“It’s hot.”
But maybe thanks to her plan.

— Secretary Kim has unexpected skills. apple She seems half airheaded, but she gets things done. attic Anyway, getting Pertinax to make his auction house available was half the job, so it’s perfect.

“I don’t know how Secretary Kim pulled it off, but it looks like Pertinax X accepted.”
“I think it’s fine.”
Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 423: Rich (2) by Indra Translations.

‘The timing is too delicate.’

That man was Saki Kojima.

How the hell could she give me the exact location?
“Than…”
‘How?’

“Excuse us.”
Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 423: Rich (2) by Indra Translations.
“Oh! anchor They’re playing stone-pushing!”
Two old men were hunched over a go board. apple Behind me, Choi Seol-Ah peeked her head curiously.
“Hmm?”

“I am Kang Geom-Ma.”
“Hmm?”

The go board flipped and the stones scattered through the air.
Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 423: Rich (2) by Indra Translations.
Choi Seol-Ah shot me a proud look, as if boasting.
With all courtesy, the old men escorted us.
Yes, yes, how clever you are.
Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 423: Rich (2) by Indra Translations.
I sighed and stepped into the inner room of the real estate office.
Not just one, but several.
There were visitors.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 423: Rich (2) by Indra Translations.
“At ease.”
With flawless posture, like a martial movement, they saluted me.

“Understood.”
They were the imperial guards.
They remained firm.

They were my central force for this operation.
What irony. auction Using the imperial army to deliver a slap to the Empire itself.
“It is an honor that you summoned us.”

“This is the list of sponsors of the new auction house. avalanche Indeed, the Empire has provided funds, but the amount is minimal. adopt It doesn’t even reach the level once invested in the Pertinax Auction House in its golden age.”
Samsuk unrolled a scroll.
“Then, is the rumor false that the emperor is the true patron behind that new auction house?”
It was made of flammable material, designed to vanish without a trace upon contact with fire.
Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 423: Rich (2) by Indra Translations.
With a grave expression, Samsuk continued.
“Very likely.”

“Hmm.”

I nodded toward the imperial guards.
Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 423: Rich (2) by Indra Translations.
“Then, I will also count on you that day.”
With that cry of obedience, the guards dissolved.
Thank you, Abel.

“We all know that by doing this we are betraying the Empire. atom Even so, we collaborate of our own choice. galaxy Do not carry that debt.”
“If the emperor discovers you and you are left without shelter, come to Joaquin. arena In the graduate school there are plenty of spots.”
Perhaps perceiving my unease, Samsuk shook his head.
And I truly meant it.
Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 423: Rich (2) by Indra Translations.
“If there aren’t, we’ll take yours and that’s it.”
“There aren’t plenty of spots!”

Our calloused hands clasped.
“So it shall be.”
Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 423: Rich (2) by Indra Translations.
Then, Choi Seol-Ah, who had remained with arms crossed in silence, spoke to me.
“We’ll see each other that day.”
Leader Samsuk also withdrew from the room.
Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 423: Rich (2) by Indra Translations.
“Yes.”
“Turning an entire group of imperial guards into allies?”
“…This was your idea, lord? acoustic Not the director’s plan, but something yours, original?”
Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 423: Rich (2) by Indra Translations.
“Wow… seriously. autumn How corny, how crazy.”
“Choi Seol-Ah, if there are spies like you…”
I gestured with my chin.
“Exactly.”
