  Eisenmarkt’s one-time instructor, John Drew, had taught numerous clients swordsmanship.

  A rural young man who didn’t know about the ‘sword’ in swordsmanship had heard about him.

  A nobleman who said he would do anything to win the title had heard about him.

  Even an elderly person from a wealthy family who wanted to learn sword as a hobby had also heard about him.

  Countless people talked about his work and the money he had.

  How long?

  How much can I afford?

  He asked such questions, sometimes directly and sometimes indirectly and pulled out the maximum amount he could.

  That was John Drew’s way of negotiating.

  Shhh!

  Lulu put her hand into the air and pulled out an elephant with an emerald on its forehead.

  And gladly gave it to John Drew.

  The swordsman quietly took it, and the ugly middle-aged man thought.

  ‘I don’t get it, what have I done?’
