Hellbents
Chapter 148: The Mysterious Group
Darkened. Without a shining light, no one could see what was happening inside a cave on the edge of the forest of the coastal village, Uflaria kingdom.
But the sound of bone snapping, skin and flesh tearing, fierce chewing, and savage growls made anyone immediately escape, away from the mysterious place.
Among the sounds similar to the monster banquet, there was the clear voice of a woman, smooth and sweet, "Have you heard?"
"Grrr, how are you?" Some people don't like to be disturbed when they eat.
"If the antidote to the plague of your blood has been created."
Nyam, nyam, nyam. Gluey! "Heh, hurry up too. I thought it would take another 4 months before they succeed." Sreth! The body was dragged, not long before the hands, feet, and head of the corpse were separated from the body.
"Nah~ I heard that the antidote was a princess?"
"A princess? Isn't their job just to look beautiful like dolls?"
"Eh~ Even so I remain the most beautiful dong~"
"...."
"Haha, relax dong~ Hm, I hear you anyway, this one princess is famous from the past. Smart and innovative! Moreover, his native kingdom also became the strongest kingdom in this world~"
"Strong?!" The third person who had been silent immediately replied.
"Right, right~ Uh, but don't think for Levi's assortment, because the kingdom's a part of Luci~"
Nyam, nyam! "A, Edodale? Luci's fanatics are already in action, aren't they?"
"Cih, then Beel shouldn't have touched my playing area!"
"Ck, ck, ck, you should know why Beel's game is called "plague", my dear brother~ If only the princess could not make an antidote, then, it will not be able to stop its spread even when the whole world is infected though~"
"Isn't that unfair?!"
"Ih~ Your temperament looks like Satan, huh? No need to shout dong, in this cave whispering alone has been heard loudly."
"... Noisy at you." With a sleepy voice, a new figure reprimanded their weaklings.
"I wonder why he can still fall asleep in this cave."
"Well, kan~ Dark, dirty, and damp! Well, my poor skin, how can I I sleep without face care tonight?!"
"It's all because of that greedy bastard, huh?!"

The funds Ezra had were actually far from enough to make the potion plant an antidote, though, the money he received as an artifact loan to overcome the drought in Berloi was running out because he donated it back to a population that was still short of food. Fortunately, the business he built with Princess Eve was considered essential and ensured great success, which is why many offered to become investors.
First of all, Duke Frost. Although the man looked at Ezra as if he wanted to make it as an ice sculpture every time he talked to Princess Eve, Duke Frost was not blind to the business opportunity created.
Next, the mayor of Oranera. After his execution amandat looks ridiculous due to the intervention of the princess and herself who do not comply with the rules to quarantine infected patients, plus a humiliating incident in front of the hotel when he pleads to be watched by the surrounding residents, obviously the new mayor wants to improve his image. He was willing to provide land that could be used as a factory location, as well as the provision of labor because the elves, the race of the mayor's group, were indeed well-known experts in herbal plants, indeed, they are guaranteed to be good pharmacists. But he asked for half of the existing managerial rights, quite shameless according to Ezra, so he reasoned that he would think about it first to suggest a compromise.
Then the investors who came a lot also came from the kingdom of Uflaria, the news of birds did spread quickly. After all, the epicenter of the outbreak did come from the country, so it was no surprise that they would cross the ocean to another continent to save their home kingdom, where their main business is mostly located.
One of them, the man before Ezra was currently.
Potential: 9.8
From the skills he had, he knew that the man belonged to the genius class in his field. And this time, business. But Princess Eve who joined the tea with him, Duke Frost, and the potential investor, had told Ezra to reject the man's proposal with a hidden gesture.
Because from Ava's perspective, he sees something that could be a bad sign.
Name: Mammon
Race: Devil
Level: 1012
Oh, naw.
You mean, that "mammon"? The one listed in occult mythology as the devil symbol of the 7 great sins of man?
But ... isn't that mythology from Ava's home world?
