The fact that Cash was a princess was revealed, but Amon’s party remained quiet.
Well, it was because they were still inside the chairman’s office.
Amon and the party members tried to keep their expressions in check as they looked at Cash.
The chairman, sensing the atmosphere, wrapped up the negotiations.
“Let’s end the conversation here. It seems like you have a lot to talk about with your friends. You can leave now.”
The chairman, saying he still had things to discuss with the board, dismissed only Amon’s party.
Amon’s party calmly, yet somewhat hurriedly, left the room.
The party exited and closed the chairman’s office door.
Only after they were a considerable distance from the office did the party let out a quiet scream.
“Hey…! You were a lady?!”
“A lady? She’s a princess!”
[No wonder her actions were so elegant.]
“Cash, I’m sorry! I apologize for all the rudeness until now! Please spare my life!”
“Uh… Cash. Did I say anything wrong until now?”
They realized for the first time that whispers and screams could coexist.
Seeing them whispering in shock, Cash also seemed quite flustered.
“Huh? Huh?”
The ones who should be flustered were Amon and his party, but since Cash was also flustered, Amon regained his composure first.
Amon asked Cash.
“What’s with that reaction?”
“No, um… don’t you have anything else to say?”
“Like what?”
“Why did you hide it until now…”
“You didn’t ask, so I didn’t tell.”
“Did you deceive us…”
“What did I deceive you about?”
“You know, like…”
Cash hesitated and then spoke.
“It’s a bit awkward for me to say directly… but you know, like, I wanted to play mercenary and deceived you all this time…”
“Huh?”
Amon made a dumbfounded expression.
“Hey. We bled together, ate together, slept in the same dungeon, and you still think there’s a lack of trust? Who else should we trust?”
The reactions of the other party members were the same.
They didn’t doubt or fear Cash at all.
There was no trace of distrust or betrayal in their eyes.
Just surprise.
Like when you hear that the owner of your favorite store is from a prestigious university, that level of surprise.
Cash asked them just in case.
“You know our company is a megacorp, right?”
“It’s all over the internet, of course we know.”
“Then why the reaction?”
“Why? Should we kneel and say ‘Oh my glorious princess’ now?”
“No, it’s not that I want that…”
“Then it’s fine. Let’s hurry down. This place is uncomfortable.”
Amon joked.
The other party members also smiled and urged her.
Only then did she realize her misconception.
These party members weren’t the type to distance themselves from her over such a secret.
In fact, judging by their past confessions, they were the type to not fear Cash.
The Water Buffalo Tanker who dishonorably discharged after turning the chairman’s only son, who was trying to massacre civilians for fun during the European war, into mincemeat.
The Mute Sniper from Israeli intelligence who made his superior, who was trying to fund the war by distributing drugs to civilians, a eunuch and resigned.
The Ogre who blew up his own company’s lab, which was trying to experiment with biochemical weapons in South America, under the guise of an accident and laundered his identity.
The Bisexual Mage who pulled out all the hair of a professor trying to conduct human experiments on minors with telekinesis and left graduate school.
And finally, Amon, who is hard to describe in one sentence.
Thinking about it, they weren’t the type to be intimidated by a corporate figure.
Seeing her unchanged comrades, Cash’s expression softened.
“Thank you, everyone.”
“Thank you? What’s the big deal about a megacorp? If we want, we can turn you into a commoner.”
“?”
At Amon’s words, everyone’s gaze turned to him.
Amon raised both hands and said.
“Just kidding. What if you take that seriously? It’s not like I’ve ever taken down a megacorp.”
At his words, the party members nodded.
“You could totally do that though.”
[It’s possible, right?]
“You seem like the type to destroy something while shouting ‘Amen’ for messing with your faith!”
“Honestly… I think Mr. Amon could do that and more…”
Amon’s face stiffened as he turned to Cash.
“What about you?”
Seeing that, Cash burst out laughing.
“Look at your track record.”
“No. Why!”
Amon’s quiet protest continued until the elevator arrived.
*
The elevator arrived, and on the way back down to the lobby.
Even with six people, there was plenty of space, and Amon and his comrades didn’t stop talking.
“What are we eating for lunch? Hey, Cash. Is there anywhere good around here?”
“This is a corporate plaza. Usually, ladies would be active in the eastern residential area.”
The Water Buffalo Tanker answered Amon’s question.
Still, Amon didn’t give up.
“But you know, like, dad’s workplace experience. You must have come here a few times.”
At Amon’s words, everyone’s gaze turned to Cash.
Under their gaze, she smiled and answered.
“I know a restaurant. Let’s eat there.”
“It’s not fine dining, right?”
“How can I take you guys to fine dining? You need reservations for that kind of place.”
“Okay. We’re emptying Cash’s wallet today.”
“Hey. I’m short on allowance because of my equipment.”
“Ah. Lady. You’re stingy. It’s not like we’ll eat that much.”
“You’re not one to talk, spending 50 dollars at the mercenary agency cafeteria.”
“Ah. My ability consumes a lot of stamina.”
“Sigh… I’ll teach you the minimum table manners before we go, so follow that.”
“Wow. Table manners? Cash, you’re creating distance.”
“I can’t even say anything.”
While Amon joked, they arrived at the lobby.
As they passed through the lobby, the security and other employees’ eyes were drawn to them.
While everyone was in suits, Amon’s party was dressed in a way that clearly said, “I’m a mercenary.”
But seeing Cash at the front, no one stopped or ignored them.
‘They must be the lady’s friends.’
‘Are they here for some deal?’
Even among the lower-level employees who didn’t know Cash’s face, no one picked a fight with them.
If you had even a little social life, you could tell that they weren’t the type to mess with, given how the seniors and superiors were watching.
Thus, they headed to the company’s exit without any hindrance.
But just before they pushed the glass door, a group of suited men blocked their way.
Question marks appeared above the party members’ heads.
Cash, who had been smiling brightly at the thought of taking her comrades to the restaurant, darkened.
Before they could ask why, the group parted, and a man approached them.
“Long time no see, Cash.”
“Owen oppa.”
The man she called oppa didn’t look pleased to see her.
Her expression, to put it mildly, was not good.
If interpreted, it was a mix of disgust, anger, and fear.
Amon looked up at Owen.
He wasn’t as big as the Water Buffalo Tanker, but he was tall, around 190 cm.
The way he slightly lifted his chin to look down at her and Amon was annoying.
His words were as annoying as his actions.
“Cash. Stop playing in the dirt and come home.”
“Shut up. Dad’s retirement is like 80 years away. Besides, I’m not interested in the chairman’s position.”
“Father has chosen you.”
“Well, I’m not interested.”
“You need to start training now to even reach father’s feet. I’m trying to support you.”
“Then you do it. You’re more capable than me.”
“That won’t do. Cash. Clearly, mother said so, and the revelation said it would be so. Our family must follow her words…”
That’s when it happened.
A murderous aura erupted from Cash, pressing down on everyone there.
Cash, the source of the aura, lowered her head, making her expression hard to see.
She spoke in a voice that seemed to scratch her throat.
“Don’t… mention… that woman in front of me. Or that fraud’s story…”
“Fraud? That’s a revelation.”
“Oppa. I warned you.”
Her hand moved to her back.
On her back was a collapsible spear.
Owen’s bodyguards tensed, reaching for their weapons.
The security guards watching from a distance lowered their stance, ready to intervene at any moment.
A tense situation.
Cash whispered as if delivering a final warning.
“Don’t force your faith on others, oppa.”
“Cash. What are you talking about.”
“If you want to evangelize, you should become heaven and approach that person, not drag them to heaven and lock them up.”
“Cash. We have a duty to spread mother’s words to others.”
“Duty, my foot. Since we’re on the topic, if you’re going to spread something, spread the right thing. What you and that woman believe is a cult. Get a grip.”
“Cash.”
“Don’t introduce that beggar priest to my friend.”
“Cash! The revelation has always been right! It’s a real revelation!”
“Revelation, my foot! I’ve told you several times, that’s your ability!”
Thud!
Owen stomped his foot.
The entrance floor cracked, and the metal detector lit up red.
The two’s auras clashed, as if they were about to pounce on each other.
At that moment, Amon grabbed Cash’s hand.
“Huh!?”
“Hello, Owen hyung.”
At Amon’s sudden interjection, Owen’s eyebrow twitched.
“Hyung?”
“Ah, I was late to introduce myself. I’m Amon, Cash’s comrade. Since you’re Cash’s older brother, I called you hyung. Was that rude?”
At his words, Owen’s gaze lowered.
His eyes scanned Amon from head to toe, stopping at Amon’s cross necklace.
Staring intently at the necklace, Owen suddenly changed his attitude.
Owen spoke to Amon in a friendly voice.
“Ah, sorry. I thought you were a mercenary Cash hired, but you’re a comrade. I didn’t mean to be rude by not greeting you.”
Of course, only his voice was friendly; the content was anything but.
At first glance, it seemed like he was admitting his mistake, but there was a condescending tone towards mercenaries.
But Amon didn’t show any reaction.
In Amon’s eyes, the average mercenary’s personality deserved such a gaze.
Amon, who believed in doing well himself, was unfazed.
“No, it’s fine. I was late to introduce myself.”
“Alright. By the way, are you a believer?”
“Yes. I attend church.”
“Huh. A rare believer in this world.”
“I think this world needs the word.”
“I agree. I’m also a believer.”
Owen rolled up his sleeve to show a cross tattoo.
Seeing this, Cash’s eyebrow twitched.
Amon, with an unreadable expression, admired the tattoo.
“That’s a cool tattoo.”
“You recognize it. Cash has a good friend.”
“Haha. I also think meeting Cash is the grace of the goddess.”
Somehow, the conversation’s protagonist shifted from Cash to Amon.
Amon and Owen naturally moved aside from the entrance and sat in the reception area on the ground floor to continue their conversation.
Most of the conversation was about faith.
How they lived their daily lives according to certain words.
While talking, Owen showed a devotion not unlike Amon’s.
But Cash’s expression wasn’t good.
Then, Amon brought up a slightly sensitive topic.
“Come to think of it, you mentioned a revelation earlier.”
“Ah, are you interested?”
Owen’s face lit up.
In contrast, Cash looked horrified and tried to stop Amon.
Amon placed his hand on Cash’s thigh to calm her.
‘Just watch.’
He sent a look with that meaning.
Meanwhile, Owen passionately preached about the achievements of the revelation.
“The first time was when I was 15.”
A priest introduced by his mother taught him how to see revelations, and he followed the revelation to make an investment.
And he hit the jackpot.
Since then, he followed the revelations and succeeded every time. Before he knew it, Owen was recognized in the company not as the chairman’s son but as an investment genius.
From then on, Owen started attending church diligently. Even after his mother donated money to the church and divorced his father, Owen didn’t stop going to church.
“Father allowed it.”
Unlike his mother, who tried to donate not only his father’s money but also the company’s money, Owen brought profits to the company and donated only a portion of his salary.
So the chairman thought it was better than spending it on alcohol and cigarettes and tolerated Owen’s religious activities.
“How about it? Do you want to visit that church with me?”
Owen’s eyes, glowing with madness, met Amon’s.
It was the kind of eyes you’d see in a cult fanatic.
Seeing those eyes, Amon’s comrades shrank back. Cash also looked horrified.
Even Owen’s bodyguards made faces.
But Amon, directly facing those eyes, remained calm.
Amon answered softly in a flat tone.
“Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened to you.”
“?”
“Everything we gain in this world is all thanks to our mother, right? If mother has bestowed grace upon you, then it’s something to be grateful for.”
“That’s right.”
Until then, everyone thought Amon had fallen for Owen.
But at that moment,
Amon’s voice lowered.
“Unless mother said she would no longer spread her will through revelations.”
“Huh?”
Amon’s demeanor changed.
A recitation filled with anger echoed in the room.
“Beware of false prophets. Do people pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Bury their ashes on paths where no one walks. So that only trees beneficial to this world remain.”
Amon’s hand moved towards the ashtray.
As if he was about to chop off a head.
Amon spoke.
“Say it again. Who received the revelation?”
Owen looked into Amon’s eyes.
Only then did he realize something was wrong.
Amon’s eyes weren’t peaceful.
They were peaceful because he had accepted madness as inner peace.
Owen stood up in shock.
“Haha. Sorry. I just remembered I have a meeting in 10 minutes. Sorry, but I’ll take my leave.”
With a dry laugh, Owen left.
The bodyguards followed, giving thumbs up and gestures of appreciation.
Soon, only Amon’s party remained in the reception area.
Only after confirming that the people were far away did Cash sigh and lean on the sofa.
Then she tapped Amon’s shoulder and said.
“Hey, that was satisfying. Your acting was amazing. You could have won Best Actor.”
“Huh? Acting?”
“Reciting Bible verses and all.”
“That was sincere.”
“…? You were really going to hit oppa with the ashtray?”
Cash waved her arm.
Amon nodded.
“Then why did you stop me?”
“….”
Cash was at a loss for words.
The party members whispered behind them.
“Do we have to go to church this weekend?”
[What if we learn it wrong and get hit with that for being false prophets?]
“He might use a knife instead of an ashtray then.”
“I at least have a baptismal name.”
Only after Amon assured them that wouldn’t happen did the party members stop searching for churches on their phones.
