Bad Born Blood Chapter 233

233
Let me focus my thoughts on Paolo Quan.

Paolo Kwan is Jaffa’s ex-husband. You can think of them as a common-law relationship. And Paolo Kwan’s daughter is Anguise Regina.

‘Anguis Regina, who was psychologically controlled by Kinuan, killed her father, Paolo Quan, with her own hands.’

That is the source of Anguise Regina’s intense trauma and distortion.

‘But Jafar protects and cares for Anguis Regina like his own daughter. He erased her past of being a serial killer and made her the idol of Border City.’

Angus Regina hates her stepmother, Tajirun Jafar. It’s only natural. During her teenage years when she longs for her biological mother, Tajirun, who isn’t even human, is living with her father.

‘Anguis Regina would have been a good prey to Kinuan, who was skilled at controlling the mind.’

Here the question arises.

‘Why did Kinuan kill Paolo Kwan?’

Kinuan is after Paolo Quan’s legacy, and even offers to trade Paolo Quan’s legacy for Giselle’s whereabouts.

‘Why did someone like Kinuan disappear without taking care of Paolo Kwan’s legacy?’

Kinuan is a man who even exploits the chaos of the empire. There is no way he could not achieve what he wants if he was pushed by Paolo Kwan or Jafar.

‘Or… … it means that Jafar is a Tajirun that is much better than I expected.’

My thoughts are spinning. Is Jafar capable enough to stand against Kinuan? If he had, he wouldn’t have been kicked out of the Menoa family. He could have gotten his revenge on his own.

‘Paolo Kwan’s legacy was needed too late. Jafar kept it hidden away.’

This was a reasonable inference, but honestly, I couldn’t accept it.

‘No matter how well Jafar hid it… … the Kinuan I know would have found it somehow. Kinuan knows Jafar well.’

Kinuan is a master of the Aquis Victima.

Archie’s Victima can’t deduce something from nothing, but Jafar was a person who was in Kinuan’s grasp. It wouldn’t be a problem to see into Jafar’s mind and steal the legacy.

‘Kinuan has enough information about Japha.’

Okay, let’s stop thinking for a moment. The rest of the thinking can be continued after seeing what Paolo Quan’s legacy is.

I blinked to try to unfocus my thoughts. But it wasn’t easy.

Click.

As I was walking down the hallway of the office building, I sat down on a bench and took out a thermos filled with tea.

‘Drink tea.’

This is a thought-stopping routine that follows Kinuan. The ingredients in tea help calm the mind, but only to a small degree. For Kinuan and me, it was important for the brain to recognize the symbolism of relaxation that tea has.

“It’s been a while, Luca.”

Anguise Regina was walking towards me around the corner.

I opened my eyes slightly and watched Anguise Regina’s movements. Her clothes were flashy and loose, and her steps were heavier than usual.

“Ah, our idol has arrived. Thanks to him, I was able to make your stepmother angry.”

I put my mouth to the thermos and sipped tea of ​​the right temperature.

“Don’t be a slacker. And I didn’t mean to make Jafar angry. It was something that was going to be discovered eventually anyway. You were the first one to get this far. It’s ironic, but… … Jafar has been looking for someone who will dig deep to find out the truth he doesn’t want anyone to know.”

It’s a contradiction, just as she said.

Jafar hates me digging up secrets from his past.

‘But I’ve been waiting for that kind of person all this time. Only someone who stubbornly clings to the behavior they hate while doing it over and over can find Kinuan.’

What Jafar was waiting for was not a gentle hunting dog. It was a wild dog that would bite the nape of the neck of the person who fed it if it got in trouble.

Jafar hates dogs that threaten him, but he needs such ferocious dogs for his purpose. It was a discrepancy between his emotions and purpose.

“Okay, fine. Why did you come to see me?”

“I also want to know about my father. About the man named Paolo Kwan. If you were me, you would extract information about my father from Jafar. You may have already extracted it. Or is that day today?”

Anguish Regina was a very sensitive and sensible woman. This means that her intuition was also excellent.

Anguise Regina was a very smart woman, even if she didn’t understand her own thought processes. If she were stupid, her life as a shining idol and her miserable, broken human side would not have coexisted.

“Isn’t that your father?”

“My memories of my father are always hazy and vague. It could be because of the shock of the incident. Jafar also doesn’t tell me what kind of person my father was. The person who knows my father’s true nature better is Jafar, not me.”

That was one of the reasons why Angus Regina leaked the information to me. She also wanted to see Paolo Quan’s legacy.

‘Paolo Quan is a more complex person than I thought.’

Kinuan is after Paolo Kwan’s legacy.

Jafar kept Paolo Kwan’s legacy a secret, and Angus Regina wanted to know about her father, Paolo Kwan.

It means that Paolo Quan was not a simple person. He was not a simple cook, nor a poor archaeologist.

“Let’s say I have information about Paolo Kwan. Jafar doesn’t want to tell you about Paolo Kwan. There’s no reason to tell you the information while making Jafar antagonistic.”

“It’s natural for children to want to know about their parents. It’s not right to hide it.”

“You’re talking about legitimacy when there’s no validity. Don’t you think it’s just a lame rant? You’re carrying a weapon between your clothes. A weapon like that is meaningless. Who are you trying to threaten? Me? Or Jafar?”

I know that Anguis Regina is armed. There is a pistol in her baggy sleeve, and I can see glimpses of her bulletproof underwear.

“… … I don’t know. I just feel like I need to prepare something.”

Anguis Regina’s pupils shook. She was a person with great intuition. She could not express it in words, but she was able to grasp the subtle flow of the Japa boss.

“Preparation is not about suddenly arming yourself one day. It is about building up every day to prepare for the disaster that will come one day. Whether it be violence, money, or whatever. Angus Regina, your specialty is not combat. Inciting the masses is your real weapon.”

Agitation is a more terrifying weapon than the clumsy violence of an individual. I know that very well.

People pretend to be interested in the truth, but they are not. Most people prefer false information that suits their taste. Inconvenient truths are uncomfortable.

“Is this advice?”

“I’m telling the truth. If you want to know about your father, give me something in return that will help me. For others, your fame and your lustful looks and words would be enough of a ‘price.’ But you know better than anyone that I am different.”

Anguise Regina opened her eyes slightly, then smiled. She stood before me with a relaxed attitude.

“Well… … you like men. Having a full chest but no shaft has never been more frustrating than now.”

The joke I made a while ago is coming back to me like this.

“Well, think whatever you want.”

Anguis Regina’s eyes sparkled like starlight.

“If you feel wronged, why don’t you prove yourself as a man in bed? Do you like to play the role of a woman in bed… …”

Hmm, this is quite provocative. The aggression that had been dormant is slowly rising.

“If someone else had said that, I would have just lost my cool. Your pretty face is your only advantage, so I’m leaving you a way to make a living.”

“Huh huh… … .”

Anguise Regina laughed. She blurted out a word as she walked away from me.

“… … I think I understand now. No matter how strong your reasoning is, you still didn’t fall for the pleasures of Border City and my temptations. That was for a different reason than Kinuan.”

“If you have something to say, say it clearly.”

“Your podium is for a very human reason. I envy the woman who is stuck in your heart, even though I don’t know who she is.”

A woman’s intuition is very sharp in this regard. If she keeps her mouth shut here, she’ll look embarrassed and taken aback.

“I guess she’s innocent.”

Damn, was that the best answer, Luca? What a waste of Archie’s Victory.

“I thought so. You don’t have much experience with women, do you? She’s probably your everything. She’s cute. You act like you’re all decadent and ready to do all the bad things, but you’re still innocent.”

I’m losing the initiative in the conversation. I’m weak in this area.

“It’s hard to crush the face, but I can crush the leg once more so that it can’t be used.”

“Ah, I’m scared.”

Anguish Regina pretended to be scared and quickly backed away.

Anguish Regina was walking away from me. She threw out her last words while carrying her luggage behind her back.

“… … But there’s no guarantee that she’ll feel the same way as you. Other people are always quick to betray expectations. If she does betray your heart, come to me. I like to embrace men who have been hurt and are weak.”

I let out a hollow laugh.

“Your dreams are wild. The Anguis Regina I know is a woman who is not only unstable but also on the verge of collapse. Am I weak enough to depend on you? I’d rather bite my tongue and die.”

“I want to see you weakened because you really mean it when you say those words.”

This is a bit chilling.

I’ve been thinking this for a long time… …Anguise Regina was both ma*ochistic and sadistic.

So… … that means Anguis Regina is a pervert. Well, this is something new to say.

* * *

As soon as I finished meeting with Anguis Regina, I headed to Jafar’s office.

Anguise Regina’s instincts were spot on. She, too, had quite an extraordinary intuition.

Today is the day to acknowledge Paolo Quan’s legacy.

There is no way to know the date and time that Anguish Regina takes out the inheritance. I just figured it out from the vague flow and atmosphere.

OMG.

The elevator doors opened. The hallway leading to Jafar’s office continued straight ahead.

And… …the scenery in the hallway was different than usual.

‘Equusian Mercenaries.’

Armed Equsians stood guard on either side, wearing fierce battle helmets. There were twenty of them in the hallway alone.

Creak, creak.

The optical lenses embedded in the Equusian’s battle helmet were constantly scanning me.

‘An observation full of hostility.’

Man, this is so fu*king funny.

I felt excited. Imagine these Equusians attacking me at the same time.

This is a serious crisis! How can I get through this? Is there a way?

The battle mentality kicked in on itself. The excitement wouldn’t stop, and the battle hormones were flowing out of the well inside me.

The colors of the world became vivid. I felt a strange taste in the back of my throat. It was because my sense of smell and taste had become more sensitive due to the excitement.

Squeak.

I went into Jafar’s office.

“Hoyooo! You’re here, Luca.”

Jafar stood with his back to the window. Next to him stood five high-ranking Equusian mercenaries, including En.

‘The Equusians are more heavily armed than usual, they act as if they are going to war.’

I walked out and sat back down on the sofa, my head constantly thinking about the ‘worst case scenario’.

Hmm, I feel like my nose is about to bleed.

It’s become a daily occurrence for me to have a nosebleed. I wiped it off by covering my nose with my hand beforehand.

Gulp.

As expected, blood burst out. I wiped away the flowing blood and smiled brightly.

“We’ve become quite close now, so I don’t think we need to have a long, formal speech. So, take out what you’ve prepared, Japa.”

“Oh, oh, oh. You are right. But let me say it again. Paolo’s legacy has nothing to do with the pursuit of Kinuan. I want you to go back now. From the moment you see these things… …you must become my fellow destinies. By the way, refusal is not possible.”

It was a clear threat.

I couldn’t resist the urge to squirm. Right now, my crazy hormones were taking over my mind and body.

“If it were a proposal from a female Tajirun, I would refuse.”

Jafar flicked his tongue and wiggled his fingers in a softer curve than usual.

“Well, Mr. Luca, your imagination is lacking. That’s included in the offer I just mentioned that you can’t refuse… … .”

I flinched. Jafar continued.

“… … I was just joking. I wanted to teach you that it’s no use teasing your elders.”

Hmm, I guess I shouldn’t nitpick on this topic next time.
