How the bastard of the Return Sword Family
lives
Episode 235
Laurel Inspection (5)
-Wow, at this rate, Lord Soga, aren’t you really going to pass all nine dragons’ tests?
Little by little, rumors like this spread through the audience.
No matter how great Theo was, I wondered how he could overcome nine trials.
Haven’t you already passed the test of three people?
This is also against those who are said to be competing for the top spot in the Nine Dragons.
Of course, there were people who did not take that fact at face value.
-Hey, what good is a person being so naive?
-What does that mean?
-Can’t you tell just by looking at them? The first three people who came forward were people who had supported Sogaju for a long time.
-Then what you’re saying is… … !
-It won’t be easy from now on, right?
Of course, it was not without objections.
-You sat there talking like a f*cking dog.
-Wh, what?
-Are you saying that those people are just like your short-sighted self and will only take the Lord’s side? Make sense, really.
-What are you talking about!
-If you sit on your butt and talk nonsense, I’m telling you to go home and talk nonsense, you little punk.
Most people didn’t doubt Theo’s skills.
I had hopes that the remaining matches would eventually be overcome somehow.
But the moment the fourth person entered the arena, I thought it might be a little difficult.
A person who exudes boundless spirit.
Because it was the Dragon Dante Roll.

“I’m different from the three before me. Unlike the test, I only want one thing. A showdown with all my might. If you don’t beat me, I won’t come down easily.”
Pae-ryong twisted one corner of his lips.
The spirit soon engulfed the entire training ground and even affected the audience seats.
It would have been a very dangerous situation if executives had not quickly stepped in to stop it.
But even the executives had cold sweat on their faces.
Theo looked at him with a calm gaze and then licked his lips.
“Do you want to make a deal?”
“I see you like me. We communicate very well.”
A suggestion that could be made because it was known that Pae-ryong was actually sinister, unlike his pretense of being only interested in strength.
Simply put, Pae-ryong was protesting for greater benefits for himself.
Otherwise, it means that you won’t be able to take the test easily.
If you do that, you might break yourself and tarnish your reputation as a small business owner.
The problem was that it was a strategy that was completely possible with the other nine dragons, but not with the Great Dragon.
First of all, he only walks the path of destruction so that it becomes known to the outside world.
There was no harm in beating the cowherd, as there was a perception that he would sometimes be beaten by the cowherd if necessary.
So, Theo couldn’t help but feel worried for a moment.
Are you just going to give it to me and go at ease?
or not…….
‘I don’t think it would be a bad idea to step on it once.’
In fact, Theo did not like Paeryong’s attitude.
It used to be a strategic alliance where there was something to give and take, but isn’t that not the case anymore?
Theo has also laid all the groundwork.
The thought suddenly occurred to me that maybe I should break Pae-ryong’s attitude of thinking that the position of the cowherd was in his own hands.
Otherwise, it will try to climb up on top of your head and eat you later.
‘Let me just ask you what you think.’
“What do you need?”
Did he sense that Theo’s voice had grown cold?
The dragon’s two eyes also calmly settled down.
“There’s just one thing I need.”
“no way-“
“The throne.”
“Are you saying that the support we’ve given you so far isn’t enough?”
Pae-ryong traveled around the world under the pretext of fighting the strong and chasing down the hidden Holy Demon Cult.
And Theo gave some of the vast wealth he had amassed in the city of Perrington to support Paeryong.
This was the reason why there were rumors going around recently that a new faction had formed in the Yellow Sea and that the dragons were running wild.
With Theo’s support on his back, Pae-ryong is recruiting several nobles.
The War Wolf Faction.
That’s what they call them.
It was known that he mainly sought to actively strengthen the imperial power and weaken the power of local electors.
“Money is always better, especially in a season like this. Don’t you know that the emperor is living day to day without a successor? That’s why the eunuchs are gaining power so much.”
There was no way Theo was unaware of the central politics that were becoming more and more chaotic by the day.
“The eunuchs are trying their best to keep their power, but it will be difficult to prevent death. Are we going to see a fight between the Electors over the throne? And how much weight will Ragnar have in that?”

Not only had they established absolute power in the North by defeating Troyban, they had also opened up a trade network that reached deep into the Empire.
No matter how much of an 18th Count he is, he cannot help but keep an eye on Ragnar.
“And that superiority will be further revealed in this battle against the previous heads of the clans.”
A stage for small-scale power wars where numerous electors become entangled with their own forces.
Paeryeong had no doubt that Ragnar would be victorious there too.
“I intend to reveal my identity right there.”
「!!」
“Someone your age would know what I’m trying to say, right?”
In such a crucible of chaos, Pae-ryong will be very active.
And when all the spotlight is on him, he wants to tell the world that he is royalty.
At this time, I want you to announce that you support Ragnar.
If Ragnar cannot do it, Theo, the future Ragnar, declare that you support me.
“All you have to do is say a word. Just like you’ve invested in me all this time, if you just pay lip service, you can hold the legend of defeating the dragon in your hands.”
“Is there really a need to make a separate announcement? Since you are one of Ragnar’s nine dragons, everyone should know that Ragnar is behind you.”
“Yes. I get it. Everyone will be watching. But declarations and guesses are different. In politics, you can’t help but notice the difference in weight, right? Or-“
Suddenly, Paeryong’s laughter stopped.
“Were you planning on pushing that little girl you were carrying around?”
「… … .」
“Why? Are you surprised? Did you think I didn’t know that?”
Paeryong snorted.
“I guess you’re thinking of using that child to control me, but I don’t have the taste to share delicious cakes in the first place. If that’s a child-“
“Oh, I can’t listen to that.”
Paeryong’s words were cut off midway through his speech.
Theo’s voice suddenly popped out.
Everyone’s eyes were focused this way.
The other nine dragons and officers also opened their eyes wide.
In this situation, which they thought was a standoff, they realized that there was actually a backroom negotiation going on that they were unaware of.
Paeryong also opened his eyes wide, looking quite embarrassed.
“You, what is this-“
“I guess you forgot.”
But Theo once again cut off Paeryeong’s words with his voice.
“Your topic.”
“!!”
“Remember, your subject. You are Ragnar’s dog.”
dog.
Paeryong’s face turned red from the endless humiliation.
“…you-“
“First of all, we need to change that title.”
Kwaaaaang!
Theo followed the dragon, stomping hard on the ground.
Paeryong’s expression hardened.
“Good. Let’s see if you can get away with humiliating me!”
The dragon’s strong fist flew towards Theo’s head.
It was a truly lightning strike.
Theo avoided it by tilting his head slightly to the side.
Phew!
Kwaaaaang-
The space shattered as the fist struck where the head had been.
Waves spread along the crack and blew in all directions.
-Gyaaaah!
-This is crazy! You’re giving it your all in a place with so many people!?
The executives were shocked as they barely managed to deflect the shockwave.
No matter how much the Paeryeong has a reckless personality, isn’t it crazy to take out the <Paeryeong Kwon Geukgeom> in a place that isn’t even a battlefield?
Paeryong was a martial artist who did not use any weapons and fought only with his fists.
However, the reason he was classified as an inspector was because his auras all had the characteristic of being sharp like blades.
The superior cutting power of the hand knife and the power of the blunt weapon had already made his body itself into a sword.
Is that why?
The ground was hit hard with a flurry of punches, and dark sword marks remained on the wall of the audience seats.
But Theo didn’t even blink an eye, and instead, he closed the gap even closer and brought his blade against Drake’s.
Kwaaaaang!
Paeryong opened his remaining left palm and held it out forward.
As the sword and spear collided, shockwaves spread out in all directions again.
“You dare to attack me with force?”
Paeryong let out a roar with his eyes filled with blood.
Kkwadduk!
Drake’s blade was being pushed upward.
Here, even Theo couldn’t help but be surprised.
This was because he had never thought that he would be able to overcome his own strength, which had a coefficient of over 200.
“I’ll break that arrogance first-”
“You are the arrogant one.”
But Theo just let go of the greatsword he was holding.
Then he clenched his fists and started swinging his fists like a storm.
It was a boxing match that appeared to be a melee fight with no apparent form.
But the mystery contained within was by no means small.
-That, that!
-You’re saying that Ragnar’s swordsmanship can be translated into fist fighting?
A thousand won.
He uses the secret he learned from his fight with the Plum Princess just a moment ago, using his fists instead of his sword.
That’s why executives are even more surprised.
The problem was that all the sword techniques that Theo had learned, including <Dragon’s Claw>, were being used in a haphazard manner based on that thousand won.
In the part where the law is developed, <The Clown’s Trick> is included, in the part where the body is twisted, <Pilgrim’s Progress> is included, and in the sharp destructive power, <The Sword Ghost of the Sky Rain> is included, and various other tricks are displayed.
This is something that is absolutely impossible to do without a deep understanding of the sword.
It was a possible trick because Theo had gained various enlightenment including inspiration from the Gwangryongje.
Because of that, even though it may look like a mess at first glance, those who know the depth of the sword cannot help but be surprised!
Pavababak!
Kwakwakwakwang-
With each blow, the sound of an explosion followed as it struck the dragon’s body.
Paeryeong tried to block Theo’s attacks by emitting aura from his entire body, but there was a limit to that.
Eventually, the accumulated damage completely destroyed the aura shield.
Kwaaaaang!
Theo’s fist and the dragon’s fist collided as the aura was shattered into pieces, and soon the dragon’s body was lifted more than 5 centimeters into the air.
“!!!”
In terms of technique and brute force, Theo was now absolutely unrivaled.
Theo sharpened his elbow like an awl. His elbow, which had rotated according to the logic of the warrior’s sword, struck the dragon’s chin, causing it to be thrown backwards.
Kukookung-
The dragon rolled around on the ground violently and then crashed into the wall.
Woof woof!
Pieces of broken wall covered the dragon.
“Hoo-”
Theo straightened his posture with a light exhalation.
Just then, Drake’s blade, which he had thrown upward, was sucked into his grasp.
The gaze of the dragon that had collapsed on the floor outside the court was now lower than that of Theo.
“I think we’re finally on the same level now.”
Theo then spoke coldly to him.
