I Will Avoid the Male Lead and Make a Harem

⇺⇺⇺⇼⇻⇻⇻

As Franz boasted, 50 million runa of cash immediately came into my hands.

As soon as the sun went down, I went to the Okeii Auction office with the money.

However.

‘What, here……’

In the bleak drawing room, a single desk was placed.

A man sitting at a desk wearing a rope-like gold necklace struck an unusual pose.

Men dressed like muscle pigs with irons stood guard on either side of the man.

Everyone was wearing masks, but the atmosphere was that of a gangster office.

“What can I do for you?”

The man’s loud voice made me flinch.

The man, like the men on both sides, was wearing a mask, with only his eyes showing.

His hair was tucked into the wide-brimmed hat.

“I’m here to obtain documents pertaining to the transfer of the Movilon mine. Here.”

When I held out the Okeii’s silver badge I received at the auction, the man sitting looked up at me.

‘……huh?’

I was startled when the man’s red eyes met mine in an instant.

‘Those creepy eyes, I’m sure I’ve seen somewhere.’

Where did I come across them?

While I was trying to recall something, the man seemed to recognize me.

I had no intention of hiding my identity from him because my name had to be written in the contract anyway.

But it seemed unfair that only the other person recognized me.

The moment I stared into the man’s red eyes.

“Uh……”

I remember!

‘Is he that person?’

Maximus Clark.

The elite instructor of the Holy Knights!

‘Why is this man here?’

When I arrived at the temple to meet Franz, I had heard that he had led the knights on a penitential pilgrimage march.

‘Oh my goodness, is this the pilgrimage route?’

As I was taken aback, Maximus appeared to be embarrassed as his bright eyes shrunk to the size of a bell.

Working here must have been a secret, judging by his trembling eyes.

Maximus quickly avoided my gaze and filled out the form, as if he sensed my surprise.

‘Is it okay for a public servant to do this as a side job?’

“Though I’ve heard that sometimes rich ladies treat the Holy Knights knights like slaves for the purpose of staying overnight……”

” The burly men who were being auctioned off.

Countless noble ladies were there as if they were familiar with the place.

The suspicious link between the temple and the third-degree financial institutions!

As I began with the Okeii Auction and looked back in time, I discovered an amazing fact.

‘Aha… so this is your primary job, huh?’

Okeii Silver Bank, a third-tier financial company, grew quickly because it had a backup.

‘Perhaps the temple is the true owner.’

Other questions became entangled like threads after learning Maximus’s secret.

‘That’s why he was furious when Valhail left.’

He would have been an ace if he had stayed!

I thought I was finally getting the strange parts of the original work.

I used to be curious as to how Shannon obtained Valhail from the Holy Knights……

I assumed he was sold because they couldn’t deal with him. Because he is disobedient and rebellious. Furthermore, with that personality, he would never go up for auction on his own.

I was astounded to learn about the Holy Knights’ secret life.

“Sign it.”

He handed me the quill pen after finalising the paperwork.

[The auction winner, Selina Crawford, receives the Movilon mine from the seller, Okeii Silver Bank.

The bid amount is 47.5 million runa.]

‘What? But it’s 50 million runa.’

I tried to pretend I didn’t know, but in case there would be a problem arose later, I pointed out the wrong part with my hand.

“The price here is incorrect.”

Then, without saying anything, Maximus pointed to one side of the reception room’s wall.

[Acquaintances get a 5% discount.

Employees should be contacted.]

That’s exactly how it was written.

‘Ah…… He gave me a discount because I was someone he knew.’

Perhaps this person is better than I thought.

“Thank you,” I said as I exited the strange office, impressed by the small service.

After holding the mine transfer contract and register in my hands, my fear disappeared.

‘The mine is now mine. It’s entirely mine!’

The mine full of magic crystals is now under my name!

I’m now a millionaire!

I wanted to yell it over the loudspeaker.
