I Became the Genius Bastard of a Noble Dark Clan – 183

Chapter 183

Episode 183

“…I am the grandson of the poisonous Maga. And even after doing such a thing….”

“What does it matter? Our two families are on the verge of fighting each other anyway. Wouldn’t it be better to cut off your head and stick it in the dark ages of our family to boost morale?”

Hubert’s body trembled as he looked into Chris’s cold, sunken eyes.

Then Chris snickered.

“Of course, I don’t intend to kill you, so don’t be too scared. If you’re that scared just because I pointed a knife at you, you’ll look like a real loser.”

“…What, what did you say?”

“I’ll just lock you up, so just obey. You seem like a pretty useful piece of equipment.”

“This… this…! Cowardly…!”

“Didn’t you know I was a bad guy? Then, what made you come to me without a plan?”

Chris grumbled and spoke to Merlin, who was standing next to him.

“Please take care of him. Make sure he is in a comfortable position without any unnecessary thoughts. Make sure the restraints are fastened tightly.”

Chris didn’t stop there.

“Marie, you must be having trouble moving around because of the restraints, so you take care of her separately.”

It was unreasonable to torture him out of the blue since he only had circumstantial evidence.

But direct physical torture wasn’t necessarily the only method.

‘Mental torture is effective but not irritating.’

Marie was an expert in her field.

“If you look closely, you might find out that Archduke Hubert, who is impressed by your presence, might tell you something important.”

The story was about using psychological torture to get Hubert to confess his feelings.

[I understand what you said. This is your request, my lord. I will do my best to serve you with all my heart and soul.]

“Wh, what…! Let go!”

As Hubert shouted, Marie smiled innocently and said.

[Ohhoho… So cute. Do you want to die? Or should I pull out your noisy tongue first?]

“!!”

Hubert’s face turned pale at the cool air he felt from Ososo Marie.

[Then, please come here. As per your order, I will serve you with my ‘sincere heart’, so from now on, we will spend many affectionate times together.]

So Hubert was dragged away.

You’ll be under a lot of mental attacks from Marie throughout your imprisonment.

‘You don’t seem to have much mental strength, so you’ll probably have to confess something.’

It was an unexpected windfall.

And there was more unexpected income.

“What is this?”

“These are the belongings confiscated from him.”

There were plenty of poisons and antidotes.

But Chris noticed another item: a communications port.

‘Is this the family’s direct communication channel?’

Chris fiddled with the communication port here and there.

It was under high security, but Chris was determined to dig it up and dismantle it.

Chris contacted the other side.

-Hubert? What’s going on? The situation is urgent. Why aren’t you coming back to the family home?

A familiar voice I’ve heard before.

It was Duke Huam, the head of the poisonous Maga clan!

“I am not Archduke Hubert. I am Christian. I greet His Highness the Duke.”

-No, Archduke Christian? How about this communication port?

A tone of bewilderment was conveyed.

First, Chris hid the fact that he had Hubert in custody.

“Archduke Hubert is resting in his own room. I have borrowed the communication device to speak to His Majesty the Duke about the unpleasant incident that occurred between the main family and the Maga family.”

As Christian mentioned this incident, a heavy tone was transmitted from the other end of the communication port.

-Let me be clear, this incident is not our fault, but the conspiracy of Marquis Goras. I absolutely do not wish to clash with the Dark Maga.

“Yes, I think so too. In the current situation, the only one who can benefit is Marquis Goras.”

-… I appreciate your consideration. However, the situation is not easy. If things continue this way, we will not be able to avoid conflict with your family.

It was definitely a difficult situation.

Marquis Goras made this matter Marisa’s responsibility.

If left alone, over a thousand people will die, so Dark Maga will hold Duke Huam responsible, and there will be a lot of bloodshed between them.

A situation where only Marquis Goras can laugh.

“Don’t worry about it. I’ll figure it out. There’s a way.”

-There is a way?

“yes.”

A surprised tone was conveyed.

“But I’m contacting you because I have something to tell you in advance.”

-What is it?

Chris spoke in a low voice.

“Do you remember what I told you before, Your Majesty?”

-If it’s about the story we talked about before… .

Duke Huam suddenly fell silent.

I remembered what Chris said.

“I asked for forgiveness even if I had to shed blood on the poisonous Maga if necessary.”

-… That’s what it was.

“I ask you again. Would you allow me to shed blood on the poisonous Maga?”

It would have been nice to have it pointed out once.

Make no mistake, Chris wasn’t trying to resolve this peacefully.

There will be a lot of bloodshed.

-…I will tolerate it.

A heavy answer came back.

-Pain is needed to remove a boil. As the head of the poisonous Maga family, I ask you to help remove the rotten aspects of my family.

Chris nodded.

“I have one more thing to tell you.”

-What is it?

“If I could solve this situation perfectly.”

Chris told us the real purpose of this event.

“Please help me obtain the essence of the extremely poisonous Maga, the ‘Poison Well’.”

Dokjeong.

It was the source of the power of the poisonous Maga.

A power that will transform Chris into a being that is one level above simple poison.

There was a long silence beyond the communication port.

I was taken aback by Chris’s request.

-… Are you talking about the byproduct of processing poison?

“No, I’m talking about the ‘source.’”

-… Are you talking about something that you know what toxicity is?

“Of course, of course I know.”

therefore.

‘Dokjeong’ was similar to ‘Seongheuk’ of the Dark Maga.

The source of power that turns the minds of the poisonous Maga into true poisonous people.

Even in the most poisonous Maga, only the most skilled Minds could obtain it.

“Unlike the Dark Maga’s Darkness, the Poison Maga’s Poison can be accessed by anyone, even if they are not blood relatives, as long as they have the qualifications, so they can somehow come up with a justification.”

-You call that talking…?!

Duke Huam suddenly raised his voice.

-Don’t you know that if you’re not a master of our poison magic to the extreme, the moment you step into the poison, you’ll turn into a handful of blood?!

This was the reason why, unlike Seongheuk, Dokjeong was opened to others within the family, not just blood relatives.

The process of absorbing the poison was extremely dangerous.

The achievement level had to be high, and one had to perfect one’s own concept of poison in order to absorb it into the body without dissolving into it.

Since it is rare for someone to come along with this qualification every few years, it is open to those who are not blood relatives of the family.

-Absolutely not. It would be suicidal for you to challenge the dictatorship, regardless of the opposition of other members of our poisonous Maga.

But then Chris told an absurd story.

“So, do I just need to be qualified?”

-…what?

“I don’t think it will take long.”

The reaction was that it was absurd.

-It won’t take long? Even if you spend your whole life learning poison, you can’t guarantee it.

It was a natural reaction.

Even the most poisonous Maga, who has practiced poison for decades, cannot easily challenge the poison.

“Don’t worry about that. I will take on the challenge after I have fully prepared. Later, when I am qualified, please help me obtain the Dokjeong.”

-under.

A hollow laugh leaked out from beyond the communication port.

The reaction is that it is impossible.

But Chris didn’t back down.

‘Independence is absolutely necessary for the future.’

His goal was not just a slightly stronger demon lord.

The level he desires is the power to rule the Magic Empire alone.

So, like the Demon King of Destruction, the founder of the Dark Maga.

No, it was a power that surpassed even that of the Demon King of Destruction.

But no matter how much of a genius he was, there was a limit to his growth through simple training alone.

From now on, I had to get everything I could get.

‘In particular, Dokjeong is not only helpful in using poison.’

Just as the Darkness had completely changed his nature, the Dokjeong would also transform him into another being.

Above all, it was essential to achieving his primary goal of creating a Taoist realm.

-… If you say so, I understand. I will help you obtain the monopoly.

A bitter voice continued.

-But that’s only if we can resolve this issue. If things continue like this, the dictatorship and everything will be over.

If Marquis Goras’s plot could not be thwarted, both Marisa and Duke Huam would be finished.

Marisa will be held responsible and killed, and Duke Huam will be brought down.

“Don’t worry. It will be Marquis Goras who will kneel.”

Chris said in a firm voice.

“As the Grand Duke of the Dark Maga, I say that Marquis Goras will pay the price for daring to use my family for his own schemes.”

* * *

We have made full preparations to resolve the situation.

They didn’t set off straight to the western territory.

There was a place to stop.

It was Ruina’s gambling house.

“go.”

“All in!”

“Huh? Are you kidding me? You’re not trying to trick me, are you?”

As always, Chris was so excited that he robbed the casino to summon Ruina.

‘I’ve been really stressed out lately. How long am I going to have to suffer like this?’

Chris frowned inwardly.

I was struggling with the feeling that I had no choice, but a feeling of injustice would suddenly well up within me.

‘Originally, all I wanted was to live the life of a rich bum!’

Perhaps because of that feeling of oppression, he overindulged a bit, and Ruina, who had heard the urgent news that a demon had appeared at the workplace, appeared with a pale face.

“Long time no see?”

“That… that’s right. Ahaha….”

“How is Evan doing?”

“…Yes, yes. I often talk about Confucius. Sir Evan too. What’s good about a bad guy like you…ah, no, haha, tell me a story I haven’t heard.”

Ruina, a pretty woman with a neat appearance, forced a smile on her face that had been chewed.

‘Ugh! When will I ever be able to break ties with that guy!’

A reaction as if meeting a compatible mother.

It’s not just about robbing another casino.

There was a reason.

‘You’re making me do this ridiculous thing again!!’

Ruina thought back to what Chris had told her to do and internally grabbed her hair.

‘Evan Sir is really a total idiot! What, this demon is actually good at heart? How much hair has fallen out from stress because of this demon! I’m going bald!’

Meanwhile, Chris tilted his head.

“You don’t look so happy? You asked me for a chance to make a lot of money.”

“T-That’s what I’m saying!! Didn’t I say I had to do something like this?”

“Why? It’s not like it was as hard as the Gold Cross.”

Ruina made a face that said her heart was pounding.

“That’s not it, but isn’t it much more dangerous! This is an act that will completely turn the poisonous Maga into an enemy!!”

I didn’t know at first.

I thought he was going to pull some tricks when he just told me to eat the poisonous Maga.

‘This is too much! If I had known this was going to happen, I would never have done it!’
