Trash of the Count's Family

Alberu had a thought as soon as he saw Cale’s eye through the crack in the door.

‘He’s gone crazy! This punk’s gone completely crazy! He’s about to cause some kind of incident!’

Cale going crazy was understandable, as they had no idea what had happened to Duke Deruth.

‘…Something big is about to happen.’

Alberu Crossman was certain without even the smallest amount of doubt in his mind.

His heart was beating fast. This anxiety about what Cale might do made him tightly clench onto the rope that was wrapped around the White Star’s fire sword.

The rope was turning slightly black, but it was not burning because of its durability.

“Long time no see? I just saw you this morning.”

The White Star seemed relaxed.

Although his body was constricted by tree trunks and his fire sword was tied down by a white rope… He seemed very relaxed.

“That is true.”

Cale seemed relaxed as well.

“Where is my father?”

“You don’t think that I killed him?”

‘Is this punk crazy?’

Alberu almost swore after hearing what the White Star said.

Nonetheless, this odd stalemate seemed peaceful.

“White Star, there is no way you would do that. You would lose a card to threaten me with if my father was dead. If anything, you would be hiding my father somewhere I can’t find him.”

“You truly do know me quite well.”

“You’re not that hard to see through.”

Creeeeeak.

The door opened a little more, and Cale pushed about half of his body inside as he continued to speak.

“All evil bastards use their brains in similar ways.”

“Gasp.”

Alberu turned his head after hearing someone gasp. Saint Jack’s face was a bit pale while he looked up at the sky.

It was understandable for this innocent Saint to be shocked by Cale Henituse’s words.

The White Star who was wearing the face of Deruth Henituse… And Cale…

The two of them made eye contact and their mouths opened.

“White Star, let me make you a proposal.”

“Cale Henituse, are you willing to listen to my proposal?”

The corners of both of their lips curled up, and the White Star, who had a twisted smile on his face, continued to speak.

“Are you willing to cooperate with me?”

The atmosphere in the room instantly turned odd.

“Hey! Cooperate with you?! Who the hell would cooperate with a bastard like you?!”

Sword master Hannah, who stood up with Jack supporting her, shouted in anger.

Shhhhhhh-

However, the tree trunks weakened the vines constricting the White Star.

The White Star got out of the vines and released his grip. The fire sword was floating in the air while still tied down by the white rope.

Shhhhh.

The White Star fixed his wrinkled clothes as he started to speak again.

“As you all know, I need to kill the Lion Dragon and get to the sealed god’s temple. Of course, it seems as if getting to the end of that temple will be quite difficult as well.”

Peek.

He peeked toward Alberu.

“Tsk.”

Alberu clicked his tongue. He frowned while releasing the white rope.

The White Star, while pretending to be Deruth, heard about how it would be more difficult to get to the end of the temple than to get rid of the Lion Dragon.

“My original plan was quite simple. You guys kill the temple guardian on my behalf and I leisurely infiltrate the temple to get what I want.”

The White Star shook his head as if that became much more difficult.

“That was why I spread the rumors about you, Cale Henituse, and created a situation where you would have no choice but to act. But I realized that I had to change my plans after hearing that the temple is even harder to deal with than the Lion Dragon.”

The White Star’s forces had received quite the damage from multiple battles until now as well.

Furthermore, the White Star did not want to waste his troops now, in case he needed them for things later on.

“Cale Henituse, you were probably aiming for this when you revealed this information in front of everybody, right?”

The White Star knew about the issues Cale’s side was facing, better than ever before.

“That guardian, no, the Lion Dragon. You guys need to get rid of that anyway.”

They needed to return this land to the people of Puzzle City.

The citizens of the Roan Kingdom would be scared.

“You also need to take care of the temple that would appear after the monster.”

Because the citizens of the Roan Kingdom, no, the entire Western continent, would shake in fear.

The White Star smiled, still with Deruth Henituse’s face.

“Of course, your final goal would be to kill me.”

“And your goal is to become a god.”

The White Star did not respond to the comment Alberu Crossman made in a low voice.

Alberu, who quietly observed the White Star neither agree nor disagree with it, openly frowned in annoyance.

“The start of all of these problems is the summoning ritual you did, White Star. I think the bastard who created this mess should be the one to take care of it.”

Alberu Crossman shrugged his shoulders.

“But realistically speaking, it is difficult.”

‘The White Star had no intention of using all of his forces to defeat the monster and the temple. But we need to take care of this as quickly as possible. Ahn Roh Man said the following. ‘The Lion Dragon only reacted to strong individuals for a week after it appeared, but it went into destruction mode after that.’ ’

This was something that the White Star, disguised as Deruth Henituse, did not know.

Only the four people who had been inside the stable…

Cale, Choi Han, Raon… The three of them, plus Alberu Crossman, were the only ones who knew about that.

That was something Alberu had heard from Ahn Roh Man through Taerang’s AS connection.

‘How entertaining. So, Alberu Crossman, current owner of Taerang… You are the crown prince and you need to save the world from the Lion Dragon?’

‘You will be a power player not just in the Roan Kingdom, but throughout the whole world, if you can take care of all of this. Alright, listen carefully to what I have to tell you. You won’t regret it.’
