Trash of the Count's Family

Cale heard the Heavenly Demon’s sound transmission again just as his mind was getting complicated.

– I now understand a bit about what kind of person you are.

‘Hmm?

He understands?

After such a short time?’

Cale had many things he wanted to ask, but the Heavenly Demon prepared to leave without waiting.

– Sadly, I do not have much time right now. I look forward to chatting with you in the future.

Cale looked at the Heavenly Demon, who was preparing to leave after just saying what he wanted to say, with disbelief.

– Ah, right. I came to inform you about this.

The Heavenly Demon left one last comment as he moved away from the carriage.

– The other me seems to be planning on killing you and your group to start a great war between the Orthodox faction and the Demon Cult while dragging the government into it as well.

“What?”

Cale subconsciously responded but the Heavenly Demon was no longer there to answer him.

He had already departed from the carriage.

“Young master Kim-nim?”

Cale nonchalantly commented while looking at the confused Chief Eunuch Wi.

“Choi Han, close the door.”

“Yes, Hae-il-nim.”

Click.

The carriage door closed and Cale started to speak now that it was just his group.

“That messenger earlier was the Heavenly Demon.”

“……!”

Chief Eunuch Wi’s eyes opened wide in shock.

“Mm.”

The Fist King let out a groan.

“I didn’t notice at all.”

He could not hide his shock. His martial arts had improved a step after meeting young master Kim, but he had been unable to notice the Heavenly Demon’s realm at all. That meant that the Heavenly Demon studied a martial art that was extremely skilled at hiding his own strength or that he was at a higher level than the Fist King.

The Fist King fully believed that it was the latter. He turned toward young master Kim as he was curious about what the Heavenly Demon said, but he kept his mouth shut.

“…….”

Young master Kim was silently sitting there with his arms crossed. He scowled as well, as if he was deep in thought.

It was the first time the Fist King saw him thinking so hard after meeting someone.

‘I’m curious about the conversation he had with the Heavenly Demon, but I guess I should not say anything right now.’

He could not bother young master Kim while he was thinking.

Cale had no idea what the Fist King was thinking as he continued to process the information.

‘What the hell was up with that Heavenly Demon bastard?

Why does he just say what he wants to say and then leave?

And what? He is scheming to kill all of us?’

The other me that the Heavenly Demon was talking about should be referring to his living jiangshi self. In that case, the Heavenly Demon they saw today was the one who figured out that he was brainwashed and was trying to escape from it.

‘Let’s head to the Demon Cult for now.’

However, there was something he needed to ask the Sage Demon before that.

He needed to know whether the Sage Demon was dragging them to the Demon Cult while knowing about the other heavenly Demon’s scheme.

‘In that case, I can’t trust the Sage Demon either.’

He would need to be wary instead.

It would mean that this bastard was willing to lead Cale and his people to a deathtrap for the Heavenly Demon. Cale’s face turned cold.

Gulp.

Chief Eunuch Wi had a thought as he watched.

‘Something must have happened.’

He clenched his mouth shut.

He heard Cale’s voice at that moment.

“Chief Eunuch Wi.”

“Yes?”

Chief Eunuch Wi subconsciously responded in shock.

“Are you able to procure even more elixirs faster and deliver them to the Demon Cult?”

“Excuse me?”

Chief Eunuch Wi blankly asked back after hearing Cale’s calm question before he snapped back to his senses.

‘He has more reasons to release his seals!’

The reasons could not be trivial if he was willing to release his seals despite having to cough up so much blood.

“…I will try, no, I will definitely make it happen, young master-nim.”

Cale nodded his head after Chief Eunuch Wi responded with a serious look on his face.

‘As expected, the Imperial Palace side understands me the best.’

And even with the Demon Cult, Orthodox faction, and the Unorthodox faction… The Imperial Palace was the best.
