“hmm······”
In the spacious hall, a man sitting on the platform was deep in thought.
This is Westminster Hall.
It was a symbolic place in the palace, but it wasn’t exactly the same place.
Because it was a secret space exclusively for investment companies, provided under the pretext of carrying out the Chamber of Commerce’s investigative mission.
The head of the investment firm, Toton, asked the agent standing in front of him.
“Still no news?”
“···Yes, that’s right.”
This is because Permegon and the European headquarters of the Chamber of Commerce have been so greedy in their search for Europe.
Totten Investments had been doing business around Northern Europe and the Mediterranean, avoiding them, but had recently suddenly lost contact with their agent Evans, who had been in Italy.
“What the hell is that kid Evans doing?”
At Olympus’ request, Toton was tasked with finding Awoken Greeks who would be worthy of joining the Alliance.
Since Olympus was serious about sowing seeds, they took care of the sales themselves, but Toton was also expecting the growth of the Greek Awakened.
But after the report that Olympus and Pax FC had faced off, there was no further news from Evans.
“shit···”
Totten was in love.
Because the growth of other eastern Mediterranean powers was very sluggish.
Even if we only consider the investment resources that Evans had brought with him, it would not be possible to avoid a serious deficit if things continued this way.
Totten clenched his fists and muttered softly.
“······If only I had Pax FC in my hands.”
“Wasn’t it inevitable? … They were already in conflict with Barnaul.”
One of the agents consoled Toton, and Toton chimed in, as if he had similar thoughts.
“What I’m saying is, shouldn’t you be careful when attacking your opponent···?”
By the time Pax FC started clashing with Permegon in Europe, it was Tottenham who were already preparing for contact with them.
At that time, Pax FC already boasted overwhelming power with hundreds of members.
But when Barnaul got involved in the middle, the situation changed 180 degrees.
“Sir, let’s pretend it never happened. Even if there had been no conflict with Barnaul… look at the way they’re acting. It must not have been easy to deal with.”
This time the agent tried to comfort him, but Toton shook his head.
“No, that’s wrong. How dare you do that after receiving investment money and eating it all up.”
Clearly Pax FC is strong.
However, once an investment is made, it is the fate of dimensional beings to become dependent on the investment company.
“They are just country bumpkins who don’t know how the market works. They are just focused on surviving. That’s why… now is the best time to invest.”
Whether it is investment capital or investment resources, it is not something that is good if you repay it and that is the end of it if you cannot repay it.
Now, you may be in a rush and hastily join hands with investors, but later on, you will have to check those vicious contract terms again.
If they did not want to suffer the misfortune of having their investment ‘recovered’ midway with a strong penalty, they had no choice but to be reborn as another invader according to the tastes of the chamber of commerce and investment companies.
“Well, it’s a shame, but… I think it’s best to avoid getting involved with Pax FC as much as possible. No matter how much money you have, you can’t just turn your back on Barnaul…”
“That is correct.”
Totten slowly got up.
He kicked the gray statue he had been sitting on, and its head fell off with a crunching sound.
It was a statue of a 17th century British great man that was located in the palace garden.
“We don’t need heroes. We just need slaves to make money.”
An uncomfortable feeling and anxiety were taking hold of him.
I was barely able to pull myself together and was about to hear the report from the rest of the agents…
“Sir! This is an intrusion!”
An agent brought urgent news.
Toton’s hair turned white.
Who on earth could have entered this back space that only agents can enter?
Its identity is···
“What? How···? Who?”
“That’s… Pax FC…!”
It was a familiar, yet completely unexpected force.
Teeing! Ting!
A vampire coat that deflects gunfire.
It was lighter than the armor knights previously wore, but its defensive power was greatly enhanced.
Boom! Boom!
The agents pulled out another pistol and fired diligently with both hands, but it was not enough to pierce the vampire coat.
Rather, the knights, including Lancelot, hid behind the pillars and closed the distance, so they were only wounded by the long blades.
but···
Kaaaaang!
Whether it was made of a special material or not, the tips of their swords did not go into their suits, and the knights of Camelot had no choice but to button up their lapels and step back for a moment.
“Head! If that doesn’t work, aim for the head or something else!”
The men also noticed the coat’s identity, and this time they focused their gunfire on the head and legs.
The knights seemed to hesitate a little bit···
“Here we go again!”
Under Lancelot’s command, twelve knights breathed aura into the tips of their swords.
Since the decisive battle with Barnaul, the knights have not stopped their Auror training for a single day.
As a result, you can now have an attack power of at least 4 times higher just by covering yourself with an aura regardless of your weapon.
Thump! Thump! Chooah!
The knights quickly approached, defending against bullets with nimble movements.
Finally, he cut off the wrists and necks of the agents holding pistols, and cut off the ankles of those who tried to retreat…
“Get out first! Hide inside!”
Agents began to stick to the wall one by one.
An unknown dimensional space entered using Evans’ pistol.
Using this, the agents’ figures were projected onto the wall like two-dimensional pictures.
Kaaaaang! Kaaaaang!
No matter how much I cut, I was only scraping the walls of the palace.
of course···
Kwaaaaaaaah!
“Keuh-euh-euh!”
Those mere dimensions meant nothing in the face of a chunk of metal that could blow away a building’s walls.
Kwaaaaang!
Kwaaaaang!
So, while I was dealing with the agents hiding all over the walls like swatting away mosquitoes with my flying ball…
“Hey, stop!”
The knock was effective.
Another door opened from inside, and a man wearing a red handkerchief came running out.
“Business! Let’s talk about business···!”
The place he ran out of was Westminster Hall, which could be called the symbol of the palace.
Behind the bastard, a neatly arranged stained glass window made of arched frames was emitting pure white light.
As I stared blankly at the light, an old adage about humanity came to mind.
-Knock and it will be opened to you.
According to ancient philological interpretation···
-Just scream. Then you’ll understand.
I nodded quietly.
“What do you want···?”
Totten, with a red handkerchief pinned to his chest and his pomaded hair combed back, asked me.
He was the head of Totten Investments here, and his neat suit reminded me of a Chamber of Commerce employee, but unlike the rest of the guys who were covered in a subtle cynicism, he was a guy who radiated passion and energy.
In human terms, he gives off the impression of a CEO of a mid-sized company who has been on a steep path to success.
I also answered as a representative of Pax FC.
“They said we could start a business through you guys. We’re really busy expanding our business.”
There were so many places to stop by.
From those who had their eye on the Earth since the bidding competition, to those who waged an all-out war like Barnaul.
They say that if you come, you have to go, and this time it was our turn to give those bastards a beating on their home soil.
one side···
“that···”
Totten’s face crumpled.
Even though he looked around absentmindedly, as if he was deeply troubled, he took out a notebook and wrote down various things, then crossed them out repeatedly.
As a representative of an investment company, he seems to be carefully weighing risks and benefits.
But not long after, the guy suddenly answered me, as if he had made up his mind and was marking punctuation marks in his notebook.
“···Okay, we’ll make Pax FC a business.”
“Yes, sir!”
One of the agents standing next to him tried to dissuade him, but Toton seemed determined and held up his palm to stop the man.
Then he asked me.
“It is true that you can apply for a business through our investment company… but even then, you must pass the review of the Chamber of Commerce. Could you… briefly explain Pax FC’s organizational structure and business?”
It was a requirement I had already heard from Jericho.
Accordingly, we reorganized the organization and even prepared our own business items.
I told Representative Totten about PaxFC’s terminal classification and the byproducts of neatly processed monsters.
“Hmm… It seems to have a certain amount of variety. However, since it is a raw materials industry and not a resource based on Earth, there is a possibility that it will be rejected. However, we will take care of that part in the documents. Of course, it may take some time for the review results to be announced.”
Although Totten looked embarrassed, he showed his determination to find a solution somehow.
Then he spoke in a more cautious voice this time, as if this was more important.
“There needs to be evidence that Pax FC will cooperate not only in the pioneering work on Earth, but also in the pioneering of other dimensions in the future. Well, this part is not difficult, so let’s prepare together little by little.”
Simply put, prove to yourself that you can be an invader.
Totten added that those who have worked with other organizations in the past or have been active in the chamber’s pioneering programs are likely to be viewed relatively favorably by the chamber.
This was true for the 1st Army Corps that practiced human sacrifice, the Yushin Awakening Society that dreamed of an empire, and the southern forces of the United States that even exploited other dimensions.
And then…
“Finally, we need 300,000 magic stones for the registration fee. How much is Pax FC’s reserve fund…?”
It seemed like the guy still didn’t know his place.
When I see you ask about other people’s financial situation in a cheeky manner.
“What the hell are you talking about? You’re an investor? Of course you should pay.”
“Yes···? Ah, even so, all 300,000······!”
Toton sat up abruptly, as if he was shocked.
But after a while, the guy who met my eyes seemed to have finally confirmed their location.
The sword blades of the knights of Camelot flashed, and a pitch-black cloud sphere floated in the air like a mobile.
“Ugh······”
The guy who picked up the notebook again immediately crumpled it up as if he was now wrong.
It seemed like it was just my way of venting my anger.
“···Okay, I understand. I will support the full investment······”
Tiring!
[‘Toton Investment’ has proposed an investment of 300,000 magic stones.] [Would you like to accept?]
A message came up from the Awakening System, and as soon as I accepted the offer, my dimensional account balance swelled in an instant.
“······”
Toton hung his head in despair, but I thought I saw the guy’s smile for a moment.
Surely, he must have some corner of him that he believes in.
As Evans told me, the moment Pax FC receives the investment, it will be forever at the mercy of the investment company by contract.
That must be why Toton handed the magic stone over to me so readily.
Without anticipating his own fate that would come.
“Then what’s left to do is···”
Today, Pax FC will be listed as a business entity.
Why are you waiting so long for the Chamber of Commerce to review your case?
There is a ‘business’, Toton Investment, that is operating normally right in front of you.
The number of magic stones needed to reach subspace level 8 is 500,000.
Thanks to Tottenham’s ‘investment’, that condition had just been met.
Tiring!
[There are 541,339 magic stones remaining.]
I opened my fat wallet and went straight to shopping.
The first step towards expanding into multiple dimensions is the name of a ‘business.’
therefore···
“Pax, eat.”
[All right.]
It was Pax FC’s first ‘overseas direct purchase’.
