Chapter 256 – 256. Duke’s Twelfth Sabotage (8)

– One –

“Greetings, Freedom League leaders. I’m Daniel Tennessee.”

“Nice to meet you, Jack Tennessee.”

Brother Tennessee bows lightly and greets.

The three people sitting across from each other, Mondavi, Robert, and Smirnoff, bow their heads.

“This is Mondavi. It’s an honor to meet you.”

“This is Robert.”

“Smirnoff.”

A subtle awkwardness and waryness toward each other came out between them.

Judging from that, it seemed that they did not arbitrarily create a meeting place.

“Hmm, it seems a little rude at first meeting, but why did you ask to meet with us?”

“Kuhmm… We only have the title of head of a media company that has already closed, so I understand that it’s not trustworthy. But,”

“No, no. It’s the opposite. Rather, meeting with the representative of a small organization that has just launched like us, and an organization that has yet to have a proper foundation, what advantages are there to those who were the heads of a media company that represented an era like you? I can’t understand it at all.”

“Um…”

Jack groans.

In fact, he did not actively step forward to make this meeting happen.

Because of the message from Monohorn, their benefactor and spiritual supporter, they decided to meet with the Freedom League leadership.

He was racking his brains over how to convey that fact to them.

“I hope you don’t listen strangely.”

As Jack’s silence lengthened, Daniel took his place.

“We, the representatives of the old press, have one sage as our spiritual guide.”

“Sage… So, are you referring to a wise person who has an excellent eye for penetrating the times?”

“Yes. Although he is much younger than we are, his eyesight has allowed him to live on behind the scenes in the media of his time. Of course, both of us owe him a lot.”

“Ah… You seem to be a great person.”

“That’s right.”

Jack nods his head wide and spreads his chest.

He wasn’t even being praised, but he seemed to be in a good mood just by asking for positive reviews of Mono Horn.

“He and his companions possess extraordinary powers that are inexhaustible.”

“Spiritual ability… Perhaps, Eros Para,”

“Huh…!”

“That, how can I do that…!”

The Tennessee brothers are astonished.

Smirnoff and Robert look back at Mondavi, frowning.

They rebuke Mondavi for his carelessness with stern eyes.

“Hmm…Was this a secret…?”

Mondavi rolls her eyes and plays with her hands.

She was very smart.

However, because she still lacked her experience of the world, she occasionally frightened those around her by performing her imprudent actions out of the blue.

However,

“Yes, yes, but are you also a participant in that, eh, Eros Paradise?”

“That’s not it. It’s just…”

Woo-wook.
Gloop, Gloop.

She creates a drop of water the size of her fist in her air.

Brother Tennessee opens his eyes wide, looking back and forth between it and Mondavi’s face.

“It’s a sub-species that can do this.”

“Huh…”

“I almost got killed by Regal’s privates because of this, and that’s when I learned about Eros Paradise.”

“Is that so…”

She explained her situation succinctly, but her Tennessee brethren could have foreseen just how rough she must have been.

And how much resentment she would harbor against Regal, she could very well predict.

They could be sure that Monohorn’s message from Margarita was not wrong.

Their eyes soften.

“I think you and we can feel a sense of kinship just by being harassed by a dog-like regal.”

“Your brother is right. If you suffered a bad situation because of a guy who was not as good as that dog, you would never have a good feeling for him.

“Whoops. I totally agree with what you two said.”

Her remarks were frank and a little careless, but fortunately her honesty served as an opportunity to break down the psychological barrier between them.

Only then could the two men of the Freedom League secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

“Anyway, did the sage even invite you to meet with us?”

“That’s right. Aside from opposing Regal, in terms of fighting for the liberation of the people, our goals are not very different from those of the Freedom League, so he advised us that we would definitely be able to form a good alliance.”

“Okay…”

Mondavi strokes her lips and nods her head.

“We haven’t officially launched yet and we haven’t even announced the launch of the organization, but seeing as we’ve penetrated even our beliefs and principles, it seems that some of the sage’s party have the ability to gather information across the entire continent.”

“That’s what we expect. However, we haven’t directly inquired about their identities, so we can’t be sure.”

“I see. You guys seem to really trust and rely on them.”

“That’s right.”

They let go of their guard to a large extent and began to have many conversations in earnest.

The Freedom League is a fledgling organization that has never announced its identity.

No matter how much advice Monohorn had, it was impossible to form an alliance without knowing their ideology.

Since they had almost been stabbed in the back for negotiating with the imperial faction the other day, the Tennessee brothers had no choice but to actively engage in dialogue to find out their thoughts and intentions.

“…It’s a run situation.”

“I see. Then, in the South, we will help, and we will also receive help,”

It was then.

“My baby! Frank! Let go! Let go! Let go!”

A tearing scream was heard from outside the house they were using as a meeting place.

Startle.

The Tennessee brothers look at each other trembling.

‘F-Frank?’

‘Is this… ?’

The Tennessee brothers communicate through the shape of their mouths.

‘This voice sounds like Sinatra?’

‘Stop, no way?!’

They raise their eyes wide.

Slap!

They turn their heads and stare at Mondavi.

“You, no, you. You’d better be honest.”

Jack’s eyes burn with anger.

The voices heard from outside the house were gradually fading away as time passed.

However, it did not subside naturally, nor did it subside even after the cause of the problem was resolved.

“Ugh, ugh…! Ugh, ugh, ugh!”

Judging from the sound heard, it was clear that this was happening because someone was suppressing the owner of the voice.

“Why on earth do you keep Sinatra in captivity? And why have you brought her to us? She finds out that she is our colleague, and then uses her as her hostage for the purpose of blackmailing us.” What did you take as Oh?”

Swoop.

Daniel’s right hand slips into his bosom.

He squeezed a spherical object hidden in his arms in his hand.

He pulls it out

“You’d better answer honestly. If you have to, I’ll use this bomb magic tool. Oh, of course, even if you kill me with your ability, the bomb will explode. , So you can test it out if you want.”

Swoop.
Swoop, swoosh.

Three people from the League of Freedom raise their hands to shoulder height.

As if they had no intention of fighting, they emphasized through their gestures that they were completely defenseless.

“That one-“

“Mondavi. I’ll tell you.”

Smirnoff interjects.

Her candor had helped lift the Tennessee brothers’ guards, but now it might have made things worse.

So now, Smirnoff felt that it was a better choice for him to step forward.

“Don’t get me wrong, listen.”

“Hearing her and you, I will judge her after her and her against her.”

“Of course we shouldn’t? We don’t want to make another enemy by buying you misunderstandings.”

“Okay. Please explain.”

Gulp.

Robert swallowed dry saliva and broke out in a cold sweat.

He intended to leave the conference room with Mondavi in ​​his arms if necessary.

“Three days ago, while we were on our way to the meeting place here, we found a couple being gang-raped by gangsters while locked in a shady building.”

“As much as I can create water and move freely, I can sense the presence of any moisture within a certain range. Because of that, I can notice anything that people are doing, even things that are happening beyond the walls. This is possible because the body is made up of about 70% water.”

Mondavi elaborates on Smirnoff’s words.

Brother Tennessee nodded at them, as if to continue explaining.

“Concerned that the gangsters would escape or the confrontation with hostages would be prolonged, Mondavi covered the entire building with water. Then, upon closer examination, he found out that the gangsters were the Regal’s hounds. Could.”

“That, like that…”

Daniel groans.

Jack’s eyes light up.

“In order to get the hostages to safety, while Mondavi was preparing to subdue them at once, suddenly the Healing Priest among Regal’s hounds went mad.”

“What do you mean?”

“It was very terrible… Umm…”

As if Smirnoff was disgusted by the thought, he frowned and couldn’t speak easily.

“I opened the woman’s womb, pulled out a fetus smaller than the palm of her hand, and tried to chew it alive.”

As the silence lengthens, Robert explains it for him.

“What, what?!”

The brothers vomit in astonishment at the same time.

The brothers tremble and take turns looking at the faces of the three.

Looking at the faces of the three stiff-necked men, the brothers were able to intuit that their testimony was true.

“Since the situation became urgent, we had no choice but to give up suppressing them at the same time. So we started to subdue the hounds at will. In the meantime, we made a big mistake due to our inexperience and provoked the hounds, and they took the hostages to silence them. I tried to kill her. I couldn’t stop it, so in the end I couldn’t save her husband. The fetus…”

“In the first place, the fetus extracted from the womb was in a difficult situation even to survive, but the fetus died in the midst of urgent control. It would have been impossible to re-settle. We really did our best.”

Brother Tennessee nodded his head sadly.

Their words seemed believable enough.

“Fortunately, I can use advanced healing spells.”

“Is that really true?”

“What do I gain by telling you lies?”

Brother Tennessee nods in agreement.

“Anyway, that saved her from a near loss of her life, and allowed her to instantly heal her wounds. None.”

“Well, that woman is in a very unstable state psychologically right now.”

Mondavi finally opens her mouth and intervenes in their conversation.

As the Tennessee brothers understood the situation and tempered their feelings, Robert and Smirnoff did not hold her back.

“I kept sobbing and passed out, and if left alone, I hurt myself or tried to commit suicide. The meeting is important, but it was difficult to leave it alone or assign a small number of people to send it to another place. There was.”

“…You didn’t know at all about her identity and relationship with us?”

“Yes. Did you just hear the name for the first time? All I knew was that her husband was Frank. Sometimes he harmed himself, kept calling her husband’s name and child, and passed out. He didn’t eat anything. I didn’t even answer properly.”

Slap!

Daniel urgently turns his head to look outside.

She then turns her head to look at Mondavi.

“Well, then, has Sinatra been completely ignoring her food and drink since then?”

“Ah, um… I created the water myself in his stomach, so there was no problem with hydration. But…”

“So you haven’t had anything but water?”

“That’s right. To be honest, I’m worried he’ll starve to death…”

Jump!
Thud.

Jack got up from his seat.

Daniel also quietly followed his brother to his feet.

“I’ll have to see Sinatra.”

“I’m sorry about her, but can we continue her talk after meeting her and talking about her?”

The brothers seek pardon from the figures of the Freedom League.

“Of course you shouldn’t? To say that you’re her acquaintances, our relationship goes beyond coincidence and feels like destiny.”

“Smirnoff is right. No matter how important the meeting is, people’s lives come first. Please go and comfort him and help him make up his mind. It’s not too late for the meeting after that.”

Brother Tennessee bows deeply towards them.

“Thank you for saving my comrade.”

“I will definitely repay this favor.”

“Won, say nothing.”

“It’s not like this, hurry to the carriage.”

She turns her head towards Robert.

“Brother Robert? Can you guide the two of you?”

“Yea, I got it.”

Robert gets up from his seat.

He leads the Tennessee brothers out of the house.

Jerk, jerk, jerk.
It’s a joke, a rattle.

When I hear the door closing,

“Whoah…”

Dump.

Mondavi bangs her head on the table.

She was shaking all over her body and was breaking out in a cold sweat.

“Smirnoff… Uh, I was scolded for being scared…”

“I’m fine now.”

Tok, tok, tok.

Smirnoff pats her on the back.

“Ah, ah… Don’t do it, really.”

“Hmm?”

“I was so shocked when I saw that they took out the bomb magic tool that I almost peed…

“Keu, keuheum! There’s nothing a grown woman can’t say!”

Smirnoff turns his head away, blushing.

“If you’re in such a hurry, go to the bathroom immediately.”

“Ugh, ugh… I can’t stand up because my legs are weak… Smirnoff, please carry me…”

Smirnoff shakes his head.

He seemed reluctant to have physical contact with Mondavi.

“Uh-hum, keuh-heum! Then you pee on my back and blame me for saying it was because I was shaken?”

“Ugh… I hate Smirnoff…”

She turns her head and glares at Smirnoff.

Squeak, squeak.

She activates this ability of hers.

Iron puck.

“Oh, how many?!”

Smirnoff freaks out and jumps up from his seat.

“Hey, hey! What the hell are you doing!”

He shouts, standing hesitantly, looking down at his pants.

The middle of his pants, between the crotch, was stained a darker color than the surrounding area.

It was because she created water on top of his pants.

“Nyah.”

“I-iik!”

“Smirnoff said he was going to pee~♬ he was over 40~♬ he peed in his pants~♬ he was peeing~♬”

Hearing Mondavi’s childish taunts, he was completely bewildered.

Iron pudduck.

He sat down in his seat without thinking to dry his pants,

“Heh, heh heh…”

I couldn’t help but laugh.

Just then,

“Jack! Daniel! Uhhhhh!”

From the yard came the sound of Sinatra bursting into tears.

The two cast a pitiful gaze toward the outside.

Seeing the horrific scene with their own eyes, they were speechless.

Even to say that she was fortunate in her misfortune, for it was clear to her that it would be an insult to her.
