Trash of the Count's Family

Chapter 900

‘What is going on?’

Cale thought about it for a moment.

‘How did things end up like this?’

The path heading to Namgung Manor, which was like a castle…

Cale peeked out the carriage window.

Outside the right side window was the Namgung Clan’s Heavenly Guardians.

Out the left window was the Anhui Province Lord’s cavalry.

These two groups were guarding Cale’s golden carriage on either side.

Martial artists and a government army.

Cale, who was surrounded by these two similar groups that were on completely different paths, could see the people of Anhui Province whispering behind them.

Cale didn’t have the courage to even think about what they were whispering.

Instead, he asked a question.

“Chief Eunuch Wi.”

“Yes, young master-nim?”

“…I’m certain that I asked for the Embroidered Uniform Guard to be sent quietly, didn’t I?”

“You did. I’m not sure what happened… Hahaha.”

Chief Eunuch Wi avoided Cale’s gaze.

“…I definitely wrote it like that, so I do not know why the territory lord has shown up.”

“Hmm.”

The Fist King chimed in.

“It seems as if His Majesty had a hand in this.”

Cale clenched his mouth shut.

How could he say anything if the Emperor did something?

‘Crown prince Alberu truly is easy to communicate with.’

If it was Alberu, he would have stealthily sent the Embroidered Uniform Guard and…

No.

He would have definitely hidden himself in the Embroidered Uniform Guard to come confirm the faces of those Blood Cult bastards before heading back.

‘…That’s a bit undesired too.’

Cale quickly erased Alberu’s way of handling things from his mind.

Whether it was the Central Plains or the Roan Kingdom… The leaders were quite peculiar.

‘How am I supposed to act around the Anhui Lord?’

For now, Cale had not gotten off the carriage and had told the territory lord that they should chat inside the Namgung Manor.

‘He’s a Duke-level administrator by the Roan Kingdom’s standards.’

The territory lord.

Although it was an administrative position with no hereditary succession… The level of influence he had should be equivalent to a Roan Kingdom Duke or Marquis.

‘I should just…’

Cale had made up his mind.

‘Do whatever makes things easiest for me.’

He would leave the Central Plains anyway.

He might as well make things as easy as possible.

It wasn’t like any of them would follow him to Roan if he acted a bit cheeky. He would never see them again.

Clunk.

The carriage stopped.

Cale got off in front of the Namgung Manor.

‘Wow.’

This large wooden door that showed off the long period of time it had been standing from its appearance…

The tall walls to its sides…

Cale could not see the end of the wall. That was how vast the Namgung Manor was.

‘Based on what I heard, they have another manor on the outskirts as well. These scarily rich bastards!’

A calm smile appeared on Cale’s face.

‘It looked as if they would give me a lot of things.’

His heart started beating faster.

“Welcome. Young master Kim-nim.”

Namgung Ma Hyuk.

The Namgung Clan’s patriarch approached Cale and greeted him.

‘Mmm.’

Cale had never put his hands together in this martial artist’s manner before.

That was why he debated for a bit before offering his hand.

“Nice to meet you. Patriarch-nim.”

Namgung Ma Hyuk was currently extremely tense.

‘The Nature Realm. Someone at that level with the power to purify living jiangshis.’

That was why he had been tense before meeting young master Kim.

They had no way of knowing what an expert at that level would do if they became upset.

Honestly speaking, Namgung Ma Hyuk was the person who was most worried about things among the Namgung Clan’s top executives, including the former patriarch, the Sword Saint.

That was why he had been quite concerned prior to meeting Cale.

His senses were even more alert because the young master Kim he saw through the carriage window looked feeble but gave off a slightly cold and stoic aura.
