I Fell into the Game with Instant Kill

Chapter 15.3: Alkimas Workshop (2)

“Who the hell was that, Sister?”

At the words of her brother, Thane, Scarlett shrugged.

“I don’t know.”

“Honestly, I’m concerned. He’s the one who paid such a huge amount right on the spot…”

“Well, judging from what he said, it looks like he’ll come back soon, so we’ll know then.”

Of course, Scarlett was also curious about the man’s identity.

The attitude of treating three platinum coins as if they were a small amount of money without even signing a contract.

It would be difficult for even the most wealthy or high-ranking aristocrats to do so.

There were some people who used money to bluff and then scammed businesses, but there were no lunatics who would do that using platinum coins. At that point, that would no longer be considered a bluff.

A human male with black hair and golden eyes…

Where the hell did he come from?

It occurred to her that the other might be someone who was not from Calderic at all.

Thane muttered.

“Come to think of it, there are rumors that the Seventh Lord who arrived in the city yesterday is also a black-haired human male…”

For a moment, the two of them closed their mouths and looked at each other.

Soon, Scarlett smiled and said.

“Say something that makes sense.”

“Haha, is that so? I just thought of it and said it.”

To think that a Lord would visit this workshop in person.

Rather, someone from a royal family of a neutral country would be much more realistic.

The flow of thoughts naturally led to the Seventh Lord.

Scarlett’s expression darkened slightly.

Regardless of what kind of person the new Seventh Lord would be, the problem with the high-ranking members of Varia was much bigger.

She knew well that the reason those people hadn’t been able to do big tricks so far was because of the regent.

However, that ended with the new Seventh Lord ascending to the throne.

Those people would slowly reveal their teeth to the workshop again.

I can expect the Seventh Lord to mediate.

The possibility that the Lord would be interested in the fight between Varia and the workshop, there was no hint of such a thing.

And if the Lord was indifferent, the side that the territory’s high-ranking officials would side with was, of course, the Varia Merchant Corps, who could bring there more profits.

Scarlett sighed. She remembered her struggles with those people just a few years ago.

As the owner of the workshop and the head of the Atima family, the responsibility was heavy.

“How nice it would be if I could just focus on alchemy research without worrying about anything.”

At the words she spat out, as if grumbling, Thane looked at her with calm eyes.

He was also a member of the family, so he knew things were not going well.

“Don’t worry too much, Sister. Those people would be busy to pay any attention to us, so they won’t be able to do anything right away…”

It was then.

Knock knock.

“Come on in.”

A vassal entered the room with a dark expression.

“What’s going on?”

“Varia Merchants accompanied Bark and visited the workshop directly.”

“…!”

“They say they want to have a formal conversation right now to fix our difference in opinion.”

Scarlett burst out laughing with a stunned expression.

“What formal conversation after coming here without a warning…”

“What should I do, house head?”

“Call the elders together. We’ll have to listen to what nonsense they’re going to say again.”

It was practically a threat, so she couldn’t ignore it.

Although she spoke calmly, Scarlett’s face showed her deep thoughts.

Varia’s side was moving into action much sooner than they thought.
