“Oh, are you kidding me?!”
It was truly shocking.
Ryan apologized and calmed me down after being excited.
“Sorry, sorry.”
“Why did you say that in the first place!”
It was so absurd. He had asked Nike not to meet women.
Even Nike said he understood, but somehow the conversation reached the Crown Prince.
The Crown Prince, who misunderstood the absurd conversation, questioned Ryan...
“Then it doesn’t matter if the Third Prince meets another woman?”
"That...!"
I was speechless for a moment.
"That, that person is free! I'm nothing to him right now, so why tell him to meet someone or not?"
“You’re saying things you don’t mean.”
It was truly shocking.
Ryan apologized and calmed me down after being excited.
“Sorry, sorry.”
“Why did you say that in the first place!”
It was so absurd. He had asked Nike not to meet women.

“You’re saying things you don’t mean.”
...Yeah, that’s true, I don’t mean it.
I was honestly surprised that Nike agreed to Ryan's request... and also happy...
“But isn’t it too late?”
“Oh, I see.”
That's right. We knew the academy would contact us again soon, since the Crown Prince had taken action.
'But I didn't know it would be this quick.'
The power of the Crown Prince is truly direct.
As soon as I finished my private meeting with him, someone from the admissions office came over, perhaps because word had leaked out while I was renting the VIP room.
They passed the document screening and asked if Alex could take the test now.
Alex agreed and went straight to the testing room, promising to return with a perfect score.
The entrance exam takes at least six hours to complete, as there are many types and the procedures are rigorous.
“Then... would you like to go do it now?”
“Oh, really?!”
I clapped my hands in agreement with Ryan's suggestion. We were originally supposed to do something together today.
“I’ve promised to meet him again, brother Revan, but I’ll have enough until then!”
I immediately stretched my arms and legs to loosen up. Ryan laughed, as if he found me dumbfounded.
“Why are you loosening up? You don’t have anything to do with your body.”
"Haha, Dad's going to use his body. I'll feel like I'm using it. I've always wanted to take over Dad's body someday. This will be fun."
Ryan flinched.
“It’s so scary.”
“Haha! Don’t be scared. It won’t happen anyway.”
We are currently talking about Marina's Bless <Dark Footsteps> that we had before.
This is because this is the first time I have had the chance to use it.
“You need to train up to level 4 to be able to control someone else’s body, but I’m only going to level 2.”
Step 1: Hide in the shadows.
Step 2 is moving from shadow to shadow.
“I have to train up to level 2 to be able to use it.”
"Why? You never know what might happen, so wouldn't it be better to master it thoroughly? It's an easy blessing to train."
“....”
For a moment, I was speechless.
I rolled my head in an instant and added calmly.
"There's no need to go that far anyway. You'll be caught the moment you try to control someone with special abilities. Why would you do something like that?"
“Aha. That’s true.”
Ryan nodded as if he understood, but I was uneasy.
Because lions are so sharp...
"We have to worry about saying something wrong to our own people. It's difficult, it's difficult."
Then Ryan pointed to the sky and said.
“Hurry up! Let’s hide before the sun sets!”
The original purpose of our coming to the capital was only for Alex's academy entrance exam.
But didn't you meet Brigitte, whom you hadn't expected to meet?
The day we met, she was wearing a black rose-shaped brooch on her chest.
I knew it as soon as I saw it.
Soon, my second brother, Elliot's secret auction will be held.
“Want to do it?”
I spoke to Ryan in a hurry.
"Let's do it!"
Ryan readily agreed.
Our ultimate goal is the extermination of Wassenberg.
And, while waiting for Ryan's blessing to be trained for him, I clean up the shit my brothers throw around as best I can.
'Of course, this wasn't expected.'
I don't have much information now, because I only started interfering with my brothers' misdeeds after I became an adult.
Around this time, before my return, I was busy spending a lot of money and traveling abroad.
So all I know now is...
Brigitte is the messenger who distributes invitations to Elliot's secret auction to the nobles.
Also, to let people know that an auction is about to be held, and to ensure that only the so-called 'Black Club' nobles who know about it can come to receive an invitation, they always wear a black rose brooch during the auction week.
'But that alone is enough!'
In a mansion, a room is pitch black, with the sunlight blocked by blackout curtains.
“It’s dark.”
The man who came in muttered.
Dragon's Wrath
Soon, candles placed here and there lit up. In the brightened room, several men and women were visible.
Everyone is lying down with their eyes rolled back in a daze, as if they are all in a good mood.
The man who saw that sight, Elliot Wassenberg, chuckled.
“It kills the effect.”
Thud, thud.
Elliot cut through the crowd with his heels.
There are bright red flowers scattered around.
Cypraxia.
This is a narcotic plant grown and imported from abroad, and it is the first item to be showcased at this secret auction.
It could have been imported a long time ago, but it is only now being released into the capital.
The royal family, who had smelled the scent, had been thoroughly inspecting the country for several months.
Elliot opened the box on the table. Inside was a stack of Cypraxia.
“Hmm.”
Pick up a flower and smell its fragrance.
'But isn't the joy that comes after hardship even more thrilling?'
Although many businesses, including secret auctions, were subject to royal scrutiny, Elliot rather enjoyed the situation.
Because the sweetest fruit comes from doing things you shouldn't do, secretly, and underwater.
Isn't that human nature?
Here, like the rich children of the nobility, sprawled out like beasts, drunk on pleasure.
Elliot Water Feeding Project.
The first step is to find out where and when the secret auction will be held.
Ryan is now walking alone down the street of jewel shops on the island.
As this is a street of shops that only deal in the most expensive precious metals, almost all of the people who visit here are wealthy people.
He walks slowly, taking in people's faces one by one as he shares his view.
“Can you find it here?”
Ryan mutters to himself.
He opened the door.
The Eye of the Mirror - The Book of Sound
'Once I eat it, I guess I'll have something to use it for.'
Right now, this is the only way we can talk. I'm in Ryan's shadow.
I know the club roster. I even remember every face. Since they're rich people, hanging around places like this is a regular occurrence, I'm sure I'll run into at least one person.
Elliot's Secret Auction House.
Crazy nobles come looking for things that cannot be obtained through ordinary means, no matter how much money they have.
Not just anyone can enter; the auction location changes each time, and the items being traded are kept top secret until the auction opens.
Nobles who have already participated in dozens of auctions and spent a lot of money to build up a certain level of trust are given a badge called the 'Black Club', which has benefits.
If you join this club, they will give you an invitation without any questions.
So, if you just find the nobles belonging to the Black Club, you can find out the time and location of the secret auction that's being held this time!
[Oh, oh, oh, dad, dad!]
“Why, why?”
[Brother-in-law, brother-in-law!]
"...What?"
After walking around the jewelry store street for about 40 minutes.
Finally, he spotted a Black Club member entering a store accompanied by two escorts.
[It's Marquis Philippe Ballack!]
“Why is that person your brother-in-law?”
[He's Diana's husband.]
"Wow!"
Ryan was surprised. He must have opened his eyes really wide, seeing his field of vision widen.
“Is this the first time you met your brother-in-law?”
[...? Dad, wait! Where are you going!]
Ryan followed Marquis Philippe Ballack in without even a meeting to discuss what to do.
Ding.
A bell rang, and two large guards, as expected from a store handling expensive jewelry, stood by the door.
[Dad, please tell me what to do and how to do it...]
Ryan turned to one of the guards and said.
“Hello? This is Gangdo.”
"Yes?"
crazy!
Before the guard could even grasp the situation, Ryan pulled his arm and cut his neck cleanly.
“Gyaaak!”
The scream of a young woman who is the shop owner.
“What are you!”
The one remaining guard rushes in belatedly in surprise.
But he too is helplessly subdued and lies down on the floor.
Clank.
The crazy robber knocked out two guards in the blink of an eye and even locked the store door.
“Gyaaaaah!”
"fizzle."
Then, when the owner screams in fear and pretends to slit his throat, the dog immediately closes its mouth.
‘I really… I think I’m crazy.’
At that time, I was shocked.
At this point, I'm starting to get curious.
How far can this man go and do crazy things...
Fortunately, there were only three guests inside.
The target, Marquis Philippe Ballack, and his two escorts are visible. The escorts already have their swords drawn.
“Ugh! I’m busy, so how about a knife?”
Ryan said so and closed his left eye.
Then, three people are caught in the field of vision with only the right eye open.
Raise your palm, cover the Marquis Philippe in the middle, and remove him from your sight.
“Sorry, I need to take a nap.”
Instant Death
I'll just hand over the two escorts.
…did that mean I should sleep in the other world?
Everything unfolds in a matter of minutes, leaving no time for anyone, including me, to take stock of the situation.
Marquis Philippe also trembles in thought, his eyes filled with disbelief.
Ryan strode towards us.
And then.
Clang-!
He just threw it on top of the jewelry display case next to him and broke it with his fist.
‘…He’s really crazy.’
Ryan, who was picking up a piece of broken glass with his bleeding hand, quickly pulled Marquis Philip's shoulder.
He asks, shoving a sharp piece of glass into his throat.
“Hey, Blue Club?”
The Marquis frowned.
What are you talking about? That's a weird expression.
[It's a black club.]
Corrected it.
Then Ryan let out a sigh and asked again.
“Black Club?”
Only then did a look of tension appear in the Marquis's eyes.
I was honestly surprised that Nike agreed to Ryan's request... and also happy...
“But isn’t it too late?”
“Oh, I see.”
That's right. We knew the academy would contact us again soon, since the Crown Prince had taken action.
