I Got Caught Hunting Powerful Monsters in Secret Even Though I’m Just a Commoner, Which Led to Beautiful Girls From Noble and Royal Families to Come After Me - 31

Chapter 31: The Slave Kills the Noble

ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー

Harry and Alan talked for a while.

“Well, thanks for the information. I’ll be seeing you again~”

“Just make sure you won’t mess up next time.”

“….”

“What’s wrong?’

“No, I’m just wondering if you know who that incredibly strong boy that blocked my attack at the party.”

“I don’t know who that trash is. Besides, that worm is not strong. You’re the one who’s weak, right?”

“Ahahaha! You tell me!! Just you wait and see! I will definitely kill that boy next time!”

After they finished talking, Alan quietly left the Percy family’s residence. Harry was watching Alan’s disappearing figure with a smirk on his face when someone approached Harry from behind. 

“Harry, everything’s alright?”

“Father… Worry not. Things are going smoothly.”

Harry turned around to smile at his father. However, Henry still had a listless expression on his face just like usual.

“I don’t trust those guys from Genesis. In the end, they’re just a bunch of filthy commoners and slaves.”

“Father.”

“Hm?”

“I never trust those guys from Genesis either.”

“….Then why are you still associating yourself with that Alan guy? I think it’s better if you don’t get too deeply involved with them.”

Henry questioned and Harry narrowed his eyes, seemingly looking down on his father as he answered in a condescending tone. 

“Father, after we destroy the royal family, we just need to join forces with the remaining nobles and crush Genesis. It’s that simple.”

Harry scoffed before he started laughing scornfully, showing his father how confident he was with his plan. 

“Oh! I knew it! Harry, you’re really smart! Ah…. I’m so glad you’re my son. But when the time comes for us to join hands with other nobles, maybe it’s better if we don’t bring the Fibel family along? Oh, wait. We can just pin the blame on them instead! That sounds better.”

Harry felt elated upon hearing his father praising him. Harry’s expression turned bright.

“What a wonderful idea, father.”

Alan Side, in a Sugarcane Field Near the Percy Family’s Residence.

Alan was walking near the sugarcane field managed by the Percy Company.

“Hmm~ When should I destroy the Percy family? I’m still keeping them around for now because they’re still around but… Hm~ Maybe I should ask the boss about it~♫”

While humming a tune, Alan gazed at the towering sugarcane plants. 

“Nowadays, there’s not much slaves willing to become undead~ Percy Company always treat their people roughly so people are bound to escape from them~ If I wait here long enough, I bound to find some escapees~ Well, one day, I will liberate all of us~ Commoners, slaves, everyone will be free!~ Everyone, hang in there for a little while, okay?~”

Alan said as he walked for a while and.. 

“Ah…. Ahnn…”

He could hear the sound of someone groaning.

“Hm?”

Alan shifted his attention toward the direction of the voice. There, a small boy emerged from among the sugarcane plants. 

The boy’s clothes were in tatters. His skin was bruised and blistered from whip marks littering his body. Some of the wounds were festering and oozing with pus. The boy was limping and one of his legs was swollen, possibly broken bone. 

The boy was in a horrible state and it seemed getting out of the sugarcane field had already taken all of his energy since the boy collapsed onto the ground without a sound. 

However, a raging fury dwelled within the boy’s expression.

“Oh~ I wonder if I also had that kind of expression on my face when I met the boss….”

Alan stared at the injured boy in wonder and immediately approached him. He bent down and spoke to the boy. 

“My oh my~ What’s the reason behind your suffering? You look like you’re in great pain. Come on, tell me about it. Perhaps, your wish might come true if you do~”

“Aah… Haa…”

Still lying down on the ground, the injured boy glared into Alan’s eyes. 

“I…. I couldn’t work right… So…. They beat me… Onee-chan… The site supervisor who’s a noble and other important people… They were very cruel to her… They abused her and… She died… I wanted to protect Onee-chan but… I’m weak so… I was whipped and beaten… I thought I was going to die so… I ran away…”

After the boy finished his story, he started shedding tears of blood. Alan embraced the fallen boy in his arms and whispered gently. 

“Good job. You told me your story loud and clear. To put it simply, what you need is power, right?”

“…Yeah.”

“Alright. I will give you power. A power strong enough to defeat those noble who hurt you.”

Alan took out a small black crystal from his pocket and showed the crystal to the boy who was still shedding tears of blood. 

“Look into this crystal and say,’I swear to become a faithful servant to Persephone-sama of Genesis.’ Then, you need to accept all the power from this crystal without resisting.”

Alan, who usually behaved like a lunatic, now acted like a loving, caring father caring for his baby.

And then the young boy…

“I swear to become a faithful servant to Persephone-sama of Genesis.”

Almost immediately, black mist and light appeared from the crystal, enveloping the boy’s body.

Several minutes passed and the black mist and light gradually dissipated, revealing the figure of the boy. However, the boy’s body had changed. The wounds from the whipping and the swelling on his leg had all been healed. Even his thinned hair had grown into its lustrous shade. 

At first glance, the boy looked like a healthy young boy. However, the boy was emitting a different aura, something entirely different from that of a human. While the appearance of the boy mostly remained unchanged, anyone who came close to the boy would notice something different. 

They would realize that this boy was not human. 

And then…

“Ah! There you are! You filthy trash! Oi! Slave Number 1200! Get over here! Now!!”

A low-rank noble wielding a whip shouted angrily the moment he saw the boy (Number 1200). 

However, the boy (Number 1200) wasn’t even the least fazed. The low-rank noble cracked his whip and shouted again. 

“Oi! Number 1200!! Are you ignoring me?! How dare you! You’re just a slave! You are worth less than an animal!”

Alan glanced at the low-rank noble before he returned his attention to Number 1200.

“Who is that guy?”

“…He’s the site supervisor. He’s the guy that has abused me and Onee-chan the most.”

“Hoo… So, he’s the person you resent the most?”

“Yeah.”

“Alright. Go greet him then.”

At Alan’s instruction, Number 1200 walked toward the low-rank noble. Then, the low-rank noble…

“You idiot! I’ve been feeding you and giving you a place to stay even though you’re dumber than a mere dog! And what did you do?! You ran away! If you run away, I’m the one who will get in trouble with the higher-ups!!! Arghhh! I knew it! You’re better off as my punching bag!!”

The low-rank noble tried to kick Number 1200 in the stomach but then…

“Ah.”

The hand of Number 1200 pierced through the stomach of the low-rank noble instead. The hand was glowing in black light, the same shade of black that emerged from the crystal. 

Seeing the blood dripping from the body of the low-rank noble, Number 1200’s lips curled up into a smile so wide that his lips seemed about to get torn. 

“Heh… Haha…. AHAHAHAHAHA!!”

Laughing, Number 1200 grabbed the low-rank noble by the stomach, lifted him up and slammed him onto the ground. 

“Ugh-!”

The low-rank noble gazed at Number 1200, the confusion was evident on his face. Then, he started trembling out of fear. 

Alan burst out laughing as he witnessed the scene unfolding before him. 

“Ahahhahahaha! Up until now, you’ve been abusing and tormenting the slaves but look at you now! You got done! Your situation right now… It’s so hilarious…! Absolutely hilarious!!!”

Alan laughed out loud. 

He turned his attention to Number 1200 and said…

“Young boy, how are you feeling now?”

Number 1200 looked down at the low-rank noble and without any hesitation, the boy stomped on the low-rank noble’s bleeding part, right on the gaping hole where the boy’s hand had pierced it through.

“ARGHHHHH!!”

The low-rank noble screamed in pain but Number 1200 wasn’t even the least concerned. He turned to Alan. 

“This is fun.”

“Ahahahah!!! I know, right?! Nobles do all kinds of fun stuff like this everyday, you know? It’s unfair, isn’t it?~ I mean, they should’ve shared some of this fun with us! We need to have fun too!!”

“That’s right. I want to have fun too. Since this guy did horrible things to Onee-chan, I’m going to make him go through something even more horrible.”

Number 1200 returned his attention back to the low-rank noble. He grabbed the low-rank noble by his stomach and lifted him up. 

“Ah!! Wa-Wait! Please, I was wrong!! I was wrong!! That’s why, please! Let me go!!”

The low-rank noble begged desperately but Number 1200 only tilted his head to the side, confused. 

“Huh?”

The low-rank noble assumed an expression of servility, trying to make himself appear humble before the young boy. 

“Number 1200, you know how much I care for you, right? I feed you every day and I even allow you to sleep in the stable on cold nights. Look. There aren’t many people as kind as me. That’s why, let go of your hand and let’s talk it out, okay? I’m sure we’ll be able to come to an agreement. We will be able to understand each other’s good and bad points.”

Number 1200 hesitated for a moment but… Alan shouted again. 

“Talk it out? There’s now way you guys can talk it out! There’s only one answer! Just how the nobles have ruled the commoners and slaves, the slaves and commoners will also rule over the nobles with power! We dominate them by force! That’s the ideology we’ve upheld! Now! Rule over that guy! Show him your overwhelming power!”

Upon hearing Alan’s words, Number 1200 tightened his grup on the low-rank noble’s stomach with even more force than before. 

“ARGHH!! YO-YOU…!!”

 As the last ditch attempt at saving himself, the low-rank noble tried to take out his wand from his pocket but then, his hand was severed by black light radiating from Number 1200’s fist. 

“ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!”

The low-rank noble screamed in pain. Number 1200 then was about to slam the low-rank noble onto the ground with all his might and…

“I LOVE ABUSING AND KILLING SLAVES!! I LOVE DOING LEWD THINGS WITH PRETTY SLAVE GIRLS!! AHAHAHAHAHAHAH! I AM A NOBLE! YOU THINK SLAVE LIKE YOU CAN RULE OVER THE NOBLE?! DON’T MAKE ME LAUGH! THESE KIND OF FUNS ARE RESERVED ONLY FOR NOBLE-“

Number 1200 slammed the low-rank onto the ground and…

The noble died. 

Number 1200 laughed. He walked back to Alan, still laughing heartily. 

“Young boy.”

“Hm?”

“Let’s go to the headquarters of Genesis. Boss Persephone-sama will welcome you for sure. She’s very beautiful and caring, like a big sister you can count on.”

“Okay. Thank you.”

The two of them then started walking together. 

“It’s only going to get more and more interesting from now on~ We’re going to start killing the nobles for real after his~”
