‘I can’t spend the money of the commerce group in vain, even if this is Earl Gang Hyeonu.’
Jerry felt burdened as Hyeonu stared at him silently, but he couldn’t spend money just because of this. He had to be careful when thinking about the staff of the Goldberg Group and their family members.
“Um... I think I need to hear the exact story before I can answer. No matter what you say... Please understand that I have many families relying on me, so I can’t invest money casually,” Jerry said.
“No, it is my mistake for not explaining it properly.” Hyeonu shook his head.
‘It would be weird to invest right after hearing my words.’
It was clear that anyone would react this way, not just Jerry. Hyeonu’s words were that short earlier.
“Sooner or later, something great will happen in Phinis. A crazy number of adventurers are going to come here. There is one thing related to that great matter—the magic power recovery potions,” Hyeonu explained the current situation to Jerry. It was a proposal to attract investment money.
“Does that mean the price of magic power potions will go up?” Jerry still looked like he didn’t really get it.
“Yes, it will rise unconditionally. I have already spent 1.7 million gold on the magic power potions. I want to give you a chance because you made a significant contribution to Phinis by coming here. It is a gift.” Hyeonu spoke like he was being kind.
After hearing it, Jerry felt conflicted. ‘The earl has invested 1.7 million gold...’
Didn’t this mean it was reliable information? Jerry felt there was a need to think about it and asked, “Can I think about it for a moment, Earl?”
“Of course. You don’t have to do it if you don’t want to. I’m not forcing you.” Hyeonu nodded. It was very satisfying for Hyeonu to see that Jerry was cautious.
‘The more capable he is, the better.’
Jerry’s abilities would have a significant impact on Phinis’ development.
‘By the way, why isn’t Leon Meyer coming?’ Hyeonu frowned. It was Leon Meyer who said he would be back in no time when he received the signed paper, yet he still hadn’t returned. Nor had Hyeonu received any news from Leon Meyer.
“Earl, I have decided.” Hyeonu’s thoughts lasted up to here though because Jerry had finished thinking and started talking to Hyeonu again.
“Really? What are you going to do?” Hyeonu asked.
“I’ll join you. How much do I need to buy?”
“It is okay to buy intermediate or higher magic power potions within a reasonable extent. The prices will rise quickly. The money you invest will be recovered in a week.” Hyeonu was confident about this. Once the demon world movement magic circle was installed and revealed on his stream, the price of magic power recovery potions would shoot through the roof like stocks hitting the upper limit.
“Earl, I will go to buy the potions now then.” Jerry hurriedly bowed to Hyeonu and left. The left-behind Johnny quickly followed Jerry because he was afraid Hyeonu would make him talk.
“Did something happen with the two of them?” Hyeonu didn’t know this and cocked his head in a confused manner.

“Sorry, it took a while to convince them.” Leon Meyer showed up an hour later. His face was red, and his forehead was covered with sweat. He looked like he had been very busy.
“Did you go and vomit? Your face is a mess.” Hyeonu pointed out this fact.
Leon Meyer clenched his fists with a frown and said, “It was very hard to persuade those idle guys, but I did it. Why? So I can also be idle.”
Upon saying that, Leon Meyer’s face became a bit brighter. He imagined himself sleeping to his heart’s content in a deep cave that no one touched. It was a fantastic life where he could wake up whenever he wanted and eat whenever he wished.
“Where can I install the magic circle?” He asked. Leon Meyer wanted to rest as soon as possible. Once the magic circle was set up and proven to be fine, he would no longer have to guard the crack.
“You can install it in the center of the square over there. It has to be used by a lot of adventurers.” Hyeonu pointed to the square in the distance. The square was in the center of the four divided areas.
“Additionally... you know that a lot of magic power is needed to start the magic circle, right? I did it myself, but... I can’t do that with the magic circle here. The adventurers have to inject their own magic power to trigger it,” Leon Meyer explained. When Hyeonu heard that, he smiled brightly and barely suppressed his laughter that wanted to burst out.
‘As expected...’
This was what Hyeonu had been hoping for.
“I understand. I will have the adventurers come together and inject their own magic power,” Hyeonu stated, cutting off Leon Meyer before he could say anything else.
“Then I’m glad. It saves me from the hassle.” Leon Meyer took a step toward the square.
“You can make it over there.” Hyeonu pointed to an area of the ground at the center of the square. The grass was growing evenly there.
“Understood.” Leon Meyer nodded and threw a small stone toward that spot. Then he reached out both hands toward the stone, and a tremendous amount of magic power emerged from Leon Meyer’s entire body. The sticky magic power started to be absorbed by the stone. Simultaneously, the stone turned black and poured out unidentified shapes and texts.
“What is this?”
“What is going on?”
Naturally, the eyes of the people in the area were attracted to it. The players and NPCs alike turned their heads toward the light pouring from the square.
‘I will have to reveal it on my stream tomorrow.’ Hyeonu shook his head at the magic circle’s imprinting process, which was more spectacular than he had expected. At this rate, it wouldn’t be a surprise public reveal. This incident might soon be all over the communities.
[-The unidentified black light in Phinis, the territory of Alley Leader!]
‘That is roughly enough.’
It was clear that the various speculations would be amusing. No one would know that light was actually a magic circle that would allow one to move to the demon world. Eventually, the black light faded, revealing the numerous shapes and characters carved on the grassy ground.
“The magic circle is completely in place. Now you can use it the moment you inject your magic power,” Leon Meyer said with a slightly tired face. Even though he was a dragon, it was hard for him to build such a magic circle.
