Becoming the Villain’s Family - Chapter 387
Chapter 387
Goldkern, the one who had kidnapped him here, stood still and leaned calmly against a rock, eyes closed, enjoying the wind.
‘That guy completely scrambled my mind with a single word.’
They were both ancient dragons who had lived for thousands of years.
There was no way to defeat them or even escape from them.
“I wish you would just let me go. How many times do I have to say it before it gets through those thick ears of yours? Looks like old age is finally catching up with you.”
“Such bad manners for a little one.”
“I told you not to call me that.”
“Alright, little one.”
“XXXX.”
“Where did you learn to use such foul language? I suppose the humans around you didn’t teach you properly…”
Calvin, the red dragon, sighed with a face full of pity.
Luca was about to lose his mind from the frustration.
‘Even words don’t get through.’
Since being kidnapped, Luca had been treated like a child.
If that were all, maybe it wouldn’t drive him so mad.
Even when he tried to calm down and explain things rationally, they had no intention of listening.
Instead, they kept trying to brainwash him, insisting they were right.
It was one-sided, violent affection.
“You’re young. No, you’re so much of a baby that the word ‘young’ doesn’t even apply to you. Stop denying it.”
“You’re old. They say the mind stiffens with age, and it seems you guys have reached a rather serious level. Maybe you should stop too.”
“……”
Goldkern, who had been listening to their conversation from behind, burst into laughter.
Calvin clenched his fists tightly, trembling with anger. His brow furrowed, but he made an effort to keep his voice gentle as he continued speaking.
“What I’m trying to say is that the relationships you’ve built so far are wrong and inappropriate. From now on, you should build healthy and normal relationships instead.”
“So stop making judgments and spouting nonsense.”
“Judging? I’m not judging, ha…”
Calvin was just as frustrated.
It was like a child who had learned that A was C, and now refused to accept that A was actually B. It was as if he was trying to re-teach, but the child insisted they’d continue to believe A was C and refused to listen.
This child still had many years ahead of him. He should be corrected for his mistakes before they become ingrained.
“If you don’t like me making judgments, how about we check what mission God has given a little one like you?”
“I don’t want to. Don’t touch me.”
“You don’t like this, you don’t want that. This is what children are like…”
“When you get old is all you get is meddling in other people’s business?”
“……Not a single word of respect.”
Luca bared his teeth, growling as though he might lunge at Calvin.
“Try touching me, and I’ll kill you and die with you.”
“Little one.”
“Do you think I’m joking?”
Who is this kid even?
‘I haven’t heard anything about a black dragon being born recently.’
Where did he come from?
‘Well, if I haven’t heard of it, he must have grown up alone among humans.’
Calvin rubbed his aching forehead. Although Luca was young and insignificant, the little one had an unusual amount of spirit.
If he had lived for another hundred years, it wouldn’t have been so easy to overpower him.
“Is it because of humans?”
The sudden sharp question made Luca freeze for a moment.
“Humans are nothing more than playthings. After living for thousands of years, they are just tools to keep you sane, weak little creatures, mere puppets.”
Actually, puppets might be better.
At least if they’re preserved, their shape could remain forever.
But if they kill a human and try to preserve it, you can’t say you’ll be together forever.
It would only drive them mad.
“Humans are nothing after death. If you think of them as family, it’s you who will end up in trouble. Are you planning on living out the rest of your years mad?”
“I know that already.”
“If you know, then there’s no reason not to do as I say.”
The easiest and quickest way would be to transfer the mission this child carries onto me.
A dragon born to protect God could not simply erase God’s mission. He wouldn’t dare do so.
If Calvin were to take on the mission in place of Luca, Luca’s body would return to its original state, his memories would be lost, and the misunderstandings and relationships he had wrongly built would be reset.
He would be like an ordinary baby dragon.
“I’ll take responsibility and handle everything for you. Should I swear an oath or something?”
After hearing yet another attempt at persuasion, Luca twisted his lips.
“You said that was all I had.”
That’s exactly why it shouldn’t be all there is.
“This little one is seriously troubled. It’s severe.”
As Calvin was deeply troubled, contemplating what to do, Goldkern, who had been silently watching everything unfold, stood up.
Unlike Calvin, who had been carefully suppressing his energy to keep Luca down, Goldkern’s every step gave a heavy, imposing presence, making beads of cold sweat run down Luca’s back.
Luca clenched his teeth tensely.
“No need to persuade him. Just force it through.”
“What? But he’s still a child…”
“As you said, he’s just a child. He’ll thank us later.”
Luca tried to run.
But at the same time, he was helplessly caught.
In front of these dragons, he was utterly powerless. Like a stuffed animal that the children had grown tired with.
He struggled a few times.
Finally, seemingly giving up, Luca lowered his head. He murmured with a trembling voice.
“…12 years.”
“Hmm?”
The blonde man tilted his head, as if urging him to continue.
“In just 12 years, I’ll forget all the memories and emotions anyway.”
“Forget?”
“According to you, it’s just a moment for me, and I plan to keep it for that moment… Is that so hard?”
But all he received in response was laughter.
“How ridiculous. What’s the difference if you forget now or in 12 years? It’s foolish.”
If this child is struggling so hard to hold onto what he’s calling ‘everything’ for just ‘12 years,’ then that memory should be erased immediately.
That fleeting moment, and the fact that he’s giving it such importance, means he’s sincere.
Anyone would want to heal the wounds a child carries in their body as quickly as possible.
