Lann watched the hesitant steps of the dwarf financier, who was almost a partner, and the intelligence chief sitting across from him at the table with a smirk.

A sense of unease surged in his heart.

”You just said, my...”

Lann’s glass was still raised in mid-air, but his finely crafted face turned to look at Taler with a blank expression.

”Savings?”

Taler raised his large wooden cup filled with Redanian beer, using the drinking motion to cover his face, as if trying to hide his smile.

Yet the stifled laughing sound couldn’t be concealed, and the spilled chilled Redanian beer dampened his collar.

Even with the dwarf’s short legs and Shilton’s hesitant steps like walking to the gallows, he had finally made his way from the guest room door to the table.

The dwarf’s short and stout body was supposed to resemble an iron pile or an oak barrel filled with wine.

But now Shilton looked wilted like a frost-beaten eggplant, his chin nearly touching his chest.

From this angle, he resembled a meatball.

He walked over to Lann’s table with a sigh and a hop of his short legs, plopping his butt onto the bench.

”Laugh at me again, and I’ll hammer your front teeth down your throat!”

Shilton Giancardi, a dwarf financier who had mingled in human society for many years, first aimed an angry insult at the intelligence chief across the table.

After cursing, he turned with a face full of apology and regret to the Demon Hunter beside him.

His lips, hidden by a thick red beard, moved slightly.

”It’s just... um, how shall I put this...”

His eyes wandered under Lann’s gaze.

The more he did so, the worse Lann felt.

Beside him, Taler seemed to finally realize the etiquette expected from the first one seated at the table.

He raised his hand to call Gatis to bring some snacks, and seeing the three at the table, Gatis also provided three silver forks with the dishes.

The small tavern in this village was increasingly resembling a wealthy merchant club in a big city.

”Let me be blunt...”

Seeing Shilton’s muddled behavior, Taler interjected.

But was immediately interrupted by the red-bearded dwarf.

”Shut up, please!”

Taking a deep breath, Shilton mustered the courage to look directly at the blinking Lann, as if finally resigned to his fate.

”Lann, I... I got your personal account investment into trouble... the funds have issues.”

After saying this, Shilton let out a long sigh, as if resigned, relieved from a burden, or perhaps his own spirit.

His entire demeanor slumped.

He mumbled with his head down: ”Whatever you decide to do with me, I won’t say a word. But if you give me some time, I’ll patch the gap even if I have to borrow money from home.”

Shilton had been mingling in human society for so long that even his dwarven speech habits had changed for socializing.

But now, troubled and restless, he was back to his constant use of ”I.”

”Well, no...” Lann had a rough guess of the problem now, and he opened his mouth, ”Shilton, are you talking about my personal fund? What exactly went wrong?”

”I, I ran that personal fund too aggressively.”

Now deflated, Shilton simply resigned himself and continued speaking.

His hands twisted his fiery red beard into a tangled mess.

”You know how exciting it is for investors to have a fund they can maneuver freely.”

”I used that fund to invest widely, acquiring assets and shares, including shares in a shipping company in Novigrad and a ferry company on the Ponta River, and...”

Shilton listed many companies and assets.

All of them seemed quite promising.

”But didn’t I tell you not to worry about returns?”

Yet Lann never cared much about money from the start, or rather, after getting out of his initial predicament, he no longer cared about it.

Taler, sitting to the side, responded to Lann while using a silver fork to eat the newly served cheese with ham slices.

”Even if a financier isn’t greedy, you can’t expect him to resist investing when he has liquid funds in hand, can you?”

”Yes, I couldn’t resist.” Shilton admitted his mistake, bowing his head, ”I unwittingly expanded too fast and too wide.”

”That personal fund’s source is easy to trace, and he’s a manager of the Valerian Steel Merchants Association, already a notable figure.”

Taler gestured with the silver fork in his hand, pointing at Shilton, while explaining the situation beyond finance to Lann.

”When everyone knew it was your personal fund, its operations flowed practically unhindered policy-wise, faster than other funds, you understand?”

Taler emphasized ”your,” highlighting the importance.
