I Became the Male Lead who was Clinging onto the Female Leads - Chapter 52



52 – What did you just say?(4)

“So to sum up what you said so far, you mean that the long-ago members of the Hobart House felt inferior to the Baron Grace?”

“… ….”

“Because they are a baron, they own an iron mine, earn more money than they do, and are successful, so it made me sick to my stomach like crazy.”

“…… Sorry…… Ham… ….”

Nathan’s entire face was blown apart. His mouth was swollen and he couldn’t pronounce it properly.

He was beaten by Eugene to the point of death, and his heart was broken, and he revealed all the truth about him.

“I don’t know if these are humans or beasts… ….”

Yujin was dumbfounded and let out a blank laugh.

The evil done by the long-ago figures of the Viscount Hobart was far beyond his imagination.

“Hey.”

“…… Yes.”

“I covet the property of the Baron Grace family, and I covet the iron mine as well.”

“… ….”

“Even I wanted to gulp them down!”

“… ….”

“But don’t you think that the way to eat it is overstepping the line?”

“… ….”

Nathan nodded weakly.

He wasn’t an elder decades ago, he was just a man pushed out of the fight for the head of the family.

He agreed to feed Baron Grace solitude, destroy his mind, and devour all of him, but he had no direct influence.

But even if he thinks like that…….

The evil deeds committed by his own family far exceeded the line that humans should not cross.

He sat atop a mountain of gold coins accumulated by his evil deeds, ate his fill and lived well…….

He had nothing to say even with ten mouths.

“Ehh…… Crazy kids…….”

Eugene scratched his head and stood up.

As he predicted, the long-ago figures of the Viscount Hobart plotted to ruin Baron Grace, and manipulated them into their own ways to ruin the family.

After that, he took everything away one by one…….

‘Oh.’

Seeing the handsome face of Nathan, who had lived happily for the rest of his life on top of the wealth and power accumulated through evil deeds, he wanted to leave the world immediately.

Because my grandfather, who fell victim to a machinations plotted by his brothers, ruined the family family with his own hands and died in tears of blood in his heart.

But…….

‘I’ll have to put up with it for now.’

If I killed Nathan according to my temper, everything would be a joke. I had to use him to prove the evil deeds of the Viscount Hobart and recover all the bases, stores, and iron mines that were unfairly taken away.

I had to pay off huge debts.

That was the path for Dallas, Erica, and everyone in the family who suffered all their lives.

Eugene took off his mask and sat down in front of Nason. Things had come this far, and he no longer had to hide his identity.

“Hey.”

“Yup… ….”

Nathan looked at Eugene trembling. He sees that terrified help……

It was as if he had been beaten so many times that he was traumatized.

“Didn’t we eat well and live well by stealing things from our family?”

“Yes…… Write…….”

“You know you’ve been banging your stomach for so long, now it’s time to give it back, right?”

“I know…… I have…….”

“Yes. Then let’s go to the police station with me. Confess all your evil deeds, go to court and testify everything. If you do that, I won’t beat you anymore and I’ll treat you well.”

“Okay…… Write…… “

Nathan nods his head vigorously.

‘This should work.’

Yujin sighed and tried to loosen the rope…….

‘Wait a minute.’

She stopped her hand at the question that pierced her head.

…… Will taking this guy to the police force solve the situation?

He interrogated Nathan and found out several things about him.

He was a person who was pushed out without developing a proper influence when a fight broke out over the position of head of household.

From noble mtl dot com

Even now, as an old man, Hangryeol was only bestowed with the honorable position of elder by the family, who could not exorcise such a high-ranking figure.

If you were born into a poor aristocratic family, you wouldn’t have the luxury of hiring escorts to go to and from gambling houses.

He was literally just an incompetent and powerless backroom old man.

‘Is it meaningful to bring such a person to court?’

It was highly unlikely.

Even if you move him to your will and accuse the Viscount Hobart of his evil deeds, the voices of those who oppose will be strong.

Especially Viscount Hobart will try to form an opposing public opinion.

He was greedy and obsessed with women, but he was not stupid. He took away everything from the Grace Baron family and stood tall as the richest man in the region, exerting tremendous influence throughout the region.

It is highly likely that he also bribed the police and courts in charge of the region.

‘If so… ….’

The testimony of Nathan, who was only an old man in the back room, and Eugene’s voice based on that testimony were not difficult to trample on.

Because Viscount Hobart is the head of a powerful viscount family, and Eugene is the eldest son of a fallen baron family.

‘Nothing is easy in this world.’

Having Nathan on the witness stand was nothing short of a plan. It was clear that no one would listen to Eugene even if he did such a thing.

In order to overturn all current bad conditions and expose the evil deeds of the Viscount Hobart to the whole world, fundamental evidence was needed to prove the evil deeds.

A powerful piece of evidence that no one can deny!

‘For that purpose.’

I had no choice but to do some bloody work.

Eugene took on Nathan’s hand with a dark expression on his face.

“What a shame…… To do…….”

Afraid, Nathan gave me a questioning look.

Eugene didn’t answer at all, and raised the mana in his body.

Cheese.

The mana was soon converted into brain energy and flowed into Nason’s body.

Craft!

“Rurrr!”

Nathan twitched, flipping his eyeballs. His face was instantly covered with tears and runny nose.

“Stop! aaan!”

The brain qi runs through the body and burns the yin and yang organs. It is a pain that is beyond the limits for a single human being to experience.

I didn’t know if he continued like this, his mind would be ruined.

‘At this point.’

Eugene took his brain energy and absorbed it.

“Kleur, gurreureuk… ….”

Nathan sighed and sighed.

Yujin grabbed his shoulder.

“Calm down.”

“Huh uh uh uh!”

“Did it hurt a lot?”

“Please, please don’t do that again…… ! Whatever you ask, I will tell you everything!”

“Yes. Okay.”

It was a face that would make up a fact that was not there and tell it.

After waiting for Nathan to calm down a bit, Eugene asked.

“I need proof.”

“…… What evidence are you talking about…… ?”

“Proof that you fed grandfather loneliness. Do you know anything?”

Nathan opened his mouth, his chin shaking.

“Well, I’m really old in the back room, so I don’t know anything…… !”

She even sheds tears, perhaps tired of fear.

“It’s okay. You may not know It can be.”

“I’m glad you understand… ….”

“I’ll help you until you think of something.”

“Do, help me…… ?”

Yujin smiled and held his hand.

Pajijijik!

“Rurrr!”

Nathan flipped his eyeballs once again in the theater pain.

‘Proof! Evidence!’

He gritted his teeth trying to think of something that could be evidence of the burning pain in his intestines. He went through all the memories in his head.

‘A family like a dog!’

If I could get out of this hellish pain, it wouldn’t matter if the family were destroyed.

Pajijijijik!

The entire body was scorched black from the high-temperature cerebral palsy.

After that hellish torture, Nathan let out his voice as he closed his eyes tightly.

“I forgot about it!”

“Huh? Did you remember?”

Yujin quickly captured the Brain.

“What is it? Say it.”

“Underground…… It’s underground…… !”

“Underground?”

Nathan nodded vigorously and continued.

“There is a sealed seal in the basement that only my younger brother, the head of the previous generation, could enter…… My younger brother had a gloomy side, so he wrote memoirs every day…… I used to spend a lot of time there…….”

“Are there clues there?”

“I am not sure if there is…… If not there, there is no evidence anywhere…….”

“That’s right… ….”

This was definitely a big clue.

If he went to the secret room located in the basement of the Hobart Viscount’s house, he seemed highly likely to obtain items that could serve as evidence.

‘I have no choice but to go to the secret room.’

All that was left was to devise a plan to infiltrate the secret room.

To do so, a lot of information was needed.

The exact location of the secret room, the dangers to face on the way to the secret room, and even how to open the secret room door.

“… ….”

Eugene smiled and held Nason’s hand.

“Grrr ….”

Then Nathan bit into crab foam and passed out.

“No… ….”

We held hands and did nothing…….

It seems that the physical pain in the past has been so excessive that it has exceeded the mental limit.

‘It’s nothing special.’

I have no choice but to ask again when I wake up.

Eugene laid down next to Nathan and made her sleep. He, too, was deprived of sleep.

When several hours had passed since then.

“Hey hee hee!”

Nathan opened his eyes terrified.

The sound was so loud that Eugene opened his eyes.

“…… Woke up? Let’s begin.”

“… ….”

He sat down in front of Nathan and held his hand.

“It won’t hurt if you answer the questions right away. The lips are also quite sunken, so the pronunciation is good. It was hard to understand.”

“… ….”

“Then let’s begin.”

“…… All right.”

“Tell me the exact location of the secret room you mentioned.”

“The location of the secret room is… ….”

The interrogation that began thus went on for a long time. This is because the success or failure of an infiltration can depend on a single line of fine knowledge.

“Now I know how to get to the secret room. Now tell me how to open the lockroom door.”

“It’s a place only my brother could come in and out, so I’m not sure, but… …. You probably need magical knowledge.”

“What magic?”

“I’ve only seen it once or twice, but… …. A huge magic circle was drawn on the door to the secret room. The door will open only when you use it, but since you are well-versed in brain-attribute magic, you must have opened and closed the door with brain-attribute magic.”

Because no one wanted to go into the locker room except for himself.

“…… I mean.”

To open the door to the secret room, a high level of brain attribute magic was required.

“How many castles did Viscount Hobart in the previous war era learn brain-attribute magic?”

“Nurture.”

“Nurture… ….”

Yuksung (六星) was a stage that no one had reached at Eugene’s age. No one was able to break through the thick wall of training.

‘They say you have to pierce it to enter the secret room… ….’

Even Eugene, a genius of magic, has not yet reached the level of training. It was common sense to seek another way. In common sense…….

However, he did not have the time to think leisurely. There was no guarantee that he would be able to find another way.

So.

‘I have no choice but to try.’

He had no choice but to challenge the wall of training.

There are approximately six days left until the day Viscount Hobart proposes to Erica.

‘From now on, I will abstain from eating and start training.’

Eugene made up her mind and stood up.

He drew his sword from its scabbard with a calm face.

Suddenly!

Nathan’s severed head rolled across the floor.

‘I don’t particularly like murder.’

With the mask removed in front of him, saving his life has become a difficult task.

‘I won’t feel unfair since I went after enjoying everything I had to enjoy.’

If he feels unfair, the former Baron Grace in the sky won’t stand still.

Because there is no one more unfair than him who died of loneliness and ruined his family with his own hands.

‘Time is running out.’

Eugene put his mana into his legs and kicked the ground.

There was a lot to do.
