Is it for real, meow?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Where Uren pointed, 10,000 swords were orderly embedded upside down in the ground. There really was a sword farm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And believing in the ridiculous idea that swords could be grown, a single weasel was energetically running around, watering the swords.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was still unclear whether this was a scam or just a failed business venture. However, from afar, the swords looked severely rusted to the extent that they appeared red.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Theo~nim, look over there. They were originally the size of daggers, but it seems they’ve almost fully grown now!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Uren spoke in an excited voice as he looked at the 10,000 rusted long swords stuck in the ground. Thanks to that, Theo became certain again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Uren got scammed, meow!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swords growing, meow? That made no sense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘He’s a real sucker, meow! I want to easily make money by scamming Uren, meow!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Theo’s mind, 100 ways to easily obtain gold through scams came to mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘I can’t do that, meow! I, Vice Chairman Theo, am the assistant to the great detective Sherlock Sejun, meow! I cannot compromise with crime, meow!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of Sejun, Theo steeled his heart once again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While Theo was steadying his momentarily shaken resolve,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hey! Tolt!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Uren called out authoritatively to the brown weasel, Tolt, who owed him a 100 billion Tower Coins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since he came to collect the money, Uren was in a dominant position.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ah…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just when Uren called him, Tolt tripped and fell to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huh?! Tolt, are you okay?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Uren’s voice became softer, thinking it was his call that made Tolt fall. He was now talking in a lowered voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No, it’s fine. But… Uren, did you come to collect money? As you can see, my situation is…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tolt clutched his leg, making a pitiful expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Well… I guess so. When will it be possible then?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Uren, now in a lower stance, asked Tolt when he could get the money.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Well…there seems to be a lack of fertilizer, so the swords keep rusting…until a few days ago, 10 of them were legendary-grade swords…I think I need to buy more fertilizer.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>L-legendary grade? Then how much money would you need to buy fertilizer?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Uren got excited at Tolt’s words. Now it was Uren who became desperate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No… how can I have the nerve to…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No, it’s okay! Just a little more and there will be ten legendary swords! I’ll lend you a bit more money! In exchange, sell those legendary swords to me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ahem. If Uren really insists on lending me more… just 20 billion Tower Coins…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is that enough? I’ll just lend you 50 billion Tower Coins.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At Uren’s words, Tolt’s mouth corners slightly rose before quickly dropping.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I feel so bad about this. I’m always just receiving help…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We all help each other out. And later, you agreed to sell those legendary swords to me, right? I will even give you a proper price for them.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Uren comforted Tolt, who felt apologetic. A true sucker was right here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>***\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>99th floor of the Black Tower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright.

Thump!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the meantime, Sejun kept kicking the walnut trees to drop more nuts. Due to Sejun’s weak strength, he had to kick each tree at least ten times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While he was kicking a tree,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thunk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huh?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among the falling walnuts, a red walnut caught his eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘It’s a new variety.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sejun had a hunch but no additional message appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s this? Something like a Special Training Walnut?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Curious, Sejun picked up the red walnut from the ground and checked its options.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>→ A walnut grown in the Tower with a rare chance of appearing and is delicious from absorbing sufficient nutrients.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>→ This walnut has a harder shell than the Special Training Walnuts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>→ Each time you crack the shell, your strength increases by 50.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hell Training?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even harder than Special Training Walnuts?

Thump!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sejun continued to kick walnut trees and harvest walnuts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A little while later,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Done.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After dropping all the walnuts, Sejun, along with Black Rabbit and Cuengi, began collecting them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From nine walnut trees, he harvested seven Hell Training Walnuts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Given that a single tree yielded about 1000 walnuts, it was indeed a rare occurrence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Sejun was picking up the walnuts,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crunch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crunch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sound of cracking walnuts could be heard from somewhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huh?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sejun followed the sound and saw,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Heheh.

On to the next one!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead of eating the cracked walnuts, Fenrir rushed towards another one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he bit into a Special Training Walnut.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crunch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His weak dragon teeth couldn’t crack the hard shell of the walnut.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kking?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Why won’t this crack?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I am Fenrir, the god hunting wolf and the 1st seat of the Apostle of Destruction?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite Fenrir’s threats and efforts, the Special Training Walnut remained intact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just another day for the hapless Fenrir.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Blackie, crack this one instead.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amused by Fenrir’s foolishness, Sejun sneakily swapped the the Special Training Walnut with a Training Walnut.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crunch!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kking!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘I knew I am strong!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thanks to this, Fenrir was brimming with confidence again today.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>***\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While Uren was voluntarily offering to pay 50 billion Tower Coins to Tolt,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘That cunning guy, meow!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Theo saw through the cunning behind Tolt’s cute face. How? Well… his face just looked like that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On top of that, the meticulous acting of deliberately falling when Uren called earlier. It seemed getting a confession out of him would be quite tricky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Puhuhut. No need to worry, meow! At times like this, Detective Sherlock Sejun said to scold with evidence, meow!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Theo had once heard about advanced investigative techniques while playing detective with Sejun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Puhuhut.

This is a locked room case, meow!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Theo stretched out his right front paw towards his right front paw man, Piyot, and exclaimed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Piyo?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[A locked room case?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing Theo’s words, Piyot looked around. There’s no locked room here?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s right, meow! Chairman Park said that most cases happen in locked rooms, meow! Now, let’s find that locked room, meow!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Theo’s method of searching for a locked room was baseless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Theo started scanning the surroundings with his front paws mimicking binoculars.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Piyo! Piyo!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Ah! So we need to find a locked room!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Piyot also tried to mimic Theo’s front paws with his wings and started searching for the hidden locked room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Puhuhut. Found it, meow!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luckily, Theo actually found a real locked room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Creak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Theo opened the entrance of the locked room disguised as a rock,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hey! Tolt, did that pig leave?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hehe. That pig, I bet he can’t even imagine that we’re keeping watch at the entrance.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That pig should at least say something if he’s coming. Look, how hastily we planted longswords because of that pig…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Tolt, how much did you manage to swindle off this time?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking Tolt was back, the weasels eagerly chattered, proudly confessing their crimes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the locked room, the table was laden with food and drinks, seemingly for a party, and gold scammed from Uren was everywhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hey. Tolt, why aren’t you answering?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yeah, why are you so quiet?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Usually, Tolt would quickly come down to brag about how he scammed Uren, but his silence made the weasels look toward the entrance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Puhuhut.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead of Tolt, it was Theo looking down at them with a sly grin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“……”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“……”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The locked room became quiet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the weasels hastily tried to reach for their weapons,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’ll get in trouble if you attack, meow!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Snap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Theo unsheathed his dragon claws and struck the air towards the locked room, making a ‘thud’ sound as a fist-sized hole formed in the wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hole was so deep that its end was not visible. It was one of Theo’s new skills. One-Meow Punch\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gulp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The weasels froze, realizing they were up against a formidable opponent and there was nowhere to escape in the locked room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Puhuhut. All of you, come out, meow!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Theo watched the weasels coming out of the locked room,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Piyo!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Stamp it!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Piyot took out slave contracts and collected the weasels’ prints.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Piyo!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Theo~nim, I got them all!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once all the paw prints were collected, a total of 107 slave contracts were completed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Now go back and bring the gold, meow!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>““Yes!””\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The enslaved weasels obeyed Theo’s command and went back into the locked room to start filling Theo’s bag with gold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>***\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thank you! I’ll make sure to grow legendary-grade swords and pay back all the money I borrowed!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes…Please do…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course! You can count on me!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tolt, having received 50 billion Tower Coins, patted the anxious Uren’s shoulder and spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The power dynamics were completely reversed at some point.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘I can scam him again by promising to sell legendary-grade swords.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Tolt was smiling bitterly and planning his final big score,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tolt’s eyes widened as he saw the companions Uren had brought along tying up his colleagues like dried fish on a string and dragging them over. Why are you guys there?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘I’m doomed!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment Tolt saw his colleagues captured, he turned to flee without a second thought for anything else.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But his body wouldn’t move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kkuik! Kkuik!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, rough breathing was heard nearby. At some point, Uren had grabbed Tolt’s shoulder tightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Tolt realized he was doomed seeing Theo dragging the weasels, Uren intuitively understood that he had been scammed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though he still didn’t know exactly what scam he had fallen for.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After capturing Tolt and making him confess the scam, and getting the print on the slave contract,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Puhuhut. Uren, hand over 75 billion Tower Coins, meow!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Theo charged Uren a 50-50 fee, including the 50 billion Tower Coins he had just been scammed out of.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, here you go!
