Chapter 103 (2/2)

“He’s deadRothschild is no longer in 5th place and I’ downLook through the entire list and you’ll find his name”

“Huh?”

Dorian questioned

“Maybe around…”

Kang Chul-In tried his best to recall the past

“100th place”

“100th Place? Ha, no wayHe’s dead, so he’s definitely off this listI doubt that it’s just his ranking that…”

And suddenly, Dorian’s face turned frosty

“He’s there”

Dorian’s face was the epitome of shock

“105th placeHe’s aliveThat Rothschild”

It finally proved Kang Chul-In’s suspicions

-----

At the same time

Within the hidden chambers deep inside the Cya was sitting down on what looked like a throne

No, he was sleeping

“ !”

And then that h!”

And he started coughing up blood

“Kuk… Cough… Cough…!”

Fresh red blood started to co at how severe it was, it see

“Huk… Huk… Da his teeth in frustration

His condition wasn’t looking good right nowHe had pitch black dark circles hanging over his eyes, and his lips were black from all the blood

“Huk… Huk… You… One day, I’ll definitely kill you”

Though Rothschild eakened, the er than ever

“How dare hehu this, Rothschild touched the part of his neck that was sliced through by Kang Chul-In

It was a terrible, terrifying experience

Who could have experience getting their head chopped off alive? What he had experienced just noas a nightain

“Hu…”

Inhaling deeply, Rothschild opened his Status Page

[As penalty for the destruction of your clone, your stats will decrease by 70(0 clones left)]

[Lord Points will decrease by 300P, due to the sickness of the Lord]

[Your ranking has fallen from 5th → 105th place]

They were terrible losses

Though it was thankful that Rothschild himself hadn’t died, but 10 mole assassins, 20 wraiths, and 500 soldiers had all died, not to uardsRothschild had just lost 20 of his territory’s entire strength with that fight

This is significant, but… Rothschild had lost so even more important than that

His secret, that he had tried to protect from the world forever, had been revealed

His death, or rather his clone’s death, needed to be a hidden card left until the very endBut now that his secret had been discovered, he couldn’t stay hidden here forever

-------

‘cockroach-like bastard’

Finally realizing the unknown ‘specialty’ and secret of Rothschild, Kang Chul-In grit his teeth

‘You were able to survive because you were probably hidden away soh I had destroyed you countless times’

“How is he still alive? Is he unkillable or soure out how Rothschild was still alive, Dorian muttered, very confused

“No, that’s not true”

Kang Chul-In shook his head

“Then how is this possible?”

“There’s no way that he would go down 100 places in the Lord rankings just by losing 500that it’s a penalty on his real body that was placed due to the destruction of his ‘puppet’For this kind of ridiculously powerful and useful ability, there has to be risks”

Kang Chul-In could perfectly tell how Rothschild had survived now

“Aha! So Rothschild’s real body is somewhere else, and we just killed his ‘puppet’?”

“Exactly”

“Sigh… This Rothschild, he’s a cockroach, isn’t he? He won’t die no matter how much times you kill him”

“PftI like how you described hi Chul-In smirked

“Yeah, but anyway…”

Dorian suddenly pointed at a hill

“What do we do with that wo there, watching dazedly

“ThatChul-In muttered, as if he were startled
