Despite Being an Extra, I'm the Villain's Childhood Friend - Chapter 48.2
Chapter 48.2
“Oh.”
She tapped the tip of her chin with her long finger as if she was interested in the client who was different from her expectations. Although the upper part of her face was shadowed by the hood, she could feel her gaze shifting to Robert.
“What would the esteemed young master like to request?”
Kirsha naturally knew Robert’s true identity.
Indeed, they were the Information Guild. Although he would normally find it uncomfortable, he felt a strange sense of trust building up, and Robert immediately spoke.
“If I make a request, will you accept it 100%?”
These were quite assertive words coming from a seven-year-old.
Kirsha chuckled, finding him adorable.
“Let’s hear it first and then decide.”
“There’s nothing you can’t do.”
As he spoke, Robert began to prowl around the table like a predator. As a dangerous aura flowed, Kirsha wiped away her smile as if it were never there. Camry felt his skin tingle, even though the murderous intent was not directed at him, and he hunched his shoulders.
“I want a definitive answer now.”
Blackmail from a mere seven-year-old.
However, Kirsha instinctively felt that she should not underestimate the person in front of her and carefully closed her mouth. The murderous intent towards her was blatant.
Thump, thump.
The slow footsteps that echoed through the air seemed to constrict her throat, urging her to answer quickly.
“… You’ve raised a monster.”
Her lips, which had barely opened, were directed at Oren.
Robert twitched one eyebrow.
Was she still underestimating him as a child?
When she addressed Oren, skipping over the person who had placed the request, Robert felt a sense of displeasure. However, Oren took Kirsha’s side. He crossed his arms and yawned languidly as if he were bored to death.
“Yawnn― Stop setting the mood and speak quickly.”
“Yeah. I’m dying of curiosity, too.”
Michael, who had been standing next to him, chimed in as if this were the perfect opportunity.
Anyway, what a hateful brat.
Robert had intended to gather momentum and create an atmosphere that was favorable to him, but he realized that bringing Oren and Michael along was a tactical failure to begin with. Strictly speaking, it was Oren who had brought them.
‘Useless humans.’
In that case, it was time for his second plan. As he glared at the two of them, Robert took something out of his inner pocket.
Slap!
Something heavy was placed on the table. Gold coins spilled out of the slightly opened pocket.
Camry’s eyes widened in surprise at the sight of the enormous sum of money. What kind of request was he going to make? Was it okay for him to be here? For some reason, he felt like he had gotten himself into a huge mess that he shouldn’t be involved in, and it was making him increasingly uncomfortable…
“Hire a person.”
“….?”
Kirsha tilted her head, not understanding what he meant.
She wasn’t the only one. No one else understood the double meaning of the request.
Oren, assuming that he was being awkward because it was his first time, opened his mouth as if to teach him.
“That’s not how you make a request. You’re leaving out the front and back…”
“Take this guy in as a guild member.”
From the moment he arrived, Robert’s mind had been filled with one thought: how great it would be to have someone planted in the Information Guild, as his esteemed teacher Gerald had said.
“Huh…?”
A dazed voice came from Camry. His amber eyes, which had been staring intently at Robert’s profile, shook violently.
“Young master, what did you just…”
“I said there’s nothing you can’t do, right?”
“If I suddenly disappear, my mother will worry….”
“Make it a commuting format. Twice a week.”
“I don’t know how to do anything….”
“The request fee is what you see in front of you. What do you say?”
“….”
Camry wanted to cry.
Until the moment the huge sum of money appeared on the table, he had never imagined that it was the price of his own body.
How did he get into this mess?
He turned his head pathetically, pleading for help, but unfortunately, what caught his eye was Oren and Michael, who were leaning back in their chairs with interest, watching the show unfold. Come to think of it, he didn’t think he had ever been helped by those two during the years he had been manipulated by Robert.
“….”
Camry grew gloomy, foreseeing a bleak future.
And Kirsha, sitting across from him, was watching him with a cautious eye. She wasn’t stupid. She could tell that Robert’s proposal wasn’t simple.
But a new guild member?
There was no way she could carelessly take in someone she couldn’t trust.
