Chapter 382 Chapter
117. Who is the real Runkandel (2)
gurgling…!
Blood fountains poured from the cut surface. A puddle of blood quickly pooled on the floor, and the executioners took a step back with their swords drawn.
Jin still had a calm face. And he didn’t take his eyes off Jorden.
For Jorden, the plaintive gaze of the fledgling could not have been so terrifying. Even though he was not armed, he only approached him with his arm cut off, but for some reason he felt a cold sensation on his back as if he had been cut.
‘It’s a leap…!’
Such a thought passed through Jorden’s head.
flight.
It is a leap to see the young Shiron Runkandel from that cheeky lump of blood now.
Only once when competing with Chiron as the 2nd jockey at that time. Jorden once received an unspoken warning from Shiron.
a look.
A look that says he will get rid of it if he continues to challenge.
The young Jorden was able to realize it only after facing Shiron’s calm warning. He and I were of different ranks, lived in different worlds, and were of different dimensions.
He said that he was no more than an ant that Shiron could trample and kill at any time.
‘At that time, the family head was already at the top of the world. He was a literal soloist.’
But why did the 12th rider with his arms cut off have the same aura as him? That terrible aura that no one has experienced since Shiron!
Chewing…!
While I closed and opened my eyes once, the appreciation passed quickly like light.
All this sense of déjà vu melted into a fleeting moment of barely blinking.
Medical staff Call medical staff…!
The sound of someone screaming urgently pierced my ears as if I was listening underwater.
Huh!
Only then was Jorden able to swallow his breath and get out of the déjà vu. There were goose bumps on the back of his neck like iron powder.
“Get the medics quickly! damn fast!”
It was the butler, Petro, who was shouting that.
The elders and riders stand in front, but the butler and the like can’t use such evil. However, there was only one thought in Petro’s mind that he should start treatment before Jin’s arm necrosis.
Even for the best healers, it is not easy to completely heal an amputation.
It’s as simple as attaching a fallen body back together, but the arm of an unmanned person is different from that of an ordinary person. If the original function was not completely restored, the unmanned body was no different from having its wings bent.
Even the best healers of the continent can never return to their original state if they miss even a little bit right after the amputation.
“Medical staff!”
Mary also bit her lower lip and called the medical staff. Her knights frantically ran toward the medical center.
Before 20 seconds had passed, the knights carrying medical staff returned. In the meantime, Difus and Mary stopped the bleeding on Jin’s arms, sweating profusely.
‘Jorden Dangsuk, you’re not going to end well.’
In the midst of confusion, Jin swallowed a smile of victory.
However, even though Jin hid his smile, everyone who watched this scene in the courtyard knew it. Which one is the winner, Jin or Jorden?
“Get out of the way!”
“You two go and get your medicine! We just need to give first aid and move the 12th rider to the operating room!”
Runcandel healers looked over Jin’s body and screamed.
“Is the youngest okay!? I mean, you can get your arm back!”
Brother Tona, who had been watching the fire for a long time, eventually ran up and asked the medical team a question.
“I cannot give you a definitive answer!”
The bleeding was severe, and Jin had already accumulated fatigue from dealing with assassins before returning to the family, so the situation was not very good.
Runkandel’s medical center is obviously made up of Hufester’s best healers, but even they weren’t sure if they would be able to get the arm back perfectly.
“Be sure to treat yourself perfectly!”
“I’m fine before the 7th rider, so don’t worry too much.”
Jin looked at Mary and smiled lightly. The breathing of the healers pouring magic into the cut surface was rough.
“And I’m sorry for leaving the meeting alone.”
“Never mind that shit. I still have to fight with you for a long time.”
“Petro.”
“Yes, young boy!”
Jin pointed at Faye in the wagon with his chin.
“That is my spoils.”
This means that you should not pay or leave anyone to check while you are undergoing surgery.
Originally, it was a difficult order for Petro to carry out. In this situation, it was the position of Petro and his master, Jin, that had no choice but to give Fay if the Council of Elders demanded it.
However, with this incident, the name Jin Runkandel within the family has been elevated to a higher rank.
No one can touch the 12 riders or the people of the 12 riders carelessly anymore.
Even the elder chairman put pressure on Jin with his own valid reasons. Now that this disgrace has spread, touching Jin within the family has become a matter that really needs resolution.
“All right!”
Although he was still worried about Jin, Petro felt his backbone tingle with pride rising from the depths of his heart.
“I will move to the 12th rider operating room!”
“Please take care of me.”
“I will do my best.”
After completing first aid, the medical team began moving Jin to the operating room.
Jorden and the elders watched for a while and said nothing.
The elder chairman still has some business to do with the 12 riders, so everyone should step back, or the butler dares to intervene and reprimand the act of calling the medical staff, or the enforcement knights tell them not to make a fuss about cutting off the arms of the rider who broke the law
… was not in the mood to do such things.
Above all, Jorden had lost some of his fighting spirit.
‘Although it’s momentary, this Jorden felt the fear of that kid just with a sense of déjà vu.’
Is the fear he felt from Shiron when he was young that great? Or did the 12 horseman show a will that is difficult to describe? I couldn’t tell which one it was.
‘One thing is for sure, he’s not an easy guy to look at…!’
In fact, Jorden recognized Jin’s potential from long ago. It was also true that Jin clearly had an extraordinary corner compared to other jockeys.
Nevertheless, I never judged myself as an opponent who could ‘really fight’.
Just like Shiron did a long time ago, he only thought that he could trample it at any time.
And that thought was completely changed by today’s humiliation. It was the first time in my entire life that I felt defeated even after grabbing a sword and slashing an opponent at will.
‘He’s a bigger threat to me than Joshua 2nd Horseman. No, maybe…’
He couldn’t bear to look back, but Jorden was aware of Rosa’s gaze from the main house.
‘It can be more dangerous than Sir Rosa.’
There was another person who had similar thoughts to Jorden.
Joshua Runcandel Family’s 2nd Horseman. He looked down at the puddle of Jean’s spilled blood, filled with foreboding.
‘…It seemed reckless at first glance, but it was clearly a calculated act. He must have been preparing to set off a bomb on the family from the moment Mary urged him to publicize the contents of the tomb of the first patriarch.’
The battle he just waged with Elder Jorden was just the beginning.
Joshua was so sure.
‘I’m not the kind of person who would ever end up like this. He must have done something like this because he definitely believes in it.’
After Mary burst out the information she heard from Jin at the last meeting.
Joshua had been thinking about what Jin’s intentions were all along.
Legacy.
Mary said that there were legacies left by Solderlet for Jin at the tomb of the first family head.
‘It’s probably not just because I decided at some point that finding those heritages alone would be a daunting task. For some other reason. What is it, Jin?’
It was necessary to figure out Jin’s intentions before the operation was over.
As soon as the operation is over, it will surely cause another commotion in the family.
The youngest Joshua thought was a great man who would go on to do so.
I had to deal with it. I couldn’t follow the maknae’s plan if I was engrossed in the unexpected development just like before.
The number of cases cluttered Joshua’s mind. My head felt like it was going to explode, and my heart was filled with anxiety for some reason.
‘There must be something essential. The youngest’s actions must ultimately be to get what he ultimately wants.’
As Joshua pondered over and over again, he eventually came to a conclusion.
California State Competition!
He wondered why he hadn’t immediately remembered it.
‘The reason why the youngest leaked information about the first family head to Mary was to gain an advantage in the family head competition.’
Inducing other Runcandels to participate in the search for the grave through Mary, having only Mary attend the meeting and being obsessed with it, and losing Jorden’s prestige by losing both arms as soon as he returned.
All of them were actions to gain an upper hand in the competition for ownership.
‘The reason why Mary leaked information about the first patriarch was to gain a justification. The reason Mary attended the meeting alone must have been to secure the last inheritance she could obtain without borrowing the power of her family. And the thing that lowered the prestige of the elder…’
Show off his presence.
Having come to a conclusion, Joshua took a look around.
What you can see is the swaying runcandels.
Jin’s every move was now having a significant impact on Runcandel.
From a certain moment on, Jin did not look at the atmosphere of the family, but the family became a situation that followed the flow caused by Jin.
That meant that the position of the 12th rider had a considerable weight.
It also meant that there could be cracks in his position as the next family head, which he had solidly established.
“Howard.”
Joshua found his butler.
“Yes sir.”
“After today, those who stake their fate on the youngest will start appearing.”
Then Howard flinched and met Joshua’s eyes.
“No surprise. It’s only natural that he’s the guy his father had his eye on in the first place. There will be very few of them, but it only takes a moment for the rolling snowball to grow.”
“How do you plan to deal with it?”
“Gather all my knights to the Garden of Swords. Everyone who can arrive until the youngest child’s surgery is over, without exception.”
“All right.”
The reason Joshua gathered the knights was no different.
No matter what bombs Jin detonates when he wakes up from surgery.
It was because it was necessary to show the dignity of the next family head, the second rider of the family.
