A Powerful Child Searches for Dad Episode 32

“We have to save them!”

Basto furrowed his brow at Tie’s words.

Right after Rudy had guided the nearly unconscious Marianne to the remaining guest room.

Only Basto, Nordics, Veil, and Tie remained in the dining hall.

“Save what, child. Don’t you see that?”

Veil pointed to the upper part of the wall.

There was a small window there.

Through the cloudy glass, they could see the pouring rain.

“I’ve never been on a boat, but I know this one thing for sure. Go out to sea on a day like this and you’ll die like a dog.”

“But brother. You should listen to what Tie has to say.”

Veil closed his mouth.

Tie spoke while counting on her fingers with a worried expression.

“We’re a fresh mercenary group with no money right now, and we’re not very famous yet. But…”

Tie looked around seriously once, then whispered to the three people.

“The magistrate is super rich.”

Silence fell.

As everyone froze with bewildered expressions, Tie hurriedly continued.

“Tie saw earlier that everything on the magistrate’s wrist is gold! Her earrings are gold too! Her necklace is gold too!”

“…”

“Also, she doesn’t have a single wrinkle on her face! That’s because she used money to smooth out her wrinkles. I learned that when I lived in Jongno-gu.”

Tie recalled the neighbors who used to lament their fate while watching TV.

‘Yeon Seo-ra, how does that woman never age!’

‘Oh my, of course she doesn’t age. How much care must she get every day.’

‘That’s right, if I could paint money on my face like that and smooth out all my wrinkles, I’d have no regrets!’

That’s when Tie learned.

That if you ‘paint money’ on your face, people don’t age.

That you can have fewer wrinkles than others and have firm skin.

Just like the magistrate!

“If we help her, she might become a magistrate who repays our kindness.”

Though she had been an ordinary preschooler in Korea, Tie was now a mercenary.

And the leader of the newly established ‘Agabelt’ at that.

Tie thought mercenaries were somehow similar to Korean celebrities or idols.

‘It’s the same how you make lots of money when you become famous.’

But the problem was how to become famous,

‘Bachelor from 101, how’s work going?’

‘…Not well. There aren’t as many people willing to invest as I thought.’

‘Haven’t you resolved that agency thing yet?’

‘We’re still trying to match opinions, but they keep putting weird clauses in the contract. From their perspective, I must be annoying.’

Was it singer-songwriter?

Singer-song… anyway, the brother from 101 who was something like that also struggled with that point.

He said he wanted to become famous, but strangely, you needed money first to become famous.

‘It’s not just money. Those damn school ties, regional ties, blood ties. I’m so sick of it I could die. Tie, when you grow up, make sure to establish connections with rich people or politicians first. You’ll thank this brother later, you know?’

Remembering the brother from 101 who used to say that, Tie continued.

“Let’s establish connections with the magistrate!”

“…Establish what?”

“Make connections! They said life is all about networking!”

“…”

“We can turn our lives around with networking!”

Actually, she could get money by asking her skeleton friends to bring her jewels.

But that involved stealing from other people’s graves, and there were limits.

‘Plus, if there are no graves around, they can’t bring anything.’

But becoming friends with rich people and receiving money under the guise of investment has no limits!

“When we visit Paladin Headquarters too, if we say we know the magistrate, they might let us in right away.”

There’s a reason why lines like ‘Do you know who I am!’ appear so often in movies and dramas.

Nordics’ mouth opened slightly as he listened to this story.

There wasn’t a single wrong point in Tie’s words.

His eyes shone calmly.

‘The magistrate’s husband was indeed a high-ranking official at the knight captain level.’

Not only that.

Marianne’s two missing sons had also once been part of the Paladins.

Though they had withdrawn now.

“You’re right, Tie.”

Basto and Veil turned their heads.

Nordics looked at the two and continued seriously.

“The Wavril Marquis Family is one of the top five wealthy families in Jedo. When the current marquis passes away, the one who will inherit all that wealth is Marianne Wavril, whom we just met.”

A slight gleam appeared in Veil’s eyes, who had seemed uninterested all along.

“Really?”

“Indeed. If we help find her son, it will benefit us in many ways later. It would be even better if we could conquer the Mastone that appeared in the sea.”

Tie nodded.

“That’s what Tie was saying too!”

“Also, establishing a personal connection with Marianne Wavril would be useful anywhere. It might also be advantageous for spreading Agabelt’s reputation more widely…”

But then Basto raised one hand.

“I understand what you’re saying. I also agree with the opinion to search for the magistrate’s two sons.”

“Is there some other concern?”

“The Mastone outside bothers me.”

Nordics’ eyes widened.

Basto hesitated before continuing.

“About conquering that Mastone… I’m honestly skeptical.”

“I feel the same way. I still have nightmares about nearly dying in the Tenebrium Dungeon last time.”

Veil also stepped forward.

Veil was shuddering as if just thinking about that incident was horrible.

“Besides, it’s not even on land, how do we kill sea monsters in the ocean? Especially with that storm raging outside, we’d be lucky if we could even stand properly…”

“Let’s not conquer the Grom Stone!”

Then Tie said brightly.

The three looked at Tie at her unexpected answer.

“We shouldn’t do dangerous things! Let’s just quickly save the magistrate’s son and persuade people to leave the village!”

Nordics made a hmm sound and touched his forehead.

“But would people who have their homes and boats here really agree to flee obediently…”

“They’ll die trying to protect their homes and boats, you know? If they die, they can’t take their homes, boats, or anything with them anyway!”

“That, that’s true.”

“Also, since we have the magistrate, if we ask her to speak to them very, very fiercely like a tiger, everyone will run away.”

Veil nodded.

He looked around at the members as if understanding and summarized.

“Then we’ll search for the consul’s sons until sunset at the latest? We’ll give up on the Mastone siege.”

“Good. Once we evacuate the residents, the Imperial Court will dispatch Paladins or something.”

Nordics nodded his head.

“Great! Let’s go!”

Soon after Tie’s cheerful shout, the four people left the restaurant.

And so, several dozen minutes later.

“Thank you, truly thank you…”

Marianne stood at the pier and repeated those words.

In that short time, her eyes had become red and bloodshot.

The crashing waves surged into the pier, soaking her ankles, but she didn’t care about getting wet.

“Since they haven’t returned to the Dominion Hall, they must still be at sea. According to the fishermen, when storms hit, the currents change and steering becomes difficult.”

So the boat that Raul and Enzo were on might have been swept away to some nearby coast or island.

“Please, please…”

Marianne couldn’t continue her words and squeezed her eyes shut.

She worried whether she was sending unrelated people into dangerous seas just to find her two sons.

“Don’t worry, Consul!”

But then that young voice was heard once again.

Looking down, she saw that little one from before, no, Agabelt’s Danzu looking up at her.

“Basto has sailed boats a lot! Ban-Anra Village is a coastal village, and Veil has good eyes so he can see everything far away!”

While she was searching for words to respond, the sailors nearby gathered around.

“That’s right, Consul. Don’t worry. There’s still some time until sunset, so we’ll do our best to find them!”

“Your sons will be safe!”

Marianne nodded, feeling somewhat reassured.

Soon a boat docked at the pier.

The promised crew members boarded the boat first.

Two boat owners from the Fishermen’s Association, five sailors, and Basto and Veil.

“Danzu. Then we’ll see you at the Governance Building in a little while.”

Just as Basto gave Tie a brief bow.

“Hey there, vermin. Where are you all rushing off to in such a hurry?”

A large boat docked next to them.
