Trash of the Count’s Family

hy he just said what he needed to say. This was easier to do.

“Toonka, because of that…”

Toonka, who had been laughing while thinking about fighting, turned to look at Cale as he heard Cale ’s voice.

“Are you good at playing with fire?”

Toonka flinched.

The pillar of fire that had surrounded Maple Castle. He hated fire ever since that moment.

…Playing with fire?

Yes, Cale meant playing with fire. He wanted to show those Empyrean bastards the ways of a crazy bastard.

An idiot doing crazy things should be very scary.

Cale could not help but laugh.

“Yes. How about a sea of fire?”

…A s, sea of fire?

“What about beating things down?”

Thats my specialty.

Toonka responded on reflex before flinching after seeing the smile on Cale ’s face, however, he soon joined in and started to smile as well. He knew that something big always happened when Cale smiled like this.

The itchy eyes of the tyrant started to sparkle. Cale soon gave him the words that he was waiting for.

“Ill be there soon.”

I ’ll be waiting for you! You truly are the only one to help me when I am in need. You really are my friend!

‘I told him I ’m not his friend.

Cale started to frown.

His original plan was to go to Toonka first, however, it was time to change his plans.

‘Ill take my time to get there.

Thanks! …My friend!

‘…Tonka seems to be maturing.

Thank you very much.

Click.

Cale just hung up the call. Chatting with Toonka drained his energy for a different reason than fighting on the battlefield.

He was still a tyrant, but he was becoming more personable of a tyrant.

Cale didn ’t know whether that was good or bad.

“Cale-nim.”

Choi Han approached Cale who was trying to forget about Toonka thanking him.

Although the others were chatting and relaxing with the Super Rock Villa trio, Choi Han had followed him to the bedroom.

Cale casually asked after seeing the look on Choi Hans face.

‘I wonder whats up with this punk.

”What is it?”

“Can I come with you this time?”

Cale was shocked to hear this question.

”Why are you asking such an obvious question?”

Choi Han was quiet for a moment before he slowly asked.

“Are you planning on going to the Whipper Kingdom first?”

“No.”

“Meeeeeow.”

“Meeow!”

On and Hong approached Choi Han and Cale. Cale had asked Raon to bring On and Hong back from the Eastern continent on their way back from the Gorge of Death. Raon approached from behind the two kittens and asked.

“Human! Are we going too?”

“Yes.”

On and Hongs eyes opened wide after hearing that they were going too. They then started to rub their bodies on Cale ’s legs. Cale did not care as the children averaging nine-years-old asked more questions.

“Human, where are we going?”

“I ’m curious too!”

“I want to know where it is if it is not the Whipper Kingdom.”

Choi Han was also looking at Cale with a stiff expression. Cale casually pointed to the ground with his finger.

“To the lowest point of the Empire.”

The lowest point of the prosperous Empire.

The area that the nobles avoided.

The slums.

“We are going there.”

Cale was heading to the lowest point of the Empire that still had the power to destroy the Empire at any moment.

Night at the Mogoru Empire ’s capital.

Contrary to the center of the capital that was lit up with magic lights, this area was completely dark.

This old house in the slums was completely dark as the curtains were shut in order to prevent even the moonlight from entering.

However, a bright light suddenly appeared in that old house and got rid of the darkness.

At the center of that bright light.

A couple of people appeared as the light faded from the teleportation magic circle.

“Long time no see.”

The three people in the old house showed different reactions to Cale ’s greeting. Cale realized what the issue was after seeing their reactions, so he opened up his arms and started to smile.

“Ah, is this your first time seeing me looking like this?”

Cale was in his long white hair with blue eyes priest look and looked very holy.

“I ’ve seen it once, young master-nim.”

“I know it, young master-nim.”

The alcoholic alchemist from the slums and the Flynn Merchant Guilds Billos responded back before bowing toward Cale.

Contrary to these two, one person found it odd and awkwardly bowed toward Cale.

The Cat Knight, Sir Rex.

He was originally from the slums and escaped from the Alchemists Bell Tower at a young age, so he wanted to destroy the Alchemists Bell Tower.

He was the leader of the group that tried to assassinate the towers Vice Tower Master.

“Long time no see, Sir Rex. I ’m sure you recognize me after hearing my voice?”

Sir Rex smiled awkwardly at Cale ’s gentle tone.

“Yes, of course I do. Young master-nim.”

Sir Rex answered like that but still gulped after looking at Cale wearing a priest outfit as well as the others behind him who were in white robes as well.

He knew because he was a knight.

The people hiding their faces inside those white robes were all strong individuals.

However, there was a different reason that he gulped.

“Meeeeeow.”

“Meeow.”

Two kittens.

The two young kittens walked up to Rex. They then looked up at Sir Rex.

Rex ’s body froze the moment he looked into their eyes. He could feel an unknown sense of pressure coming from them.

It was at that moment.

Tap.

Rex looked at the hand that was on his shoulder. It was Cale.

“Alright, I guess I need to introduce all of you to my group. Everybody already knows who Billos is.”

Cale was about to start introducing the alchemist and Rex to his white robe brigade.

“Alright, let me introduce Sir Rex first.”

“…Young master-nim, should I introduce myself?”

“No need. I need to do your introduction.”

Rex felt something was odd after hearing Cale ’s response.

‘Why does he need to do it? I am perfectly capable of introducing myself?

However, that question soon disappeared.

Cales calm voice echoed inside the old house.

“Sir Rex is the person who will suppress the Emperor and the Imperial Prince and take their place.”

‘What?

Rex looked toward Cale in shock.

No voices could be heard in the old house.

Silence filled the area.

Cale was the one to break that silence.

“In simple terms, he is the central player for this revolution.”

“…Excuse me?”

‘What? The central player for this revolution?

Rex mentally asked back with a blank expression.

However, Cale did not care.

“Ah, and hes a Cat.”

Cale patted Rex, who was at a loss for words, on the shoulder before gently smiling. Rex was the most important individual to destroy the Empire.

It was at that moment.

“Hes a baby!”

“Hes a baby like us!”

Cale flinched and lowered his head.

On and Hong were snickering at tapping away at Rexs legs.

‘A baby? Rex is a baby?

Cale looked at the adult Rex and his pupils started to shake.

‘This full-grown man is a baby?

On and Hong continued to speak.

“This hyung is part of the Fog tribe. I can smell the Fog tribe on him.”

“It looks like he ran away like us. Am I wrong?”

‘The Fog tribe?

The same Fog tribe that is known for being the Cat tribe that is most talented in assassination and poison?

The same tribe that On and Hong ran away from?

He remembered that Rex had been thrown away as a kid and raised by human parents.

Cale started to smile.

However, his expression stiffened after hearing what On and Hong had to say next.

“Hes an older hyung, but hes still a baby because he hasnt gone through his first berserk transformation!”

“Hes right! They said all Cats are babies until we go through our first berserk transformation! Hes the same as us!”

‘…He hasn ’t done what? Isnt he in his mid-twenties?

Cale turned his gaze away from On and Hong and looked at Sir Rex.

“…Do you know much about Beast people?”

Sir Rex flinched before answering Cale ’s question.

“…Not much at all.”

Tap.

Cale lowered his head after feeling a tap on his foot.

“This hyung is going to become the Emperor?”

Cale weakly nodded at Hongs question.

“How shocking!”

“Amazing!”

Oo! The weak human continues to say whatever he wants!

Cale could hear the children averaging nine-years-olds voices in his ear and in his mind.

He was definitely talking about the revolution and the new Emperor, however, the children destroyed the moment.

Cale looked around and saw the sword master Hannah snickering underneath a white robe before looking back at Sir Rex.

Rex was a just person who became a knight but still wanted to get revenge for the people of the slums, his family, and those who unfairly lost their lives.

He asked this reliable Rex a question. Rex was looking at Cale with a serious expression as well.

“Sir Rex, is this your first time seeing other Cats?”

“Yes sir, I was the only Cat I ’ve ever met.”

“What about berserk transformation?”

“What is that? Is it some type of sword art?”

Cale was at a loss for words.

He then got the chills. He had this feeling that he was going to be overworked again.

His gaze was focused on the innocent faces of the three kittens who had not had their first berserk transformations yet.
