The Transmigrated Novelist - Chapter 267

Roy was clearly displeased by the fact that his newest ‘toy’ was actually taken by someone else and was being tortured, but he wasn’t that stupid as to immediately jump in her rescue.

After all, there was someone else that considered her as ‘his’ own toy and would most probably make a move for her.

Even though it was impossible for the guy to try and save her from her current situation and fate, he was bound to create some trouble for Count Reik.

Especially when he received a letter from the ‘toy’ describing what happened, and the fact that Lady Fiona had been all this time on Count Reik’s Mansion.

With those thoughts in mind, Roy decided to first leave the Mansion first and check what was going on at the production factory and the Sparrow Merchant Guild quarters before making his next move.

Without full knowledge and control of the current situation, it would be stupid on his part to make a move.

As for his ‘toy’ he would probably return later to have a look at her, he would either offer her to pull herself together and follow him, or just give her relief there and then.

Leaving Count Reik’s Mansion Roy’s first stop was the Sparrow Merchant Guilds quarters, and especially the movements of Boris and the Guild Master.

Both of them were tricky sly foxes that wouldn’t abide by normal logic. With those thoughts in mind, he returned to the place as fast as he could and immediately started going through the place.

Unfortunately, there was no one, and nothing of importance in there, as these guys seemed to have disappeared from sight.

Seeing that it was a waste of time looking around there, as even Alma was nowhere to be found, he decided to go and have a look at his production factory.

A lot of city guards, private soldiers, and experts were roaming through the place, trying to get a hand on the famous thief that had appeared in the city.

Most of them wanted to capture him in order to score points with Count Reik’s family, but there must be a lot of people with different goals as well.

Perhaps people wanted the thief to make a hit for them or try to recruit him in their force. Just think about the information they would be able to get if they recruited Roy.

Most probably even the best intelligence agencies of Navita were envious and jealous of these guys’ abilities and would try to recruit him as well.

It was quite the situation, but Roy didn’t really care about even one of them. He wasn’t worried about having his identity revealed either.

The only ones who knew about the fact that he was the ‘thief’ were only the important and trustworthy people on his side.

He was putting Kate on the same circle as well because she had shown the necessary potential and ability, but only time would tell whether she was worthy of that circle or not.

Arriving at the production factory he immediately saw that many guards were blocking the place, while the commander, Baldy was screaming,

“Surround the place and let us check inside! People inside, open the door and cooperate if you don’t want your place razed to the ground!”

At first, Roy was a bit worried about this situation, but upon noticing Alma inside Baldy’s office all his worries ceased to exist.

Without losing time he immediately entered the third floor and brought his ladies inside Gaia, before jumping outside again, and entering the opposite building.

In there the blue-haired beauty Alma was actually drinking tea, with some other people from the high society of Badona City, each of them with a weird expression on their faces.

“I truly wonder why are you trying to destroy my new business gentlemen, when I have clearly said that it has nothing to do with your industries!”

“You think that we are babies to take your word for that? Just how worthy is a woman’s word anyway?”

“At least worthier than yours Noble Kiel!”

“You… How dare you~!”

“Noble Kiel!

Stop smearing the reputation of Badona City’s nobles. We aren’t here to discuss with a woman the worth of her word, we are here to address our worries towards suspicious and illegal activities.”

Then returning to the blue-haired beauty, the spicy mustache old man who screamed at that mouth running Noble, said in a fake voice,

“Mistress Alma I would surely appreciate if you don’t try to rile up our concerned Nobles as well, after all, it’s something that won’t bring either of us any benefits.”

“First of all, I am only a Miss, Baron Timo! I have yet to marry and become a Mistress, as my husband has been on his bed like a vegetable for quite some time now!

Secondly, as long as some dogs don’t bark too loud, or try to bite then I won’t do something like that as a matter of course!

“Yoouuuu….”

It was clear who the dog was in that place, and the one who was called one would surely not like it, as he was even ready to slap Alma.

Fortunately, he was stopped by that Baron Timo, who only showed an ugly smirk and responded,

“Your tongue is too sharp for your own good ‘Miss’ Alma! I would recommend you to take care of that before you mistakenly hurt yourself and your future husband!”

“Well, this is quite an eye-opener. An old Noble such as Your Excellency actually is talking so rudely and indecently to a young lady that has the age of your daughter!

It truly leaves me breath taken and wondering Baron Timo, do you use the same speech in front of her as well?”

“Miss Alma watch your words!”

“I am really sorry if I have offended Your Excellency, it was just a stupid curiosity of mine. But I would truly wish you took better care when you react Baron Timo.

You know what they say, the publicity reaches the peak when the matter is weak! I am afraid that some indecent people will mistake your words, and your reaction.

Better be more careful next time, it’s better to be safe than sorry!”

“Yoouuu…”

Even though it was a young lady against some dinosaurs she still managed to not only hold her ground but even push them into anger.

Baron Timo seemed to have lost his cool as well at this time when suddenly the door to the office opened and Young Lady Aura entered inside.

“What is going on in here gentlemen? Your voices were being heard from behind the door!”

“Nothing, Young Lady Aura, it’s just a young ignorant woman who doesn’t know how to appreciate kindness and favor!”

“Heheh~!”

Unexpected to anyone in the room, when Baron Timo said those words, Alma chuckled like she had heard a nice joke, which clearly irritated the angry men.

“What is so funny you cheap…”

The dog seemed to jump and bark once again, but before he could finish two icy cold looks fell upon his body. One of them being Young Lady Aura, and the second being Baron Timo.

This guy was ruining whatever good reputation the Nobility of Badona City had, as he went as far as to insult the blue-haired beauty in front of Young Lady Aura.

He was lucky that it was the Young Lady, had it been her brother his dog life would be over before he realized what happened.

A human’s tongue could truly become the strongest weapon, and poison, whether it was to kill others or oneself.

Alma’s face turned a bit dark and ugly upon hearing those words, but she still managed to control her emotions, as she said in a cold and icy tone,

“Baron Timo actually dares to call young ladies as ignorant women who don’t understand the world. While I don’t think this is a big problem in my case, I can’t say that it’s the same for Young Lady Aura.

A Noble who actually dares to insult its superior of being ignorant, then what can he be for serving under her?”

Poison!

These words were nothing short of poison as everyone turned their faces towards Young Lady Aura to see her reaction, whose face turned black and ugly.

It wasn’t like she didn’t understand that Alma was just spinning those words in her favor, but at the same time, she couldn’t openly oppose her and stand on Baron Timo’s side.

Whether she liked it or not, her brother seemed obsessed with this damn bi*tch, so she couldn’t afford to make an enemy out of her right now.

For that reason, she was left with no other choice but to forcefully control herself and her emotions, before saying with a chuckle,

“Hahaha~! Big Sister Alma surely likes joking around! I am sure that Baron Timo had no such intentions.

Not only towards me, but even you, surely he was just trying to show his concerns as a Baron, Noble, and Father. It must have been some sort of parental chiding, there is no need to look too deep into it.”

“Since Little Sister Aura says so, then this big sister won’t look too deep into it.”

“By the way, Big sister Alma, how come you didn’t notify this little sister of your new business factory, I would have made sure to help you out if you needed help!”

“Well, it’s too soon to actually become functional little sister Aura, but don’t worry, once we get into the business you will be the first to know, and also the first I will call should I need help…
