My villain wants to save himself, but the yandere heroine disagrees

He has to give an explanation to his brothers, and also to himself.

When he arrived at the forest on the outskirts of the city, as expected, he saw a man standing on the roadside waiting for him from a distance. When the man saw Mudrick coming over, he bowed to him.

"Captain Mudrick, follow me." Having said this, he turned his head and exposed his back to Mudrick without caring, and just led the way in front.

Mudrick frowned, not knowing what the other party was thinking, but given the current situation, he could only take one step at a time.

He followed the other person into the depths of the woods, and then saw a familiar figure in a clearing in the woods.

Litt, Virgil, and behind them, several members of the Iron Wolf Mercenaries who were tied up.

"Captain Mudrick, long time no see." Litt said this with a smile.

It was as if she had forgotten the verbal humiliation Mudrick had hurled at her a few days ago.

"It's been a long time since we last met. I've been missing you these days, Mr. Litt." Mudrick said this and licked his lips, making Litt feel nauseous.

But considering that this was a negotiation, Litt still suppressed his inner discomfort and said, "Captain Mudrick, although we had a lot of unpleasant experiences before, I still hope that we can make peace with each other."

"I know that as mercenaries, what you value most is money. Doing things for others is just doing it for money. You did nothing wrong." Litt said.

"But because you overestimated your own strength this time and failed to complete the commission, you have offended us." Lit said this and looked at Mudrick. "I hope you can tell me who instructed you to do this."

"In this way, I can release your men and compensate you with a sum of money, and from now on, our feud will be written off."

"But you're not sincere enough." Mudrick spotted the problem with his sharp eyes. "I have more men than you have now, right?"

"To prevent you from taking them all here by force.

Let’s go, I only brought some out on purpose.” Li Te explained.

After all, she couldn't just say, "All of you brothers did bad things, and the doctor brought them all to justice." Right?

What's there to talk about? Just start fighting.

"Okay, then you are quite alert." Mudrick didn't say anything after hearing this, but just nodded and accepted this statement.

"However, you should also know that mercenaries never ask about the identity of their employers. They only care about the money in their hands."

"Besides, do you think the people who are doing this would care about spending more money to ask an agent to issue the task?" Mudrick sneered and looked at Litt.

"...So, there's nothing to talk about?" Li Te said in a suppressed voice.

"It's not that there is no problem to discuss, but that it is impossible to discuss at all." Mudrick shook his head. "In this mission, the client is the middleman. Do you need me to explain it to you?"

"No need." Li Te shook his head. "But since the other party is willing to find you, they must believe in your strength, right?"

"Your previous cooperation was not all completed through agents, right?" Litt said, looking at Mudrick.

"You little brat, what do you know?!" Mudrick was shocked when he heard that Litt knew all this.

The other party must know something.

He had the habit of keeping accounts and saving contracts, and thinking about the disappearance of people that night, Mudrick immediately guessed what had happened.

My own house has definitely been invaded!

They secretly looked through their own information.

This is the only possibility.

Thinking of this, Mudrick stared at Litt.

"Boy, don't you know it's rude to barge into someone else's room? Is this what you call sincerity?"

"Sincerity is something that depends on each person." Lit shrugged helplessly. "I think you, Captain Mudrick, are likely to hide something from us, so I'll do this."

"Okay, okay." Mudrick nodded. "Then it seems we don't need to talk anymore."

At this time, he drew his sword from his waist.

"Let him go now, or die. You choose!" Mudrick looked at Litt.

"I think you may have thought too much." Litt said this, smiled nonchalantly, and then clapped his hands.

In the shadow of the woods, the orange-haired half-orc girl who had saved Leeteuk and his men that day walked out.

She stood in front of Litt, staring at Mudrick.

"Captain Mudrick, do you think you can beat this guy?" Lit smiled. "Now it's my turn to make the conditions, right? Hand over all the confidential documents in your storage ring."

"Otherwise..." Litt said this, drew Virgil's sword, and walked to the prisoners behind him.

"I will kill one of your brothers every minute." As she said this, her tone was tainted with a hint of ruthlessness.

That night she looked over all the contracts for the Iron Wolf Mercenaries.

The further he turned the pages, the more turbulent Leeteuk's heart became.

As the saying goes, where there is demand, there is a market. As the commissioned party, the mercenary group should be evaluated separately from the commissioned event.

But after seeing all the evil things the Iron Wolf Mercenaries did later, Litt decided not to let anyone from the Iron Wolf Mercenaries go.

Yes, mercenaries do things for money, but it is precisely because they do everything that the nobles unscrupulously use the mercenaries as their black gloves.

There are a number of mercenary groups in society that only take on legitimate business, such as escorting caravans and rescuing hostages. Although they don't make much money, at least they don't harm anyone.

What the Iron Wolf Mercenary Group did could be understood as a way to make a living before, but afterwards it completely deteriorated and turned into taking illegal jobs to make money.

Many mercenaries with ideals and ambitions chose to withdraw from the Iron Wolf Mercenary Group after seeing its missions, and most of those who stayed here were people who were willing to give up all morals for money.

Do you feel guilty about killing these people?

Obviously not.

If the doctor was at the scene at this moment and saw what Litt did, he would definitely applaud Litt.

He thought that Lit was just a child, but he didn't expect that Lit had become mature.

At least, the aspect of not showing mercy makes him very much like Orson.

(PS: This chapter is a little late, but considering that it is 1 words, you will definitely forgive me.

Forgive me, will you? By the way, please support me with monthly votes. I had reached the 13th place of the month before, but now I am almost out of the top 20. I obviously need to update so much.)

Chapter 8: Do you think I'm a level ? (K)

"Mr. Litt, do you think I'm too kind?" Mudrick said this and looked at Litt with a smile.

"My brothers have followed me through life and death for many years and have experienced all kinds of storms," ​​Mudrick continued.

"I treat them well on a daily basis. The salaries and mission bonuses I give them are among the highest in the Imperial City. Since the day they joined the group, they have been prepared to die one day."

"Do you think you can threaten me by using them?"

"Yeah, it's not a threat." Lit nodded after hearing that.

Then she winked at the orange-haired girl, who nodded, rushed forward, drew her sword and stabbed Mudrick.

Seeing this, Mudrick also drew his sword and fought with the orc girl.

……

Go back to one day ago.

Inside the café in Saint Laurent City.

"Sister Chelinina." Lit looked at Chelinina who was sitting opposite him and gave her a kind smile.

"Mr. Lit, why did you ask me to come here today?" Chelinina looked at Lit and asked with some confusion.

She was doing business in Saint Laurent City these two days, and Litt didn't know from whom he got the information, but he actually took the initiative to find Chelinina.

Chelinina looked at Lit across from her with some emotion.

The last time she saw Lit, she was still the little brother who only followed Orson, being timid and afraid to bother others. She didn't expect that Lit has grown to the point where he can be so polite and generous when meeting people alone.

After all, the relationship between himself and Li Te was not that good, and the only connection between the two was Orson.

"No need to be so polite, just call me Litsu, Sister Chelinina." Litsu smiled.

"Okay, Lit." Upon hearing this, Chelinina also showed a relaxed smile.

"What's the matter with you looking for me this time?"

"That..." Litt said this, still feeling a little embarrassed, and then she looked up at Chelinina.

"Sister Chelinina, didn't Orson tell me before that if I have any financial problems, I can come to you."

"Ah, Orson did say that." Hearing that, Chelinina nodded. "What's wrong? Have you spent the three thousand gold coins I gave you last time?"

After hearing what Litt said, Chelinina finally knew why Litt was looking for her.

To put it bluntly, there is not enough money, so I have to ask myself for money.

Thinking of this, Chelinina's opinion of Lit changed again.

Is this what they call the easy transition from frugality to extravagance?

Lit had lived in the countryside before, and Chelinina undoubtedly knew this.

Unexpectedly, within just a few months of entering the Duke's house, money had become worthless in her eyes.

Three thousand gold coins is a huge sum of money even if it is used as living expenses for a nobleman. If you live in the Imperial Academy and don't have any bad habits, you won't be able to spend so much money.

Could it be that this Leeteuk is a born prodigal?

Thinking of this, Chelinina regretted her previous decision to bet on Litt.

Then, she continued to ask with some concern: "Leet, did you go to the casino or the bar? Or, did you go to those romantic places? Otherwise, how could you spend your money so quickly?"

"No!" Li Te shook his head with a red face. "I didn't go to those places. I still have a lot of money that you gave me, sister Chelinina. But I have some urgent matters recently and need a lot of money..."

"Is that so... I understand." Upon hearing this, Chelinina nodded, indicating that she understood. "Then, Li Te, can you tell me what it is and how much money it costs?"

"Hmm..." Li Te was silent for a while after hearing this, and then told Chelinina. "Okay, I'll tell you, sister Chelinina, but you can't tell anyone else."

"Of course, I will definitely keep the secret for you, little Lit." Seeing Lit's quirky look, Chelinina inexplicably felt a surge of maternal love and nodded to agree to Lit.

"To put it simply, I've been targeted by someone recently, and they seem to be trying to murder me."

After hearing what Lit said, Chelinina was surprised.

look.

"But, I heard that the security of the Imperial College is very strong."

"Yes, but I happened to have something to do recently and couldn't stay in the Imperial College, so I'm a little worried..."

"Can't Orson accompany you?"

"Well, Orson has his own things to do, so I plan to pay for a security guard to protect me for a while." Litt said this, stretched out his finger and made the number one sign.

"Ten thousand gold coins?" Chelinina asked doubtfully.

Ten thousand gold coins can indeed hire a very powerful bodyguard in Saint Laurent City.

Her chamber of commerce had a lot of turnover during this period, and all of this was thanks to Orson. Thinking that helping Lit was also helping Orson, Chelinina agreed without even thinking about it.

"No, one hundred thousand."

But what Litt said next made Chelinina stunned.

"One hundred thousand gold coins!?" Chelinina looked at Litt in amazement.

One hundred thousand gold coins, wow, is Litt going to ask an eighth-level master to protect his safety?

One hundred thousand gold coins is not too much, but not too little either.

For a farmer living in the countryside, let alone 100,000 gold coins, even 10 gold coins would be a number he would never dare to imagine in his lifetime.

Although the total value of agricultural products produced by a farmer is definitely more than ten gold coins, after being taxed, the wealth left to him is very little.

For a citizen living in a city, ten gold coins are equivalent to a considerable deposit.

And one hundred thousand gold coins, in a remote city of the empire, could even allow you to buy a small town and live the life of a mayor.

And to say it is little, is actually quite little.

After all, the Silver Moon Chamber of Commerce President Louis and the Ali Chamber of Commerce President Muhammad had made a deal before. In order to obtain this secret of the commercial courier, the Silver Moon Chamber of Commerce spent a full three million gold coins.

As long as a city is not particularly remote and poor, the taxes it collects from the agricultural and commercial industries each year far exceed this figure. The reason why it seems that there is no money as much as businessmen is simply because the city needs to invest a lot of money in maintaining various facilities, institutions and organizations.
