【Bloodline is a Thug Chapter 132】

132. The Invisible Gap (2)

【You have successfully dominated a powerful bloodline family!】
【The power of Bloodline Servant is greatly enhanced!】
【The influence of Bloodline Servant is greatly expanded!】
【Bloodline Servant assimilation rate 60% → 65%】
【Some special conditions for Manifestation are satisfied.】
As I successfully dominated Cosmina Blaga, familiar messages appeared before me.
【Some conditions for Manifestation are satisfied.】
【Pure Blood Domination: 5/10】
【Superior Servant Domination: 8/20】
【Ordinary Human Domination: 25/30】
“Still a long way to go.”
While I had steadily fulfilled the Manifestation conditions by moving around the Blaga Family, there was still much left to accomplish.
“Listen.”
Cosmina Blaga, who had been wearing a dazed expression, suddenly startled and looked toward me. I spoke to her.
“The fact that I possess Bloodline Servant is a secret. And tell the other elders that my mental strength was shaken as planned.”
“Ah, understood.”
Cosmina Blaga harbored no unnecessary doubts about my command. She simply obeyed.
“Then go.”
However, she did not immediately follow this order. As Cosmina Blaga hesitated, I had no choice but to ask again.
“What’s wrong?”
“Will you keep that child by your side, Master?”
Cosmina Blaga pointed to Takllient. I spoke casually.
“Take him with you. I’ll return the dominion rights to you later, so don’t worry.”
The reason I could command Takllient was because of the power I had just obtained.
【Usurp Heart’s Loyalty】
A power that seizes the master’s position in a master-servant relationship.
The excellence of Usurp Heart’s Loyalty was that it could seize not only servants under Bloodline Servant domination, but also entities like summoned creatures.
“Th-thank you.”
Cosmina Blaga expressed her gratitude, then left with Takllient.
As she departed, the Mansion fell silent.
The servants who had been watching me had briefly left their posts upon hearing that Cosmina Blaga was coming.
I sat on a bench in the Garden and began reviewing information about the other elders.
Though Simon would give me advance notice of who would visit next, it was better to prepare beforehand.
Just then, the front gate opened and Rabbit came running over.
“M-Master!”
Rabbit’s desperate cry was so urgent that even Kwon Han-ul was taken aback.
“What’s wrong?”
“Y-You need to escape quickly! Heukcheon has invaded the Blaga Family!”
I couldn’t help but be shocked. I had anticipated that Heukcheon would come to rescue me, but to arrive already?
“I’ll explain the details later! You need to evacuate immediately!”
At those words, Kwon Han-ul asked with an incredulous expression.
“Why should I run?”
“Well, that’s obviously…!”
Rabbit’s voice gradually trailed off. Even she found it strange upon reflection.
“You’re right… Master, you don’t need to escape.”
In fact, this worked out well. Now I didn’t have to bother devising a complicated plan to escape the Blaga Family.
Kwon Han-ul placed the information about the elders into his subspace and rose from the bench.
“Master? Where are you going?”
“I’m heading back.”
Kwon Han-ul expanded his senses. He felt the aura of the Black Dragon Bloodline from the west. He was about to head in that direction when—
Rabbit grabbed hold of Kwon Han-ul’s sleeve. Her eyes wavering, she looked up at him and asked.
“What about me… I mean, what about us?”
At first, I couldn’t understand what Rabbit was saying.
“You took us in, and now you’re just going to abandon us?”
Something resonated within my body. The Servant Bloodline reacted.
【The ‘Servant Bloodline’ demands a sense of responsibility.】
It was identical to when the Superhuman Bloodline had acted.
The Superhuman Bloodline opposed the act of killing fellow bloodkin. Because of that, Kwon Han-ul had been unable to kill the Sanchez Family’s bloodkin and could only send them away.
That same constraint existed within the Servant Bloodline.
“You seem to be misunderstanding something.”
Kwon Han-ul removed Rabbit’s hand from his sleeve.
Fortunately, the Servant Bloodline only expressed displeasure and didn’t exert coercive force like the Superhuman Bloodline.
“I was never a member of the Blaga Family to begin with.”
If anything, I was their enemy.
Kwon Han-ul had no intention of forgetting what Catalina Blaga had done.
“You don’t need to follow me anymore.”
Kwon Han-ul weakened the Servant Bloodline’s control ability. Rabbit’s eyes trembled even more intensely.
“Take care.”
It was as Kwon Han-ul turned to leave.
“Where do you think you’re going?”
A thick voice rang out. A man stood before the main gate.
“I stepped away for a moment since Cosmina Blaga was supposed to arrive… and it seems quite an absurd conversation has been taking place.”
Troy’s face began to contort slowly.
“Rabbit. I never thought you’d side with Kwon Han-ul. This is something I can never overlook. And Kwon Han-ul….”
Killing intent erupted from Troy’s entire body. A ferocious aura rippled through the air.
“You cannot go anywhere. It is the will of Catalina Blaga.”
“My will differs. I must leave this place.”
“I said that’s not allowed!”
Troy extended his hand toward Kwon Han-ul, intent on subduing him through force.
Then Kwon Han-ul spoke.
“Stop.”
Troy’s hand froze rigid in mid-air. Not just his hand—his entire body remained utterly motionless.
“My authority has grown considerably these past few days.”
Only then did Troy notice it: Kwon Han-ul’s eyes had turned a deep crimson.
“Even those who approach the threshold of a realm can be commanded without question if they are my thralls.”
Kwon Han-ul extended his palm and covered Troy’s face. He unleashed the authority of dominion.
【Successfully dominated a powerful thrall!】
【The authority of the Thrall Bloodline is greatly strengthened!】
【The influence of the Thrall Bloodline is greatly expanded!】
【Thrall Bloodline assimilation rate: 65% → 67%】
【Special conditions for Manifestation are partially satisfied.】
“Do not obstruct me. And forget everything you have witnessed here.”
Kwon Han-ul withdrew his hand and spoke. Troy nodded blankly in response.
Kwon Han-ul walked past Troy toward the main gate. Before crossing the threshold, he glanced back.
Rabbit stood there, her expression vacant and bewildered.
“Take care of yourself.”
With those final words, Kwon Han-ul vanished.

The moment I stepped out of the Mansion, explosions echoed from all directions.
Several buildings collapsed simultaneously before my eyes.
“What kind of unit is this, anyway?”
Even from this distance, I could feel how formidable they were.
“I wonder if Ha-yeon and the kids came too.”
It had only been a few days since I’d seen them, yet I felt a longing ache. I quickened my pace.
Suddenly, I stopped in front of a certain building.
“This is….”
It was the Ancient Castle where Catalina Blaga kept her collection.
Due to the chaos caused by Heukcheon, there were no guards visible protecting the Ancient Castle.
I hesitated.
It wasn’t the treasures inside the Ancient Castle that tempted me into this indecision.
Something within was calling to me—more precisely, calling to my Kwon Bloodline.
I rushed into the Ancient Castle. The security was surprisingly lax, so I reached the collection area quickly.
“Where am I….”
I paid no attention to the other artifacts. I searched only for the object calling to my Kwon Bloodline.
Then I discovered a door behind a curtain. I opened it and stepped inside.
A magnificent cloak hung in the small chamber.
“What is this?”
I touched the cloak. It wasn’t an ordinary garment—the fabric felt incredibly soft and smooth.
“Huh?”
Suddenly, the threads of the cloak began unraveling. The unraveled threads were absorbed into my skin.
【You have discovered the legacy left by the founder of the Blaga Family!】
【You inherit the traits and experiences of the founder!】
As the cloak was absorbed, incomprehensible knowledge flowed into my mind.
“Ugh.”
My head throbbed as if it would split. I wanted to stop the absorption, but I forced myself to endure.
【Your Kwon Bloodline is greatly strengthened!】
【You completely master the Manifestation of Illusions! The efficiency of all powers increases by 200%!】
【You inherit the profound insights left by the founder of the Blaga Family in his final years!】
“Ugh.”
I clutched my head. The pain was unbearable, as if I might vomit.
But it was worth it. Thanks to this, my Kwon Bloodline had become noticeably stronger.
“I need to escape quickly now.”
I left the small chamber. Then, something caught my attention.

【Amrita】
-Description
The elixir of immortality that the gods once drank. Regardless of current rank, it can elevate one stat to SS-grade or completely restore the body.

I had no interest in other items, but this was different.
If I had to name my greatest weakness at present, it would be my low stat values.
Thanks to my bloodlines, I could display strength several times greater than my current stats, but conversely, it meant that once my stats were properly developed, I would become far more formidable than I am now.
“I have to take this with me.”
I placed the obsidian water bottle containing Amrita into my subspace.
And it was just as I was leaving the Ancient Castle and entering the City Center.
“Where the hell is that bastard!”
A familiar figure suddenly rushed past me.
“Kwon Ji-seok?”
I reflexively grabbed him by the scruff of his neck.
“What kind of bastard is it this time….”
Kwon Ji-seok, having knocked my hand away, cried out in shock.
“You… What are you doing here?”
To his question, I responded with exasperation.
“That’s what I should be asking you.”

* * *

“I never expected you’d come to rescue me.”
I spoke with genuine sincerity.
Our relationship could hardly be called good. It was built entirely on ill will.
“Hey! This isn’t the time for that kind of talk!”
“Then what should I be saying? Ah, do you want to hear my gratitude?”
“Who came here to listen to that nonsense? Follow me quickly. We need to escape from here.”
I nodded in agreement.
“For once, you’re speaking sense. Since we’re in enemy territory, we can’t afford to be careless. Let’s rejoin the main force quickly.”
“No, that’s not… Ugh, this is driving me crazy.”
Kwon Ji-seok clenched his fists in frustration. At this point, my mood was souring as well.
But the moment I heard what Kwon Ji-seok said next, my thoughts changed entirely.
“Do you know who’s on this island right now? Kwon Chan-seong’s Black Flag Unit!”
An ominous premonition flashed through my mind.
“…Is it what I’m thinking?”
“Yes! My brother intends to kill you here!”
“Did the Chairman approve the Black Flag Unit’s participation?”
Something felt deeply wrong. Kwon Seon-woo’s intelligence network is considerable. He must have known the relationship between Kwon Hyuk and me wasn’t good, yet he let this happen?
Kwon Ji-seok let out a heavy sigh.
“Father plans to send my brother first and report to the Chairman afterward.”
“…Is that truly the case?”
“It’s true. I don’t know what method he used, but Father already knows the location of the Blaga Family… He’s using the excuse that he must rescue you quickly to send my brother out, and then by reporting to the Chairman afterward, he plans to have you eliminated.”
A chill ran down my spine. I could vividly feel that Kwon Hyuk genuinely intended to kill me.
“If your location gets exposed to my brother… or even if it doesn’t, if the Black Flag Unit members find out, you’re finished. You need to escape before that happens. Follow me.”
Kwon Ji-seok gestured, but Kwon Han-ul remained motionless.
“Why are you helping me?”
Because of the Kwon Bloodline, I could tell that Kwon Ji-seok harbored no malice.
But I couldn’t comprehend it. Kwon Ji-seok was Kwon Hyuk’s son, and Kwon Chan-seong’s brother.
So why would he take my side?
“What kind of pointless question is that?”
Kwon Ji-seok grumbled.
“We’re both part of Heukcheon, aren’t we?”
