Summoners War: Only I Summoned Divine Beasts

"Anyway, that's all about the interrogation. I'm sure you're satisfied with this amount of information, right?" Nathan asked while squinting his eyes.

Sullivan smiled. "It's beyond my imagination. To think that you would be able to get that much information from a single person. I wonder if our people are incompetent or if you're just abnormal."

Nathan shrugged. "Anyway, I have told you about the information. Now it's time for you to pay up."

"…" Sullivan's eyebrows twitched. He said, "Come on. We are currently conducting a large scale of research for the medicine that can help those who are affected. You simply can't ask for more money, can you? Please be more considerate."

"It's your role as the guardian to help them. My role is to kill them." Nathan shook his head.

"How about exchanging information?"

"Do you have information that is worth exchanging?"

Sullivan raised his finger but soon lowered it down. Now that he thought about it, most of his information came from either the medicine research or Nathan.

"This…" Sullivan scratched the back of his head.

"I don't mind giving you a discount."

"Hoh? What do you want?" Sullivan squinted his eyes.

"After the fight against Alavenya, I'm sure that Count Ashton will do something."

"Assuming you win, then yes. But are you sure you can win? Alavenya is strong, you know?"

Nathan nodded. "Indeed. Well, I have some assurance. If you can help me take care of the aftermath, I will give you a discount."

"To what extent are you planning to do this?"

"Just stopping them is enough. In the end, I'll leave the revenge part to Selena."

"Alright. I can handle that kind of stuff."

"Great." Nathan raised three fingers. "If we count all that information, it should be worth about 50 mature class cores. If you take care of them, I will give you a twenty-core discount."

"30 mature class cores? Are you serious? It's too expensive. You're already overcharging your information."

"You can't interrogate people like I do to get all that information. Even if you have them, I won't be helping you." Nathan smirked.

Sullivan's eyebrows twitched. "Lower it a bit more."

"31 cores."

Sullivan gritted his teeth. "You know, I can just make your life much harder, right?"

"You won't do it." Nathan casually shook his head. "If you're able to do that, I can do the exact same thing."

"How about I beat you up here?"

"Let's see what the world will do because of that."

Sullivan pinched the bridge of his nose. He finally understood the reason for Alavenya's anger. The Dragon King must have been scammed like this.

Sullivan took a deep breath before saying, "0 core."

Nathan crossed his arms.

"If you also promise that you will help with the interrogation if we end up catching the enemy, especially a high-ranking enemy, let's say I owe you a favor."

Nathan's expression brightened. He had never thought Sullivan would actually give him a favor.

Both of them should know what a favor meant. If he could call for Sullivan's help in the future, it was worth over 50 cores. The interrogation would also mean he got some information, so it didn't really matter.

That was why Nathan immediately said, "Why don't you say that since the beginning? Fine. I promise."

"You…" Sullivan clenched his fists, wanting to grind Nathan's head out of frustration.

"However, this also means I won't be taking care of your mess after the fight… Then again, I don't think it'll matter. Flora seems to have moved a few people in order to protect your parents. I'm pretty sure she is also watching Selena's family."

Nathan nodded. "Alright."

"If you have anyone to interrogate, you can call me. However, I'm not going to help you interrogate a hundred people, you know."

"Eh?" Sullivan looked as if he had been wronged.

"Stop acting. Both of us know it's not going to happen. Do you think I'm that free?"

Sullivan let out a long sigh. "So, are you going to swallow all those cores if you ever get them from me?"

"Not really. Both Sera and Selena are about to summon their fourth familiars. I don't have to worry about Sera, but Selena was different."

"I see." Sullivan nodded in understanding. "Fine. Go away. I don't want to talk to you anymore today. Just enjoy your banquet, whatever… You really annoy me."

"Hehe." Nathan smirked and waved his hand while walking out of the room. "Understood. Thank you very much, Principal."

While looking at the door, Sullivan gritted his teeth. "Seriously. What's wrong with that guy…"

Sullivan ended up becoming another prey after the Dragon King. Unfortunately, he couldn't really beat him up, unlike the Dragon King.

Nathan, on the other hand, was humming happily.

Now that everything had been settled, it was time for the banquet.

…

A few days later.

"Young Master. Make sure you have a dance with them. It's very important, you know? Also, don't forget to compliment them." Alisha was fixing Nathan's tie.

"I know." Nathan nodded. "This should be enough, right? I don't really like wearing formal clothes. They're uncomfortable."

"Well, it should be enough." Alisha took a step back, examining Nathan from the top to the bottom. "It's time for you to go."

"Thanks, Alisha." Nathan rushed out of the room, heading to his own room where Selena and Sera were.

He was kicked out of the room because they wanted to surprise him. Still, they would go to the banquet hall together.

That was why he immediately headed back to his room. He carefully knocked on the door, asking, "Selena. Sera. Are you guys done?"

"Yeah. We're done." Sera replied out loud.

Nathan was a bit excited, wondering how they looked.

It was there when the crackling sound of the door opening echoed.

"We're here. Let's go…" Sera came out while waving her hand cheerfully. Selena, on the other hand, looked shy despite her being a noble and often attending a banquet. After all, this time, she was coming with her own partner.

Nathan turned around as he was going to escort them to the banquet hall. And that was when he saw a sight that took his breath away.
