Trash of the Count's Family

“Then can I go now?”

The Heavenly Demon nodded his head at Cale’s question.

“Yeah. I made you deal with something cumbersome as soon as you arrived.”

“Not really. It wasn’t that hard.”

The Fire of Destruction with seventy-two percent of its seal released could quickly get rid of the black smoke filling this entire building.

The Fire of Destruction was a power that even threatened the World Tree in the past.

In fact, the difficulty came from the intricate controlling of the power that was necessary because someone’s life was on the line.

“I see. It wasn’t anything serious.”

The Heavenly Demon calmly analyzed Cale’s comment. Cale looked at him with a gaze that seemed to be asking what the heck he was doing, and the Heavenly Demon stood up.

He staggered a bit but he soon stood up straight.

Despite being the head of the Demon Cult that believed that strength equaled authority, the Heavenly Demon was only about as tall as Cale Henituse and had a decent physique.

Of course, he was not as skinny as Cale’s current appearance as Kim Rok Soo or even his true appearance as Cale Henituse.

He just felt a bit skinny?

“…You are in your late thirties, right?”

Cale subconsciously asked because the Heavenly Demon’s skin was smoother than his and he looked even younger than Choi Han.

“That’s right. I’ll be forty next year.”

The Heavenly Demon nonchalantly answered before asking back.

“You are probably older than you look as well?”

“Yeah. That is true.”

He did gain some weight, but he was currently in Kim Rok Soo’s body when he was extremely skinny. Cale was older than this body’s age.

‘Mmm.

No, I am older than Cale Henituse, aren’t I?

I should be since I lived into my late thirties before transmigrating into Cale Henituse’s body.’

Cale’s mind became complicated while trying to figure out his age that he just brushed it aside.

‘Who cares about age?

You just have to live.’

Cale was walking past the door before he stopped.

“I will only see you out until here.”

The Heavenly Demon did not walk out to the hallway and stood at the edge of the door.

“Do as you please.”

Cale didn’t really need the Heavenly Demon to walk him out. In fact, it would be an issue if that bastard followed him back to his lodging too.

Something messy would definitely happen.

“Ah.”

However, Cale had something he wanted to know so he asked before he left the Heavenly Demon.

“The Shadow Guard is safe even if she is touched by the black smoke?”

Clunk.

He heard a noise from a part of the ceiling again.

Of course, the Heavenly Demon was the one who answered.

“It is a formation. Thanks to that, the black smoke cannot go into the ceiling. The Guard is able to observe me in safety. Oh, she is able to hear noises and sense our presence but she is unable to see us.”

“I see.”

Cale waved to the Heavenly Demon who answered his question.

“Bye now. Ah, feel free to call me whenever something like earlier happens. I’ll help you out.”

The Heavenly Demon calmly smiled.

Cale brusquely commented to him.

“If you are going to experiment in a week, I’m sure similar situations will happen quite frequently until then.”

“That is true. I guess I’ll be in your care for a bit.”

“As much as you need.”

‘That much is nothing.’

The black smoke basically flew away if he used a bit of the Fire of Destruction.

Cale waved at the Heavenly Demon once more before turning away without any hesitation and headed for the door.

The hallway was quiet and peaceful without the black smoke. Cale leisurely walked down that hallway and organized his thoughts.

‘The Heavenly Demon decided that his limit is two weeks. And the experiment will happen in a week.’

This experiment at best would protect the internal ki and at minimum will protect the dantian while getting rid of dead mana.

The Heavenly Demon would try to do this in a week. Cale would have to stay in the Demon Cult during that time.

That was not that big of an issue.

Cale did question why he was pushing it back a week when he could easily do it tomorrow, but…

‘There are a lot of things going on in the Demon Cult these days.’

‘Things?’

‘Determining my heir.’

Heir. Cale chose silence after hearing that word.

‘Haha. None of you will be harmed in the process. It is just that there are a couple of families who hold a lot of power in the Demon Cult. They want me to quickly choose an heir because I am close to forty despite looking so young. The problem is that I have no children. I never got married.’

‘I’m sure it must be complicated.’
