Mr. Pantalone has no crazy plans today.

"Oh? Is that so? It's just some busybody's joke, don't take it seriously."

"Oh, is that so? I'd like to hear some more interesting answers."

This made Columbia, who had been looking forward to seeing how Pantalone would react, feel slightly bored after seeing Pantalone's response; she had originally thought she could find some fun.

As for Pantalone, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Colombian say that he was looking for fun.

It can only be said that he gave the right answer. Just when he thought he had probably escaped this soul-searching interrogation from Columbia, Columbia, who was feeling a bit bored, suddenly seemed to sense something.

Then, Columbia, who had been getting a little bored, seemed to have discovered something interesting.

“That’s interesting… There’s someone outside who seems to be looking for you. He appears to be one of the other executives’ subordinates, and it seems he wants to talk to you about something.”

Colombia's sudden voice startled Pantalone slightly.

I don't understand how Columbia knew about this when she was right next to him.

Perhaps sensing Pantalone's confusion, Colombian smiled slightly and explained.

"It's just a minor special ability. So, are you going to meet that person?"

This question made Pantalone fall into deep thought. Who was this person who came specifically to talk to him?

He shouldn't have any similar conversation partners in his memory, so what exactly is this person who came to talk to him about?

However, Pantalone only thought about it casually and didn't dwell on it for too long.

In the end, everything will be clear once he sees it; there's no need to waste his brain cells here.

After thinking for a while, Pantalone quickly made a decision.

After a moment of contemplation, he said calmly.

"Then let's go see him and see what he has to say to me."

After receiving his reply, Columbia hummed a cheerful tune and then jumped off the table next to her.

After tidying up her hair and clothes, she turned to look at Pantalone.

"Let's go."

This made Pantalone, who had originally wanted to say something, feel...

So, are you the party involved, or am I?

……

Inside the waiting room of the Northern Bank Mansion, a thin, masked man was sitting at the coffee table.

Beside him were the other guards and security personnel of the Fools, who were responsible for protecting the mansion. They were watching him closely, both as a form of surveillance of the visitor and as a matter of their own responsibility as the mansion's security personnel.

He was the man who had entrusted Arecino with the task of exposing the scheme plotted by the executive officer, "The Rich Man," Pantalone.

His reasons for accepting the mission, besides his loyalty to Arecino himself, also included his hatred and admiration for the executive officer "The Rich" Pantalone.

He admired Pantalone's contributions to Winter itself, but at the same time he hated Pantalone's exploitation of the majority, even though he understood that it might be necessary for Winter as a whole, he still could not condone it.

Of course, there might also be an element of admiration for Mr. Pantalone, which is why he wanted to challenge him.

The sense of accomplishment he felt from challenging someone he admired was unimaginable to him.

It was this contradictory thinking that drove him to make this decision.

"Please ask Lord Pantalone for instructions. I have some things I would like to discuss with him."

Just as he made this application to the person in charge of the mansion, expecting to wait a long time for a response, he found that the owner of the mansion had already appeared in front of him.

Seeing that Pantalone, dressed in civilian clothes, had interrupted the person in charge who was about to report, he looked at him and said.

"No need, I'm already here. Just continue with what you're supposed to be doing."

The others didn't say much when they saw Pantalone arrive.

After receiving Pantalone's instructions, they returned to their posts and performed their duties.

And just after Pantalone appeared, he took his seat in front of him.

While he was still in shock, he also noticed a mysterious girl next to Pantalone.

Before he could even figure out who the girl was, Pantalone's words interrupted his thoughts.

"Speak, what do you want from me?"

"I must say, as expected of the wise Lord Pantalone, he knew of my existence so early on. Is this foresight one of the reasons that helped you reach your current position?"

After recovering from his daze, the man couldn't help but sigh.

He could only sigh, no wonder the "servant" valued Lord Pantalone so much, it seemed that Lord Pantalone was hiding something extraordinary.

Otherwise, how could they have learned of his arrival so quickly?

This must be because Lord Pantalone has an intelligence network that he is unaware of.

However, Pantalone found this statement rather strange. He had clearly only come out because the "girl" said that she had a guest.

Do all you Fools like to fantasize about your bosses like this?

However, although Pantalone knew about this, he would never say it out loud.
