This one was a bit harder to translate than the last one, but I think I did (kinda) okay?
By all means, enjoy!

Threat > Negotiations
“Fumu…..well, this time I only came for negotiations, so I will let you keep your life” (Georg)
When Georg said so and undid the ‘Dragon King’s Coercion’ skill, the two people in front of him breathed out all the air they couldn’t let out moments ago. Beads of sweat had appeared on the bodies and the clothes could be seen to be getting a little moist.
“Well, I’d like to cut to the chase now, do you mind?” (Georg)
Georg sat down on a chair at hand and crossed his arms and legs.
“Huff…..Yes……” (Raymond)
Raymond, who had finally managed to breathe in, sat back on his chair. As for Anna, she had been directly exposed to the intimidation, as was currently in a state of hyperventilation.
“Uhm…..Pardon my rudeness, but I’d like to send this person to the Medical Officer…..” (Raymond)
“…….A fragile thing. Well, if you leave it here, it will only be troublesome and hostile” (Georg)
“Oh….Thank you very much. Is someone there!?” (Raymond)
When Raymond shouted so, the guard, who seems to have been standing by, entered the room and ran up to Anna. He hefted her on his shoulder and left the room again. Perhaps he would be going to the medical bay.

Speaking of this world’s medicine, it is mostly using various concoctions of herbs, or sucking out poisoned blood, but it is better than nothing I guess.
“So what…..what is the main subject….?” (Raymond)
“Oh….that’s right, to put it briefly, do not meddle with the Goldberg Company, that is to say, do not disturb the gathering of beast people.” (Georg)
“That…. That is….” (Raymond)
“I do not accept the question ‘why?’.” Please answer whether you can accept my request or not.” (Georg)
“Mumu, of course! I will toast to our agreement!…….But, to the people of the church this would be……..” (Raymond)
“Is it impossible to stop doubting me if I don’t tell you my reasoning?” (Georg)
“Yes……” (Raymond)
If handled poorly, religious teachings can even overthrow powerful people. Therefore, many aristocrats and lords choose to have nothing to do with the church, or convert themselves as well.
“Well, say if a merchant or lord has the aim to cultivate the Great Gardena forest called the Devil’s Forest, wouldn’t he choose to use those sub-people to do it for him?” (Georg)
“That is….well if I could hear the name of that person, I could be useful to him….” (Raymond)
“That’s right too…. this truly is a troublesome thing…..”
Raymond shrank in fear, seeing the hateful expression Georg has on his face.
“That…. are you by chance the one who collects the sub-persons?” (Raymond)
“…..That is so. There is something I want to do for a little bit.” (Georg)
“Well, if you go directly to the church, with them…..” (Raymond)
“That’s not it. Why do I have to be involved in such things, even now I am feeling somewhat bad about meeting them….and I could probably not use their authority for such a thing. I do not like to hurt innocent humans, but I can also not stand being used by humans.” (Georg)
“……………………..” (Raymond)
Raymond couldn’t say anything to that. Yes, the church does that kind of thing. If a n.o.bleman supported us, he would only express his support to us, but if the lord of this area supported us, we would be allowed to do anything, especially if that lord has the backing of the royal family. But even the royal family bows their heads to the church, as should a Dragunir. Even if Georg gave a warning, there would still be an unspecified number of people coming after him at some point.
“…..Rather, I should destroy…..” (Georg)
“What? I will do it!! I will cooperate with you!! Please, calm your anger!” (Raymond)
Raymond hurriedly said to Georg who was whispering with a dark expression. If the church in this town would be destroyed, Raymond, as the lord of the town, would face the consequences.
“Hmmm?…..Can you do it?” (Georg)
“Yes!!……Well, let me say that the merchants of the pioneering group around the border can do it if gathered. To confirm their capabilities will take around ten days……” (Raymond)
“Well, seems like Ed is excellent enough, so shall I ask it of you?” (Georg)
“Ha…..yes…. I have received your order.” (Raymond)
Raymond floated a dry laugh. I wondered if I should also ask the Goldberg firm, but I quickly rejected that thought. Anyway, the chairman of the Goldberg company is also familiar with my face and name. I would probably suffer more damage in that case.
“With this, the purpose of this time was fulfilled, it was very meaningful." (Georg)
“Yes, say so, please…” (Raymond)
“Yes. Oh, and I wanted to ask one more thing….” (Georg)
“What, what is it?” (Raymond)
“In the name of the lord, how many beast people can be gathered in this city?” (Georg)
Raymond, who was sure by now that he had gotten himself involved in outrageous things, faced this question of a man who had an amused look on his face.

Well, let’s just say it will be 5 days at most
