I didn't believe it at first.
Romance.
Did he deal with Blood Fang himself?
Baron Romero would have thought someone else insulted him if it wasn't for the Knight Commander, Jonathan.
“...I don't know how to explain this situation, but one thing is certain, Young Master Roman seems to have changed. He executed Ben Miles, the leader of Blood Fang, in front of everyone. And even when he met Viscount Lawrence, he showed a proud attitude explaining what he had done and why he had done it. It wasn't Young Roman Master I knew before.”
Jonathan is not a liar.
Baron Romero, who had heard of the situation, gained hope for his eldest son, whom he had left behind.
'Did Roman really change?'
Three sons of Romero.
Among them, Roman was a sore thumb.
Roman goes through a time when he is a commoner like himself, so he is a crooked kid trying to take care of himself.
My heart aches to see it.
Once upon a time, Baron Romero worked hard to secure an iron mine tunnel by deploying a lot of his manpower.
It was such an important task that it cost Baron Romero his entire lifespan to complete, but at one point, he worked so hard that he stayed in the iron mines all day.
Roman was only three years old at the time.
Roman, unable to walk, crawled towards his father and gave him a small cake.
I remember how funny it was.
Baron Romero, whose face was blackened due to tunnel work, embraced Roman with a wide smile.
Maybe that's why he wants Roman to live happily.
Unlike the other two sons, he didn't know how to do things right, so he gave him a lot of pocket money, hoping he wasn't looked down upon anywhere.
He had no idea that it would be the start of trouble.
Roman settled the grievances that piled up in his heart with luxury, and then Dmitry's Fool was born.
Baron Romero was an inexperienced father.
Although her son was not the best, the marriage to Flora Lawrence was a boon to Roman.
But now it has changed.
He had no choice but to be happy.
The process doesn't matter.
Even if Roman had hired people to take down Blood Fang with his own money, it was important to Baron Romero that Roman took the lead in doing something.
Baron Romero is ready to dedicate himself to his son at any time if his son shows the slightest change in kindness.
"I welcome you, father."
Romance.
He showed his face.
It was hard to believe that a terrible incident had just happened because his expression was so calm.
He knows instinctively.
Roman has changed.
Her work, her attitude, and her expression; those things alone made her realize that her son had changed.
No, he might have anticipated the current situation ever since he raised his voice proudly towards himself.
“So, you yourself handled Blood Fang?”
He said those words.
Even though he knew it instinctively.
Baron Romero hopes to ascertain the truth from Roman himself.
The answer to that question is simple.
Yes or no.
Telling the truth is good enough.
He did not need to think about it, and if he were to tell the truth about what he was going through, this case would be resolved naturally.
Father's trust.
Roman can benefit a lot from this.
Yet.
'Exceeding expectations will hit me again like a boomerang.'
Baron Romero's hopes for Roman were absolutely zero.
However, if someone who was amazed even by seeing one good result saw ten good results at the same time, it would be an incredible event for them.
It will have a big impact on his future as well.
What am I supposed to do?
Should I reveal myself or should I hide my abilities?
At Murim, showing off your talent is dangerous.
If he were to show such outstanding talent, he would definitely end up with his head crushed by a hammer.
Only one in ten thousand.
Those who survive the attention of those around them are called masters in Murim.
'I don't fully understand this world. The man named Roman Dmitry has insignificant strength like an ant compared to when I was Baek Joong-hyuk, and exposing myself too much would not be good for my safety. All I need now is time to realize this reality and be mature enough. Dmitry's reputation as a fool is very appropriate to buy time.'
Pffts.
Laughter out.
A rational assessment.
He knew what was right, but from the first confrontation with Blood Fang, such a premise was meaningless.
I will reveal myself.
Roman doesn't know how to hide it.
"Yes I do."
Heavenly Demon, Baek Joong-hyuk, is a person who cannot live a normal life.
Everyone has a time when their parents protect them.
But Roman—No! Baek Joong-hyuk is different.
When Baek Joong-hyuk gains the power to move his body, he is left on the cold cave floor.
As he was in the dark cave, Baek Joong-hyuk's father said, “You are the son of the Heavenly Demon. If you are truly worthy as my successor, prove yourself from a cold and safe base. Listen carefully, I have 12 sons. If one of you dies, nothing will change, and even if all my twelve sons die, I will only create one more son. So, remember this. Domination is the only way to prove your worth to me.”
Son 12th.
The life of Baek Joong-hyuk, the youngest of 12 brothers, begins like that.
The children living together in the cave did not look after each other because they were the sons of the Heavenly Devil, and they lived a cruel life, competing with stealing things from each other.
Back then, Baek Joong-hyuk was very weak.
His dwarf physique makes it difficult to win in competition with others, but Baek Joong-hyuk instinctively knows what to do.
To reveal his presence.
He knew that even though his strength was weak, he could rule if he inflated his body and showed malice to others.
And just like that, Baek Joong-hyuk smashed the head of the strongest kid with a stone.
Blood dripped from the rock as it was hit several times, and the surrounding children looked at Baek Joong-hyuk in surprise.
King of 12 sons.
At that time, Baek Joong-hyuk's position was decided.
Baek Joong-hyuk always reveals himself and survives to the end despite many threats.
Heavenly Demon was born through hardship.
If he doesn't cross a difficult path, Baek Joong-hyuk knows he won't ascend the Heavenly Demon throne.
'There is no such thing as perfect preparation in the world. In reality I know, it's important to prove myself to the best of my ability.'
In Baek Joong-hyuk's new life, his interests are familiar and far from ordinary.
But does he want his new life to be normal?
Thats cute.
The life he lived before has made Baek Joong-hyuk what he is today, and now he has become a person who cannot live an ordinary life.
Romance.
With her new name, she had no intention of hiding herself at all.
For this to happen, little explanation is needed.
Based on the information he heard from Hans, Roman gave an answer that people with common sense could understand.
“Actually, I did sword science training separately.”
“Why are you hiding that? If you tell me, as your father, I'll definitely give you full support.
"I knew. However, there were times when I was distracted and wandering aimlessly, so I could not confidently ask for anything from my father. People call me Dmitry's Fool. For my own greed, I want to show you that I can do certain things on my own, and even though I am self-taught, I will be able to reach a certain level.”
That's an ambiguous answer.
Are you saying you learn swordsmanship yourself?
Given that Roman had the power to deal with Blood Fang with his swordsmanship, the question was not immediately resolved.
"How did you handle Blood Fang?"
“According to my research, I found that Blood Fang is not a group whose members have strong trust in each other. Intimidation and conciliation begin with the bonds of forming a small organization, and a small number of leaders take full control of the organization. It was like a sand castle, and most of its members were bastards. I thought decapitating him would destroy him all at once, so I lured them in with a bait and attacked Ben Miles directly.”
“Ben Miles? You mean, you lured him in?”
"Yes. Blood Fang had shown a clear pattern of behavior in the past. The powerful noble families kept their fame quiet when they touched the gang members, and by always avenging disputes with the noble nobles. It's a little embarrassing to say it, but I'm called Dmitry's Fool. I'm sure they'll come after me. So I used myself as bait, and when the troops disbanded, I attacked Ben Miles and decapitated the group.”
“It was a very risky plan. If they decide to take revenge, they'll give up on Ben Miles and keep trying to kill you.”
Heart's sinking.
plan Roman.
That's very dangerous.
Baron Romero's eyebrows quivered because his son had made and executed him.
Roman said, “As father said, it was a risky plan. So, if you can understand my actions, I think the Dmitry Knights will move. And such information must have been passed directly to the Blood Fang leader. Now, I ask you, father. If you were a member of Blood Fang who did not know when the Dmitry Knight would arrive, would you risk your life to save his leader, Ben Miles? The premise of my plan was that it was a sand castle. There is no reason for them to risk their lives when they become gang members through intimidation and pressure if they can regain their freedom just by ignoring the death of their leader
The explanation is similar to reality.
Roman had attacked Blood Fang.
There was no persuasion, and after slaughtering all the enemies that filled the space, he secured Ben Miles who was about to escape.
Furthermore, the Blood Fang members left Ben Miles.
As Roman explained, in a situation where the gang members did not know when the Dmitry Knights would arrive, they could not delay any longer.
Some of the explanations are true, but most are lies.
Roman solved the situation with common sense.
The fact that Dmitry's Fool killed Blood Fang with pure power did not end up revealing himself but could raise suspicions about his whereabouts.
So he gave a realistic answer.
It seems plausible that he apprehended his own leader, and he does not deny the fact that he did it himself.
The explanation is done.
Baron Romero, who questioned him repeatedly, as if in disbelief, was unable to speak for a while.
"Son."
He's very happy.
Romance.
Thumb is sick.
The boy whom he thought could do nothing had executed such a plan perfectly.
Baron Romero never gave up on his son.
The feelings in his heart and his actions even hitting his son on his face revealed the true feelings of Baron Romeo.
“You did a really great job. My son has done what no one else in the country can do.”
Is it because of the noise?
He wanted to see for himself the transformation of his son.
“Can I ask something?”
"Yes." Yeah."
“I want to check out your swordsmanship skills. How did my son change, what kind of sword did he use to deal with Blood Fang. Knight Commander, Jonathan, can you prepare for a duel now?”
"That's possible."
The gaze turned to Roman again.
A father's heart.
Roman understands.
A boy called a fool had accomplished something, and he definitely wanted to see it for himself.
Roman nodded.
"I understand."
A new life.
Roman is loyal to his new reality.
