Capitalist Investment And Risk Company

Young Master Naiye had the goblin guide fetch the bosses here; he had matters to discuss with them.

Then he found a crate beside the device and casually sat down.

He took out a bag of chips and began eating.

Not long after, upon hearing Young Master Naiye’s arrival.

The three bosses of this base appeared, surprised and fearful.

They were the goblin leader here, Marlin

the goblin deputy, Lieber

and their dwarf associate, Tergus

Lieber was an old acquaintance; it was he who had once invited Young Master Naiye to become chairman of the Investment and Risk Company.

At the time the offer was generous: Naiye only needed to be chairman, would even directly receive shares of the Investment and Risk Company, and most importantly, Young Master Naiye would not have to contribute anything!

But this seemingly costless attempt to win him over was actually the most expensive move.

Once Young Master Naiye joined, it would mean the Lycoris family and the Investment and Risk Company were allied.

What would happen after that would be a completely different matter.

So both his father and Naiye calmly refused such moves and maintained restraint in their dealings.

The three of them were both pleasantly surprised and frightened to see Young Master Naiye arrive.

The Investment and Risk Company would normally welcome Young Master Naiye, but this mining base did not welcome others right now.

Even Duke Naiye Lycoris.

“Welcome to the Investment and Risk Company, Young Master Naiye. May we be of any service to you?”

Marlin, the goblin leader here, clasped his hands and immediately put on a flattering, nervous smile, greeting Young Master Naiye in a fluster.

“I’m here to save you!”

When Young Master Naiye spoke, the three were stunned into silence!

But the three, with terror in their faces, glanced at one another.

No! Surely, noble Young Master, are you here to kill us?

“Uh, uh… Young Master Naiye, what do you mean by that?”

The dwarf Tergus was sweating profusely, but still symbolically voiced his confusion and asked.

The goblin deputy Lieber stood quietly to the side, but was extremely tense with cold sweat streaming down, his eyes fixed on Young Master Naiye.

“You should know this is the territory of the Dragon Knight family, right?”

“Uh… yes, we know, but we didn’t do anything else—we only came here to collect materials!”

“Yes! We have no weapons! We didn’t do any harm!”

“…………..”

Crunch!

In response to their nervous answers, Young Master Naiye, holding a chip between his fingers, pointed at the nearby device.

“Th… this is what?”

“Th-this, this… is a Dragon Beast Pulsator; the pulses it emits are specifically used to drive away beasts and Dragon Beasts!”

Seeing this, the goblin chief Marlin grew even more nervous! He had wanted to hide this from the start.

But trying to hide a technological device in front of Young Master Naiye was a fool’s dream—he might as well spill everything.

“Isn’t that obvious enough?”

Crunch!

Naiye bit another chip; the small crunch sounded impossibly loud at that moment.

Each crunch hammered at the hearts of the three!

“Uh… uh… you came to…”

“I’m here representing the Dragon Knights to negotiate with you. Leave now while you still can—you’ve already… crossed the border!”

Crunch!

Young Master Naiye’s extremely calm voice, paired with the crunching of chips, was striking and sent the three into full-blown panic.

“I… we…”

“We’ll leave soon! Within three days!”

Before the other two bosses finished speaking, goblin deputy Lieber stepped past them and answered directly!

Goblin chief Marlin and dwarf Tergus were stunned!

How long has their collection been underway? It needs at least a week!

How dare this guy say three days!

“…………”

Crunch!

But the two leaders exchanged a look and dared not speak, lest they provoke Young Master Naiye.

Three days it is! At least if the resources are collected it’s not a loss!

“Only one day… at most one day, and I can still keep you alive.”

Young Master Naiye’s calm gaze and cold voice gripped their hearts tightly!

Even so, goblin chief Marlin still wanted to resist a bit.

“Y-Young Master Naiye, it seems the Dragon Knight family hasn’t acted yet—must it be such a big deal?”

“Really? Wasn’t the previous Dragon Beast onslaught punishment enough for you?”

Uh… uh. The Dragon Beast assault.

The earlier Dragon Beast attacks were indeed orchestrated; all the mercenaries and goblins and dwarves here had witnessed the devastation.

In just a short time, a third of the machines and logging rigs were gone.

Luckily the goblin chief had prepared a Dragon Beast Pulsator in advance—he had made preparations!

This place was far too valuable—he didn’t want to give it up!

“Of course we know, but Young Master, as you also know, this Dragon Beast Pulsator is very powerful—it successfully stopped the Dragon Beasts’ assault!”

“Yeah! Yeah! We’re not afraid!”

“………..”

Crunch!

The goblin chief and his dwarf partner forced bright smiles to mask their fear and tension.

Only goblin deputy Lieber remained calm and silent, continuously watching Young Master Naiye’s expression.

Faced with their replies, Young Master Naiye gave a faint smile.

He posed a soul-searching question.

“Really… ?”

There was not even a tone of doubt—he directly questioned the device’s effectiveness.

The Dragon Beast Pulsator could indeed block the Dragon Beasts’ attacks and disrupt their cognition.

But that’s all it could do.

It might buy a moment, but not an eternity.

If you anger the Dragon Beasts, there’ll be no need for Eren to command them—they will simply crush everyone from the Investment and Risk Company.

But that would lead to loss of control; Eren wouldn’t be able to manage the Dragon Beasts either.

That would cause even greater casualties and would cause Eren’s current mission to fail.

“This…”

“Uh… uh…”

“………………”

The three of them actually understood, but they just wanted to dig up a few more materials before retreating!

Otherwise, wouldn’t the cost of coming here be wasted!

Crunch!

Young Master Naiye finished the last chip, which signaled the end of the negotiation.

Naiye finally looked at the goblin chief Marlin; his dark green face was about to flush completely red.

He lowered his head in terror, sweating profusely.

But finally he glared furiously at Young Master Naiye, then immediately reverted to a sycophantic smile.

“Y-Y-Young Master Naiye, there’s no need for you to trouble yourself. Since you didn’t join our company, there’s no need for you to waste words here.”

The other two looked at Marlin in terror, then cautiously glanced back at Naiye.

Young Master Naiye indeed made a move!

He placed the empty chip bag on the Dragon Beast Pulsator.

This action nearly caused the three to have heart attacks—they feared he would destroy the Pulsator!

After all, for Young Master Naiye of the Lycoris family, tampering with such things was far too easy.

But nothing happened; Young Master Naiye only said coolly.

“Very well, I’ve said what I needed to say. I wish you to be able to see the sun tomorrow.”

Without looking back, he left amid the three’s terrified gazes.
