I, Who Was Dismissed as Worthless Failure by my Family and Fiancée, Discovered I had Reincarnated as a Game Character I Raised with Great Care and Vowed to Take Control of my Life and Defy Anyone who Opposes Me. - Chapter 55: S-Rank Adventurer 

Chapter 55: S-Rank Adventurer 

It must have been quite an experience for him to realize that, as an aristocrat, he should possess the ability to discern whom he may confront and whom he may not. 

If his statement holds true, it has only been three days since he acquired his title, and therefore, it is unlikely that he would choose to quarrel with anyone other than myself. Thus, I hope he feels gratitude for learning this before making any hasty decisions.

“So, who else wants to get beaten up by me? It’s better if you all come at me since it won’t take long.”

After witnessing the noble being sent flying by me earlier, the group was intimidated even with their numbers.

While no one seemed to step up or attack, a man stepped forward, seemingly to break the stalemate. 

“Hey kid. I won’t say anything bad, so why don’t you just come quietly with us? That way, at least your family’s lives will be spared.”

Then, the man who came up to me announced in a slightly high-handed voice. But, to summarize his words, he meant, “If you surrender your life, your family won’t have to die.” Of course, that’s not something I can agree to.

“Ha, you want me to obediently come with you because it will save my family? Is that it?”

“That’s right. If you do, the Kvist family will still exist within the Empire. However, if you don’t comply here and now, your entire family will get killed, and you will undoubtedly get executed by His Majesty the Emperor. It’s your own doing. You have to deal with the consequences. I’m telling you not to drag your innocent family into this.”

Then the man in question started lecturing me as if he were someone important.

Unlike the nobleman from before, he seemed like someone I could still talk to, but his words were worthless. They were like trash, telling me to die alone for the sake of my family.

“By the way, what happens if I reject your proposal?”

“As an S-rank adventurer, I’ll just have to tear off your limbs and take you by force.”

When I asked him what would happen if I rejected his proposal, he showed off a golden plate on his chest and said he would take me by force, even if it meant tearing off my limbs.

“Hmm, an S-rank adventurer, huh? I can’t believe an adventurer like you would resort to mercenary work. The Empire’s adventurers have really fallen low. Although, with weaklings like you reaching S-rank, the Empire’s adventurer rank must have fallen to the ground a long time ago.”
