The Reincarnated Assassin is a Genius Swordsman - Chapter 353
Chapter 353
Raon straightened his back. I met eyes with Addis Sepia, the owner of Sepia Firm, who was wearing a serious spirit.
“May I ask how you knew?”
Since coming to Sepia Company, he has never shown any behavior that would reveal his identity.
He hid the biggest characteristics of Raon Sieghart, golden hair, red eyes, and two swords, but it was shocking that it was discovered after only 5 hours.
“Do you know what increases the more you do business?”
Addis Sepia tapped the desk with her well-manicured fingers.
“The eyes that see people. And as you get older, the thing that gets bigger is the way you look at people.”
His gaze fell silently.
“I’ve lived as a merchant until I’m old, so I’m pretty confident in my eyes when looking at people.”
“Since you are my colleague’s father, you can speak comfortably. And…”
Raon looked at Addis and narrowed his eyes.
“That is no answer.”
Addis’ words sounded vague, but they weren’t the right answer.
It doesn’t make sense to figure out your identity at once, no matter how good your eyes are at seeing people.
“Baekgeomryong, the sub-owner of Gwangpungdan, should know better than anyone else. That the most rumored armed group on the continent is the Gwangpungdan.”
Addis didn’t stop talking, perhaps because she had a strict personality as she seemed on the outside.
“It’s only natural that the two winners of the Dalian duel held in the kingdom of Owen belonged to the Gwangpungdan. As a merchant, it is essential to grasp the information of such divinities.”
He continued to speak in a calm voice that hadn’t changed a bit from the beginning.
“As I investigated all the swordsmen of the Gwangpungdan, including the sub-master, Baekgeomryong 1st team leader Rakhalgeom 2nd team Cheongwolgum team leader Seonpoonggeom, I found out that he was also involved.”
“Are you saying that you investigated all the members, not just the leader?”
“exactly. I have gathered all the information of the swordsmen belonging to the Gwangpungdan. Appearance, personality, preferences, and even human relationships.”
“Um…”
Raon gulped as he watched Addis speak calmly.
‘That’s great. Is that why you are the owner of the 5th Chamber? No, that’s why he became the owner of the 5 Great Firms.’
It is true that Gwangpungdan has become famous, but Sepia Sanghoe is not so noteworthy. Literally, I just won the prospect battle.
It was amazing that I researched everything in order to increase even a little bit the possibility of a deal that could come one day.
“I don’t know what Dorian did, but I’ve heard that he goes out with Budanju the most and is close. So I thought that if that child came here, he would come with you because of your personality. I changed my hair color and eye color, but I didn’t lie about my height and features. So I could find out.”
“…You’re amazing.”
Pure admiration flowed.
‘It’s similar.’
There was a similarity between an assassin who investigated everything about a target in order to assassinate it and a merchant who investigated everything about a target to make a deal.
-That old man seems to have a stalker temperament too.
Ras looked at Addis and stuck out his tongue.
-I don’t know why there are so many strange things on this continent!
‘that’s right. It feels like a stalker.’
so it’s weird
There was a big difference between Addis’ now emotionless eyes and the trembling she showed when she first saw Dorian.
‘Should I float a little?’
Raon turned his gaze to Dorian, who was at a loss.
“The reason I came all the way here after traveling with Dorian is not a big deal. Because you are a reliable colleague. It is known to the world that I have solved many missions by myself, but this guy has helped me more than once or twice.”
At those words, Dorian’s shoulders went up slightly.
“The reason I was able to be rescued from Eden was because of Dorian’s courage. But because of that, Dorian was also kidnapped. I am sorry for putting your son in danger.”
Raon bowed politely to Addis.
“There is no reason for me to be greeted because it is my choice. wake up.”
Addis beckoned to get up. Judging by the calm voice, it seems that he knew that Dorian had been kidnapped.
“You knew.”
“….”
“Of course, he must be very interested in his son.”
Indirect words don’t work for such a seasoned opponent. I grabbed a knife and stabbed myself.
“hmm.”
Addis drank water from the cup without looking at Dorian.
‘Are you organizing your thoughts?’
So far, he has answered any questions right away without any hesitation. Seeing him turn off the time for the first time made it clear that something was there.
“Since you took valuables, you shouldn’t know where he died.”
Addis looked at Dorian’s stomach pouch. It was a cynical answer beyond comprehension.
“Ugh…”
Dorian groaned nervously, stroking his stomach pouch.
“I’ve heard a lot of rumors about Gwangpungdan, but I’ve never heard of Dorian’s story coming out of them. You must have done a lot of research to gather small and trivial information to understand the situation.”
“Think whatever you want.”
Addis shook her head with emotionless eyes.
‘It’s ambiguous.’
A snail is the same person. It seemed that a little more information and time would be needed to find out what was inside him.
Raon took a step back so Dorian and Addis could talk.
Addis understood the meaning and met Dorian’s eyes.
“I said that the heir of the company will be given to the person who brings the greatest treasure than anyone else. What have you been doing?”
“Um…”
Dorian’s hand went to his stomach pocket and stopped. He grabbed the swordsman strapped to his waist, not his stomach pocket.
“I trained my sword.”
“Did you train your sword to get some treasure?”
Addis’ pupils showed a cool spirit. It was not an Auror, but an atmosphere that the person himself had.
“It was the path I chose because I wanted to live regardless of the ideological society.”
Dorian spoke frankly about his thoughts as a child. Of course, his voice trembled.
“It’s a life that has nothing to do with the company…”
Addis nodded her head again, not surprised.
“Is that idea still valid?”
“Whoa…”
Dorian didn’t answer right away, exhaling slowly.
“Oh no. It’s a little bit, but I have a desire to do business.”
He conveyed his current thoughts in a trembling voice.
“A guy who has only wielded a sword so far wants to work for a merchant? A little bit of that too? Do you think business is ridiculous!”
Addis slammed the desk and released a ferocious look.
“Even at this moment, there are countless people risking their lives in the trade. Ignoring them all!”
“Now, I’m not ignoring the business, I just thought I could do it because there were people who believed in me!”
Dorian shook his hand urgently.
“Even when I became a Sieghart trainee, I thought I wouldn’t be able to become a formal prosecutor. But thanks to the people around me who encouraged me and helped me, I was able to stand where I am today.”
His gaze turned to Raon.
“Now, business is obviously going to be very difficult, but I just thought I could do it if I was determined and got help from people around me.”
Dorian finished with a voice that trembled like a bounced rubber band.
“Still, you have learned one thing. That there is no shame in asking for help.”
The coldness in Addis’ eyes seemed to have faded a little. He lowered his eyes and tapped the desk lightly again.
“Since all your brothers are back, there will be a test soon. Join us then.”
He shook his hand as if he had nothing more to say.
“Go.”
“I see!”
Dorian nodded.
Raon saw the eyes of Addis and Dorian in turn and licked his lips.
‘I didn’t let go at all.’
It was clear that Addis thought of Dorian as a candidate for succession, given the fact that he gave Dorian a chance, who did nothing but wield a sword, and the way he scolded him for his mistakes.
‘If I take the test, I’ll find out.’
Seeing a changed Dorian might elicit a real reaction from him.
“See you later.”
As Raon lowered his head and tried to leave, Addis raised his hand.
“The gale of incessant drinking.”
“yes.”
“I want you to stop wearing disguises. I am worried that the younger ones of the upper house will disrespect you.”
“Um…”
He came in this form to commit that rudeness, but it seemed like he was trying to block it in advance. After all, the owner of the 5th Chamber. I was not a normal person.
“All right.”
Raon nodded and followed Dorian out of the office in Addis.
“Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa”
Dorian let out a long sigh as he clung to the handrail built above the stairs.
“I was so nervous I almost died.”
“You did well, but what?”
Raon patted Dorian’s shoulder and laughed.
“You’re good. My heart raced so I couldn’t speak.”
Dorian shook his head as he descended the stairs. As he said, his legs trembled slightly.
“Are you normally that simple?”
“My memory is hazy since I was young, but I feel like I’m a little colder than before. Maybe it’s because it’s been such a long time…”
That also makes sense. I thought that I might be disappointed because my son came to visit me after 9 years.
-This guy feels more shrunken than usual.
Lars frowned at Dorian, who shrugged.
‘I can’t help it. From the time I was born until I left, I was only bullied.’
If you tie a young elephant’s leg with a chain so that it cannot escape, even when it becomes an adult, it will not be able to think of escaping the thin chain.
Even though Dorian’s power and status have grown, the moment he came here, he felt that he had gone back to when he was a child, when he was only beaten up, so he was so intimidated.
‘I’ll have to break it.’
Raon nodded and went down, narrowing his eyes.
‘Aura down here…’
This is the sign of the person who visited before meeting Addis.
‘I didn’t say to take off the disguise right away.’
He laughed and raised his voice.
“As expected, Dorian! I was amazed to see that he boldly said that he would eat Sanghoe in front of Lord Sanghoe!”
Raon shouted loudly toward the bottom of the stairs.
“I have never been like that before. I’m just interested…”
“Dorian!”
When Dorian tilted his head, his third sister, Palen, who had been visiting the waiting room, came up screaming.
“Follow me right away.”
She snapped her fingers and wrinkled her brow.
“I’ll show you that your years didn’t mean anything.”
Seeing that his reaction hadn’t changed, it was clear that he hadn’t been told his true identity yet.
“sister? Suddenly why…”
Dorian’s lips quivered as he clung to the railing.
“Close your mouth and follow me.”
“Ugh…”
Dorian turned to Raon. Tears seemed to fall from his big eyes.
“Why are you doing this…”
“Good. I didn’t mean to leave you alone!”
At those words, the sound of grinding teeth came from Palen’s mouth.
“let’s hurry.”
Raon patted Dorian’s shoulder while muttering to show his strength.
-her!
Lars let out a fuss as if he was dumbfounded.
-You are so real…
* * *
Raon followed Palen to the Sepia Chamber of Commerce. Dorian followed, floundering like a prisoner being led to the scaffold.
“Where are you going…”
“I told you to close your mouth and follow me.”
Palen walked for a long time and entered the gymnasium, which seemed to be a training ground for warriors of the high society.
Even though it was late at night, the lights were on and three unmanned warriors were waiting.
gulp.
Dorian swallowed dry saliva loud enough for the person next to him to hear.
“What is this…”
“I told you. It shows that the time you accumulated is meaningless.”
Palen beckoned, and the youngest-looking swordsman in his twenties stood next to her.
“Can I really touch you? He said he was the son of the upper house owner.”
The young swordsman examined Dorian and tilted his head.
“Let’s stand. A bastard who has no interest in that either.”
Palen snorted and glared at Dorian.
“Sister Farfallen?”
“I prepared because he was confident that he would defeat me.”
Palen pointed at the young swordsman standing next to him.
“Dog sword Toten Mabel. He’s a famous soldier in the Southwest, and he’s about the same age as you. He’s a good opponent.”
Raon licked his lips at the man called Totten Lovell.
‘It’s a dog sword…’
I’ve heard of this.
He was a swordsman who had been told that he was considered to be a promising star of the Six Emperors because he had reached the top level of Expert at a young age at a banquet hall where warriors of the Six Emperors gathered.
“You can’t stand fighting with that person?”
Dorian’s mouth fell open.
“okay. Prove that you will defeat me right here and now.”
Palen thrust his face into Dorian, gnashing his teeth.
“I never said that…”
“Because it starts in 10 minutes. Get ready.”
Palen didn’t listen to Dorian and turned around.
“I heard you belong to the Gwangpungdan, so please take good care of me.”
Totton Lovell waved his hand and fell.
“What level is that person?”
Dorian came over urgently and grabbed his sleeve.
“Expert is the highest level. Definitely great for his age.”
It’s not on the level of Burren or Martha Runan, but for someone in her early to mid-twenties, her skills were outstanding.
“This expert superlative? Aaaaagh!”
Dorian shrieked, clutching his head.
“What are you going to do with this! You said strange things, so you got beaten up for no reason!”
“are you okay. You can win.”
Raon smiled lightly and shook his hand.
“I’m a senior now, how can I beat the superlative!”
“Is it possible.”
“Impossible! Everything is ruined!”
“Kuhm.”
He didn’t answer Dorian’s cries and cleared his throat while looking at Palen and Thorton Lovell.
“What are you going to do again…”
“What? Can you lightly apply that much? The center of Gwangpungdan is, of course, Dorian!”
Raon raised his voice so that everyone in the gym could hear.
“That bastard again…”
“What?”
Palen and Thorton Lovell turn around and stare at me. Not only Palen, but Totten’s gaze, which seemed light, had a terrifying edge like a blade.
“Ahhhh…”
Tears welled up in Dorian’s eyes. Foam began to form around the mouth like a crab.
“Why are you doing this? There must be no reason for this!”
“what? An opponent like that doesn’t even need time to prepare?”
Raon smirked and gently pushed Dorian on the back. Of course, there was an explosive power of over 300 strength inside.
“I never said anything like that… uuuuuuuuuuuuu!”
Dorian couldn’t overcome that ignorant power and screamed as he ran to the center of the gymnasium where he was to compete.
“This is not my will…”
“He said he couldn’t wait to beat me, so he really runs! Dorian, do your best!”
Raon raised his fisted hand toward Dorian.
“Take it lightly and make your sister shut up!”
He smiled as if he knew nothing.
“under!”
Thorton Lovell smiled and approached Dorian.
“No matter how much Sieghart’s fanatics are, their arrogance pierces the sky. It’s been a while since I’ve had such an insult.”
A ghastly spirit that was at the level of life bloomed from his whole body.
“A bastard who doesn’t even know the subject…”
Palen also glared at Dorian as if to kill him.
“Ehehe…”
Dorian grinned at the two of them. The pupils were wide open like the eyes of a rotten fish. It seemed that he had lost his mind halfway.
Raon grinned as he felt the heat heating up the gym.
‘It’s just a good atmosphere.’
A child is supposed to be raised to be strong.
-Ah…
Ras clenched his teeth while looking at Raon. His face was pale as if he was frightened.
-Are you a human kid?
