Trash of the Count's Family

“Young master-nim, I, ugh, here, gaaag-”

“Yeah. You can wait here.”

Cale patted Durst’s back as Durst did his best to hold back his dry heaves and started walking.

‘Sima Pyeong’s tastes are not very good either.’

Should he phrase it as the Unorthodox faction’s people really seemed to fit the Unorthodox faction?

A beautiful pavilion surrounded by clear water. There was a path toward the highest seat surrounded by the beautiful music played by musicians.

There were feasts prepared on both sides of the path.

The people seated at the tables were all core members of the Divergent Coalition.

‘The right side has neutral and Sima Pyeong’s people.’

The left side was the opposing faction centered around the leader of the Green Forest.

‘How entertaining.’

Usually, the more ‘important’ people were seated closer to the top seat but everybody sat as they pleased in the Unorthodox faction.

They were looking at Cale through this odd silence.

Their gazes were quite hilarious.

– Human! That punk who looks even stupider than Toonka is glaring at you!

For reference, that punk was the leader of the Green Forest.

Why was it that all bandits looked so monotonous like a cliché?

Anybody would be able to tell that this guy was the leader of Green Forest.

– Human! This is weird, there are too many humans in the Unorthodox faction making weird expressions!

Raon’s assessment was accurate.

“Hehehe-”

A person chuckling as if they were drunk while winking toward Cale.

A person wiping a rough blade and wetting his lips with his tongue while looking at Cale.

Or a bastard looking at him as if he wanted to kill Cale.

There were all sorts of bastards here.

Cale walked past them before hearing a voice for the first time.

“That person is young master Kim.”

He turned toward the voice.

A person seated on the right side.

A major figure in the neutral faction of the Divergent Coalition…

It was the Pinnacle Demon.

As one of the Five Demons, she was the third Demon Cale had met after the Carnage Demon and the Sword Demon.

‘She looks exactly as I have heard.’

The Pinnacle Demon was the oldest of the Five Demons at the age of eighty and originally held a different title.

Her original title was Poison Demon.

She was the person whose name was best known in the Unorthodox faction for her use of poison.

However, a change happened to her martial arts at some point.

She decided to reach the pinnacle in the use of poison and gathered all martial arts compatible with poison, even the third-rate ones, to research them.

However, she was unable to find a martial art suitable for her poison after over twenty years and, as a result, said that she reached her limits and called herself the Pinnacle Demon.

‘I heard that she has a terrible relationship with the Emei Sect and the Sichuan Tang Clan?’

The Emei Sect was a sect of women that had started as a gathering of nuns to discuss arts and the Dao before turning into one of the Orthodox faction’s Nine Sects One Gang.

The Sichuan Tang Clan was one of the Orthodox faction’s Five Great Clans and famous for their poison and terrible tempers.

The Emei Sect’s current Sect leader and the Pinnacle Demon had clashed against each other quite often when they were younger, turning them into bitter enemies.

As for the Tang Clan, they couldn’t help but be wary of the Pinnacle Demon as they also studied poison and hidden weapons.

‘That is why the Sichuan region is quite messy they said?’

Normally, a region is usually controlled by one group. However, the confrontation between the Orthodox faction and the Unorthodox faction was firm in Sichuan without leaning in either direction.

The Orthodox faction had the Emei Sect, the Tang Clan, and the Qingcheng Sect.

The Unorthodox faction centered around the Iron Street Market and had the Black Dao Gang and the Pinnacle Demon.

There were no major conflicts but Sichuan maintained a tight and tense atmosphere.

That was also where the Pure Silver Merchant guild, which Cale presumed to be a branch or core part of the Blood Cult, existed as well.

‘It’s going to be quite the shitshow.’

Cale sighed thinking about that chaos but a smile soon appeared on his face.

– Human! You haven’t smiled like that in a while!

It was because Cale would be the one to create that shitshow.

He planned on completely flipping things over.

That was why he went all around purifying people and acting all polite until now.

Cale looked at the sharp eyes of the Pinnacle Demon within her wrinkled eyelids and smiled.

“Hoooo.”

As the Pinnacle Demon let out a short gasp of admiration…
