Chapter 327, Chapter

100. What kind of punishment…(3)

“The disciplinary meeting is over?”

Telot nodded with an expressionless face.

“May I ask what the disposition was? There is no way that a 3-year ban from going out could have been confirmed without the person concerned.”

“Do you think this is an absurd punishment?”

“Yes that’s right.”

“In some aspects?”

“Because this is a discipline that has never been seen before in the history of Runkandel. Curfew literally means robbing of one’s physical freedom, which is unacceptable as a rider of Runkandel. If the fact that I am not allowed to go out is known to the outside world, the image of Runkandel will become ridiculous.”

When Jin spoke clearly, a faint smile spread across Telot’s lips. It was a laugh, confused whether it was a mockery or a smile.

“That’s right. But the punishment you received is the same. 3 years ban from going out.”

“Are there still elders inside?”

“Are you going to go in and argue?”

“That’s right.”

“Are the elders willing to give up discipline just because you argue?”

“I appreciate your worries, but I tend to have a knack for letting things go if it doesn’t work.”

Jin looked into Telot’s eyes and said.

Silence passed for a few seconds. Just as he was about to pass by without waiting for an answer, Telot lightly grabbed Jin’s shoulder.

“I have withheld your punishment. So stop.”

Jin’s eyes widened.

“You stopped my discipline…? Chairman Homin?”

“okay.”

Deferring the punishment was clearly an act of helping Jin.

So Jin thought of a truth that most people in the world know. That there is no favor without reason.

‘There was no way he would have shown me any favors without any intention. It’s the Homin Chairman… I only remember that I failed to occupy the Colon ruins long before I was born.’

Telot Runcandel.

Jin didn’t know who he was. It was only natural that he had never had anything to do with the Council of Elders in his previous life. Therefore, he had no idea what his intention was to approach him.

“Chairman Homin, what do you want from me?”

When asked directly, Telot let out another low laugh.

“You are indeed a good-natured friend. How about a cup of tea with this old man? Or are you going to go in and fight the elders, saying they won’t accept even suspension of discipline?”

There was no need to worry.

The three groups that make up the Council of Elders.

The Black Sword Society, the Hobeophoe, and the Hominhoe.

Among them, the Hominhoe had the least influence, but Telot, the head of the Hominhoe, had a voice that was incomparably greater than that of Jin.

The story that if Telot decided to postpone, Jin’s ‘maximum’ result would be close to reservation.

‘Maybe even the reservation was hard. Joshua didn’t propose a deal in the first place, so the cards I could use were limited.’

In the future, money and advanced decisive battles that will start coming in from Golden Snow businesses.

Currently, there are only two hands that Jin can trade with the Council of Elders. There was nothing wrong with using it this time, but the more sparing the hand, the better. So that it can be used at a more decisive moment.

“I’d rather have tea.”

“Okay, let’s go. to my secret abode. By the way… Hey.”

“Tell me.”

“Did you really intend to attend the disciplinary meeting like that?”

“yes. We met at the door, but it’s embarrassing to ask such a question.”

“Heh heh heh. I was fortunate to know that I had a different opinion than the other elders. If I went in as it was, I can’t imagine how rampant the Black Sword chairman would have been.”

Telot ordered a servant to bring his own carriage. The two of them climbed into the carriage side by side and started heading towards his residence.

‘A secret residence?’

Quiet, loud…

Inside the carriage, Telot was speechless. Jin didn’t bother showing curiosity or trying to start a conversation, but Telot seemed to appreciate such an attitude.

“It’s been a while since I brought Runkandel here.”

It seemed that Telot deliberately brought him to another residence instead of bringing him to his villa in the Garden of Swords.

The place they got off was an alley outside Calon.

Calon is the heart of the Hufester Union as much as it is a city with a sword garden. No city in Hufestor was more advanced than Calon.

That’s why most of Calon’s residents, even commoners, had amassed considerable wealth.

There were also slums here. Although it is subtly out of the administrative district.

Telot’s secret abode was right here.

‘I thought it would be a grand space because it’s a secret residence, but it’s a slum.’

The alley was so narrow that a carriage could not enter. I walked for about thirty minutes through several alleys full of filth and the poor.

As they walked, the beggars or the poor looked at the two cautiously.

But no one dared to beg.

‘If you dare to live in the slums, you seem to want to save this place. How come the eyes looking at them are savage.’

Telot had no pity for the poor.

No, it seemed to hate beyond pity. The two eyes of Telot looking at them were full of murderous intent.

“Isn’t the alleyway quite long?”

“yes.”

“Most of the world would never have dreamed that there is a slum like this in this city, the heart of Hufester. When you arrive at the transit gate, you will see only shiny buildings and well-paved roads.”

Gradually, Jin was aware of Telot’s intentions.

Sigh.

Telot is outdated no. I opened the wooden door that looked almost dead. This narrow, filthy house, made of roughly stacked planks, was Telot’s secret abode.

As soon as the door opened, it smelled like an animal.

“Whoa!”

“bruise!”

“Meow!”

“Oh come on. Eat your food.”

Telot distributes food to the beasts with benevolent eyes. The beasts clung to Telot, leaving marks on his polished armor.

Jin just watched him handing out food for a while.

“Do you know why I brought you here?”

“You want the slums to end. I think they recognized that my business would make money.”

“If you want to get rid of it, you can get rid of it right now. Sending the Guardian Knights to kill all the worthless humans outside and having the workers tear down the slums and build new buildings is easier than lifting a finger.”

Telot gently pushed the beasts away with his hand.

“But it is not natural. Besides, Runkandel doesn’t have enough wealth to leave the slums alone. There is no need to spend money on useless things. No matter how much money you have.”

Seeing the beasts clinging to them even after they were removed, Telot smiled heartily.

“You are tolerant of animals while you conclude that the poor are worthless.”

“Are these beasts innocent? Beggars deserve to die because they are begging even though their limbs are intact. The reason I keep them alive is not out of pity. You just don’t have to kill me.”

“okay.”

“You know? There is not a single slum like this in Drakka, the central city of the Lutero Magic Federation.”

“I know. Not only Draka, but also the fact that there are no poor people in the 20 or so nearby cities.”

“It’s not because Zipple is focusing on helping the poor in the central cities. It’s just a result of the fact that Zipple has so much wealth that it naturally flows downward. To the point of being kicked.”

It was as Telot said.

With only financial power, Runkandel competed with Bement for second or third place in the world. But the first, Ziple, had more wealth than the combined funds of the two powers.

“I think the business you started can bridge the financial gap between Zipple and us. Then, this slum will be transformed into a decent space without the need to use force.”

“Are you saying that we should give some of the business proceeds to the Garden of Swords?”

“Yes.”

“If it was that matter, I would have paid for it to some extent even if I had left it alone.”

“gibberish. From what I’ve seen, you’re the kind of person who never shares what you have with anyone else.”

“What percentage of the proceeds do you want?”

Telot’s pupils narrowed.

“20%.”

I was amazed at my heart.

Any other elder would have slain a much larger percentage in the same situation.

“You seem to have seen me right. If you called me any more, I would never have responded.”

“If you faithfully give 20% every month without cheating. I will help your business as much as I can. It is not impossible to get rid of the discipline that has been suspended in reservations.”

Anyway, more than 20% was prepared to be ripped off by the family. I thought up to 50%, but since Telot came out like this, it was actually a problem that Jin didn’t have to worry about.

“But you can’t give 20% to the discipline alone. The price I get is a little short.”

However, I thought it would be better if I could get a bonus.

“What more would you like to receive?”

“Tell me about the relationship between the senior president and the second rider.”

Jorden Runcandel.

He was undoubtedly Rosa’s man, but Jin learned one new piece of information from his conversation with Joshua earlier.

That Joshua cannot ‘completely’ control the Council of Elders.

‘He secretly hoped that I wouldn’t be punished by being banned from going out.’

Telot shrugged.

“You show a sloppy appearance on an obvious problem with a smart head. Isn’t that obvious? Elder Jorden Runkandel and the 2nd Horseman are in a mutually beneficial and competitive relationship.”

“As you said, win-win is obvious, but it’s the first time you’ve heard about competition.”

Telot widened her eyes.

And after a few seconds, he nodded as if he understood.

“Oh yeah. It could be because you live in a slightly different era from me and the top jockeys. Just know one thing. The elder hasn’t given up on his dream of becoming a family head yet.”

Most of those who had spent years with Jorden knew about it.

However, Jin was living in a completely different era from them, so he had no choice but to know. It’s because everyone is hushing up.

-Ah, your behavior was cool, but Elder Jorden is a formidable person, unlike his appearance. Even if he looks like a narrow-minded old man, he is a very clever and strong man.

-I know. Aren’t you the one who survived the rank war with your father?

-That’s what… It’s correct to interpret that the family head just took care of it. Anyway, why did a guy who knew well run rampant like a mad dog?

I suddenly remembered the conversation I had with Zed right after the flag bearer appointment ceremony.

‘…I can understand why the elder brought the superpower of 3 years ban from going out. He was going to use it to put a leash on me and keep Joshua in check.’

I finally understood.

That it was Jorden, not Joshua, who tried to offer him a deal as punishment.

I felt a chill run down my spine.

If he had known that Jorden was just a person who claimed to be ‘Joshua’s helper’, he would have always responded accordingly.

“From the look on my face, I think I paid the price.”

“It was a satisfying story.”

“Okay, let’s go back. I’ll have someone send the contract for this transaction to your room. But don’t forget that even with my asylum, your business isn’t completely safe.”

“I’d be grateful if you could be at least an umbrella for me.”

Telot spent a long time in the slums petting animals.

Jin looked outside for a while and thought.

‘Chairman Homin is an eccentric person.’

On the other hand, Telot had this feeling after seeing the place where Jin had left.

‘I’m looking forward to seeing if the 12 Horseman can bring a fresh change to Runkandel.’
