Due to the shock he received from the appearance of that Young Master Kim and the possible claims, he acted too hastily and did more damage than help to himself.
Thinking that he was losing his position and inheritance to a bastard in the family, he did what he did, and ended up with the results he did.
He would have never thought that the matters were like this in the beginning. Who would after all?
For the Grand Marshall to actually send his Right Hand in order to deal with the matter it was a clear sign of how deep this matter was.
He would have never thought that things would turn up like this. If he did, then he would have done his best to interact more with that bastard, and then use him in his plans.
But now, such a great opportunity had actually been spoiled and destroyed due to his hasty actions. Not only that, but he felt like he had suddenly given the Kim Family a huge bonus.
As long as that bastard Kim Family Head managed to think things through objectively a bit, he should understand that there was something wrong with this issue as well.
'Aaarrgghhhhhhh~!'
Feeling anger and rage inside he could do nothing else but try to release it to the outside, as he gave a swipe to the table in front of him, throwing everything to the wall, while screaming.
Immediately 4 guards and 2 secretaries appeared at the door of the office room, immediately asking in concern,
"Did something happen Master!?"
"I'm fine, get out!"
"Yes, Master!"
Even though they didn't understand what was going on, and why their Master acted like that, they still obeyed him without a second word.
Most people would think that Officer Kang would actually act like that due to the pain of losing his two brothers, but the truth was that for him that was the only good thing about the mess he had made.
From childhood, he had been forced in a passive stance, with his two brothers occupying all the resources and opportunities of the family.
That was also one of the biggest reasons why he was still an Officer despite all his achievements and those two bastards were made Colonels.
His father the Vice-Marshal Kang didn't step even once to look after him, or to seek a little bit of justice for him.
Whatever he had right now, was something that he had personally carved and dug with his own hands.
The only one to help him was that spirit artifact inside the ring that he had found when he was only 14 years old.
But even the spirit artifacts help didn't include outside influence as it had only taught him Arts and techniques that helped him enslave people and grow stronger.
So, everything was done by himself, through the anger and rage that he felt against his treatment, and the heinous thoughts he had about the future.
He was determined to show not only his brothers and his father, but everyone else in this world about what kind of person he was, and what he could achieve.
Now that his two brothers were dead, he could at least inherit the name and position in the name of the last remaining Kang.
That would give him a boost in his plans and what he was planning to do in the future. A platform to build his strength and forces even more, as he continued with his plans on other places.
The rogue and powerful Young Master he had created in the shadows was a force that even the Grand Marshal or the Kim family were having a headache dealing with.
He was just waiting for a few of his plans to actually succeed before revealing himself and his identity to the world, then he would become a power that could be content with those two.
Before revealing himself though, he would make sure to force the two big heads against each other, as he would be the fisherman that hunts both the clam and snipe down.
Thinking all the way to this, he finally managed to calm down a bit, as there was nothing he could do about the situation right now, he could only play it by the ear.
It was impossible to change anything now. No matter how much he regretted all this, no matter how many different ideas he could have, it was too late now.
He could only start thinking about the future in front of him, and his next move.
…
Not far away from him, in an extremely restricted area in the capital, a white-haired old man, but with the body of a bodybuilder was being served by many exquisite beauties.
The scene seemed to be coming out of one of those Greek mythology paintings with the god in the middle, and the beauties alongside him feeding him fruits and delicacies.
A long life was boring for any man if there was no goal and pleasure, surely reaching the peak was a great goal and purpose but for people that thought that they had reached that peak, it was useless after.
For people on Earth reaching a power level equal to the 9th level of the Great Boundary Ascension Realm was the peak one could reach, so there wasn't much meaning in growing stronger for him.
In order to feel the emptiness and boringness of the long and useless life, pleasure, women, and brawl were good fillers.
If there could be one goal that still remained in his mind and heart would be the unification and empowerment of his country.
Just like any other selfish man out there he wanted to leave his own history and legacy behind, to make the upcoming people look at him in admiration and even idolization.
While he was savoring the beauty of the moment, and the service he was having, someone knocked on the door to his chambers.
"Come in!"
With his strength and senses, it was easy for him to know who was behind the door, and the state that he was, as the door opened and Sir Right Hand entered inside.
The moment he set foot inside, he immediately banged his head to the floor, and said in a guilty tone,
"Grand Marshal please forgive me for my uselessness, and not accomplishing the mission! I am ready to receive whatever punishment you see fit!"
Even though he banged his head to the floor, a person on the Grand Marshall's level could understand that this was just a show.
The headbanging on the floor had more build-up, and noise to it, rather than substance. But this had become a common occurrence.
Since this guy had been by his side from the moment that he managed the revolution and came on top of the two countries, he certainly would allow him some slight benefits like this.
Many of the people that had helped him then and reached these new heights with him had started to have wilder ambitions of their own, and this guy didn't seem much different from them.
It could be seen like he had been unable to succeed in his mission because he didn't want to create a mess with the Kim family, but in fact, this had happened because he was having other thoughts.
Or at least the Grand Marshall thought like that. Once someone reaches the peak through treason and rebellion, then he couldn't help but think that the same might happen to him.
Especially when there is nothing else to do, the human mind starts getting even more dangerous providing all kinds of conspiracy theories, that would make the whole world an enemy.
"I gave you just one order Right Hand, I told you to bring my son back to me! Not only did he suffer in isolation there in one of the worst cells, but he was even taken back to the Kim family!
Tell me how should I punish you!?"
Even though the Grand Marshall's voice was calm and steady, the vibe the Right Hand perceived from it was nothing like that.
He felt like he was suddenly thrown into an ice-cold lake that he couldn't swim out of. He had no other choice but to stay there and suffer the iciness of the lake.
Differently from what the outside world could think about this case, the truth was that Young Master Kim wasn't the Grand Marshal's grandson, but his blood son.
Grand Marshall's history with the guy's mother wasn't some kind of great love story, as he had just forced her in his bed before she was married off to the Kim family.
At that time the Kim Family Head had made him angry and he had found that way to take revenge upon him, as it slowly developed in the situation that was today.
Even he himself hadn't expected that woman to get pregnant with his son, and he had a bit of a hard time believing it was his after the wedding, but it turn out to be true.
From that moment on he started helping him and giving him all kinds of opportunities while letting him live the life he wished to since he couldn't acclaim him publicly yet.
With all that happened, he had decided to take him on his side and help him, before taking care of the Kim family, and finally giving him the position it belonged to him.
His other sons and daughters had no idea about this, but since he was still alive and in charge of everything, he had full confidence in making them accept him in the family.
Unfortunately, his plan had been thrown off, not only that, but his son and the mother were even forced to enter a place that even he couldn't peer into, making him extremely angry…
