THE NOVEL'S EXTRA

C139. Final Incident (2)


“...Um, what happened?”

Rachel whispered. Without answering her, I looked back at Heuk Jeon and his crew who were following us.

Putting his pride and status into consideration, I said I would let him off even if he didn’t kowtow to me, but he decided to follow me like an attendant anyways.

“Who knows?”

“....”

Rachel put on a suspicious look at my vague reply.

“Well, it’s like I said before. I trade stocks on the side. That’s it.”

“Stocks?”

It really wasn’t easy to come up with a good explanation. After all, I didn’t want to look like someone who was related to Djinns.

“Yes, I gave one of my clients a valuable piece of information. That client just happened to be extremely influential around people like them.”

“Eh? Then is your client also a Djinn...?”

“No. It’s all about money. That’s why they’re here too.”

I wasn’t lying. Boss really was a money-loving fool... well, maybe calling her a fool was too harsh. She was focused on making money because the Chameleon Troupe was relatively free, but once their involvement in the main story kicked in, she would undoubtedly show why she was called the Yasha.

“....”

Rachel didn’t seem to believe me one hundred percent, but she didn’t ask further questions.

“Stocks... stocks...”

She mumbled to herself, then suddenly her eyes shot open.

“Ah, Ha, Hajin-ssi.”

“Yes?”

She called my name while stuttering.

“Then did you make a lot of profit with stocks?”

“Uh... my nickname is the Invisible Hand.”

When I said that, Rachel’s cheeks flushed red with anticipation.

I could easily see what that meant.

At the moment, the English Royal Court guild was in a financial crisis. Because of last year’s incident on Clancy Islet, they were suffering from lack of investors.

“I see... it makes sense since you’re rank 1 in theory. You must be good at analyzing charts and data...”

However, she seemed to be too embarrassed to ask for a favor outright, as she fiddled with her fingers.

“I guess you could say that.”

I acted oblivious.

“Ah... right.”

After hesitating to voice her thoughts, Rachel finally worked up the courage to speak.

“So, um, I heard guilds have recently started investing in stocks to make money...”

“Oh~ is that so?”

Seeing her embarrassed yet full of hope, I felt the urge to tease her. It was all thanks to Boss that I could be so relaxed in this situation.
