It’s getting harder and harder to be a villain these days

This is completely a 'master-servant' contract in disguise, and the penalty for violation proposed by Weekly is actually a lifetime of losing magic power.

To a wizard, losing her magic was worse than killing her.

"It's not fair..."

"It seems that you haven't understood the formality yet, so the next conversation will be in three days. During this period, you should think about it carefully."

"Wait for me……"

But before Evelin could finish speaking, the two brothers and sisters on the side blocked her mouth again, put on their hoods, and plunged into darkness again.

Vickery turned around and left without hesitation.

----

My brother asked after exiting the dungeon.

“What should we do if Evelin always refuses to make the oath?”

Vickery gave him a confused look.

"Of course I will kill him. Do I need to say this?"

Now that the matter has happened, if Evelin is unwilling to compromise, then it would be easier to kill her as soon as possible rather than make troublesome remedies.

"But is it really okay to just let her go like this?"

"What do you mean?"

"After all, the Josephine family was also involved in the death of the previous head of the family..."

"..."

Is there such an inside story?

It seems that the Josephine family has played more than just victims in the 15-year Wizarding Council.

But judging from Evelin’s attitude, it seemed that she didn’t know about this.

“But Evelin wasn’t involved, right?”

"But……"

"There is nothing to be ashamed of. Since Evelin has nothing to do with this matter, then I will not kill them all. The so-called nobles must have a clear distinction between grudges and grudges..."

If it were his predecessor, he might really kill Evelin, but he is not the real 'Vickley', and this grudge is not important to him at all.

Vickery looked around the cave.

Not to mention the dim light, the air was damp and humid, and there was a lot of garbage scattered around. The unpleasant smell irritated his nerves from the beginning.

This is no place for people to live.

"...Do you usually live here?"

"

Um. "

Brother replied.

But suddenly, the sister who had been silent shouted loudly.

"——You promised to give us money! Where is the money!"

The brother immediately glared at her, but the sister didn't flinch this time.

"No matter what you do with that woman, pay off her previous salary first!"

"salary?"

"Yeah, a lot of money...ugh!"

"--Snapped"

After her brother gave her sister a loud slap, she calmed down.

"I'm sorry, my sister didn't receive a good education since she was a child."

Vickery looked at them silently.

The younger sister held her swollen cheeks and sobbed, while the older brother pressed her head and kept saying sorry.

"It's okay. Come to my place first. The environment here is too bad."

Although this pair of brothers and sisters may look ugly, they are definitely top-notch.

Perhaps they are talents carefully cultivated secretly by the Pod family.

When he thought that of so many men, only two were left, Vickrey's heart was bleeding.

"From today on, I will reuse you, and I will also settle the rewards I promised before."

For a moment, the brother and sister froze on the spot.

"Really!"

The younger sister wiped the tears from her eyes and looked at him in surprise.

"Thank you master."

The brother pulled his sister down on one knee to show his loyalty.

Vickery looked down at them and added one last sentence.

"But since you have followed me, you must change some of your mistakes and don't take action easily when encountering problems. This is the most tasteless method."

A true aristocrat disdains the use of violence to dominate others.

Chapter 131 Welcome anytime

'Wakele's last order a few months ago was to put them on standby.

Based in the Fanor slum, there were hundreds of intelligence agents working for the Pod family at that time, and they were a force that should not be underestimated in the imperial capital.

There are talents for espionage, assassination, disguise, etc. Walter and Aina are one of them.

However, when the capital chain was disconnected, these hundreds of people disappeared within a few months.

The brother and sister stayed because they had nowhere else to go.

And money is also part of the reason. The smaller the number of people, the more rewards they can share.

Vickrey first led his brother and sister to the bathhouse. After cleaning, he led them to buy a new set of clothes at a high-end clothing store in the imperial capital.

This is the first time in their lives that the brother and sister have put on formal clothes.

After dressing up, he looked completely different from before.

Afterwards, Vickrey took them back to the mansion, declared that the two of them were his 'exclusive attendants', and vacated a warehouse and converted it into their exclusive dormitory.

"……Wow."

My sister Aina opened her eyes wide and looked at the scenery in the mansion. She didn't expect that she could live in such a luxurious mansion.

"Brother, can I get a dog?"

The mansion is very spacious, and the back garden alone is more than ten times larger than the cave.

Can they really live there?

"...No." Walter shook his head.

Aina pouted, her cheeks still red and swollen from the slap she had just received.

"Does it still hurt?"

"Would you like to be beaten?"

"...You are not young anymore. You should be cautious in your words and deeds, at least not in front of the master."

But it’s not actually Aina’s fault. The brother and sister were at the bottom of the organization in terms of organizational strength and were already poor.

No wages have been paid in the past six months. They were penniless and had no choice but to hunt when they were hungry. All the rats nearby were hunted to extinction.

It was no wonder that she couldn't help but get angry when she heard that Vickery just praised them verbally and wanted to leave.

"Brother, do you still believe the master?"

"No, I can't completely believe it yet. In any case, it makes no sense to allow the organization to disintegrate."

"What's the matter? Isn't it a good thing that no one will share the money with us? Besides, the master has no hostility towards our family."

Aina stared at the check in her hand and swallowed.

As soon as he returned to the mansion, Vickery settled the previous payment as promised.

The total was more than 500 million Galleons. This was the first time in her life that she had seen so much money.

It's not in vain that they have lived such a hard life for so long, and their sweat has finally paid off.

Walter nodded.

"...You are right."

"But we will only keep 1 of this money, and send the rest back to the island."

"Ah? Why? We have worked hard for seven years to earn this. I am not greedy, but at least ten thousand more!"

Aina clutched the check tightly.

Walter worried for a long time, but finally nodded in agreement.

"……Fine."

Although there is no direct kinship, the tribesmen on the island are irreplaceable family members to the two brothers and sisters. This is the fundamental reason why they have never left the Pod family.

"Then it's settled."

The Red Blood Tribe is lurking in every corner of the empire.

[Hello, professor, I am Alice.

Thanks to you some time ago, I was able to arrive safely in the Principality of Frey.

This sudden letter may be a bit abrupt, but please read it carefully.

The recent days have been peaceful, but whenever I recall the experience of that day, I still feel nervous.

If it weren't for the professor's help, I might have died there long ago, and I wouldn't be able to enjoy the tranquility I have now.

So please allow me to once again express my gratitude.

I heard Ruisa tell you the specific things. Although you said it was just a transaction, I felt the professor's warmth.

If there is any need in the future, I will definitely try my best to help.

For that day, I am learning swordsmanship and magic. Although it is not very effective now, it will definitely come in handy in the future!

As for the last time you said I was acting, I don't deny it, but my gratitude is absolutely not false. This is the only thing I want you to know.

Oh yes, one more thing.

In the near future, the Principality of Frey will launch a huge project, and some areas will be expanded and rebuilt. The prospects are very good.

I am solely responsible for this project!

Professor, if you are willing, I can give you an investment opportunity. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Of course, I am definitely not coming to you because I have no money. This letter is mainly to convey my gratitude...

Ah, Ruisa is here. I wrote this letter secretly. Although I still have a lot to say, it seems I can only leave it for next time.

So finally, I look forward to hearing from you~

Sincerely, my savior, Professor Vickery! 】

In the study, Vickery looked at the letter with a complicated expression.

...Is this a thank you letter?

Alice almost reached into his pocket and asked for money.

Vickery shook his head, put the letter in the drawer, and then read the intelligence sent by Walter.

These are the information that their predecessor ordered them to collect before.
