I Became the Genius Bastard of a Noble Dark Clan – 27

Chapter 27

Episode 27

“Did you hear the story?”

“Yes. Can I observe Young Master Christian?”

“Okay. Let’s observe how that child behaves before the Seongheuksik.”

“Okay, I will do as you command.”

The man bowed his head deeply.

Then, as if something had occurred to him, he smiled like a mischievous child.

“Oh, and while we’re at it, can I play a little prank on you?”

“Are you kidding me? What?”

“If we just observe, it would be bland, so for a proper evaluation. So, is it like a test?”

Noh Ga-ju frowned.

“No excessive joking.”

It meant that it was okay as long as it wasn’t excessive.

The man raised the corners of his lips darkly and disappeared again, seemingly disappearing into the shadows.

Marian let out a low sigh at the sudden disappearance of her presence.

‘Chris, I can’t help but hope that kid does well.’

* ? ?* ? ?*

Count Khazar.

Chris was preparing to go on an ebony hunt.

‘If you want to get your hands on ebony, you need to be prepared.’

This time, he was determined to prove his worth and make the ebony his own.

Of course, you may wonder.

Because the ebony already had an owner.

‘You can just steal it.’

Chris whistled and thought to himself briefly.

‘I heard that this Ebony was assigned to a guy named Old Man who opposed me. That’s good. I’ll give him some candy while I’m at it.’

The old man was the competitor of this year’s Seongheuksik.

Also, since Chris was the one who led the public opinion against participating in the Black Food Festival, it would be a good thing if he could just snatch the ebony he was going to eat.

‘It takes preparation to commit the perfect crime.’

Chris headed to the castle.

The destination was set.

Last time, it was the mansion of the head lord Grantel who stole the Holy Sword Grunade.

“Here, meet your Majesty!!”

Grantel, the upper class, greeted Chris with a thoughtful look.

“Yeah, it’s been a while.”

“Wh, what’s going on?”

“You don’t look so happy? Do you not like my presence?”

Grantel, the top lord, was gnashing his teeth inwardly.

‘Would you like that? You bad boy!’

Grantel, the upper class, cursed inwardly, something that was difficult to express in words. Of course, on the outside, he did not lose his cowardly smile.

“Absolutely not. I am so honored to see you again, Your Majesty. I am just so honored that I am embarrassed.”

“Hmm.”

“Hey, don’t stay like this and come in! Hey, bring out the prize! Father, I know it’s not enough, but please allow me the honor of entertaining you, my lord.”

Chris didn’t refuse.

Soon, fancy dishes came out.

They were delicacies as exquisite as the food served at Count Khazar’s house.

“Hey, does this suit your taste?”

“Yeah, that’s okay.”

As the atmosphere was not too bad, the commander gave a sly wink to his subordinate.

Suha left the seat and immediately brought a silk bag.

“anything?”

“Yes, this is my heart towards you, Master.”

When he opened the pouch, there was a golden cat inside.

In other words, it was a bribe.

‘He must have come here again to extort money. You bad guy.’

The top leader swallowed his tears inside.

But I decided to think positively.

There is no such thing as a free lunch.

It was the law of the world that if you received a bribe, you were supposed to pay it back in some way.

‘It’s a dirty relationship, but in a way, this is an opportunity! If the Dark Maga’s bloodline watches over me, I will be able to rise through the ranks!’

Grantel, the upper class, bowed his head with a face as sullen as possible.

“Hehe, please take it. It’s nothing special.”

“Yeah, it’s nothing special.”

“…yes?”

“Is this all you can call a gift? What a disappointment.”

Clang!

Chris dropped his pockets on the floor.

Suddenly the atmosphere became cold and stiff.

The upper class bowed their heads in a hurry.

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry! I was just trying to express my feelings…!! I guess I didn’t catch your eye.”

‘You bad boy! What are you going to say if I give you a present? Your sin is being weak.’ Chris crossed his arms.

“Just this kind of gift? You don’t know your own situation.”

“yes?”

“I investigated you because of the last incident. You were involved in all sorts of illegal activities.”

“…That, that….”

“Of course, when you do business, a certain amount of illegality is inevitable. I understand. If you were to talk about every single thing like that, there wouldn’t be any merchants left in the world. But.”

Chris smiled broadly.

“There is a limit to that. There were a few things that seemed to be crossing the line. You probably know better what I’m talking about.”

The top lord swallowed hard.

He was a corrupt merchant.

Of course, I didn’t commit the worst crime, like harming someone.

But it is true that he did quite a few bad things.

Among them, there were some mistakes that should never be revealed.

Chris tapped the upperclassman’s shoulder with his finger.

“Excessive greed invites trouble.”

“I’m sorry. Please, have mercy….”

The upper chamberlain Grantel trembled.

Chris chuckled.

“But since what happened last time, I’ll give you special attention. I’ll give you a deadline, so you can sort out everything that’s crossed the line. You’ll also properly compensate anyone who was wronged because of you.”

compensation.

Grantel’s face turned pale.

Something came up that required us to raid the upper estate again.

But this too was a great mercy.

Grantel bowed his head hastily.

“Go, thank you!”

“And there is a condition.”

Chris stated his business.

“Bring me some ash elixir.”

“!!”

“The deadline is three days.”

Grantel’s complexion turned pale.

Meeting.

Karazoffran was an elixir that came from the body of a demon.

‘It has the same ingredients as ebony.’

If you treat Karazov in a special way according to the preparation method, you will get an elixir that becomes the raw material for ebony.

On the other hand, if you kill Karazov without any special method, you will get a counterfeit elixir called Hoedan.

That is, Chris planned to use this meeting to swap out Ebony.

“Ha, but… that’s….”

The upper class had a very troubled expression on their face.

“As for the company, the company… is easy to obtain….”

Chris said it was a fake, but the synagogue was an incredibly valuable item.

“I thought you had a connection to the Dark Auction House?”

“!!”

“Connect with the auction house and do direct transactions.”

“Ha, but if you want to directly trade items that will be up for auction, you’ll have to pay an outrageous price….”

“That’s something you have to figure out. Do I have to look after your wallet?”

Chris said indifferently.

“I guess you don’t need my help that much. If you don’t want to, then that’s fine. Let’s pretend we never talked about it. You’ll pay the price.”

Now Chris was making threats.

If he doesn’t bring him the meeting place, he will destroy his upper class for the illegal acts he has committed so far.

“Oh, no!”

The upper class desperately clung to Chris.

‘Boo hoo, you bad guy! You devil!’

Tears came out, but it wasn’t optional.

Again, we have no choice but to raid the upper level’s assets to save the company.

“I will somehow get the meeting place you mentioned.”

“3 days.”

The face of the upper class became pale.

It was an incredibly short deadline.

But he had no choice but to bow his head in haste.

“Yes, yes. I will return it within three days.”

“Oh, and bring me a small dagger. It would be nice if it was sharp enough to cut through armor.”

A dagger sharp enough to cut through armor.

It is a dagger that can easily fall into the category of reporting.

The price must have been outrageous, but the top stocks couldn’t even make a sound.

Chris had a satisfied look on his face.

“I’ll be waiting. Oh, and can I say something for you?”

“Ma, please speak.”

“I will live well from now on.”

“!!”

Chris grinned.

“Wouldn’t that ensure that we never meet another apostle of justice like me again?”

* ? ?* ? ?*

After leaving the upper house, Chris stopped by the downtown area and bought some miscellaneous items.

[Your Majesty… why those things?]

“Because it has its uses.”

[…Are you talking about a stimulant?]

“…….”

Chris was silent.

Aphrodisiac.

It was a blessing drug for men who bowed their heads in front of their wives every night.

[Ohhoho… Your Majesty… Already by any chance?]

“No way?”

[It’s okay… I understand everything… Ohohoho.]

“No!”

The shop owner also looked curious.

Chris cleared his throat.

“Not me, I have another use for it.”

[Then… perhaps for the Count?]

“…Yeah. I’m a filial son. I should take care of my father since he’s getting older. I think he has a lot on his mind.”

It was Chris who made Count Amon Kazar a man who bowed his head to keep the secret.

“For the Count’s honor, don’t tell anyone that I procured the aphrodisiac.”

“Yes, I will keep that in mind!”

The shop owner answered with a determined face.

After getting a few more items, Chris locked himself in the room.

A few days later.

“completion.”

Chris smiled faintly.

A clear liquid sloshed from the glass beaker in his hand.

It was a secret weapon made by mixing a stimulant and several other reagents.

At that moment, the upper-ranking Grantel also brought the meeting place and preparations were complete.

After getting ready, Chris went down to the mansion.

The words were ready.

I’m about to leave.

“I’ll be back soon.”

Count Kazar nodded.

Then he looked straight into Chris’ eyes.

“Be sure to give me a room before you come back.”

Count Khazar added one more word.

“You are my proud son.”

The corners of Chris’s mouth went up.

He was not the real son of Count Khazar.

But he did not hate Count Khazar.

If his original father had resembled Count Khazar even a little bit, his past life and fate would have been very different.

“Please wait.”

So Chris said,

“I will return with exciting news that will make Father happy.”

This time it was Terne.

“…older brother.”

“Title.”

“…Your Honorable King Emperor Majesty.”

Tern clenched his fists in anger.

Chris chuckled and said.

“Take good care of your father while I’m away.”

“!!”

Why is that?

Tern kept his mouth shut.

A complex feeling flashed through my mind, and Tern spoke.

“…When you come back, please duel me.”

“Hmm? Didn’t you do that last time? I think you got beat up by me before?”

“Not that! A proper duel!”

Tern grumbled.

“I will definitely defeat you, brother.”

“Yeah. Well, if that’s what you want, to get hit again.”

“older brother!!”

Chris chuckled and threw his fist at Tern.

“I’ll be back soon.”

Tern paused for a moment when he saw Chris’s outstretched hand, then grunted and returned it with a fist.

“They say ebony hunting is dangerous. Be careful not to get hurt unnecessarily.”

“That, are you worried?”

“I’m just saying this because I’m afraid I won’t be able to have a proper duel!”

“Yeah. You want me to come back healthy and give you a good beating? I didn’t know you had that kind of taste….”

“Oh, come on!”
