Trash of the Count's Family

Who was the Sword Saint?

He was the Namgung Clan’s Ancestral patriarch and one of the Orthodox faction’s five saints.

Furthermore, he was famous for his pride.

He basically never lowered his head even toward the Martial Arts Alliance leader or anybody older than him.

“Gasp.”

That was why seeing the Sword Saint lower his head toward Cale made someone gasp.

However, that person became shocked at his actions and covered his mouth with both hands.

It was because he was scared of the Sword Saint’s cold gaze.

‘Who is he?’

‘Young master Kim? Who is that?’

Everybody just peeked at Cale or openly looked at him to scope him out.

‘I don’t know?’

‘…He doesn’t seem strong?’

However, all they saw was a slightly pale and skinny guy whose martial arts level was terrible.

‘Hmm.’

There were some people with sharp gazes among those spectators.

‘The Sword Saint lowering his head? This is not trivial information.’

‘Benefactor? How long has it been since the Namgung Clan had a benefactor?’

‘I need to inform the boss about this! The Sword Demon is important but we have to look into this as well!’

They stealthily left and went in different directions.

Chief Eunuch Wi slowly motioned with his eyes to the Eastern Depot member standing next to him.

– Follow the movements of the people who just left. Figure out if they are part of the Unorthodox faction, Orthodox faction, or Demon Cult.

If none of the above…

– Or if they are from the Blood Cult. They are definitely people moving to deliver information.

– Yes sir!

The Eastern Depot member slowly moved away. That member had people working for him as well, so Chief Eunuch Wi would soon receive information about the people who just left.

‘I’ll need to report it to young master Kim.’

This information would then be filtered through Chief Eunuch Wi and delivered to Cale.

He turned to look at Cale.

‘…As expected.’

Cale was standing there with a scowl as if he found all of this to be awkward.

‘Based on the messenger-nim’s personality, he probably doesn’t like such an openly respectful treatment.’

Chief Eunuch Wi looked toward the Sword Saint.

‘The Sword Saint is treating the young master-nim like this despite knowing that is the case.’

The reason was simple.

‘He wants to openly let people know that he is the Namgung Clan’s benefactor.’

Messing with young master Kim is messing with the Namgung Clan and the Sword Saint.

Do so only if you are confident that you can handle our sword.

That was probably the meaning behind it.

‘It’s definitely something they would do based on the records we have regarding the Namgung Clan’s benefactors in the past.’

With their extremely high pride, that clan would not stand to watch their benefactor be harmed.

‘However, I don’t think the Sword Saint is showing such care toward young master Kim-nim just because of that.’

The Sword Saint was someone who was more calculative than he looked and focused a lot on the benefits for his clan.

‘Hmm.’

Chief Eunuch Wi looked toward Elder Ho.

The Elder of the Beggars’ Gang. He was looking at this scene as if he had made a mistake.

‘Young master Kim-nim is heading toward the Martial Arts Alliance.’

The Sword Saint was showing that the Orthodox faction’s person standing next to young master Kim was not the Beggars’ Gang of the Nine Sects One Gang but the Namgung Clan of the Nine Sects One Gang. He wanted to show that it was his clan.

‘He’s probably plotting on looking like a victim of the Blood Cult’s schemes while using this opportunity to increase the Namgung Clan’s power in the Martial Arts Alliance.’

The Martial Arts world truly had to be cautious of these old monsters.

‘The Carnage Demon probably has similar thoughts, which led her to agree to escort young master Kim-nim to the Unorthodox faction.’

Chief Eunuch Wi peeked toward Cale again.

‘And I’m sure young master Kim-nim is keeping them by his side despite knowing all of this.’

Furthermore, Chief Eunuch Wi thought that Cale would treat such petty schemes or greed as not important on his path and just go down the most efficient way.

‘This sir is someone who showed that intense aura in front of his Majesty as well.’

These old monsters probably looked like clowns to him.

Chief Eunuch Wi looked at the still silent Cale and slowly smiled. He thought that being able to serve Cale would remain a proud accomplishment of his life.

– H, human! D, did you see that?

At that time, Cale was letting an anxious Raon’s voice in one ear and out the other.

He just gulped without making it visible.

– It’s a golden carriage! That doesn’t look like paint?!

He did not ignore this one.

‘It definitely doesn’t. Can you use gold to create the walls of a carriage?’

There was a golden carriage sparkling behind the 300 or so members of the Heavenly Guardians.

“Please get on.”

Cale seemed to be in a daze as he nodded his head at the Sword Saint’s comment.

‘I heard that the Namgung Clan was wealthy, but it looks like they are even wealthier than I imagined.’

They had to be in order to prepare a golden carriage to take Cale.

– Human, let’s loot the Namgung Clan!
