I’m Here to End This Fight - Chapter 379

Episode 379. Proof (4)

Kwajeok-!

A huge table made of high-quality wood split in half with a terrible noise.

At the head of the completely shattered table was a middle-aged man oozing life energy from his whole body.

“What are you guys doing!”

At the resounding shout, the heads of the attendants in the conference room naturally turned toward the ground.

The more this happened, the more intense the murderous intent of the Iscariot family became.

They raised their voices toward the bowed vassals.

“The eldest son of our Iscariot family has died! And so tragically! Yet!”

Ppoduk-.

“All I can say is, ‘I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry!’ Is that all you have to say?”

No one was able to open their mouths easily because the murderous intent was so thick that anyone who made a mistake could end up losing their head.

After yelling at him for a while, the head of the household turned his head to one side.

There, unlike the other attendants who were cautiously watching the situation, there was a young man sitting with a rather calm expression on his face.

“… How is the investigation going?”

The young man answered the master’s question.

“It’s not good. Your body, as well as the bodies of the others, have been left for a long time, so they are badly damaged. So it’s not easy to find any traces of them.”

“Ugh, if only I hadn’t wasted my time looking in the wrong places… …!”

Archduke Blair Iscario.

It was four days ago that his death was discovered by his family.

Three months ago.

Blair, who had left the family under secret orders, returned to the Enright administrative district.

And with the letter he sent saying that he had completed his mission and would enjoy his trip abroad for a while before returning, that was the last news he received.

At first I thought it was nothing serious.

Although he was described as an outsider, there was no way the family didn’t know what Blair was doing outside.

And as always, the family did not take issue with Blair’s ‘do’.

No, rather, they pretended not to know about it or kept it a secret so that it would not leak out.

All of this happened because those who had supported Blair until then took over key positions in the family.

So, I lost contact with Blair, but I just took it as something that happened all the time and let it go.

But about a month and a half had passed since then.

[Tsk, he’s not back yet? Go get Blair.]

The head of the household sent out people to find his eldest son, who had not yet returned, under the pretense of having completed a mission.

Those who left the Iscario family first went to Blair’s mountain lodge.

But for some reason, Blair’s cabin is completely empty.

This put those who had gone to find Blair in an awkward position.

‘The Archduke has disappeared again!’

‘If you’re not here, then where are you?’

The head of the household sighed when he heard that Blair was not at the lodge.

[How can someone who is old enough to be this immature? Find him! Grab him by the scruff of the neck and bring him back to the family!]

Not only Gaju, but everyone who went to find Blair thought that the Archduke had sent a false letter and then disappeared.

That is because it was something that already had a history.

The family’s pursuit party sighed at this and began to track Blair’s movements.

But what is this?

It was confirmed that Blair left the port city and moved towards the mountain lodge.

Only then did they notice something was strange and begin to search for Blair in earnest.

Then finally, three days ago.

At the first mountain lodge they stopped at, they found Blair’s decapitated body.

Gaju vented his anger on that very point.

“If only the guys who sent them first had searched the mountain lodge carefully… they wouldn’t have searched in the wrong places for no reason!”

The servants nodded their heads vigorously at the anger of the master.

“Yes, that is a very valid point!”

“We cannot leave alone those who brought the situation to this point!”

Voices bursting out from all over the place.

Then, the head of the household burst into life once again.

“Don’t just talk nonsense here. Go out there and catch the bad guy!”

As soon as he finished speaking, the heads of the servants who had been there closed their mouths again and fell to the ground.

One of them let out a small protest.

“Ha, Haona, as the Duke of Yi said, the evil spirits are very clever… so it is not easy to find traces.”

“So are you saying you’re just going to let it go?”

The vassal, who had been hit directly by the master’s murderous intent for speaking out of turn, protested desperately.

“Ah, no! But, judging from the marks on the body, I figured out that one of the assassins used a bow, and the one who harmed the Grand Duke used a sword! Based on that… … !”

Before the servant could even finish speaking, the master extended his hand.

Then a powerful force sucked the spirit in.

Phew-!

chin-!

The head of the household grabbed the neck of the vassal who flew through the air.

A low growl like that of a wild beast came from him.

“Are you… making fun of me right now?”

“Ugh, ugh!”

“Swords and bows? Most people in this world use those, and you’re talking about those as clues now?”

Boom boom boom-!

The cervical vertebrae make a strange sound as if they might break at any moment.

“Sa, save… me…!”

With a red face, Gasin kept begging for help.

Just before that, Gashin fainted.

thud-!

The owner threw him down and shouted.

“If you really don’t want to break your neck next time, you’ll have to bring the vicious criminal in front of me.”

“I, I, I will keep that in mind… …!”

“I don’t even want to see your face, so get out now!”

The vassal who came back from the dead escaped from the conference room as if he was running away.

“What are you guys doing! You guys are the same! If you don’t want to die, go and catch the criminal right now!”

At the sound of the master’s shout, the servants jumped up in panic and ran outside.

The conference room emptied in an instant.

Inside, only the head of the household and a young man called Lee Gong-ja remained.

The head of the household opened his mouth as he looked at his second son.

“This incident… isn’t your doing, is it?”

When his father’s sharp gaze turned towards him, Lee Gongja shook his head.

“I swear I won’t! How dare you harm my brother! And do you think it’s possible for me to harm you with my skills?”

“… … .”

The head of the household, who had been looking at his second son with a fierce gaze, loosened his hardened gaze and spoke.

“Whether you harmed your brother or not… it doesn’t matter.”

A story that contrasts with the fury and outrage that a little while ago erupted over Blair’s death.

A coldness appeared in the eyes of the head of the household as he looked at his second son.

“If you harmed your brother and took the ‘proof’… I won’t make it my problem, so bring it to my study by the day after tomorrow. However, if you did not truly harm your brother and did not take the proof… … ”

“… … .”

“Go. Go and find the ‘sign’.”

Ugh-.

Anger flashed in the eyes of the man who had gone to this place.

“It doesn’t matter who the murderer is who killed Blair. No, rather than searching for the murderer, your top priority should be to retrieve the ‘evidence’!”

“… … !”

“If you retrieve the token, I will put you in the position of Sogaju on that day.”

“… … ?!”

The scholar’s eyes wavered at Gaju’s declaration.

‘The position of the owner of the cow!’

His older brother, Blair, was called the Grand Duke rather than the Sogajussi until he was that age.

It was because there was no permission from the father, the owner of the house.

But, this opportunity came to me, who had been overshadowed by my older brother and had no choice but to remain the unfortunate second son!

The young man swallowed dry saliva and asked again, unable to miss this.

“You promised?”

“Of course.”

The eyes of the scholar who had received the confirmation sparkled with dark ambition.

He bowed deeply toward the master.

“I will definitely… retrieve the certificate!”

After greeting the owner like that, Lee Gongja leaves the conference room.

The head of the household, left alone, muttered softly.

“… It’s not that guy.”

Ambition and greed in the eyes of the second son.

That deep, deep light was something real that could not be embellished.

It was like a longing for a token, so I was able to confirm that there was no ‘tick’ in my second son’s hand.

Gaju turned his gaze out the window and clicked his tongue slightly.

“Blair, you piece of shit.”

It’s so unfortunate that you ruined things like this when you were about to start a great family business.

If he hadn’t already been beheaded, he would have pulled his head out with his own hands.

Ss …

The thick, blood-red fog flowing out from Gaju’s entire body wriggled like a living creature.

***

Long before the Iscario family learned of Blair’s death.

A few days after Blair died.

Having completely erased their traces, Yuri and her party left Enlighten and were already on a passenger ship bound for Belgrade.

This time, Yuri and her group ended up sharing a spacious four-person room.

There was a good reason why four of us ended up sharing a room instead of a private room.

‘We can’t dispose of the remains near the scene, we have to go somewhere else.’

If the gold bars taken from Blair’s Lodge were to be disposed of by the Enright County Magistrates, there would certainly be trouble.

Yuri planned to deal with the gold in another administrative district, but taking it on a passenger ship was also problematic.

‘It’s strange for one person to board a ship with all the gold bars at once, so they should be divided up and taken on board!’

So, after each of them took a certain amount, Yuri made a plan to pretend not to be part of the group and take a passenger ship.

After that, they each tried to use a single room.

[Oh, what if someone goes through our room and steals our gold while we’re away?!]

Yuri immediately became serious at Arin’s unexpected worry.

You can’t carry a sack of gold bars around with you 24 hours a day.

I couldn’t stay in my room 24 hours a day to guard the sack of gold bars.

Even if you put gold bars in one person’s room and take turns guarding them, it also looks very suspicious that several people are coming and going from a single room.

So, Yuri’s plan was to each buy a single room ticket and then swap rooms with people who had tickets for a four-person room.

No one would turn down changing a four-person room into a single room.

As expected, Yuri’s group was able to easily change seats and gather in a single four-person room.

Gunther, who had been with me through the whole process, shook his head and muttered.

“This is not using gold for people, but people are being used for gold. Is it really necessary to go this far for something as simple as gold?”

People are born first, then gold, or are gold born first, then people?

Why would you do something like this just to protect some gold?

It was an absurd thing for Gunther.

At this, the gazes of the other three people turned to Gunther.

“Wow, the words of the master of the house… What bad luck.”

“Tch! You little brat.”

“hungry!”

Gunther kept his mouth shut as the criticism poured down like a torrent of anger and slowly crawled up onto the bunk bed.

After sending that one person away, the others also went to bed.

Poppy on the first floor, Yuri above her.

On the other side is Arin’s first floor, and Gunther above it.

After everyone went to bed together, Yuri smiled happily as she looked at the gold bars neatly placed on one side of the bedroom.

Even without eating anything, I felt full just by looking at the gold bars.

‘Money is the best!’

He was laughing inside when suddenly an idea occurred to him.

‘Wait? Does this mean that kid was somewhat useful?’

I told Blair, “You’re not worth using, you’re a flea’s worth of dirt,” but when I opened the lid, I found out that he had taken quite a bit out of me.

The principle extracted from the blood.

Gold bars stolen from the mountain lodge.

There’s also a bracelet that looks quite expensive, although its identity is unknown.

Yuri lifted her arm and looked closely at the bracelet on her wrist.

‘What is this, really?’

I examined the bracelet as I left the lodge, but there was nothing unusual.

Easy to fill, easy to peel.

It didn’t seem to cause any harm or side effects.

If there’s one side effect that doesn’t seem like a side effect, it’s that when you wear the bracelet, your body emits a faint, cool floral scent, which makes Arin and Poppy sniff around and stick to you.

There was nothing else unusual about it.

‘No, is that enough to make it singular?’

It automatically adjusts its size and emits a floral scent from its body.

Plus, it has a unique appearance that resembles a tree trunk.

At this, Yuri’s eyes lit up.

‘… It would be expensive if I sold it, right?’

Of course, I had no intention of selling it.

If I sell the bracelet, I don’t know what kind of trouble Wolru will cause.

So Yuri decides to keep it until she finds out what the bracelet is.

Now he turned his thoughts in a different direction.

‘Let’s study before going to bed.’

The study that Yuri was talking about was none other than how to use the principles stolen from the bloodshed.

‘Originally, I was trying to extract all the methods that cause sensory confusion.’

Because it was too difficult in terms of time, we could only adopt a fragmentary principle of interfering with the senses of others.

But there was one problem with this.

‘They say that in order to interfere with the senses, a medium called blood mist is needed… … .’

However, Yuri did not know the principle of creating blood mist.

This was because only the sensory interference, which was the middle stage among the complex principles of how blood flow works, was extracted.

However, even so, the reason Yuri only took the principle of ‘sensory interference’ was because he assumed a certain degree of possibility.

‘In order to cause interference and confusion of the senses, a medium called blood mist is needed… but what about the demonic?’

What if the demon becomes a medium that replaces the blood feud?

If the Demon Lord could mimic the flow of blood he saw, even if only somewhat, wouldn’t it be able to cause interference of the senses?

Because such calculations were in place, Yuri only extracted the principles of the intermediate stage, not anything else.

‘Let’s just give it a try.’

It may or may not work.

It seemed like he had to try it out to find out whether the principle he had taken out would be trash or a gem.

With that thought in mind, Yuri unraveled the thread of the magic tangle.

At the same time, he began to follow the flow of blood that he had figured out.

Yuri looked at the ceiling and rubbed her chin.

‘Let’s see, to find out if this works properly… we need a test subject?’

At that thought, Yuri ended up chuckling.

Test subject?

There was no problem.

Aren’t there three test subjects in this room?

“Hehehe.”

Yuri, who was looking up at the ceiling and laughing, started to use the magic in earnest.

The flow of blood mimicking the flow of demonic spirits filled the four-person room.
