Trash of the Count’s Family

ere was something Cale had learned during his time as Kim Rok Soo.

‘Hit the corrupted people one extra time.’

His team leader that had taught him everything about working had given him that advice right before he passed on the team leader position to him.
That was very sound advice.

“How much?”
“You son of a bitch.”
The bishop now started to swear.
Cale did not care as he had heard all sorts of swearing directed at him when he was Kim Rok Soo.
The corrupt ones always resorted to swearing when they were in a pinch.

The bishop closed his eyes and started to speak.

“…22.”
“23.”
“…You bastard.”

The Night ’s Exultation was settled for 23 billion counds.
The bishop rubbed his tired face.
However, Cale recalled something else his team leader had said during Cale’s time as Kim Rok Soo.

‘If they are corrupt and they have a lot of money, try hitting them once more to see what happens.’

However, Cale did not plan to do so with the bishop.

‘But if you can use them later, make sure to give them some room to breathe.’

Since he was planning on using the bishop, there was no reason to rip him off completely and destroy this relationship.
Cale was thinking about the future as he observed the bishop calling the priest over.
The priest finally turned around and handed over a small money pouch.

“Here.
10 billion counds.”

The bishop then threw the pouch to Cale.

“You are prepared as I expected, bishop-nim.”

Cale respectfully responded as if he had not been talking casually this whole time while the bishop clicked his tongue.

Cale then added one more comment.

“I will see you once more in the future.”

That made the bishop start to smile.
He heard it as Cale saying that he would come to see him again with the divine item.

Cale took a piece of paper out of his pocket and put it on top of the table.
The location to send the remaining 13 billion counds was written on it.

Screeech.
The curtain opened once again.
Cale disappeared out of the terrace with the money pouch in his hand.

The priest who had been pretending to be anxious this whole time calmly stood up.
The calm expression looked as cold as the bishop ’s face.
Actually, it was even colder than the bishop ’s face.

“Go investigate that white-haired man.”
“Yes, bishop-nim.”

The bishop who had been pretending to be a servant bowed his head toward the priest.

Click, click.
A magic device in the servant’s chest pocket was activated and the servant’s face changed to that of a forty-year-old man.
This scarred face looked as if it belonged to an assassin.

The bishop sat back down on the chair and leaned back.
He then received the magic device from the servant.
Click.
His face instantly changed to that of the bishop.
He brushed his face and started to speak.

“It is annoying to touch this old face.”

The bishop ’s voice had turned into that of an old man as well.

“It’s also hard to pretend to be old.
But it seems like he doesn’t know that I killed the former bishop, right?”
“Yes sir, he does not seem to know.”
“Start the investigation in the Paerun Kingdom since he has white hair.”
“Yes sir.”

The bishop touched the magic device once again.

Cale had to deal with Raon ’s questions as he flew back into terrace 4.

Human, why did you pretend not to know that he used a magic device to disguise himself? That kind of magic device is hard to acquire! It is precious!
Cale started to smile.

“Young master-nim, welcome back.”

Billos smiled and quickly closed the curtains after saw Cale took off his mask.

“Did it get resolved properly?”
“Yes.”

Cale nodded his head.

Human, why did you pretend not to know? I am curious! And the bishop pretended to be scared, but his pupils did not shake at all, just like you said!
Cale ignored Raon ’s comments as he recalled what Saint Jack had told him.
He had explained the bishop’s appearance.
The bishop’s true appearance.

‘The Caro Kingdom’s bishop is a skinny woman in her thirties with a sharp gaze.
That is her true appearance.’

Cale started to chuckle.

“It really is scary.”

A fantasy world really was scary.
It was at that moment.

‘Hmm?’

Cale suddenly felt chills going down his back.

“Young master-nim.”

It was Ron, who was handing him some lemonade.
Cale felt the chills on his back as he looked into Ron ’s eyes.
He heard Raon ’s voice at that moment.

By the way, human, are you done with the busy errands?
‘Basically?’
Raon continued to speak once Cale nodded his head.

Human, I ’ve been ignoring the crown prince’s calls since you told me to do so.
Cale felt that something was off.

‘Hmm? He really did ignore it?’
Cale didn’t expect Raon to really ignore the calls.
He had no idea about how seriously Raon remembered everything he said.
That was the reason for it.
Cale felt as if the room was still getting colder.
However, Raon seemed oblivious to it as he happily continued to speak.

He’s been calling you ever since you started chatting with the bishop.
This is the tenth call.
‘What?’
That crown prince, Alberu, called 10 times?’

He left you a voicemail.
I’ll let you hear it.
Cale tightly clenched on the cup of lemonade.
The crown prince’s voice echoed in his mind.

The Northern Alliance is starting to move.
‘…What?’
Cale thought that he might not have heard correctly.

‘The Paerun Kingdom is making their move?
It is only February.
The ocean hasn ’t even melted yet!
Why?’

“Son of a bitch.”

Cale chugged the lemonade in one gulp.
The sour taste made him start to frown.

“Young master-nim?”

Billos looked toward him in shock.
Cale chucked the money pouch he received from the bishop toward Billos.
The confused Billos caught the money pouch.
Cale then gave him an order.

“Make sure to buy the Wolf King’s remains.”
“Excuse me?”
“There’s 10 billion in there, so make it happen.”
“E, excuse me? T, ten billion?”

Cale, who put Billos in this state of shock, continued to speak.

“I am leaving first with Ron.
Ron, lead the way.”

Cale made Ron, who came as Billos’s servant, take the lead before turning invisible in order to leave the terrace and head for the inn.

Human, there is another voicemail.
Raon spoke to Cale who was quickly walking.

Why don’t you pick up? He seems to have something to discuss with you.
Cale started to frown again.

‘Why does the crown prince need to talk to a trash like me?’

His back was cold, his mouth had a sour taste, and unexpected things were happening.

‘This is driving me nuts.’

He couldn’t help but be annoyed.
