing something to be brought into my outer court without my permission .

Nier came back to the conference chamber and tossed a few diamonds covered in blood on the table before coming to stand behind me . The diamonds were covered in blood that had just been spilt . A trail of blood was drawn on the table . Many beads of sweat slowly formed on the representative’s forehead as he looked at the blood-diamonds in front of him .

“Taking bribes when you’re my guard is asking for death . ” I looked at him with a cold gaze and said, “Now as for the bribes, I hope there won’t be a second time . You’re currently my guest so I won’t pursue the matter . Now, it’s your turn to tell me what’s inside the cage . ”

“It… it is a gift for you, your majesty . We heard you like elves, so……”

I walked over to the cage with a villainous smile on my face . I pulled the red cloth down with one hand . Inside were four naked female elves hugging each other, looking at me terrified . They didn’t have any wounds on them, but their trembling bodies told me loud and clear that they weren’t elves who came here voluntarily .

“Eek!”

I heard Luna take in a breath of cold air behind me .

“We heard you bought an elf at the market previously so we prepared a few especially for you . They are all virgins too . No one has touched them . I hope you will like them, your majesty . ”

He stood to one side as if he was displaying the elves before me like an exhibition . I could feel my eyes almost pop out of my head from anger . My fingers were quaking . If I wasn’t unarmed right now, his head would be flying right now . I huffed and puffed . If I don’t tolerate this, I’ll mess up the bigger picture .

Though I was angry, I can’t kill him for this right now . I need more knowledge before I can kill him .

Yes, if possible, he must die .

“Leave them here . Luna, you look after them”

I sat into my chair and in an angry voice where I was shaking gave Luna an order . Luna nodded and walked over . She arranged to have people move the cage out of the conference chamber .

The representative smiled as if he was satisfied with the present they prepared for me . I looked at him and said: “Alright, now tell me what your goal is and you better finish before I lose my patience . ”

To be honest, my patience had already run out by that point . I really wanted to order Nier to slash him to death .

“In that case, please take this . ”

He took out two sheets of paper from his shirt and handed them up to me with two hands . I took them and took a look . The sheet on top was a thirty-thousand gold coins cheque . People use cheques for this sort of sum because thirty-thousand gold coins is far too many and too heavy . As long as you have this cheque, you can go to the bank or company to collect your gold coins .

The sheet underneath was a land deed, a property ownership rights sheet . The location was the orphanage .

“What’s this supposed to mean?”

I snuck a glance at Nier behind me and noticed that all her attention was on the land deed . The representative smiled and said: “Jeez, it is very simple . I am not here to discuss business directly with you . You could say that the higher-ups asked me to come and negotiate the conditions with you I guess . We shall gift you the block of land where the orphanage is as well as the orphanage . We will write off their debts . You can do as you please, your majesty . As for the thirty-thousand gold coins, those are to purchase all the stores you own . ”

“So a deposit?”

“That is correct . We are not as rich and powerful as you so we can only make a deposit to start . Afterwards, we will pay you in instalments, as well as a reasonable amount of interest . And then you pass ownership rights of the stores to us . What do you think?”

I chuckled coldly, looked at him and asked: “So how are you going to convince me that you can continue paying future instalments? Excuse me for being blunt but your company has already shut down once . It’s far too difficult for me to trust you . How are you going to pay off your debts while paying interest?”

“We have our ways . You do not need to worry about that, your majesty . The statues of god we sell will definitely sell because it remains a necessity as long as there are believers . As such our income is stable . There will be no problem there . Your majesty, do not worry as we will not write your name as the receiver . ”

He looked at me, took out a small book, handed it to me and said: “These are our current numbers . As you can see, we have always been in the green . Furthermore, if we run into issues, the block of land where the orphanage is can be considered your compensation, right? That block of land is in a good location . You would get a good price if you sold it . ”

I glared at him and asked: “The block of land itself isn’t worth money, so I want to know why the orphanage owes thirty-thousand gold coins . ”

“Those are all loans . Your majesty, the land itself isn’t worth money . However, the higher-ups all need money . The profits from the orphanage are too minimal . The debt has accumulated up until now . That said, we did not forcefully release goods . The deals were signed after negotiation, and every dollar was definitely paid . ”

I looked at the debt record sheet he handed me . Indeed, every payment was signed and stamped . I can’t say anything about it . It’s just that the interest rate is a bit too high . However, they loaned it knowing so, so I can’t criticise the church for it . They didn’t forcefully sell it to them after all .

I placed the loan sheet down then looked at him and asked: “So what you’re saying is you want to trade the orphanage plus the thirty-thousand gold coin deposit for my stores, is that right?”

“Yes, that is correct . ”

He looked at me with a smile and continued, “Your majesty, this is a stable business . We have shown you our utmost sincerity . Not only have we bought your stores at their full price, we have even gifted you a block of land . Of course, if you are interested, we could also send you a few elves each month . We are fine with that . ”

“Can you tell me where you get the elves from?”

“We get them through deals with the elves over there . Your majesty, our deals are absolutely legal . We did not kidnap or illegally bring them here . We bought them with genuine gold and silver . ”

He looked at me and calmly lied to my face making me really want to pull out a cleaver and butcher him . Does he not know I’m the elf prince? Buying and selling elves under my nose… I want to beat this guy to death .

“Forget it, I’ve made up my mind . ”

I waved my hand and looked at him with a smile as I said, “The conditions you’ve given me are really good . I know what you mean, which is to take the money and turn a blind eye to this . But your superiors must’ve misunderstood something . I didn’t do this because you didn’t give me enough money, but because… I want to . ”

“So you are refusing then, your majesty?”

“That’s right . I refuse . ”

He stood up and shouted: “What about the orphanage then, your majesty? If you refuse, we will repossess the land in two days’ time . We’ll also take the kids to the church!”

I turned around, looked at him coldly and asked: “Oh really? But what’s that got to do with me?”
