Will I Eventually Become a Capitalist? Chapter 50

"Although, the Kaslana family's eldest daughter does call me brother."

After a long pause, he said seriously.

Raven's lips twitched.

Having an S-rank bodyguard, and being called brother by the Kaslana family's eldest daughter, yet you're telling me you're from an ordinary family?

This young master is bored of playing with maids in his big house and suddenly wants some excitement, right?

Coming out for excitement, but not forgetting to bring an S-rank Valkyrie along to look after you.

It's obvious.

A pure prodigal son.

"…Young master, you should just go home."

Raven extended her hand to the teenager in front of her, her expression unreadable.

Raven was born not long after the dissolution of the Soviet Union.

In that turbulent era, the number of wealthy individuals born in Russia exceeded the total for all of Europe.

Their rise was clearly not due to diligently farming, doing business, or researching.

The luxury and nobility of that privileged class were entirely built upon the nation's fragmentation and the people's wails…

Because of this upbringing, she found it incredibly difficult to feel any fondness for characters like the young master.

Or rather, it was already quite difficult not to feel hostility.

"Give me the Lord's vessel. I will take it to where it belongs next."

She said.

"Huh? I'm not welcome?"

The teenager, with his completely prodigal demeanor, showed a hint of distress.

"If you don't let me enter the Elysian Realm, it will be difficult for me to explain to others."

"I will help you complete the mission."

"If you need to handle Schicksal's reports, I can also help you write one… though I don't think you'll need it given your status."

Raven said.

Compared to acting alongside this prodigal son who would get drunk with his sworn friends before a mission, she felt her efficiency would be higher if she acted alone.

"Well, I roughly know you don't want to see me, but I think it's impossible for you to complete the mission alone from now on."

The teenager tilted his head, speaking calmly.

"Because—"

"The vessel… is me."

Chapter 58: Mobius

Elysian Realm.

A place world Serpent cadres are bound to visit.

The Memory Bodies of the Thirteen Flame-Chasers are stored in this area.

Raven didn't dislike this place.

—Although most of the World Serpent cadres had some issues, the Flame-Chasers encountered more frequently in the Elysian Realm seemed quite normal and proper. Compared to interacting with people like Jackal, interacting with the Flame-Chasers wasn't difficult.

Of course, Russell's situation might be a bit different.

He sold himself out. Well, if nothing unexpected happens, Mobius is already waiting for him inside.

"Dr. Mobius, are you staking out the entrance right now?"

Russell followed behind Raven, chatting with a few people in the group as they walked towards the Elysian Realm.

"Of course."

"I want to see what kind of strange footage Elysia, that fatty, managed to film."

Mobius replied.

As expected, the boss was blocking the entrance right from the start.

Russell rubbed the Tiger Talisman around his neck, thinking that bosses these days were getting more ruthless, directly ambushing the newbie village entrance, waiting for foolish adventurers to charge in and get beaten.

"By the way, do you need me to give your subordinate some final rites?"

The snake-like scientist suddenly spoke.

"Ah, what final rites?"

Russell was stunned.

"It's probably creating an illusion, and having one of my teammates help him defeat the illusion, allowing him to rest in peace."

"Then, while he's dreaming, kill him and take his body."

"Is there any difference between that and just killing me directly?"

Russell's expression was quite subtle.

Listening to a certain twisted murderer analyze how to kill him... that was quite a subtle experience.

"Perhaps, I can give him a good dream?"

"Don't all boys love stories where they defeat a Demon Lord and become a hero under the admiring gaze of cute little sisters?"

Mobius said something that sounded perfectly reasonable.

"Of course, if you can, you could also help me investigate if he has any enemies or family members who need looking after."

"I will help him solve those problems."

"From the perspective of a butcher, this bedside manner is quite thorough."

Russell nodded, then said seriously.

"My cousin owes me two hundred billion. Please help me pay it off."

Mobius: "..."

After a long pause, she finally replied.

"Do you think I look easily fooled?"

"I don't know, but one must try to deceive, what if it works?"

Russell pondered for a moment and then spoke.

"It's been a long time since anyone dared to joke with me like this."

"Your joking tone is quite similar to Elysia's."

Mobius, as a Memory Body, smiled, a hint of nostalgia in her eyes.

"It's a bit nostalgic."

"You can also consider me a friend. I'd be happy to be friends with you."

Russell thought about it and said.

"Firstly, Elysia and I are not friends."

"Secondly, I don't need friends."

"Lastly, a transaction is a transaction, don't mix other things into it."

Mobius, slumbering in her memory palace, chuckled and rejected Russell's friendship offer.

Tsk—

If you don't want to be friends with me, I'll remember this grudge!

When the opportunity arises, I'll definitely squeeze every last drop of value out of this snake.

For now...

For now, I'll just take out my anger on the World Serpent's wall.

Russell clicked his tongue, then couldn't help but pull a kunai from his pocket and scrape it against the wall.

[Are you some kind of child?]

Even the prompt device let out a complaining sound.

"Hello, I'm eight years old today."

Russell said proudly.

[Good grief, are you directly competing with Kiana? If you really want to experience being a child, you can try shrinking your body into a child and burrowing into the arms of that girl over there. She seems to pity you quite a bit right now, and this woman surprisingly has a lot of maternal instinct.]

Huh?

Russell blinked, and as expected, he found Raven indeed watching him.

Raven looked at the young man who had come with her, her expression filled with melancholy.

He was about to die.

No, he had already died.

A Bishop from Schicksal had dispatched an S-rank Valkyrie to escort him to the Elysian Realm, so that a certain esteemed individual could complete their reincarnation.

The moment the so-called Bishop issued the order, the life of the boy named Russell had already ended. Yet, she had been upset with him for being thirty minutes late...

It was truly saddening.

Although his origins were truly quite awful, this guy was actually quite good-looking.

His features were exceptionally refined, his contours smooth. His irises were a rare ice blue, and his hair color was a rare gradient type. The overall color was black, but the ends faded into a light blue-gray. That blue-gray hue was incredibly beautiful, making one want to extract that color and use it to paint a hazy sky.

Such a handsome person should be receiving adoration on campus.

He absolutely shouldn't be here.

Raven felt a sadness she had never experienced before.

But what could she do? In the end, she was just a cadre of World Serpent. Even if she wanted to save them, she couldn't do anything...

After all, the decision was made by Schicksal's Bishop...

The girl's heart felt heavier than ever before.

However, in stark contrast to the girl, the one being watched wore a calm expression.

"Ah... don't look at me with such burning eyes, or I'll think you like me."

The boy scratched his cheek, appearing a bit shy, but he showed no intention of dodging. He even seemed to be striking a pose.

Raven: "..."

Why is this young master so narcissistic?

"It's a pity, I have no interest in rich young masters like you."

"Not to mention, a young master who is about to die."

After a long pause, the woman spoke, her words quite cruel.

"I think you're lying. I'm so good-looking, how could you not be moved?"

"It must be that you feel inferior and don't deserve me, which is why you're saying this."

The boy snorted proudly.

Raven: "..."

Suddenly, she felt that her previous sadness was a bit unnecessary.

This young master is truly narcissistic.

But upon careful consideration, a wry smile spread across Raven's face.
