Overgeared

Chapter 41

“A disgraceful person. Trying to beat me like this.”

Valmont chuckled as he watched Grid being arrested before speaking to the silent Rabbit,

“How is it? He is arrested before the result came out, so there is no concern about losing public sentiment?”

“…That’s right.”

Valmont’s actions were understandable from the point of view of the leader of the Mero Company. If it were the usual Rabbit, he would’ve done the same thing as Valmont. But now, he didn’t feel comfortable.

‘That youth called Grid…’

Grid created such a great work in just three hours. A blacksmith of that degree might truly be the best on the continent. Becoming the best in his field at such a young age? He truly was a unparalleled genius.

‘He has tremendous growth potential. If I could cooperate with that young man, I will be able to accumulate an unmatched wealth…’

Rabbit was a person who only moved for profit. His merchant’s instincts meant he showed a profound interest in Grid.

On the other hand, Euphemina was still on the stage.

‘It is clear who the victor is.’

She thought she had an incredibly high chance to win after making the Dagger of Bewitchment. The Dagger of Bewitchment was an outstanding work. However, she soon realized that she was mistaken.

The work that Grid made was far superior to her own at first sight. Euphemina knew she would lose and fail the quest the moment the information appeared on the display board. But at that moment, Grid was arrested? It was really exquisite timing.

‘It is disgusting but…’

Euphemina descended the stage, walked over to Rabbit, and said,

“The development was strange and the actual result might be different, but the crowd is convinced of my victory. Even though the game has been stopped, the crowd thinks I won. Isn’t that alone sufficient to achieve the Mero Company’s aim? So I want the reward.”

Rabbit nodded and said, “It is as you said. I will keep the promise.”

Euphemina’s expression brightened as she received the rewards. She checked the newly create stats and skills.
