Jane asked to be introduced to Yareli.

Upon the request, Oliver reflexively glanced over at Yareli, who was seated across from him. How should he introduce her

Just someone I know.

After some contemplation, Oliver replied. Given his mission for the tower, he couldnt provide a more direct answer, so this seemed like an appropriate response.

In any case, Yareli and Oliver were familiar with each other.

Whether the assumption was accurate or not, Jane and Murphy, who overheard the response, had their doubts but refrained from arguing.

It was Yareli who inquired further.

A person you know?

Yes Isnt that correct?

Oliver, perplexed by Yarelis reaction, responded with confusion because he and Yareli were indeed familiar with each other.

However, Yareli displayed an unusually incredulous expression, tinged with a hint of contempt. This was particularly noticeable because she rarely displayed much change in her demeanor.

This awkward silence was accompanied by a palpable sense of discomfort. Murphy whispered softly, breaking the silence.

I think Ive seen this somewhere

Oliver nodded in agreement, experiencing a sense of dj vu.

Ah, thats right. The party.

Oliver recalled a previous encounter when he had taken Jane to a party. There, he had introduced Jane to Murphy as someone he knew, and then

Nice to meet you. My name is Jane.

In an effort to dispel the awkwardness, Jane approached Yareli first and extended her greetings.

Yareli, upon receiving the greeting, assessed Janes attire and then, as if recollecting something, rose from her seat.

Hello. You must be the famous investor from Landa, Ms. Jane? Its a pleasure to meet you.

Recognizing Jane, Yareli greeted her with politeness and proper decorum.

Oliver felt an inexplicable sense of joy witnessing this exchange. It was truly remarkable and a matter of pride that Jane was acknowledged to such an extent, even by someone like Yareli from the tower.

As Yareli and Jane exchanged pleasantries, the previously awkward atmosphere began to dissipate, and naturally, Murphy introduced himself as well.

Hello, Miss. Im Murphy Kimbell, a small trader. Its a pleasure to meet you.Gét latest novel chapters on nov(e)lbj/n(.)c/om

Im also pleased to meet you, Mr. Murphy, who is gaining a reputation as a businessman.

Do you know me?

Murphy asked with curiosity, and rightfully so, considering he was affiliated with a criminal organization as a gang member and earned the nickname Liquor King for his significant involvement in the illicit magic wine trade, amassing considerable wealth in the process.

According to occasional updates from Forrest, Murphys influence and financial power were said to surpass that of an average crime firm executive.

Yes. I also know quite a few people in Galos, and Ive heard about the person who supplies the wonderful liquor that competes with Bloody Wine My introduction is late. I am Yareli Issai of the Skadi Subschool of the Tower. I have come to Galos briefly for some business, and its an honor to meet such esteemed people.

Yareli openly revealed her identity, clearly with some thought behind it.

If you dont mind, may we join you?

***

Yareli suddenly proposed joining their company.

It was an unexpected suggestion, but Oliver, assuming she had her reasons, chose to remain silent and observe for the time being.

Murphy and Jane, equally surprised by the offer, hesitated briefly but seemed to find no objection and accepted Yarelis proposal after a few words.

How could I refuse when I meet someone I know in a foreign place? I would be pleased to sit.

With a playful tone, Murphy took a seat at the table as Yareli had suggested, and Jane followed suit.

Have you ordered yet?

Not yet.

Thats good. Then, shall we order first? Its not much, but as a token of my appreciation for your company, I will take care of it.

Murphy made this offer and then deftly summoned a server to place an order in Galosian.

The fluency and natural pronunciation far exceeded Olivers, who had diligently studied the language.

Oliver was genuinely impressed. Youre amazing, Mr. Murphy. You speak Galosian very well.

Its nothing. I just learned it because trading through an interpreter became too cumbersome.

Did I make a mistake?

As Ive mentioned before, please refrain from including me in that context.

Murphy made it clear with a gesture of refusal, and Janes emotions appeared even more exacerbated than before.

Ah Of course, Miss Jane is also beautiful.

Oh, for heavens sake.

Murphy muttered in astonishment upon hearing Olivers words. It was a reaction of disbelief, yet entirely expected.

Yarelis emotions shifted from bewilderment to annoyance and anger, and Jane, sharing similar sentiments, rested her chin on her hand and stared intently at Oliver.

With a burning desire to open Olivers head and understand his thoughts.

It was undeniably frustrating and unfair. If only he knew why this was happening, things wouldnt be so awkward.

Therefore, Oliver decided to finish what he was saying.

And Mr. Murphy is beautiful too.

Pfft!!

Yareli and Jane, who were staring at Oliver and happened to be sipping water, simultaneously spat it out in a completely unexpected manner.

They were taken aback, and not just them; Murphy was equally stunned.

He quietly exclaimed in shock.

Alright Lets stop this conversation and just eat quietly. Just eat. The food is coming anyway.

***

Yareli and Jane tacitly agreed to Murphys suggestion, and Oliver decided to go along with it.

Everyone at the table was in favor of this.

Oliver respected everyones wishes and quietly consumed his late lunch without saying a word.

The only sound that filled the air was the clinking of utensils.

Just as it appeared that the four might part ways without any conversation, leaving a hint of regret in the air, Murphy, who had finished his meal first, spoke up.

Dave.

Ah, is it okay to talk now?

Murphys face displayed an extreme aversion as he recalled the earlier conversation.

Yes, of course Just please, no more talk about whos beautiful. At least not while Im around,

Understood.

It was a simple request, so Oliver responded promptly.

Relieved by this response, Murphy continued.

Whew Actually, theres something Id like to ask of you. Thats why I suggested joining the table.

Oliver wasnt taken aback. He had sensed such an intention during his prior conversation with Jane before joining the table.

I was going to handle it myself initially, but having met Dave here, I would like to ask for your help May I?

May I ask what the favor is?

Of course. Its something weve already discussed.

Something weve discussed?

Yes. Im planning to negotiate with the Milieu organization, my trading partners, regarding the magic wine trade, and I was wondering if you could stand in as my bodyguard during the negotiation, even for a while? I came prepared, but Im feeling uneasy about doing it on their turf.

It was an unexpected request but not entirely surprising. Oliver contemplated it for a moment but was initially inclined to decline, as he had other commitments.

Im sorry, but-

-If you help me, I will also assist with the work youre doing.
