Chapter 175

Chapter 175

'Tulsky Tokarev of the Old Republic Spy'.

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.

'Silent', which fires bullets without sound, and 'Spy Only', which is undetectable.'

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 things.......

'The shotgun and Tommy were a bit much to carry around.'

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 wasn't a big deal to me, as it was solved with the ......talent 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 doesn't say who.

However, if you're familiar with the CS universe, it's 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.

"Eugene?"

I stared at the gun for a while and didn't speak so my father, who was sitting in front of me, called my name in a worried voice.

"Oh, I'm sorry. This is more than I deserve. You traveled all the way to Russia to get such a valuable item?"

The corner of my father's mouth twitches up subtly as I put the box back on, trying to calm my excitement at the prospect of a new weapon.

"More like, we got into a little trouble getting it. Though, as you can see, it worked out well in the end. Now, let's talk about your other gift, shall we?"

I can't 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.

"There's a big party in The Hague next week. It's a sort of social gathering of important people from all over the world, and I was wondering if you'd like to come with me."

Huh?

"A social......party?"

"Yes. A social party. The Korean Peninsula is still the only place you've made your debut. Now that you're officially the heir, and you're learning more and more, I think it would be a good idea for you to show your face to some of your father's acquaintances."

I'm sure the others will be pleased.

A social party? Great. New connections could come in handy later.

The Hague? That's good too. I hadn't 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.

"Dad, does that social party have a name?"

"A name? Yes, it had a name. I'm pretty sure it was 'Walpurgis Night'."

"Ah."

I was right.

Walpurgis Night it's a sort of big event held in random places in Europe once a year.

My dad talks about it very casually, like it's no big deal, but from what I remember, it's definitely.......

It was a social gathering of underworld moguls from all over the world.

[Sticking with the villain concept?]

[by 19 year old Parasite]

[I've gotten a lot of power and recognition, but for some reason I feel like the others are discriminating against me. If I don't do something, I'm called a mongrel but if I do something, I'm called an amateur, and I don't want to lose anything, but most of them are just as strong or stronger than me, so I can't 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 don't give the right answers, they just make fun of me ㅅㅂ]

[└ : Did you get an invitation to Walpurgis night?]

[└19-year-old Parasite : ? What is that?]

[└A : There's 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.]

[└Corn Blackbeard Tea : You have to be recognized to join, but can a kid who doesn't even know about Walpurgis join? lol]

'Walpurgis Night' had a special meaning in the community.

It meant that my character was world-class and literally a household name.

Does that mean they're just notorious?

Not really, because it's not just about notoriety, it's 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 I've been asked to join the elite, hard-to-reach group only in my first year.

"Really, can I go?"

"Of course. Who would dare say no to my son, let alone anyone else's, and as far as I'm concerned, you're more than qualified, so don't worry too much."

If Eugene Han Corleone's 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.

"I am deeply apprehensive about going to such a prestigious event, but I will certainly participate as a son who won't shame his father."

"Haha, yes. Since you say so, I believe you, too. Well, go in and get a good night's rest. It's fun to talk with you, but...... Jiyun also needs some time with her father after a long time."

As if the official part of the conversation was already over, his voice changed to one filled with affection and I couldn't help but smile at that.

"Yes, that's right, because Jiyun wanted to see you so much, too."

Alessia told me that the number one question the maids have been asked by Jiyun lately is, "When is dad coming home?" so it's clear how much she's been missing him.

If she saw him now, wouldn't she run to him?

"Well, I have some things to get ready, so I'll go inside first."

As I quickly bowed to my father and left the study, I saw Jiyun crossing her arms and legs.

"Big brother, did you finish talking to Dad?"

As much as she wanted to rush inside, she was waiting outside for me and father to finish our conversation.

I guess it's all part of Alessia's education. She was as cultured as a lady of Corleone could be.

"Yes. Father wants to see you as soon as possible, so go inside."

"Really? Yes!"

After stroking her hair and talking to her affectionately, Jiyun's face lit up with excitement, and she went straight to the door of the study and knocked.

"Dad, it's Jiyun~"

-Come in.

"Yes!"

Jiyun heard father's reply and rushed inside...but a moment later.

-I hate dad's beard!

......I 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.

"I heard you called for me Master."

"I apologize for the late hour."

"No. I'm just glad it was the right time. So what can I do for you?"

I had called him to answer a few questions.

"I'm 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."

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.

"Master, you mean Walpurgis Night?"

Parnello's eyes widen at my words and he strokes his beard.

"Apparently the Don invited you, and I'm glad he did, though I was afraid the timing was such that I would have to suggest it to him."

I wonder if Parnello was also thinking of inviting me to Walpurgis Night.......

Sooner or later, I was going to be there.

'I have the best connections.'

"I don't know too much about it, since I'm only going along for the ride to protect Don......but I do know that there are some people to watch out for."

"People to watch out for?"

Let's see, who are the participants in the 'Walpurgis Night' this year?

I could only guess, but I wasn't sure, since the invitees change depending on the global event.

Then Parnello spoke up, his voice filled with wariness.

"Macbeth, protector of Scotland and pioneer of the Dark Ages. Perhaps you should be most wary of this man."

"......Macbeth?"

I knew about him.

He is a native of Scotland who declared independence from the English government, an international "rebel" who used his strength and the strength of his men to push back government forces and take over the area.

"Why should I watch out for him over everyone else?"

I've 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 he's a conversational "gentleman," so why is Parnello telling me to be wary of him?

"It's because he sees those who are called 'kings' around the world as his competitors. In your case, you're more like a crown prince."

"Ah."

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.

"Of course, the rebels, even if they are a bunch of bastards, ended up taking an island nation. He wouldn't dare be disrespectful to the Don, so it's reasonable to assume he'd be wary of you. Other than that, I can't think of anyone else......but you should be polite to anyone, even if it's just during 'Walpurgis Night'."

In other words, these people have proven themselves and their credentials, so they're going to be polite and respectful to each other...except for a few.

"As 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."

Apparently the other information wasn't too far off from what I knew.

"Of course, if you're going to be there, you're going to have to make sure that you show yourself as the heir to Corleone, since you'll probably be the protagonist of the event."

With those words, I could barely decide what attitude I should show there.

"Uh, yeah. Thanks."

I'll try not to be a jackass.
