Becoming The Villain's Family

Chapter 74

There seemed to be something behind the hesitation and twisting of his body.

“Actually, I wasn’t interested, but I broke the Lord’s I serve’s favorite teacup, and I was in debt, and I ended up sitting on the street…”

So, that was why he was aiming for one hundred thousand gold in search of treasure.

Somehow, looking at the business plan he put out, it seemed that he was focusing on the treasures of Atlantis, not on Atlantis itself.

“I was in a situation where my wife and children would be sold as well.”

The matter was more serious than she expected.

“I told the Lord about Atlantis and the map with the feeling of grabbing straws1. Then he told me that he would give me a chance and ask me to find the treasure.”

That Lord has a bad taste. Aria thought.

‘You don’t even believe that the guy will bring you the treasure, you’re just pretending to give it a chance for fun.’

And as long as the man has a keen eye, he would have known that.

But he had no choice but to do it. Because there was no other way.

‘It seems he didn’t believe that he was a descendant of the royal family, but somehow wanted to believe.’

If he didn’t cheat on her, the situation would have been so desperate.

Aria pondered for a moment, then held out her hand with a new card.

[Give me that.]

Anyway, it seemed to be true as far as what he had heard of his ancestors. As Aria spread her palms out, the man hurriedly shoved the barnacles into her hands.

That was the moment.

“Gasp!”

“Wh, what!”

“My God…….”

The mass of barnacles, which were close to sea garbage, was suddenly engulfed in white light.

Aria herself was so shocked that she almost dropped it.

‘Oh, that scared me…….’

The barnacles that covered it fell as if it was peeling off the skins, and the light that made them frown quickly faded away, leaving only the pink bare inside.

The identity of the lump was a pearl.

‘It’s a conch pearl.’

The most expensive pearl in the world. A pearl with a pale pink, porcelain-like texture, produced from a large snail shell.

Just enough to fit into Aria’s hand.

[You don’t even need to find Atlantis with a conch pearl of this size. It’s not just enough to pay off your debt, it’s more than enough to buy a permanent residence…….]

It was when Aria was writing her card kindly for the man.

“Ki, king!”

Suddenly the man knelt to his knees. Aria was just speechless, she had nothing to say.

“Really?”

“Is the Young Madam a descendant of the ancient royal family?”

And as the Black Falcon began to talk, she became even more speechless.

“That’s what it was! I wasn’t a descendant of the royal family, but in fact my role was to deliver a map of Atlantis to the descendant!”

Fine. Think as you please. Apparently, this man was too impressed with the marine adventure novels.
