Chapter 63. What Kind of Young Master Are You? (1)

 

“Hey! Ruins Wayne!”

 

Charlie appeared at the warehouse where Ruin was, shouting at the top of his lungs. He was so angry that the veins in his neck looked ready to burst.

 

“You damn bastard! Did you throw me to those fucking demons and run away?!”

 

At that outburst, Ruin turned his head. Without even batting an eyelash,

 

“Ah.”

 

He nodded calmly.

 

“You were alive?”

 

“…”

 

That dog-like bastard!

 

Sorry? Guilt? He didn’t have even a hair’s worth of such feelings.

 

“I survived, you crazy bastard!”

 

Ruin had only taken the student and abandoned Charlie to the demons before running away. Yes. In other words, he had used him as ‘bait.’

 

That’s why Ruin, who had sent the crying student back to Haven and gone to catch Sansa, sighed.

 

“Well, I thought someone of your skill level could handle those small fry.”

 

“…!”

 

“Still, thanks.”

 

“Wh-what for?”

 

Charlie, who had been angry, asked back in confusion.

 

Then Ruin smiled slightly.

 

“For coming back alive.”

 

Charlie, who had been angry, flinched.

 

“…!”

 

Even Charlie was flustered by the sudden words.

 

That Ruins Wayne was saying such things?

 

However.

 

“Since you came back alive, you can write the recommendation letter again.”

 

“Hey you…!”

 

Is the recommendation letter the problem right now?!

 

Charlie raised his arm then slumped down. He wanted to throw a punch, but his instincts told him that if he hit this guy, he might die.

 

Moreover.

 

‘Small fry? Did he just say small fry?’

 

The demons there had been intermediate-level demons. Normally, just having such creatures gathered in the Union would be an emergency situation!

 

‘This bastard, just what kind of people is he involved with…!’

 

It didn’t matter anymore.

 

It was true that he had harbored ill feelings toward Ruins Wayne, but even that had cooled considerably after seeing Ruins Wayne’s Frix. Ruin, with ‘Self-Serving Obsession’ activated, had even carefully wiped down his Brain-killing Bombardment Frix, saying dust had gotten on it.

 

So what glory would there be in seriously defeating such a shut-in?

 

So he asked.

 

“Do you have money to fix your Frix?”

 

Ruin frowned as if displeased.

 

“Are you looking down on my Wayne Family right now?”

 

“You used loan sharks not long ago because you had no money!”

 

“…”

 

?

 

…Loan sharks?

 

…Loan sharks?

 

…What is he talking about?

 

* * *

 

“Thank you! For saving the student!”

 

Mrs. Elliott from the nursing department was extremely grateful to Ruin.

 

“If it weren’t for you, Professor, the children would surely have fallen victim to the demons.”

 

The nearby dormitory supervisors watching this scene had indescribable expressions. Strangely sulky, uncomfortable, and irritated faces. They were displeased by the fact that Ruins Wayne had achieved merit once again.

 

Of course, on one side, Princess Judith was blushing and taking out some wrapped gift with doll-like stiff movements, but such things were no longer important to Ruin.

 

Because—

 

‘Loan sharks…?’

 

Loan sharks?

 

His head was spinning. He couldn’t hear anything else.

 

Ruin, who had immediately returned to his research lab, contacted the Wayne House after much deliberation.

 

—…After three years of no contact, what you’re asking about is… financial matters.

 

From beyond the receiver, the Butler’s heavy sigh could be heard. His voice subtly carried the nuance of ‘Is there such an unfilial son…?’

 

But Ruin paid no heed and added. More precisely, he was hurrying because he was afraid of being caught as a fake Ruins.

 

“Send me the materials. As quickly as possible.”

 

The butler just listened silently and then hung up.

 

And a day later, a luxurious envelope stamped with the Wayne family crest arrived for Ruin. Ruin sat at his research lab desk and carefully opened the envelope.

 

“Next is… hm?”

 

Ruin tilted his head at the letter’s contents. The letter’s contents were a bit strange. That is to say, to be precise, as soon as he opened the letter, a character with a bright expression popped out and…

 

-Mr. Ruins Wayne has one week left on his debt repayment deadline.

 

-If not repaid within the deadline, the kidneys you put up as collateral will be used for repayment instead.

 

…What the hell? What kind of nonsense is this?

 

Ruin asked.

 

“Teaching Assistant.”

 

“Yes?”

 

“Did I take out a loan?”

 

The teaching assistant was flustered.

 

“If, if you took it out Professor, then you must have taken it out?”

 

“What kind of place is this company called Sandler?”

 

“What?! That place is completely vicious! If you can’t pay back debts, they even harvest organs!”

 

Ruin felt a chill down his spine.

 

Come to think of it, didn’t Charlie say something like that.

 

“I heard it all from our side’s financial company! The Wayne Family took out private loans under your name!”

 

…Was that actually true?!

 

Ruin was flustered. No, I investigated almost everything about Ruins, what else is coming out? More than that, a body forfeiture agreement?

 

‘Has this crazy bastard really lost his mind!’

 

Ginseng Superior held his belly and laughed.

 

「So you’re getting dismantled in a week? 」

 

No!

 

When Ruin panicked, Lily became restless.

 

“Is the amount perhaps too large? Should I help you even if it’s just me?”

 

“No. A teaching assistant’s salary wouldn’t even come close.”

 

It’s an amount that wouldn’t be covered by 10 years of a professor’s salary.

 

No, more than that, if a teaching assistant is worrying about a professor, just how vicious is this company?

 

Then, Lily said restlessly.

 

“Th, there was one more letter that came for you today, Professor. Have you checked it?”

 

She was suggesting he check just in case.

 

Ruin quickly tore open the last letter that had arrived. Lily sighed at the contents that were revealed.

 

“An, advertisement…”

 

Even a spam advertisement promoting embarrassing male enhancement products.

 

“…I’ll go throw it away.”

 

“No. No need to throw it away.”

 

Ruin stared intently at the advertisement. Lily was shocked at this sight.

 

‘Gasp, surely the Professor isn’t…!’

 

However, Ruin was serious.

 

This wasn’t an advertisement. On the back of the advertisement, it showed faintly. Encrypted letters. It was the superior’s special communication code.

 

When he decoded it, the real content came out.

 

-To the penniless butterfly.

 

At this rate, the Demon Emperor heart recovery operation might fail. Handle the ‘debt’ matter first, quickly.

 

You’re late! And couldn’t Nox handle this kind of thing!

 

That’s when it happened.

 

“Long time no see, Ruins! Haven is really nice!”

 

“!”

 

An unpleasant voice came through, cutting through the Senior Professor’s Office door.

 

Ruin looked at the two men and women who entered the room without hesitation. His brow furrowed.

 

‘Who are they?’

 

He was momentarily puzzled, but the memory came back in 1.34 seconds.

 

‘Ruins Wayne’s cousins.’

 

The Wayne Family cousins. That is, distant relatives from the main house side. They were smiling on the surface, but they were all so shallow that their black insides could be seen right through.

 

“Who would have thought you’d get a job as a professor at the famous Haven.”

 

“That’s right. You must have enough money to give us now?”

 

Ruin finally understood exactly the purpose of their visit.

 

‘They came to extort money.’

 

So Ruin let out a hollow laugh.

 

“What do you mean by money?”

 

“What are you talking about, kid! How much did we support you while you were getting employed, did you forget it all?”

 

“That’s right! After your parents died, how much did we take care of you!”

 

「Did they?」

 

‘No. Rather, they were the ones who extorted Ruins’ money all this time for their living expenses, travel costs, and even lying about family being sick.’

 

For quite a long time at that.

 

‘They even took out private loans under my name.’

 

The male cousin added smugly.

 

“Unlike your ungrateful younger siblings, you’re a kid who understands family love, Ruins. Right, Ruins?”

 

Ruin nodded inwardly.

 

‘Now I understand why Ruins Wayne had a bad relationship with his siblings too.’

 

In short, Ruins Wayne, who inherited the fortune after his parents died, was being taken advantage of. His siblings must have gotten sick of such a Ruins.

 

That’s why Ruin stood up from his seat.

 

“First, I’m cutting off the support payments of unknown reason that were being given to you two.”

 

“Wh-what?!”

 

The male and female cousins raised their voices simultaneously.

 

“H-how! That’s our living expenses-”

 

“Ruins, you specified it yourself! You said ‘please take care of us’!”

 

Ruin’s expression still didn’t change one bit.

 

“From this very moment, I’m canceling everything.”

 

“…What?”

 

“And all the money you’ve taken so far will be considered unjust enrichment. I don’t see why I should be responsible for your family’s household expenses, study abroad costs, and even entertainment expenses.”

 

“…!”

 

“Especially since I know you’re illegally occupying and residing in real estate owned by the Wayne Family.”

 

“Illegal occupation…! I-I’m your cousin-”

 

“Make your excuses to my lawyers.”

 

The faces of the male and female cousins turned deathly pale.

 

Only then did they realize it. This bastard was no longer the sickly pushover of the past.

 

Ruin organized his documents and added.

 

“And-”

 

Cold golden eyes pierced through the cousins.

 

“Just in case, let me tell you. From this moment forward, if you borrow money using my name or mention my name, it’s immediate legal action.”

 

“…!”

 

“If you understand, get lost.”

 

Thud.

 

Only the sound of putting down documents echoed in the office. It was a heavy signal that something had completely ended.

 

Then the cousins bit their lips with ashen faces. It seems they gained some confidence from getting employed at Haven, but not a chance.

 

“I heard on the way here!”

 

Someone said while twisting their lips.

 

“You can’t get rid of that temper and you’re bullying students, right?”

 

“…What?”

 

Bullying students?

 

Me?

 

Ruin’s eyes became genuinely pissed off. When I’m teaching students so kindly and gently, what nonsense about bullying them?

 

“You were even cruel to a Count family’s daughter, right? The Chaser family.”

 

“We heard it all in the parent waiting room? You made the Count’s daughter cry and even made her clean a dirty pond?”

 

Sure enough, they giggled.

 

“Since you touched that high and mighty Count family, especially the daughter of the most successful Hunt family, you’ll probably get fired soon.”

 

“Being a professor is kind of a service job when you think about it, right?”

 

“Right. Haven can’t be that special either, can it?”

 

The cousins’ mockery was close to certainty. In Union society, the status of nobility meant immunity privileges, and when the children of such nobles said they were ‘displeased,’ professors had to kneel first.

 

That’s right. In short, professors were a profession that couldn’t say anything in front of nobles even if they were right – that was the reality they knew.

 

“If noble parents complain, you’ll have to pack your bags too.”

 

“Haven is ultimately a political arena too. How long can you last there?”

 

“Oh poor Ruins. Should we hurry and go meet them?”

 

“They seemed really angry even now.”

 

Ruin pressed his brow.

 

From debts to parent complaints, things have become quite troublesome.

 

* * *

 

Yes, that’s what happened.

 

“It’s all because of my worthless child! I’m sorry!”

 

The meeting room rang loudly. It was so loud that the tea in the teacup shook.

 

“Since she’s my only daughter, I spoiled her too much, and she has no manners…! I’m sorry!”

 

A resounding lion’s roar echoed through the air once again.

 

Meanwhile, Anna, who was forced to bow with her head pressed down, tried to escape from her father’s grip with a face full of dissatisfaction.

 

“N-no, Dad…! You said our family was the best…!”

 

Right. The best! Except for the Wayne Family!

 

“No, Dad…! This professor made me do manual labor-”

 

“You be quiet!”

 

“No way, he even threw our family crest into the pond-”

 

“You couldn’t even catch a single shadow properly, and you’re proud of dragging your friends into disrespecting the professor!”

 

“Tch!”

 

Well, he was probably trembling before the Wayne Family name, but Ruin found it interesting.

 

“Once more! I apologize on behalf of my child’s rudeness! If there’s anything else I don’t know about, please tell me anything!”

 

Well, there’s nothing, so I’d appreciate it if you just went home. I’m having a headache over debt problems… Hm?

 

Suddenly, a gleam appeared in Ruin’s eyes.

 

‘Wait. Isn’t the Hunt Family a massive weapons dealer that supplies weapons to the Hero Corps and Imperial Army?’

 

In other words, one of the wealthiest families on the continent…

 

Wealthy?

 

‘Then couldn’t I ask them to pay off my debt?’
