Trash of the Count's Family

People’s thoughts on Sima Pyeong were clearly split.

He is smart.

He is cunning.

He is extremely prideful.

He has no pride at all.

The records of Sima Pyeong that Cale received from the Imperial family showed numerous things that were the complete opposite of each other.

However, there was something about Sima Pyeong that was in all of the reports.

< He is strong. >

< He is someone who suits the Unorthodox faction more than anybody else. >

The Zhuge Clan, which had birthed the most Chief Advisors in the Orthodox faction throughout history due to their extraordinary minds… It was extremely rare for them to get their name out for their martial arts. Those born in the Zhuge Clan rarely had physical abilities that matched their smart brains.

The Sima Clan were their equivalents in the Unorthodox faction.

And the person who became the leader of the Divergent Coalition despite being born from that Sima Clan… That person was none other than Sima Pyeong.

‘Of course, he is known to be in a battle for power with the leader of the Green Forest right now.’

That had led to Sima Pyeong’s current evaluation being lower than before.

They were calling him a tiger without his teeth.

However, completely unrelated to that, Cale felt a mysterious sense of discomfort the moment he saw Sima Pyeong.

“Haha. Did I greet you too suddenly, sir?”

Shh.

He took a step forward to match the step Cale moved back.

No.

He took two steps forward.

“I, Sima Pyeong, have acted senselessly because I was so happy to see you like this, young master-nim. Haha!”

He took three steps forward and stopped in front of Cale.

He then reached his hand out.

The Martial Arts Alliance and the Demon Cult…

There were no leaders like this anywhere else.

Honestly speaking, he looked more like a vassal who stuck himself right next to an incompetent king continuously flattering him.

His goat beard made him seem even more like that.

“…Sir, my name is Kim Hae-il. It is an honor to meet Sima Pyeong-nim, the Divergent Coalition Leader.”

“Aigoo!”

Sima Pyeong grabbed the hand that Cale warily stuck out with both hands and shook it.

‘Is it okay for the Divergent Coalition Leader to act so lightly?’

Cale even had that kind of thought.

He did not seem to be the only one who had such a thought.

The Heavenly Demon, who had walked up next to Cale at some point, stared at Sima Pyeong with his hands behind his back.

He then nonchalantly commented.

“How peculiar.”

The Heavenly Demon was calling a person, the Divergent Coalition Leader, peculiar. The funny thing was that there was nobody saying anything against it.

“This son greets his father.”

“Father, have you been well?”

His son and daughter… Even Sima Gong and Sima Dan greeted Sima Pyeong without any other reaction.

But the mood was quite sharp.

Cale’s group had currently moved with the different major forces separated from each other.

The Orthodox faction. The Unorthodox faction. The Demon Cult. Cale’s people.

These three groups, with Cale at the center, followed without talking to each other unless it was necessary conversation for what was to happen.

This awkward confrontation continued. However, this confrontation became more tense the moment the Divergent Coalition Leader appeared.

‘It’s not the Demon Cult.’

The Sage Demon and Heavenly Demon… Pavilion Master Gong as well… These three people were looking at Sima Pyeong as if he was unbelievable.

In that case, which side was causing this tense atmosphere?

There were two sides that were giving off vicious auras.

Naturally, one of those sides was the Orthodox faction.

‘This is unexpected.’

The other side was the second in command of the Green Forest, Xia Mun.

The bastard who had acted as if he was sworn brothers with Sima Jung and Toonka was now openly showing hostility toward Sima Pyeong.

This seemed a bit weird but even Chief Advisor Zhuge Mi Ryeo was smiling but keeping a clear line between her and Sima Pyeong.

“Coalition leader. You arrived earlier than I expected.”

“Of course I had to hurry. Nice to see you after such a long time as well, Chief Advisor.”

Sima Pyeong greeted the Chief Advisor as if there were no issues.

The problem was that he was not letting go of Cale’s hand.

“Mm.”

Cale tried to pull his hand away, but…

‘Wow, young master-nim! Now that I am seeing it up close, your skin is as white as a baby and full of nobility. You must have been overflowing with nobility since birth, which only makes sense as someone who has the blood of the master of the Central Plains flowing inside of you! Haha!”

Cale had been eating and sleeping well but he did not look very good because he currently looked like a young Kim Rok Soo.

He was still a bit skinny.

He looked stiff and disrespectful more than noble.

– Human. This Divergent Coalition Leader really knows how to accurately judge a person.

He ignored Raon’s serious comment.

“I am truly happy to meet you as well, Divergent Coalition Leader-nim. We just arrived from the Demon Cult; may we chat in a little bit?”

Cale slowly pulled his hand again.

However, he failed.
