Overpower Manager

Chapter 21's

"What's really going on in this place?"

When I managed to corner Endy along with some of her bodyguards that had mostly been successfully overcome, I found another middle-aged man emerging from the same door where I entered this room.

His face was completely different from the fat man before me.

A little older and skinny, then there were many wrinkles on his forehead, as if his mind was filled with many things.

At least this guy has it, for an aura that shows his social standing is higher than mine.

"Dad!"

While Endy started running while looking frantically explaining the situation to the new face ... Hmmmm? Why do I feel like he changed it a little?

"Ho~ is that true, villain? Have you disturbed my son and made a mess in our residence? Well, I'm gonna take this as a serious crime right now."

Well, about the destruction of that room I'm not going to argue with it.

But, hmmm, that would be another story about who started and provoked it first.

"Because he told his subordinates to shoot me with a bow, then I remember afterwards he said to 'Steach the face' or whatever."

When my explanation was much different from what Endy had said, the face of the old man beside her began to worry, while Endy began to look panicked.

"Do you believe in strangers more than your own children?"

Huh, I'm gonna find this a little annoying because she's using family relationships in the debate.

But no problem, after this if the old man still thinks I'm guilty, then maybe I need to give him some things for──

"Well, let's hear some of your stories, son."

"Dad!"

While I was surprised by the words of this man.

"Heh, what? I thought you'd get your bodyguard to arrest me or kill me like he did."

"Ohoho~ I won't be that easy taking someone else's life. And, I don't like violence anyway."

The man chuckled.

"Che, you useless father."

While Rendy looks annoyed with that.

Is it just me who doesn't know? About the reason this old man was suddenly on my side?

Oi, oi, what about what you said earlier about calling my actions a grave crime?

...----------------...

"So so, so that's how it looks? Oh, I just found out."

After I finished hearing my explanation, the man stared intently at someone beside him.

After it was a brutal fight, it is now a tea show? Ugh, aren't they too casual to invite their opponents to drink like this?

The man started talking again after he finished sipping a cup of tea and placed it on the table.

"Like the one in your head. About why I was on your side even though he was my son, well ... Simply put, a similar case had happened before."

"So about the actions of your son who tried to buy a girl after successfully getting them into debt is not the first time?"

Yeah, uhmmm ... Looking at the nature of that person I'm not too surprised by that.

"Ho~ is right, so you're also among the victims?"

The man replied while looking concerned.

If she is like this, I mean kind, affectionate, friendly, and polite. Unlike the child he was wild, brash, and evil.

"You can punish him. I'll never admit she's part of the Zoat family anyway. I was too embarrassed to make the public know I had flesh blood like him. And he's not my real son either."

While me.

"Oi, yes ... Is it okay to tell me your family secrets?"

Not a real child, he said? Then, not recognizing Endy as part of the Zoat family? Then what is the status of Endy now in this family?

"Well, even though I still have one real daughter that I can pass on my power to him. Then, the reason why he called me a father was because of my own carelessness. Back then, I accidentally impregnated someone and got stuck in the accusations──"

I hurriedly stopped this.

"I'm not interested in your story, it's none of my business to know about your family. So, one thing I need to make clear, about your son sending someone to bother me."

"Oh, sure ... Of course I'll punish him."

The old man glanced back at the direction beside him. In the meantime I just cleared my throat before continuing.

"Etto, about someone's debt. I'll pay it off now."

"Well, I'll hear it ..."

The old man smiled before he kept his word.

Well, because I've been involved in this as well. But really, I didn't expect such a small matter to drag me into this big problem.

But it doesn't matter, since Madame Starla specifically asked for my help, then now I have enough of this money.

Umu-umu, if you could say I can do it now, so I intend to take my money and hand over 900 thousand gold on the table.

Meanwhile, two new faces would appear inside the room. Those are the ones I called a while ago.

"Son Kyle, is that true? You pay our entire debt and even return the store?"

I'm shaking my head.

"After I spoke with ... Etto."

I forgot his name, in fact, this old man before me had never introduced himself before.

"Oh, forgive me if it's rude. Even though I was late, I would introduce myself. Aaron Von Zoat, head of the Zoat family."

"So that's what he said."

After the old man said a few things about him, starting from his name was Aaron, then the head of the Zoat Family.

Then, uhmmm, why did I see Mrs Starla and her daughter stiffening for one reason?

"Is he famous enough?"

When I quietly asked Aisha who was standing near me, the girl panicked even more.

"He is a Count. The ruler of this city! Or you could say governor!"

Oh, uh! That makes sense now. And it seems like someone has said that before, but why didn't I realize this earlier?

While Madam Starla and Aisha started to salute like bowing their heads afterwards.

"Well, because everything's in order ..."

"Ho~ is so relaxed that you talk to me even though you already know who I am?"

Yeah, if Count Aaron says it.

"I've met a higher status than you."

Afterwards the Count's face was filled with curiosity before resembling an "O" shape".

Ee~ I'm serious about that, you know? I can't say that all I ever met was a goddess, and I won't say it.

"By the way about this, can we continue the previous conversation?"

"Oh, of course."
