You want to make me the devil, right?

“Sorry to keep you waiting, Mr. Sean.”

After rinsing her mouth and changing into her nun's habit, Sister Yurisha returned to Sean.

She glanced at the remaining afterglow on the ground, smiled helplessly, and said, "I'm really sorry~ If I could swallow them all…"

“Alright! Don't say anymore!”

Sean quickly stopped her and continued, “We should go up now. We've been here for quite a while.”

“Okay~”

Yurisha nodded slightly and left the basement with Sean.

When they arrived at the monastery's front hall, they found that the three hundred bottles of holy water placed on the wooden table were almost gone.

“Just a few hours, and three hundred bottles of holy water are almost sold out?”

Sean walked to Irene and the others, asking in surprise.

“No~ Mr. Sean~”

Irene smiled and shook her head, at the same time, imitating Yurisha's way of addressing Sean, and said, “This is the third batch~ More than eight hundred bottles of holy water have been sold! A profit of more than four thousand silver coins!”

“How much? Eight hundred?”

Sean's heart leaped with joy when he heard the sales figure.

Although, generally speaking, the first day's sales are the highest, and the following days will gradually decrease.

But this sales volume has far exceeded his expectations!

And!

More than four thousand silver coins!

This sum of money is enough to buy a not-so-small manor in the royal city of the Dawn Empire!

“It seems~ Mr. Sean's holy water is very popular~” Yurisha praised with a smile.

“This is also thanks to the White Rose Chamber of Commerce's publicity channels.” Sean sighed.

If it weren't for the White Rose Chamber of Commerce, there wouldn't be so many customers.

This made him somewhat amazed at how terrifying the White Rose Chamber of Commerce's power really was.

Just less than half a day of promotion, and there were such significant effects.

“Sister Yurisha! Mage Sean! It's me! Mord!”

Suddenly, a person's call caught Sean's attention.

He looked at the other party and found that it was Knight Mord.

Mord's face was bruised and swollen, and he was holding a box in his arms.

“Please come in.”

Yurisha opened the side door and led Knight Mord into the monastery.

After entering the monastery, Knight Mord immediately complained to Yurisha, “Sister Yurisha! Can I return the goods! I don't want to sell your holy water anymore!”

“Did something happen? Knight Mord?” Yurisha quickly asked.

“I don't know either!”

Mord sighed and recounted, “I was selling holy water well in the Knight Academy, but I was beaten up by those senior knights!”

“They even threatened that if they saw me selling this kind of deceptive thing again, they would break my legs!”

“I asked the academy for help, but no one paid any attention to me! It's infuriating!”

Hearing Mord's explanation, Sean immediately understood what Titania had said before.

The so-called, Mord would no longer come to him to buy holy water.

So she had someone beat Mord up!

As for Mord not being able to get the academy's support, it was also very simple.

Mord's business was illegal in the first place, and his family background was only average, so how could he compete with those senior knights?

The academy naturally chose to turn a blind eye, as it's better to avoid trouble.

Sean then said to Mord, “But I heard that you sell a bottle of holy water for eight silver coins at Dawn Academy?”

“No way! Only a few people sell it for eight silver coins! I usually only sell it for six!”

Mord's eyes immediately darted away when Sean exposed him, and then he said, “Moreover, I really did help you promote it! At least half of the apprentice knights who came today are my brothers!”

“Considering this, can you take the holy water back and return the money to me?”

“I want to too! But no one is buying it! Moreover, after being beaten, I always feel like someone is watching me in the dark.” Mord looked around, mysteriously saying, “Once I sell holy water, another group of strong men will appear and smash my head!”

“……”

Sean was silent for a moment, then said to Yurisha, “Take back his holy water, at two and a half silver coins per bottle.”

“Okay~”

“Great! Thank you, Brother Sean!”

Mord quickly thanked Sean.

“Oh! Right!”

He suddenly remembered something and asked Sean, “Brother Sean, did you offend someone at the Knight Academy?”

“Offend someone? No.”

Sean shook his head. He had no connection with anyone from the Knight Academy.

“Then that's really strange.”

Mord scratched his head and continued, “But why did I hear that someone wants to teach you a lesson?”

“Who?”

Sean frowned. Why did a villain suddenly appear?

What?

Am I the male lead of a novel?

“There's a knight in the first year of our Knight Academy, ranked second, named Alan.”

Knight Mord explained to Sean, “His father is an earl. I don't know why he's angry, but I heard it's because of emotional issues?”

Sean: “Emotional issues? What emotional issues could I have with him?”

“Then how would I know, but you should know the person he likes.” Knight Mord continued.

“Who?”

“Titania. He and that heiress of the White Rose Chamber of Commerce have known each other since they were young. He even claims to be Titania's childhood sweetheart.”

“But the other boys in the Knight Academy who are pursuing Titania are well aware that he and Titania have only met a few times at certain noble banquets.”

“And Titania is from your Saint Hwa Magic Academy. You can't possibly not know her, right?”

“I…” Sean was stunned and said, “I really do know her!”

“Then that's right!”

Mord clapped his hands and said decisively, “Think carefully, do you and Titania have anything going on?”

“……”

Sean fell silent immediately.

His and Titania's affairs?

Just that time in class when Titania 'confessed' to him in front of everyone?

Cough cough~

Although it wasn't exactly a confession, there were rumors in the academy about him trying to pursue Titania.

But Titania has at least five hundred, if not a thousand, suitors.

Why would Alan, who is far away in the Knight Academy, be stimulated and develop such strong hostility towards him?

Plus, someone is suddenly monitoring… There's probably another hidden reason here!

“Knight Mord, these are the gold coins for those eighty-two bottles of holy water. Please check them.” At this time, Yurisha handed Mord a money bag.

After Knight Mord took the money bag, he immediately turned around and left!

Muttering in his mouth, “I won't count them! Brother Sean, what I said is all true, you have to be careful!”

Before long, he disappeared.

After Mord left, Sean immediately asked Yurisha, “Sister Yurisha, can I spend the night in the monastery?”

“Of course!” Sister Yurisha nodded, “I'll help you tidy up the bedding…”

“No need!”

Sean shook his head and continued, “I'll just sleep in the basement.”
