I had forced the guildmaster to spit it all out. Since the evidence couldnât be made public, we couldnât hand the culprit over to the guards so they could investigate the case. That was why the Industry Guild had secretly interrogated him in their own basement. They had even called in some old guy who used to work as a torturer in another region... Supposedly, the old man was thrilled by the extra income and the fact that his abilities were being relied upon again.
All of this wasnât arranged just because I had requested it, but because I also had the testimonies from my two orphan employees and because I claimed that I had irrefutable proof. Besides, there was no reason for me to throw such an accusation at a freshly-hired manager if it hadnât been necessary. I couldâve just fired him if I wanted to get rid of him. It wasnât like there was such a thing as employee rights in this world. And for some reason, people had a whole lot of trust in me here. This case could have compromised peopleâs faith in the Industry Guild, so they were desperate to resolve it.
Once left alone with the old man, the former manager had blabbed about all sorts of things...with silver accessories (metal needles) stuck under his nails. He was just a servant from a merchant house and not a professional agent trained to withstand torture, so I couldnât blame him for talking.
âSo, when you said heâs loyal to his master, you meant his original master who had ordered him to infiltrate the shop, and that the orphans werenât really his subordinates or co-workers. But he threatened my two employees by saying it would be his word against theirs, though it shouldâve been obvious which side I would believe... There arenât a lot of people less trustworthy than a fool who believes their actions could decide the fate of young orphans who would willingly give up their lives to protect the storeâs money and products. Wouldnât you agree?â I asked.
I thought they would immediately agree, but the two stayed silent.
âI thought I would finally be able to take it easy and go back home more frequently, but I guess not,â I mused. âThanks to that traitor and our âmalicious adversaryâ... Iâll have to make sure to punish them heavily to discourage anyone from trying something like this again...â
I spoke with a smile on my face and my two guestsâ faces scrunched up with discomfort for some reason.
I wonder why that is?
I had to teach them that if you swung at someone, you could end up hitting a pile of poison-tipped swords.
