Reborn Soul Master: The Rogue's Counterattack

"Sure enough, the nobles behind this are the Repera family." Cardin walked out of the casino, recalled the account books and documents he had just taken from the warehouse, and nodded.

The name of the Repera family could be confirmed in the account books and some documents. "And there are more than one or two nobles involved in illegal casinos." The names of nobles who traded or invested in illegal casinos were also written in the account books.

"It's the same with this world. It's recorded in great detail, starting with the date." Ledgers and documents are weapons and insurance for illegal organizations.

It is a weapon prepared to prevent bullying by traders and investors, and an insurance to protect the organization from them. Therefore, the ledger is always written in more detail and more finely than other documents.

"Thanks to this, things will be easier to solve." If the account book was written roughly, Cardin's plan might be a little off. But as Cardin expected, the account book left enough information to play its role as evidence.

"Hey, that guy over there." Cardin was immersed in his thoughts and moving his feet when a rude voice came from the front. Looking up, he saw several men with fierce looks blocking his way with their huge bodies.

"Hand over the things you took from the casino and get out of here." The bald man standing in the front ordered Cardin while snapping his fingers.

"Is it Klopp? The casino manager who sent you?"

"what?"

"I didn't expect you to be so late. I thought you would have sent someone sooner." Cardan's words seemed to confuse the bald man for a moment. Swish! But soon, he arrogantly drew the sword at his waist.

"You don't need to know this. Just hand over what you got and get out of here. Otherwise I'll kill you and throw you to the wolves as food." As soon as he finished speaking, the men standing behind the bald man drew their weapons in unison. At a glance, there were at least 20 of them.

"These guys are a little different." Cardin looked at the bald man and his men in surprise. If the members of the organization he met in the casino were low-level mercenaries, then the people in front of him were at least mid-level mercenaries.

"Be careful, nothing bad should happen." Although Cardan thought about fighting them with his bare hands, since they were mid-level mercenaries, Cardan could not take it lightly.

Cardan slowly drew the dagger from his waist and got ready. "Well, it doesn't look like necromancy will be used anyway." Of course, he would not take it lightly, but he did not find it difficult to deal with them.

"It looks like you don't intend to hand it over obediently. There's nothing we can do about it." After Cardan drew his dagger, the bald man said to his subordinates.

"Kids, he wants us to kill him." As soon as he finished speaking, his men began to rush towards Cardan.

A moment later. "Cough cough cough." The bald man and his men groaned in pain and fell to the ground.

"It's easier than I thought." On the contrary, Cardin looked down at the bald man without any harm. Although he thought they were mid-level mercenaries and was a little nervous, there was no need to be nervous.

A short sword alone was enough to subdue them. He was originally trained at the Hero Academy with the best talents in the kingdom.

Although the bald man and his men had the strength of mid-level mercenaries, they were no threat to Cardan.

Poof. Cardin approached the bald man and gently kicked the leg he was holding.

"Since you haven't been beaten so badly, why don't you get up?"

"Sir, please spare my life." Hearing Cardin's words, the bald man quickly stood up, suddenly knelt down and began to beg.

"Why are the ways of begging for mercy all the same?" Cardin smacked his lips, nodded, and continued.

"I'll spare you, go tell that Klopp guy."

In a tavern in the city of Repela.

"Really? That bastard took all the account books and documents from the casino!" Klopp said angrily to the person sitting in front of him.

"Could it be that the Knights have appeared?"

"Haven't the nobles nearby been bribed by the Repera family? The Knights won't come looking for us, right?"

"Maybe mercenaries? If they were the Knights, they wouldn't wear masks." The man sitting in front of Klopp was the leader of a famous criminal organization in the city of Repera.

"I'm finished. It's just a matter of time for you! That kid will come to me soon!" Klopp said, patting his chest depressedly.

"So what? Pack your bags and run away right now?"

"Didn't you just send Baldy over? He'll get it back, whether it's the account book or something else. He'll do anything as long as you pay him."

"If you're really that worried, just leave all your business to us and run away." The leaders did not seem to take Klopp's warning seriously.

“We should join forces! Honestly, I think the bald guy will also lose to that noble bastard!” Even if he raised his voice, the situation did not change.

To those who wield influence in a lawless city, this may not seem too threatening.

"Klopp, you worry too much."

"Yeah. Whatever happens, the Repera family will take care of it."

"Yeah~ If you want to run a business, you should hire illegal mercenaries like us? How safe is that?" This is understandable. The members of the organization hired by Klopp are just tall and fierce-looking, not people with outstanding combat capabilities.

"If we weren't allies, I would target your business first."

"The core of an illegal organization is power after all."

"Well, if what you said is true, then all your businesses should be closed down." The leaders instead wanted to use this opportunity to take over Klopp's business.

At that moment, the door of the tavern was flung open with a bang, and something huge was thrown into the middle of the tavern.

"Wow, what a shock!"

"what is this?"

"Bald?" The leaders were shocked when they saw the man thrown into the middle of the tavern. The most surprised person was Klopp.

“Is it possible? Could it be…” The bald man lying on the ground was the illegal mercenary who was commissioned by Klopp to deal with Cardin.

"Didn't you say that if you spared my life, you would always remember this kindness, Administrator?" A familiar yet unfamiliar and unwanted voice came from the open entrance.

"But thank you because you did what I wanted." Then Cardin walked into the tavern and looked at Klopp and the leaders.

"Are the people gathered here the ones who run every business in this city?" This was the reason why Cardin let Klopp go from the beginning.

City's illegal organizations were in league, so Klopp would definitely have to ask them for help. Then Klopp acted as Cardin had thought.

"Klopp, is this the guy you are talking about?"

"You're really brave. You dare to barge in like this knowing where this place is?"

"I am a little surprised that he defeated the bald guy. But he is a famous mercenary in this city."

Somehow, the three leaders except Klopp looked calm. Despite defeating the bald mercenary and destroying Klopp's business, they did not seem to feel threatened.

"Did he come here by himself?"

"Klopp, take a rest in the back. I will get your account books and documents back."

"In exchange, pay it back with money." As soon as the three leaders finished speaking, people hiding in various places in the tavern began to show their figures one by one. And starting from the stairs on the second floor, armed men quickly came down.

"And we are different from Klopp. We are all mercenaries, aren't we?"

"Moreover, most of our organization's members are mercenaries."

"Even if you use the human wave tactic, you will be exhausted in the end, right?" Swish! The three leaders drew their weapons at the same time and began to inject magic power into their weapons.
