What he wishes was to see how they would feel threatened by his words. But what they did was the opposite of what he wanted.
"Have you gone mad or something? You? Oliver Laurent? Hahahahah, Then I am Marco Laurent!"
'Wait, how do they even know who Marco was?'
"Then, then, I am your driver Herald! Hahaha what a fucking weirdo. He is a total crazy person!"
'They even know who Herald was? Just… how did they know that?'
Laughing as they can't stop how happy they are, as soon as their laugh dissipates, Kriston's clothes was pulled closer to them.
"Don't act like a crazy bastard you hear me?!"
Someone's phone suddenly vibrates. It was thanks to that why he was freed by those people.
"Yes boss, we are on our way"
Looking at him with a mocking eyes, he points his two fingers in his hands and pointed it to Kriston.
"We will be back. Prepare the payment by then. You hear me?!!"
"Y-yes…"
Flora replied in fright, she then flinched by the banging sound of the door closing.
"…"
"Hah… they are gone at last…"
Sitting down on the chair, it was indeed a big fright for her.
"Kriston, thank you and sorry… "
"…"
"Kriston?"
Calling his attention, the man who was staring at the air heard her and came back to his senses.
"Kriston are you alright?"
"Flora… why do they know who Oliver is… even Herald and Marco…"
Looking at him, she tilted her head in confusion.
"Actually, I was also surprised when you say that you are Oliver Laurent… because that is impossible"
'Indeed, whi would even believe that this original owner of this body was Oliver Laurent… but if they recognize him then maybe we are in the same world!'
"Flora, do you know where can I meet him?"
"Umm…"
Scratching her head, she awkwardly say
"You… see… wait here and I will pick up something"
Full of questions on his mind, he waited patiently as Flora pick up something. Giving him a piece of paper, it was like a map.
"Follow that and you will see a shop"
"A shop? Oliver is in that shop? Why?"
Frowning his head he can't help but think why was a map given to him. But as soon as he follow the direction, right in front of his eyes, his questions were answered.
Numbers of stuff toys, posters, and any other merchandise welcomed his eyes as he stand outside the said shop.
"Why do they look like me and the others? Even Ana and Lem was there… what is happening?"
"Hey! Who are you? Shoo! Don't go hanging around in my shop if you are not going to buy!"
An old man with a thin body shouted as he touches his long beard.
"Wearing that clothes you surely can't buy something like this, Tch what a waste of time"
Closing his door, he heard the bell chimes from the top of the store.
"Mom! Look it was Gizi! Buy me one please mom!"
"Alright alright, since you aced your exam then this will be your reward"
"Yey! Thanks mom!"
Not even having the time to ear what was around him, Kriston was overwhelmed by what he saw. To see himself as Oliver have his very own figurine and posters… "Bastard of the Laurent" that was written on the poster.
Taking a step backward, he didn't notice the car that almost hit him.
"Hey hey!" a loud shout echoed on his ear as someone pull him out of that place.
"You almost get hit back there. Are you trying to kill yourself??"
There was a fat man speaking in front of him. A well clothed guy who have necklace that was made of gold. Looking at him, he tilted his head and wave his hands.
"Hey, hey, are you alright?"
With a bright smile that replied Kriston's frown, he offer his hand and introduce himself.
"I am Fatimo Achiello. Nice to meet you! Um, are you free today? If you work for me as my guard I will pay you. I was really desperate in looking for a guard… the one I supposed to bring with got cough and cold… it would be bad if I still let him go with me, right? So, would you like to be my guard? Just for today?"
Pointing himself, Kriston can't understand why of all people it was him who he talked to. But the one he was now have no money at all. Money is important for someone to survive.
"Alright… but are you sure about me?"
"Yes, everyone looks like they will not accept my offer and two is better than one, right?"
'I still have lots of things I want to know about this world. On why is my figure in that shop… what exactly is this place? From a CEO to a merchants guard, I think that it is not half bad… I should squeeze every information I can gain with him. And as for sister therese… I need to collect money to pay her debts… hah… Kriston…. Why did you had this kind of life you fuckin idiot!'
"Alright lets go and I will lead the way!"
He happily said as one of his problems are now solved. As a merchant, he needs to have someone to go with him. After all, in any place, if you are alone, you would be the easiest target of robbery.
"Here we are, catch!"
Picking up the clothes that was thrown by Fatimo, he explain everything to Kriston.
"That may be a bit bigger but that will be better than nothing, right? There is also a wet towel right there, clean your face. At exactly noon, we will depart. You just have to go with me and alert my surroundings as I drive. Be attentive and tell me if someone was following us, okay?"
"Yes…"
"And you can call me Fatty or Mr. Fatty if you like. How should I call you by the way?"
"You can call me Kriston…"
"Alright Kriston, off set we go!"
.
.
.
"Boss, that fatty still had a guard with him but he doesn't look so tough. Shall we proceed with our plan?"
[If you think that he is just a little ant then go. We need those materials as soon as possible. Don't waste the bribe I gave to divert the attention of those patrols. You must rob them swept clean. You hear me?]
"Yes boss!"
