I Became the Genius Bastard of a Noble Dark Clan – 12

Chapter 12

Episode 12

BANG!!

Count Kazar burst into Chris’s room, emitting a blazing aura of darkness.

Chris, red-faced and drunk, greeted his father.

“Father? Hiccup.”

“What are you doing?!”

“What are you doing? You’re just drinking during the day. Drinking during the day is the best. Would you like a drink, Dad?”

Count Kazar clenched his fists as he looked at Chris, who was very drunk.

The employees next to him were holding their breath as the atmosphere seemed as if they would slap the son in the face at any moment.

Count Khazar turned around with his shoulders hunched.

“…Do as you wish. I won’t expect anything from you anymore.”

Chris thought to himself at those words.

‘Well, I’m a little sorry. But I can’t tell you in advance.’

His appearance now is all an act.

To catch a rat.

The rat cub saw him being debauched again and took action, and Chris planned to turn that around and exterminate the rat cub.

But he couldn’t explain the plan to Count Kazar in advance.

‘There is a saying that if you want to deceive your enemy, you must first deceive your own allies.’

If Count Khazar had known in advance, it would have been obvious somehow, and the rat would have been more cautious and not fallen into the trap so easily.

‘Seeing that kind of thing makes me feel uneasy. But what I’m trying to do is also good for the Countess of Kazar.’

At that moment, a banshee came up from the side and rustled.

[Ohhoho… Are you worried about your father? Our young master… is very filial.]

“…That damn Wattah, please stop!”

[What is it, what is it, why are you like that? The girl… please have a drink.]

Banshee uses the poltergeist phenomenon to pour Chris a drink.

I’ve been living and receiving alcohol from a banshee for the past year.

It was an experience I never want to have again.

[By the way… you came up with such a plan. Girl… I’m truly impressed.]

Banshee had heard of Chris’s plan and decided to cooperate with him.

Instead, he later decided to grant Banshee one request, as long as it wasn’t too much of a hassle.

[There’s something even more… amazing. You improved the 4-star… cursed ‘Seal of Binding’. And in such a short amount of time.]

Last fortnight.

He didn’t just train his body.

I also learned various black magic.

I learned the basic 1-star black magic, and I didn’t stop there, I also learned the 4-star curse black magic ‘Seal of Binding’.

Even for a genius, it’s impossible to learn 4-star spells at 1-star level, so how did he do it?

It has been improved.

Even he can use it as he is a 1-star level.

“I told you, I’m a genius.”

Chris spoke calmly and took a sip of his drink.

Then he frowned.

‘Damn, I really want to drink.’

In fact, what he was drinking right now wasn’t real alcohol.

Because the Banshee who had agreed to cooperate did not allow it.

[Ohhoho… You are a minor, my lord. You can’t drink real alcohol. You must be satisfied with fake alcohol.]

“…I’m a loser, so what does it matter?”

[But underage drinking is not allowed. Absolutely not. Ohohoho…]

On the subject of ghosts seeking virgin blood, the banshee was a uselessly old-fashioned one in this regard.

Thanks to that, I was drinking alcohol by removing the alcoholic aura from it using my alchemy knowledge from my previous life.

The fact that I look drunk is because I acted with a secret technique I learned in my previous life.

He has mastered all the tricks of the world, including the trick of making someone look drunk without being drunk.

‘Anyway, let’s take this opportunity to get some rest. It’s a shame it’s not real alcohol, though.’

He loved to play, eat, and be lazy.

I was thinking of really getting some rest while I was pretending to be a loser.

‘Good! It might not be such a bad thing if the little rat gets caught in the trap late. It can play, eat, drink, and be lazy more.’

It was when I was trying to enjoy my long-awaited break to the fullest.

Crash, the door opened violently again.

When I turned my head, an unexpected person appeared.

‘Tern?’

This body was my younger brother.

Tern was glaring at him, grinning.

‘Why is he like that?’

Chris was slightly embarrassed.

Tern approached him with a flushed face.

And then.

Wow.

Grabbed him by the collar.

“!!”

“What are you doing?!”

Tern suddenly got angry.

“Is this all there was to it?! Are you saying that you were trying to show off just to look like this?!”

Chris looked surprised.

I read the genuine anger in Tern’s eyes.

It was unexpected.

‘Didn’t you hate this body?’

It’s true that you hate it.

But it didn’t seem like it was just a simple dislike.

If that were the case, he wouldn’t have shown such genuine anger.

It was disappointing.

And disappointment comes from expectations. Expectations that things will be different than before.

You wouldn’t have such expectations from someone you simply despise and hate.

‘I guess he thought of me as his brother.’

After thinking about it that far, Chris came to a conclusion.

As expected, Tern is not the culprit.

The rat cub was separate.

then.

‘I guess I’ll have to use Tern.’

Chris opened his mouth.

“Let go.”

“…what?”

“Let go.”

At the moment when Tern was about to get angry.

Their eyes met.

“!!”

Tern’s pupils shook faintly.

I felt something strange.

He was lying around in a debaucherous manner, but it was different from the previous days when he was a bum.

The heavy weight he had felt last time weighed down on Tern once again.

Chris raised his hand and released her collar.

To his dismay, Tern was unable to resist the touch and retreated helplessly.

It’s not a matter of strength, it’s a matter of momentum.

“I just ask you one thing. What am I to you?”

“…….”

Tern kept his mouth shut.

What is it?

A disgrace to the family. A disgusting bloodline.

That was what Tern thought his older brother, Christian, was.

but.

That day, after the bare-handed duel.

His thoughts were cracked.

Tern thought about it for a while and then answered.

“Originally, to me, my brother was just a piece of trash that made me feel disillusioned just by looking at him. I wish I could just throw him away somewhere forever.”

It was a blunt expression.

“now?”

“…This is someone I really want to trample on.”

Chris laughed heartily.

It means that he acknowledged them as his competitors.

But I was angry because he came back in such a pitiful state.

“Yes, Tern. Do you think this guy has turned into the disillusioned scum he used to be?”

“…….”

no.

I could tell intuitively.

Then why does it look like this?

“…Is there some intention behind it?”

“Yeah, I think there’s a rat in the family.”

“!!”

Chris briefly revealed his plan.

Tern opened his eyes wide.

“Is it true that there is a rat in the family?”

“Yes. It’s hard to say exactly who it is yet, but there is definitely someone there.”

“How dare you…!!”

Terne was busy gritting his teeth.

“So I have a favor to ask of you.”

“If you could please?”

Chris looked at Tern.

Unlike this person who is a scoundrel, this young master is a model student who is recognized by his family.

And yet, as a child, I was free from the gaze of others.

He was the perfect person to be entrusted with the job.

“Come closer.”

Chris whispered to Tern.

Tern’s eyes widened as he heard the specific story.

* ? ?* ? ?*

After that, Chris enjoyed a life of debauchery and debauchery.

I could sleep as long as I wanted, eat as much as I wanted, and I couldn’t drink alcohol… but I could do whatever I wanted with everything else.

It was sweet.

‘As expected from a prestigious family. The food is also delicious.’

It would have been great, except that the person serving was a ghost.

Of course, it wasn’t completely a waste of time.

I learned black magic while pretending to laze around in bed.

Because you can learn magic even while lying in bed.

‘The contents of the books I read in the library are all in my head, so all I have to do is lie in bed and master them.’

Thanks to this, my spellcasting skills have improved rapidly, and I am now able to skillfully use a significant number of 1-star black magic spells.

Now, wherever you go, you will be called a first-star warlock.

And then he started to act violently from time to time.

If you just eat and drink quietly, you won’t look like a troublemaker.

He acted like a real rascal, enough to make the little rat quickly fall into the trap and spring into action.

“What is this?”

“Why, why are you doing this, Young Master?”

“The wine I ordered wasn’t like this. Call the butler!”

“Well, the butler is busy right now….”

“Are you busy? Then I’ll go and find you myself. Hiccup.”

When he got to the office, the butler, who had become lost in thought, got up from his seat in a hurry and greeted Chris.

“Your Majesty, what, what is the matter…?”

Instead of answering,

Chomp!

The white suit of the vampire butler, who had spilled the wine Chris had poured on him, turned red.

Butler Cox’s face turned red with anger.

Chris looked at the sight and smiled inwardly.

‘I can’t just bully anyone.’

So, he was focusing on the most suspicious butler and causing trouble.

He would often come to me and pick a fight, and he would find fault with me and do harm to me.

‘Are you going to hold out this time too?’

His neatly trimmed beard trembled.

But surprisingly, the butler controlled his anger this time too.

“Oh, is there something that is causing you this? If there is anything wrong, I will correct it.”

Chris said, “Wow.”

You can’t even hold it in after pouring wine on yourself.

The patience was amazing.

“The servant brought the wrong wine. Is this the butler ignoring me?”

“No way! I’ll have it brought to you right away!”

“Bring it yourself.”

“…yes?”

“Don’t order the things below, have the butler bring them himself.”

The butler paused.

Chris didn’t miss the butler’s eyes rolling anxiously, then stopping at a certain part of the paperwork.

“That’s… I had something to take care of.”

“Are you going to work like that? You’ll have to change your clothes anyway, right?”

The butler’s face trembled with laughter.

He seemed to be barely holding back his anger at the fact that he was the one who poured the wine.

“I’m telling you to take special care of my butler. Don’t worry, I’ll be guarding this place. Or are you really ignoring me?”

“Oh, no. Then I’ll be back soon.”

When he suddenly lost his temper, the butler had no choice but to go out.

He seemed to have let his guard down, thinking that that punk wouldn’t have the ability to read the documents.

When he was left alone, Chris’s eyes lit up.

‘Let’s see what kind of tricks he’s up to.’

Chris was pretty sure the butler was a rat.

‘If not… I’m sorry, um. No. That’ll be right.’

If the butler was really a rat hiding in the Countess of Kazar, there was a high possibility that the administration was up to something.

And Chris, unlike the diehard minions, was very good at reading these documents.

What do the numbers mean?

What items are strange?

I could tell just by looking at it.

and.

During the short time it took the butler to change clothes and bring the wine.

“bingo.”

Chris smiled faintly.

I found what I was looking for.
