The Dungeon Master's
Chapter 271 - Bothers Only
"Business with me? You can send the proposal to the Grandia Group via the email on our official website. So much and thank you." Reply Eric while trying to walk past the six of them.
'Bruuk!'
Unexpectedly, the brownish-haired man who had a height of about 190cm was blocking Eric. His name was William the leader of all those people.
"I'm sorry but we can't let you go." William said with a look down with an arrogant face.
It is true that Eric has a body height that only reaches about 175cm. But the posture of Eric who is currently very trained and quite muscular. Maybe just because Eric has a shorter body makes William very confident to beat him at any time with just his physical strength.
"Hmm? You purposely blocked my path? Tell me what you want now before I battered your arrogant face." Eric said with a very sharp look.
"Masbro's.... Can I beat up that guy?!" Said Rendy with her upset face. If the business was hit, even Eric was still one step behind Rendy.
"No. Let's see what's behind this arrogant face. Talking standing up is uncomfortable. What if we go to the waiting room next door?" Eric said with a faint smile while pointing towards his right side.
"It turns out that the population of that poor country is smart enough to talk too?" William said with a very contemptuous face. But Eric only replied to her with a faint smile.
But in his heart was filled with thoughts of reversing all current circumstances for his benefit.
'So this is the person mentioned by Straf? As he says. This guy is very cunning. But let's see how long he can keep that arrogant face."
Eric opened the door to the room and turned on the lights and the room temperature.
Eric, Lisa and Rendy are sitting on the left side of the sofa. William, Rose, Margrett, Robert, Antonio and Frans sat on the right-hand side of the sofa.
"So hurry. I'd like to get some fresh air outside this building." Said Eric while putting on his lazy face.
"Then I won't hold back. I'll spare you if you hand over all the prizes you've earned in this competition." William said with his slick face.
Hearing that, Eric just sighed.
"Well.... I thought what. Turns out it was just a thief disguised as a player? It turns out that Western countries are so poor that they need to steal from other poor countries?" Said Eric with a sharp look while insinuating.
But William just laughed satisfied to see Eric's behavior.
"Haha! Relax while you can Eric. It's because I know your big secret." Said William while glancing towards Rose.
Rose herself is a very graceful woman in the real world. With a red dress suit that is so beautiful makes anyone's eyes can be fooled by its charm.
Of course, it had absolutely no effect on Eric and Rendy.
At this time, Rose was busy watching a device like a white tablet with a hologram screen.
A tool to detect the lies that will be done by the target. And of course, right now the target is Eric.
Meanwhile, Margrett seems busy recording everything that happens in this room with his cell phone.
After realizing all these things, Eric immediately devised a very terrible counter plan for the European side.
"You know? I can drag you to court if you record other people's private things without permission."
Hearing that, Rose immediately gasped and was shocked. So did Margrett who immediately kept his phone.
By the time William glanced towards his right side, Rose immediately shook her head. It showed that Eric was not lying at all about dragging them all to the green table.
"Hm.... You're pretty smart, aren't you?" Said William while narrowing his eyes slightly. He began to realize that the person he was facing right now was not an ordinary person who could be underestimated.
After being silent for a moment and noticing the figure of Eric who even looks to be underestimating the current situation by cleaning his nostrils, William immediately pulled out his ace.
As expected, Eric seemed surprised to hear William's words. He looks a little widening his eyes.
But in his heart he said something else.
'This guy's.... Isn't he too outdated? I haven't heard the nickname Summoner from a stranger like him in a long time.'
With intentions that are much more cunning than William, Eric just follow the game.
"W-what?! You're.... How do you know about it?!" Shouted Eric surprised by acting that was no less competitive with famous actors.
As William glanced at Rose, he was seen shaking his head. Which means that there's no lie at all in Eric's words.
Knowing that he had won this battle of words, William smiled very satisfied.
"You made a big mistake by helping Chris at the time, Eric. We even know your hideout in the Alps." William said with confidence.
Eric who realized that it was indeed one of his big mistakes was quite upset. However, he kept his posture and realized one thing for sure.
That is a fact that the interlocutor is not a person who can be underestimated. Therefore, he prepared a very simple trap.
"How do you know that, William?" Eric asked with his serious face which of course was just acting.
"It's a shame I can't tell you the source. But one thing is for sure, Eric. My information network is so vast that it can know almost everything that happens in the entire virtual world." Reply William with his arrogant face that is so worthy if hit with all his might.
Realizing that pulling information from his opponent was quite difficult, Eric began to fall silent and thought of his next move while pretending to panic.
William did not give up the golden opportunity. Deftly, he also pulled out his other card.
"I also know that you have been defeated by the holy army led by the Inquisitors. Then you quickly build a new power."
Hearing that, Eric became very convinced.
'This guy's.... Although the information is incomplete but still dare to lie like that before me? How interesting!' Eric thought in his heart. Of course, to smooth his actions, Eric still continues acting to follow William's game.
And with a simple sentence, William has fallen in Eric's biggest trap.
"Th-that's not true! I-I managed to defeat all the Inquisitors and the holy army!" Eric shouted loudly and was quite nervous.
William who reflexively turned his head towards Rose immediately noticed it when he saw Rose nod his head.
'This guy's.... His lies are easy to read. Even without the device, I know when he's lying!' William thought in his heart with a satisfied smile as if he had won this battle of words.
But on the other hand, Eric who saw William's reaction actually smiled very widely in his heart and kept his face looking panicked on the outside.
'Consider your pride this time. But it's the lie detector that's gonna be a tomb for yourself.' Eric thought in his heart.
At that moment, Eric felt very grateful to be reunited with Elin. A former liar and controller of the greatest man Eric knows. Being able to learn from that person directly made Eric who currently had surpassed the manipulator degree.
Not only that, his school in the field of business in the VR world has always emphasized the term Poker Face and Acting. That's because in negotiations, the ability to keep the look on your face and even manipulate it is a great asset to win a very profitable contract.
Including the ability to predict the thoughts of the interlocutor at hand.
Some of these are simple skills but very difficult to master.
An ability that became Eric's greatest stock in the business world is so cruel.
