A Man in Another World: The Yellow-Haired Warrior Who Infiltrated Pure Love

Page 67

In the latter case, if Finrick does indeed have a cooperative relationship with the nobles, then when the nobles investigate, the matter will inevitably involve the village.

Old Jess's face immediately darkened...

Things seem to be much more complicated than expected.

"Yongtai, tell me about your situation."

Old Jess turned his gaze to Yong-tae, wanting to hear what Yong-tae had to say. This kid wasn't unreasonable; the incident happened suddenly, and no one knew what had happened.

"He has his eye on my fiancée."

Yong-tae glared at Finrick with hatred.

"Yes! I admit it!"

Finrick readily admitted it.

"Having feelings for someone is one thing, and liking pretty girls is a man's nature, but I didn't do anything to you. You come up here and say I hid Hannah. I hid you in the dam!"

As a player with good manners, Finrick, with someone backing him up, would blurt out profanities without hesitation.

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible! Village Chief! You must stand up for me!"

Yong-tae could no longer hold back his tears...

"It couldn't be anyone else but Finrick!"

"Tell me what happened. If you're not wrong, the village chief will stand up for you."

Old Jess's attitude was very clear: I can believe what you say, but you have to provide evidence.

"..."

Yong-tae fell silent...

What should I say? That I was cheated on?

If I were to say that out loud, I would lose all face.

"There's no evidence, is that right?"

A hint of helplessness flashed in Old Jess's eyes as he looked up at the two burly men holding Yongtai down...

"You two, lock Yong-tae in the warehouse and keep him under surveillance."

Then old Jess looked at Finrick.

“Let’s go to your estate. I’ll take an accountant to take stock of the losses caused by Yong-tae, and also to see if Hannah is at your house.”

"Impossible, absolutely impossible. I have no connection with Hannah whatsoever. No matter how I think about it, it couldn't have been me. That useless bastard can't even keep an eye on his own wife and he's causing me trouble. I'm innocent!"

Finrick stood tall and proud, looking confident.

……

"It's terrifying. I never thought Mr. Yong-tae would do something like this."

Lilan shook his head and sighed.

"By the God of Light, I will dedicate my entire life to using Your teachings to reform this barbaric village..."

"Sister, let's go back."

Katyusha shook Rilan's arm.

"The procurement work is done, it's about time to go back, let's go."

Lilan nodded.

"I need to tell you something, let's talk about it when we get home~"

Katyusha looked mysterious.

"Hmm? Is there something we can't say here?"

Lilan looked at Katyusha with some confusion, wondering what kind of bad idea the girl had come up with this time.

"Oh, please, sis, please tell us at home. I'll be too embarrassed to tell outside~~~"

Katyusha immediately resorted to acting cute.

"Okay, okay, we'll talk about it when we get home."

Lilan reluctantly agreed; he was going back anyway, so a little longer wouldn't make a difference.

"Goodbye, Yuan Hua, I'm going home with my sister now~"

Katyusha turned around and raised an eyebrow at Yuan Hua.

"Leave it to me."

Yuan Hua couldn't hide the smile on his face any longer.

"Of course, I trust you completely with your work, really."

……

"Village chief, you don't actually believe that bitch's nonsense, do you?"

Finrick stood beside the village chief, watching a group of people busily cleaning the manor.

Would you mind if I told you the truth?

Old Jess turned his head and glanced at Finrick.

"of course."

Finrick's brows were furrowed, his displeasure practically written all over his face.

“You have too many flaws. Without enough evidence, even if I believe you, the villagers won’t. I have to give the villagers an explanation.”

Old Jess took a deep drag on his pipe.

“If you really haven’t done anything wrong, then let them search you. As for the losses, Yong-tae will bear all the compensation after the inventory is completed.”

"Hmph, village chief, it's not that I don't trust you, but you should know that Yongtai, that poor bastard, can't afford to pay the compensation."

Finrick crossed his arms and gave a cold laugh.

"You still have to pay compensation!"

Old Jess slammed his cane heavily on the ground.

"As an adventurer with hands and feet, it's only a matter of time before Yongtai repays your losses."

"I can't wait that long."

A wicked glint flashed in Finrick's eyes...

"Of course, if someone can provide collateral, I might reluctantly consider it..."

(Yuan Hua: Go on, I'm listening. Family members in front of the screen, every full subscription is like shoving a bomb into his mouth, there's no limit.)

"Dissuade you from your wicked thoughts."

Old Jess's hand, which was holding a cane, bulged with veins, and countless cracks immediately appeared on the granite floor...

“In my eyes, you are all immature children, and I have an obligation to correct you when you do wrong.”

"..."

Finrick turned his head away. Others might not know the old man's strength, but he knew it very well. A sixth-tier warrior, equivalent to a mage. It was Old Jess who saved his father's life, which was why his family settled here.

(Mage levels: Apprentice Mage, Low-level Mage, Intermediate Mage, High-level Mage, Grand Mage, Archmage, Spellcaster, Forbidden Spellcaster, Great Calamity.)

(P.S.: Ascension is actually not a fake; she's very strong...)

The villagers who came to search ran up to old Jess.

"Village chief, we haven't found Hannah. We've searched the basement and everything else."

"I understand. Go and help take stock of the losses. I'll settle your payment later."

Old Jess nodded in acknowledgment.

"Hmph, I already said it wasn't me! I'm innocent, Village Chief!"

Finrick was clearly smug, his smirk practically reaching for the sky.

"Quiet down, you're giving me a headache..."

Old Jess sat down on a bench by the roadside and slowly closed his eyes...

"If only these kids were half as well-behaved as Yuan Hua..."
