28 Baron Garn 2/2

Sky reaps the wind, wings of a beast flap above the mountain high.

'The system is not responding as it used to.'

Young master Gaun thought as he was looking at the system screen.

Ding!

[ Charge: .01. ]

[ La? No life and death situation so better court death, Lah. ]

This is what the system is saying whenever he asks a question.

Young master Gaun, his wife Leanne, the Baron, his uncle, and the floor masters were flying in a gigantic beast, summoned by the Baron himself.

A summoned creature of his very own grandfather.

"So your gift will make you stronger whenever you are hurt?"

The Baron asked calmly. 

The others and the floor masters were silent as they already knew about young master Gaun's newly awakened gift.

Young master Gaun's forehead was bulging when he heard the old man's voice. 

Earlier he was afraid of this old man because his arrogant young master impulse was affecting him multiple times but now he isn't.

"Errhhmmm..."

Young master Gaun cleared his throat.

However, he stopped his mouth from speaking, deciding not to argue or tell anything about himself.

'That arrogant young master impulse is pissing me off.'

Young master Gaun thought in his heart while cursing the system in his head.

Earlier, when he was in the powerful state of his Miracle ability, the vixen, or his current wife, Leanne told the Baron why he is arrogant.

She stated that the young master Gaun's ability is making him stronger by turning into Zoan form whenever he is hurt but his personality would become worse. 

Their observation is that he would become extremely prideful because he would become even ugly.

Young master Gaun wanted to spit some blood, but the others told them that he would become handsome too.

Even the Baron said that he is so handsome that makes him proud.

It nearly choked the throat of the majority of the floor masters.

However, young master Gaun quickly denies it, telling them that it's not just that, he is also capable of healing with pride.

The only problem is that the Baron found a high-level healing potion in his pocket from the original host that young master Gaun replaced.

Making the statement of Leanne, the truth.

"You don't need to tell us."

The Baron finished.

'It was so obvious.'

The Baron thought while acting like he knew everything.

Seeing him, young master Gaun's blood vessel almost exploded.

'I'm telling the truth, why is it that no one believes you when you are telling the truth!?'

Compared to the feeling when he was scared earlier with arrogant young master impulse, he is now completely pissed.

'Fuck! Next time, even if I'm affected by that cursed fate impulse, I won't tell anyone anything about how strong I am!'

'I will mock them all amid a battle if they try to challenge this young master!'

Young master Gaun felt like there was no benefit in suppressing all the arrogant young master impulses that is built within him.

However, he knew it was a useless force to tell them the truth.

All of a sudden, young master Gaun raised his middle finger to the old man.

"!!!"

The eyes of everyone widened. 

The others gazed at him with questioning lights in their eyes.

It caught everyone's attention but they don't know what it means.

"Huh!?"

The Baron felt a condescending aura towards him hidden from young master Gaun's smirk.

All of a sudden, everyone froze as the world felt like it came to a halt.

The Baron was releasing outstanding pressure from his magical fluctuation.

"What is the meaning of that!? You dare raise your finger at me!?"

Ding!

[ Charge: .001 ]

[ The user is still in a not life-threatening situation. ]

Seeing the notification on his forehead, young master Gaun didn't know if he should laugh or cry.

'What's the use of that notification? What charge?'

Noticing that his willful grandson is not paying attention.

The baron didn't know if he should feel impressed or disrespected by his behavior.

"Hmm?"

Young master Gaun was awakened by the pressure. 

He noticed that it was the old man.

He almost forgot, even though he didn't mean to, he somehow felt the joy of seeking death.

It's like freedom.

Young master Gaun was also enraged earlier when the arrogant young master's impulse towards this old man was so strong.

He became so scared as the Baron was higher in status, making young master Gaun hate the curse more.

The miracle ability cooled down and he is not strongly affected now.

Still, he wanted to wake the system.

Plus, somehow, he wanted to offend the old man despite having only one extra life.

"Do not fret old man, this middle finger is a sign of respect towards you."

"You discovered my power despite being an incompetent Baron of this territory."

"However, no need to worry, once you give the title Baron to me, I will make this territory prosper even though you messed it all up..."

Almost everyone who heard him felt like their jaws dropped. 

The Baron is a truly noble, a title holder. 

Ridiculing and telling him that he would become the next one to sit in his position in front of him is inappropriate.

Even if they were connected in blood.

"Husband."

Leanne blurted. 

Her face looks so worried. 

Right now, a Baron who reached 20th order knights is not something they could offend. 

What her husband said is disrespectful and dangerous in this situation.

Her husband sounds like he is humiliating and ridiculing his very own grandfather.

Hearing this, young master Gaun turned his eyes to his vixen wife.

'This vixen, is she afraid of this old man?'

'Maybe she is, but my goal is to seek death to awaken my system so...'

'Who gives a shit!?'

Young master Gaun gave a hearty smile as he thought of something important to this vixen.

'If I would discover what she wanted from me by making her drag me into this, isn't it better?'

Young master Gaun extended his hands and gestured to his wife, Leanne.

"I also have a beautiful, talented, and gorgeous wife!"

"What do we I have-"

"I mean-"

"What do I have to worry about in the future?"

"So old man, I know you will pass it down on me."

"Because I know how to make the status of our territory reach a level not limited from being a Baroness territory."

Leanne was dumbfounded upon hearing those words, however, her heart fluttered as he praised her lovingly with confidence.

Her eyes twinkled like little stars.

'Right!'

'I can help my husband!'

'I can even make him an emperor with no scruples!'

Leanne clenched her fist and nodded to young master Gaun.

"Yes, the husband is right."

The only issue is that the atmosphere of everyone still hasn't changed.

"Oh, and how are you going to do that?"

The Baron asked with a serious face.

Young master Gaun's face fell, however, he became even more excited.

"I will find more dungeons for our territory!"

Young master Gaun didn't have enough places but he had an idea about who this guy was in this world. 

This guy he replaced is a noble with the potential to become a high noble.

First, what is a noble?

Nobles were born from noble bloodlines. 

These were the landowners, knights, and people related to and under the King, either through blood or royal service. 

Most of the nobles were warriors.

However, high nobles are like Baron, Marquis, Count, Duke, Grand Duke, King, Emperor, etc.

Young master Gaun's goal first was to become a high noble.

Who wouldn't want it?

Since he possessed a noble, why not aim to become a high noble?

In this world, it doesn't mean when someone is strong like a high-class knight or magician becomes noble.

One must get a lot of access to dungeons.

"You-"

The uncle was speechless, the audacity of his nephew to his father.

He didn't know what to feel, the punch earlier made him think that his nephew is in a new light.

However, this is too much.

Even his brothers wouldn't talk like this in front of their grandfather.

The uncle thought was cut off when the Baron spoke.

"You think it's just like that? You think it's easy to find dungeons?"

The Baron asked with a calm tone. 

The Baron never really interacted with this child or his grandson.

He admired the boldness of his nephew but he didn't know if his grandson was a fool or someone who was asking to die.

Hearing the old man, young master Gaun smiled.

'The arrogant young master's impulse is not affecting me so much as long as my miracle ability is not activated.'

'I can provoke this old monster and maybe I'll awaken this system of mine that became silent.'

"Of course, it's easy."

Young master Gaun spoke. 

Finding the dungeon was not a problem, he is a person who read the whole novel for years and even repeated it two times albeit he can't remember everything.

However, he answered arrogantly for a lot of reasons. 

To prove himself that he is not affected by the arrogant young master's impulses anymore.

To awaken the system that became suddenly dormant.

Ultimately, to gain courting death points on his grandfather himself.

However, he forgot something at his side.

'I have to help him.'

Leanne thought and opened her mouth again.

"Forgive me for speaking, my Lord."

She interrupted, which made young master Gaun dumbfounded for a little while.

Leanne saw young master Gaun's expression and nodded to herself.

'Don't worry, this time...'

'I will be useful to you and this is for the things I've done to you.'

'I never meant to hurt you and I swear that I will do my best to never hurt you again, my love.'

She thought in her heart and continued.

"Husband did not train and is still in the beginning order or order because we studied a lot of dungeons in this territory."

"We concluded that there are more than five dungeons unexplored and completely dangerous if we let it."

"And yes, my Lord..."

"We knew where those dungeons were by investigating the Leyhart territory."
