Reborn Soul Master: The Rogue's Counterattack

Klopp looked at Cardin with suspicion, and Cardin shrugged and pointed to the bag of gold coins on the table.

"As long as you have money, there will be no problem."

"Okay. Let's talk seriously, shall we?" The man who called himself Klopp sat opposite Cardin and continued.

"Although we operate a venue in a lawless city, we operate it fairly systematically." "Is security guaranteed?"

In his previous life, Cardin had already mastered the knowledge related to illegal organizations. He knew how to ask and answer questions as an investor.

"Of course. There is no place other than a casino where you can make money without worry." "Are there any other benefits besides making money?"

Cardin asked what the benefits of becoming an investor would be, and Klopp replied with a smug snap of his fingers.

“We provide investors with special medicines and help them attend VIP-only slave auctions.”

No wonder the city is lawless. They talk about drugs and slave auctions without a care in the world.

"Some nobles also invested in our place and made a lot of money." Even among those nobles who claim to have noble blood, there are corrupt people.

"Compared to this, you run a place in this city by yourself?"

"Hmm? Why are you asking?"

"I've heard that organizations often quarrel over venues or turf. I don't want to lose my investment over something trivial."

"Ah~ Don't worry. All the organizations in this city are in alliance." Hearing Klopp's explanation, Cardin's brows gradually frowned.

The city of Repera is completely corrupt. If they unite, it will be difficult to deal with them.

"If corruption has reached this level, even if a few organizations are eliminated, it won't solve the problem, right?" Even if a few organizations are eliminated, the city will not become clean.

Because the city is full of illegal activities, it is certain that similar organizations will appear again, and as time goes by, it will continue to exist in the name of the lawless city.

"Most importantly, isn't there the Repera family behind these organizations?" The city owner who is supposed to manage law and order, instead supports illegal organizations and operates places. While Cardin was thinking, Klopp smiled and looked at the bag of gold coins on the table.

"At that level, it would be around 100 gold coins? He said he wants to invest 10 times as much, and this time he can also expand the venue."

Is this how things went smoothly? Just as he was planning to expand the venue, someone offered to invest a large sum of money.

"I heard he is not someone who is easily fooled, so I have to treat him very sincerely." Klopp took a rolled-up parchment from his pocket and placed it on the table.

"This is the investment contract. If you want to invest, please read and sign it." Swish. Klopp pushed the contract to the front, and Cardin opened the parchment and read it slowly.

"Yes. After all investors sign, they will be kept separately, right?"

"Of course. With documents we can prove it. Although it looks like evidence has been left behind and makes you feel uncomfortable, don't worry." Klopp said with a smile.

"Documents relating to the investment are kept safely under strict security." Cardin seemed to finish reading the document and placed it back on the table.

"Well, can you take me there?"

"What? Ahaha! You've got to be kidding me."

"I'm not kidding." Whoosh. Suddenly, Cardin had a bone dagger in his hand.

"Are you trying to threaten me now?" Seeing the dagger, Klopp smiled, as if he thought it was ridiculous. He managed a fairly large place in the city of Repera, but he was threatened.

"Tsk. I heard that the new investor was very arrogant, but I didn't expect him to be an ignorant kid." Klopp leaned back in his chair and raised one hand calmly.

Then, the fierce men waiting at the door each drew their weapons from their waists and walked towards Cardin.

"We don't take the nobles seriously. Do you think we have killed one or two nobles?" In a blink of an eye, about 10 men surrounded Cardin.

Although the situation was threatening enough, Cardin did not waver at all. He just shrugged and looked around slowly.

“It doesn’t look like there’s anything remarkable about this guy.” Hearing that some famous mercenaries had also joined illegal organizations, he was a little nervous, but fortunately, he didn’t see any strong men among the people who surrounded Cardin.

"Kids, deal with it cleanly and neatly." Klopp put his legs on the table and ordered arrogantly.

"Yes!" 10 men answered at the same time and rushed towards Cardin.

"Sir, please spare my life! I was wrong!" Klopp knelt on the ground and begged for forgiveness from Cardin. Around him lay the ten members of the organization who had just rushed towards Cardin.

"Crazy! How is this possible?" Klopp was confused. He knocked down ten armed members of the organization with his bare hands.

He didn't expect that these men, who had at least received some training, would fall without even swinging their weapons.

"Is he a knight from the Knights Templar? Or a mercenary who came here on a commission?" Whatever it was, no one in this room could defeat Cardin.

"I recognized the wrong person!" Unless someone is a mid-level mercenary, no one can stop Cardin. Klopp judged this and begged even louder.

"If you spare my life, I will never forget this favor!"

"Forget the favor. Take me to where the contract documents and account books are." Cardin looked down at Klopp and said in a cold voice.

"That, that..."

"If you don't leave the account book, you will die. If you hand it over, you will die too. Is that what you mean?"

"Yes, yes! Please at least hand over the account books! I'm willing to pay you any amount of money!" If Klopp were to hand over the account books and contract documents, the Repera family, who had been monitoring him, would definitely not let him go, even if others didn't know.

"Wouldn't it be better to just hand over the account books and contract documents to me and run away?" Swish. Cardin drew out his dagger, put it against Klopp's throat and continued.

"If you don't give it to me, you will die now." The moment the sharp blade touched his neck, he felt a sharp pain. Klopp, trembling in the fear of death, closed his eyes and said.

"Then kill me!" Klopp chose death because he was afraid of revenge from the Repera family.

"understood."

"Wait! Please wait!" But Cardin's cold response instantly changed his mind. It was not just a threat, but he really felt that he might die, so he had to change his words.

"There is an iron door on the third floor. All documents and account books related to the business are kept there."

"Where's the key?"

"Huh?" "Aren't you the person in charge?" Cardin spread out his palms and Klopp lowered his head, looking embarrassed.

"Can I ask a question?"

"Just ask."

"Why are you looking for account books and documents..." There are usually two types of people who collect account books and documents. One is the person who wants to hand the organization over to the guards for punishment, or the person who wants to eliminate the casino debt or revenge.

“Do I have to tell you even this?” Cardin smiled briefly and held out his hand again, and Klopp seemed to have no choice but to take the key from his neck and hand it to Cardin.

"So, will I survive then?"

"Yes. You can go now."

"Thank you! Thank you very much!" Cardin waved his hand, seemingly without any reluctance, and Klopp quickly opened the door and ran away.
