The Founder of the Great Financial Family

Chapter 43



Chapter 43

The next day, the lord had to face the Hound Mercenary Captain and his men who visited him. 

Of course, the lord didn't greet them by himself. 

Several Seers sat behind the lord, who sat opposite the Mercenary Captain and the Overseer, who could be called the Captain of the Seers.

Looking at their faces, it seems they've realised that this isn't a common subjugation mission,' 

Orc subjugation was one matter, but an Orc Sorcerer was a matter of its own. Thus, the lord, Chester, who hid his slyness, began to talk. 

"What brought you here today? If it's about the subjugation, then I believe you should have already started," 

When he glanced at the Hound Mercenaries, their expressions were desolate. 

"I have paid half the money in advance as well. What's the problem?" 

When the lord spoke with such shamelessness, the Mercenary Captain became angry, but he knew he had to solve this problem with words. 

"While we were working, we came across something unexpected," 

"Unexpected?" The lord scratched his chin, tilting his head curiously, 

"What is it then?" 

"There was something you didn't tell us about," 

"Won't you talk clearly?" 

The lord raised his palms and shrugged, glancing to the Seers around him as though he was dumbfounded, 

"Was there anything I didn't mention?" 

Of course, the Seers, who were on the lord's side, did not intend to say any nonsense. Instead, they answered, 

"Was there such a thing? We are unaware of this," 

The lord, who nodded and looked back at the Hound Mercenaries for their reaction, then asked the Captain, 

"Did you find that there were more Orcs than you initially anticipated?" 

"That wasn't the case. The number of Orcs doesn't matter to us," 

"Really? Siron," 

The lord called for one of the Seers. 

Overseer; Siron Mark. He was the Captain of all the Seers and the person in charge of all of the territory's security. 

"Yes, my lord," 

"Is there anything you didn't tell me about?" 

"There was no such thing, my lord. I tend to include every detail of the estate onto my reports to the lord," 

The Overseer drew attention to the Mercenary Captain. 

"If it is the reputation of the Hound Mercenaries, then they should be enough to handle any number of Orcs. I'm sure there wouldn't have been any problems."

He continued, 

"The Hound Mercenaries wouldn't have come all the way here just because of the number of Orcs, so it's surprising to me as well I don't know why they would have come searching for you, my lord," 

The Mercenary Captain, Carl, was becoming uncomfortable with them taking off and talking on their own but tried to calm down because there would be nothing good about becoming estranged with the lord at this stage. 

"There was an Orc Sorcerer. We confirmed this ourselves," 

"Orc Sorcerer?" 

As if they had only just understood why they had come to see him, the lord and his men began to pour out their reactions as the Mercenary Captain wanted. 

"The Orcs have a sorcerer if it's a Sorcerer, wouldn't that be like a Mage among the Orcs?" 

"Yes, that's right. If it's a mage, it's definitely. A problem."
