The Imbecile Lord Is Married to Five Beautiful Goddess-Novel

Alex sat on the couch while Horm stood in front of him and sweated profusely.

Alex's stare seems to dig holes into his body.

And sadly, he wasn't the only one.

Besides him, many stood while lowering their heads.

At the side, Zach stood with an anxious expression.

After his hearty talk, Zach let Alex reside in the Presidential which can only be accessed with Yvonne's permission.

His men had also been accommodated with a nice place to stay.

Since he was here Alex decided to take the matter into his hands and tie the loose ends here.

Alex asked Zach to check all the transactions and deals that had been going through recently.

As Alex inquired about the profit ratio, Zach said the highest profit they have taken was 60% so why the hell was he asked to give 90%?

In the investigation, the things that were discovered weren't something that could be ignored easily.

Alex rotated his gaze on the group of people and asked"Do you think the money of Lockheart's merchant group was something that your family left for you."

"Do you think this group was founded by your parents where you can do what you please? It seems to me that the arrogance of working here has gone over your head ."

"Tras..N, even trash has more value than you all."

"You force people to sign a deal to give them 80% of their profit and out of which, you were bold enough to take a major chunk into your account."

"Assholes, tell me. Just where the hell did you get the courage?"Alex roared in anger which shook the entire place.

"Sir, sorry to interrupt you?"The man beside Zach spoke with a trembling voice.

Alex looked at Syn who was Zach's assistant and asked him to speak.

Syn glared at the group of fugitives and spoke"Sir, it seems that these people not only hoarded a major chunk of money but also took over the business in their name using the Lockheart's money."

Zach's expression hardened as soon as he heard this. He felt Alex's prickly stare which further caused him to lower his head in fear.

He felt that he was really an incompetent person.

The atmosphere froze and except for the sound of breathing everything seemed to cease for a moment.

Alex's face distorted with extreme annoyance.

Horm and the men around him were suddenly assaulted by suffocating pressure.

Horm, who knew what was going on, suddenly fell onto his knees and begged: "Please forgive me, Sir."

"I swear in the name of Goddess that I will give back every penny I have taken. Please spare this worthless bug life."

"Good you are lucky enough to understand your fault," Alex spoke with a smile.

"But don't you think it's too late? Moreover, if I forgive you what will I say to Madam Yvonne who had appointed me to deal with cockroaches like you?"

"Hey, you don't touch me. I work under a noble.No matter how strong you are, you can't touch the people of nobles."

Alex raised his brows and stared at the man.

"Hahaha!"

"What happened? Are you regretting it now? All the money is taken by the noble? You should be happy to donate all of this to a noble cause."

"Hahaha! Just touch me if you dare.."

"Touch me.."

BOOM!

The man's body burst apart making the blood and pieces of meat scattered all around.

"Ahh!"

"!"

The others were horrified and fell onto their knees with a bewildered looks. Strength left their body seeing the man standing beside them killed like a fly.

As all of them looked at the place where the man barking crazily stood, they heard his voice.

"It's better to get rid of a crazy dog before it bites you."

"Mikado was inspecting an artifact but something went wrong and it exploded killing him. All the people here are witnesses."

"Isn't it?" Alex asked with a sinister smile that sent shivers down the spine of everyone who spoke.

"Do you agree with me or are there more people who want to die by an unknown artifact explosion?"

The body of the people on the floor jerked as they saw the blood on their clothes and looked at the man who was smiling happily as if it was nothing to him.

Even Zach was perplexed. His heart was beating fast in fear that the demon might kill him for real if he pissed him.

At that time one was able to calm himself and shouted"Yeah, that person died of an unfortunate event."

"I have witnessed with my very own eyes that the artifact exploded due to improper handling."

"Wow!"

"Quick Witted Guy!"

"I like you."

Alex clapped for the man's worthy performance.

"Now, all of you."

Alex spoke and raised his left hand.

Syn stepped forward and handed him a pile of papers.

Alex held it and threw it forward.

As if being controlled, the paper flew and landed before everyone in an orderly manner.

"I will give you a chance."

"Sign it and 80% of all your property consisting of lands, business and houses would now belong to Lockheart's."

"Don't think that the 20% are free. For the sake of keeping the remaining wealth, I want detailed evidence of the shady transaction you have with the nobles."

"Do you get it?"

The people's voices quieted down and they looked at Alex with inexplicable expressions.

All of them wanted to refute but they could feel a sword hanging upon their head. Just a single word might send them to the afterlife now.

Noticing their dilemma, Alex decided to give them a final push.

"There is also another offer."

"Keep 20% and give the details about the noble or keep 100% and just do what I say."

"We can keep all our things."

"What do you want me to do?"

"I swear on my name, I will do anything you want."

All their eyes shone with greed and they tried to catch the last string of hope.

The task may be hard but at least they would be able to keep all their hard-earned pennies.

"KukkkK!"

Alex burst into laughter seeing the pathetic piece of trash.

Some people don't change no matter how many chances are given to them.

"I like your guts and courage."

"You have made me happy."

"You can keep all your money but for that.."

"You need to die assholes."

Alex's words struck like thunder in their ears waking up from their sweet dreams.

Words choked in their throat and their eyes became hollow with a sense of dreariness.

Zach who stood on the side felt his heart skip a beat after witnessing the scene.

'Demon...He is worse than a demon. He is way more fearful than the rumors describe.'

'I should make sure that I don't get on his bad side.'

"We will take the previous deal. We will do as you say but don't kill us."

Alex's lips curled upward with an amused expression and he agreed to their words.

The people sighed in relief thinking that they were able to save themselves but little did they know, they had just stepped into a huge trap.
