Shota's Isekai NTR Adventure

Chapter 281 Meeting Nobles (3)



I just calmly sipped on my coffee since I knew that the ones that would truly suffer were these nobles in front of me.

By maintaining this silence, I would be able to slowly pressure them until they finally gave a response.

In the end, it was the balding middle aged man who spoke first by saying, "It is not convenient to say who I represent, but you can be assured in knowing that it is someone of high status. If you're ever troubled, they will certainly be able to provide you with assistance."

The way that he said this with a smile on his face would make one think that he was being amicable, but I could hear the slight threatening tone in his voice.

"My master is someone powerful, you should submit."

That was the hidden message of these words.

But of course, I didn't feel any threat since I had plenty of information.

After all, neither of the princes had kept their hands clean during this time. There were skeletons in the closets of both of these princes, so if they were to be accidentally released…

Of course, unless they came for me, I had no reason to do anything to them.

The muscular man knitted his brows after hearing what the balding middle aged man said. 

Then he cleared his throat and said in a firm voice, "I cannot reveal who I work for either, but I can guarantee that they are a righteous and powerful person. They will help you with anything that you might find yourself troubled with."

This time, there was no underlying message, but the contents were about the same.

Though, there was a much friendlier tone to this content this time.

At the very least, there was no threat if I didn't choose to go with them. That is as long as I didn't go to their enemy's side.

After they said this, both the muscular man and the balding middle aged man looked at each other with narrowed eyes.

With the way that they stared at each other, one could almost see the sparks flying through the air.

But I just calmly took a sip of my coffee before saying, "Then is there a point coming to see me today? I have just arrived in the capital and I have no plans to leave that soon, so there's plenty of other chances to meet again in the future. If you wish to meet me again, please send an invitation."

This wasn't so much as a question, but rather a simple statement that was meant to send them on their way.

Both the muscular man and the balding middle aged man knitted their brows again, but in the end, their expressions relaxed and they began excusing themselves.

But before leaving the balding middle aged man took something out of his chest pocket and placed it on the table. As he stood to leave, he looked at me with a smile and said, "This is a small gift for Baron Zwein to celebrate our first meeting."

Though his body was positioned to leave, he didn't move as he watched me.

Before I could do anything though, the muscular man also took something out of his chest pocket and placed it on the table. In a calm voice, he simply said, "A present."I think you should take a look at

He too turned to leave, but it was clear that he was also waiting for my reaction to this.

I just calmly took another sip of my coffee before reaching out to take both of these gifts. After bringing them over, I said with a smile, "Please thank the ones behind you for these gifts."

Both the balding middle aged man and the muscular man gave a nod in response to this.

With one last glare at each other, they turned and headed off in separate directions.

When the other nobles around us saw this, they thought that it was their chance. There were a few of them that started standing up, as if they were about to come over to our table.

But before they could do that, I also stood up and started heading out of the restaurant.

Seeing this, all of the nobles could only watch me leave with bitter smiles on their faces..

After all, I had already sent off those two that had a higher status than them…so how likely would it be that I would talk to them?

At the very least, they had gotten some information that they could report back with, so they wouldn't waste any time in reporting back to their masters.

It seemed that the capital was about to become much busier.

When we sat down in the carriage, Scar suddenly asked, "Was it alright to take their gifts?"

He didn't ask about any other part of that since he had been quite impressed by how I had handled those two.

He knew the identities of those two, so he knew that they weren't easy to handle.

The balding middle aged man was Count Westwood, one of the ministers in the department of revenue. Since he was trusted with the revenue of the kingdom, it could be seen that he had an important role in the kingdom.

The muscular man was Earl Reiner, the head knight of the Flame Knights, one of the four knight orders of the kingdom.

Both of them were powerful people in this kingdom, so they definitely weren't easy to deal with.

When I heard this, I just gave a simple nod and said, "Since they are gifts, there is no reason not to accept them. Not to mention, I accepted them both for a reason. It should send a proper message to the others watching."

Scar was confused at first, but when he thought about it, he understood what I meant and he looked at me with an impressed look.

But I didn't mind this as I simply asked, "Where are we going right now? Or rather, who are we about to meet?"
