Trash of the Count's Family

The Tang Clan’s Tang Ho could not respond.

They were either on the same side as the Blood Cult or called themselves the ruler despite not knowing what was happening in their own front yard.

Tang Ho naturally could not choose either answer.

“Ah. I guess my question was wrong, sir.”

Cale casually asked at that moment.

“Chief Eunuch Wi. What is this sir’s position in the Tang Clan?”

Chief Eunuch Wi immediately answered.

“He heads a battalion in the outer hall, young master-nim.”

“As I expected, my question was wrong, sir.”

Cale nodded his head and mumbled.

That made the people from the Emei Sect, Qingcheng Sect, as well as others around the area look at Cale with confusion.

They couldn’t help it because the person who had been pushing Tang Ho into a wall with his words until just moments ago was saying that he was wrong.

However, Tang Ho, as well as the older or smarter people in the area all turned pale.

Cale smiled while looking at Tang Ho.

“I should ask someone who can answer that question.”

This was what Cale was saying.

Tang Ho. You have neither the position nor enough responsibilities to answer my question.

That is why-

“I will head to the Tang Clan later and ask again.”

He will ask someone in a position capable of taking proper responsibility.

People finally realized something.

‘The situation had gotten out of hand.’

The situation that had started because of Tang Ho’s comment was going to force the Tang Clan to explain themselves for two situations.

First, they would need to properly explain their true intentions behind telling a person of the Imperial Palace that they were the ones protecting Sichuan and specifically, Sichuan Castle.

Second, either their collusion with the Blood Cult or their uselessness. They had to choose an answer between two answers that they could not choose.

– Human! You sounded like when the crown prince talks to the nobles! Oh! Human, Grandpa Ron is coming up!

Cale gently ignored Raon’s comments.

He just stared at Tang Ho. Tang Ho looked as if his mind had gone completely blank because he didn’t know what to do. Cale looked away from him without any hesitation and looked around.

Quite a lot of people had gathered because of the chaos.

They were all silently avoiding Cale’s gaze.

‘Even martial artists act less wild around the government.

This is nice, very nice.’

Cale felt good about having a strong backer like the Emperor and smiled.

The martial artists’ faces stiffened even more while looking at his smile but Cale had no idea because he didn’t care.

“Mm.”

However, his face instantly stiffened.

– Human, Grandpa Ron told me to tell you this!

Ron seemed to be returning from the cave. Cale looked behind him.

Ron was coming from the direction of the entrance to the basement while dragging someone’s limp body.

Ron then said something into the air.

He seemed to be speaking to Raon.

– He said that the cave is connected to the residence of the Castle Lord of Sichuan Castle!

‘Wow.’

Cale relaxed his face and sighed.

“I plan on visiting the Tang Clan once I am finished with my business, so-”

His gaze moved past Tang Ho to the Orthodox faction’s members in Sichuan.

“I hope that I can greet the Emei Sect and Qingcheng Sect there as well. The question I have for the Tang Clan is something the two other sects will need to answer as well.”

Nobody dared to even breathe loudly.

A formidable yet intangible pressure swept over them.

Young master Kim Hae-il…

The rumors about the level of his martial arts had not been lies.

They realized that the rumors had actually been downplaying his strength. He was able to suffocate them so much with just his aura.

It was at that moment.

“Aigoo!”

He heard someone’s boisterous voice.

It was an extremely familiar voice.

Cale’s expression relaxed a bit.

“Our young master Kim-nim, your appearance and presence has gotten even more magnificent! Hahahaha!”

The Beggars’ Gang’s Elder Ho… He urgently rushed over to Cale almost as if he was flying. The Cleave Saint was walking leisurely behind him.

“I ran over as quickly as possible because the Chief Advisor-nim told me to help you, young master Kim-nim!”

The good-natured laughing beggar quickly figured out the situation.
