I’m Here to End This Fight - Chapter 408

Episode 408. Rumor (1)

Julia’s bold shout brought silence to the silence.

Julia stands tall with her arms outstretched.

And the five pairs of gazes looking at her were so emotionless.

“… … .”

“… … .”

The silence continued a little longer.

Yuri spoke on behalf of everyone.

“What is this farting and then shitting sound?”

Although others didn’t say it out loud, it seemed like they agreed with Yuri’s story.

The corners of Julia’s eyes twitched in embarrassment.

“Wow, that’s harsh!”

“… … .”

“…What’s with that crazy-bitch look in your eyes?”

“Fortunately, it seems he hasn’t completely lost his mind yet.”

“I’m fine! And think about it, what a great reward this is! I, Julia Singh, of all people, will join your mercenary group.”

“however?”

“But then… … .”

When Yuri asked with a pouty face, rubbing her ear, Julia’s shoulders slumped.

Yuri, who saw this, blew out the earwax that had come out of her little finger and said.

“Our mercenary group isn’t particularly lacking in manpower.”

“… A mercenary group of only five people, including the captain, isn’t lacking in manpower?”

“Those five can easily do the work of 500 people.”

“… … .”

“And our mercenary group is not a place where they just accept anyone who wants to come in.”

“I’m not just anyone, am I? And he just walked in this time! Do you think I don’t know?!”

Julia extended her index finger and pointed at Teresia.

Yuri glanced at Theresia, who was blinking, and answered indifferently.

“Tessha took the entrance exam and officially joined.”

“…okay?”

When Julia’s gaze fell on Teresia as if to ask if what she was saying was true, Yuri quickly cut it off.

“I don’t know what your purpose is for joining our mercenary group.”

“I’m not trying to get in, but I’m going in as compensation for this… … .”

“Stop talking nonsense like hitting me with your body and just give me compensation. If you don’t want to see me get screwed.”

I’m already so pissed off that my sword got torn in half, and you dare to throw away the reward for the request?

Yuri’s shoulders hunched slightly as he growled with his eyes wide open.

Then he let out a deep sigh and rolled his eyes.

“… You bad guy, do you really have to treat your sponsors so harshly?”

“When is a sponsor an enemy sponsor? Have I ever had something like that? I must have received proper sponsorship before.”

Julia, who had said she would sponsor Yuri when she was a child.

She bristled at Yuri’s comment.

“Hey! Did I not do it because I didn’t want to do it on purpose? I couldn’t do it because you disappeared for three years!”

“Anyway, all I’ve ever heard of it is a few pieces of information?”

“Just a few pieces of information! Bluebird… no, how expensive is the information fee for Hyunga!”

“So you want something in return? Wasn’t that sponsorship supposed to be free from any cost? Are you trying to show off now?”

“urg!”

“Stop whining and just give me the reward I prepared. I brought it all.”

Julia sighed at Yuri’s tone, which was full of annoyance, but soon ended up chuckling.

‘Nothing has changed.’

Even though it had been three whole years since I last saw him, he didn’t seem to have changed at all, as if we had broken up just yesterday.

So, strangely enough, I was happy.

Julia, who had let out a short laugh, opened her mouth.

“… Yes, if you tell me the truth, I have decided on a reward for you.”

“Then give it to me.”

“Not now.”

“What the hell is this?”

“And to give you that reward, you have to give me one thing.”

“So, you’re going to take my stuff as compensation for me?”

“… If you stare at me like that, as if you’re going to tear me to pieces, I’ll be scared. What am I going to say next?”

“Just try it. I’ll hear what you have to offer me in return, what you have to take from me, and then I’ll decide. I’ll tear you to pieces or not.”

“… That’s bad.”

Julia answered, pouting.

“What we need is the white night you have.”

“white night?”

Yuri, who was at first wondering what it was, was soon able to recall her memories.

“Ah! That piece of stone?”

One of the rewards I got from Baekiltap a while ago, the White Night.

The identity of that stone piece the size of a thumbnail is… … .

“I thought it was used to make some kind of potion?”

“Lightning.”

“Hey, Lightning?!”

As Julia answered, Gunther looked shocked next to her.

At this, Arin, Poppy, and Teresia looked at him wondering what that was, and Gunther opened his mouth.

“It is one of the world’s five greatest leaps.”

“The world’s top 5 leaps?”

Gunther answered Theresia’s question.

“Elixir of Purification, Elyon of Immortality, Iron of the Strong God, Blood of Mana, and Lightning of Awakening. Of these, the only elixir that can be obtained up to now is the elixir… The rest have not been seen in the world in recent decades. Among them, White Night is known to be an elixir that allows you to enter Don-Oh artificially.”

“Artificial money!”

“wow!”

“hungry!”

While the audience was surprised by Gunther’s story, a strange light flashed across Yuri’s eyes.

‘So, two of the world’s five greatest leaps were mine?’

Elyon had already consumed it long ago, and the elixir was now hanging around his neck.

Yuri’s expression, which had been delighted by that fact, suddenly became sharp.

“Wait, since you’re bringing that up now… I’m guessing you’re saying you’ll take White Night and give me Lightning as compensation?”

“To be more precise, you need four white nights to create lightning.”

“But didn’t you say that the secret to making lightning was lost?”

“Haha, how naive. If the secret recipe had been completely lost, how would I have known that the main ingredient was white night?”

“So that means the secret wasn’t completely lost.”

“That’s right, and we’ve recently had complete success in restoring that slander in our current home.”

“hmm…….”

Yuri, who had been quiet after listening to Julia’s story, asked with a cautious face.

“Okay, so how many Lightnings can you make if I give you the White Night?”

“If it were a white night of that size that I saw last time, depending on various variables, there would be anywhere from 10 to 20 lightning strikes.”

“There are more than I thought. What can I get out of them?”

“You will be providing the main ingredient of lightning, the White Night, and I will also be considering the reward for this quest, so I will give you half of the lightning made from the White Night you provided.”

“70%.”

“Hey! The main ingredient of Lightning is the white night, but there are so many other ingredients that go into it! And our family can afford that astronomical amount of money!”

“Considering that, it’s 70%?”

“Absolutely not!”

Julia and Yuri fought fiercely over the division of the White Nights.

As a result, it was concluded that Yuri would be given 7 leaps regardless of the completed quantity.

If you are unlucky and less than 10 lightnings are created, Yuri is advantageous, but if 15 or more lightnings are created, it is advantageous to Suspension.

‘Not bad.’

No, on the contrary, it was good.

Lightning is one of the world’s five greatest leaps.

Its value cannot be easily converted into money.

This was an item that was sufficiently acceptable as a reward for this request.

Thinking like that, Yuri immediately took out the White Night and handed it to Julia.

“When are you going to hand over Lightning?”

Julia, who had embraced the white night, answered.

“Two years later.”

“It took two years?”

“Did you think such a leap forward would be made so easily? Don’t worry, I won’t have to take away your white nights.”

“You can eat it.”

“really?”

“Oh, you can take it. I’ll invade your family and take my share.”

“…I will never steal it.”

Julia grimaced as if she found it horrifying.

Then, as if nothing had happened, he smiled brightly and said:

“Okay, next!”

“What, next?”

“I want to join your mercenary group too.”

“… … .”

Yuri’s eyes became blurry at Julia’s story.

“What is the reason?”

“what?”

“Why do you want to join our mercenary group? The great lady of the Sing family?”

“Can’t you just accept it without asking about that?”

“This is the entrance exam.”

“What is the entrance exam?”

“Interview with the manager.”

“… … .”

Doesn’t that mean that it’s up to the captain to do whatever he wants?

Julia’s face changed as if she had chewed shit when she heard this right away.

But he sighed heavily at Yuri’s clear gaze looking at him.

She hesitated for a moment.

“…uh.”

“what?”

Julia’s ears turned slightly red as she asked back at the mumbling that was too soft to hear.

“I… got kicked out of my house.”

With that said, Julia roughly told her story.

Everyone present who heard all this looked at them in disbelief.

“You broke the family rules?”

“So you’re saying that the only reason we got involved in this war was because of your reckless rebelliousness?”

Yuliya was furious at Yuri’s story.

“Oh my, such rebelliousness!”

“Then what is it?”

“… A small flap of wings for the reform of the family?”

“This is fucking crazy.”

“Boo…….”

Julia’s shoulders slumped at Yuri’s sharp criticism.

“…Anyway, that’s why I got kicked out of the house.”

“… … .”

Yuri looked blankly at Julia.

Yuri just stares at her quietly, as if he could see right through her.

Yuri, who had been looking at Julia like that for a long time, started to giggle.

“Pass.”

“huh?”

“I passed.”

“Then, from now on, I’m a member of the Sowol Mercenary Corps?”

“Have you registered as a mercenary?”

“And why didn’t you say you wanted to join the mercenary group without doing that?”

“Okay, from now on, you are also a member of the Sowol Mercenary Corps. Let’s stop by the next city and register as an official member together with Tessya.”

“okay!”

The moment Julia nodded excitedly, Yuri suddenly opened his mouth with a solemn expression.

“Julia Singh.”

“huh?”

“I give you your first mission.”

“duty?”

“I think I need to talk to the leaders of this alliance about the rewards for our mercenary corps’ achievements… I’d like you to take charge of that.”

“Negotiating compensation for major? Why don’t you do that for me… …?”

When it comes to money-related matters, it would be advantageous to demonstrate abilities beyond those of the Singh family’s financial management department.

Why would someone like him entrust this negotiation to himself?

“In this Belgrade, the name of Julia Singh carries more weight with them than that of any war hero.”

“iced coffee.”

Julia nodded as if she understood.

‘So you’re telling me to put pressure on them by selling the name of the Singh family?’

She understood what Yuri meant and smiled.

“Leave it to me, boss. I’ll come back with results you’ll be satisfied with!”

“That’s great.”

Julia gave a brief salute and headed off with a confident stride to find the leaders of the Union.

Yuri looks at Julia’s back as she quickly disappears.

‘That guy… … .’

The smile on his lips began to distort.

‘What on earth are you planning?’

Yuri watched Julia’s back for a while without saying a word.

***

That day, Julia joined.

Thanks to Julia’s efforts, the Sowol Mercenary Corps was able to secure operating funds that were not only sufficient but overflowing.

A few days later.

Following negotiations led by Poppy, the (former) Schmidt Alliance disbanded, paying a huge amount of compensation.

Then, terrifyingly, the Giclee Alliance announced their victory and declared the end of the war.

And those who took part in the war also scattered, each going their own way.

The families that participated in the alliance each took a huge amount of compensation and returned it to their own lands.

The mercenaries who took on the war commission took the large rewards and went all over the continent in search of other commissions.

People who returned with their hands full of the profits they had made from this war.

There was something that these people had in common that they held in their other hand.

That was nothing but a ‘rumor’.

The world began to stir little by little due to the ‘rumors’ spread by the countless people who returned to their respective fields.
