Saying this, Goki patted Margaret's shoulder.
"Perhaps Kazimierz will get better because of this, or perhaps it will be doomed forever, but ultimately, it needs to be changed by those who want to change it—like Margaret, and not people like you, Chiarne."
Looking at the Kuranta man, Goki didn't feel much hatred, but rather more pity.
He didn't want to preach too much; simple facts were enough to prove the essence of Kazimierz.
"I want to say, don't think that by continuing to climb, you'll be safe. In this system, everyone is just a replaceable and modifiable part—don't look down on those who have been fooled, and don't praise this terrible society just to make yourself feel at ease; that will only make you seem like a contemptible scoundrel."
As Goki spoke, Chiarne's smile gradually faded, his Face appearing somewhat red, then somewhat purple, unsure if it was anger or shame.
Goki's words effortlessly hit upon the facts he desperately tried to forget—even if his current position wasn't low, he was nothing more than a punching bag for his superiors, and his former dwelling was even worse than this dilapidated yard.
"Mr. Goki, please retract your defamation against me—my company. If I wished, I could initiate a defamation lawsuit against you at any time."
However, Goki had no intention of continuing to entangle with Chiarne. Goki pulled out his personal business card and handed it to Chiarne.
"You can do so at any time. No need to bother with illegally verifying my identity—Rhine Lab, Field Agent, Goki. I hope Allens Choice has the guts to sue us."
Solving the Celestial Envoy issue was a huge favor, and Goki didn't mind using the Director's company name here to scare people. Rhine Lab's size was one of the largest in Columbia, not something Allens Choice could compare to.
He also wasn't afraid of Chiarne developing any vengeful thoughts—he was just short on prey recently.
Chiarne's gaze was fixed on Goki. He was silent for several seconds, but ultimately only showed a standardized smile.
"...It was a pleasure meeting you, Mr. Goki, a truly pleasant conversation. Since you two are determined to refuse, I won't bother you further. If you change your mind later, please call me at the number on the business card."
Handing his business card to Goki, Chiarne took two steps back and walked towards the closed door.
Duang—
But to everyone's surprise, just as he approached the door, the dilapidated wooden door was suddenly kicked open by a full, shapely leg wrapped in delicate black silk.
The old wooden door slammed directly into Chiarne's Face. The immense force of a Kuranta's naturally powerful kick sent him spinning two or three meters away.
Thanks to Goki's quick reflexes, moving Margaret's training target, Chiarne was only slammed onto the newly laid grass and didn't suffer more serious injuries.
"You lackeys, you actually dared to chase Margaret all the way to her home to recruit her—the Nearl Family will never get mixed up with you! Now get out of here, all of you!"
A young, beautiful blonde woman, with one hand gripping the collar of a suit-clad bodyguard and the other holding a long blade like a whip, glared with piercing blue eyes, fuming, at the room and the "corpse" on the lawn.
"Ah..."
Then, she froze.
"A-Aunt?"
Margaret's eyes widened, uttering a somewhat incongruous term.
Goki, meanwhile, twitched his lips and called out to the house.
"Uh, Shining, could you please come out for a moment... and save someone."
The atmosphere in the scene suddenly became a bit awkward.
