what to do?

At this time, is he trying to kill himself to force the business to return his employees, or is he just trying to survive?

The shop owner was very reluctant.

[Writing this, I hope readers will remember our domain name Taiwan Novel Network→𝒕𝒘𝒌𝒂𝒏.𝒄𝒐𝒎]

In order to let the inspector come to interrogate and hold him accountable, he gave the other party a lot of benefits. However, not only did he not get any benefits, he was even caught.

But he had no choice.

If you stop here, you can still save a life, but if you fight to the end, you will only destroy yourself!

The breath of the predator at the top of the biological chain fell on him, freezing his body and freezing his thoughts. The pampered inspector may not feel it, but he, who has been licking blood with the tip of a knife all year round, knows that no one here is easy to mess with, including the arrogant and arrogant young lady!

There was a minute-long silence, and the shop owner felt that a century had passed.

"I, I... Mr. Black Commissioner, I think there may be an error in the witness's testimony."

"Huh? What did you say?"

"Isn't it clearly stated in the laws of the kingdom that if no money is paid, it is not considered a slave trade? Since the money is here, it means there is no such thing! So, therefore, I will not pursue the responsibility! That's it!"

The pale-faced shopkeeper was furious and talked nonsense. Then he stood up like a spring, ran out of the room without looking back, and quickly left the bungalow.

Looking at the fleeing shopkeeper's back, the inspector was dumbfounded.

What on earth is this idiot thinking?

In his opinion, he has been careless. As long as he kills the store he is running seriously, he can ask the other party to return the employees or receive a certain amount of compensation from Lin.

Even if Lin doesn't believe in going through the review, there are hundreds of ways to pretend to be a qualified store. They have experienced this situation hundreds of times.

Once money is given, it can be regarded as a disguised slave trade.

If he can facilitate this matter, he will definitely receive a lot of rewards from the noble faction, or if Lin asks him to keep silent, he will take this opportunity to become the princess, or even become a core figure in one fell swoop. He has this confidence in his position as the Kingdom's inspector.

However, now everything has been screwed up by the shop owner, and his anger is palpable.

"Inspector Black Commissioner, according to the laws of the kingdom, if the victim is no longer held accountable, then the crime will not be established. I think you should know that."

"Of course...hehehe."

The inspector's heart tightened, and cold sweat broke out on his fat face. Thinking of the recklessness of confronting him just now, he thought to himself that he would not be defeated today.

However, what he didn't expect was——

"Then we won't entertain the Black Commissioner Inspector anymore. After all, we still have something to discuss next."

"...I will resign now, villain!"

The inspector, who was fortunate to have survived, had no time to flatter and show his loyalty to the Reborn family. He stood up and turned his head like a round rubber ball. Every part of his body had its own thoughts and squirmed in a hurry to escape.

Ha, clown.

Lin, who dismissed the two of them, was not arrogant. After all, he was just an insignificant person. It would be too shameful to be proud of him.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Lin, that I would trouble you to come here."

Sebastian served Lin, Monica and his eldest lady each a cup of tea.

The old housekeeper was indeed very smart. From the verbal exchange just now, he had already sensed that Lin's purpose in coming here was to help them out.

"You're welcome. When my friends are in trouble, I naturally want to help. Besides, that store does run a disgusting business."

"Hehehe, is that so?"

This answer made Sebastian couldn't help but stroke his beard, indicating that he was very satisfied.

"Is it really okay to just let them go like this?"

"It doesn't matter. My goal is not only to eradicate them, but also to act in a high-profile manner. The reason...of course is to give the dirty aristocrats a head-on blow and severely eliminate their arrogance."

"Can I think that Mr. Lin is completely sure?"

"That's right. It's not a problem to destroy the organization, but if I am the only one, I will inevitably slip through the net. If they go to harm other people..."

"I see."

Lin didn't finish his words, but everyone present understood what he meant.

Monica clenched her fists.

She and her relatives have not suffered such inhuman treatment, but there are many people in the organization whose relatives or themselves have had similar tragic experiences, and her anger is expressed for those people.

"Then let's take our leave now."

"...Do you want to say goodbye now?"

A trace of astonishment appeared on the old butler's calm face. His expression seemed to say, have you forgotten something?

Normally, the atmosphere has been heightened to this point. Shouldn't he be invited to go with him? Why didn't he keep silent about it?

Lin said naturally: "The provocation has been conveyed to the other party. Presumably the guy will tell it to the real boss after he returns. Isn't this the best time to come and find trouble?"

"...I see, that's it."

Sebastian stroked his beard and fell into thought.

Lin stood up and said, "That's it. Mr. Sebastian, after the incident is over, I would like to invite you to the Axis Church. Is that okay?"

"Well...please allow me to ask the eldest lady for instructions when the time comes."

Sebastian’s answer was very official. Lin, as if he understood something, did not speak but smiled back, then stood up and said goodbye.

He walked out of the villa, slightly tilted his head, and squinted at the white house behind him.

——What a strange master and servant.

He had not spoken to the young lady the whole time, and even did not know her name until the end. However, such a rude and inappropriate situation in social occasions was considered normal by Sebastian, Lin, and the young lady.

Lin thought Sebastian would be criticized.

After all, he was a butler, and any rude behavior would bring trouble to the master, just look at Clem and you will understand.

However, Sebastian, who rescued a prostitute of unknown origin, was found by the kingdom inspector and was almost convicted and arrested by the kingdom, was not only not criticized, but even sat there calmly.

The young lady secretly respected the old butler. Even when he invited the old butler to go to the Axis Church in person, the young lady did not express any opinion.

This is very abnormal.

Isn't it said that she would fly into a rage if the taste was a little inferior, fly into a rage if the accommodation was a little uncomfortable, and get angry to the point of madness if she was slighted? Is this still the arrogant and willful young lady mentioned in the report?

Even though Sebastian's request was extremely perfunctory and insincere, the young lady did not get angry on the spot.

The only reasonable explanation that can be given is: they are not master and servant at all, or in other words, they are not as simple as master and servant on the surface, but should it be the other way around?

However...

It doesn't matter. Lin came here not only to help his friend out of trouble. Although the main purpose was to sell Sebastian a favor, he also left a hint at the same time - he wanted to destroy the brothel and hoped that you could come to help, but he didn't say this.

This is also a part of the test.

Just think of it as him being cautious. After all, there have been too many big figures in the kingdom recently. There is only one strong man of the same level even in the empire. He has met several in a row in this month. There is a sense of uneasiness that a storm is coming.

Shake your head and get rid of the uneasiness.

Don't think about it. The most urgent thing is to deal with the eight fingers. If everything is really as he thought, he will surely see the old butler on the battlefield later.

He is looking forward to it.

————

Sebastian looked at Lin and Monica who were leaving, his extremely calm face did not change at all, but there was a clear emotion in his pupils.

That was anger.

Of course, the object of his anger was not Lin, but the inspector and the store owner.

Suo Liuxiang, who had been sitting on the sofa since the beginning of the confrontation, looked at the old butler by the window with a clearly cold gaze.

"What are you going to do, Master Sebas? ... How about handing that human over to them?"

"I don't think that will solve the problem."

"... Really?"

"If I expose my weakness, they will surely take whatever they want until they suck my marrow dry. They are that kind of human. I don't think handing Tsuare over to them will solve the problem, and it will waste Mr. Lin's good intentions."

"So, what are you going to do?"

"I don't know. I'll go outside and think about it."

Sebas pushed open the door and walked out. Suo Liuxiang said nothing in silence, just watching the old butler's back getting smaller and smaller.

Boring.

If the human hadn't been picked up, this series of events wouldn't have happened.

Having said that, it's a good thing to take the opportunity to get in touch with the person that Master Ainz ordered to protect. And it's too late to talk about these now. The important thing is what to do next.

She didn't say a word when Lin and Sebas talked just now, and she saw that the atmosphere between the two was a little abnormal.

Although it seems impossible, what if it happens?

As a subordinate of Sebastian, it was not right to disregard the instructions of her superior and act on her own, but she felt that if she continued to leave it alone, it would lead to worse consequences.

She had never hesitated so much before.

Finally, she made up her mind, raised her left hand and opened her palm. Like an object floating on the water, a scroll came out of her palm.

This was the scroll she had kept in her body. It was a precious item that Demiurge had helped her to use for emergency contact.

Opening the scroll and releasing the magic sealed inside, Soruka felt like she was connected to her opponent by a thread.

"Is it Ainz-sama?"

"Soruka... huh? What's the matter? You took the initiative to contact me. Is it an emergency?"

"Yes."

At this point, she paused.

This pause was caused by her loyalty to Sebastian and the thought that it might be her misunderstanding. However, her loyalty to Ainz was stronger than anything else.

All of their actions should be based on the interests of the Great Tomb of Nazarick... and more importantly, the interests of the forty-one Supreme Beings, but Sebastian's current behavior can be said to have ignored this principle.

Based on this judgment, she slowly said: "Lord Sebastian may betray."

"Huh?"

"And the target is likely to be Lin-Lord Ainz who asked us to protect."

"Eh?... No, how could it be possible... Uh-huh... Don't joke, Suo Liuxiang. I don't allow you to accuse others without evidence... By the way, do you have evidence?"

"Yes. Although it can't be called evidence..."

Soluoxiang told Ainz in detail how Sebastian saved the prostitute of unknown origin and what had just happened, and let the Supreme One judge. This was the most she could do.

Dim room.

It was full of strong smells of blood and rot, mixed with the smell of heather. The dirty black bloodstains painted the floor black layer by layer, and walking on it even felt slippery and disgusting.

However, in this uncomfortable room, a man was wantonly venting his evil desires, laughing wildly and whipping the weak woman lying on the torture instrument.

This was definitely not a playful way, but a real punishment. Even though the woman's breath was weak and she was breathing in more than she was breathing out, the man did not stop whipping her.

The ugly side of human nature was fully displayed.

And just at this moment——

"No, it's bad! Lord Jie Luo!"

The door was pushed open, and bright light rushed in in an instant, illuminating the man's figure.

It was a bald man with a beast tattoo on half of his face. His muscular body was so muscular that the three-dimensional bulge could be clearly seen through his clothes.

"I should have said that you can't disturb me when I'm venting, right?"

The man stared at the outsider who had rashly intruded. His thin pupils as thin as a blade made the intruder pause, and even his breathing stopped.

This man is a monster.

——For some reason, the pale-faced man who was almost killed outside actually felt an inexplicable sense of security after seeing the other party.

After all, the other party is [Six Arms]!

The so-called Six Arms is taken from the brother god of the God of Thieves who has six arms. It is the combination of the people with the strongest combat ability in the Eight Fingers Security Department.

The most outstanding among them is the person in front of him.

If the Kingdom Warrior Captain Gazef or other Ace Steel-class adventurers are the strongest warriors in the surface world, then [Six Arms] is the strongest killer in the underground world.

The other party was hired by his own boss, because the brothel often destroys women and it is easy to get into big trouble. Since the implementation of the bill promoted by Her Royal Highness the Princess, they have been living very uncomfortably, and now it is finally time for them to take action.

Bald man... When Jie Luo saw the panic of the visitor, he knew that something must have happened, so he said coldly:

"Tell me, what happened."

"Lord Jie Luo, there is an intruder!"

"Intruder?"

Hearing this word, Jie Luo was not afraid to laugh back, and a bloodthirsty evil smile appeared on his already terrifying face.

He had been waiting impatiently.

Since he was hired, he has been waiting for people to come, and he can only rely on these women to vent. Now, he just hopes that the person who comes can be a little more powerful.

"Tell me, who is it?"

"Axis cultists."

"…………"

Jie Luo was silent.

The pale-faced man thought that the six-armed leader in front of him would laugh wildly and say something contemptuous, and then go out to fight.

But now...

The dim room made it difficult to see the other party's expression. Was it his illusion? He always felt that Lord Jie Luo had a constipated and tangled expression on his face.

What's going on?
