The Most Notorious "Talker" Runs the World's Greatest Clan - Vol. 4 Ch. 24 - Dancing In The Palm of His Hand

[Howgeeful]

I think the way how the situation played out was very unfortunate. She is a innocent child who died because of her parents' crimes and the MC's lack of conscience, empathy, and compassion. What got me was when MC and Alma was leaving, Chelsea screamed that she hates all seekers. However, even though she said that, she died holding onto the dragonfly. Despite everything that had happened, even though her belief in him was shaken to the core, she still believed in him till the end. The dragonfly was that symbol. The MC betrayed her trust, respect, and admiration for him. He is accountable for her death and her blood is on his hands. Do I believe he is accountable and guilty for what he has done? Yes. His actions has consequences and even though it was unintended does not mean he is not accountable or guiltless. It goes to show how apathetic and borderline sociopathic he is as an individual. Having read up to this point, it seems betrayal in any way, shape, or form is one of the main elements of the story.

MC definitely isn't a thief nor is he responsible for the death of the little girl. MC was charging 500k for 20 people when there was actually 60 so if anything MC should have gotten 1.5M for the job. Even if you want to say he should have settled for the agreed price, the extra he got was for him keeping his mouth shut about the village chief attempting to poison him.

The death of the little girl would have happened even if the MC never got involved just due to how stupid her parents are.

Let's assume a different party took this job. They would have most likely died due to being too weak since it was 3x the reported bandits and they also had a B rank for a leader. The bandits would have then raided the village and the girl would have mostly likely died.

If the party did win then the chief would have tried to poison them and failed since there no way a party strong enough to defeat 60 bandits would be fooled so easily. They would have either killed or reported the chief which would leave the village blacklisted. Since Albert is insane he would have killed the girl and her mother even though the chief already died or was imprisoned.


I'm not trying to claim MC is a good person nor has he stated that he is a good person. He lives by his own moral code and by taking that into consideration he went super easy on them. Some rules that he lives by are to never be looked down on, payback a thousand fold, maximize profit and prioritize his own life. MC does his best to live by this code as it's the only way for him to achieve his dream. Yet MC was looked downed on, didn't fully take revenge (only took the chief's eye when the chief tried to kill him) and settled for less money than he should have. There's no way MC could have gone easier on them without betraying his beliefs. Please remember we're talking about the person who SOLD his old party members into slavery because they robbed him. The chief not only robbed him but also tried to kill him.

Taking the chief's eye was mostly likely to serve as a wake up call and warning for the chief and to show the girl that the life of a seeker is all sunshine and rainbows. MC tried to strike fear into the chief because if he didn't and the chief pulled some be like this again it could leas to far more bloodshed of seekers and innocents. Being a seeker isn't just about fighting monsters and bandits but also clients who try to screw you over. The life of as seeker isn't easy and he wanted to show her that. MC isn't some knight in shining armour but in some way he tried to help her without betraying what he stands for.

One last note the chief was able to speak to Albert in person yet instead asking for more time to pay or that they spare his family he tries to get revenge on MC. I yapped way too much about this.

Wow, people actually defense the father crazy
Just do a similar simulation that case in real life:

• Father ask me to borrow big money or else his family will doom
• I refuse it. So It my responsible for his family doom?

Since those guy above said MC guilty, So in that case I'm also being guilty because I know their situation but I don't help them.

Anything other than what he did would have been better XD
He knew exactly what would happen, and not only did he not do anything, He made things worse.

Remember he didn't just take what was his, he also took everything that also wasn't his.

MC ain't a saint he was a thief also.

the mayor don't even have enough to pay him in full. what is this 'extra' that MC took exactly..?

MC didn't just take his money back, he took all the money... did... did you not read?

(Doesn't change the fact he left her for dead, and never actually killed the people responsible... which since he took all the money not just his, he is one of such people).

Author's a braindead retard anyway.

He took 830.000. He mentions at the start he calculated the reward at 500.00 or 25.000 per kill for 20 guys which is considered "low" which the Chief begrudgingly agreed. In the end it was trice so it would have been 1.500.000 AND he also tried to murder them. A reminder that the MC could have also gone to the Police and we already know that this would just be as much a death sentence. They could have tried to make up the money somehow or simply not tried to kill the MC and paid the 500k but instead the Chief tried to murder them and then decided to run to the Mob Boss who is known for being a deranged bastard.
The MC is an asshole and definitely at least somewhat evil but the death of the Chiefs Family is all on the Chief. It was his decisions that ended up with him and his daughter (and probably his wife) dead.

Make whatever excuses you need to justify MC helping her get murdered and then to add insult to injury, the girl that was slowly tortured to death holding onto her doll of him, he just waltz's past the guy who did it, doing nothing to them.

But he's your hero... need better heros bruv, cause that's a piece of shit.

I prefer MC's that don't let the little girls who idolize them get tortured to death, let alone ones that played a part in causing it, and then doing nothing to their murderer, as they waltz pass them and then sit down thinking they did a good job.

O but but he got the big boss? and? the dudes who actually did it, are sitting there eating well... chatting away about how they killed her... how nice. Must be something that fills you with such joy.

Correction, he waltzed past the guy "that had to dispose of the remains". The "Guy who did it" got later eaten by pigs. Who was the big boss.
No seriously did you even bother to properly read this manga? The guy was completely messed up due to the state she was in and was at his limit. They didn't "chat" about the deed, he was confessing he can't do it anymore. Which considering his Boss was also a death sentence for him.
But considering the rest of your comments "properly reading" is not your strong point as you didn't even bother to "properly read" what I wrote. Seriously I straight out called the MC an Asshole but "he is totally my hero" or something. A discussion about this with you will probably be more trouble than it is worth considering your replies so far so I'm just gonna black list you. I doubt you read more than three words of this anyway.

Nice try, the guy who did it, wasn't the boss, it was his underlings which MC did NOTHING TO.

Stop trying to cope so hard, Author is a shit writer, and MC is a piece of shit with no redeeming qualities, who lets thugs that torture children roam free and act likes he's a hero. Although he did help them kill her... so makes sense.

 

[HekkoDGecko]

Bruh... all that comment, to still ignore the fact he was responsible, and pretends like he wasn't. Getting "Justice" when his own head should have been on the chopping block as well.

Also... ain't no one who kills an innocent little girl, being sad they did... they're already too far gone. You confuse "should" and "would". I ain't saying they shouldn't I'm saying they wouldn't.
Might want to learn the different of those terms.

Might be a bit late, but no matter what action the MC took, that family would still end up dead. If he only took the agreed upon amount, that family would still die cuz they don't have enough to pay up. If he killed the father on the spot and not take any money, they would still end up dead cuz it's not enough. If he just upped and left the village as soon as he sensed the poison (without taking the money), they would still end up dead cuz the money is still not enough, and I would doubt that MC would not share the info about the chief's schemes to other seekers, which in turn would remove any chance of the chief earning quick money. I don't know how you could possibly say that the girl's death is the MC's fault when no matter what the MC did would not affect the outcome, he's not even a variable, the only slightly possible way for that family to survive was them succeeding in killing MC and alma (assuming they had enough on them to reach the quota).

Cope, he could have easily saved the girl lmao.

And he could have easily at least killed those who tortured her to dead. To which he did literally nothing to and let them roam free acting like he avenged her.

Trash writing is trash.

 

[trashdump]

Welp, lil girl's dead, shame. Could easily be a future side character with background already in place, missed opportunity.
