Chapter 1020 – What Is the Right Heart?
Sereung!!
A flash of light flashed.
Just before my sword touched his own throat, the man who barely responded grabbed the sword with his two fingers.
Whoa. Two fingers?
Are you a great master?
The silent man let out a puzzled voice.
“…Haha. As rumored, he’s going berserk…”
Wood deok!
“Kheuheugh…!!”
The guy who slapped my foot in the stomach broke his back.
What about the ninja guy behind me?
Float-!!
“Kyaaak!”
A bang was heard and the ninja fell to the floor.
Patter.
Fine pieces of powder fell from the translucent air shield she bumped into.
Even though the shield of the air has become quite hard these days, it breaks a little just by simply bumping into it. That ninja is as amazing as his specs.
“Cough…! Cough, Cough, Kelok…”
The man couldn’t recover from his damage, and he coughed out his extended cough while punching his butt.
Quaang!!
“Keah…!”
I trampled the man’s head on the floor and waited for him to raise his head again. He raised his sword proudly.
“Yap.”
Booung!
“Kuk!”
A man pointing up again.
But this time fake. I jump while rotating my body in the direction I swung my sword. And above the powered man that rotated. It landed right on the spine.
Kujik-!
“Aaaaa, !!”
A scream that seems to leave.
Fortunately, the room is already soundproofed.
The Hart family should be able to focus on their work as usual.
“Hmm…”
I nodded and thought these two were ‘privilege idiots’.
Perk stupid.
Guys who believe only in skills and perks, without any technique.
If the opponent is a master who can interfere with the effects of skills and perks with Ryunar, he is the type to be helpless.
The spec itself was strong, but the skills were lousy.
Seeing how he held the blade with two fingers, he wondered if he was a good fighter, but that skill was probably a privilege.
Perhaps blocking something sharp, such as a slash or thrust, that can be grasped with two fingers, or blocking a blow. It must be the ability to work either way.
There is no doubt that I was worried a lot before I raised my sword.
It could be said to be Maya’s inferior compatibility.
The ninja in the back is very fast, but it is out of the question because he fell close to self-destruction without noticing the shield in the air before he even used his ability.
They are worse people than you think.
So, what are the remaining factors worth evaluating? It’s the head
“Ku, cool… Huh, whoop whoop…”
The man who was breathing heavily shook his head.
“Test. That’s it. I must have scored very poorly…”
Pak!
The fallen ninja came next to the man and threw up. He got down on his knees and bowed his head.
“I’m very sorry for causing a lot of trouble and bothering you. But we had no choice but to do that.”
“Is that so.”
Hmm.
The brain passed.
I know very well why I got hit. To be honest, he would be pissed off, but he doesn’t show his anger.
I still want to win more.
I didn’t fight Gold again because of these people.
I looked down at them for a moment and sighed.
The guys who kidnapped Ulyss are willing to become my subordinates.
The path to reconciliation with my brother seems to be getting farther and farther away.
I told them both.
“Get up.”
“Thank you.”
Unlike before, the two of them were clearly nervous.
Maybe. It seemed that he realized the difference in skill.
At first, I only heard rumors, so this person must be stronger than me, but how strong is he? If he felt the same way, he’s definitely terrified now.
Anyway.
“You want to come under my command?
“…Yes, it is.”
The man looked a bit surprised and was silent for a while before speaking.
“Since Dre-nim discovered the Three Shrines. The forces that were united around the headquarters are slowly faltering.”
“Is that so.”
In fact, it is natural.
While the headquarters posted small results, we. First of all, we, called the eight-day faction, have made tremendous achievements in purifying magic bullets and finding the Three Gods.
Until now, following the main point has given me benefits in many ways, and even if you don’t come to the Eight Factions, as promised in the dialogue, the information on the Eight Factions is shared with the community, so there is no reason to be shaken.
But this time it gave our faction a huge benefit.
It is the ‘divine power’ obtained from the various contents of the Three Shrines and the first discovery.
Since it is the main store power, a group that has gathered to see if it goes well, and only pursues profit, can you eat without feeling sick to your stomach?
Words can’t come out
And ‘that guy’ Shii In-su-woo-woo-ryun doesn’t even tickle even if the idiots leave the group. I should have left the confusion with my thoughts.
As much as he has the powerful ability to read a vast range of people’s minds, he is often caught off guard thinking that he can make up for any mistakes at any time.
Ruler. So now that’s the problem.
How attractive a gift they bring will determine whether he regrets it or not.
“Please explain why you did this.”
While I brought out refreshments and tea, the two of them were deep in thought.
“First of all. There are two reasons we kidnapped Ulysse.”
“Yes.”
When I nodded my head to continue talking, the man nodded and continued.
“One, based on the information so far, I think Dre-sama will hate Ulis very much.”
So I was going to kidnap her and offer her to me to do as I please.
It’s difficult.
I really didn’t want to do that, but if I accept them, it could be the shape I’ve captured as Gold feared earlier.
The man seemed more nervous as if he had noticed that I was not liking the reaction.
“Reason number two. This is important.”
As I stared at him, the man muttered at him as if speechless.
The brain is good, but the mentality is weak.
At that time. The ninja, who had been listening quietly until now, took a step forward.
“Reason number two. I’d like to confirm one before I say that.”
“Hmm.”
When I tilted my head, the ninja became very nervous.
Gulp. It was enough to swallow dry saliva.
Why are you like that?
[That ninja. Now, it seems that I was deliberately speaking half-heartedly. In this situation where I came to ask for acceptance as a subordinate, I am afraid to speak in a halfhearted way.]
[Kid. I think I want to see your reaction?]
The two soul friends spoke in excited voices.
I also thought I was deliberately rude.
Since he committed a major accident in which he kidnapped a knight under the direct control of the heir of a teenage family, he must be quite confident in the contents of the transaction.
Having brought that much information, they are on an equal footing with me. I thought I said it with such thoughts, but it seems like I’m trying to figure out how to react to my words?
They are cute people.
“Hey.”
The man looked at me and whispered to the ninja.
The ninja was nervous, but seemed unwilling to change his tone.
The other side might have a little more hair than the man, but it had more guts.
I laughed softly.
“It’s okay to talk casually. In the first place, both tofu seem to be older than me.”
“…Ah. No.”
The man broke out in a cold sweat.
“Then call me whatever you like. So. Mr. Ninja, what are you checking?”
The ninja, who was nervously waiting for my reaction, finally opened his mouth.
“Eight days. Is it true that there is a feud between you and the Hart family?”
“…”
I realized after hearing this.
Ah. The head office is more open than you think. Do.
Perhaps it was the head office that spread the rumor.
There aren’t many people in the human world right now who can turn me, who is active under the influence of Kitz, into an enemy.
Even so, those who belong to the head office do not know that they spread the rumor.
There are two possibilities.
Even though they know that the head office has spread rumors, they are still trying to figure out how deep my thoughts will go.
Or that the headquarters’ troops are subdivided to such an extent that even those belonging to the headquarters do not know that the headquarters has spread rumors, and that they are not cooperative.
The ninja’s eyes are not open. I could tell by looking at the gestures, etc.
But since I could be wrong, I’m the best way. I chose forced writing.
“Should I answer?”
A cold sweat broke out on the ninja’s face, which could only be seen around the eyes.
“…No.”
Okay. No
What’s sad is the people.
It means that the one who has already worked and come to me and begs me to save him is the other side.
“…Okay. I’ll be honest. The reason I kidnapped Ulysse is because she knows the heart family’s crucial secret.”
“…Secret?”
A word you have already heard many times. The heart family secret.
What secret does the coronation Hart family hold?
“It is said that it is a secret that can shake the foundation of the Hart family.”
“That means you guys don’t know what the secret is?”
“That’s right.”
The ninja replied confidently.
“But. I think that among the head office, Chairman Shin Soo-ryun, Director Shin Jin-pae, Priestess-nim, and us are the only ones who know that the secret actually exists. My ally, Makia… I don’t know since I can’t see her these days.”
“…Hmm.”
It’s such a secret that the lower end won’t even be tipped off.
It’s not impossible that he deliberately tricked them to spread false information, but they aren’t idiots either. He must have verified in many ways and found me.
A secret that will shake the foundation of the Hart family.
Perhaps, it was the material to blackmail the Hart family in order to cause discord with me.
…What’s the secret?
What’s the secret, that smart Gald yielded to the blackmail even knowing that there would be a feud with me?
“You. I think you’re good at interrogating. Did you interrogate Ulysse by any chance?”
The man and the ninja hardened at the same time.
The man stepped forward.
“…Minimal interrogation was conducted. No pain was inflicted to the extent of injury to the body.”
It’s a story that they were even bullied or slapped on the face.
Mr. A.
I’ll cut off a few fingers.
It seems that he moved passively, not knowing how I would react.
“That’s too bad…”
“…”
“…”
Two people gulp at my words. I feel like swallowing saliva.
“Is it really information that only you know that Ulysse knows the secret or what?”
“It’s certain. Except for the very top, only we know. We were high-ranking executives, but despite our position, we took a considerable risk to find out.”
I thought a bit.
That guy has mind reading.
But he’s not always active. He’s also downright sleazy.
It wasn’t a trap he set on purpose.
However, he wouldn’t be fatal to him either.
If it was fatal information, he would have hidden it.
“…I understand. Whether or not to accept the two of you will be judged based on your future performance. First of all, hold on to Ulis for a few more days.”
“All right!!”
“I get it.”
The two responded quickly.
In my mind, I wanted to direct the two of them right away to visit Ulysse, laugh at her being caught by a stranger who hated her so much, slap her cheeks and instill fear, and then hear what a secret it was.
But not today.
Today I have to go to the Blizzar family to see Clarir.
It’s already been a few days, so if I let her wait longer, Clarir might start crying in secret again.
I received a map and contact information for the hideout they were staying in, and ordered Ulysse to return to the temporary hideout.
I plan to visit Ulysse sooner or later to find out what her secret is.
The caught Ulysse didn’t feel the slightest bit guilty, but Gold was on his mind.
His desire to reassure Gold by informing him of Ulysse’s whereabouts was like a chimney, but he decided that it was more urgent to find out what the secret was now.
I left the room and climbed the stairs to bring Rope-chan to my room.
Then down there I found the general manager Zellz-san moving something.
Wouldn’t that perfect person who manages the maids and butlers know the heart family’s secret?
Coincidentally, Zellz-san also came to my side.
“What are you curious about?”
He is a very quick-witted person.
I smiled and asked.
“I know it’s a rude question, but how much do you trust Mr. Zellz from the head of the family?”
“He trusts me firmly about work, but never talks about personal matters.”
It was an immediate answer.
“I’ve heard about the recent unsavory rumors. Rumors that the Hart family is hiding some fault.”
With just this short conversation, Zellz-san seemed to have understood why I asked why I was earning Gald’s trust.
“I can use the Heart family’s manpower, but I’m not allowed to listen to the head of the family’s personal history or give mantras.”
“Is that so.”
“Yes. And. You should know this fact. There is a significant difference between our perception of the head of the house and Dre-sama.”
I took the posture of listening quietly, and Mr. Zells continued in a dry voice.
“The head of the household changed after Gold-nim started training for succession in earnest. Before that, he was a very solemn head of the Hart family, at least.”
The images of Kaisir and Repelt, who were embarrassed in front of Gald, flashed through their heads.
“Are you dead now?”
“Only the surface. Even now, the lord maintains a coercive attitude on important matters. Even if his subordinates insist, he will never listen if he believes he is right.”
“Hmm…”
It’s an attitude that’s kind to me, even servile, but that’s probably because I think I’m higher.
Indeed, Mr. Zells spoke of that as well.
“Dre-nim is a person higher than the head of the family, so the head of the family is crouching down. But to us, he is still as difficult as the sky.”
“Is that so…”
The word “Sky” Is not an expression of respect, but an indication of how strong his coercive attitude is.
Well, I wasn’t disappointed even if the Gald I knew and the guy other people knew were very different personalities.
Maintaining authority is essential to maintaining such a huge family.
However, what Gelz-san really wanted to say was the following.
“But only one. Sir Julis’s mantra was well listened to.”
“…”
That.
Is it because of the ‘secret’ that Julis knows…?
How did Julis come to know the secret in the first place…?
“Dre-sama.”
Mr. Zellz bowed down to me.
“No matter what secrets there are, please. Please do not abandon us and the young master.”
“Ah. I’m not worried about that…”
Tring!
Uh.
It’s been a long time since I’ve had an ominous feeling…
[Sudden erotic quest occurs!
‘Hi? Long time no see?’ Quest.
Spits a mean laugh at General Manager Zellz and tells him to have sex if he doesn’t want to throw it away in a threatening tone.
When the quest is completed, a large amount of experience is presented.]
“…”
The body of disgrace was not caught.
However, a large amount…?
Special…Mass…?
“Dre?”
I trembled and laughed at the puzzled Zells.
Okay.
I’m just talking. What?
You should just pretend it was a joke.
“Khehe. If you don’t want to abandon the Heart family, how about having sex with me?”
“…”
Mmm.
Zellz-san’s serious face. I’m seeing you for the first time
“…If it’s in the distant future… It’ll be fine, I think…”
“I was wrong.”
