Trash of the Count's Family

Kim Po-Chul subconsciously started to speak.

“Wait, is something like that possible?”

Joo Ho-Shik gently nodded his head.

“It is possible. You must have faith.”

Gulp.

Kim Po-Chul gulped before turning to the side.

He could see the man who had introduced himself as Kim Rok Soo chatting with some people from his group.

Seo Joon's aunt Baek Song-Yi also asked in shock.

“Did you really survive without anybody dying? Nobody died all night?”

Her gaze and Seo Joon's gaze from within her embrace were focused on Kim Min Joon.

Choi Jung Soo's gaze was focused on Kim Min Joon as well.

Kim Rok Soo had introduced Kim Min Joon to them earlier.

‘Min Joon hyung can explain to you about our situation.’

He had then started to chat with some of his group members to the side.

That was why Choi Jung Soo and the others ended up hearing about the '24-hour battle’ from Kim Min Joon.

“Yes, sir. There were some people who were injured, but nobody died and so we were able to safely move to the new central shelter.”

Park Mal-Sook was gasping over and over after hearing Kim Min Joon's calm response.

"So, you're saying… That young man named Kim Rok Soo used his ‘foresight’ ability as well as many other strong abilities to lead the battle toward victory?”

She looked as if she saw something that was unbelievable.

"Wait, how does that make any sense? How can one person-”

“You must have faith.”

Joo Ho-Shik calmly started to speak.

“I used to be someone who had a lot of doubt and didn't know what to believe. But the moment I met Mr. Kim Rok Soo, I accepted that unbelievable reality and started to have faith.”

“Haaaaa.”

Lee Jin Joo sighed while Kim Min Joon smiled awkwardly and slightly shook his head.

But Joo Ho-Shik remained firm.

“That is why you must have faith.”

His gaze then moved to Seo Joon who was in Baek Song-Yi’s arms.

“Did I lie about anything?”

Seo Joon and the others flinched for a moment, but Seo Joon started to speak once Baek Song-Yi nodded her head.

“Not at all! That uncle and the mister both spoke the truth!”

Seo Joon pointed toward Kim Min Joon and Joo Ho-Shik and was full of confidence.

“…Ho.”

That was why Kim Po-Chul and Park Mal-Sook gasped.

It was at that moment.

“How is your dinner?”

Cale had walked over and started to speak.

It was less gentle and more stoic than earlier, but it sounded more comfortable, probably because that was Cale’s normal tone.

But the people who were on the receiving end of that question were not feeling good.

“…You.”

Kim Po-Chul started to speak and Cale looked at him with a confused expression.

Kim Po-Chul finished his question after seeing his gaze.

“Are you human?”

‘Hmm?’

Cale then looked toward Kim Min Joon.

Kim Min Joon quickly responded to Kim Po-Chul.

“He is human.”

Then he smiled toward Cale.

‘…Something seems off.’

Cale looked back at the others after getting an iffy feeling. An awkwardly smiling Lee Jin Joo stealthily pointed toward Joo Ho-Shik.

Joo Ho-Shik had his hands clasped together as he looked at Cale.

‘Mm.’

Cale decided not to think about this anymore.

Instead, he turned toward Choi Jung Soo.

Choi Jung Soo could see Cale start to frown as soon as he looked toward him.

That gaze made him slightly flinch. Choi Jung Soo's pupils were shaking as he looked at Cale.

‘…He has a foresight ability but can also control fire, water, wind, and a shield? How could such an individual be human?’

Choi Jung Soo was starting to believe less and less that Kim Rok Soo was human after seeing the way Kim Min Joon and Joo Ho-Shik were acting.

He just felt like a different existence than humans.

The fact that such a person had recognized him through foresight was shocking, and it was weird that he was being so friendly.

He also found something weird about himself as well.

‘…I don’t feel any wariness toward him.’

Choi Jung Soo had been quite tense since the world became like this.

It was because he was weak.

This world was now one where the weak could be preyed upon by the strong at any moment.

But for some odd reason, he didn't feel any wariness toward this man named Kim Rok Soo even after hearing how strong he is.

Choi Jung Soo found that the current situation was even more chaotic as he had never felt this way before.

Cale started to speak at that moment.

Choi Jung Soo saw Cale’s mouth opening as if it was done in slow motion and slowly started to become nervous.

To be clear, it was a different kind of nervousness than wariness.

What would this strong person have to say?

Choi Jung Soo waited for him to speak with a thumping heart and he finally heard Cale’s voice.

"Choi Jung Soo, why did you eat so little?”

‘Huh?’

Cale was speaking informally to Choi Jung Soo again as he had done when they first met earlier, but he didn’t recognize this as he looked down.

He could see the food that Kim Rok Soo's group had prepared.

Choi Jung Soo then looked around. He saw the same amount of food in front of other people as well. He also observed the odd gazes from his group as well as Kim Rok Soo's group.

Choi Jung Soo hesitated and debated what to say before he finally responded.

Since they were the same age and the other side started it…

“I already ate an entire boxed lunch set.”

He’ll just speak informally as well.

Choi Jung Soo had responded with a slightly relaxed expression.

But that made Cale frown even more.

‘One boxed lunch set?! This punk only ate one boxed lunch set?! You always eat at least two plates!’

Cale wanted to say that, but he stopped himself and kept his mouth shut.

‘Man, this is hard to do.’

Cale felt that it wasn’t very good to be the only person to remember things.

Choi Jung Soo urgently started to speak at that moment.

“Umm, it's been a long time since I could eat so much food! I ate enough!”

It was the truth.

It had been difficult for Choi Jung Soo to eat three meals a day since the world became like this.

Actually, this was the case for not just Choi Jung Soo, but everybody else in this world as well.
