Trash of the Count's Family

Teaser

Harol could not understand Cale’s calm demeanor.

‘As long as you know?’

This was a chance for Cale to get a significant profit. He had two documents that could harm the Whipper Kingdom in his hands. But he was not going to be greedy?

Harol could not believe it. However, at the same time, he had no choice but to believe it. He had heard it with his own ears.

‘This is the person who purchased the Magic Tower for ten billion and did not even investigate it.’

Cale had said that he wanted to own the twentieth floor of the Magic Tower when he made the purchase. He didn’t send anybody to do any investigations afterwards. Harol had someone watching the tower at all times throughout this past year, just in case Cale found something.

However, Cale really did nothing with the Magic Tower since making the purchase.

“…Are you not greedy for money?”

Harol could not help but ask. He could see Cale shaking his head.

“Do you know how much money is in the Henituse territory? We have more money than you can ever imagine. I am the first son of the Henituse family.”

‘Right.’

Harol had forgotten about that.

Cale was someone who had no issue spending ten billion gallons like it was nothing.

Cale gave one more reason for the confused Harol to accept the situation.

“I know that the documents in my hands are files that any of the continent’s powers would want to obtain. I do not wish to be in the middle of the storm caused by that.”

However, Cale didn’t really mean it. He knew that the center of the storm was the calmest spot.

Cale wanted peace, even while everyone else was at war. That was why he was selling it to both the Whipper Kingdom and the crown prince.

“Young master-nim, you are saying that you don’t want to be in a dangerous situation, so you will sell it to us right now? Is that it?”

“Yes. That is correct. As you know, I am a peace lover.”

This reason was acceptable for Harol, since Cale was the person who did not even want to reveal Harol’s identity.

Harol turned away from Cale and looked around the tent. The other Chiefs looked like they still had some questions, but Toonka and the warriors’ side seemed to be in awe of Cale.

‘It is something I need anyway.’

The mana storage device was extremely tempting, since it was said to mimic ancient powers. Harol and the others in the Whipper Kingdom considered ancient powers to be the greatest of powers.

“That sounds good to me. Commander Toonka-nim, what do you think?”

Toonka did not respond to Harol’s question and instead reached his large hand out toward Cale. Toonka’s serious expression, which was extremely different than his usual idiotic expression, explained his sincere feelings to Cale.

“Thank you very much.”

Cale stood up and shook Toonka’s hand.

“If you’re thankful, don’t forget about this.”

“Of course. I will not forget about your benevolence.”

With Toonka as the representative, the Whipper Kingdom purchased the documents that were found in the secret lab of the Magic Tower from Cale Henituse for five billion gallons.

The contract was settled quickly because the Whipper Kingdom rushed it.

Cale returned to his tent after the contract was signed.

“Why are you following me here?”

Cale looked toward Choi Han, who was following him into his tent. Choi Han was holding the contract and a note for five billion gallons.

“Cale-nim.”

“What?”

Cale undid the top button of his shirt that had been almost suffocating him all morning and did not pay much attention to Choi Han.

“You really are amazing, Cale-nim.”

“Huh?”

That was why he was shocked.

“Cale-nim, your abilities are top notch. I don’t think there is anybody else who is so talented in this kind of sca-, no, strategy. I am terrible in this aspect.”

‘Were you trying to say scam?’

Cale recalled how terrible Choi Han’s acting had been.

“However, I think it would be best to be as careful as possible with the next individual we plan on meeting.”

Cale finally realized why Choi Han had followed him back to his tent.

The individual they were planning to meet next was the Gold Dragon.

“Cale-nim, you may always be making a move looking two steps ahead, but that Dragon is strong. It is possible that both Raon and I may not be enough.”

• He thinks I will not be enough?! I am much stronger than he thinks!

Raon’s retort filled Cale’s mind, but Cale agreed with Choi Han for once.

Choi Han quietly stood there observing Cale.

“Yes, Choi Han, you are right.”

Choi Han’s expression brightened a bit after seeing Cale agree with him.

Cale did not care about that though. He had already thought about this meeting with the Gold Dragon many times.

In terms of priorities for this meeting, it was safety first, safety second, and safety third. That was the only way to make sure that he didn’t die.

“Choi Han, I will leave the front to you this time. What do you think?”

Choi Han vigorously nodded his head. That was what he had wanted. He was the best fit to protect Cale from the front.

“Yes, please leave it to me. I will protect Cale-nim and everybody else as well. I will use everything I have to make sure of it.”
