Trash of the Count’s Family

as also the leader of a shelter right now.

That was why she could presume the numerous emotions that were underneath that sense of responsibility.

“Please gather all of the squad leaders.”

“Yes, sir.”

Heo Sook Ja immediately started working on Cales request.

Cale organized his thoughts as the bed moved toward the grand assembly hall.

The unexpected smack in the back from the sealed god…

The conversation with the God of Death…

The intense pain that should not come again…

The connection to his ancient powers…

Furthermore, the appearance of the original Kim Rok Soo of this body.

Cales mind was quite the mess because of everything that had happened all at once.

‘But things are getting resolved one by one now.

He had found a way to smack the sealed god in the back.

His pain had decreased significantly.

The yellow head could no longer see and did not have its poisonous fangs anymore.

‘All that is left is to finish things.

Tick. Tock.

The hands of the clock were moving toward four in the morning.

The Dark Tiger.

Alberu Crossman would come once the day ended on the other side.

Cale was waiting for morning to arrive.

Tap.

Alberu elegantly placed a teacup on top of the table.

He tasted the tea in his mouth before starting to speak.

“Transforming dead mana…”

He recalled the conversation he had with Ron just now.

‘I followed Chief Priest Gersey and saw him enter the Temple of the Demonic God.

The Temple of the Demonic God was in the Section 2 temple district.

‘I also saw the White Star ’s sculpture you mentioned before in there, your highness.

It was the temple that revered the existence called Barrow.

That Barrow was presumed to be the White Star.

‘There were eight large circular glass coffins with that sculpture at the center and the priests were continuously pouring some type of fluid into the coffins.

Ron had searched the nearby area after seeing that.

‘Priests were standing around the dead mana and doing something to it which transformed it into that other liquid.

After his investigation…

‘After that, I snuck up behind Chief Priest Gersey who was leaving, knocked him unconscious, and immediately ran away.

‘Did he leave alone?

‘No. He had a large number of priests with him. But I couldnt help it since that bastard looked as if he was about to summon something.

‘You somehow managed to openly abduct him.

Ron had a benign smile on his face.

‘It was quite difficult. It would have been easier to kill him.

Alberu felt that his voice was vicious right now.

Ron had made the right decision.

Alberu raised his hand and started to speak.

“Pour.”

Beacrox silently emptied the container of water in his hand.

Splash-

“Ugh!”

The unconscious Chief Priest Gerseys body started to twitch and his eyelids started to shake.

Inside a room in the black castle…

At a spot that was far away from the others…

In this room where the windows were covered and the only source of light were the candles inside…

Alberu… Ron and Beacrox…

Only the three of them were here with the Chief Priest.

Alberu opened his mouth and started to speak in a stoic voice.

“I know youre conscious already, so is there a need to keep your eyes closed?”

Slash. Slash.

The sound of Beacrox grinding his knives echoed in the room as well.

Chief Priest Gersey ’s body flinched.

He heard Alberus gentle voice at that moment.

“Everything you are imagining will become a reality if you dont open your eyes right now. What do you think?”

A gentle smile was on Alberu ’s face.

“Should I turn your imaginations into reality?”

Chief Priest Gersey opened his eyes at that moment.

“Mmph, mmph!”

He then flailed around as best as he could while being completely tied up and glared at Alberu.

“Hmm.”

Alberu just quietly looked down at Gersey.

‘I dont have any plans on torturing him, but…

Unfortunately, he and Beacrox were just putting up an act right now.

This place was said to be Raons castle.

Even if Raon was a Dragon, they couldnt do such terrible deeds inside the place of a child.

‘But it looks like he ’s been fooled by our ruse.

Alberu could read the fear in Gersey ’s eyes.

It seemed as if Beacrox grinding his knives had fooled him.

But there was something Alberu did not know.

Gersey was feeling even warier from Alberus stoic gaze that made it feel as if Alberu was looking down as he observed him than from Beacrox grinding his knives.

Chief Priest Gersey ’s shoulders flinched after seeing Alberu get up from the couch and start to walk over to him.

Alberu came right up to Gersey and reached his hand out.

“Gersey. What is inside your head?”

Alberus hand slowly raised Gersey ’s head.

Gersey saw it.

“Mmph, mmph!”

He saw one of the Endable Kingdom ’s Counts.

He saw the person who had left to invade the Black Castle in the Forest of Darkness with young master Naru.

He saw that the Dark Elf, Count Mock, was inside something that looked like a coffin with an extremely pale complexion.

Of course, they had just knocked him unconscious and put him there; that Dark Elf was completely fine and even had all of his injuries healed.

Sadly, Gersey did not know that.

All he could see was Count Mock lying there as if he was dead.

He heard Alberus laugh-filled voice by his ears at that moment.

“Its best to tell us everything you know if you wish to live.”

Gersey saw Ron standing by the coffin with Count Mock at that moment.

He could see the intentions in Ron ’s eyes.

‘I ’m going to kill you.

He could see the murderous intentions in Ron ’s eyes.

Alberu removed his hand from Gerseys face once Gersey quieted down and stopped flailing.

He then looked toward Ron.

Ron made eye contact with Alberu with a benign expression as if he had never looked at Gersey with a vicious gaze.

“Free this mans mouth.”

“Yes, your highness.”

Ron removed the gag in Gerseys mouth and moved behind Alberu.

Alberu started to speak again.

“The sealed god.”

Gersey did not show any reaction after hearing that.

Alberu continued to speak.

“The White Star, no… Cale Barrow. Why does that bastard follow the sealed god?”

Alberu recalled something Cale had written on his body.

< There is something I find weird. >

< If the White Star is someone who serves the sealed god, shouldnt he have put the sealed god 's sculpture in the Temple of the Demonic God? >

< Why did that bastard put a sculpture of himself? >

The sculpture in the temple was a sculpture of the White Star that they called Barrow, his last name.

< It was as if he was the god. >

That last phrase had been etched deep inside Alberu ’s mind.

It was because of what Cale had written after that.

< This is someone who endlessly reincarnates after paying the terrible cost of killing all of his family members. That bastard is someone who cannot have anything that is precious to him because of a curse. >

The White Star had been cursed to lose anything he found precious.

He had not faltered because of that and continued to gather forces as he pushed forward toward his goal.

< But a bastard like that serving a god? >

< Do you think his intentions are true? >

‘Absolutely not.

Alberu was certain that the White Stars intentions were not true.

That was why he nonchalantly asked Gersey, who was just looking at him without much reaction.

”What does the White Star desire from the sealed god?”

It was as if he had thrown a rock into a lake.

Alberus question made Gerseys pupils shake violently.

Cale had written more things on Alberus back.

< The truth about the White Star and his relationship with the sealed god. Hyung-nim, please, you must figure out that part of the puzzle. >

< And once I return… >
