Chapter 42. I came to get money.
“failure?”
“sorry.”
Kay, the new leader of the assassination organization ‘Mirror’, glared at the subordinate standing in front of him as if he would kill him at any moment.
“You failed at just taking care of one child?”
“… … .”
“under!”
Kay let out a ridiculous laugh and then ground his teeth. It was his first job as a leader, and how could he not be angry when his first request ended up being recorded as a failure?
‘How did I get into this position!’
How much blood was shed on these hands to become the head of Mirror! There was nothing he couldn’t do. He did without hesitation even things that others were reluctant to do.
‘I was the one who clipped the eagle’s wings.’
Long ago, it was he who kidnapped and dealt with the young children of the Duke of Schweiss.
‘That little bastard.’
The little boy who had been cursing at himself! But since that day, he has been on a roll.
‘He was a bad guy.’
Even though 20 long years have already passed, I still remember that event vividly as if it happened yesterday.
The dark, black eyes that were staring at him… … .
The look on his face as he raised the corners of his lips, saying that he would definitely die.
A child who never screamed or shed a single tear, even when losing his life by his own hands.
Why? Why is that kid so unforgettable?
That image still occasionally comes to me in my dreams and suffocates me. The day I had that dream, I felt dirty all day.
I had that dream yesterday too.
‘Do you think you can survive?’
‘…Fuck.’
Kid, you’re wrong. I’m still living well, even after so many years since you died.
‘I’m the one who became the head of this organization!’
The fact that I had killed the bloodline of the Duke of Schweiss gave me great anxiety and fear throughout my life. But on the other hand, it also gave me a strange sense of pride.
The pride of touching them and getting through it safely, the joy of surviving!
I guess that was the strength that allowed me to continue to endure in this organization. In the end, I was able to take this position by cutting off the head of the previous leader.
“If you fail one more time, you will be beheaded instead of that child.”
“yes.”
“Get out of here.”
The subordinate bowed his head politely, quickly opened the door, and headed out.
Stop!
“… … !”
But the subordinate who opened the door acted a little strangely. His whole body froze as if he had been greatly shocked by something.
“what?”
He approached his subordinate with an annoyed expression, thinking that a guy with no skills was doing all sorts of things.
But Kay, who approached the door, couldn’t help but hesitate.
A familiar scent that tickles the nose.
‘…the smell of blood.’
It was a smell that was all too familiar to them as assassins. But it was a smell that should never be smelled here, in the headquarters of the organization. And it was so strong!
It’s quiet.
It was originally a quiet place, but the atmosphere was clearly different now. There was no sign of life at all.
Phew.
‘wind?’
A wind blew through the windowless space. The smell of blood mixed with the wind made it even more resonant.
Damn it.
At the end of the hallway, a man walked by. Kay’s eyes shook incessantly as he noticed the man slowly approaching without even wielding a sword.
Black eyes that look exactly like that child from long ago… … How could I not recognize that person?
‘The Duke of Schweiss.’
How did he get here!
WHEEK!
“… … !”
Kay’s eyes were filled with shock as the subordinate standing in front of him collapsed without even being able to scream.
Only when he saw the red blood spreading on the floor did he realize that his subordinate’s neck had been cut by something sharp.
And that sharp thing is none other than the powerful wind surrounding the Duke of Schweiss!
Swish.
At that moment, new people appeared silently behind the Duke of Schweiss, who was walking.
The movements were so stealthy that even Kay, an active assassin, was left speechless.
“Who is alive?”
“doesn’t exist.”
Duke Schweiss nodded slightly at the short answer. But Kay could never take the conversation lightly.
‘What does that mean? No way…!’
My throat is parched. Does that mean I am the only one alive here? Does that mean all my subordinates are dead?!

Damn it.
Shudder.
Duke Schweiss took a step closer. Kay tried to hide her trembling body and took a step back the same distance he had come.
“What, what is it?”
“… … .”
“Why are you doing this to our organization… Ugh!”
Kay, who was slowly backing away and waiting for an opportunity to escape from this place, was unable to finish speaking.
“Ugh!”
It was because of the wind that wrapped around my whole body. I couldn’t even breathe properly due to the pressure.
As Duke Schweiss waved his hand lightly, his body was dragged along.
“Ugh!”
He was dragged to the Duke’s nose in an instant and took a deep breath. He felt the blood in his body run cold as he met his cold gaze from up close.
“Did you ask why?”
His voice was extremely monotonous. But Kay could clearly feel the earnest murderous intent contained within it.
“You know very well why I am like this.”
“Wh, what… … .”
Kay’s eyes shook wildly. No, no. It can’t be. They couldn’t have found out now! When was that time!
“Didn’t that kid already tell you?”
… that kid. Seriously?
“I won’t be able to die gracefully.”
“… … !”
‘I’ll be torn to pieces and die.’
‘Everyone related to you will die.’
‘Not a single piece of flesh will be left behind in the sharp wind.’
‘It would be fortunate if you could just stop breathing right now, but my father and brother won’t let you die so gracefully. Dying in excruciating pain without even being able to scream… …!’
Words I heard even in my dreams.
Those words, which I could not forget even for a single day like a curse, lingered like an afterimage.
“how…….”
He killed the child and everyone involved in it! Even his colleagues who were with him that day.
‘I didn’t leave behind even one being that would be a regret!’
But how does the author know about what happened that day?
“Should I thank you for being alive?”
“Ugh!”
In that moment, the wind grew stronger and choked my throat, making it difficult to breathe.
The force that had been pressing down on my entire body disappeared, but instead, a terrible pain surged in. The sharp wind cut into my skin, one by one.
“S, save me… …!”
“… … .”
“I’ll tell you everything… Kyaak!”
Even though he said he would confess everything, Duke Schweiss’s expression did not change at all. It was as if he had no intention of listening to him in the first place.
“Behind… ugh!”
“… … .”
Behind him, the wind that had been strangling his throat at those words gradually died down.
Slap.
He fell to the floor helplessly. Blood began to pool around him as he gasped for breath.
Blood was constantly flowing from the wound, but Kay was too busy to notice it.
‘Like this… … .’
… I can’t die like this. I’ll survive somehow!
‘Even if I reveal everything behind the scenes.’
Even if it goes against the first rule of the assassination organization, shouldn’t we just live and see?
“The one who ordered that back then… Ugh… Eeeeeeeeeee!”
A scream burst from Kay’s mouth. The eyes of the Duke of Schweiss, who had been watching him silently, furrowed.
Kay’s body, which had been revealing the background, began to slowly melt, emitting black smoke from the tips of her toes.
“Eww!”
A desperate scream filled the space. But that sound soon died down. His body had completely melted away in an instant.
‘That’s… … .’
And then, where Kay had been, without even a drop of blood remaining, a magic circle of unknown shape appeared for a moment and then disappeared.
“magic?”
It seems like someone has placed a magical restraint on the author’s body. Is it a magic circle that activates automatically when the mastermind is revealed?
“Tsk.”
I didn’t regret at all that I couldn’t figure out who was behind it. I had already figured out who was behind ‘Mirror’, this organization.
However, it is a shame that the author… Len, the one who killed that child, was dealt with so easily.
I was thinking of making it even more miserable, so that you can neither live nor die.
“I’m going back.”
“yes.”
Duke Schweiss clicked his tongue again and turned around, leaving all his foolish thoughts behind.
Because there was still someone left to take this anger.
