Raon looked back as the annex garden began to come into view. He was following Balder with a frown that made his wrinkles increase.
‘It doesn’t run away.’
Balder insisted that he would never go, but his words caught his ankle and he had no choice but to follow him to the annex.
However, his feet were dragging on the ground, as if he really didn’t want to come.
The inspection department employees walking at the back also had pale complexions, as if they were being dragged to hell. The confidence and arrogance that came with kicking down the gym door at dawn was nowhere to be seen.
“I will never forget today’s humiliation… .”
As Balder was gritting his teeth while looking at Raon, a swordsman hit him on the back of the head.
Wow!
A cool sound, like a pumpkin breaking, erupted, and Balder’s body swayed as if it would fall.
“Kwaeook!”
Balder screamed, clutching the back of his head.
“Why are you hitting me!”
“Inspecting with grudges, a special inspector shouldn’t say something like that. Did you really go crazy because you wanted to lose? Shall we go find Gajujeon?”
The swordsman rolled his eyes and raised his rock-like fist.
“Ugh… .”
Balder did not dare to reply and bowed his head.
“Well, it’s just something I said out of anger!”
“The inspector general should not be driven by emotions. “Don’t you know that you must always remain calm and thoroughly understand the situation?”
“Harian, you can’t do that either… .”
“So I didn’t do it!”
The swordsman twisted his mouth and struck Balder’s forehead with his palm.
“Ahhhh! “Stop it!”
“I spoke as loudly as the special inspector wanted, but is there any problem?”
“You’re just raising your voice. What if you keep hitting me and swearing at me? If this is going to happen, just do it like before!”
Balder screamed as if he couldn’t stand it anymore.
“Then it’s easier for me.”
The swordsman smiled coldly and tapped Balder’s head again.
“Hey you idiot! If you are lucky enough to become a special inspector, you should do your job properly and be recognized by the head of the family. Ji Seung-jil is all you have to do? “How can you become stone-headed as you get older!”
He stayed next to Balder and started nagging him as if he had a good time.
“Ugh… .”
Balder curled his body into a ball, clutching his chest as if he was pretending.
“While we’re at it, let me give you some advice.”
Dogoe raised his finger and pointed at Raon.
“As you can see today, that guy is crazy. This family. No, even if you search the entire continent, you won’t find a crazy person like that. “If you want to keep shouting in this family, you’d better take care of yourself.”
“W-wow! “No matter what, I’m definitely not at the point where I can be pushed around by that young guy!”
“Of course you are on top now. But soon the relationship will reverse. Because this is my final advice to my damn student. “Engrave it.”
“I don’t like it! “My bowl isn’t full yet!”
Balder shook his head vigorously, saying he could not accept that.
“And please be respectful again from now on!”
“It went back and forth, back and forth. “You’re really annoying me!”
Dogoe spoke loudly as Balder wanted and hit him on the back of the head. This time there was a dull sound, like hitting a stone.
“What? Block it with aura?”
“It really hurts!”
Balder jumped away from the thug, covering the back of his head. The expressions on the faces of the inspection department employees behind him were even more strained at the ugly sight.
“Whoa… .”
The swordsman let out a low sigh as he saw Balder rolling his eyes.
‘You’re not listening as expected. Well, if I were to ask my nephew to bend down, I would probably refuse.’
Still, you are not a vessel for the head of the family.
I have seen Balder since I was young, so I know him better than anyone else.
Although he has excellent military power and is brave enough to become a general at the forefront, he cannot sit on the throne of a monarch who can encompass the entire family.
If the unqualified Balder becomes the head of the family, Sieghart will be ruined before even 10 years have passed.
‘On the other hand… .’
Do-goe licked his lips while looking at Ra-on’s unwavering back.
‘That guy is the real deal.’
Even if he were a bold person, he would have been satisfied and happy if I had shown up and stopped Balder from doing what he did.
But that crazy kid used my name as much as possible to screw up Balder and the inspectors and even get the most out of it. To be honest, it wasn’t a decision a normal person could make.
A traitor who not only steals the enemy’s weapons, but also steals food and the containers containing the food. If Raon became the head of the family, Sieghart seemed to be able to break away from the frame of the six emperors and stand tall alone.
‘But age is a problem.’
Because Raon was young, he lacked the accumulated track record and military power compared to Karun, Denier, and Balder.
If I could fulfill that requirement, I really felt like I could do well even in the competition for successor.
‘Is there a way to help… .’
As Dogoe was walking after organizing his thoughts about Raon and Balder, Raon stopped and raised his hand.
“Welcome to the annex. Special Inspector General.”
Raon pointed to the entrance to the garden and bowed his head politely.
“It’s shabby.”
Balder frowned as he looked at the garden where not a single flower had bloomed because it was winter. He continued speaking in a fierce voice, as if he was releasing the anger that had built up until now.
“It is the ugliest and dirtiest garden among the gardens inside Sieghardt. “It wouldn’t be strange if it were just a field.”
“is that so.”
Raon did not lose his calm smile even though Sylvia’s garden was insulted.
“You can tell the personality of the homeowner by looking at the garden. The owner of the annex had a small bowl and a narrow mind… .”
“Commander.”
As soon as Dogoe heard Raon’s call, he ran and punched Balder in the mouth.
“Wow!”
Balder, who had been hit in the mouth while speaking, narrowed his eyes and stepped back.
“Did you pull the rag out of your mouth? “Let’s speak softly.”
The doge frowned as he shook off the hand that had hit Balder.
“Ugh… .”
Balder stroked his mouth and groaned, unable to do anything. His eyes were droopy, like a puppy that was tired from a walk and wanted to go home.
“Please come in.”
Raon guided Balder and the members of the Inspection Department to stand in front of the entrance of the annex. Thanks to the collapse, they followed without saying a single word.
When I opened the front door, I saw Sylvia and Helen coming down the stairs.
“young master?”
“Why are you here so quickly? I have a lot to organize today… .”
Sylvia tilted her head and stopped when she saw Balder standing behind Raon.
“Oh, brother. No, Balder… .”
Her white lips trembled as if she was afraid of Balder.
“Sylvia. You still can’t come to your senses… .”
Balder frowned at Silvia. As he was about to move his lips to say something, the thug lifted his foot.
Whoa whoa!
The doge cheerfully kicked Balder’s butt and entered the annex.
“Get out of the way! “You can’t go in because there’s a bear-like guy standing there!”
“Okay… .”
Balder stepped aside, rubbing his beaten buttocks. He was so worried about the thieves that he hit the front door with his shoulder without realizing it.
Raon didn’t miss that moment and pulled out the front door.
Pap deud deuk!
There was a sound like a piece of metal being crushed, and the front door broke open and fell backwards.
“uh… ?”
Balder gaped as he looked at the fallen door, kicking up dust. Here, everyone’s eyes were on him.
“Oh, no! not me!”
“Didn’t the special inspector hit you with his shoulder?”
“How can the door break if you hit it with your shoulder?”
“I told you. “The annex is old so you have to be careful.”
Raon gestured to Dorian, who came with him.
“Ah yes. First of all, one door… .”
Dorian took out his notebook and wrote: “A door.”
“That’s not it.”
Raon shook his head as he looked at the contents of the notebook.
“You can’t change the doors one by one. Let’s change both.”
“Ah, yes!”
Dorian nodded and corrected himself by saying it was two doors.
“It wasn’t me, it was this guy who did it! “The door was pulled out by hand!”
Balder stretched out his thick finger and aimed it at Raon.
“Commander.”
Raon didn’t argue and immediately called Dogoe.
“Everyone here saw that you hit me with your shoulder. What nonsense!”
As soon as Dogoe heard Raon’s call, he approached Balder and frowned.
“No, does it make sense for the door to break if you hit it with your shoulder?”
“Look at your body! “It’s even weirder that it doesn’t break!”
“eww… .”
Balder sighed as if there was nothing he could do and gestured to the inspector general staff behind him.
“Joe, investigate. As quickly and safely as possible. “Never break it.”
He rolled his eyes and told me not to spend any more money on reimbursement.
“Oh, I understand.”
“I’ll keep that in mind.”
The staff of the inspection department, whose backs were half-bent because they were so intimidated, nodded and dispersed.
“What is this… .”
It was only when Sylvia saw Balder, as stunned as a mouse in front of a cat, that her frozen expression relaxed.
“Why is Balder so upset?”
She twitched her eyes as if she didn’t understand the situation.
“Iknow, right… .”
“I don’t know what’s going on.”
“hmm… .”
Helen and the maids also sighed as if they could not imagine seeing Balder crushed.
“The special inspector said he wanted to inspect the annex, so I brought him here.”
Raon approached Sylvia and the maids and smiled softly.
“Because nothing will happen. Do not worry.”
He reassured everyone with determination in his voice. The expressions of Sylvia and her maids became more relaxed.
“Special Inspector General. “Let’s start from there.”
Raon raised his hand and guided us to the left hallway.
“Tsk.”
Balder clicked his tongue briefly and followed behind.
Guguguguk.
The left hallway was the narrowest of the passageways inside the annex, and because Balder was so large, the hallway was so full that the picture frames hanging on the wall naturally fell down.
Kyaaaaa!
The picture frames that fell to the ground broke with a sharp sound.
“Huh!”
Balder leaned his back against the outer wall in confusion.
Crumbling!
When Balder’s back touched the wall, Raon concentrated all his strength on his hands and pushed the wall away.
Thanks to the title of King of Destruction, the wall collapsed with a seemingly light gesture.
-Hey, you crazy guy! Why are you destroying the house?
Lars gaped, saying that this was the first time he had seen his own house destroyed.
“ah… .”
Balder gaped as he watched the wall crumbling into powder.
“No, no! Not really! “This guy broke it!”
He pointed at Raon and his chin trembled.
“You are doing too much. “Everyone here saw Balder hitting the wall with his back.”
Raon shook his head, pointing to the people behind him.
“Does it make sense for a wall to collapse just because a person leans against it?”
“Then does it make sense for the wall to collapse when I push it with my finger?”
“Ugh… .”
Balder could not refute and his face became red.
“I’m going back. “I’m not!”
He couldn’t control his temper and stamped his foot violently.
Pudddeuk!
Raon matched the sound and delivered force to the remaining wall, destroying the wall in half and collapsing the ceiling.
Kwagwagwagwagwang!
At the sound of the ceiling falling and walls collapsing, people from other places came running, and everyone looked at Balder with their mouths wide open.
“Don’t look at me like that! “I feel wronged!”
Balder hit his chest and screamed, but no one listened to him.
“Are you planning on destroying the whole house?”
Dogae hit Balder on the top of his head with his fist, telling him to come to his senses.
“It’s really unfair!”
“Noisy!”
He covered Balder’s mouth as if he had no intention of listening.
“Dorian.”
“Ah yes… .”
Even though Dorian was scared by Balder, he faithfully wrote down the estimate for the damaged annex.
‘It worked.’
I deliberately brought Balder into the narrowest, most worn-out hallway, and the plan worked perfectly. It went so well that it was ridiculous.
-You are truly crazy. Even the best celestial bastards won’t be able to keep up with their tricks!
Lars stuck out his tongue, saying he was truly impressed.
“I-I won’t move from here! “I will no longer be fooled by your intentions!”
Balder sat down on the spot with his arms wrapped around him. He even closed his eyes, saying he would stay here until the investigation by other members of the inspection department was completed.
‘Then there is another way.’
Raon left Balder behind and followed the members of the Inspection Department.
As they began to rummage through the annex, they broke old but unimportant items and added them to Dorian’s bill.
“Why are you really doing this!”
“Leave it alone! “It’s yours!”
“I didn’t break that vase!”
“You devil!”
The inspection department employees were left in tears, unable to do anything about the situation, as their finances were getting worse the more they investigated.
“Aaaahhh!”
“Please stop!”
Balder lifted his trembling eyelids at the screams coming from the entire annex.
“Is this the devil’s castle…?” .”
* * *
An hour later.
Employees of the Inspection Department stood in front of Balder.
“Oh, there’s nothing.”
“So do we.”
“Okay, it’s clean.”
Everyone bowed their heads, saying there was nothing strange.
“Yeah, really? Then let’s go!”
Balder stood up with a smile, as if he was happy to finally be able to leave the annex.
“Where are you going?”
Raon blocked Balder’s path and waved his finger.
“The inspectors did a lot of damage to our house, so I think we need to compensate them.”
“joy! Those damn negative ions! It doesn’t work anymore! Isn’t that a word used by scammers? “Where in the world is there anything like that?”
Balder lifted his chin as if he had learned about negative ions.
“Unfortunately, there are no negative ions in our house.”
Raon shook his head calmly.
“All the broken things are ordinary things.”
“Yeah, really? Then it won’t be long!”
Balder laughed as if he was glad that it was not a negative ion.
“but.”
Raon lowered his head and sniffled.
“These items and this house embody the lives of me, my mother, and our maids. That’s more precious than negative ions… .”
“Aaaah!”
Balder grabbed his head and screamed.
“So how much is it?”
“About 30 gold coins?”
“It’s too expensive!”
“Memories cannot be bought with money. “I want to give my mother a little joy by replacing it with the best product.”
Raon lowered his head and slightly trembled his shoulders.
“That’s sad.”
Do-gae also sniffled behind him.
“Oh, this is really driving me crazy… .”
Balder’s eyes trembled as he looked at the thieves and eventually took out 30 gold coins.
“I’m going now!”
“Oh, wait a minute.”
Raon once again blocked Balder from leaving.
“I can’t see Warm-i No. 1, the state-of-the-art cold and temperature control artifact that was here.”
“W-what do you mean by that?”
“Next to the picture frame that the special inspector broke, there was an artifact taken from the Yonan family. It is an artifact that warms the entire house, but it seems to have burst when the picture frame broke.
“That doesn’t even sound like a horse! There was only a picture frame here! How on earth are you going to go so far as to suck up money? .”
“Commander!”
Dodo immediately came out and nodded.
“Oh, I saw that too. “Wasn’t it a small bead?”
“you’re right. “It seems like it broke when Balder moved.”
“Hmm… .”
Raon and Dogoe looked at Balder blankly at the same time.
“Haaa… .”
Balder sighed as if he had given up and took out the subspace bag.
“How much is that?”
“As I said, it’s a precious artifact that regulates the temperature of the entire annex, and it’s handmade by the heir of the Yonan family… .”
“Okay, just tell me the price!”
“30 gold coins.”
“I can’t do it in moderation…” .”
“Commander!”
When Raon felt that Balder’s words were getting too long, he immediately called Dogoe.
“Do you want to throw away 300 gold coins?”
“Why are you really like this!”
“Give it to me quickly!”
“You’re going to live a really long time.”
Balder glared at Raon and took out 30 gold coins again.
“thank you.”
“… … .”
Balder walked towards the entrance with weak steps, as if he didn’t have the strength to respond.
“Has this door been calculated?”
“of course. but… .”
Raon frowned as he looked at the table next to the door.
“I can’t see the state-of-the-art alert warning artifact Ppaekkom No. 1 here. “I think it broke when the door fell off.”
“That didn’t even happen!”
“Dorian, did you see it too?”
“yes? uh… . Look, I saw it! “Pakkum No. 1!”
Dorian nodded, avoiding the swordsman’s eyes.
“Bkakkum! “I said Ppaekkum, not Ppaekkom!”
Balder shouted as if he had caught it well.
“That’s not the point. “Commander!”
“hey!”
Dogoe was waving his hand as if he was telling me to give him money.
“Ha, do I have to die for this to end?”
Balder looked up into the air and opened his mouth as if he had been liberated.
“So how much is Ppaekkom?”
“30 gold coins.”
“Did you agree on any price? “Why are there 30 in total?”
He cleared out his empty wallet and laughed.
“I have no money anymore! “You bastard!”
“It can also be traumatic.”
“credit… .”
“Since you are a special inspector, I will only charge you 10% of interest per day.”
Raon nodded and raised a finger.
“Even loan sharks don’t accept things like that! “You crazy guy!”
Balder went crazy and said he was going to jump up and down, pounding his chest with his fist and stamping his feet.
Coo coo coo coo!
The table completely collapsed from the impact.
“Add table… .”
Dorian now wrote down the damaged furniture in his notebook.
“Ugh! Please wait. “I will definitely send it today.”
He left the annex with a grim expression as if he were about to die.
Raon followed behind and used the space sword to strike the center of the garden.
Quaaaaaaaaa!
An explosion occurred inside the ground, shaking the garden violently.
“This, this… .”
“I guess it’s because of the inspector.”
“What did I do again!”
Balder widened his eyes as if wondering what he was talking about.
“Did you know that plants can understand human speech?”
“uh?”
“There is research that shows that if you say good things to plants, their growth will accelerate, and if you say bad things to them, their growth will slow down.”
“What does that mean!”
“When the inspector first came here, he said the plants were dirty and shabby. “It seems like the seeds committed suicide due to the shock.”
While saying that, I used the space sword again.
Paaaaang!
A series of explosions occurred inside the garden, sending dust flying into the air.
“Look. “I exploded from the inside because I couldn’t overcome the stress.”
“Don’t be ridiculous! “Didn’t you use Aurors just now?”
Balder noticed that Raon was using Auror even though he was filled with anger like Jeonju.
“That’s to protect myself. “Did you even see the aura flying out of my hand?”
“Well, that’s… .”
Balder, who did not know how to use the space sword, naturally could not answer.
-It looks like the King is going out of his mind.
Lars sighed as if he was dumbfounded.
-I can’t believe I’m using the skills I learned while catching lizards in something like this… .
The guy shook his head, saying he was a devil himself.
“If this happens, I can’t help it. This side should also be compensated. The seeds here are all soaked in germanium… .”
“stop. stop! Please stop!”
Balder covered his ears and ran away with all his might. In an instant, his body disappeared from sight.
“Now that the special inspector has left, let’s do the remaining calculations among ourselves.”
Raon looked behind him and gestured to the remaining employees of the inspection department.
“Ugh… .”
“How the hell are we here…” .”
The employees of the inspection department trembled their lips as they overlapped Raon’s hand with the reaper’s sickle.
* * *
Rimmer, who was leaning his back against Tiger Rock, stood up.
“This is my first time seeing Balder run away. “A guy who held on and fought no matter how many enemies he had got spewed out like that?”
He burst out laughing as he watched Balder run away without even looking back.
“Did you expect it to look like this?”
Rimmer looked up with a smile on his face.
“No way.”
Glenn, who was standing on Tiger Rock, gently shook his head. She had a smile on her face as if she, too, was finding this situation amusing.
“I thought that because Harian was there, he would stop Balder’s plans. but… .”
Glenn turned his gaze away from Balder, who was running away, and saw Raon instructing the inspection department employees to prune the garden.
“I didn’t think Raon would take advantage of this situation.”
“Well, who would think of that? “Raon, that’s crazy.”
Rimmer nodded, agreeing with Glenn.
“I stole 60 gold coins at the 5th training camp, but I didn’t know they would take me to the annex to extract them. “He’s really toxic too.”
“That’s not it.”
Glenn shook his head and looked at Sylvia, who was standing behind Raon. Her pale complexion began to glow again.
“Raon took Balder to the annex to give Silvia confidence.”
“Confidence?”
“okay. Raon said he would elevate Sylvia to the next level next year. Then, Sylvia will also encounter her family’s executives again. “At that time, I showed her a broken Balder so that she could gain confidence.”
“ah… .”
Rimmer nodded as he listened to Glenn.
“As expected, he’s a deep guy… hmm?”
As he looked away in admiration, he saw Raon ripping off gold coins from the inspection department employees.
No matter how much I looked at him, he just looked like a bully taking money out of kids’ noses.
“Is that really true?”
As he asked, Glenn started shaking his fist.
“Go, matriarch?”
“I’m angry.”
“yes?”
“I feel resentful that I can’t give anything to that amazing guy. It would be nice to take my money like Balder did… .”
Glenn shook his fist as if he was really angry.
“If you threaten me, I can get ripped off as much as you want!”
“… … .”
Rimmer shook his head as he looked at Glenn, who muttered that he could hand over Sieghardt’s entire report.
“This family will soon be destroyed.”
Should I look for another job? .
