Loud noises were heard from inside the room.

Baron Romero’s wrath was expected, but the problem was that the punishment imposed on Roman was too harsh.

That was why I couldn’t understand Roman’s actions.

It would have been better for him if he had revealed that I had proposed to break up first, but Roman did not even mention Flora’s name.

“Are you really crazy?”

“I don’t know. Anyway, I’ll be fine.”

Roman’s reaction was blunt.

Even as Flora looked up at him, he only wiped the blood flowing from his head with his sleeve.

The wound on his head was not severe.

Baron Romero had no intention of inflicting any serious harm, and blood was only dripping from the areas where his skin had torn off.

“Do you know what you’ve just done? It’s Blood Fang, the Blood Fang. It’s a group known to be atrocious in the vicinity. How are you going to solve it without the help of your family?”

Blood Fang.

Their notoriety wasn’t limited to Dmitry.

There were many incidents in Lawrence, especially the terrorist attack on the nobles, which raised their notoriety.

“The reason Blood Fang is scary is that it has nothing to lose. They never invade the nobility’s realm unless they touch their rice bowls, but if they think the nobility has harmed them, they will not spare their lives and retaliate unconditionally. They’re not normal. They even put magic bombs on their bodies and commit suicide attacks. Do you really think you can handle them? It’s okay to just tell the truth, so go straight to Lord Baron Dmitry and get down on your knees and ask him for mercy.”

“Why do I have to do that?”

“What do you mean ‘why’?! There are plenty of reasons…”

“You’re a funny person.”

Roman sighed and laughed.

Roman did not waver while looking at the eyes that seemed to melt the hearts of many men at once.

“I know what you mean. However, when proposing to break up the marriage, you didn’t think about my circumstances at all, but when I said that I would take on all the responsibility and solve the problem myself, then you’re worried. Well, that’s not right, is it?. From the moment you mentioned ‘breakup’ when you first met me, you had no right to worry about my circumstances. That is the relationship between you and me.”

Flora.

After meeting her, Roman showed respect as her fiancée.

He got rid of the smell of blood from his body, sprayed a lot of perfume on his body that was bad enough to distort his expression, and wore a robe that seemed to choke his breath.

It was the least he could do to show his courtesy to her.

Roman was thinking about breaking up with Flora, but he still didn’t want to ruin things by hurting a woman who didn’t harm him.

However, Flora didn’t feel the same way as him.

The first day she saw me, the first words she said to me were, “Let’s break off our engagement.”

Looking at the cold expression on her face, Roman knew he didn’t need her consideration.

So, he easily accepted the breaking of their engagement.

He said he would take full responsibility because he didn’t want to be associated with Flora anymore.

“…”

Flora was perplexed.

This was something she had never experienced in her life.

Ordinary men take her words positively, but Roman was extremely temperamental.

Flora was at a loss for words.

Looking down at her, Roman said coldly.

“We are strangers now. So, I will take care of my own business.”

He drew a line.

Even though it is a flower that many men admire, its value varies from person to person.

Roman looked at Flora as if she was nothing and just left his place, leaving Flora behind.

All the commotion finally cleared up.

Alone in the office, Baron Romero drank until the sun went down.

“You are drinking too much.”

Rihanna Dmitry.

Roman’s mother and Baron Romero’s wife checked her surroundings and sighed softly.

The place was a mess.

Objects thrown by Baron Romero were scattered on the ground, and the table was full of empty wine bottles.

The smell of alcohol emanating from the bottle was enough to make her face frown.

Baron Romero, whose face grew red from drunkenness, looked at Rihanna with a painful expression on his face.

“Rihanna, I used violence against Roman today. I know better than anyone how wrong that is, but when I got myself together, I saw blood running down Roman’s head. Aren’t I a horrible father? Using violence just because my son is not growing up the way I want him to.”

He shook his head in pain.

About a month ago, Lawrence and Dmitry both talked about getting married.

Flora’s father, Viscount Lawrence, sat Flora in front of him and said with a troubled look on his face.

“My wise daughter, I don’t think it’s necessary for me to explain how bad the land’s situation is right now to you. We need strength now. It could be financial power, and it would be even better if it were military forces. What is certain now is that in order to receive a force sufficient to solve our difficulties, the Lawrence family’s treasure, you, must be presented for the arranged marriage. I am so sorry. Because of this ugly father, you have to endure such a choice.”

On that day, Flora’s world collapsed.

Although most noble daughters are sold in arranged marriages, Flora still had her own values. Forging her lifelong bond with the person she truly loves. She believed that even if the person was not a prince on a white horse, conditional problems could be overcome if there was love between them.

But to think it would be Dmitry!

This was out of the blue.

‘Twenty years ago, the Dmitry family was an ordinary commoner’s family. I was not expecting a prince on a white horse but to have to make a lifelong bond with Dmitry, who is infested with workers in the mines.’

It is said that the conditional issue is not very important, but that is acceptable when I actually love the other person.

No matter how hard I think about it, I don’t love Dmitry. I don’t want to dedicate my dream of marriage, which I always had, to Dmitry’s miner like this.

The problem wasn’t just that.

At first, she tried to marry Dmitry’s second son, who had a promising future, but at some point, the subject of marriage changed to Dmitry’s eldest son.

I’ve heard rumors about him. What a lousy person he is; even my father knows that Roman Dmitry is called Dmitry’s Fool.

‘I really hate it.’

It was terrible.

Dmitry’s Fool.

This person has the rumor that he is confined to the territory of the outskirts and immersed in enjoyment without even dreaming of entering the capital until his mid-twenties because he lacks talent in both martial arts and cunningness.

At a noble party which was held a while ago, I had heard that he wasn’t even good-looking.

In my mind, there wasn’t even the slightest bit of intention of marrying Roman Dmitry or loving him.

So, I was worried.

Flora had been living a good life as a wise daughter, but this was an area she could never compromise on.

‘This cannot be real.’

The land’s situation?

Of course, I know it well.

But even so, I don’t want to be sold to Dmitry’s Fool.

She wasn’t as wise and devoted daughter as her father thought she might have been, and she decided to leave the situation to the heavens after breaking her engagement.

Although the purpose of the visit to Dmitry is to meet and spend time with the target of the marriage, which was arranged in advance without her permission, her actual purpose is to inform him of breaking the engagement.

That’s how she met Roman Dmitry.

And she was sure.

‘As the rumors say, he’s unattractive.’

His height seemed to be around 170cm.

The impression from his dark hair was sharp and manly, but his charisma eroded as his skin was not in great condition.

Above all else, there was a strong scent of perfume coming from Roman.

Nobles originally liked to use perfume, but right now, Roman had clearly used too much of it.

Flora was unaware of the fact that it was Roman’s consideration to get rid of the smell of blood; she thought that Roman, who was immersed in pleasure as rumored, had been buried with the scent of a woman.

The more she saw him, the more certain she became.

Flora said firmly, “I wish that our marriage doesn’t happen.”

Right, he will probably object.

As a person who actively argued for an arranged marriage for her beauty, it would take considerable effort to convince him otherwise.

Flora clenched her little fist.

No matter how Roman Dmitry reacted, she would give her all to persuade him to end this marriage.

However.

“Yes, let’s do that.”

Roman’s answer was completely unexpected.

At the unexpected answer, Flora’s eyes widened.

“…Are you really fine with breaking up the marriage?

The Blood Fang gang looked at each other with bewildered expressions.

In particular, the man with a ferocious face, who seemed to be the captain, looked around to see if there were any unknown variables.

‘Why the hell is the young master acting so unruly?’

There was nobody around.

The general population had already retreated. Not even any enlisted soldiers of Dmitry were visible, and the surroundings had become utterly empty.

There were only two people facing the Blood Fang gang.

Only Roman Dmitry and his servant, Hans.

“Young master, I understand that you are a child of aristocrats who does not know much about the world, but it will be a problem to show such a disrespectful attitude towards others outside the castle and even more towards us, who have fang tattoos. In this low life, protecting your pride is what puts food on the table. So, if we just step down, we will lose face as the members of the Blood Fang, even if the opponent is the son of the Dmitry family.”

Slide.

All the gang members behind him pulled out their weapons.

Showing their fierce eyes, they had the will to attack immediately when the commander’s command was given.

Roman laughed.

“This makes me sure.”

“What do you mean?”

“You guys are literally trash. If you treat this land’s owner like this, I don’t even have to find out how you treat the others.”

“Trash? This son of a—huh?!”

The captain couldn’t even swear.

The moment the captain’s face turned red at his remarks, his pupils widened at the sudden change in the appearance of Roman.

“Attack him!”

“Haaaa!”

The Blood Fang gang members rushed in all at once.

With the dagger he held in his hand, the captain also attacked Roman’s vital points without hesitation, but he dodged the attacks with a hair’s breadth.

His black hair blew beautifully in the wind. Roman’s sharp eyes met the captain’s.

At that moment.

Thud!

“Keuk, Kugh.”

The captain, whose neck had been pierced by a branch, tried to stop the leaking blood.

The situation happened so quickly.

The Blood Fang gang members attacked Roman in desperation.

At the attack of nearly ten men, Hans stomped his feet fast, hurriedly grabbed a large stone around him, and tried to help Roman.

Surprisingly, he soon realized he didn’t need to.

Roman, who had dealt with the captain, was able to dodge all of his men’s attacks with a movement that almost seemed inhuman and finally dealt with them one by one.

It was curious enough to see him fight a dagger with a branch, and every time he attacked with the branch, a hole was punctured in the vital points of one of the men.

“He’s a monster, a monster…!”

“Is this really Roman Dmitry?”

The men were perplexed.

At first, they risked their lives to fight, but they were terrified when they saw their comrades dying helplessly.

However, the tides of the fight had already turned.

The men fell one after the other.

When the last remaining man was about to run away, Roman’s tough hand grabbed the man’s hair.

Grasp!

“Ahhh, let go, let it go!”

The man was furious.

At the sight of his colleagues’ unconscious bodies scattered around him, his face became pale and tired.

Roman said, “You have violated Dmitry’s law. However, you tried to cover up the situation by threatening me instead of reflecting on it. In order for an organization to carry on in the right manner, it is necessary to abide by the law. I will not take your life, but I will show people the fear of the law by setting you as an example of what they shouldn’t become.”

A man who was called the Heavenly Demon.

In Murim, Roman was the law.

As a lifelong leader, Roman knew what choices he had to make for the law, even if he was cruel.

Shove.

“Ugh.”

He knelt the man down.

Then he tilted his head back, and with his other hand, he pulled his tongue out.

“The sin of playing with the tongue in the wrong way. Pay the price accordingly.”

“Euu… euuuu, euuuuk!”

The man struggled desperately.

However, there was no way he could escape.

Roman’s tough hand strongly suppressed the man’s body, and Roman grabbed the dagger that had fallen on the floor and cut off the man’s tongue. His blood splattered. The man groaned, and his voice roaring in pain echoed around him. The villagers tightly closed their eyes at the brutal scene. However, Roman had already cut off the man’s tongue neatly without the slightest change in expression.

Thud.

The cut-off tongue fell to the ground.

The man lowered his head.

He wept with a bewildered look on his face, and his palms struggled to stop the gushing of blood from his mouth.

“My name is Roman Dmitry. If you don’t like the punishment you’ve been given, you may come to me at any time.”

The Heavenly Demon Cult.

In the world of the survival of the fittest, the price of breaking the law was always paid with blood.

Roman looked at Hans.

When Hans saw the young master’s changed appearance for the first time, he was startled and stepped backward.

“Call the guards. Report today’s events to them, and send troops here to do a follow-up.”

“Ah, I see… Gulp, it’s disgusting.”

Hans hiccuped.

He checked their corpses once and hurried to the castle with a pale expression on his face.

An overwhelming victory.

However, Roman’s expression was not good.

‘You have such a garbage body.’

Roman.

No, Baek Joong-hyuk.

In Murim, he was the one who reached the top.

Hundreds and thousands of warriors were slaughtered because they could not handle one Baek Joong-hyuk, and when the blood flowed as large and wide as a river, the Heavenly Demon Cult admitted that he was the ruler of Murim.

As a man with the spirit of Baek Joong-hyuk, he could not help but be dissatisfied.

‘The flow of energy is messed up. The amount of qi he has in his body is so small.’

It was the worst.

Still, there were traces of training in martial arts, but it was close to someone who had no training in Baek Joong-hyuk’s expectations.

‘I have to start over with my body every now and then. Fortunately, I have past experiences of honing my martial arts skills as Baek Joong-hyuk. If I set the right direction from the start and practice martial arts, I can get meaningful results even in the worst conditions.’

He had various thoughts in my mind.

First of all, it was necessary to quickly gather information and proceed with the metamorphosis of the bones to create the basis of the body.

It was then.

“Young master, thank you very much for your help.”

He was the boy who had been beaten earlier.

He bowed his head and showed manners while limping his legs, perhaps because of his lack of mobility.

A pitiful sight.

Nevertheless, Roman’s voice was cold.

“I didn’t help you out of pity. I executed the Blood Fang’s punishment because they broke Dmitry’s laws, and you can’t escape that responsibility either. So, explain your situation without the slightest lie. If your words are judged to be false, even your tongue will not be safe.”

“…I understand, young master.”

The boy’s expression calmed down.

He was quite determined.

It was impressive that he did not shed a single sound even when beaten, but it certainly looked unusual.

“As you know, Blood Fang is a group that lends money with high-interest rates. My parents borrowed money from Blood Fang to rent the land; if the crops were harvested normally, the money could be fully repaid. However, due to the intentional interference of the Blood Fang, the crops were ruined. At first, I didn’t know why they did this, but I later found out that they did it because they coveted my sister. Young master, I feel sad. Although we don’t have a lot of money, we don’t do any harm to others. There is no lie in my words. Please save us from the abyss of this evil.”

The boy bowed his head.

The words were coherent, and there was not even a slight tremor in the boy’s voice announcing the situation.

Roman responded with interest.

His face was black and skinny, without muscles, but the boy’s eyes showed a sense of brilliance.

‘I found the Crazy Demon, one of the Four Heavenly Kings¹, in such a shabby environment. At that time, he was just a little boy, but later, he grew up and became a stronger ally than anyone else. It’s kind of like I’m seeing him again.’

“What is your name?”

“…It’s Kevin.”

“Kevin, hmm. I will remember your name and within a few days, I will make sure this case is handled through the right process.”

“Gasp! Thank you! Thank you so much!”

The boy named Kevin expressed his gratitude several times.

Roman grinned.

A new life.

A new relationship.

Already, his heart was beating excitedly.

After sorting out the situation, Roman put on a robe with the help of Hans.

Soon, it was time for Lawrence’s daughter to arrive.

She was a typical aristocratic young girl, and he couldn’t meet her wearing clothes stained with blood and filthy muddy water.

And in the process of changing clothes, he could hear the story of the two families’ engagement through Hans.

“To be honest, this marriage is an arranged marriage in which mutual interests are met. The Lawrence family has recently waged several wars due to strife with neighboring estates, and their financial situation has become very poor. So, to solve the financial problem, they proposed an arranged marriage to the Dmitry family. The good news is that the young master actively supported this marriage. The young girl of the Lawrence family had a good reputation as a beautiful woman in the vicinity, so the young master saw her and fell in love at first sight.”

It looked like a painting.

The two houses, Lawrence and Dmitry.

Lawrence needed money, and Dmitry needed the background to establish himself as a particular aristocratic family.

It was a mutually beneficial transaction.

The only problem was that Lawrence wanted the second son of the Dmitry family, but Roman Dmitry actively expressed his intention to marry, and the two set to be married.

And today was the day the two would meet for the first time.

Roman had only seen Lawrence’s daughter from afar at an aristocratic party, so the two never met and talked in person.

‘Marriage huh.’

In fact, it was something that Roman did not even want to do.

He allowed himself to go with the flow because of the reality he had faced; however, he was already willing to overthrow this marriage.

‘Marriage is something that happens when both have feelings of love for each other. In the process of forming a lifelong relationship, conditional issues such as family background are not important. I’ll have to look for an opportunity and find a way to break this marriage.’

The esteemed daughter’s beauty and her background.

Neither of them mattered to Roman.

Surprisingly, the problem was quickly resolved.

That afternoon, as scheduled, Viscount Lawrence’s daughter visited Dmitry.

“My name is Flora Lawrence.”

As rumored, she was a beautiful woman.

The blonde hair that had grown down to her waist was luxurious enough to arouse admiration from the viewers, and nothing was lacking in her features.

A typical beauty. In particular, the clear and calm eyes, like a lake, made me feel like I was being sucked in as soon as I saw them.

He seemed to understand why Roman Dmitry wanted to marry her.

She was already a woman of considerable value with just her appearance alone.

Flora asked to walk separately.

Then, as she reached a quiet space where no one was watching, her face turned cold.

And she said, “I wish that our marriage doesn’t happen.”

Breaking the engagement.

That was the reason Flora Lawrence had visited the Dmitry estate.

Visit and read more novel to help us update chapter quickly. Thank you so much!

Hans, a servant of Baron Dmitry’s family, could not hide his difficulties with the young master’s abnormal behavior.

“So, you’re saying that I am the eldest son of the Dmitry family?”

“And this is the kingdom of Cairo on the Salamander Continent. The world of Murim doesn’t even exist.”

It was strange.

The young master wasn’t someone who was usually called smart, but he wasn’t normally this stupid.

Hans wondered if he was high on drugs.

Recently, the deviance of the children of noble families has become a social issue, but it was a problem since it would be suspicious if it happened to Young Master Roman Dmitry.

Dmitry’s Fool.

While the younger brothers had already moved to the capital and grew up steadily, he could see the reality of Roman Dmitry just by watching him rot in the outskirts by the time he reached the age of 25.

Hans said calmly, “Young master, today is the day the esteemed daughter of the Lawrence family, who is promised to marry you, visits the estate of Dmitry. As you may have heard, the daughter of the Lawrence family is a person who values dignity and courtesy as a nobleman. So, it is better to prepare ahead of time. It’s the first time you will see each other, so it would be great to make a good impression—”

“There is something more important than that.”

Roman cut him off while he was talking.

No matter how he looked at it, the young master, who seemed to not be in his right mind, spoke in a voice that had a different weight to it than usual.

“Take me to the eldest man here. It is more important for me to meet him and get to know the world in which I will be living in the future, than to meet this esteemed daughter, whom I do not know.”

It was bizarre.

The young master, who has lived in Dmitry’s estate for 25 years, said it’s important to know about the world for the future.

But what can I even do?

“I understand, young master.”

It was Hans’ role to fulfill his duty as a servant.

The place Hans guided Dmitry to was a village outside the Dmitry Castle.

After the war, many of their permanent residents lost their homes; however, the castle could not accommodate all of them, so they formed a village outside of it.

At first, the village was made up of houses with quite plausible shapes, but the proportion of shacks gradually increased as they moved inside.

Splash.

Hans frowned as he stepped on the muddy water.

At the stench creeping up from all directions, he glanced at Roman’s eyes.

“Do you really want to meet the oldest man in Dmitry’s estate? If it’s related to the history of the territory you’re talking about, it’s better to use Dmitry’s sage or the library. We can still head back.”

“It’s fine.”

Roman didn’t care about what was in his surroundings.

Like Hans, he stepped into the muddy water without hesitation, and the hem of his pants got wet in the splashing water.

‘Oh, his pants got wet.’

Hans was perplexed.

Of course, he expected Roman with wet pants to make a fuss, but Roman did not show any particular reaction.

It was a situation that Hans could not understand at all.

The Dmitry family was not very prestigious. Still, Roman was a person who was usually quite boasting about the fact that he was the son of a noble family.

The residents often gathered to gossip about the fact that Roman was a nobleman who threw fits wherever he went and had absolutely no talent.

But to see something like this.

He questioned whether he was the same person who said that he did not want to leave the castle even if he died despite the lord’s orders.

’…Did he get a head injury?’

As he walked frantically, he arrived at his destination.

He stopped in front of the shack that was slowly being demolished, and Hans looked at Roman cautiously.

“It’s here. He is an old man who followed the lord even before he was granted the Dmitry estate and worked as a blacksmith. He’s already ninety years old, so it won’t be surprising if he dies anytime soon. The problem is… he’s a bit immobile, so you will have to go inside to talk to him.”

Slowly, he looked around.

The stench was so extreme that his nose was clogged, and the spider webs formed throughout the shack made the people, who were looking, frown.

This was no place for the children of noble families to enter.

So, Hans kept requesting him to head back on the way, but Roman kept moving on despite his words.

“Wait outside.”

“Gasp.”

There was no hesitation to be found.

Reaching out his hand and clearing the web, Roman went inside and checked his surroundings.

“Are you the owner of this house?”

“Young master, you came to such a shabby place like this?”

The old man lying inside was startled.

He hurriedly got over the bulky blanket and tried to get up, but he couldn’t get up entirely because of an injury.

“Sit down and listen.”

Roman sat down in front of him.

The old man didn’t know what to do as he sat down on the dirty ground, so he only looked at Roman’s eyes.

“I want to know everything about Dmitry’s estate. What kind of land is this place and what kind of history does it have? It’s probably going to be a long story, so why don’t we talk slowly while enjoying the alcohol I brought?”

Swish.

Roman showed a bottle of wine hanging from his waist.

Seeing the stunned old man with wide-open eyes, Roman made a smile that melted away his vigilance.

“Quickly.”

At the rock bottom of life.

Roman chose to adapt to this world in his own way.

At first, the old man could not speak properly.

However, as he was getting tipsy and Roman showed a serious listening attitude, his vigilance was gone.

“Lord Dmitry was originally a famous blacksmith. He was running a profit-making business by selling iron pieces he made himself; however, he suddenly got the opportunity to supply weapons to the kingdom of Cairo. There was a war going on for a while, so it was a great opportunity to transcend the limits of one’s status. After the war, the lord who received the rank of baron at the award ceremony…”

The talk was extremely long.

Most of what he said was what the eldest son of the Dmitry family should know, but the unbridled old man narrated all the stories he knew at length.

Roman’s judgment was correct.

He asked Hans what the old man liked, and he replied that he couldn’t keep a secret while he was drunk, so he purposely prepared a drink to suit his taste.

Thanks to him, he was able to get all the information he wanted.

He, who was not yet accustomed to the person named Roman, gradually built up new information in his head.

‘Roman huh.’

Roman Dmitry.

No, his real name was Baek Joong-hyuk.

Baek Joong-hyuk had lived most of his life as the head of the Heavenly Demon Cult, which unified Murim.

He was someone who had lived a fierce life as a martial artist.

Having accomplished everything he wanted to, he calmly accepted his death.

It was a great blessing to conquer all the heavenly beasts¹ and die, but when I opened my eyes, I was in Roman Dmitry’s body.

It was absurd.

In fact, at the moment of his death, Baek Joong-hyuk had entered the realm of ascension².

Although divine energy enveloped his soul, Baek Joong-hyuk did not want a life where he could not live as a human being.

So, he refused to climb.

Most warriors ultimately want to achieve ascension, but Baek Joong-hyuk wanted to die as a human.

And now, at the crossroads of new choices, Baek Joong-hyuk quickly accepted the reality he faced.

‘Is this a gift from heaven, or is it God’s punishment for refusing ascension?’

It didn’t matter.

A new life.

A new environment.

For Baek Joong-hyuk, that was important.

His last years as the Heavenly Demon were boring, but the scenery around him gave meaning to his life.

‘People must live with a purpose. Having accomplished everything I wanted to, I could not live like a human being even though I could do everything. Rather, it’s a good thing. Roman Dmitry, the kingdom of Cairo; this world full of unknowns will be a new challenge for me.’

His heart raced.

Baek Joong-hyuk lived a life that will remain in the history of Murim. However, looking back at it now, his life before that, when his life was at risk and fierce every day, made him live as a person rather than in his last peaceful years.

He is someone who cannot live normally.

That’s the kind of person Baek Joong-hyuk was.

“…This is all I know.”

The talk was now over.

Maybe because it had been a long time, the old man he had seen for the first time felt familiar now.

“Thank you, it was a big help to me. We will compensate for this separately later.”

“No, young master. Just having a conversation with someone as precious as the young master was a great blessing for me.”

Baek Joong-hyuk, no, Roman laughed.

It was now time to go back.

But, at that moment.

Bang!

Thump!

“You bastard!”

Loud noises were coming from outside.

It seemed like something was going on near him.

It was just as he expected.

When he went out, he saw a group of men beating a boy who was not an adult yet.

Bam!

Bam! Bam!

“You damn bastard.”

“Just die!”

The boy did not make a single sound despite the intense beating.

Perhaps that fueled the men’s anger even more, and the men indiscriminately beat the boy intending to kill him.

The boy’s body shook with each punch.

The skin exposed outside his clothes was already stained red with bruises, his face was also messed up, and his nose was dripping blood.

However, when they saw the fang tattoos on the men’s bodies, they looked away in fear.

“What’s going on?”

“Young master!”

Roman stood next to Hans.

Hans was watching the scene, and he said in a cautious voice when Roman appeared.

“They seem to be a part of the Blood Fang gang. It is a usury group that is active not only in the Dmitry estate but also in the neighboring estates and seeing them do that, it seems that the boy owes a great debt to Blood Fang. You should just pretend you don’t know. There is nothing good about being tangled up with them.”

Roman’s gaze looked at the Blood Fang crew.

Usury.

Because of the high-interest rates, people can’t pay it back, leading to violence.

‘The problem is that the punishment is not to be carried out by the citizens of this land.’

This was the land of Dmitry.

As explained by the old man, they were obliged to judge and solve any problem by taking it to the lord.

Roman Dmitry.

I still haven’t quite figured out how to act as Roman.

What is certain is that Roman is dead.

When he woke up, the first things he found were a suicide note, believed to have been written by Roman, and drugs scattered on the floor.

The contents of the will showed him how weak Roman was.

The kingdom of Cairo is a kingdom that is always under the threat of war, so there is a law that requires each family to select a certain number of troops and one person to represent the family and forcibly perform their national defense duties for two years.

Roman was included in it.

Since it was impossible to force the two younger brothers with bright futures to death, Dmitry’s Lord decided to send Roman to the battlefield.

So, Roman chose his death.

Trembling at all the vicious rumors about the battlefield, he chose to end his life on the day he got severely drunk.

‘From now on, I am Roman Dmitry.’

The previous life was omitted.

No matter what kind of life Roman has led, he will believe and follow the ‘values of Baek Joong-hyuk’ from now on.

“Stop.”

“Young… young master!”

Hans was startled at Roman’s abrupt move forward and tried to stop Roman.

However, it was already too late.

Roman’s voice was loud, and the Blood Fang gang, who had stopped beating the boy, looked at him with puzzled eyes.

“Roman Dmitry?”

It was a sight to behold.

The problem was that Roman’s reputation had reached them as well.

The man with a vicious face, who seemed to be the gang leader, spoke out with a smirk.

“Don’t mind this, Young Master Dmitry. We will take care of this.”

“Tsk, trying to show off because he’s a son of a noble.”

“Stop it, he says. Kekeke, retarded bastard.”

The gang whispered from behind and laughed.

Hans said in a quiet voice as the others might hear as well.

“Young Master Roman, we have to return. The Blood Fang gang members are violent people. If a problem arises outside the castle, not even the Dmitry family can do anything about it. So, please calm down…”

“Hans.”

Roman looked at Hans.

The robust and low-pitched voice immediately caught the attention of Hans, who was trembling in fear.

“I don’t know the laws of this place very well yet. So, please explain. Who has broken Dmitry’s decrees here? And for breaking the law, what kind of punishment is appropriate?”

Hans was stunned.

He felt like he was being sucked into Roman’s eyes.

Dmitry’s Fool.

The unsightly man who lived in pleasure every day caught him with a powerful force that he could not escape now.

In the current situation, it was suitable to run away.

However, Hans unwittingly told the ‘truth.’

“The boy was guilty of not paying the debt on time. It certainly deserves punishment, but the Blood Fang gang has no right to punish it directly. Above all, they dared to speak insulting words against the eldest son of the Dmitry family in Dmitry’s land. It is a felony that cannot be forgiven even with their lives. According to the law, it is not at all strange that they receive the death penalty.”

Hans bowed his head.

His heart was pounding, and his legs were trembling, but now he felt like he had to reply truthfully to show respect to Roman.

The onlookers held their breath, and a smirk appeared on the faces of the Blood Fang gang.

Let’s go with that.

“You have violated Dmitry’s law…”

Roman stepped forward.

While everyone was watching, he picked up a branch from the ground and pointed it like a sword at the Blood Fang gang.

“From now on, as the eldest son of the Dmitry family, I will execute the sentence for you all who have broken the law.”
