Chapter 175
âTulsky Tokarev of the Old Republic Spyâ.
On paper, this weapon is far from the destructive power and firepower of my current Tommy or shotgun, but it has advantages that offset those disadvantages.
âSilentâ, which fires bullets without sound, and âSpy Onlyâ, which is undetectable.â
In a world where the development of subspace artifacts has made it possible to detect objects in subspace, this was one of the most powerful abilities available.
Among other thingsâŠâŠ.
âThe shotgun and Tommy were a bit much to carry around.â
Both guns were quite bulky and heavy to carry around.
In terms of convenience, they were definitely lacking.
However, for the time being, this gives me the freedom to carry a firearm and still have mobility.
The lack of damage wasnât a big deal to me, as it was solved with the âŠâŠtalent Gunpowder and Explosions and a little more aura.
There was one oddity, however.
The artifact is described as having been used by someone famous around the world, but it doesnât say who.
However, if youâre familiar with the CS universe, itâs not too hard to guess who it is.
Former Soviet spy Katya Calvey, who has appeared in several popular media outlets.
It was the only legendary spy mentioned in CS.
Of course, his actions in real life and his actions in the CS universe were completely different.
âEugene?â
I stared at the gun for a while and didnât speak so my father, who was sitting in front of me, called my name in a worried voice.
âOh, Iâm sorry. This is more than I deserve. You traveled all the way to Russia to get such a valuable item?â
The corner of my fatherâs mouth twitches up subtly as I put the box back on, trying to calm my excitement at the prospect of a new weapon.
âMore like, we got into a little trouble getting it. Though, as you can see, it worked out well in the end. Now, letâs talk about your other gift, shall we?â
I canât help but feel a twinge of anticipation as my father smiles at the thought of another gift after the pistol he so lovingly gave me.
âThereâs a big party in The Hague next week. Itâs a sort of social gathering of important people from all over the world, and I was wondering if youâd like to come with me.â
Huh?
âA socialâŠâŠparty?â
âYes. A social party. The Korean Peninsula is still the only place youâve made your debut. Now that youâre officially the heir, and youâre learning more and more, I think it would be a good idea for you to show your face to some of your fatherâs acquaintances.â
Iâm sure the others will be pleased.
A social party? Great. New connections could come in handy later.
The Hague? Thatâs good too. I hadnât been out of the country since I arrived in this world, so it was a bit of an unknown for me but the social party in The Hague was a little different.
âDad, does that social party have a name?â
âA name? Yes, it had a name. Iâm pretty sure it was âWalpurgis Nightâ.â
âAh.â
I was right.
Walpurgis Night itâs a sort of big event held in random places in Europe once a year.
My dad talks about it very casually, like itâs no big deal, but from what I remember, itâs definitelyâŠâŠ.
It was a social gathering of underworld moguls from all over the world.

[Sticking with the villain concept?]
[by 19 year old Parasite]
[Iâve gotten a lot of power and recognition, but for some reason I feel like the others are discriminating against me. If I donât do something, Iâm called a mongrel but if I do something, Iâm called an amateur, and I donât want to lose anything, but most of them are just as strong or stronger than me, so I canât do anything. What do I need to do to be recognized by them?]
[Corn Blackbeard Tea: Yeah~ Grow your notoriety more~]
[Backworld Blackbeard: Come on brat, the diapers are in that corner~]
[19-year-old Parasite: These fuckers donât give the right answers, they just make fun of me ??]
[â : Did you get an invitation to Walpurgis night?]
[â19-year-old Parasite : ? What is that?]
[âA : Thereâs an invitation that flies out once a year when you reach a certain level of fame or notoriety. You have to join it if you want to become one of the top dogs.]
[âCorn Blackbeard Tea : You have to be recognized to join, but can a kid who doesnât even know about Walpurgis join? lol]
âWalpurgis Nightâ had a special meaning in the community.
It meant that my character was world-class and literally a household name.
Does that mean theyâre just notorious?
Not really, because itâs not just about notoriety, itâs also about style and image.
In fact, there was even a guy in the community who tried to nuke himself to get into Walpurgis Night, but all he got was countless handshake requests from the Villain Society and the Villains of Niflheim, not Walpurgis Night.
And now Iâve been asked to join the elite, hard-to-reach group only in my first year.
âReally, can I go?â
âOf course. Who would dare say no to my son, let alone anyone elseâs, and as far as Iâm concerned, youâre more than qualified, so donât worry too much.â
If Eugene Han Corleoneâs father had been a common villain or the head of a modest organization, I would have dismissed this as nonsense but who was my father?
The head of a massive underworld organization that controlled most of the underworld worldwide.
Don Vito Corleone, head of the Corleone family and the Emperor of the Underworld.
For my father to say this, it was as if it had already been decided.
âI am deeply apprehensive about going to such a prestigious event, but I will certainly participate as a son who wonât shame his father.â freew(e)bnovel.com
âHaha, yes. Since you say so, I believe you, too. Well, go in and get a good nightâs rest. Itâs fun to talk with you, butâŠâŠ Jiyun also needs some time with her father after a long time.â
As if the official part of the conversation was already over, his voice changed to one filled with affection and I couldnât help but smile at that.
âYes, thatâs right, because Jiyun wanted to see you so much, too.â
Alessia told me that the number one question the maids have been asked by Jiyun lately is, âWhen is dad coming home?â so itâs clear how much sheâs been missing him.
If she saw him now, wouldnât she run to him?
âWell, I have some things to get ready, so Iâll go inside first.â
As I quickly bowed to my father and left the study, I saw Jiyun crossing her arms and legs.
âBig brother, did you finish talking to Dad?â
As much as she wanted to rush inside, she was waiting outside for me and father to finish our conversation.
I guess itâs all part of Alessiaâs education. She was as cultured as a lady of Corleone could be.
âYes. Father wants to see you as soon as possible, so go inside.â
âReally? Yes!â
After stroking her hair and talking to her affectionately, Jiyunâs face lit up with excitement, and she went straight to the door of the study and knocked.
âDad, itâs Jiyun~â
-Come in.
âYes!â
Jiyun heard fatherâs reply and rushed insideâŠbut a moment later.
-I hate dadâs beard!
âŠâŠI wonder if being the head of a family is harder than being the head of the underworld.

Back in my room, I was finishing up my academy assignments as usual when Parnello came to my door, still smiling with his kind smile.
âI heard you called for me Master.â
âI apologize for the late hour.â
âNo. Iâm just glad it was the right time. So what can I do for you?â
I had called him to answer a few questions.
âIâm going to Walpurgis Night this year so I thought maybe Parnello could tell me what to look out for or give me some good tips before I go.â
Aside from father and Consigliere, he was the only person in the organization who had been invited to the Walpurgis Night on his own merit.
âMaster, you mean Walpurgis Night?â
Parnelloâs eyes widen at my words and he strokes his beard.
âApparently the Don invited you, and Iâm glad he did, though I was afraid the timing was such that I would have to suggest it to him.â
I wonder if Parnello was also thinking of inviting me to Walpurgis NightâŠâŠ.
Sooner or later, I was going to be there.
âI have the best connections.â
âI donât know too much about it, since Iâm only going along for the ride to protect DonâŠâŠbut I do know that there are some people to watch out for.â
âPeople to watch out for?â
Letâs see, who are the participants in the âWalpurgis Nightâ this year?
I could only guess, but I wasnât sure, since the invitees change depending on the global event.
Then Parnello spoke up, his voice filled with wariness.
âMacbeth, protector of Scotland and pioneer of the Dark Ages. Perhaps you should be most wary of this man.â
ââŠâŠMacbeth?â
I knew about him.
He is a native of Scotland who declared independence from the English government, an international ârebelâ who used his strength and the strength of his men to push back government forces and take over the area.
âWhy should I watch out for him over everyone else?â
Iâve played the game, done a few quests involving him, and even spoken to him in person.
My understanding of his character so far is that heâs a conversational âgentleman,â so why is Parnello telling me to be wary of him?
âItâs because he sees those who are called âkingsâ around the world as his competitors. In your case, youâre more like a crown prince.â
âAh.â
After hearing that, it all started to make sense.
I remember seeing him fight with famous persons and leaders.
Was there a setting for that?
I learned something new.
âOf course, the rebels, even if they are a bunch of bastards, ended up taking an island nation. He wouldnât dare be disrespectful to the Don, so itâs reasonable to assume heâd be wary of you. Other than that, I canât think of anyone elseâŠâŠbut you should be polite to anyone, even if itâs just during âWalpurgis Nightâ.â
In other words, these people have proven themselves and their credentials, so theyâre going to be polite and respectful to each otherâŠexcept for a few.
âAs for the dress code, as always, dress to express yourself. No weapons are allowed inside the venue, and the event will begin with a teleportation with the witches holding the invitations that day.â
Apparently the other information wasnât too far off from what I knew.
âOf course, if youâre going to be there, youâre going to have to make sure that you show yourself as the heir to Corleone, since youâll probably be the protagonist of the event.â
With those words, I could barely decide what attitude I should show there.
âUh, yeah. Thanks.â
Iâll try not to be a jackass.
