The Lazy Genius of the Duke’s Family (61)

Free Trade City Pyleus (1)

Thud, thud.

Late at night.

Someone came to Benio’s dormitory. The person with the hood pulled down low hesitated for a while, then carefully knocked on the door as if he had decided on something.

“Wow, who are you?”

Tony opened the door slightly, rubbing his eyes from the inside. Then the hooded figure whispered something to Tony in a low voice, and Tony nodded and opened the door.

“Please come during the day from now on, Cadet Giovanni.”

“Didn’t you say you came secretly!”

Whoosh!

Giovanni took off the hood he was wearing. Tony just rubbed his eyes at the sight of Giovanni’s sleek, handsome face.

I’m so sleepy, but where is that? It wasn’t even a high-crime area to begin with, it was a dormitory within the academy.

“It’s more suspicious that you’re walking around the academy wearing a hood like that.”

“It would be embarrassing if someone noticed it for no reason.”

“Ugh, I’m going to go in and sleep a little more.”

Tony rubbed his eyes and disappeared into his room. Giovanni clicked his tongue as he watched Tony like that.

“How could that guy Benio have a servant like that, tsk.”

Giovanni, who had been secretly looking at Tony’s chest, shook his head.

“What kind of friend is that! You’re the devil, the devil!”

Giovanni’s voice was filled with evil. It couldn’t be otherwise. Benio had bet 20,000 gold on him, which he had somehow managed to get, and Giovanni was still in the red.

A significant portion of that deficit was due to Benio, meaning Giovanni owed Benio a huge amount of money.

’38 thousand gold…’

Tears welled up in Giovanni’s eyes. Thirty-eight thousand gold. Giovanni received seventy gold pieces of allowance a month from the Turkish baron.

A family of four can live off of 10 gold for a month, which is not a small amount of money, but if they receive 70 gold each month, when will they ever pay off the 38,000 gold?

‘I’m screwed, I’m screwed.’

Giovanni muttered as he slumped his shoulders. He would pay back the debt if he could, but when he was hit with a huge debt of 38,000 gold, he lost his will to live.

‘No, but am I not the object of the future? To make the Turkic Baron great! This is nothing but a hardship that will make me stronger!’

While Giovanni was calming down, there was someone staring at him intently.

“If you’re here, why don’t you just come in? What are you doing there?”

“Eww! This is a surprise!”

It was Benio. Benio came out when he heard a noise outside and found Giovanni muttering to himself. However, when Giovanni was even more surprised, Benio made a dumbfounded expression.

“Come in.”

“Yeah, yeah.”

We met not as cadets and cadets, friends and friends, but as debtors and creditors. And it was not Benio but Giovanni who created this place today.

“You could have come when it was daylight, so why did you insist on coming at this late hour?”

Giovanni insisted on going to Benio’s dormitory in the middle of the night.

thud!

But then Benio heard a loud thud behind him and turned his head, then was startled by the sight of Giovanni kneeling.

“what are you doing?”

“Bennio!”

“Uh, uh.”

Benio was slightly taken aback by Giovanni’s powerful gaze. In fact, Benio had a rough idea of ​​why Giovanni had come to see him.

A debt of 38 thousand gold.

Benio had guessed that Giovanni had come to him because of the debt he had put on his name, 20,000 gold pieces, which he could not pay and which had led to his bankruptcy.

But I never expected that I would get on my knees.

“We’re academy classmates, right? And we’re friends too! Isn’t that right!”

Giovanni looked at Benio with glaring eyes, as if he were a son-in-law asking his father-in-law for his daughter. Benio nodded.

“yes.”

But Benio was a little flustered at first because Giovanni said that, but he quickly regained his original appearance. Benio added a beat later.

“That’s exactly what it was. Until you owed me a debt.”

“Ugh.”

Giovanni made a gesture of clutching his chest. It was only recently that he lost all his hard-earned savings of 2,000 gold for one wrong word. And now he was in debt for 38,000 gold.

“So that’s what you came here to ask? Then go back. The closer you are to friends, the more accurate your calculations should be. So….”

“That’s not it! This body, which will be the target of the future, cannot ask for the debt to be forgiven. I will pay it all back!”

“therefore?”

“It doesn’t matter how I pay it back, right?”

Giovanni glared at Benio. Benio shrugged.

“That’s true. If you just pay back 38,000 gold….”

“then!”

Giovanni pointed at himself.

“Hire this Giovanni Turk, the future target! It won’t hurt you either! I told you not to, but I heard that even though he’s shy when it comes to handling money, he has a natural talent.”

Benio glanced at Giovanni with eyes that seemed to show distrust. Giovanni’s mouth went dry at the sight of Benio’s eyes.

“Oh, really. You know I’m top of my class in commerce. And….”

Sigh.

Benio raised his hand, indicating that he should stop talking. Giovanni quickly shut his mouth. After a while, Benio sighed as if he had no other choice and said,

“There’s nothing I can do. But he’s my close friend, so I can’t just accept 38,000 gold in gold. And I can’t go to the Turk Baron’s house with this and ask him to pay it instead.”

Giovanni nodded vigorously. It was almost as if he was going to break. Benio spoke to Giovanni in a tone that said, “There’s really, really no other way.”

“Okay, I’ll hire you. Let’s just say the contract period is 10 years.”

“Poem, ten years?”

Giovanni opened his eyes wide. Then he began to speak, spittle flying from his mouth.

“Is that enough? You’re only a cadet, and you’re giving me 4,000 gold a year? Benio Kepler, you’re such a generous friend.”

“At the end of the year, let’s calculate the performance of the past year and give you an additional deduction. If you work hard, it might not take even 10 years.”

“Oh, good!”

Giovanni wiggled his buttocks, insisting on signing the contract right away. The terms were much more generous than he had originally thought.

Because Giovanni had no choice but to accept whatever conditions Benio presented.

‘What a good friend! This Giovanni has the luck of friends!’

Just a moment ago, the one who had been cursing him as a devil was Giovanni, who had disappeared from his memory. He had only said that he was the future target, but he had agreed to hire him for 10 years at a whopping 4,000 gold per year, not knowing what would happen to him.

Sweep, sweep.

Giovanni signed the contract. Benio signed it too. Then, blue magic flowed out and the contract was concluded.

At that moment, Benio’s expression changed.

A devilish smile appeared on Giovanni’s face, one that he had seen a few times before.

Shudder.

“Why, why are you laughing like that?”

“So Giovanni, my future target, my friend and classmate.”

Benio pointed to the contract.

“If you’re going to be the target, you should have doubted what others say at least once. No matter how disadvantageous it may be for you.”

“uh?”

Giovanni felt a chill run down his spine at those words. How could a well-bred young baron know the hardships of the world?

Benio read the contract to Giovanni kindly, with his usual devilish smile on his face.

“Giovanni Turk has been employed by Benio Kepler for ten years, and has used his abilities to the fullest extent to manage Benio Kepler’s funds. All profits generated by him….”

Giovanni’s eyes widened as if they were going to tear apart. Benio read the next part with a glare.

“It is expressly stated that it belongs to Benio Kepler and any additional income derived therefrom belongs to Benio Kepler.”

Trembling.

Giovanni’s hands began to shake.

“Giovanni, for the next ten years, all the money you earn will belong to me, so know that.”

“That, that, that kind of thing….”

Giovanni stuttered. Normally, when you get to the top, you have to make a similar contract. However, in order to encourage the motivation of the lineman, incentives are usually set, but Benio hired Giovanni for 38,000 gold for 10 years and eliminated the incentives.

That means Giovanni has to work for Benio for free for the next ten years.

In return, 38,000 gold will be deducted after 10 years.

‘Well, that’s not really the case.’

Of course, Benio didn’t intend to squeeze Giovanni so harshly. It was just a training exercise to prevent Giovanni, his friend and colleague, from getting beaten up in other places.

“Giovanni, there is no such thing as an unmerited favor in this world. That’s the second lesson, Giovanni.”

“Ugh, euaaaah!”

Giovanni screamed, clutching his head in disbelief. Benio smirked at him.

‘It’s all according to plan.’

The conversation he had with Chris a few days ago flowed through Benio’s head.

* * *

“That much money?”

“I’ll return the principal right away. I’m just trying to get one person.”

“If you are human….”

“Giovanni Turk. He is the third son of the Baron Turk family. He is a student of the Faculty of Commerce.”

Chris looked surprised.

“Are you the only student at the Academy who is allowed to bet? You seem very resourceful.”

“Yes. He has some decent talent. So I’m going to make him mine.”

“So that’s why you wanted the money.”

Benio smirked. Giovanni’s resourcefulness had been proven to some extent by the last time he escaped from the academy. And Giovanni had the ability to fill in what Benio lacked.

‘Sangjae. This has nothing to do with me.’

The Kepler family is a merchant family. What Benio originally wanted was recognition from the family. So, in the Kepler family, merchants are also an important factor.

Benio is thinking of replacing that position with Giovanni. After all, a head of a household is someone who employs the right person with the right skills for the right position, and is not someone who handles everything by hand.

“I will give it to you, my lord.”

“I’ll give it back to you in a day.”

Benio smiled sinisterly and accepted the heavy bag containing about 20,000 gold worth of jewels. Benio hummed involuntarily, thinking that he might have sadistic tendencies.

* * *

Benio, recalling his conversation with Chris, clapped his hands together and spoke to Giovanni in a refreshing voice.

“Giovanni. I’ll give you your first task.”

“Ugh….”

Giovanni was still not in his right mind about being cheated by Benio again. But Benio didn’t care. The contract was already over anyway.

Whether it was a scam or not, it was ultimately Giovanni’s fault for not knowing about it before signing the contract. Benio laughed like an evil spirit.

“I will take you with me to the exchange at Pyleus. You will earn my money there.”

“Do, money?”

“The money you earned, plus the money I originally had. 1,000 gold.”

“….”

Trembling.

Giovanni’s hands were trembling, but Benio paid no attention and spoke.

“They say that the exchange competition is a legal gambling event of a scale that is incomparable to anything here. You observe the cadets participating in the exchange competition there and bet money. And you always make money.”

“…So where are you going to use it?”

There must be a reason why Benio wants to borrow money. When Giovanni asked him about it, Benio told him calmly.

“I plan to create a top. A top that is my own that can be recognized by my family. The top leader there is you, Giovanni.”

Giovanni’s eyes widened.
