Please Provide Compensation Through Divorce

Chapter 16

Two hours earlier.

In the dark underground prison, Baron Orang leaned against the wall. His cheeks were sunken, and his eyes were filled with fear.

Leto's interrogation was draining. He didn't use torture or violence. In fact, he maintained all the courtesies due to a noble. But...

'I'd rather he used violence.'

The pointed questions, the chilling glares when he remained silent, the predator's smirk as if he were about to devour him.

It was all unbearable for a sane person.

'What is the High Priest doing? He promised he would handle it if something went wrong!'

It was the High Priest who proposed this plan. One day, he approached Orang and showed him some glittering powder.

• This is the 'Goddess's Snowflake' obtained from the Grand Temple.

• The 'Goddess's Snowflake'?

• Yes. It contains the miracle of the Goddess. Both my divine power and that of the Chief Priest confirm its authenticity. You can trust it.

• Why would you give me such a precious thing?

• Based on my research, you need funds for your business. Aren't you planning a fur business?

• Yes, but...

• Do you know what the most important thing in noble business is?

• Well...

• 'Reputation.' Nobles care more about who they buy from and how they buy it than what they actually purchase.

It was a plausible argument.

• And this powder will bring you that 'reputation.' So, what do you think?@@novelbin@@

• But why are you giving me this opportunity?

• No particular reason. Firstly, it's the will of the Goddess. Secondly, pure goodwill. Thirdly, a bit of favor in return.
