Count's Youngest Son is a Warlock-Chapter 89: Organization, the Beginning of Ale (2)

However, even with Kran’s plea, not all the members’ eyes changed.

It felt like he was seeing his past, so it made Kran feel even more resentful.

“Are you still anxious? Still, is Hamel that terrible?”

Why couldn’t they look at Hamel’s efforts?

Although he wasn’t the real leader of the organization, he had no choice but to look at it from that perspective as long as he stood there.

Except for Hamel’s personal acquaintance, it was so clear who was helpful to the organization.

“I don’t need anyone who can’t tell who his colleagues are or who’s causing trouble. Get lost, but you’ll have to throw every supports given to you so far.”

Kran didn’t want to let Hamel’s money fall into those guys’ stomachs.

What can a warlock do to make money?

Isn’t it money mixed with blood and sweat?

“It’s nice to be certain.”

Miella spoke out.

“Of course, you have to give it up. Don’t tell me, you’re not going to be a hypocrite by saying that Hamel is dirty because he’s a warlock, and still wants his money, right?”

Miella mocked the members.

She was the only noble among the members of the organization, so even if she joined late, her opinion was strong.

“Don’t tell me. Who has such a nerve?”

Stra snorted.

She wasn’t very pleased with Hamel, but she acknowledged what Hamel had done

“Get a grip! Right now, Kran is…”

Slash.

Helon slashed the guy’s head, running out of patience.

He should’ve killed him earlier.

If they spared this guy, he would only cause trouble again.

“Listen, this is not coercion. Everyone has already agreed and entered, and Kran-nim is just fulfilling the written contract.”

Helon glared at the members and then bowed to Kraun.

“I’m sorry for stepping out on my own.”

“No, I was going to cut him anyway.”

Kran shook his head.

Now there were only the traitors who tried to betray the organization.

One of them had already passed out, and the other was begging with his eyes, saying, ‘Please spare me’.

Kran sent Helon to follow him.

The place they were going was none other than the temple.

Kran glanced at Lucion for a moment before slashing them down.

He didn’t know what kind of expression he had under the mask, but it was probably not anxiety.

“All right. Let’s continue.”

Lucion said.

At the calm voice, Kran’s face twisted and he pierced the traitors’ chests with a sharp sword.

Slash!

Kran shouted, putting down the sword covered with blood on the ground.

“Have you made your choice?”

Whether they were afraid of being punished or hated returning the money, the members of the organization had to make a choice now.

Will they leave. free(w)ebnovel(.)com

Or stay.

“I’ve decided. I will stay with the organization.”

One by one, the members’ answers came out.

“I’ll stay with the organization.”

“Thank you, Hamel-nim! I’ll stay in the organization, too!”

Some smiled, some bit their lips and made their own choices.

[Finally, their hesitation has disappeared.]

Russell exhaled a long breath.

As long as they chose to stay away from this bloody atmosphere, it was the same as accepting Lucion.

‘It’s a good choice.’

Lucion thought as he looked at the well-established members of the organization.

In particular, he was very satisfied that those five deaths worked properly.

“I won’t forgive betrayal no matter what’s the reason. If you don’t like the organization, you can leave, but considering the uniqueness of the organization, disclosure is prohibited even after leaving the organization..”

Kran made eye contact with the members and mentioned the precautions again.

“The name of our organization is ‘Ale’ and we will grow into an independent force that does not belong anywhere and will fight for peace and freedom!”

A blood clot stood out on Kran’s neck.

‘Peace and freedom.’

Lucion almost burst into laughter for a moment.

Organization Ale was created for him and was an organization to protect him.

However, outside of it, having a purpose was necessary, so Lucion instructed Kran to set the goal himself.

Out of numerous other goals, Kran set the most obvious one.

‘…No. A goal like that is very rare in this world.’

Lucion soon denied his idea.

Peace and freedom

It was obvious, but it was also a difficult goal.

“If there is anyone who will help the organization in the future, even if that person is a warlock, I will accept them and swear to protect them as members of the organization!”

It wasn’t a story to be said in a garden full of corpses and blood, but strangely, Kran’s hand gesture and voice caught his attention.

‘The skill to capture the other person’s heart so quickly is just like magic.’

Lucion thought it was amazing.

Even though he knew it meant nothing, it strangely created trust and expectations.

“Do you also swear to protect your fellow members?”

Kran looked at the members and asked.

“I swear!”

They answered without question.

Kran gave them a chance to leave the organization, and whether they were scared or intimidated, the opportunity had already passed.

Kran looked at Lucion as the members shouted.

He said many things, but in the end, he succeeded in slipping in the goal Lucion wanted.

Lucion nodded, saying he’d done a great job.

‘The organization has finally taken a step forward.’

* * *

―Lucion.

“Yes.”

Lucion sat near the Chefran mansion’s garden and petted Ratta, who stared at him.

He was resting to recover from the light while waiting for ghosts to appear from the dead bodies.

He wasn’t kidding, he felt like blood was going to come up from his throat again if someone touched him.

―Ratta was very happy just now? Ratta didn’t like the bad guy saying things to Lucion, but Ratta is glad that the hostility towards Lucion is gone!

“I was happy, too. Young Master, no. Hamel-nim has an ‘ally’, right?”

Hume smiled along with Ratta.

Kran had sounded so desperate that Hume’s palm was sweating before he knew it.

―Is Lucion’s heart pounding from happiness just like Ratta’s?

“Let’s see.”

Lucion answered Ratta’s question vaguely.

What he remembered was a strange feeling.

“People’s minds don’t work as I want. I’m satisfied with the fact that my plan had worked and I got this mansion.”

[I think you can be relieved and happy now.]

Bethel said with a smile.

Anyone who heard it would know that Kran was sincere and that his will to protect Lucion was strong.

[I also think Lucion can be relieved. At any rate, the organization has taken its first step.]

Russell said proudly, messing up Lucion’s hair.

“Teacher, this mansion will be filled with the members soon, right?”

[I guess so.]

“It’s hard to control when there are a lot of people. It will probably be difficult to solve it as I had done now.”

Lucion exhaled a long breath.

“I don’t know. I’m going to watch a little bit more.”

He had learned that it was comfortable not to expect anything.

Lucion didn’t want to judge anything hastily because the organization was not his own family.

He just quietly calmed himself down and felt the wind blow.

* * *

Bang!

“…Nonsense!”

Miella shouted at Kran.

“What doesn’t make sense?”

Stra said in amazement.

“Anyone can tell that Hamel-nim is the leader of this organization!”

“What? The head of this organization is Kran-nim!”

At Miella’s words, Stra’s voice rose.

Miella abruptly held out her fingers, folding them each time she spoke.

“Money, hideout, power, intelligence, do I have to keep going?”

Miella spoke to Lucion, who just entered the room.

“You come at the right time. Tell me, Hamel-nim.”

“What are you talking about?”

Lucion was on his way back after sending off not only Chefran’s family but also Chefran’s knights, including the five ghosts who just died.

“The leader is actually Hamel-nim, but you can’t appear in public, so Kran takes over, right?”

Miella asked.

It was a smart question.

[Miella is quick-witted.]

Bethel implied, and Russell agreed.

[That’s right. Because of that, Lucion deliberately acted as if he obeyed Kran.]

“Regardless of the reason, I can’t be the leader. So why don’t you stop bothering Kran?”

Lucion said calmly.

“…It’s unfair. It looks as though they have taken everything away from Hamel-nim.”

If it gets taken away, you take it back.

Hamel, who had taught her that, didn’t actually have anything.

“Ah…! Are you alright being here?”

Miella immediately remembered an important fact.

There was quite a bit of light in here.

Especially in the head’s room.

“Even if I wasn’t, Rental broke it for me.”

Lucion pointed to Hume.

At Hume’s nod, Miela looked apologetic.

“I’m sorry. I think I was too excited to kill her. I should have warned you in advance.”

“…There were light objects?”

Kraun reacted with surprise.

Immediately, he got up from his seat and approached Lucion.

“Are you okay? I am…”

“No, I am fine.”

Lucion shook his head and stopped Kran.

Now was not the time for Kran to bow to him.

“More than that, shouldn’t we decide on how to deploy the members in the future? And how to treat Chefran’s knights and the servants.”

Lucion brought up an issue that needed to be discussed immediately.

For now, the fire was quenched for a while by the appearance of Organization Ale and the Chefran’s family head handing over her title Miella, but it was just the beginning.

Because Chefrán’s family head had changed, external forces might smell it and come looking.

The internal issues would be a concern, but for now, Miella had to settle down in the Chefran family.

“I’ll cover it up with this for now. I want to finish this job.”

Miella took out her bag.

Lucion noticed that it was the money bag he had given to her.

“It would be best to embrace them as Miss Miella suggests. But they will never become members of the organization.”

Lucion agreed with Miella, but also pointed out something that definitely needed to be addressed.

“I know. I’ll coordinate that. I have become a member of the organization, and I want to handle everything related to the name Chefran. Would that be okay?”

Miella looked at Lucion and then at Kran.

“I’ll leave it to you.”

Lucion replied.

There was nothing better than having Miella handle the problem on her own.

“Then, I agree.”

Kran also nodded.

At Kran’s agreement, Stra looked dissatisfied, and Helon smiled and agreed.

“Mr. Hamel.”

Kran called Lucion.

“Say it.”

“When are the Rats coming?”

“Maybe they’ll be here soon.”

Besides the long distance, the number of the Rats was higher than the current members.

They had split up so that others wouldn’t notice, so it was bound to take time.

“First of all, I’ll put the members near Miss Miella. After that, when the Rats arrive, let’s disguise them as soldiers and increase the numbers.”

The combined number of knights and soldiers owned by Chefran was about 150.

However, Ale only had about 30 members.

If Chefran’s knights and soldiers pushed with force, there was a high possibility that Ale would be pushed back.

Lucion noticed what Kran was worried about.

‘Kran has lost his touch. That won’t happen.’

The nobles were proud of their special status as nobles.

They were also the strange type that wouldn’t forgive if a non-noble person touched the family, even if that family was an enemy.

Therefore, Chefran’s knights and soldiers, who knew about the nobility more than anyone else, wouldn’t do anything to Miella.

‘If we exclude the other nobles who have eyes on Chefran, the biggest problem right now is probably the lack of people in the organization, right?’

Even if they tried to replace the Chefran knights and soldiers, the organization didn’t have replacements.

It was good to have strong people in the organization, but it wasn’t worth it if there was no one who could control and suppress them.

‘…And the assassins.’

If the ghosts were to replace his eyes, now he needed someone to be his hands and feet.

The kind of person who could deal with those who were harming the organization that not even the mouses and the birds noticed. freew(e)bnovel.com

‘Who would be good?’
