Chapter 183 - The Ark Of The New Earl (1/2)

”But what will I get?” asked Yan, eyes big.

”Geez, humans are always looking for rewards, huh? A truly corrupted mind. Do it for the sake of being kind to others,” reminded Baldwin.

Yan looked at him confusingly.

”But isn't that how the world works? If you do something, then you must get something in return!” yelled Yan.

”That's how your world works. Not others. We live by a very principle. Everyone has their version of the world. Yours has been clouded and stained. Hopefully, you'll find a way to make your vision of the world clear again.”

”At the very least, do I get to have this every day?” asked Yan, pointing to his empty bowl.

”You could if you ordered them to. I'm giving you the chance to be Earl of the Teuton domain,” smiled Minwoo.

”What do you mean?” asked Yan, with a blank face.

”You see, the Earl of the Teuton domain has recently fallen from power. The riots were quite grand over there, so there's an empty spot. As a Marquess, I could get you the spot, since Teuton is under the care of the Campania.”

”What do you mean by that?' asked Yan, scratching his head.

”Think of the Campania being an older brother to Teuton. It may be larger in size but the Campania as more manpower.”

”And all I need to do is...”

”Join us to help the underworld of human society. And work with the Mages.”

”But isn't there the system of the mafia? We rule the underworld of the Campania.”

”Yea, but it ain't too effective. You aren't close to Mages, because you think that they are monsters that will kill for no reason. But with what you've seen, I highly doubt you feel the same way as the rest of the mafia.”

”Frankly speaking, did you have the same vision as Ashley did? Or did you do it for the sake of being safe? For the sake of keeping yourself alive?”

He stayed silent before opening his mouth to answer.

”I thought the Mages were truly out to get us. But, after what I've seen, my vision has shifted to somewhere else. Somewhere that I'm uncertain of.”
