Trash of the Count's Family

The Sword Saint watched as young master Kim just basically brushed off the Fist King's gratitude.

“It was nothing.”

Cale really thought that it was nothing.

‘Where the hell did he get the enlightenment?’

Honestly speaking, he had no idea what kind of help he gave the Fist King.

“I'm sure it was. To you, young master Kim, everything is just the natural flow of returning to nothing. They are all just as things should be.”

‘What the hell is this old man saying right now?’

Cale decided not to think about it anymore and just nodded his head.

“Congratulations on taking a step forward, sir.”

“Thank you.”

The Fist King was now using a half-respectful tone toward Cale, but... (TL: This whole respectful tone thing doesn't really work in English. Just … go with it when it is described) Cale found it cumbersome to even ask about that so he just pretended not to notice.

Instead, he made eye contact with the Sword Saint.

“Please follow me. We will chat inside.”

“Mm.”

The Sword Saint quietly groaned. He looked uncomfortable as he looked at Cale’s back before peeking toward Elder Ho.

“...As I expected…….”

Elder Ho was mumbling in admiration while looking not at the Fist King but at young master Kim. He was nodding his head over and over as well.

“Please come this way.”

Chief Eunuch Wi approached them and urged Elder Ho and the Sword Saint to move. The Sword Saint sighed and followed behind Chief Eunuch Wi.

“Eastern Depot?”

He just casually asked that to Chief Eunuch Wi as he moved.

“As expected, the Sword Saint has quite the discerning eye.”

Chief Eunuch Wi did not say anything to deny it to the Sword Saint who immediately recognized his identity.

“Hmph.”

The Sword Saint snorted before turning his head after sensing an approaching aura.

“...I greet Elder Fist King.”

Even a do-whatever-I-want kind of maverick like the Sword Saint spoke respectfully to the Fist King and slightly bowed his head.

It was his way of showing respect to an expert of the past generation.

“I'm happy to meet a famous expert of the current Orthodox faction.”

That was all the Fist King said and he did not walk with them.

He spoke to Chief Eunuch Wi instead.

“I will take care of things here. This was my fault so I should compensate the innkeeper properly.”

Mok Hyeon looked toward the corner of the room.

“Mok Hee.”

“…….”

Mok Hee was looking at the Fist King with excitement. As someone who was walking the path of martial arts like her great-grandfather, the Fist King, who was already like Mount Tai to her, had reached a new level.

That fact was enough to make Mok Hee happy and proud.

“Please help me.”

“...Yes, grandfather!”

Mok Hee walked toward Mok Hyeon.

‘… This is great.’

The Sword Saint felt relaxed that the Fist King saw himself out of the conversation.

Whether it was considering his martial arts realm or time in the Martial Arts world, the Fist King was someone that the Sword Saint had no choice but to pay attention to.

Having someone like that seeing themselves out of the conversation should make the conversation with the Imperial family go better.

After walking out of the room that the Fist King destroyed to another room across the hallway...

Young master Kim greeted the Sword Saint as soon as he entered.

“Please sit.”

There was only one chair across from young master Kim.

Basically, it should mean that only the Sword Saint could sit across from him.

‘This guy is not bad.’

The Sword Saint was satisfied with young master Kim’s actions, which was clearly done to save the Sword Saint's face.

He thought that this guy would be pompous as a member of the Imperial family, but he didn’t seem too bad.

‘Hmm.’

He peeked around.

Chief Eunuch Wi and Elder Ho were standing around.

There were also two people who seemed to be young master Kim’s subordinates, with one by the window and the other standing behind young master Kim.

Sui Khan was at the window while Choi Han was behind Cale.
