Chapter 48
After Cora left.
Os was lying alone on the bed, thinking about the conversation between Cora and himself.
Of course, it is impossible to say that Os was not moved at all.
After all, it was 10 million Mora, and it was not so easy to pay it off.
If he really pushed Cora to pay alone, Os would be free of trouble.
But no matter how hard he tried, Os could not push all the 10 million Mora debts to Cora.
Although running away is also a way, if he really refused to pay the 10 million Mora owed to the "Treasure Stealing Group".
Os did not think that Mako, who was very at odds with him, would let him go.
In addition, Os himself often committed adultery.
Even the "Treasure Stealing Group" did not need to take action, they only needed to report it to the Knights of Favonius.
And because of Os's battle with the Abyss Mage in this town, everyone in the town had remembered him.
If Ous really wanted to get rid of the "treasure thieves" completely, he would probably have to flee to other countries.
However, because the "treasure thieves" in various countries are connected.
Therefore, even if he really fled to another country, it would not be considered safe.
After all, the "treasure thieves" organization exists in almost every country.
"... Can you only pay back the money honestly?"
Escape is unlikely, not to mention that Ous and his group do not have the financial resources to flee to other countries.
And Ous could not really leave Mond with Cora and Hawke.
The other two were different from Ous who had no worries.
While Ous was thinking about how to get 10 million Mora, someone knocked on the door of the ward.
"Hawk? Come in."
After all, according to Hawke, it was Hawke's turn to take care of Ous.
But when the door was opened, the person who appeared in Ous's sight was not Hawke, but Ma Ke.
But unlike usual, Ma Ke was not followed by bodyguards.
Os could only think that Ma Ke thought that facing himself now, he didn't need a bodyguard at all.
Now that Os has completely turned into a mummy, he can't even move, and he can't do anything to threaten Ma Ke's safety.
"Tsk, what are you doing here?"
However, even in an immobile state, Os still didn't look at Ma Ke in a good face.
After all, the person in front of Os is the culprit who made Os in debt of 10 million Mora.
How could Os give a good face.
"Obviously, he has become a mummy, but he is still so arrogant."
Ma Ke said as he approached Os's bed.
As Ma Ke approached, Os was naturally a little panicked.
Now no matter what Ma Ke did to Os, Os had no ability to resist.
"So? Are you going to take revenge on me for being unable to move?"
Although he was very guilty, Os's tone did not show any intention of showing weakness.
Deep down, he prayed that Hawke would come soon.
"Well, seeing that you still have the energy to talk, it should be okay. After the boss learned about you and got the Eye of God, he valued you more than before."
"Oh? Then can you forgive the debt of 10 million Mora?"
"You wish. One thing is one thing."
Ma Ke ruthlessly denied Os's words.
He did not give Os any chance at all.
"Tsk... I obviously didn't destroy the house at all! Why should I pay for it!"
"What if you can catch the monster that destroyed the house and let it pay for you?"
"... I killed it."
"That's it, the culprit is dead. The organization can't suffer. Then I can only take the money from you. When I handed the house to you, I reminded you not to damage the house."
"..."
"Besides, I think I have done my best."
"Huh?"
Os cast an incredible look at Ma Ke for what she said.
Os didn't feel that Ma Ke could help in any way.
"What for? If it weren't for me, you would have to pay 15 million Mora. And there is no time limit. Don't you think I have been very good to you? Considering the relationship between us."
"..."
Ma Ke's words made Os completely unable to refute.
After all, if Os and Ma Ke switched sides, Os would definitely kill Ma Ke.
However, Os knew why Ma Ke wanted to help him.
Although the relationship between Ma Ke and Os was very bad.
But helping Os, thisThere are two teams with God's Eye holders.
It will also help Ma Ke's future position in the "Treasure Stealing Group".
"By the way, I heard that you know a lot about the monsters that attacked you. Do you know what the purpose of those monsters is?"
Ma Ke asked when Os was still thinking about other things.
This question also made Os stop thinking.
"What's wrong? Why do you suddenly care about this kind of thing?"
Os was also confused about why Ma Ke suddenly asked this question.
The "Treasure Stealing Group" is usually not interested in monsters.
There must be other reasons for suddenly mentioning it now.
"Nothing, the headquarters was also attacked by those monsters. Several people died."
"What!"
After listening to Ma Ke's words, Os also showed an incredible expression.
"In a sense, we have to thank the girl who came to investigate. If it weren't for her, most of us would have withdrawn from the headquarters. That attack would not be as simple as a few people, and even the boss might be in danger. The boss heard that you had fought those monsters several times, so he asked me to come to you."
"I see, what's the benefit?"
"! What do you mean, this is the boss's order."
"Hey, Ma Ke. Don't you know that one of the most valuable things in the world is intelligence? If you want to ask for intelligence, you naturally have to give me some benefits. What's more, I am now inexplicably burdened with a debt of 10 million Mora. Because the blow is really too great, it has caused some problems with my memory. For the monster you mentioned, I don't know why, I can't remember it clearly."
After Os finished speaking, he looked at Ma Ke with a meaningful look.
"You... okay, if you tell me, I can reduce my debt by 100,000 Mora, okay?"
"Huh? 100,000 Mora, you're treating beggars like that!"
"You're still asking for more, aren't you?"
"2 million."
Os had no intention of responding to Mako's rebuttal, and just said this sentence to himself.
