Episode 92 – I feel proud.
92. I’m proud.
“This is…”
For the first time since the meeting began, Lehman spoke. These were the words Leon said while looking at the ampoule on the table.
Unlike Arianna Celia, Lehman sat here without knowing the details of the situation.
The reason he came here was because his younger brother was involved in an incident, and as the older brother who was nearby, he couldn’t ignore me. He could be seen as a kind of protector.
To summarize, while Lehman was unpacking, he heard that his brother had half-killed someone and rushed over.
So Lehman looked around his room and asked.
“What is this?”
Of course, I wasn’t asking because I really didn’t know anything. Lehman had a lot of experience, and it was fair to say that he was intelligent and wise.
After seeing Leon’s explanation of the situation and the appearance of the item presented, he was 90% sure.
‘It’s a drug.’
What immediately came to mind was the progression of the incident.
So, Kendrick’s gang went crazy after taking drugs in broad daylight and got beaten up by Leon.
“······.”
Cold anger welled up in Lehman.
It was anger at something that went beyond the law. It was anger against beings who cause chaos in the world.
‘Aren’t they ashamed of heaven?’
Yes, it is okay to give in and do drugs. Because he’s just ruining his own life.
But the damage should not have extended to others.
What if it wasn’t Leon who was there at the time? What if he was other powerless?
Someone must have been turned into a cold corpse by their sword.
This was the kind of thing that would never be tolerated in Lehman’s path.
“If my guess is correct, you will definitely have to pay the price.”
If you were going to just pass by after seeing something like this, there was no reason to carry a sword.
Kwoouk-.
Cheren’s arms tightened.
‘How dare you take drugs and use a sword carelessly at home?’
She too has fully figured out her situation.
At the same time, it was cool anger that ate away at her heart.
The family’s trainees made a real mistake. They even did things inside the training center, that is, within the Asonia family.
‘That doesn’t make sense.’
To be honest, I was in doubt while listening to Leon’s explanation.
Using drugs and swinging a sword at others.
It was hard to believe that even an ordinary person would do something so crazy.
But when physical evidence came from Leon, Cheren immediately believed everything Leon said.
From the beginning, Cheren’s trust and liking for Leon was very high. She thought of all the things he had done during her semester.
That’s why she didn’t confirm or doubt it.
“······.”
Cheren couldn’t bear to look into Leon’s eyes and looked away.
She was so embarrassed by Leon. She was embarrassed. I can’t believe they put her through this from her first day visiting the family.
Cheren turned his attention to the nobles instead of Leon. There was strong hostility in her eyes.
What? The extent of hitting those guys was too much?
It’s just a snort. Rather, it was a situation where Leon should be praised for not killing them on the spot.
‘This matter will never be overlooked.’
This was also related to the prestige of the family. There was her gratitude and regret toward Leon, as well as her own anger.
“Somehow, everything Prince Leon said feels true.”
“””······.”””
The nobles kept their mouths shut as Lehman and Cheren repeatedly spoke. The pressure coming from the two was truly incredible.
They felt betrayed. I couldn’t see any way out.
Of course, they were also thinking about the possibility that their child had made a really big mistake.
Could they have had no idea what their son was doing outside? I just thought it was okay or that there was no problem as long as I didn’t get caught.
When he heard Leon’s explanation, his heart sank. He immediately remembered what drugs his son had taken and what he had done.
But I still didn’t know. If it was just an individual’s statement without any witnesses, they could have insisted and gotten away with it.
This is not something that has been going on for a day or two in the central political arena. I was confident that I could bake a young guy who wasn’t even 20 years old yet.
······But I never thought I would go through my belongings and find the medicine myself.
Physical evidence was enough. In this case, the story was completely different.
“This is the Asonia family, they are the family’s apprentices, and Prince Leon is the family’s guest. And I have been given full authority over this incident by the head of the family.”
Cheren put her sword into her words and hurled it at the nobles.
He was full of excitement, as if telling him not to talk nonsense.
“I hope that the principles are followed.”
Lehman put pressure on them, telling them not to even think about backing down. The quiet, gentle prayers poured out as if they were drowning them.
His calm and serious demeanor made even those who were always making excuses and lies move their lips.
“······.”
“······.”
Celia stared at them arrogantly, while Aria stared at them coldly.
Tap, click, click, click.
Leon placed four more ampoules. The gaze was fixed on Count Wendell.
“Count.”
He smiled. It felt like a mockery to the nobles.
“Are you going to go to the end? Shall we investigate what kind of medicine this is, check if it is accurate physical evidence, compare the testimony when your son wakes up, and go to the temple and swear an oath of truth?”
“······.”
Count Wendell made eye contact with Leon with a stiff face.
“······.”
“······.”
A wordless look was exchanged.
He spoke after several seconds of silence.
“Young master, I am truly sorry about this incident. “Is there anything you want?”
Very politely.
* · * *
“Giggles.”
Leon laughed.
“Puhhehehe!”
They danced around, jumping here and there, spinning several times in the air and laughing.
“······Do you like it that much?”
“Khahahaha!”
Celia’s voice was instantly drowned out by Leon’s laughter.
The reason Leon was doing this was because of the three checks in his hand.
Money makes people happy. Especially if it is a very large amount of money. And what was written on the check was a very large amount of money.
Because the amount was so large, it had to be issued in three parts.
The sources of the checks were nobles, including Count Wendell.
Leon offered them a very large settlement.
Coordinating the amount went smoothly because Cheren and Lehman had their eyes wide open on both sides. I just brushed it off. The hands of the nobles writing out the checks were shaking.
Leon felt like his mood would be blown away by the amount that exceeded his expectations. He even has his hatred towards Kendrick’s gang swept away.
‘Yes, I would have come to my senses by then. ‘I will save your life once.’
Leon, who was in a good mood, treated them mercifully.
In fact, didn’t they actually take drugs and commit suicide?
Before and after were different. The truth was that he was beaten, made to lie down, and then forcibly given drugs.
Leon made it like that so that the next statement would be advantageous.
A little while ago, Leon fed black snake to Kendrick’s gang, knocked them out, and brought them to the waiting room.
Many people in the waiting room at that time were witnesses.
The muscles are abnormally swollen, the blood vessels are protruding, and the eyes are strangely colored. I clearly saw that the bodies of those who had fainted were strange.
This simply created the situation that Leon wanted. They were able to take advantage of that situation and put strong pressure on the visiting nobles.
Leon didn’t really think this was a hoax. In his opinion, starting a fight and pulling out a sword were the same thing.
What if they wake up later and claim injustice?
It doesn’t matter. The settlement has already been received and the case is closed.
‘I’m proud. Goddesses, are you watching?’
Leon looked up at the sky with a happy face.
Kendrick gang. They are all sons of famous noble families and there are many of them. He must have been wandering around the system and doing all kinds of bully things.
For example, secretly drugging a woman and raping her.
To begin with, they were the ones who deserved to be beaten to death. Now that my legs have become sore, I won’t be able to exercise my lower body properly.
It is a heartwarming and just story in which trash meets a proper owner named Leon and is treated as a reverse tourist.
Leon felt that the gods were blessing his future. Of course, that was a subjective opinion.
“Everyone is hungry, right? Let’s go eat. “I just buy it all.”
Leon was excited and spoke to Aria and Celia who were with him today.
“Okay, master.”
“Oh, really?”
The two smiled happily and answered.
They left Ashonia House and started heading towards the city.
The colorful night view of District 2 of the Islands unfolded before them.
Lights of romantic colors. It felt as if the stars in the night sky had fallen.
Soft music played between the pure white buildings, and the voices of passers-by drifted through the warm summer night air.
On top of that, Leon, Aria, and Celia burst into happy laughter.
The beginning of summer vacation. It was our first night on the island.
cheren and lehman let it go? XD probably not
