Chapter 8 – Chapter 8 Father
Jeffrey had a trick of his own.
Demeter was a second person with a lot of work to do, and it seemed that he would eventually become halfway big if he learned from this second person.
He intended to moderately frustrate him with a difficult test and assign him an outstanding teacher.
“If you give too much time, it won’t be a test. Let’s see Would it be enough for a year?”
Jason knew all about his father’s intentions.
And he needed to learn from Demeter for his plans.
Finally, he was prepared to pass such a test.
“No. Let’s do it for a month There’s so much to learn. I can’t spend a lot of time just cutting a knife.”
“One month? Haha. Let’s do it.”
“Instead, please appoint one person who can teach you the basics. Learning without a teacher can lead to bad habits.”
“Yes. Yes. You are right.”
Jeffrey was now curious about his son.
He went from being one of many children to being one of the most interested.
It was exactly what Jason had hoped for.
**
Jason was doing his strength training regularly.
Even if he learned magic, there was a big difference in survival rate between adventurers who could roll their bodies in an emergency and adventurers who couldn’t.
Jason now has his father’s permission.
My father said that it was okay to use a suitable low-level thief as a teacher in the main building.
The low-ranking thieves working for the Wolf family are low-ranking, but they are skilled enough to be the boss of a decent rural village.
Even if he was immediately put in as an adventurer, he had the skills to be treated as a veteran.
And unlike Demeter, who could not be replaced by anyone as her father’s right-hand man, it didn’t matter if she was a low-level thief as a teacher.
For the Wolf family, low-level thieves were an easily replaceable human resource.
Jason walked around the main house, being careful not to catch the eyes of the other siblings.
Fortunately for him, the main house was huge, and he had no chance to meet other family members unless there were dire circumstances.
A lot of people were working here.
The dark business run by the Wolf family was not one or two.
And all the reports gathered in this main building.
Those who run a business.
And those who serve him.
These were the people who made money by leaning on Jeffrey Wolf’s prestige.
They fear Jeffrey Wolf more than anyone else.
Jason watched them one by one.
Superman can deal with 10,000 people.
However, Superman could not extort taxes from millions of people.
Instead, they needed people to do the job.
And Jason could easily figure out who he should be friends with.
He had the ability to open the opponent’s status window.
This world was a place where those with ability soon succeeded.
Being able to check that ability based on level was a huge benefit.
In addition, even if the level was low, those who were born with good abilities were like buried gemstones.
Then Jason found a gemstone buried in mud.
Name: Spear.
Past Life: Mediana.
Level: Rogue 7.
Strength: 52.
Agility: 85.
Intelligence: 62.
Charm: 80.
The level is not high.
It is barely enough to enter this mansion.
However, his innate agility was tremendous.
It was the most important ability for thieves.
And she also had an attractive appearance, and it seemed that she came to the mansion in a role similar to that of a secretary because of this.
Beside her, a man of moderately high level was giggling.
If no one helped, it seemed that in this world where strength equals power, that woman would soon surrender.
Spear was looking at her floor with a puzzled expression.
“Spia. Look at this Are you in a position where I can come to report directly to the Wolf family? Do you know I’m doing this because I don’t want to treat you harshly? Come over in moderation.”
“Yes… Yes.”
Then 11-year-old Jason appeared.
That man was about level 51.
Definitely not a level to be ignored anywhere.
However, as soon as he checked Jason’s face to see if he knew all of the direct lineage of the Wolf family, he instantly erased the face he had been gagging at the woman and smiled.
“Oh my. Master Jason! I will post my greetings. He is said to be Lloyd, who is managing the Olka area.”
Jason had a past life where he was betrayed and killed just because he was not related.
It felt dirty to get something with that bloodline.
But he couldn’t help it.
The only power he had now was his father’s prestige.
‘But he has one more reason to grow his strength quickly.’
Jason tried to get rid of Lloyd in moderation.
“Ah. Olka. It’s outside the capital, but I know it’s a place where taxes come out well. I heard from my father.”
Of course, he had never heard of such a thing.
Jeffrey was not a father telling business stories to an 11-year-old.
He was only partially entrusting his business to a bastard who did at least one serving.
But Jason’s plain lie made Lloyd even more scared.
If the relationship between parents and children was this close, of course, I had to do my best to live.
“Looking at Mr. Lloyd. I can see why it works so well. I’ll tell my father well next time.”
“Oh my. Young master. If you say so, I can only thank you. Please find me if you need anything. I will save you at all costs.”
Stupid Lloyd fell into Jason’s trap at once.
She walked in on her own feet.
“Oh yeah? I just need something.”
“Yes? Yes Just say anything.”
“Actually, when I told my father that I would walk the path of a thief, my father told me to choose a teacher himself. Perhaps that, too, is a kind of father’s test. To find a good teacher.”
“Ah? Is that so? Certainly, Bocchan has reached the age to do so. Ah? If? Me? Ahahaha! If I become a teacher, I will do my best to teach you.”
Lloyd let go of the futility.
I had absolutely no desire for Jason to have such a stupid, woman-crazy man as his teacher.
“No. There is a woman next to me.”
Lloyd felt like he had been hit by Jason’s words.
I was dumbfounded.
Spear is a thief who recently joined her organization in her district, and because of her beautiful appearance, she herself has been working hard.
Using her powers, she can be taken by force, but she really wants to win this woman’s heart with her whole heart, to the point where she’s just giggling.
But until now, the young master wants the woman he has spit on.
“Ahahaha. Young master. By the way, there are many other good teachers, but wouldn’t the head of the family not like it very much if I chose a young woman?”
That was right.
But here, Jason played the dumb boy.
“Would a father just abandon his son for something like that? I don’t know what’s complicated. I want to learn from this woman why? Shouldn’t it?”
Lloyd had nothing to say when the young boy came out so recklessly.
Logic was weak to ignorant authority.
“Ahahaha… Yes… What… If so… I can’t help it.”
“Because my father told me to choose the teacher I wanted. It does. If she had any questions, she would ask her father.”
“No. No. That must be true.”
Lloyd bowed her head at Jason again.
“Then I have something to report. I’ll leave first. The child’s name is Spear. He doesn’t have many talents, so the young master will learn them all in no time. See you later.”
Lloyd’s head was complicated.
She had the displeasure of losing the woman she wanted.
At the same time, she had a feeling that she shouldn’t reveal this displeasure to the muppet of the Wolf family.
Lastly, if the young master gets tired of Spear, she had a small hope that she would have another chance.
Lloyd disappeared and Jason told Spear.
“Follow me.”
“Yes? Yes.”
Spia had a complicated state of mind.
She was a gifted thief by nature.
At a young age, she could have been the last member of the Wolf family.
But she wasn’t just talented at thievery.
She also had the talent of being beautiful.
However, that talent became both her strength and her weakness.
Now, even the young young master of the Wolf family could look up to him.
The two left the main building and rode a wagon to the annex.
We arrived at Jason’s room from the annex.
“Sit down please.”
“Yes.”
Jason looked at Spia once more.
She was definitely a gifted woman.
She has talent, but no matter how many subordinates she has, it’s not enough.
Ever since he was a Korean gangster in his previous life, he somehow managed to win the hearts of talented people and turn them into subordinates.
And when he thought of his subordinate in his previous life, Jason’s heart ached again.
They were her younger siblings who believed only in herself and followed her.
Her teeth trembled when she thought of the persecution she would have suffered after she died.
‘I have to make sure that this doesn’t happen at least this time.’
Jason spoke to Spia.
“As I said before, I need a teacher. But at first glance, he’s not that great a thief.”
“Then why me?”
“When a woman is shaking, she has a habit of saving her.”
It was half joking and half serious.
And at his words, Spia widened her eyes.
