I Became the Genius Bastard of a Noble Dark Clan – 198

Chapter 198

Episode 198

[…what is it?]

Chris raised the corners of his mouth as he looked at Marquis Goras.

“Secondly, please have Marquis Goras personally bow his head to me, Marisa, and Dark Maga and apologize.”

“!!”

“In this place.”

Bowing down to him, the most powerful man in the Maga dynasty, in front of everyone.

The color drained from Marquis Goras’s face.

His voice sank like an abyss.

“You… do you want to die? How dare you talk nonsense.”

“You’re talking nonsense?”

Chris’s face turned cold.

“Do you find the wrath of the Dark Maga funny? How dare you raise your voice after committing such a crime against your family?”

“…….”

“Remember, I am here to represent the Dark Maga. If you do not show sufficient sincerity in repenting your sins, negotiations will break down, and you and the Dark Maga will pay the price.”

Chris spoke to the Demon King of Cheongryu this time.

“Let me be clear, if Marquis Goras does not offer a proper apology, we Dark Maga will not accept this negotiation. Furthermore, we will formally inform the central government of the crimes that Marquis Goras committed against His Majesty the Emperor and make them public.”

The intestines became quiet.

Marquis Goras’s hands shook with anger.

A sinister gaze that seemed ready to turn Chris into a handful of blood at any moment.

But Chris just gave her a quizzical look.

At that moment, a hand was placed on Chris’ shoulder, giving him strength.

“Don’t forget the motto of our poisonous family, Bugajoo. Even though you handle poison, you must not bring shame to heaven.”

“!!”

“In particular, Archduke Christian is showing mercy to the Duke of Budapest, so it is only right that he apologize and show his gratitude.”

It was the Duke of Huam!

Marquis Goras ground his teeth.

But in this situation, there was nothing I could do.

Because the cause was with Christian.

Finally, Marquis Goras opened his mouth, gritting his teeth.

“…Princess Marisa and you, I apologize to the Dark Maga.”

A great shock spread throughout the room.

An apology from Marquis Goras, who had reigned in fear over everyone. Shock swept over everyone.

Under the gaze of those extremely poisonous Maga Mines, the body of Marquis Goras was seen trembling.

My mind was dizzy with the humiliation of showing my shame in front of so many people.

But Chris didn’t stop there.

“Is that what you call an apology? You’re the head of a family, so you don’t even know how to apologize properly. Or, you’re not remorseful at all.”

“!!”

“If you truly feel truly sorry, then give a proper apology. Otherwise, our Dark Maga will not show you mercy.”

Everyone held their breath.

Marquis Goras’s body trembled.

The tension seemed ready to explode at any moment, but Christian did not back down.

In the end, it was the Marquis of Goras who raised the white flag.

He bowed his head towards Christian.

“…I sincerely apologize for this incident.”

A shock that was incomparable to that before spread across the place at that humiliating sight.

Even Christian trampled on the dignity of the Marquis de Goras until the end.

He nodded arrogantly and said this.

“I think you will feel a lot from this incident. Since I am showing you special mercy, please live the rest of your life uprightly with a reflective mind.”

“!!”

Marquis Goras was unable to come to his senses at this mad provocation.

My head turned white with anger and my whole body was shaking, but Christian spoke again.

“Wait a minute. There’s more.”

“…what?”

“You have caused damage to your family, so shouldn’t you pay compensation? I will demand compensation, so pay it. However, the condition is that it be paid entirely from your own pocket, not from the public funds of the Maga clan.”

The Marquis of Goras’s complexion turned pale for another reason.

It was obvious that they would demand astronomical compensation.

Even the Marquis of Goras, who had amassed enormous wealth, would have difficulty handling it.

Marquis Goras will become financially bankrupt.

‘It must be painful. Money must have been one of the means to sustain the power of Marquis Goras.’

It’s not something you can say, “What’s all this money for?”

Money was important, even in the Magic Empire.

Because maintaining power was impossible with force alone.

Anything required money. Even keeping his men loyal required money.

Of course, with someone like Marquis Goras, money could be collected again in no time; it was only a matter of time, but it was inevitable that cracks would appear in the foundation of power that had been firmly maintained.

But this was also not a situation that could be refused.

The Marquis of Goras gave Christian an eerie look as if he was definitely going to kill him, but Chris simply shrugged.

‘They’re going to try to kill me as soon as the penitence is over. Well, that doesn’t matter.’

By the time Marquis Goras finishes his punishment, everything will have changed.

‘This incident has completely destroyed the foundation.’

Marquis Goras gripped the poisonous Maga with fear.

The men of the Poison Maga, crushed by fear, did not dare to resist Marquis Goras.

So Chris deliberately humiliated Marquis Goras in front of everyone in the Poison Maga.

The people of Maga, who witnessed today’s events, will think about it.

Even Marquis Goras, who reigned with fear, was in fact just a human being with flaws.

Moreover, since I would be isolated for six months due to the penitential punishment, there was no way to deal with anyone who rebelled.

And then there’s financial ruin.

The power of the Marquis of Goras will suffer a great blow.

Christian’s punishment was like a great earthquake in the Marquis of Goras’s stronghold.

‘That’s really amazing.’

Meanwhile, Duke Huam, the head of the poisonous Maga family, shook his head in admiration at the sight of Christian.

If things had been normal, everything would have worked out as Marquis Goras had intended.

Dark Maga would have suffered a huge blow, and Marisa and Duke Huam would have fallen, bearing the brunt of their sins.

But thanks to Christian, everything turned around.

From first revealing the truth, to turning the tables with a surprise attack, to confidently achieving the desired results against the Demon King.

None of them were not great.

‘I envy the Dark Maga.’

Duke Huam thought bitterly.

Is it because his son betrayed him?

Christian looked even more desirable.

‘No, is it not too late?’

Duke Huam gave a secret look.

Marisa appeared.

Even though I was betrayed by the brother I trusted, I didn’t seem as shocked as I thought, but there was a reason.

When Christian tells Marissa the truth, he says it gives her peace of mind.

‘… If the two of you could get engaged again… No, this is too hasty of a thought.’

Duke Huam made an embarrassed face.

Originally, Christian was greedy and had a reckless idea.

‘Still, if I get the chance later, if possible…’

After thinking about it that far, Duke Huam shook his head and stood up from his seat.

The punishment that will be meted out to Marquis Goras is not over yet.

This time it was Duke Huam’s turn to step forward.

‘To be exact, this was also an idea that Archduke Christian had in mind. It’s really amazing.’

He opened his mouth in admiration again.

“As the head of the Maga clan, I have something to say to His Majesty the Demon King.”

[What is it?]

“As a loyal servant of His Majesty the Demon King, I have failed to fulfill my duty and have committed a grave sin. For this, I offer my deepest apologies.”

[It’s done. The verdict has already been reached.]

The Demon King of Cheongryu waved his hand, but Duke Huam continued speaking.

“I appreciate your great generosity, but I feel a great sense of responsibility for this situation, and I will reform the poisonous Maga. As a first step, I will take this opportunity to confess to His Majesty the Demon King the crimes that the poisonous Maga committed in the past.”

[…the sin of the poisonous Mark?]

“Yes. Not only this time, but I will report to His Majesty the Demon King all the sins committed by the poisonous Maga over the years and correct the wrongdoings of my family.”

The Minds of the Poisonous Maga.

To be exact, the blood drained from the faces of the men of Marquis Goras’s faction.

Duke Huam has figured out what kind of ‘accident’ he is trying to commit.

“Now, wait a minute, my lord. We’re not talking about that now…!”

“Be quiet! This is all due to His Majesty the Demon King, so everyone keep your mouths shut!”

Everyone had no choice but to remain silent at the words, ‘Loyalty to His Majesty the Demon King.’

Even the Demon King of Cheongryu himself could not say anything to dissuade Duke Huam.

If the head of the household confesses the sins of the family out of loyalty to him, what excuse can stop him?

Of course, this is all just a ruse that Christian told the Duke of Huam.

Soon, explosive stories poured out of Duke Huam’s mouth.

“Baron Lore of the main family conducted human experiments on civilians in order to develop poison. This is a grave sin against His Majesty the Demon King. Out of loyalty to His Majesty the Demon King, I will make sure that he is properly punished.”

“Sir Luc of the main house raped civilian women and killed the witnesses. This is a grave sin against His Majesty the Demon King….”

“Also, Viscount Jourdan….”

The Marquis of Goras and his followers have been acting arrogantly, relying on their own power, and many of them have committed unacceptable crimes.

However, thanks to the power of Marquis Goras, they were not punished in any way, but this time, they are trying to use the Demon King of Cheongryu to wipe them all out.

“Wow, that’s ridiculous…!!”

“It’s all a lie!!”

At that moment, a crooked voice was heard.

“How bold of you to deny your sins in front of His Majesty the Demon King.”

“!!”

It was Christian.

He grinned with an extremely spiteful expression.

“You already have all the evidence, yet you lie to His Majesty the Demon King. Are you trying to insult His Majesty the Demon King?”

Contempt the Demon King.

The faces of those who had been denying it turned pale.

It was a sin that could not be washed away even by death.

The room became quiet, and Duke Huam continued speaking.

“…In the name of His Majesty the Demon King, I hereby condemn the 13 individuals who committed serious crimes.”

[…okay.]

Given the gravity of the crime committed, there was no possibility of a light punishment.

All 13 of them were important associates of Marquis Goras, so it would be like losing an arm.

Among those mentioned was even the eldest son of the Marquis of Goras.

He was a promising candidate to become the next head of the family, looking down on the incompetent Archduke Hubert, but this incident has dealt him a huge blow.

Duke Huam’s efforts did not stop there.

I have given many punishments to Marquis Goras so far, but this was the most fatal wound.

“To prevent such a terrible thing from happening again, I will make sure that the poisonous Maga is completely reborn. Out of loyalty to His Majesty the Demon King, I will not ignore even the smallest bit of corruption and will correct it, so please watch over me.”

The Marquis of Goras’s party held their breath.

I will not ignore even the smallest rot in my family.

It was a story that naturally targeted the Marquis of Goras and his followers, with the intention of punishing those who had committed big or small crimes against their family.

The important thing here is that the justification is loyalty to the Demon King.

There was no way not to follow.

Even the Demon King of the Clear Stream himself had no way to dissuade him.

I don’t know about other times, but wasn’t it right after Marquis Goras committed the great crime of massacring civilians?

What excuse could there be to stop him from putting his family right for himself so that such a thing would not happen again?

It was an exquisite move that took advantage of the situation and naturally got the Demon King on his back.

‘How did you come up with such an idea? Archduke Christian is truly amazing.’

Duke Huam inwardly admired Christian again.

It was Christian who told me all these tricks.

Thanks to this, Duke Huam came into possession of the entire family’s treasury to strike down the Marquis of Goras and his followers.

Even Marquis Goras, who is trying to prevent this, plans to leave the family due to repentance.

The power landscape of the Maga of Extreme Poison will change completely.

It was all thanks to Christian.

‘If Archduke Christian were my son… .’
