Trash of the Count's Family

The Sage Demon picked up the teacup Chief Eunuch Wi brought him.

He looked extremely relaxed as if he was savoring the taste of the tea.

– Young master-nim. The Sage Demon is the Heavenly Demon’s right hand man as well as his instructor.

Cale was also leisurely savoring the taste of tea as he listened to Chief Eunuch Wi’s sound transmission.

‘There was more info on the Demon Cult than the Unorthodox faction.’

Although the Demon Cult was just a single organization, the records he saw in the Imperial Palace had quite a bit on the Demon Cult.

There was less info than the Orthodox faction but more than the Unorthodox faction. It was right in the middle.

Although it might seem weird that there was not much information on the Unorthodox faction despite them causing a lot of incidents and influencing the lives of the citizens, this was to be expected based on the Imperial Palace’s point of view.

‘The Demon Cult may strike once at a time but everything they do is big.’

The Heavenly Demon.

The Demon Cult basically treated him as a god and followed him.

Basically, it was right for the Imperial family to see the Demon Cult as more of a threat because they were dangerous as they followed the Heavenly Demon and not the Emperor.

At least the Unorthodox faction still feared the Emperor.

‘Although the reason the Imperial family leaves the Demon Cult alone is because their location is quite remote…’

At least the top executives of the Demon Cult listened to the Imperial Palace.

And until now, they never messed with the Imperial Palace and the government whenever there was a war between the Orthodox faction and the Demon Cult or the Unorthodox faction and the Demon Cult.

Well… There were times the Imperial Palace had no choice but to step in because they messed with the regular citizens quite a few times. At minimum, they pretended to stop whenever they saw the government.

That was why although the Imperial Palace paid close attention to the Demon Cult, they could not easily eradicate them.

You mess with the hive you may get stung by the stinger. Especially when your opponent was not a common bee but a hornet.

‘But there is a more cruel reason.’

Cale looked toward Chief Eunuch Wi.

He was a part of the eunuchs. The Eastern Depot.

The Emperor had given Cale basically every record they had through Chief Eunuch Wi.

That was when Cale was finally able to understand the Emperor’s boldness.

‘The Imperial family keeps their eyes on the Martial Arts world.’

This was the basics.

‘They also do not see fights between the Triumvirates as being bad.’

They would just watch when the three groups fought amongst each other and only step in when they harm the government and regular civilians to a degree.

Because whenever there were those fights or large wars…

‘They can control the number of martial artists.’

Furthermore, the overall strength of martial artists would decrease.

‘The Imperial family… They are not that good either.’

Cale had a twisted smile internally but looked away from Chief Eunuch Wi with a calm look on his face.

‘Either way, this is the world they live in.’

The Martial Arts world and the government…

The Central Plains.

Cale, as someone who would leave, could not mess with the long standing relationships and logic of this place.

As for those Blue Bloods bastards who messed with Cale, his people, and the Roan Kingdom when they didn’t do anything… He just needed to take care of those Hunters bastards.

Click.

The Sage Demon put his teacup down.

“Young master Kim-nim. I would think that you are curious as to why I came to look for you and asked for such a secret meeting.”

“Yes, I am curious.”

Instead of being shocked, the Sage Demon just smiled warmly at Cale’s honest answer.

He then gently asked.

“Young master-nim, do you know how I rose to the position of Sage Demon?”

Chief Eunuch Wi flinched at that question but Cale answered without any hesitation once again.

“Yes, I do.”

The Sage Demon gently nodded his head.

“I see. I guess it is to be expected as the Imperial Palace knows about our Demon Cult better than anybody else.”

Chief Eunuch Wi’s gaze sank thinking there was a thorn in those words but neither the Sage Demon nor Cale put much meaning to it.
