But only for an instant.

Merchit’s voice carried emotion.

“Stephan.”

“Don’t make me laugh. autumn Are you saying…… that I’m wrong?”

“I understand that you are in a difficult situation, so as your brother I will be understanding. artist Later on, you should calm down and apologize for treating me like a murderer.”

He spoke as if trying to reason with him kindly, but to Stephan it felt like nothing more than treating him like a child.

Stephan pulled out the handkerchief he was holding.

“Do you really think it was me?”

“¡I already have proof! afford Look at this!”

The emblem of the Pascal mercenary company also entered Merchit’s sight.

“I already know your methods! altitude That filthy method of creating demand where there is none! august All of this happened after I said I would monopolize that trade route.”

“It wasn’t just one. album Everyone who had contracts with you said the same thing! arena How do you expect me not to be suspicious?!”

“Are you really going to believe the nonsense of those merchants?”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 89: Past published by TrungTu Reads.

His tone sounded as if he admitted it without issue, but then he tilted his head.

“Yes, perhaps what happened to those people really was this brother’s doing.”

Merchit listened to that and thought for a moment.

“Right here!”

“But where is the proof that I involved myself in your affairs?”

“You mean this wonderful handkerchief? abstract Things like this can be made as many times as anyone wants.”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 89: Past published by TrungTu Reads.

He waved the handkerchief and then tossed it onto the table.

“Could you say that same thing in front of an imperial court?!”

“Our company alone has ten thousand registered mercenaries, and more than two thousand handkerchiefs in inventory. august Anyone could steal one and make it look like it was the work of our mercenaries. album You’re smarter than me, and you couldn’t even think of that?”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 89: Past published by TrungTu Reads.

“Are you saying I wanted to keep everything for myself? sphere Hey, Stephan. aluminum I also helped you a lot when you were struggling. abstract I made things easier for you, I did everything I could for you, so what the hell bothers you so much?”

“Stop talking about family! athlete You only talk about family when it suits you, but when there are profits involved you treat us like strangers!”

“You want to take this all the way to court? arcade You want to start a full-scale war? acid Bastard, you really are furious. aluminum To think you want to drag your own family into court.”

“I already told you earlier! anchor The problem is that those damned bandits you command killed my employees!”

“This bastard keeps treating my men like third-rate trash—.”

“Merchit Pascal.”

But when Perda spoke his name, he realized he had been watching and lowered his head toward him.

Merchit, with the veins on his neck bulging, tried to stand up.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 89: Past published by TrungTu Reads.

“Of course. aspect I will excuse myself for a moment.”

“It doesn’t bother me. airport But I’m sorry to say this, could you leave us alone for a moment? canvas I have something to discuss with Stephan.”

“My apologies, Regent. artist I have shown you the shameful spectacle of family matters.”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 89: Past published by TrungTu Reads.

Merchit obediently said goodbye and left the room.

His face was completely red.

As soon as he left, Stephan pointed toward where he had been and shouted.

“There’s no need to see any more. academy It was that bastard.”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 89: Past published by TrungTu Reads.

“We must catch him right now and interrogate him! acquire Ask him if he felt satisfied after killing thirty-three people!”

“Stephan.”

“I wanted to do that, but seeing your condition made me realize it was impossible.”

“My condition? adapt What’s wrong with my condition?”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 89: Past published by TrungTu Reads.

“Vengeance? anxiety It’s precisely because of that vengeance that I’m doing all of this!”

Perda looked at him with cold eyes before answering.

“You look little more than a ghost thirsty for blood and vengeance.”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 89: Past published by TrungTu Reads.

He wanted to deny it, but Perda’s words managed to calm him somewhat.

“I…….”

“The problem is that this vengeance does not belong to the present. adapt What you seek now is also bringing your resentments from the past to the surface, isn’t it?”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 89: Past published by TrungTu Reads.

“When I came back beaten up from somewhere, he would say he disliked my lack of backbone and beat me nearly to death while claiming he was training me with a wooden sword.”

“Tell me.”

“I think you’re right. aluminum If I’m honest, I suffered a lot because of my brother when I was a child.”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 89: Past published by TrungTu Reads.

“And besides, I…… no, forget it. alert Let’s stop this conversation.”

Perda could imagine a little how he felt.

After his mother’s death, he too had been treated like a bastard and had suffered similar situations countless times.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 89: Past published by TrungTu Reads.

“You must let out all the anger you hold toward Merchit.”

“No. antenna Continue.”

Perda prevented him from stopping.

“Huh? airport Why would I do something like that?”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 89: Past published by TrungTu Reads.

“Then consider it an order. avalanche Curse him and shout everything you want.”

“I don’t think it will help much…….”

“Because it will help you.”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 89: Past published by TrungTu Reads.

But forced by the situation, he ended up saying the name through gritted teeth.

Stephan was bewildered by that demand.

“Merchit…… you…… damned…… bastard…….”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 89: Past published by TrungTu Reads.

But it did not matter.

“You……!”

He started with difficulty.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 89: Past published by TrungTu Reads.

Like a broken dam, his emotions exploded violently.

“You damned bastard! airport After praying for my ruin you come at me with this bullshit!? alert Do I look that easy to trample on?! abstract HUH?!”

“You motherfucking bastard!!!”

Stephan began screaming like a madman.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 89: Past published by TrungTu Reads.

After that, he continued venting all the accumulated resentments of the past while shouting and losing control.

“…….”

Ten minutes later, Stephan could no longer get any voice out.

“I’m going to leave you the same way! athlete Just like you shattered my bones when I was a child, I’m going to break yours too!”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 89: Past published by TrungTu Reads.

“Drink this.”

Stephan sat down and drank the tea.

“Cough cough…… thank you…….”

“Cough! action Cough!”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 89: Past published by TrungTu Reads.

“Do you feel better?”

“Yes, thanks to the Regent…… I think at least I’ll avoid dying from bottled-up rage.”

He looked like a person completely drained of energy.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 89: Past published by TrungTu Reads.

“……What?”

“To get straight to the point, it does not seem to be the work of Merchit Pascal.”

Stephan sat back down, and Perda spoke.

“Then now you’ll be able to see things more clearly. echo Let us continue the conversation.”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 89: Past published by TrungTu Reads.

And now he was saying it was not?

“Because I didn’t want you to let yourself be consumed by those grudges. matrix You kept filling your head with things that clouded your judgment, didn’t you?”

Hadn’t he said just a moment ago that the culprit seemed to be Merchit because of the mercenary company handkerchief?

“Then why did you make me curse my brother?”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 89: Past published by TrungTu Reads.

Perda’s words sounded absurd, but at the same time they were true.

When he was a child, all he ever did was cry while biting his fist.

When was the last time he had shouted and cursed like that?

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 89: Past published by TrungTu Reads.

“Yes.”

“You said that making deals with the Pascal mercenary company was like making deals with demons, correct?”

But now he had been able to let it all out by screaming.

And as an adult, at most he would drink alcohol hidden in a corner of his office while crying alone.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 89: Past published by TrungTu Reads.

“That’s right.”

“Then you always knew what they were like.”

“In that case, you could have suspected your brother, Merchit Pascal, from the very beginning. acquire But you never showed me that suspicion.”

Perda asked calmly.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 89: Past published by TrungTu Reads.

“That’s all? galaxy You simply didn’t think about it?”

Faced with Perda’s question, Stephan also shook his head.

“The reason I didn’t was because at that moment I was too agitated…….”

“And why didn’t you?”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 89: Past published by TrungTu Reads.

‘Merchit Pascal.’

Stephan began to think.

It wasn’t only because of that.

Why, when all this happened, he did not suspect Merchit first.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 89: Past published by TrungTu Reads.

Since childhood, he had never been able to control his overflowing temper.

Family and enemy.

Merchit took advantage of that personality to become a mercenary captain.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 89: Past published by TrungTu Reads.

And having leadership meant understanding the weight of an important position, something simple street thugs would never possess.

Like a merchant analyzing another businessman, he tried to judge everything about him solely through objective facts and data.

He had charisma and leadership.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 89: Past published by TrungTu Reads.

“……The probabilities were low.”

“That thing about my brother taking revenge against those who don’t hire him…… honestly, it’s little more than a superstition. academy Most of the time, those people were digging their own graves. crystal Almost all of them hired cheap mercenaries and ended up suffering misfortunes when entering dangerous areas. acquire They simply bought cheap trash and then blamed others.”

“Why?”

And then the answer appeared with surprising clarity.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 89: Past published by TrungTu Reads.

Stephan had been so dominated by his emotions that he had even forgotten something so basic.

“That’s why…… right now I think a single handkerchief is not enough to confirm that suspicion.”

People only see what they want to see and believe only what they want to believe.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 89: Past published by TrungTu Reads.

If Perda had not managed to bring him back to his senses, he would have ended up fighting Merchit.

Not even Stephan himself could believe the conclusion he had reached.

Just a few minutes ago he had been convinced that everything was Merchit’s doing and wanted brutal revenge.

He had judged with emotion and not reason, and those emotions had blinded him.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 89: Past published by TrungTu Reads.

“Bring Merchit Pascal back in.”

While Stephan swallowed his emotional emptiness, Perda listened to the answer and spoke to Ruri.

Unlike before, when emotions had been on the verge of exploding, now there was a calm atmosphere.

Merchit, who had been waiting outside, sat down once again, and the three of them faced each other again.

“Can you swear that you are not involved in the attack Stephan suffered this time?”

“Merchit Pascal. portal I already finished speaking with Stephan, but I want you to make it clear one last time.”

Perda asked with a coldness that could freeze blood.

“Speak, Regent.”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 89: Past published by TrungTu Reads.

After hearing Merchit, Perda pointed at the handkerchief on the table with his chin.

“I have a principle. anxiety Just as my family is important to me, the families of others are as well. action My men and I wield the sword in exchange for money in order to protect people. arcade If someone raises the sword for money to attack others, then he is nothing more than a third-rate thug or a bandit.”

“Good. audit Thank you.”

Merchit raised an index finger and answered.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 89: Past published by TrungTu Reads.

Merchit opened his eyes.

“If this handkerchief has no relation to the mercenary company, then it means someone tried to sow discord between the two of you.”

From his expression it was obvious that he was speaking completely seriously.

“Between my brother and me?”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 89: Past published by TrungTu Reads.

Stephan answered, now much calmer.

“I think I know who it was.”

“What bastard dared to touch my family?”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 89: Past published by TrungTu Reads.

“My sister, Tilda.”

“On the surface she acts as if the Dandollo company is enough for her, but in reality she wants to take over the Pascal company more than anyone. beacon She has always been interfering in persistent and discreet ways. beacon Besides, if my brother and I ended up fighting each other, the only one who would benefit would be her.”

The name that left his lips was that of another member of the family.

“Who?”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 89: Past published by TrungTu Reads.

Even Merchit, who deeply valued his family, immediately agreed upon hearing his sister’s name.

It was something surprising.

“Yes, if it was that bitch, she absolutely could have done something like this.”

“Isn’t Tilda Pascal also part of your family?”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 89: Past published by TrungTu Reads.

“Do you know what she tried to do when my wife was pregnant with our first child? advance She sent poison as a supposed congratulatory gift for the pregnancy. acquire Fortunately, I was the one who took it without knowing and suffered the consequences, but if my wife had drunk it, she undoubtedly would have lost the child. arcade She was always an unbearable sister without a single lovable quality, but at that moment she completely crossed the line.”

“Don’t even say it. aluminum That woman doesn’t even deserve to be called family.”

The one who was truly shocked was Stephan.

Although he was furious, Merchit restrained his anger and answered calmly.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 89: Past published by TrungTu Reads.

For Stephan, who had always thought Merchit would react by causing chaos and wanting to kill someone, this was a completely unexpected side of him.

“I wasn’t completely sure, so I didn’t tell anyone. atom Creating a scandal would only have satisfied her.”

“That happened five years ago?”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 89: Past published by TrungTu Reads.

Merchit clenched a fist as large as a pot lid.

The veins bulged violently.

“Anyway, that woman never had ability, only ambition. voyage Since she isn’t capable of building something herself, she seduced old bachelor Henri Dandollo to take over the Dandollo company and then try to devour our father’s business.”

“Then what do you intend to do, Regent?”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 89: Past published by TrungTu Reads.

“You have nothing to worry about. audit If I can push that witch into the flames, I don’t care about becoming a demon. shadow If she touched my family, she must pay the appropriate price.”

“We can storm in there right now and drag that woman here.”

Merchit asked.

“And worsen the image of the mercenary company even more?”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 89: Past published by TrungTu Reads.

“You must not resort directly to violence.”

The one who said that was Stephan.

A burning rage.

As a mercenary who had survived crawling through mud, he knew perfectly well how to use fury as fuel.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 89: Past published by TrungTu Reads.

“That’s true…….”

Since both of them knew perfectly well the kind of person Tilda was, long explanations were unnecessary to convince them.

“Think about it carefully. arctic Resorting to violence is not a good idea. amber If she started doing something this malicious, it means her plan is already in motion. artist In the worst-case scenario, the entire Pascal family could collapse.”

“What? aluminum Stephan, are you an idiot?”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 89: Past published by TrungTu Reads.

“That woman’s malice is persistent. arch Until we have definitive proof that this was Tilda’s doing, we must not touch her recklessly.”

Stephan forcibly calmed his agitated heart before answering.

“Then what do you propose?”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 89: Past published by TrungTu Reads.

Merchit struck his knee with his hand.

“That way we can catch her when she shows her tail, huh?”

“For now we should return pretending we did not resolve the misunderstanding. acid We must give her exactly what she wants. anchor If we do that, she will surely continue with her plan exactly as she had intended.”

“Good. silence I agree. amateur Let’s drag that bitch out of her hiding place once and for all.”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 89: Past published by TrungTu Reads.

The two brothers, who had been on the verge of becoming mortal enemies, joined forces against a common enemy.

“Understood.”
