Chapter 29 – Chapter 29 the Heirs
Jason’s brothel was being built step by step.
He shared his ideas with Tria, and Tria, who had connections at the bottom, began to handle many tasks on behalf of Jason.
Jason was also busy with his own practice.
‘And you have to open the lid to know whether my ideas from Korea will work or not.’
And there was a new change in training.
In the first place, it was Demeter’s lessons that he decided to pass and take his father’s test.
Demeter caught a glimpse of Jason’s strike and said,
“It’s good to use a ranged weapon when a bandit makes an assault. Dagger. A bow would be worth recommending.”
“No crossbow?”
Jason, who was familiar with firearms, thought of a crossbow similar to that.
He thought throwing a dagger or a crossbow would be much easier to learn than a bow.
“Not a very good idea. The crossbow is more cumbersome than I thought, so it gets in the way of thieves who need to move quickly.”
“Then let’s practice bow and dagger throwing together.”
“Yes. And the reason why the young master wanted me as a teacher was to learn the art of assassination, right?”
It was the correct answer.
Demeter and Geoffrey are the same rogue, but they specialize in different fields.
Demeter was an outright assassin.
He hides in the dark and pours everything into the first attack.
After that, it had the disadvantage of being weaker than other thieves, but that didn’t matter to Jason.
‘Anyway, compared to other thieves, the longer the battle, the more disadvantageous it is. I don’t care if it gets worse.’
Superhumans also had superiority and inferiority.
And Jason had big plans.
Demeter said to Jason.
“In order to learn the art of assassination, you don’t have to do a lot of assassination. It should be at least twice as strong as your current sneak attack.”
“Then you have two homework. Cutting four straw bamboos at once. And being able to use covert attacks with ranged weapons.”
“You are young. Then, when you finish that homework, please visit me again.”
Jason bowed his head to Demeter and thanked him for the small teaching.
Demeter also began to look forward to the growth of this young child.
**
Even though a day is not enough to practice, Jason also had to participate in family events.
Today was the engagement day between Idad Palmo, the fifth prince, and Taleia, the third daughter of the Wolf family.
The stories between the families had already been told, but publicizing them properly was another story.
Participation in such events could determine one’s place in the family.
Geoffrey was accompanied by his eldest son, Tigris, his second daughter, Daphne, and his youngest son, Jason.
In the large banquet hall of the imperial family, numerous nobles were talking about the Wolf family’s progress.
And at the center of the topic was Thalaia.
She was wearing gorgeous makeup and a luxurious dress.
Jason greeted her.
“Congratulation. I’ve announced this to everyone. There must be only one thing left.”
Talearia was happy that she was not just her fiancée, but that she had been officially announced.
“Okay. These days, there is no talk of hanging out. What’s up?”
“Still, I am a member of the Wolf family, but I can’t go to prostitutes every day. Don’t worry, she’s enjoying herself by making personal connections.”
It was a lie based on facts.
Tria alone could not open a business.
Tria became Jason’s minion and she was hooking up with several prostitutes.
Of course, the news was reaching Talleia too, and she gave Jason a pat on the shoulder, thinking that her Jason was doing this to satisfy her own lust.
“Okay. Body shape doesn’t matter either. Let me know if you need anything in the future.”
“Yes. Sister.”
And the Wolf family took their seats in the center of the banquet hall.
Geoffrey just sat there solemnly and just listened to the other nobles come and say hello.
And Tigris and Daphne were traveling around to make friends with other powerful people.
Not many people spoke to Jason.
It was just the second time he showed his face to aristocratic society.
The nobles were eagerly considering young Jason’s position in the Wolf family and his future.
The Wolf family reached out to several princes and princesses at the same time, but that was not an easy task for most families.
The Wolf family has two superhumans in it, so they can handle it even if they are caught doing it, but in other families, if they are caught doing it, they are often hated by both sides.
There were many cases where he clumsily approached his youngest son and had a bigger enemy.
No one approached him, so Jason himself ate the food spread here and there and watched the people. Then he saw a person.
Son of Tigris. It was Igris.
He wasn’t allowed to accompany the family head, but he was still talking to young nobles here and there, as if he was trying to establish a network in aristocratic society in advance.
And it wasn’t Jason’s illusion that he was talking more with young noblewomen.
“Nephew. I thought he wasn’t coming to the imperial banquet because he wasn’t by my father’s side, but he’s here.”
Igris’ face twisted.
He was working on a pretty noble lady and was on the verge of succeeding by selling Wolf’s name.
However, a young guy approached me while squeaking in short words.
The aristocratic lady’s attention had already shifted to Jason, not Igris.
And although this Gris was angry, he still had vivid memories of being beaten by Jason.
Obviously a warrior and stronger, there was no way he could not defeat the young rogue, but his body trembled.
“To call Mr. Igris my nephew. Who is this?”
Even when the aristocratic lady asked for an introduction, Igris was speechless.
The body was engulfed in fear.
“My name is Jason Wolf.”
“Ah. The youngest son who is loved by the Wolf family these days? I heard he’s 11 years old, but he’s pretty big.”
The aristocratic lady treated Jason as if she were looking at her cute little brother.
“Ah. Then he must be between nephew and uncle.”
The aristocratic lady seemed eager to continue the conversation, but Jason had already lost interest.
He was just a boring young lady living off her parents’ legacy with no particular level.
It was much better to watch Igris bewildered than that.
It was the only pleasure in a boring banquet.
And it wasn’t just Jason who was tired of this banquet.
Jeffrey was bored too.
It was to the point of envying the emperor who had the power not to come to such a banquet.
So he found the youngest son with whom he could speak.
He ordered his men to bring Jason to a small room in the banquet hall.
He had the food set out there.
I don’t know the name of him, but he spread silk that was as expensive as a healing potion.
Not long after, Jason came in.
“Are you enjoying the banquet?”
“Can you have fun? It’s only idiots who believe they can’t make it on their own who care about positions like this. Those who are trying to build connections.”
Jason was tired of the banquet and made a sharp noise, which pleased Jeffrey.
“Okay. That’s a good thing. It would be helpful to enter more dungeons and swing the sword one more time at this time. But that is.”
And Jeffrey taught his son a new lesson.
“Yes.”
Jason took the attitude of taking his father’s words to heart one by one.
“But this kind of time is also necessary. There is no need to share friendship or love with those who have given up on reaching higher levels. But when dogs gather together, they drive away tigers. A tiger should know at least what dogs do for a living.”
The short instruction is over.
This is how Jeffrey always taught his children.
Speak briefly and concisely.
And it was up to his son to fully realize it and make it his own.
After teaching, there was always a test.
Jason was always grateful that he had memories of his previous life.
There were a few things I realized while living as a gangster in Korea.
It was a great help in understanding Jeffrey’s teachings and passing the test.
“There are a lot of stories out there about the marriage alliance between the Wolf family and the Imperial family right now, right?”
“Yes. I heard the rough things while walking around the banquet.”
“Tell me what you heard.”
Ha-su enjoys the banquet without thinking.
This is the story of a guy like Igris.
Joong-soo builds friendships as light as a feather with those who will help him in the future.
He thinks that those feathers will become his wings later.
Of course, it was a feather that would fall in numbers if it met a gust of wind.
Tigris and Daphne were like that.
Then what about the youngest son?
Jeffrey was amused by this anticipation.
“Originally, the imperial family rules firmly, but in any world where there is light, there is darkness. No country is without darkness. And the Darkness of the Palmo Empire is in charge of the Wolf family.”
The start was good.
This little child already has a grasp of what the world is going on.
