MTLNOVEL Chapter 9 - The Girl Takes Petty Revenge (2)
The Girl Takes Petty Revenge (2)
After finishing breakfast with the women of the mansion, Karma immediately took me away from Peri under the pretext of discussing business.
As soon as I entered what appeared to be his office, I threw my uniform jacket on the coat rack and lay down on the sofa.
“Ugh, my knees were killing me.”
“That’s what happens when you make enemies.”
“You told me to guard her!? Should I have been nice instead and let your daughter fall in love with me and propose marriage? Huh? Father-in-law?”
“Who’s your father-in-law? Touch my daughter and you’re dead, you punk!”
“If you don’t like that, then tell your daughter to stop tormenting me! She’s developing bad habits.”
“…When she gets upset, she takes petty revenge just like her mother.”
Karma seemed troubled, as if he hadn’t known this side of his daughter existed.
Her mother would be Karma’s wife, but come to think of it, I’ve never seen her.
“…Peri’s mother died right after giving birth to her. She was always frail.”
“…I see.”
Karma seemed to notice my curiosity and explained before I could ask, and this time I nodded calmly without complaining.
“By the way, I have something to tell you.”
“What is it?”
“I found out whose arm you brought.”
“…That was fast.”
Not even twelve hours had passed, let alone a day, and they’d already found out.
Seeing things like this, it’s clear why they’re the largest mafia in the duchy.
“Well, quick movement and information gathering are Serpe’s specialties.”
“So, who’s the culprit and where are they from?”
“The Grizzly, they’re the second largest group in this duchy after our Serpe, though they’re not even comparable to Serpe in size.”
“So it’s the second-in-command plotting against the leader?”
“Seems that way, but somehow, that Grizzly has been completely destroyed now.”
“What do you mean by destroyed?”
