The bomb of Prometheus.

That day, Cale came to the Flynn Merchants Guild headquarters in the capital to meet with Biros Flynn.

Biros is currently the head of the Flynn Merchants Guild. The Flynn Merchants Guild, whose leadership had changed in the incident in the capital about three months ago, was once again seeing a pick-up in business thanks to the consideration of the next king, but the deciding factor was the contract for Cale Henituse' mining business.

Cale entrusted all work related to the mining business to the Flynn Merchants Guild, or more precisely, to Biros Flynn. As the business began to take shape in earnest, the Royal Palace of Rowoon and the Flynn Merchants Guild, which became the main place of inquiries, were extremely busy.

And today, Biros contacted him to say that the documents for this business were ready. Biros' contact was to inquire about a good date and time for him to visit the Henituse mansion. It is unthinkable for a commoner to summon a high-ranking noble. However, this time, Cale was the one who suggested to Biros that they go to the Flynn Merchants Guild headquarters. Of course, his purpose wasn't to check on the mining business, but to make sure there were no Hunters inside the headquarters.

However, Cale thought why he was to this, gripping the handle of his delicate teacup.

Cale was currently being in a corner 's table of the spacious great hall on the first floor of the Flynn Merchant Guild Capital Headquarters, with a seat overlooking the well-maintained gardens from the large windows.

If it was Biros sitting across from him, he wouldn't have picked up a teacup in a place like this. The great hall, which also served as a lobby, was as you would expect from the headquarters of the best merchant guild in the Kingdom of Rowoon, decorated with thick carpets, beautiful statues placed here and there, and large screens dividing the rooms, all of which even Cale found to be magnificent. And as soon as he saw that they had begun to talk, he quickly prepared a seat with a good view and prepared hot tea and sweets with great skill. This was all the more reason for Cale to lose the opportunity to escape from the situation.

How did this happen?

A classic phrase came to mind. Cale tilted his teacup and looked at the person across from him.

She was in a very good mood.

"...It's good to hear that the business is expanding smoothly, Lady Amir."

Amir Ubar nodded happily in response to Cale's reply.

"Yes! It's all thanks to Young Master Cale!"

...How can that be.

Cale had his usual blank expression, but he was getting quite fed up with Amir's constant "It's all thanks to Young Master Cale!" She was telling Cale the outline of the business she was about to start. But Cale had no idea why it was all thanks to him.

It seems that Amir came to the Flynn Merchant Guild Headquarters to discuss the transportation operations of the business. The reason why he brought up such a topic with Cale was because the Ubal family owed money to the Henituse family.

The majority of the funds for the Ubal Naval Base Development Project come from the Henituse family. They are lending out part of the port area for free, but there is no way they can pay off the investment with that amount. Currently, they are only paying back the interest to the Henituse family, but now that the war is over, full-scale repayments will begin, and for the Ubal family, showing that they have the means to repay may be a sign of sincerity to their creditors.

But that doesn't concern me.

Thanks to the mine, Cale's assets are set to become astronomical figures, but the assets of the Henituse family are not at his disposal. Moreover, the Ubal family's debts are nothing to do with him.
