I Married the Dragon I Killed

According to the testimonies of Stephan and Merchit, who had lived under the same roof as her, she was a woman incapable of showing mercy.

Tilda Pascal was a villainess.

And a personality like that inevitably attracts resentment.

They said she destroyed everything that annoyed her.

That was why he believed there had to be a fairly obvious culprit behind all of this.

The most suspicious was Rico Dandolo, who had been poisoned.

Perda, who had accumulated more resentment than anyone else, knew that very well.

Then came Stephan, Merchit, or even their wives.

But there was one person Perda had never suspected.

He had even suspected Herman, the father.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 95: Master and Slave published by TrungTu Reads.

Henri.

That middle-aged man who seemed so clumsy.

“So it was you who ordered the investigation on Tilda?”

Unable to believe it, Perda asked directly.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 95: Master and Slave published by TrungTu Reads.

“That’s correct.”

“You hired them while wishing for her downfall?”

“That’s correct.”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 95: Master and Slave published by TrungTu Reads.

Henri smiled faintly.

“And even knowing it would end like this, you still did all of this?”

“Of course. portal I had already considered this ending as well.”

At first glance, it looked like an overly gentle smile.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 95: Master and Slave published by TrungTu Reads.

“Because I sincerely love Tilda. acquire I would do anything for her.”

“Why?”

So gentle that he seemed like a naïve person incapable of hiding what he felt.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 95: Master and Slave published by TrungTu Reads.

Ruri interrupted as she listened.

“And that ‘anything’ ends like this?”

Her face was filled with disgust.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 95: Master and Slave published by TrungTu Reads.

“Of course.”

And upon hearing that answer, everyone else’s expressions looked very similar to Ruri’s.

Henri answered with a smile, as if he did not care at all about her reaction.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 95: Master and Slave published by TrungTu Reads.

“Is this woman really worth enough for you to hand over your company to me?”

“I don’t mind being criticized. adapt Countless women whispered words of love to me only because of my money and reputation. auction So why can’t I also love only someone’s appearance?”

“Please ask.”

“I have no intention of criticizing your actions. orbit But I am curious.”

She was nowhere near Olivia, the woman for whom a man had handed over his entire territory and a million roses.

But she was not an incomparable beauty.

Henri answered as though none of it mattered.

Tilda was beautiful, yes.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 95: Master and Slave published by TrungTu Reads.

“Tilda?”

Henri had been waiting for Rico’s death.

“She is a truly beautiful woman, but also a truly sinister one. timber Who in this world poisons her father-in-law and plans to murder her entire family?”

“The company was my father’s treasure, not mine. antique It never held that much value for me. accent If anything, I wanted to get rid of it. arrow And so I used the woman I love.”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 95: Master and Slave published by TrungTu Reads.

In a way, the one who truly had Tilda spinning in the palm of his hand was Henri.

He had watched everything.

Only then did Perda finally understand a question he had left aside.

And controlled everything.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 95: Master and Slave published by TrungTu Reads.

“They said that when the catalyst was destroyed, the head of the family, Rico Dandolo, suddenly died.”

“That was not Tilda’s doing.”

“That’s correct. abandon My father passed away.”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 95: Master and Slave published by TrungTu Reads.

“My father always wanted me to become a strategist. altitude And I became the son who fulfilled his wishes.”

Henri answered ambiguously.

“But it certainly looked like something she would do.”

Perda’s eyes seemed to pierce through Henri.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 95: Master and Slave published by TrungTu Reads.

After the silence, Henri concluded the conversation.

Perda could not answer.

“……”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 95: Master and Slave published by TrungTu Reads.

“All of my companies will pass into your hands. album So I would like to ask for just one thing.”

“Understood.”

“As promised, I will hand over the Dandolo Guild. antique I will transfer the ownership rights to you, Regent Perda, and if you delegate the management rights to my brother-in-law, everything will be resolved quickly.”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 95: Master and Slave published by TrungTu Reads.

“What is it?”

She frowned with obvious irritation.

Perda’s gaze shifted toward Ruri.

“I want you to return something that was taken from my wife.”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 95: Master and Slave published by TrungTu Reads.

That meant someone else had secretly taken it.

“I didn’t touch anything.”

“And why are you looking at me?”

Perda immediately pointed to the next suspect.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 95: Master and Slave published by TrungTu Reads.

“You put me in a difficult position saying such passionate things, ugyaaak!”

“Because it could only be you.”

Penelope.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 95: Master and Slave published by TrungTu Reads.

“Ugek! armor Eek! harbor I-it’s on my tail! antique I hung it on my tail!”

“Stop saying nonsense and talk! adopt Where did you hide it?”

“You damned demon, it had to be you. alpha Will your insides explode if you go a single day without causing trouble?”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 95: Master and Slave published by TrungTu Reads.

Zed searched her thoroughly and, just as she said, there was a ring hanging from her tail.

“Hngh, my diamond…!”

“What do you mean your diamond, you lunatic?”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 95: Master and Slave published by TrungTu Reads.

“It’s a Blood Diamond. accent An engagement ring?”

Zed handed it to Perda.

A ring made with a Blood Diamond, a jewel impossible to buy with money.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 95: Master and Slave published by TrungTu Reads.

She made gloomy sounds, like a wandering spirit.

“Uuu……”

“That’s correct. orbit It is the only thing my wife truly loves.”

As soon as Henri received the ring, he walked directly toward Tilda.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 95: Master and Slave published by TrungTu Reads.

Those eyes that had wandered aimlessly suddenly focused clearly on the diamond.

“Tilda, my love. accent Look at this. alien It’s your favorite diamond ring.”

Tilda’s empty eyes, while she sat there completely gone and drooling, turned toward the ring.

“Hehe……”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 95: Master and Slave published by TrungTu Reads.

She smiled as though she had obtained the entire world.

***

And Henri smiled as he watched her.

Henri promised to disappear together with Tilda.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 95: Master and Slave published by TrungTu Reads.

He had not lied when he said he had anticipated this ending.

He had already prepared a house in the west as well as enough money to live modestly.

“He truly is a twisted man.”

He intended to leave Dandolo Mansion taking only what was necessary to quietly live out the rest of his life.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 95: Master and Slave published by TrungTu Reads.

Her clenched hands were filled with the desire to break Henri’s neck.

Ruri said.

“You really intend to let him go?”

Perda nodded as though it were the most natural thing in the world.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 95: Master and Slave published by TrungTu Reads.

Perda looked at Ruri.

“He fulfilled his promise. amber So I must fulfill mine as well.”

“And what if something so disgusting ends up ruining our affairs? acid Considering how he manipulated a witch from the shadows, he could easily do it again.”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 95: Master and Slave published by TrungTu Reads.

“Wanting to kill him is only your personal desire.”

Ruri, who normally never interfered in human matters, said that.

“It’s disgusting. airport How can someone kill his family and destroy the person he loves like that?”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 95: Master and Slave published by TrungTu Reads.

“If you put it that way… I suppose so…”

He used his wife to kill his father and ultimately turned that same wife into his possession.

And for the Dragon Spawn, who valued family more than anyone else, that was unforgivable.

“Tilda Pascal did exactly the same thing. silence Even if she did not completely succeed, she tried to divide brothers, poison her sister-in-law, and turn her father-in-law into a vegetable. voyage If the fate of that villainess is to live trapped together with that man, doesn’t that seem appropriate to you?”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 95: Master and Slave published by TrungTu Reads.

Those actions still disgusted her, but at the same time she felt that both of them had received an appropriate punishment.

In the end, she decided to stop thinking about them.

Even Ruri’s furious voice began to soften.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 95: Master and Slave published by TrungTu Reads.

Perda silently watched the place where Henri had departed.

‘What a waste.’

After all, they would never cross paths with them again.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 95: Master and Slave published by TrungTu Reads.

Even Perda had failed to understand his true intentions, so if Henri had possessed ambition for business, he undoubtedly would have surpassed even the Pascal Guild and led the Dandolo Guild into its golden age.

He truly was an intelligent man.

And yet Henri acted as though he did not even need that ability.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 95: Master and Slave published by TrungTu Reads.

The last expression Henri showed Perda looked like that of a man who had abandoned an immense fortune, yet was still happier than anyone else.

He did not know whether that feeling was discomfort or envy.

For now, he had no way of knowing.

That expression remained in Perda’s mind like a lingering echo.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 95: Master and Slave published by TrungTu Reads.

He seemed surprised that everything had been resolved in secret, but he did not dwell on it too much.

“So the matter regarding my sister has finally ended?”

Pascal Guild Headquarters

Stephan ended the magical transmission and felt that a strange emotional residue still remained.

“Understood. aluminum I’ll inform my brother and also explain the entire situation to my father so we can conclude this matter.”

After all, the problem that had been disturbing his mind had finally come to an end, and that alone was enough for him.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 95: Master and Slave published by TrungTu Reads.

It was admiration toward Perda.

It had been an unexpected gain.

If the situation had become any more complicated, Stephan had originally planned to completely destroy that company.

‘I never imagined he would end up obtaining the Dandolo Guild.’

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 95: Master and Slave published by TrungTu Reads.

‘Now it’s time to clean up the mess.’

Now he could feel how miserable his decision to abandon everything only a few days ago had been.

‘The Regent truly is an extraordinary person.’

He had never imagined they would absorb it entirely.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 95: Master and Slave published by TrungTu Reads.

Merchit was different.

Since it had been something prepared between the two of them, they could simply end it once everything was over.

A sigh escaped Stephan’s mouth automatically.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 95: Master and Slave published by TrungTu Reads.

“Director. shadow The chairman…”

Herman, who knew none of the truth, had genuinely tried to restrain Stephan.

But Herman was not.

And Stephan had also been forced to respond with complete seriousness.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 95: Master and Slave published by TrungTu Reads.

He wanted to run away.

The secretary could not finish the sentence.

That alone was enough to imagine how furious Herman was.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 95: Master and Slave published by TrungTu Reads.

Soon after, four enormous bodyguards large enough to get stuck in the doorway and a thin old man entered the office.

His instincts screamed that at him, but Stephan merely nodded calmly.

“Why are you still here?”

Those giants were already intimidating enough, but it was the sharp eyes gleaming between the old man’s wrinkles that truly pierced into the deepest parts of Stephan.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 95: Master and Slave published by TrungTu Reads.

“What exactly is over?”

“Everything is over.”

It was a direct question.

Why had he not resigned yet?

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 95: Master and Slave published by TrungTu Reads.

And that she had even planned to kill Herman throughout the entire process.

Stephan explained absolutely everything.

That Tilda had attempted to pit Stephan and Merchit against each other using her own husband’s company.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 95: Master and Slave published by TrungTu Reads.

Even so, he could not read Herman’s intentions.

The parts that could sound exaggerated, he deliberately toned down to make them more believable.

His expression was as impenetrable as a sword forged in a dwarven smithy beneath a deep mountain.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 95: Master and Slave published by TrungTu Reads.

“What question…?”

“So something like that happened.”

“That’s correct.”

“Even so, you still haven’t answered my question.”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 95: Master and Slave published by TrungTu Reads.

It did not seem like the reaction of someone who had just heard such a story.

Stephan answered.

“I asked why you are still here.”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 95: Master and Slave published by TrungTu Reads.

“Because I am the director of the Pascal Guild.”

“You still insist that my judgment was a mistake?”

“I am the chairman. zenith Removing you from your position is not difficult. agent I expected you to resign on your own, yet you did not.”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 95: Master and Slave published by TrungTu Reads.

The Grand Duchess’s territory would fall into ruin.

“Valdrova’s territory will prosper.”

Stephan answered defiantly.

“Of course. sphere If I am convinced of something, why would I retract it?”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 95: Master and Slave published by TrungTu Reads.

“It will not prosper.”

“You seem curious about the reason. aspect Fine, I’ll answer you personally.”

Herman replied immediately.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 95: Master and Slave published by TrungTu Reads.

Herman opened his eyes like a tiger and spoke.

“I also have ears. amber But he saved many people in Hallim.”

“I’ve heard rumors that this man called Perda uses black magic.”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 95: Master and Slave published by TrungTu Reads.

“Being treated like a hero only lasts for a moment. portal What matters is not who he saved, but the fact that he uses black magic. abstract What will you do when people start saying that the Pascal Guild is supporting someone obsessed with black magic?”

“And when you decide to withdraw after continuing to support Regent Perda, it will already be too late. acid Do you plan to throw all the people who depend on the guild out onto the streets?”

“That…”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 95: Master and Slave published by TrungTu Reads.

Stephan could not answer.

Herman continued pressuring him.

“And you are also investing in that technology called magitechnology. album What will you do if that man named Vernell dies?”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 95: Master and Slave published by TrungTu Reads.

Even though Perda initially spoke as if he did not need Stephan, when things became difficult he helped him both materially and emotionally.

“Then all that investment will disappear and we will gain nothing. advance And tell me, do you truly believe that Vernell could never change his mind? apron And what about Perda, his master?”

“They would never abandon me.”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 95: Master and Slave published by TrungTu Reads.

“Do you know why cities are never built in the Far East?”

But to Herman, those words inspired no confidence.

That was why Stephan could say it with certainty.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 95: Master and Slave published by TrungTu Reads.

“Because the territory keeps shrinking.”

“……”

“Exactly. echo Because there is no hope. agent Humans could not stop it, and not even the immortals managed it. adapt Do you think you will only understand reality after being corrupted by demonic energy in a region so close to it?”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 95: Master and Slave published by TrungTu Reads.

“……”

“Even if that young Regent has charisma and ambition, all politics ultimately end up controlled by old men. canvas Do you know what old men really are?”

Herman’s voice hardened.

“Fine. admire Let us suppose it prospers. anxiety And what exactly do you think we will gain from that prosperity? galaxy Money? alien Prestige? absorb Connections? shadow No. legend The Empire will inspect every corner of our lives trying to contain us. athlete Do you know why? anxiety Because we are a guild from the imperial capital. autumn It will look as though the capital’s power is flowing there.”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 95: Master and Slave published by TrungTu Reads.

Stephan could not answer.

Herman’s words were filled with wisdom accumulated through the years, and that wisdom carried logic.

“People who may no longer have the strength to stand, yet still cling trembling to their bowl of food. amateur It is easy to go from a humble life to luxury, but impossible to return to sacrifice after becoming accustomed to comfort. echo Power works the same way. album Those old men send the young to the battlefield to protect their own interests and squeeze them dry. antique Do you truly believe insignificant people like us can withstand something like that?”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 95: Master and Slave published by TrungTu Reads.

Herman rose from his seat.

The risks Stephan would have to bear were enormous.

“Abandon the Far East. album Or abandon this company. arch That is my decision.”

Seen from a broader perspective, Herman was not wrong.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 95: Master and Slave published by TrungTu Reads.

Herman widened his eyes and asked again.

“You are exactly the same as those old men.”

“What… did you say?”

Just as he was about to leave, Stephan spoke.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 95: Master and Slave published by TrungTu Reads.

“Are you also incapable of accepting something new and only insist on your own will?”

But there was only determination in Stephan’s eyes.

It sounded like something spoken impulsively.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 95: Master and Slave published by TrungTu Reads.

“Are you calling me a stubborn old man?”

Stephan admitted it briefly and clearly.

“Yes.”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 95: Master and Slave published by TrungTu Reads.

“I do have the right.”

“Ingrate. antenna What right do you have to say such things?”

Herman exploded in fury.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 95: Master and Slave published by TrungTu Reads.

They were emotions and convictions accumulated over a very long time.

“For the past three years, this company has been run by me. atomic The steady growth and stability were my achievements. palette If you were the one who planted the seed of this company, I was the one who cultivated it. absorb A man does not become a farmer simply because he planted a seed. afford So that can no longer be considered solely your achievement. artist That is why I have the right to raise my voice.”

“Right? antique You?”

The words began pouring out of Stephan as though something blocking his throat had finally broken.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 95: Master and Slave published by TrungTu Reads.

“While you remained shut away like an isolated old man, watching us with your arms crossed and placing swords in your sons’ hands to watch us fight, I devoted absolutely everything to this company without ever looking away.”

“Yes!”

Emotion caused his voice to rise higher and higher.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 95: Master and Slave published by TrungTu Reads.

“Didn’t I tell you before? adopt When you asked me what kind of person Regent Perda was, I answered this someone capable of giving up everything.”

And Stephan continued pouring out everything he had kept inside.

Herman silently watched Stephan.

“……”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 95: Master and Slave published by TrungTu Reads.

Even though Perda once tried to reject him cruelly, he was equally merciful.

“And that was not a mistake. acid I said it sincerely. timber Do you know why? agent Because even if I handed this company over to him, I am convinced he could obtain far more than what you built.”

“It doesn’t matter. adapt When I was in trouble, he called the attacks against the Grand Duchess’s territory sabotage and personally responded himself. acquire He did not speak about the Pascal Guild, he spoke about the Grand Duchess’s territory. altitude He accepted me as part of that place and helped me.”

“No matter how much you try to convince me, to me you only sound like someone consumed by his emotions.”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 95: Master and Slave published by TrungTu Reads.

Everything depended solely on how he himself chose to act.

“So let me say this clearly.”

And at that moment, Stephan understood something.

He was making an irreversible decision.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 95: Master and Slave published by TrungTu Reads.

“Then you will have to fight me prepared to completely sever all ties between us!”

“I have no intention of abandoning this position. advance I run this company, and I will take responsibility for my decisions. aspect So if you intend to interfere with them…”

Bang!
