Chapter 136: Knowing his targets
Matt tended to show up doing exercises every morning, and the nobles who lived around here today decided to come out to greet him.
So, as he walked past in front of a huge mansion, two high-ranking people, not too old, came out.
"Young sir, are you bored much in the city?" they asked, smiling.
Matt stopped and greeted them, "Greetings, Seniors. That's right. It's not very common for me to be in such a lonely city, so I clear my mind in the mornings by exercising."
"My name is Carl Wright; sorry for the late introduction, seniors." Matt replied.
His words and the bearing of his greeting surprised them. They didn't expect that in a young man like this. They tend to be more arrogant and look down on everyone.
'Although he is wearing sports clothes, he still has the elegance imbued in his bones. He is a true nobleman.' They thought.
Still, they soon frowned.
"Wright? Could you be one of the Wrights of the Blacksmith Kingdom?" one of them asked, and Matt nodded to him.
"That's right. You may not know my father, but you'll probably know my aunt. Leonie Wright, apparently her husband is well known around these parts." Matt replied, and they were surprised.
A twinkle crossed their eyes.
The Wrights!
One of the wealthiest families in the Blacksmith Kingdom.
You have to know that the Blacksmith Kingdom is an artificial kingdom. To live there, you have to pay immense amounts of money, and if you want to be rich there, it is so complex that even a Marquis here might not be rich there.
Moreover, Leonie is the daughter of the current family leader and the wife of the king's brother in this place.
'This boy... No wonder he has such elegance.' They thought and smiled.
'Wow, I didn't expect that. I personally met Lord Ericson and Lady Leonie a while ago. They are very high-class people. No wonder you are so well-educated, young man. How about coming in to play golf with us? Just for fun,' Said one of them.
Then Matt smiled on the inside.
'Lovers of money, games, and good wine. Two of them are already confirmed; let's see how they do with the good wine.' Matt thought and smiled at them.
"Do you think I can play? Honestly, I've been feeling a little lonely in the city. My uncle's house is big, but the guards don't want to play with me, and my uncles are busy most of the day; it's so boring." He said, and they both laughed.
"Hahaha, it's okay, young man. We think and feel the same, so come on, let's play for a while."
After saying this, the three of them went inside to play.
Like every house in this place, it was enormous and had good facilities, although this place was more active than the other two mansions he had entered before.
As they played, these two nobles had a few women by their side, so it can be said that they liked the party life and hanging around with women.
'Despite their age and power, they seem to indulge their desires a lot.' Matt thought, and so the day passed.
The next day, he exercised in the morning, and after changing his clothes, he went in to play with these guys.
Three days went by like that.
A fourth day came, and Matt, this time, had invited them for wine as he found an excellent opportunity to do so.
So, he brought some excellent wine from Ericson Lewis' house.
Ericson and the others were in shock. During these days, Matt seemed to do nothing but play with these guys.
What the hell was he thinking? Still, there was nothing they could do. The General must have had his tricks.
During these days, Matt learned several things about these guys.
The first thing is that, although they are high-level nobles and have individual vampiric power of between 15,000 and 18,000, they are not that powerful, and they have greatly neglected their training. There is a chance that if Matt uses one of his most powerful ice tactics, he could assassinate them if he manages to get them drunk before.
Their families had high status thanks to their parents, but they only had a good title of nobility, a lot of money from an inheritance, and some individual power.
So, although they were older, they were not at all mature or capable.
Still, those kinds of nobles were the perfect ones.
They were the best to deal with.
That day...
"Hahaha, Young Lord Wright, I really didn't expect you to have such a good wine." Said one of them as he took a glass of the wine Matt had brought.
Today's wine was a high-end one that he took from Ericson Lewis, making Ericson almost bleed from the pain.
It seemed to be a very high-end wine.
Matt nodded towards them, "Money tends to get everything; I just have a lot of money and good connections." He replied.
A lie so big it almost made his skin crawl with shame.
The wine in his hands could cost as much as his current wealth.
What does he mean, a lot of money?
Still, the two nobles in front of him believed it.
Because they are idiots and were a little drunk.
"God, this wine is so delicious, but it's strong. Are you okay with it, Young Sir?" the other asked, and Matt smiled at him.
"I'm sure I can get you guys drunk before I go down. I'm confident about this, haha." He replied as he drank all the wine in his glass in one go.
This stunned the other two, but Matt continued to act normal.
"Awesome, even though it's not that strong. You're so good with wine," they said, and Matt smiled.
'Naturally, when this goes into my body, it freezes and disappears. How could I drink poisoned wine? I'm not an idiot.' he thought, though he did not express it.
So an hour passed until the time was right, and the two nobles beside him fell back on the couch.
'Look how idiotic these guys are.' He thought as he looked at them.
The night before, he had made a very high-quality poison, which had a very special name.
'The Five Questions Poison is as effective as I remember it.' He thought, smiling slightly.
Then he touched them, "Guys, are you awake?" he asked, and they opened their eyes and nodded, though no words came out of their mouths.
Then Matt smiled.
'It's time to get started; if anything goes wrong, I'll be in tremendous pain, but there's nothing I can do.' He said to himself.
"I've always had a few doubts in my head, Guys. But you who belong to that fine organization, what is it called?" he asked suddenly.
