To Be a Power in the Shadows! Chapter 129

It’s All That Fool’s Fault

Ever since the [Four Leaves] were erased by the Mitsugoshi Company, Gettan has been continuously investigating them.
Once he’s able to identify the organization lurking behind the Mitsugoshi Company, Gettan can then prepare himself accordingly.
“Nothing came up, you say?”
Gettan raised his voice after he heard Garter’s report.
“Y,Yes…”
Garter’s voice is trembling.
“Don’t tell me that you are really going to dismiss them as some ordinary company? Then again, if you’ve investigated this much and nothing has come up, then, it’s natural to think so………”
There were some unnatural points, but no matter how much they investigated, there’s still no smoking gun.
Then there’s no other option but to think of them as normal.
“Well, that’s fine. Since that’s the case, then there’s no need to hold back. Let’s crush them.”
Gettan lifted his mouth.
Finally, this business war would be settled and he can achieve his goal. Or so it was supposed to be.
————–However.
“U,Umm………”
Garter while fearing for his life opened his mouth.
“R, Recently, the products prices have risen and……….”
“The inflation was predicted from the start, right?”
“No, it occured earlier than expected, so we looked into it…………”
“What happened?”
“We’ve discovered counterfeit notes.”
“What?”
Gettan’s small voice echoed through the room.
“Counterfeit notes. We’ve discovered a large amount of them.”
Gettan ground his back teeth.
“A large amount you say? How much?”
“W,We are currently looking into it but, umm , it’s tremendous.”
“Don’t fuck around with me!! If it is circulating that much, why did you take this long to notice it!!”
“Hiii…..P,Please forgive me!”
Garter is trembling while giving excuses to Gettan, who has a menacing look on his face.
“Th, the appearance of the counterfeit notes is almost the same as the genuine one, and as it was distributed little by little, it was hard to……….”
“Shut up!! A massive amount of fake money is circulating!? Do you understand what this will cause?!”
The credit system will collapse and will result in a panic.
The worst-case scenario is being drawn in Gettan’s mind.
“Track down their source immediately!! If you can’t do it, I will cut off your head myself!!”
“Ye,Yes!”
“The matter with the Mitsugoshi Company is on hold…..!”
Under the current circumstances, they can’t afford to take care of the Mitsugoshi Company right now.
When he had this thought, Gettan suddenly noticed it.
‘Don’t tell me it was their doing…..?’
However, he quickly negates that thought.
If the credibility of the Great Trading Alliance collapsed, naturally their credibility would also be damaged.
While the Alliance will collapse first, there’s a strong possibility that the Mitsugoshi Company will also follow.
There is no difference in outcome regardless of who collapses first. Eventually, both of them will fall.
“A counterfeit…………It must be some fool within the Alliance who did this….. I will tear that fool apart, limb from limb.”
“Hii…….!”
“Determine the culprit immediately. You got it? Immediately!——–If you’ve understood, then get started already!!!!!!!”
“Ye,Yes……”
Garter hurriedly ran away from the ogre-like Gettan.
