My Reflector Is Invincible

My Reflector Is Invincible 53

53. Oh, Oh, Oh

The ground shook as if an earthquake had struck.

At the same time, red emergency lights turned on throughout the bank.

Beep- Beep-.

The earthquake was the sound of people running.

Dozens of people were running down the stairs on both sides of the bank.

On the left were goblins dressed in fancy clothes.

[Northern Bank Manager]

At the front was the head of the goblin bank located in the Edmer Dukedom.

Following him were the executives right below him.

Descending from the opposite staircase were armored knights.

Clang, clang!

Their equipment was on a completely different level from the guards’.

Golden full-body armor that perfectly protected the body.

Not to mention various magical tools, and even luxurious weapons that looked expensive at a glance.

They were the [Golden Knights], the pride of the Goblin Bank.

They were the ultimate force of the Goblin Bank that even high-ranking nobles couldn’t handle carelessly.

The knights, fluttering their cloaks, soon lined up on either side of Joo-in.

And raised their halberds.

“Salute to the founding member!”

“Thank you for your visit!”

Shudder!

The halberds were lined up in a straight line towards Joo-in.

It was a posture as if being inspected.

Soon after, goblins dripping with sweat approached through the halberds.

The one in the front was the bank manager, and behind him was the store manager who had received Joo-in’s account.

‘Oh my god, a founding member…… The alarm that had never sounded since the bank was founded…….’

‘I thought he was just a peddler, but a founding member? I’m dead today…….’

It was an alarm that hadn’t sounded in 100 years.

It was natural for the goblin bank manager to break out in a cold sweat.

Because what Joo-in gave him was an account number that only a few people knew.

‘That, too, was definitely the first number that only the founder could use. Knowing that means…….’

It was clear that he was one of the seven founders.

They were called the de facto owners of the Goblin Bank.

If the alarm had gone off, there was absolutely no way it could be false.

‘Because it’s an alarm that the founder, the Gold Dragon, made.’

The goblin bank manager bowed his head 90 degrees.

“How could such a person come to such a place…….”

“I guess you haven’t heard of me yet. It’s been a few days since I came to the dukedom.”

“Su… surely, the hero who the royal families of the continent are visiting…….”

“Do I have to explain everything to you?”

“Ah… no!”

The bank manager was startled and bowed his head again.

It was the Goblin Bank, which was said to own half of the gold on the continent.

Among them, the bank manager was someone that even Duke Edmer couldn’t handle carelessly.

However, even the bank manager, who was said to make birds drop dead, could become nothing more than a sitting duck in front of the bank owner’s words.

‘What’s more? A hero?’

Who would have thought that he was the person who caused the great migration of the royal families and popes in the north.

It was hard to come to my senses at the words that such a person was a founding member.

And Joo-in, looking at the sight, was inwardly relieved.

‘Fortunately, I can still use the account number.’

I had expected the account to still be active based on my previous experiences, but there was always a chance.

And once I get through this, there’s a high probability that the contents inside will still be there.

‘Alright.’

However, goblins are weak-willed despite their great abilities.

If I show any uneasiness, they might say that the items are gone and try to trick me. It would be inconvenient to use the bank.

In reality, they would ask me annoying questions to try and find my weaknesses.

That’s why he raised an eyebrow and said,

“Let me tell you something. I just had the most absurd experience at this bank.”

“What happened?”

It was a shocking statement for the bank manager.

“They tried to kick me out, saying I was a peddler. They even tried to charge me an entrance fee because my attire was like a beggar’s? Don’t tell me there’s some new rule at the bank that I don’t know about?”

“……!?”

The bank manager’s jaw dropped.

‘What? You’re telling me that a founding member was disrespected at my bank?’

If this got out, his career as a northern bank manager would be over.

It was such a serious matter that even the central bank manager would come running, let alone the other branches.

They had committed such disrespect against a founding member, who was practically the owner of the bank.

The bank manager goblin’s murderous gaze turned to the guards and the goblin who had mocked Joo-Heon.

‘Are you crazy? Did another bank manager hire you to kill me or something?’

‘We’re innocent. We just did what we always do…….’

‘We… We didn’t know that would happen.’

The guards and the goblin shot him resentful looks as if to say they were innocent.

The bank manager bowed his head all the way to the ground.

“I apologize! I will rectify this situation!”

“Rectify what……. I want concrete results.”

“I will do whatever you ask!”

Joo-Heon didn’t say anything, but the guards and the goblin were trembling at his piercing gaze.

This wasn’t an issue that could be resolved by just killing one or two people.

They looked at the nobles.

‘Please help us.’

‘Didn’t you tell us to kick him out……!’

However, the nobles made their judgment very quickly.

“Ahem……. I just realized I have something to do today. I should go.”

“Oh my, it’s getting so late. My wife will be waiting for me. I should go too.”

“Oh? How awful to go alone! Let’s go together!”

They all got up from their seats at once.

In truth, the nobles had felt uneasy ever since the sudden alarm and the earthquake.

A founding member of the Goblin Bank.

Anyone who had used the bank even a little bit knew the weight of that title.

“We should get out of here before things get worse.”

“Who knows what might happen if we get mixed up with them? We need to get a loan, and we can’t afford to be on bad terms with the bank…”

“Honestly, we didn’t do anything wrong. We didn’t force them to leave.”

“We just said we were uncomfortable.”

Of course, one of them couldn’t just leave.

It was because Joo-yeon had called him.

“You said you’d support me if I opened an account. I’ll be waiting to see when you’ll actually support me.”

“Ugh!”

It was an unpleasant and vulgar thing to say to the nobles, but they couldn’t say anything.

If they provoked the bank for no reason and got attacked, even they would be in trouble.

“I’ll… I’ll greet you separately later.”

“I’ll be waiting with pleasure.”

In the end, the nobles left after promising separate compensation.

The higher the rank, the more they had to give good compensation to save face.

They just made one mistake and ended up getting ripped off by Joo-yeon.

‘Yeah, I should have been more careful with what I said.’

There was someone else who was devastated by this sight.

It was the guards who had pressured Joo-yeon.

‘We just… wanted to please the nobles and get paid.’

‘This is a total disaster…’

However, Joo-yeon whispered softly to them as they looked miserable.

“Customers can do that… but you shouldn’t.”

The goblins sank into their seats with looks of despair.

The goblin bank manager bowed his head anxiously.

“I’ll punish them severely and kick them out! I’m so sorry for causing you such trouble!”

“Even so, don’t cut off their income. Make sure they’re not kicked out.”

“Th-then what should we do?”

“You need to teach them properly from the bottom up so that they can provide genuine service to customers.”

“……!?”

Joo-yeon pointed to a bag of rags in the corner.

“For now, instead of spears and pens, it would be good for them to start by cleaning with rags.”

“Ack…”

“Starting with the sewers.”

He was telling them to clean the sewers at the bottom of the bank.

As punishments go, this was the worst.

However, the bank manager didn’t care.

“I’ll do as you say!”

It wasn’t his job to do it anyway.

However, he didn’t know that Joo-yeon’s sharp eyes were watching him.

“The root of all this trouble is the banker.”

That’s why the guards and bank tellers could talk down to customers who were poorly dressed.

That’s why they had become the playthings of the nobles.

It was all because the banker turned a blind eye.

If he had run the bank properly, none of this would have happened.

‘He must be getting paid enough to take responsibility for this.’

But he hadn’t made her clean the cesspool for nothing.

If she cleaned it, it was bound to be revealed.

The corruption that the banker had been hiding.

‘I need to get my stuff out before that.’

Joo-yeon looked at the banker with an impassive expression.

“So when can I open my account?”

“I’ll open it for you right now.”

The banker shouted anxiously, thinking he could get out of this without a hitch.

“Close the shutters!”

Clang!

In an instant, iron bars slammed down, blocking the bank’s entrance.

The knights paired off and guarded the doors and windows.

It was perfect security, where no one could enter.

But it wasn’t over yet.

“We will now escort the honored guest!”

Joo-yeon followed their lead as if it were only natural.

It was an incredible situation for Haken, who was just following behind.

‘Those… those wretched goblins are being so polite. Just who is she?’

[Goblin Bank]

They were a monopoly that didn’t even look at unprofitable work.

They were known for being unkind to customers who came to deposit items.

They were so arrogant that they treated even the Knight King as just another customer when he visited.

But now, those same people had completely changed.

“hehehe. You must be hot. Here’s some cold water.”

“No, water for the founding member? Go get a drink with ice in it right now!”

“I… I apologize.”

‘Ice…? They’re serving that expensive stuff in the middle of summer?’

Ice was an expensive commodity that only wizards could make.

And on top of that, they were providing all sorts of other services.

It was an incomprehensible situation for Haken, who was usually ignored as a bum on the backstreets.

They finally arrived at Joo-yeon’s vault.

“Alright, everyone out.”

“B… But we could help you…”

“I said get out. Only this lady and I are going in from here.”

“Yes, sir. Feel free to call us anytime. We’ll be waiting outside.”

“I see.”

Joo-Yeon kicked everyone out.

Banks usually helped to find and pack up the things inside the safe deposit box.

Confused by his actions, Haken asked,

“Why did you tell the other goblins to leave?”

“From now on, it’s better to have as few eyes on us as possible.”

“Pardon?”

“You’ll see.”

As Joo-Yeon entered the password in front of the safe deposit box.

Rumble!

A giant warehouse appeared.

And Haken…

“Wh… What the heck?”

Fainted on the spot.
