Chapter 164 – Chapter 164 Civil War
The three siblings looked at each other.
They had not even touched the food or drink of the banquet.
It was thought that there might be poison.
Then Tigris asked.
“What do you mean by this? Are you trying to take the place of the head of the family by borrowing the power of the imperial family?”
Jason no longer had a polite expression on his face.
His father went into hiding, and his skill and power grew sufficiently.
He didn’t have to live crouching any longer.
“What stupid things are you talking about? Will he earn the respect of his men by claiming the family? Don’t you know that this floor ends the moment you lose the trust of your subordinates?”
The case of Thaleia was a classic example.
Daphne asked too.
“So? I don’t think all three of us are of the same mind anyway. Everyone wants the position of the head of the family, and even if they form an alliance with each other for a short time, they will never stop until they eventually become the head of the family.”
Daphne also contemplated the possibility that Tigris and Jason may have already joined hands.
It was a situation where anything like that could happen.
After all, now it was one-to-one.
It was a game in which the first to fight suffered losses.
The side that didn’t fight until the end was the most advantageous.
Jason enjoyed watching Daphne roll his hair.
She wasn’t too different from her previous life.
It was like rolling her hair around and doing tricks.
If Tigris liked to get things done without getting her hands dirty, Daphne liked to work hard and get things done in one go.
So the two couldn’t even do anything serious.
Tigris didn’t want to get his hands dirty and Daphne was just doing his reckoning.
So Jason thought of throwing some tasty bait to these two.
The kind of bait that won’t have to put off revenge any longer.
“I just called for a simple suggestion. Aren’t they all subordinates who have worked hard to raise? It’s hard to calculate whether it’s better to resurrect a worker when he dies or to leave him dead.”
This world had a holy law called resurrection, and it cost money.
Tigris and Daphne would try to resurrect themselves even if they were to die, even if they used all of their family’s wealth, but the death of their subordinates was different.
They were people who would clearly calculate the loss and gain.
Both showed interest.
“So?”
“Let’s keep it simple. Stop seeing more blood unnecessarily.”
“How?”
“Let’s see the match between heads.”
So far, Jason’s suggestions have been mouth-watering.
Jason only threw one bait, but the two talked among themselves.
“Then who will fight first? Shall we draw lots?”
“Or are the three of us going to attack someone we care about at the same time?”
“That is good. Fair. The three of us are fighting at the same time. Until there is only one left.”
For a moment, Tigris and Daphne met each other’s eyes.
If that happened, it was clear that the two of them, who had known each other for a long time, would be on the same side and attack Jason.
“Then, let’s handle this confrontation neatly so that no one can betray and hide his subordinates.”
“Okay. Notarized. To someone everyone can trust.”
“The emperor would be nice. If the imperial family mediates in this matter, it will be fine.”
“Don’t use subordinates. After the match is over, the winner decides whether or not to resurrect the dead.”
Jason nodded his head.
In a world where anyone with money could resurrect, there was no surer method of revenge than that.
There was no bully big enough to go against the decision of the match guaranteed by the imperial family.
If there was a clear match here, it was clear that the thugs would definitely serve the winner as the family head.
And the dead will soon be forgotten.
That was the world of thugs.
This was what Tigris and Daphne also wanted.
Tigris asked impatiently.
“Then when are we going to fight?”
The real game that couldn’t even be revived was about to begin.
Because it could be the last time of their lives, Tigris and Daphne did not readily say that they should fight right away.
And I couldn’t give it too much time.
Now, Jason has stopped at the same advanced stage as them, but this youngest brother had a record of rising faster than anyone else.
He said that if you gave him too much time, you could have a bad accident.
It was putting pressure on Tigris and Daphne.
Daphne carefully set the time frame.
“One month. Fight in a month.”
A week was too short.
It took a month to organize the rest of my life and enjoy something.
And more than a month was too long.
It took a month to be sure that Jason’s skills would not change.
Jason nodded his head again.
Tigris and Daphne nodded in relief.
**
One month.
It was a tight time for one person to grow.
Jason’s women were understandably worried.
Even Nainyar, who usually silently followed Jason’s orders faithfully, said this.
“This was careless. Master. I should have called for war. Then I would have become your master’s sword and kill everyone who gets in your way.”
“I am only grateful for that.”
If that had happened, a lot of people would have died needlessly.
And Tigris and Daphne’s subordinates would have made the civil war within the family useless by constantly reviving their boss rather than succumbing to the outcome.
That was absolutely not what Jason wanted.
“You don’t know me? If it’s the same level, you can kill it as many times as you want.”
“But there are only two enemies. Not one.”
Jason liked women’s worries, but he didn’t have time to waste like this now.
Some people have not reached the level of a superman even after ten years.
But Jason was different.
He could see the status window, and he knew that killing monsters would level up.
And he had the brain to think of ways to use these systems once he knew them.
“Let’s go hunting after a long time.”
There were various reasons why he dared to purchase exclusive rights to a newly discovered dungeon near the capital, but one of them was for his own training.
Jason’s women quickly prepared for the trip.
They started out of the capital in a carriage.
The women had a conversation.
“On the outside, it’s no different than going on a picnic with women.”
“But Tigris and Daphne probably aren’t that stupid. You must know that this trip is for training.”
Jason interrupted the women’s conversation.
“But even they don’t know that a person can become a superhuman in a month.”
The women were all amazed.
Even in their common sense, that was close to impossible.
“I have analyzed all the cases of people who become superhumans so far.”
It was Jason who analyzed and applied it in relation to the status window system.
Most of the countless superhumans in this world became superhumans as if they were awakening at some point while adventuring in a dangerous place.
However, very few people have become superhuman in just one adventure.
There were also people who had just reached the upper level.
The world regarded such people as gifted or favored by God.
However, after identifying and analyzing each such case, Jason found out what these people had in common.
Among the monsters, those who last attacked the Epic-level monsters, which are said to be extremely difficult to catch, reached the level of superhumans.
‘If you talk about it like a game, if you catch an epic level monster, you’ll get that much experience.’
The story that more experience points come from killing a monster is a story that could happen in a game, but in reality, it was hard for anyone to believe.
It was an inference that only Jason with the status window could be sure of.
And there was a high possibility that such an Epic class monster was sleeping in the dungeon that Jason was now monopolizing.
In that dungeon, there was a story that a demon general was sealed.
Originally, when a new dungeon was discovered, it was the adventurer’s guild’s job to check the history of the past as much as possible and figure out what dangers might exist in that dungeon, and since it was what the head of the adventurer’s guild told Jason, it was almost certain.
The head of the adventurer’s guild even gave this advice to Jason.
“Looks like a demon general sealed away in the Age of Myth. The seal is breaking after a long time, so maybe a stronger monster will come out. If you don’t touch that seal, he’ll be a good hunting ground. He is good at training and can get a lot of good by-products from monsters.”
However, even Cedric Dick, the head of the adventurer’s guild in the capital, would not have known that Jason was going to break the seal.
It was a common method of dealing with this kind of sealing that the wizards and priests of the adventurer’s guild continued to supplement it.
It was an issue that could endanger him to the capital if the demon general were to be freed.
Of course, Jason was willing to take such a risk to become a superhuman.
