“The disciplinary meeting is over?”
a tellot nodding his head with an expressionless face
“May I ask you what kind of disposition you have? Three years of curfew, no way that ridiculous punishment could have been confirmed without the parties involved.”
“You think it’s a ridiculous disciplinary action?”
“Yes, it is.”
“In what way?”
“Because this is a disciplinary action that has never been taken in the history of Looncandel. Banning out literally means taking away physical freedom, which is unacceptable as a rider in Looncandel. If the fact that I’m grounded becomes known to the outside world, the image of Looncandel will be funny.”
A faint smile spread around Telot’s mouth as Jean spoke clearly. It was a confused laugh whether it was a laugh or a smile.
“That’s right. But the disposition you received remains the same. Three years off limits.”
“Do you still have the elders inside?”
“Are you going to go in and argue?”
“Yes.”
“Will the elders ever take disciplinary action against you just because you’”
“Thank you for your concern, but I’m good at making it happen if it doesn’t work.”
Jean looked into Telot’s eyes and said,
A few seconds of silence passed. As soon as he was about to pass without further waiting for an answer, Telot lightly grabbed Jean by the shoulder.
“I put your disciplinary action on hold. So stop.”
Jean’s eyes grew bigger.
“You stopped my disciplinary action….? Mr. Ho Min?”
“Yes.”
It was certainly an act of helping Jean to suspend disciplinary action.
So Jean came up with one truth that most people in the world knew. There is no unprovoked favor.
‘There’s no way you could have done me a favor without meaning anything. President of the Tribune….I remember failing to occupy the Colon site long before I was born.’
Tellot Looncandel.
Jean didn’t know what he was like. It is only natural that he would have been involved with the senate in his previous life. Therefore, nothing came to mind with what intentions he had approached.
“What do you want from me, Mr. Ho Min?”
When asked point-blank, Tellot burst into another low laugh.
“By all means, you’re a bright-eared fellow. How you doing, would you like a cup of tea with this old man? Or would you go in and fight the elders, saying you wouldn’t even accept the suspension of disciplinary action.”
There was no need to worry.
the three organizations forming the senate
Black Sword Society, Hou Law Society, Hou Minhoe.
Among them, the Ho Minhoe was the least influential, but not to mention the president of the Ho Min Association, Telot, had a greater say than Jin.
If Telot has decided on Yubo, Jin’s “maximum” result will be closer to Yubo.
‘Maybe it was hard even to withhold. Joshua didn’t propose a deal in the first place, so the cards I could use were limited.’
Money and advanced showdowns that will start coming in from Keumseol businesses in the future.
For now, there were only two cards Chin could trade with the senate. There was no harm in using it this time, but the more you save, the better. So that it can be used at a more decisive moment.
“A car would be better.”
“Okay, let’s go. To my secret home. But… …you.”
“Speak.”
“Did you really intend to attend the disciplinary meeting like that?”
“Yes. I ran into you at the door and I’m embarrassed to ask you that.”
“Huhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. I can’t imagine how long the Black Sword would have been if he had gone in.”
Tellot ordered the servant to call up his own carriage. The two men boarded the carriage side by side and began to head for his residence.
“Secret residence?”’
All right, all right, all right.….
In the carriage, Tellot was silent. Jindo didn’t bother to show curiosity or start a conversation, but Telot seemed to be pleased with that attitude.
“It’s been a long time since I brought Looncandel here.”
Telot did not seem to have brought him into his own separate quarters in the Sword’s Garden, but deliberately brought him to another place of residence.
Where they got off was an alley outside Carlon.
Kalon is no different from the heart of the Hufester Union, as it is a city with a sword garden. No other city in Hufester was more advanced than Carlon.
Therefore, most of the residents of Kalon had considerable wealth, even if they were commoners.
There was also a slum here. Though subtly out of the administrative district.
Telot’s secret residence was right here.
‘I thought it’d be a big place for a secret home, but it’s a slum.’
The alley was so narrow that the carriage could not get in. I walked for about half an hour through several alleys full of dirt and poor people.
While walking, the beggars, or the poor, looked carefully at the two.
But no one dared to beg.
If you have to live in a poor house, you must want to save this place. What a cruel way to look at them.’
Telot was not at all sympathetic to the poor.
No, beyond not being compassionate, it seemed to hate. Telot’s eyes looking at them were full of murderous intent.
“Is the alley pretty long?”
“Yes.”
“Most of the world would never dream of having such a slum in this city, the heart of Hufester. When I get to the mobile gate, I see all the shiny buildings and the well-cleaned roads.”
Slowly Jean was aware of Telot’s intentions.
a squeaking sound
Tellot is old, no. I opened the wooden door that looked almost worn out. This narrow, dirty house made of roughly layered boards was Telot’s secret home.
The door opened and smelled like a beast.
“Woof woof!”

“Blank!”
“Meow!”
“Come, come, come. Eat your meals.”
Tellot giving food to animals with a kind look. The beasts clung to Telot, leaving marks on his glowing armor.
Jean watched him distribute the food for a long time.
“Do you see why I brought you here?”
“You want the poor to disappear. I think you know my business is going to be money.”
“Without it, we can get rid of it right now. It’s easier to send a guardian to kill all those useless people out there, to get workers to tear down the slums and build a new building than to lift their fingers.”
Telot gently pushed the animals away by hand.
“But it’s not natural. Besides, Looncandel has to leave this slum because it’s not rich enough. There is no need to spend money on useless things. No matter how much money you have.”
Telot smiled gladly at the animals, which clung back to him even though he took them apart them.
“You are generous to animals, judging that the poor are useless.”
“These beasts are not guilty of anything. The beggars deserve to die because they are begging even though their limbs are intact. The reason I keep them alive is not because of compassion. You just don’t have to kill.”
“I see.”
“Do you know? The central city of the Rutero Magic Federation, there’s not a single slum like this in Dracaen.”
“I know. Not only in Drogka, but also in about 20 nearby cities, there are no poor people at all.”
“It’s not because the Zipple is working on the relief of the poor in the central cities. It’s just that there’s so much wealth that it just naturally flows down. To the point of being kicked.”
It was as Tellot said.
With its financial strength alone, Looncandel dealt with the second or third in the world with Beemment. The first, however, was richer than the combined wealth of the two powers.
“I think the business you started, could close the gap between Jipple and our financial strength. That way, this slum will turn into a decent place without having to exert itself.”
“Do you mean to pay some of the business proceeds to the Sword Garden?”
“Yes.”
“I’m sure you’ve given it a little bit on your own if you let it go.”
“f*ck. As I’ve seen, you’re the kind of man who never shares his own with anyone else.”
“What percentage of the proceeds do you want?”
Tellot’s eyes narrowed.
“20 per cent.”
I was surprised inside.
If it were any other senior, I’d certainly have called a much larger percentage for the same situation.
“Surely, you’ve seen me right. If you’d called for more than that, you’d never have responded.”
“Without deception, if you give 20 per cent faithfully every month. I’ll help your business as much as I can. It’s not impossible to get rid of all the disciplinary actions that have been stopped in Yubo.”
More than 20 percent were ready to be torn down by their families anyway. I thought up to 50%, but it was actually a problem that Jean didn’t have to worry about when Tellot came out like this.
“But I can’t give you 20 percent just for disciplinary action. I’m a little short of the price.”
However, I thought it would be better if I could get some extra money.
“What more do you want?”
“Tell me about the relationship between the president and the second term.”
gorden looncandel
He was undoubtedly Rosa’s man, but Jean learned a new piece of information in a conversation with Joshua earlier.
Joshua cannot control the senate completely.
“He seemed to want me not to be reprimanded for being grounded.’
Tellot shrugged.
“Smart hair shows signs of laxity in obvious problems. Isn’t that obvious? Jorden Looncandel, the elder and the second-term are co-prosperity and rivalry.”
“I’ve never heard of competition, though I’ve said it’s a win-win situation.”
Tellot opened his eyes wide.
And within a few seconds, he nodded as if he was convinced.
“Oh, well, you’re a little different from me, and you’re a little bit different. Just know one thing. The elder hasn’t given up on his dream of a family.”
Most of those who spent their time with Jordan knew it.
However, Jin had no choice but to know because he was living in a completely different era from them. Because everyone’s shirking.
I was relieved of your behavior before, but the elder Zorden is a formidable figure, unlike his looks. He’s just such a narrow-minded old man, but he’s very clever and tough.
I know. He survived the sequencing war with his father.
Well, it’s… ..it’s fair to say that the housekeeper just let it go. Anyway, why did you run like a crazy dog when you said you knew him so well?
Suddenly, right after the appointment ceremony, a conversation with Jed came to mind.
‘……I can see why the old master brought in a three-year ban. I tried to use it to put a leash on me and use it to keep Joshua in check.’
Now I understand.
It was Jorden, not Joshua, who tried to offer him a deal under the pretext of disciplinary action.
The spine felt cool.
If Jorden had only known that he was a self-proclaimed “Joshua’s helper,” he would always have responded accordingly.
“Looking at the look on his face, I think I’ve paid the right price now.”
“It was a satisfying story.”
“Okay, I’m going back now. I’ll have someone send the contract for this transaction to your room. But don’t forget that even if you have my protection, your business will not be completely safe.”
“I’d appreciate it if you could just be an umbrella.”
Telot spent a long time in the slums, caressing the beasts.
After watching it outside for a while, Chin thought:
‘Ho Min-ho, strange man.’
On the other hand, Telot felt this way when he saw where Jean had left.
I’m looking forward to seeing if the 12th rider can bring fresh change to Looncandel.’
