I Am the Madman of This Family

Episode 26. Let’s work together with me (5)

After Leganon leaves the reception room.

“Whoa… … .”

Ultima leaned back on the sofa and said with a tired face.

“Brother Keter. My business is over now, so let’s go.”

“Have you eaten crow meat, haven’t we finished our deal yet?”

“ah.”

Keter pointed with her chin to the dining room that led to the audience room.

“Wait while talking behind my back over the communicator over there.”

“Just tell me what you’re trying to sell. Shouldn’t I do the calculation in advance as well?”

“go away.”

“yep.”

Ultima also headed to the restaurant without regret at the resolute refusal.

Only Deacon Hans was left in the audience room. He immediately started talking with a serious expression.

“Brother Keter. No matter how much the young master joined the family at the invitation of the head of the family, the attitude he just showed toward the elder was too harsh.”

“Was it uncomfortable?”

“yes.”

“If you feel uncomfortable, adjust your posture.”

“yes?”

“I want you to change the way you look at me.”

“Such nonsense… … !”

“In the first place, are you in a position to discipline me now? You are not polite to your benefactor.”

“Benefactor?”

“Are you pretending not to know, or are you really blank?”

Of course, Hans did not waste his age.

Keter was obviously involved in Ultima, who had been pressuring herself with a high-handed attitude, suddenly became a docile sheep.

‘Is it because of Master Keter that the Ultima Sangju became obedient and confessed its mistakes?’

When I thought about it, there was such a situation. Because Ultima’s attitude towards Keter was very cautious.

In other words, the two are not meeting for the first time.

“Did you convince the master of Ultima?”

“persuade? Ah, I managed to convince you with this fist.”

Keter holds out a scarred fist. Hans’ heart naturally grew cold. Although obviously human, Keter’s fist looked like a bloody hammer for an instant.

Hans, who had calmed down his excitement thanks to this, regained his reason.

‘Come to think of it, it was strange. Ultima Sangju, who was so vicious, became a gentle sheep in front of Master Keter. no way?’

Hans was no fool, but he didn’t want to understand or be convinced. Thanks to Keter, he was able to get rid of a whopping 120,000 gold debt.

For Hans, who was at a loss because it was difficult to obtain even 10,000 gold right away, it was as if the rope had come down.

The problem is that it was Keter who gave it down.

“Then the Bocchan is really threatening Ultima… No, did you convince me to admit my mistake?”

Keter was impressed by Hans’ words, as he organized his thoughts in his own way.

‘I really want to hit just one.’

Hans was the kind Keter hated the most.

The kind that makes you keep saying the same thing.

If he had met him in a liqueur, he would have been at least hemiplegic.

“Inspired by Hans. How much do you know about Elder Leganon?”

Keter suddenly changed the subject.

Why the sudden mention of Leganon?

Hans had his doubts, but it was hard to ignore, given the circumstances that Keter had paid off the debt.

“I was his exclusive butler in the past. Although I am busy with finances, I still see her from time to time.”

“Does Leganon like fruit?”

“no. He hates sweets.”

“Then what is your interest in magic?”

“As far as I know, there was none.”

Although he gave a straight answer, Hans was puzzled.

Why did Keter have so many questions about Leganon, whom he met for the first time today? Besides, aren’t all the questions strange?

‘Ah, are you concerned about Elder Leganon’s health?’

Leganon doesn’t appear to be eating at all. But that’s not it. I am eating enough to survive.

Hans suddenly had an idea.

‘Although the young master speaks harshly and has no manners… Isn’t it true that he loves the Sephira family more than anyone else?’

Otherwise, there would be no way to ask regards to Elder Leganon.

Leganon was originally one of the most active elders in the Sephira family.

He changed that much after his daughter ‘Olive’ died.

The servants and servants of the Sephira family did not curse Leganon, who had almost disappeared. Rather, I sympathized and understood.

Because the one who killed Olive was none other than the Basil family.

Basil failed in his attempt to deal with the Demon Palace Amaranth, and Olive died in return.

In a way, it was only natural that Leganon would almost stop eating and drinking and let go of family affairs.

Then, did Keter really like Leganon?

Rather, it was the opposite.

Keter was suspicious of Leganon.

Sure enough, when I observed him, I noticed something suspicious. And that suspicion was confirmed through Hans’ answer.

‘Why does an old man who doesn’t even eat fruit smell like oranges?’

Keter doesn’t just have good eyes. His sense of smell was also trained, and he was superior to that of a beast.

I knew because That Leganon came from a place full of books, that he had just been sitting on the leather couch, and that he ate fish for breakfast. only by smell.

However, what tickled Keter’s nose out of nowhere was the smell of oranges, close to reverberation.

It was an incense that other people would not have taken seriously, but Keter was different. Doubt what is not suspicious. That was Keter’s creed.

Feeling strange from the orange scent that didn’t match Leganon’s image, Keter scanned her whole body more intensively-

‘Look at this?’

found it soon

Blue powder smeared on the heel.

Even the blood relatives of the Sephira family, which are reputed to have good eyesight, have only one or two stains on them that are hard to notice, but Keter caught them.

It was ‘magic stone powder’ used by wizards and alchemists.

This too may simply be skipped over. Magic stone powder is widely used in real life as well.

But if you are caught by Keter, the story is different.

‘Something is going on. I don’t know what it is, but it’s not an honorable thing.’

Just last night, Basil detained Elder Panir in his house, considering him a traitor.

In fact, it would be safe to say that the traitor was caught, but in Keter’s eyes, Elder Leganon was suspicious enough to be suspected.

However, it wasn’t the top priority that I had to go and overturn right now. Keter’s gaze turned to the dining room where Ultima was.

‘It’s not too late to decide whether to kill or save Ultima and go.’

There are no permanent enemies or allies in this world, but-

It was Keter’s iron rule to make sure that the enemies immediately in front of us were eliminated before they caused any trouble.

* * *

Keter likes to fight.

He likes to deal with many alone the most, and his second favorite is a war in which many collide with many.

In warfare, Kether has only one thing in mind. Whether or not there are advisors in the allies.

In Keter’s eyes, Hans was a human who crossed the borders of torture. A person who occupies an important position in the family but does not feel a sense of crisis.

If you don’t go one step further and admit your sins, you can say that this is a perfect torturer. It is rather a disadvantage to have it. An existence that helps the enemy, not an ally.

If you politely turn it off when told to turn it off, I can take care of your free money.

But what if it refuses to turn off?

“You must die.”

“yes?”

Keter’s murmur gave Hans goosebumps. Keter said to Hans, still smiling.

“Inspired by Hans. back to the story you owe me Admit it?”

“that… I will admit it.”

“I will admit that I colluded with Ultima and destroyed the Sephira family’s finances.”

“What are you talking about! Why did I do that!”

Hans exclaimed in amazement. But Keter made a questioning face.

“Inspired by Hans. Ultima ran a scam against the Sephira family. And you didn’t catch it. Where is the evidence that it wasn’t co-operation?”

“I am not that kind of person. Betrayal is out of the question!”

“But no. What if Ultima admits to fraud? He conspired with Old Man Hans to siphon off the Sephira family’s money. What if I testify like that?”

“Why are you saying these things? I have sworn allegiance to my family for a long time… … .”

bang!

Keter kicked the marble table. A marble table that seats 8 flies through the air and rolls across the floor with a rough sound.

Even in the midst of this, Keter, who had snatched a fountain pen that had bounced up into the air, approached Hans.

“I am not interested. what kind of person you used to be. What matters is now. What kind of person you are now is what matters.”

Hans, fearful of Keter holding the fountain pen in reverse, took a step backwards without realizing it.

chin.

“Hiccup.”

Hans, who was backing away at high speed, eventually hit a wall.

“Inspired by Hans. I hate useless humans the most. Are you a worthless human being?”

“Ah, no matter how young you are… Without the Lord’s permission… I, you cannot kill me!”

Hans, who felt that he was going to die, made a last resort. But Keter tilted her head to the left and smiled brightly.

“Do I look like someone who kills people with someone’s permission?”

As the fountain pen drew closer, Hans forgot his rank and closed his eyes with an unsightly noise.

“Hee!”

hooked!

The nib of the fountain pen touched Hans’ forehead. Tears welled up in Hans at the coolness of the nib felt on his forehead.

Keter put force into the fountain pen and said.

“Me, who noticed Ultima’s fraud as soon as I saw it, and you, who had been watching it for years. Who should listen to whom? it’s a quiz Guess it.”

“Ke, Master Keter is right!”

“Oh noisy. Speak a little.”

“Brother Keter… … .”

“Don’t say it twice. Am I stupid?”

“… … !”

I wondered what to say, but Hans, who really felt death, affirmed in silence.

Keter slid back the fountain pen.

shiver.

Blood and ink mixed together and ran down Hans’ forehead.

“Inspired by Hans. I’m not asking for anything great. Just do what I tell you to do. If you don’t like that… … .”

Whiik! Kwajik!

The fountain pen drawn by Keter was deeply embedded in the wall Hans was facing.

“That dot on the forehead becomes a hole.”

“… … .”

“If you do this, you should respond.”

Nod nod!

“good. Dear Hans. very good It’s embarrassing to kill my family no matter how much I am. Well, if you want to retire anytime though, feel free to do nonsense.”

jump!

At that time, soldiers who had heard the commotion and rushed in came through the door of the reception room.

“What is this fuss about?”

“omg! A table?!”

The sight of the two soldiers looking at the reception room was quite suspicious.

A huge table has been shattered, and Keter is standing shoulder to shoulder with Butler Hans, who is cornered against the wall. Butler Hans is smiling awkwardly, but something dark red runs down his forehead.

The senior soldier asked Hans, placing his hand on the scabbard of his waistband.

“Deacon Hans… . What happened?”

At the soldier’s words, Hans shook his head in denial.

“It’s nothing, let’s go.”

“But there was blood on my forehead… … .”

“It’s ink.”

“It looks red to be ink… … .”

“Aren’t you saying I’m fine? please let me go.”

“… … .”

Deacon Hans said he was fine until the end, so the senior soldier looked at Keter this time.

Keter gestured to stop with a face asking what to do.

“All right.”

The senior soldier, who had no authority to do anything in this situation, closed the door again and left.

Keter patted Hans on the shoulder and said.

“You’re doing well, old man.”

“Ahahahaha, thank you.”

“Then let’s meet Ultima with this momentum.”

“yes? why i… … .”

“How can a sparrow know the dragon’s will?”

“… … .”

“I’m telling you to shut up and just follow me.”

Hans wiped the ink off his face with the handkerchief under his bosom, and hurriedly followed Keter to the restaurant where Ultima was.
