Trash of the Count's Family

The beginning of the conversation naturally started with the most curious person. Odeus was the first to start the conversation.

“I never knew that the two of you knew each other.”

“Are you curious about that?”

Odeus answered as if it was obvious.

“Not at all.”

Cale also accepted it, as if that answer was the obvious answer. Someone like Odeus would personally investigate something like this. What kind of merchant earns information from his client?

“Odeus, when does Venion visit this place?”

While Odeus had been working in the underworld for the past five years, he had figured out that there was someone who was an obstacle for his taking control of the entire underworld. However, he was never able to figure out who it was.

The information that he had only recently learned was coming out of Cale’s mouth.

“You mean the back alley.”

The young master in front of him knew that Venion would come to the back alley.

Of course, Cale was just reiterating the information about Odeus that he had read in the novel.

They called the dark side of the Stan territory the ‘Back Alley.’ Gambling, alcohol, prostitution, the black market with illegal items, slavery, and violence. All of those dirty things happen on a daily basis in the Back Alley.

Only Odeus did not use slaves or violence. He always put conditions so that both the client and he could be protected by each other for any deal. That was why Cale had come to find him.

Furthermore, Taylor Stan, the eldest son of Marquis Stan’s family, probably had the same train of thought.

Well, it may be slightly different.

Taylor knew that Venion was responsible for paralyzing his legs, however, he didn’t know the source of Venion’s resources. That was how stealthy Venion was with things. That was one of his strengths.

However, Taylor was able to figure everything out thanks to Cale’s communication to him.

And he found that information to be very important.

Taylor’s desire was delivered through the excommunicated priestess, Cage.

“Young master Taylor-nim wishes to know all sides of the Stan territory and the Northwest.”

Cage and Odeus made eye contact. Taylor and Cage had asked Cale to connect them with Odeus as soon as they heard the information from Cale.

“As a noble and a member of the family that rules over the region, Young master Taylor Stan-nim hates the underworld.”

“I agree. I hate it as well.”

Cale was saying that he hated it out loud, but Odeus nodded his head.

“Yes, a noble who values the citizens should feel that way. Doesn’t the Henituse territory not have an underworld?”

He was right. Although the Henituse territory had some rebels and gangsters, there was no underworld or a black market. Although Count Deruth seemed very average, he was devoted to the noble way of life. He had a sense of responsibility and had enough money that he would never allow something like that to happen.

Furthermore, their location made it so that there wasn’t much desire to develop such a market in the Henituse territory.

“Then young master Taylor-nim probably wants to get rid of the underworld?”

“Yes.”

Odeus started to smile at Cage’s short response. He then turned to look toward Cale.

“Young master Taylor-nim seems to be a true noble.”

The next sentence was the most important one.

“He doesn’t want to lose his sense of justice.”

There were many reasons that the Stan family was destroyed in the novel. They bickered with Choi Han and ended up in a terrible situation. There was also the Black Dragon going berserk.

Furthermore, Odeus played a role in their downfall as well. He revealed Venion’s identity in the underworld in order to prevent him from taking control of the underworld, and that destroyed the reputation of Marquis Stan and their entire family.

The family that seemed to be the noblest had done something dishonorable and hurt the citizens.

Of course, Odeus had to reveal himself to bring this news to light. That put him in a lot of danger. Although Choi Han knew him because of the Blue Wolf Tribe situation, he could not do anything to help.

However, there would be no reason to do that this time.

Cale put a clear ending to their conversation.

“The two of you can fight later. We need to get rid of our common enemy first.”

Odeus and Cage both became confused at that.

What reason did Cale Henituse have to hate Venion? Both of them had the same question.

“Excuse me, but what do you plan to do to Venion-?”

Odeus stopped mid-question and looked toward Cale. Cale had a simple answer for Odeus.

“Killing him.”

“That’s!”

The crazy priestess Cage cut Cale off with a shocked expression. However, Cale continued to speak.

“Isn’t possible, but something worse than death?”

“…Excuse me?”

Cage had a blank expression as she thought about what Cale had just said.

Something worse than killing him?

She got the chills and looked back toward Cale. He still seemed to be relaxed. However, she knew about Cale who had lent them money and stealthily got them into the capital while making them make a vow of death to protect the secret.
