The Great Wish - Chapter 6.5

Vol.1 Chapter 6 Part 5 

She had believed that there would be no reason to see him again, but the leader of Kaligo had unexpectedly paid her a visit. Even though she was trembling inside, she put on a friendly smile. 

"You came alone today." 

"What? Do I seem more manageable to you when I'm alone?" 

Kuhn was being overbearing on purpose. These kinds of people had a tendency to walk all over you if you showed them any weakness. 

'What a jerk.' 

Evita refrained from cursing. 

'Ah, it's making my blood boil.' 

In this dirty world, the customer was king. There was a time when Olga had dominated this world. However, this glory was all in the past. Instead of grabbing the back of her neck, Evita smiled brightly at her honored guest. 

"You're quite defensive. There's no need. We know we won't come out alive if we wrong the Kaligo name. We're not that reckless." 

Every rose had its thorns. When it came to looks, he was definitely her type, but she didn't like rough men. 

"Was there a problem with what we sold you last time?" 

"No, there was nothing wrong." 

"Then why are you so angry?" 

"Angry? Nobody has seen me angry before." 

"Ah... You're quite skilled at controlling your emotions then." 

"What I mean is... Anyone who has seen me angry is no longer alive." 

"..." 

She added another description to the list. 

Crazy lunatic. 

"Why are you here?" 

Because his words were curt and rude, Evita's voice lost its grace as well. 

"It's about entering the Imperial Palace." 

"Do you need an entrance pass?" 

"Not me. You." 

What in the world was he talking about? 

"Why do I need to enter the Palace?" 

"You've heard that the Princess has recently been promoted to Silver King after the coronation, right? She wants to buy some information. I recommended you, so go and do well." 

According to who? Olga was a shady organization. They needed to be as far away as possible from the nobility. But this man wanted her to go to the Imperial Palace? To meet a member of the Imperial family? 

"Now, listen here. It seems that you've misunderstood something, but Olga isn't your subordinate. The Imperial Palace? If you think you're scaring us by saying that, you're mistaken." 

"I thought you were looking for work. I don't think you're in a position to be picky." 

"Work is work. Historically and traditionally, Olga has been an organization that existed in the lowest parts of the empire. If you think we'll just accept the 'honor' of becoming an agency under the Imperial family..." 

As Evita was raising her voice and even shaking her finger at Kuhn, her eyes widened when he threw her a large diamond. 

"W...We'll do anything for money!" 

Another diamond came flying at her. Evita kowtowed to the floor. 

"We'll do it. Whatever it is, we'll do it. Just say the word." 

The organization's financial situation was currently taking its last breaths. No matter how much they tried, they were always running out of money. How had Olga, which had once dominated this space, come to this state? The man crossed his legs and chuckled. She wanted to scratch that handsome face of his and leave ten red scars running down his cheeks. 

However, the life of the head of a large family was tough. Evita shed tears of blood on the inside, but she smiled brightly on the outside. 

"All you have to do is answer all the questions that the Silver King asks of you. Don't do something strange inside the Imperial Palace and get imprisoned." 

"I'll make sure to pick an excellent person to send inside." 

"No. You do it." 

"What? Listen here! I'm the master of Olga. And you're telling me to go inside the Imperial Palace?" 

"Yeah. What, you can't do it?" 

As the man asked back with a blank expression, Evita felt that it was a lot more terrifying than an actual threat. 

"I'm not saying I can't... But I'll need more compensation for my troubles..." 

Another jewel rolled towards her, and Evita quickly snatched it into her hands. She now realized that she was going to have to enter a den of snakes. 

"And what do I need to do? Do you want me to tell you what kind of information she's looking for?" 

"You're not going in there as a spy. You don't even have to tell her that you're from Olga. Make up an identity if you want. Just go and answer anything she might be wondering about." 

"And what if she asks me something I don't know?" 

"Do I need to tell you what to do word for word? Is this the first time you've done business?" 

Ugh. Evita bit her lips instead of flying into a rage. She was a beauty. Men were supposed to be kind to beauties. She had never met a man who had upset her this much before. 

"Is there something I should be careful of?" 

"Don't talk about me. The Silver King will compensate you separately. You may take whatever she gives you." 

There was going to be even more money. Evita's boiling heart settled somewhat. 

"If I enter the Palace and something happens, you'll help me, right?" 

"Why should I?" 

Evita tried her best to smile as she trembled. 

Son of a bitch.
