Trash of the Count's Family

Screeeech.

The slightly open iron door opened more and Choi Han walked into the cell.

“Cale-nim, here you go.”

Cale took the spatial pocket bag that Choi Han handed him.

This should be what he received from the Singten Merchant Guild Leader Plavin.

“I already gave Rosalyn her share.”

“Okay.”

Cale put the bag away before approaching Syrem. Syrem was looking at him with a more focused gaze than before.

Cale started to smile as he asked.

“You remember his face, right?”

Only Syrem’s eyes headed toward Choi Han and then back to Cale as he could not speak.

Syrem had fought against Choi Han while wearing a black helmet in the Henituse territory battle.

“The three ancient powers in your possession will now become his.”

Syrem’s eyes headed back to Choi Han after hearing Cale’s comment. His gaze had both resignation for death but also a sense of peace.

Cale continued to speak.

“Ancient powers reside in special items or locations once the person possessing it dies.”

That was why people needed to use similar methods to what Cale had used to earn ancient powers. This was the reason why you needed heavenly luck to get one.

“And they gather their strength in that item or location. Of course, that is not the only method.”

Some did not follow normal procedure.

“There must be a way that the White Star passed the ancient powers over to you.”

The White Star had created fake ancient powers with half the strength to pass to Syrem.

And although he had no idea why, the half-strength Dominating Aura that Cale had was created and then buried in the black swamp in the Forest of Darkness.

The White Star was someone who reincarnated, but he had done all these things while he was still alive.

In other words, the White Star was able to pass on the half-strength ancient powers to Syrem without dying.

‘Either that, or the Dragon Slayers must have a method they used for generations.’

There was also the method the Dragon Slayers used to pass on the ancient power to the next generation's Dragon Slayer.

Although it was not widely known, this meant that there was a way to pass on ancient powers without them returning to an item nor location.

“You are only a fake Dragon Slayer, but you should still know how they passed on the power, right? You should also know what the White Star did to pass the power onto you.”

Syrem looked toward Choi Han with a gaze that seemed to be saying that he had a lot to say.

‘He looks like he found hope.’

Cale quickly determined the meaning behind Syrem’s gaze.

The three ancient powers for a peaceful death.

Syrem would do his best to make as advantageous of a deal as possible for himself.

Anybody would do the same in his position.

That was why Cale needed to determine the value of Syrem’s three ancient powers here today. This made him stop by the prison first even though he was busy.

Cale slowly started to speak. However, before he could say anything…

Pat.

A hand was placed on Cale's shoulder.

“Cale-nim.”

Choi Han stepped forward.

“Is it okay if I take care of this?”

Cale looked at Choi Han as if he was slightly surprised.

Choi Han, who was asking if he could take care of it, was asking for Cale to step out for a moment and to take his hands off of it.

“I am enough to discuss these nonessential powers.”

Cale started to smile at what Choi Han said next.

“It’s not like we need these powers for our plan to work.”

Cale could see Syrem’s hopes slowly disappear after hearing Choi Han's comment. Choi Han’s words and gestures told him that his three ancient powers were not worth much.

‘Oh, would you look at this?

Choi Han had a side like this to him?’

Choi Han’s usual innocent smile that he still had on his face right now looked extremely sly for once.

‘I guess Choi Han isn’t just innocent if you think about it.’

It had been the case when he read The Birth of a Hero and as they experienced things together.

Choi Han was too smart and took care of himself too well to just be called innocent. Of course, Cale didn’t expect him to be so smart when it came to making a deal as well.

‘It’s fine to be sly and devious in front of your enemies.’

Syrem was the enemy.

Cale took a step back.

“Sure, I don’t need to handle small things like this. Choi Han, you take care of it.”

“Yes Cale-nim, I'm sure this underground prison is suffocating, so if you head back up first, I will soon follow behind you.”
