Trash of the Count's Family

Cale walked through the narrow forest path and slowly got closer and closer to the Southern Alchemists’ Tower.

“It's been a while since you last visited, hasn’t it?”

The Alchemists guiding them tried to make small talk with Plavin.

“It has. I haven't been here in two weeks. Ahem, the tower looks as magnificent as usual.”

As guild leader Plavin mentioned, Cale started to frown as they got closer to the Southern Alchemists’ Tower.

His face wasn’t visible because it was covered by a mask, but he had a big frown as he looked around the Southern Alchemists’ Tower.Human! The Southern Alchemists’ Tower seems to be very wealthy! It's so dazzling! Wow! Is that gold over there?

Unlike the Alchemists’ Bell Tower in the capital, the Southern Alchemists’ Tower had a large sculpture in front of it.

‘…It really is made of gold.’

The shining sculpture was in the form of a person wearing an alchemist robe and holding a staff in one hand and alchemy tools in the other.Wow! Human! Isn’t the staff in that sculpture’s hand made of diamond? It’s shining so much!

‘Huuuuu.’

Cale let out a low breath as the Alchemist started to speak.

“Haha, this is all thanks to your help, guild leader-nim. You even made over one tenth of that sculpture over there.”

“Hohohoho, ahem, was that the case?”

The merchant guild leader stealthily peeked behind him toward Cale.

‘What are you looking at?’

Plavin quickly looked forward again after getting that message from Cale’s sharp gaze.

‘Damn it!’

Plavin could feel annoyance and anger in Cale’s eyes.

“We really have to thank you! We are able to be well-off as we prepare for the future thanks to your help.”

‘Shut the fuck up!’

Plavin wanted to cover the Alchemist’s mouth. He felt as if he could feel the anger of the man from the Sun God faction standing behind him.

“Our Tower Master-nim is extremely grateful that you happily agreed to send over everything we need for this operation as well.”

“Hohoho, is that so?”

‘Damn it! Shut the fuck up!’

Plavin was laughing on the outside but crying on the inside. The Alchemist looked around before getting closer to Plavin and whispering to him.

“Once we gain control of everything in the capital, you will gain more money than you spent on us, as well as power and fame.”

‘…If you’re going to whisper, do it so the person behind me can’t hear it!’

Plavin wanted to cry because the Alchemist was speaking quietly but it was still loud enough for the man from the Sun God faction to hear it.

“Is that so? That is great news.”

However, he made it seem as if he was happy on the outside.

He then changed the topic.

“It looks like a lot of new things have appeared since I've been here?”

The Southern Alchemists’ Tower was a ten story tower.

There was a small town with this tower at the center.

It was also the place with the largest faction between the four Alchemists’ Towers.

However, merchant guild leader Plavin was not talking about that.

“Isn't the town full of life?”

The Alchemist started to smile.

Many people wearing regular clothes were moving around the town.

"They're all on our side, right?”

The Alchemist smirked before responding quietly.

“Our real forces are gathered somewhere else.”

‘As expected.’

Cale's eyes clouded over.

There was no way that the Alchemists’ Towers who were planning to attack the capital in secret would gather their forces in the town around it. They were bound to be hiding somewhere.

“Can you tell me where that is?”

Plavin smartly asked but the Alchemist just smiled and pointed to the entrance to the Southern Alchemists’ Tower.

“All of the high-ranking individuals are in the tower.”

He was saying that he couldn’t tell Plavin where the troops were located, but the people Plavin would like were all stealthily hiding in the tower.

“Oh, is that so? How wonderful.”

Plavin smiled as if that was the answer he wanted, but he was frustrated on the inside. This was because as long as he was stuck with the Sun God faction, he needed to figure out the location of the troops so that he could help the Church of the Sun God win the battle.

‘Fuck! Nothing is going my way!’

Plavin felt as if he was boiling inside. He peeked to see the man from the Sun God faction gently smiling at him.

His gaze seemed to be saying, ‘do it properly if you want to live.’

A desperate Plavin kept a poker face as he started to speak.

“Then when can I meet with those esteemed individuals?”

The Alchemist waved to the guards greeting him from the entrance.

Screeeech-

The large door soon opened, and Cale could see the inside of the Southern Alchemists’ Tower.

The Alchemist confidently answered at that moment.

“You can meet them right now if you wish.”

Plavin and Cale stealthily exchanged gazes before Plavin answered.

“Hurry up and take me to them.”

“Yes sir, I'm sure it will be a fun time for you, merchant guild leader-nim.”

Screeeeeeech, boom!

The entrance door closed once Cale and the others entered.

He was completely in enemy territory now.

“They are on the seventh floor.”

Cale followed Plavin as if he was guarding him as he exchanged glances with Ron and Beacrox.

There were things for them to do here today.

“Guild leader-nim.”

Beacrox started to speak.

Plavin became anxious after hearing that.

This was the signal to start.
