Trash of the Count's Family

A couple of ships arrived at Hainan.

Arriving late at night, the boats stealthily arrived at shore for a person to get off and hide his identity in the darkness as he moved.

However, the people who needed to know his identity were aware of it.

That was the reason they kept quiet and did not show themselves.

“…He’s arrived?”

“Yes, Coalition leader-nim.”

The Triumvirate. The three major forces of the Martial Arts world… Sima Pyeong, the leader of the Divergent Coalition, the core of the Unorthodox faction, quietly looked out to see that it was darker than usual.

He had told his subordinates not to go outside once the sun set unless it was extremely essential to do so.

That esteemed individual made it clear that he did not want others to see him, so Sima Pyeong had no choice but to keep his subordinates in check in order to not be on that person’s bad side.

This should be the same for the Orthodox faction and the Demon Cult as well.

‘Ah…maybe the Demon Cult would be a bit different?’

Sima Pyeong continued that unnecessary thought before quietly mumbling to himself.

“I did not expect the Emperor to personally come.”

“…….”

Sima Pyeong quietly chuckled after seeing his confidant flinch at his comment. ‘Emperor.’ Seeing how his confidant became scared just hearing that word made it possible to feel the status of the Emperor.

Furthermore, Sima Pyeong did not put much meaning to mentioning the Emperor.

“It’s not like there are people spying on us. Why are you so scared?”

“Ah.”

His subordinate finally relaxed.

“Did you think I would say something like that without knowing if people were around?”

“Ah, of course not, sir.”

The subordinate subconsciously agreed. If Sima Pyeong, who was better at observing his surroundings than anybody else, casually mentioned the Emperor, it must mean that it was a safe situation to do so.

“Pfft.”

Sima Pyeong chuckled at his confidant who immediately agreed with him and looked out the window.

The moon was covered by the clouds and there were less torches than normal.

‘Both the Orthodox faction and the Demon Cult’s sides are quiet as well.’

However, there were bound to be people who were unable to fall asleep tonight.

They were probably as alert as he was, looking to gather even the slightest of information through this silence.

No.

Maybe they were chaotically busy, just as he had been, sending subordinates out of the island as soon as they heard that the Emperor was coming in order to inform their respective groups.

‘He made that merciless Emperor move.’

The Emperor was known to be extremely giving to his people, but he did not give the slightest of openings to the Martial artists. In fact, the Martial Arts World deemed him to be merciless.

Since such a person had personally left the Imperial Palace, information would be spread not just in the Martial Arts world but for all power figures in the Central Plains.

The Emperor claimed that he would come stealthily but did not hide his movements.

He was basically saying that he didn’t care if people knew.

However, it was this attitude that made the martial artists act more reserved.

“Anyway, Coalition leader-nim, what kind of person must young master Kim be?”

Was it because this person thought that there were no eyes spying on them? The confidant asked in a relaxed manner.

Sima Pyeong scowled for a moment.

The confidant flinched in response when Sima Pyeong mumbled in a casual voice.

“Someone who is the center of the Central Plains, the sun of our world, is willing to personally come meet.”

The sun, the center of the Central Plains.

These were two of the countless ways they addressed the Emperor.

Someone who could make the person with such lofty titles rush over to meet him…

Kim Hae-il.

What word could be used to describe this person?

‘There are none.’

The more he learned about this person, the less words he found to describe this person.

God?

No. He was definitely human.

In that case, was it right to call him a person?

How could they when what he had shown was beyond what a person could do?

‘Furthermore, what about his disposition?’

He was good-natured.

However, he was not always good-natured.

Then was he evil?

Sima Pyeong would answer no to that question.

‘Yes.’

However, there is one thing he could say about this person.

‘He is like the vast ocean.’

The vast ocean that stopped a big disaster.

Kim Hae-il.

The vast ocean was the only way he could describe this person.

He was not an existence that could be contained in this human world.

He was something bigger.

That was what brought a question to Sima Pyeong’s mind.

‘Is he really someone from the Imperial family?’

The rumors that young master Kim Hae-il was a member of the Imperial family…

The story that he was associated with them…

The talk about how he was an elder relative of the Emperor…

“…That does not seem to be the case.”

There were things he learned little by little while being by that person’s side.

Of course, these were things that only Sima Pyeong, Zhuge Mi Ryeo, and the Heavenly Demon, the ones who had been by young master Kim and his people’s side on the battlefield, could feel, but…

‘They’re different.’

Kim Hae-il and his people…

For some reason, it felt as if they were not from the Central Plains.

In that case, were they from a country outside the Central Plains?

‘…That does not seem to be the case either.’

Sima Pyeong observed the inside of his body.

He took a deep breath at the same time.

He could feel that thing called mana that his master, the young black Dragon, had taught him about.
