The Successor of the Underworld is a Cheat Player

The Successor To The Underworld Is A Cheat Player 74

The ones guarding a place like Zone 10 were individuals who hadn’t even received proper education.

Hence, they were unaware.

“How dare you block the path.”

What the halted carriage was.

“Th-that… we need to stop and check first.”

That was the only rule they had learned, and didn’t their seniors say that’s how you might get a single bean in return.

Moreover, with such a luxurious carriage, who knew if the dropped bean was just an ordinary bean.

But at that moment.

Chilling.

A shiver ran down their spines.

When was it?

“These country bumpkins don’t know any better. Let’s not make a fuss and just go.”

“As you wish.”

Thin beads of sweat collected on the guards’ necks.

If the voice had reached them even slightly later.

Thump.

They might have had to lose the most precious thing to them.

The guards hesitated.

Only then did the carriage start moving again.

“Be grateful for the mercy. And remember.”

The seemingly insignificant coachman warned the hesitating guards.

“Only those with the bloodline of Demorus can ride the black carriage.”

A carriage passing through an ordinary-looking gate.

“Huff! Huff!”

Only now did the guards release the breath they had been holding.

Though the recent memories were blurred by shock, one thing was clear.

“D-Demorus!”

Demorus had arrived at this place, Chichiron in Zone 10.

The small village of Chichiron in Zone 10.

The carriage of Demorus arrived in a place where the population did not exceed a thousand.

“….”

A silent street.

But that didn’t mean there were no people.

From Noble mtl dot com

Every Chichiron was lying flat on the ground, holding their breath.

Clatter.

The sound of the carriage wheels approaching.

Gulp.

The citizens felt it like a death sentence hanging over them.

“Why on earth.”

The only question lingering in their minds.

Why did Demorus come here?

Clatter.

What would he do next?

Especially those who hid their appearance and watched the scene had no choice but to hold their breath even more.

This place, at the end of the continent, was like a sanctuary reluctantly sought by fugitives since ancient times.

Clatter.

Finally, the carriage came to a halt.

“Behold the grand procession of Demorus. All must show respect and awe.”

Thud!

At the voice of the coachman, the citizens bowed their heads.

“We meet Demorus.”

Demorus, received as if he were an emperor of the past.

No, not even to that extent in the past.

“This is so dreary.”

The man who revealed himself through the open carriage door said.

“…?”

Someone almost involuntarily raised their head.

“It’s been a while, everyone.”

The voice was so familiar.

“Have you been well?”

The casual tone was so comforting.

“Se…ain?”

Someone quietly raised their head and spoke.

“How dare you!”

The coachman reached out towards him, but Sein was quicker.

Sein stood in front of the woman who had opened her mouth.

“Ma’am, have you been well?”

Karen, the old lady.

The woman who forged a bond by giving her a nearly rotten apple when she was scavenging in the alleyways on the brink of death.

“Really… Sein? No….”

Caelan, with his head raised, didn’t know what to do.

He didn’t know how to face someone so high, or even how to converse.

“Everyone, get up.”

Sein said,

“I’ve returned as the crazy one.”

Only then could everyone truly feel it.

“….!”

Chichiron’s troublemaker.

Chichiron’s crazy one.

A boy of little significance, yet a man who eventually took control of Chichiron’s alleyways, making them his own.

“Hyung…nim!”

The idol of Jibchang Village.

Sein also felt this way for the first time.

“I understand why you want to return to the Golden Hometown.”

Although he didn’t think of Chichiron as his hometown, he seemed to have some affection for it in his own way.

Returning to this place he had decided not to step foot in again, even the foul air here seemed to have its own unique charm.

“….”

A group quietly approaching.

They were the ones who used to serve under Sein’s family name in the past.

“Have you been well, Weiss?”

Number Three of the family.

“Hyungnim…. Are you really our hyungnim?”

“Because I am?”

Thud!

Weiss, dropping to both knees, shouted.

“I’ve been waiting. Hyungnim.”

I knew a day like this would come.

Clap.

Sein clapped his hands to lighten the mood.

“Today, I declare definitively here.”

This was the authority granted to the successor candidate of Demorus.

“From today, Chichiron belongs to me, Sein Demorus. I delegate all matters within Chichiron to Weiss, and any challenge against Weiss and the family will be seen as a challenge against me…”

Snick.

“…and considered a challenge against Demorus.”

Following the proper procedures, Sein continued speaking.

“And we’ll have to settle the score.”

The land where Sein was born and raised.

A place intertwined with countless destinies.

“Let’s resolve that today.”

At Sein’s words, a group turned and began to run away.

Of course.

Whoosh!

In an instant, the guards attached to Sein, or rather Delan’s bodyguards, shattered them to pieces.

No matter how Sein had lived through past lives, surviving as a mere child was a mysterious thing.

If it weren’t for the existence of Delan, the young Sein might have been beaten in an alley or starved to death.

However, it wasn’t only Delan who had helped Sein.

“Take it.”

The gold Sein handed over.

It could buy Chichiron several times over.

“What’s this, sir?”

“Listen, Karin, Jagg….”

Names being listed.

“Do you understand what I’m saying?”

The reason why Weiss could become Number Three of the Sein Family.

Judging by combat power, one couldn’t expect much from someone from Zone 10.

“I’ve been taking care of it anyway. I’ll definitely take care of it.”

The guy’s head spun pretty fast.

“And take this.”

A small jewel was shining in Sein’s hand.

“It’s a processed mana stone.”

“….?”

Although he was smart, he couldn’t figure out what he hadn’t seen or heard of.

“It will allow you to use mana.”

“….!”

Weiss, who understood Sein’s words, finally opened his eyes wide.

“Is that… possible?”

“If you have money, you can buy happiness or anything, eighty percent of it, Weiss.”

Due to being born in the lowest quality Zone 10, the subordinates of the Sein Family, who inherently struggled to handle mana.

The processed mana stone would make their mana denser and purer, enabling them to use mana.

“Sir.”

Weiss, with a serious face, seemed to have made up his mind.

“Please take it.”

“Huh?”

“It’s too much for Chichiron or someone like us. Since you are in a higher position, it would be better if you use it meaningfully.”

This was one of the reasons why Weiss was Number Three.

“Cough, cough.”

The suppressed laughter of Sein.

“Hahaha!”

Finally, it burst out.

“Hey, you idiot.”

“Yes?”

“If you want to take it, take it. Whatever I do…”

“There’s meaning in that.”

Sein’s words were clear.

So shut up and follow.

“Chichiron is my domain. And this is not just about settling past debts.”

If he wasn’t from Zone 10.

So if Sein thought he could explain this without a second thought, it wouldn’t be the case.

But Weiss had to understand.

“Make Chichiron the best in Zone 10. No, even more.”

“…?”

“Chichiron is valuable land to me.”

It wasn’t about the homeland in the past.

“Hire mercenaries, request support from those I mention. And…”

Sein said.

“Capture the fugitives.”

“…!”

Fugitives hiding in Chichiron.

Sein saw their value.

And there was value in Chichiron as well.

“Someday this place will be the fulcrum.”

“Fulcrum?”

“You, bastard. I’ll get you a tutor, so study.”

“…I’m sorry, sir.”

Sein sighed and said.

“Chichiron will be the passage I use when heading to the Dark Zone later. You brat.”

Borpeo, who had once been a candidate for Rasiel.

“I present the esteemed successor candidate of the great Demorus.”

The treatment upon his return to that place was markedly different from just a short while ago.

Under the leadership of Borpeo’s lord, Remi, the lords’ soldiers and knights knelt down, showing respect to Sein.

Even though they belonged to the Holy Empire, it was only natural for them to show respect to the three Dark Families.

The knights and soldiers were amazed.

“I knew you could do it, but I didn’t expect it to be this quick.”

Remy, who shed the veneer of pretense, poured wine and spoke.

“You don’t beat around the bush when someone’s missing. Do you have two lives?”

“You’re putting on airs.”

Remy chuckled and said, “I already feel like I’m walking on thin ice. Whatever happens, what’s the difference.”

But Remy’s complexion seemed better than before.

“There’s a proposal from the New Empire. About entering the central area.”

The Second District.

In the New Empire’s territory, those who could truly be called nobles and former royal families resided there.

And the humans of the New Empire called it the central area.

The Third District of the Dark Alley.

The First District called the Holy Land.

Because it was in the middle.

“It’s thanks to you, Sein.”

“If you know…”

The two conversed like old friends.

“Good luck from now on.”

At Sein’s following words, Remy’s face froze in surprise.

“Don’t forget what kind of hand you’ve caught.”

The transaction between them had ended, yet it had not.

“You didn’t think you could escape by going to the center, did you?”

Sein’s playful voice sounded too eerie in Remy’s ears.

“It would be good for you to think about your role even there.”

Sein, who was once called the mad dog of Chiciron.

He became the owner of the back alleys of Borfeo.

He also controlled the business district of Antara and became a candidate for Rasiel.

“Do you think I’ll end up as the successor?”

He became the successor candidate for Demorus.

For Sein, what remained were two steps forward.

“As you gain more…”

Rustle.

“You naturally become afraid of losing. So, remember that.”

The successor.

And the head of the family.
