Chapter 7 – Chapter 7 Father
“The reason is?”
Jason knew that his father liked him for the first time.
And what happened after that was important.
It was easy to break down the good feelings that were built just because they were bold.
The easiest way to build strength in this family was to win the love of the family head.
“You have to learn from the best to become the best. Aren’t you the best thief in the Empire?”
Jeffrey chuckled and laughed.
Countless people in this world dream of becoming superhuman and succeeding.
And the most classic way to become a superman is to form an adventurer party, explore ancient ruins, kill monsters, and steal the treasure.
And in the adventurer’s party, thieves were essential, but they were also treated condescendingly.
A warrior who deflected an attack from the front ranks was respected.
Wizards who exploding flames to wipe out countless enemies became feared.
Priests who heal wounds and resurrect the dead were appreciated.
However, thieves who checked and disarmed traps in advance, identified the enemy’s weaknesses, and stabbed them were treated with contempt.
It was necessary, but menial work.
Now Jeffrey is also feared by everyone as he is given the title of Dark Ball, but those who ventured with him had a much better place.
The warrior became the Grand Duke of the North.
The wizard became the owner of the Mage Tower.
The clergy became cardinals.
However, the thief was only able to dominate the underworld in the end.
So Jeffrey gave his gifted sons and daughters other jobs.
Tigris, the eldest son, is a warrior.
The second daughter, Daphne, is a sorceress.
The third daughter, Taleia, is a priest.
However, the youngest son, who seems to have the most promise among them, says he will follow the same path as his father.
His father is the best, so I will follow him.
I couldn’t help but look pretty.
And since Geoffrey is his youngest son who looks pretty, he rather tried to stop him from walking the path of a thief.
“No matter how strong a thief becomes, it is difficult to become the best. That… “
Jason interrupted before his father could finish his sentence.
It was something that would never have happened in this family.
If Jason had said anything out of the ordinary, he would have been under fire.
“Then I will show you that I can be the best.”
Jeffrey was greatly surprised.
Until now, he had only thought of his children as successors to the Wolf family.
He honed his powers so he only thought about becoming a new superman.
With that alone, Jeffrey was satisfied.
In the end, the power of a family depended on the quality of the superman it possessed.
But Jason had gone beyond that and was sneaking up on what was lacking in Jeffrey’s life.
Haha!!!”
It can be said that it is the stroke of a child.
These words were stimulating Jeffrey’s emotions.
Jeffrey laughed out loud for a while before finally calming down.
I felt good.
However, he would never have become a dark ball if he acted only with his feelings.
“But it will be a difficult road. It will be difficult to achieve with blood alone. If it was possible with talent alone, he would have recommended Daphne to become a thief.”
“Yes, I know.”
“You know? Then tell me what difficulties you may have.”
Jason did a lot of studying after his regression.
Originally, even if you tried to create a night business, you had to compare and analyze all the shops that are doing well now and those that are failing, and bring the factors that work well and discard the factors that fail quickly.
This was what he always did when he was a gangster in Korea.
Fortunately, in this world, the achievements of many superhumans were passed down as history.
What kind of adventurer succeeds and becomes a superman?
And which adventurers fail.
What skills each adventurer displayed for which job.
All of this entered Jason’s brain and was forming its own conclusions.
“It is not because a superman can monopolize power and wealth simply because he has power. Because they have the power to control the majority.”
“Hoo. Keep talking.”
“The strongest warrior is often said to be able to deal with 10,000 soldiers. In actual history, there is also a record that Titus dealt with 5,000 soldiers alone on the bridge.”
Jason’s words continued.
“A wizard named Gaius completely destroyed a castle by dropping a meteor, and there is also a record of annihilating 3,000 soldiers guarding the castle in one night.”
“A priest? A priest doesn’t have the power to kill thousands at once alone?”
“The power of God exists through the clergy. No one fears God. A priest can move tens of thousands of people with the tip of his tongue. The people who make bread that even warriors and wizards must eat.”
Jeffrey was so happy that he clapped.
He didn’t look like his father who always went around with an expressionless face.
“Good night. Then can a thief have such power?”
“Doesn’t exist.”
Jason’s firm words made his father a little disappointed.
That was also a problem that he had been thinking about all his life, and it was a problem that he could not solve in the end.
Perhaps he was expecting his son to come up with an amazing solution because he was a genius that might come out once in a thousand years.
So the son’s answer was an obvious conclusion, but I felt disappointed.
Jason took aim at this time.
Originally, it was a law that good emotions were more amplified when people felt multiple emotions than when they felt only one emotion.
The ability to roast and boil the gangster chairman and rise to number 3 still remained.
“But a rogue who can assassinate any warrior, mage, or cleric. You can control warriors, mages, and priests leading tens of thousands of troops.”
Jeffrey laughed again.
It was nice to hear.
Practical problems still remain.
“But a superman is not otherwise called a superman. It was never easy to assassinate warriors, wizards, and priests who reached the level of superhumans. I have to risk my life too. And the odds of success are never more than half.”
It was a losing business.
So Jeffrey is a rogue who has risen to the top and is good at assassination, but he did not threaten other superhumans with assassination.
“Yes. I will do that.”
“It must be difficult.”
“But there are possibilities.”
“Would you like me to explain that?”
“If I show my everything, my father will make a judgment and cut the possibilities. And if it’s likely to fail, you’ll dry it. I am confident in my plan. We will show it through action rather than explanation.”
Jason said what Jeffrey used to say.
“Isn’t it better to cut a knife at once than to say a thousand words?”
Haha!!”
Father was in a good mood.
As a father, he loved his children the most when the children looked like him.
In the meantime, the other children were subtly different from him.
Tigris had a similar face and body, but had an overly cautious personality.
Daphne resembled her own in talent, but she was a woman after all.
However, this little youngest son is mediocre in talent, but his hair and personality are exactly like him.
It was about carefully planning and boldly rushing forward.
As long as he succeeded, he was just as he was when he was young.
“Good night. Then I will allow you to receive thief training. First of all, I will find out the best teacher to lay the foundation.”
“I also want to choose a teacher.”
“Is there a teacher you want?”
“Yes.”
Geoffrey was the master of the underworld and the dark ball of thieves.
There were plenty of good thieves under him.
“Which teacher do you want?”
“Demeter.”
“Hmm.”
Geoffrey intended to save any good teacher, but Demeter was different.
Demeter.
He was Jeffrey’s right hand.
Aside from Geoffrey, he was the strongest rogue and also the best in the Empire when it comes to assassination skills alone.
Of course, it was clear that if the other skills that a thief had to do fell and the first attack failed, he would become weaker than other thieves of the same class.
So he was the only one who could do it.
And Lee In-ja was a busy position.
Jeffrey always had to stand in the center of the heavy weight, and Lee In-in had to take care of everything.
No matter how lovable the youngest son was, it was hard to give him away as a teacher.
“Demeter is busy. There is too much to do to be a teacher for one child.”
“Then is it absolutely impossible?”
Jason showed a new side.
He had previously been shown to be emotionally passionate and icy cold.
And the last one was whining like an 11-year-old child.
If Jason had behaved like this when he fell out of favor with his father, the cold-hearted Jeffrey would have distanced himself from him immediately.
However, seeing his son with a bright future like this, Jeffrey showed a hearty smile like his other fathers.
He would do anything for Jason.
“Hmm. Then let’s do this Do you know how to test adventurers in the Adventurers Guild?”
“Yes! An adventurer who uses a knife should at least be able to kill a monster stronger than a human with a single knife. So I heard that there is a test of wrapping straw around bamboo and cutting it at once.”
Bamboo is similar in strength to bone.
And when the straw was wrapped tightly, it had a similar effect to that of a muscle.
Cutting both tough straw and hard bamboo at the same time was an effective test method.
“You did a lot of research.”
“Of course, those who know how to use sex and magic are tested separately. I thought they would cut bamboo for me who wanted to become a thief.”
“Whoops. Good night. But cutting a single bamboo is too easy. Try cutting two bamboos with one sword. Then I will give you Demeter as your teacher.”
