Chapter 14: Refining a Lapis Lazuli VI (1)

Chapter 14: Refining a Lapis Lazuli VI (1)

The moment of boiling passion had passed.

At the moment, Bahamut and Bertina were fully clothed and were facing each other again.

Although Bertina still felt her body tremble because the ecstasy she had experienced the moment before was so strong, she was sufficiently capable of controlling the current level of sensation.

‘I’ll be experiencing that again soon anyway... but that’s something to think about later. Now that the situation has turned to this, it’ll at least let the others survive...’

Bertina usually regarded the people woking under her only as tools for achieving success.

Although she didn’t show it on the surface, that was her true intentions. And in fact, those who had become useless to her would quietly be purged without any mercy.

However... after losing everything she had, she felt a bit different.

No matter how much she though of them as tools, it was true that she had some attachment to them.

With that thought in mind, Bertina watched Bahamut as he slowly took out documents from his bag.

“Okay then, sign here. It doesn’t really matter if you read the contents, as you should be aware that you have no right to refuse, right?”

“Yes. I know..”

Despite that, in order to find even a little room for negotiation, Bertina began to carefully read through the documents prepared by Bahamut.

And then...

“What is...this... this is...”

“Why? Do you not like the conditions?”

“Ah... no... not like that...”

Feeling bewildered, Bertina examined the contents of the document once more.

However, no matter how many times she read it, the content contained in it remained the same.

Bertina thought that he would take the entire Uranus Merchant Company, and she would lose all her rights and become his sla*ve, unable to do anything except lick Bahamut’s feet.

After the excessively generous treatment given to her, Bertina began to carefully examine the man in front of her eyes.

“Why?..”

“Yes? What?”

“Why did you... show mercy to the Uranus Merchant Company to this extent?” She asked. “Wouldn't you be able to swallow everything whole?”

“Hmm... well? Why would I do that?”

Bahamut showed a smile and replied with a question,

Feeling that the calm she had maintained until now was breaking for the first time, Bertina spoke in a strong tone, “Tell me. Even though I’ve become a sla*ve, I must hear the reason!”

Bertina raised her voice for the first time in a while.

In response, Bahamut showed a slightly serious expression and spoke in a calm tone.

“Haah... well... there are several reasons, but... um... yes... if I have to say... I just don’t want to start another commercial war... is that enough?”

“..!”

The moment Bertina heard those words, a certain thought flashed across her mind.
