Chapter 381 Chapter
117. Who is the real Runcandel
?
“Do young master. Master Jin…!”
The first to run in haste was the butler Petro.
At the meeting, he waited for Jin to come back at the Hubester central transport gate every day after Mary publicized the contents of Temar’s tomb.
It was September 15th that Mary had spoken at the meeting, so ten days had already passed since then. During those 10 days, Petro was so worried about Jin that his soy sauce melted.
“I thought you would be the first to find me this time too.”
Unlike Petro, who was restlessly sweating, Jin smiled with a calm expression.
However, it seemed very difficult to Petro because he was covered in the blood of the killers of the Ghost Corps.
“Where are you injured!? Hello! Call medical personnel immediately and bring a heated towel!”
“The medical staff is done.”
“Bocchan, what about that big sack?”
“Oh this.”
dump!
Jin set the robe that was slung over his shoulder like a sack on the floor.
After reflexively checking what was in the sack, Petro’s face immediately became contemplative.
“this person is. Isn’t that Fei Froch of the Ghost Corps?”
Inside the sack was Fey, still unconscious and with her hands and feet bound.
“A prisoner for negotiations.”
The reason Jin kept Fei alive was that she was of great value as a prisoner. Killing them would only make the ghosts’ resentment live deeper, but keeping them alive would make them useful.
“You mean the band of demons attacked the young master?”
Petro clenched his fists and gnashed his teeth.
“okay. Lata Froch sent her sister and ten killers. And, as you can see, Fay was captured by me.”
“…So that’s what the Council of Elders did.”
Petro immediately inferred the subject of the request. Needless to say, at this time, the only people who could entrust a request to the Demon Corps were the Council of Elders.
Jin nodded.
“I was thinking that there would be some movement in the Senate after Lady Mary revealed the information she received from the young master. But I didn’t know how fast it would be, so I wasn’t prepared. sorry.”
“What do you have to prepare for? are you okay. Gilly?”
At the mention of Gilly’s name, Petro’s expression darkened rapidly.
“Currently in custody.”
Even in Jin’s eyes, there was a moment of life.
However, he soon regained his calm gaze.
“where? It’s probably not a dungeon. If that was the case, Murakan wouldn’t have stayed still.”
“When the story of the detention came out, Mr. Murakan destroyed part of the Garden of Swords. The Guardian Knights worked hard to stop Murakan-nim.”
“Isn’t there any action taken against Murakan?”
“That’s right.”
Despite breaking part of the Garden of Swords and, like Gilly, being the one with the most information about Jin, Murakan went unpunished.
“If Gilly hadn’t stopped it, the irreversible might have happened.”
It was thanks to the fact that he did not exceed the threshold of being respected as the ‘family’s long-time guardian’. If he crossed that line, even Murakan couldn’t be safe.
“Fortunate in misfortune.”
“And I heard that instead of prison, Gilly is detained in one of the secret abodes of the Council of Elders. Chairman Homin promised to treat them humanely, so you don’t have to worry too much.”
Gilly was detained by the Council of Elders for visiting Temar’s grave with Jin.
Also, since she is Jin’s nanny, she would know more information about Jin than anyone else, so it was natural for the Senate to question her.
‘Themar’s Tomb’ was information that Runcandel could not help but react sensitively to.
‘It was a pity that Murakan wasn’t there in Wantaramo Forest, but it was good that he left it with the family. With him, no one would have been able to treat Gilly very carelessly. It would have been dangerous if I had crossed the line.’
In addition, Homin Chairman Telot took good care of Gilly this time as well. It was impossible even for him to prevent detention, but he was considerate of Jin as much as possible.
“I’ll have a lot of work to do as soon as I get back.”
Jin wiped the blood scab from his face with the towel brought by the servant.
It was time to shed new blood.
“egg plant.”
I rode the steel wagon and moved to the Garden of Swords.
The other Guardian Knights at the gateway informed Jin’s return to the Sword Garden even faster than that.
Cheekyung…!
The sound of the bar on the gate of the Garden of Swords being released was particularly heavy.
As expected, the Garden of Swords had an unusual atmosphere from the entrance. Hundreds of Guardian Knights were lined up in an intimidating manner, with the Council of Elders and riders standing tall in front of them.
Eventually, Jin gets off the carriage.
The four swords tightened Jin’s throat. It was the sword of the execution knights.
“Disarm the 12th rider.”
Jin laughed at the low voices of the executive knights.
“I feel like a traitor.”
“I told you to disarm.”
“What if you don’t like it?”
“I have no choice but to follow the law.”
Senior President!
Suddenly, Jin screamed. A loud voice filled with condensed energy broke the silence of the garden.
It was impossible.
The reason why the 12th Horseman, the youngest member of the family, calls the elder chairman so disrespectfully.
Instantly, thick veins appeared on Jorden’s forehead, and the elders almost popped out of their eyes in awe.
‘Wow, that madman. He’s my younger brother, but he’s a really nice crazy guy.’
Among the jockeys, only Mary clenched her fists and thought it was somehow exhilarating.
The rest of the riders just stared at Jin, doubting their ears. Even Runtia, who always took the attitude that everything was annoying, was narrowing her eyes.
“That me…!”
“Lord! How dare the 12th Horseman call the family elder chairman in such a disrespectful way!”
The elders, who had come to their senses belatedly, looked at Jorden’s eyes while arguing.
Jorden was still staring at Jin with a somewhat stunned face, as if he was quite shocked.
The execution knights were still holding their blades to Jin’s neck with expressionless faces.
“…sir!”
“Poo. Khumm hmm.”
In the end, Mary could not hold back her laughter at that point and cleared her throat.
In fact, she was quite angry with Jin for not showing up at the meeting, but she couldn’t hate it at all because the youngest always gave her so much fun.
“I don’t think you’re going to kill me here anyway, so why don’t you treat me a little more lightly?”
“what…?”
“My family will have a lot to say to me. Without me, how will you find the tomb of your father and how will you recreate the former glory of your family?”
Jorden’s brow narrowed.
He was now glaring at Jin as if he would kill him, barely holding on to his reason.
“Do you believe in that and run rampant like this, 12 riders?”
Contrary to the murderous intent in his eyes, Jorden spoke very politely.
“That’s right.”
“It’s not a waste of life. I don’t know if the information you informed the 7th Horseman is really worthwhile.”
“It seems that the elder chairman deserves honor.”
Every word scratched Jorden’s nerves. It looked as if the swollen veins would burst at any moment.
“Do you dare to think that you can talk of honor to me?”
“What else can you not say? Rather, I mentioned honor because I wanted to help the elder president. He even brought the Black Sword Society’s executive knights and put a knife to my throat…”
Toktok.
Jin touched the blades of the execution knights with his fingers and continued talking behind his back.
“this. What kind of disgrace is that if you just walk over without cutting me? It’s not just one or two people watching. That means you can’t shut down rumors.”
Petro, who was standing next to him, felt as if every time Jin said a word, his lifespan was reduced by several years. Cold sweat ran down the white face of Petro without a break.
But Jin was sure.
‘The elders don’t kill me.’
It’s not that you can’t.
It was quite possible that Jorden could not overcome the provocation and ordered the execution knights to bring Jin’s head.
It was only possible, but there was no benefit to Jorden at all.
On the contrary, he had no choice but to suffer huge losses. Not only would there be no means to keep Joshua in check, but if other forces benefited from Temar’s tomb in the future, rumors would come out.
Even if he wanted to, Jorden wasn’t necessarily able to kill Jin.
‘Even if the elder chairman turns around and orders the execution knights to kill me, there is a high possibility that my mother will stop it.’
Unless Rosa has more information about Temar’s tomb than Jin. From her point of view, Jin must not die yet.
Jorden losing his temper and Rosa stopping him. Not everyone has a 100% chance, but Jin was confident.
Jin slightly raised his eyes and looked at the main building of the Sword Garden. He smiled as he focused on Rosa’s office.
Silence passed.
There is no better word to describe this situation than that.
“…There is no place to be arrogant and self-indulgent. It seems that times have changed that someone like you can lift the flag of Runkandel.”
Naturally, Jorden did not anticipate such a picture when he decided to press the just-returned Jin with the Enforcer Knights.
The look he wanted was for Jin to recognize the seriousness of this situation and ask for help from others to ease the situation.
If Jin had offered a deal to the other riders or Telot to pass on the pressure of the Council of Elders, Jorden would use that as an excuse to figure out exactly who Jin and his potential allies were.
I didn’t know Jin would come out this far. Just like everyone who has always dealt with Jin.
So, Jorden had no choice but to make a choice.
Really, if I just let it go, as Jin said, the disgrace will inevitably spread.
“Adapting to change is not easy, Mr. President.”
“okay. That’s right. But you haven’t disarmed yet.”
Jorden shook his head and spoke quietly.
“Cut off his arms.”
Squeak-!
As soon as Jorden’s order was issued, the execution knights cut off Jin’s arms without hesitation.
tuk tuk.
The severed arm made a dull sound as it fell to the floor.
And Jin didn’t even look at his fallen arm.
One step, Jin moved closer to Jorden.
“Are you done?”
