Fake Professor, Misunderstood As Strong - Chapter 87

Empty hearts…
When Jareth killed his fake family members in the Blaze mansion, he picked up their space rings, in which he found the ‘Family Card’.

A family card serves as a unique ‘ATM’ card for making purchases under the family’s name.

Jareth immediately sent a large amount of money into his own bank account using the ATM card, never pausing until it was completely full.

Now the Blaze family will have to pay all that money to the bank, as all that was a credit taken in the name of the Blaze family.

The Vassal families will have to bear the consequences of this action.

They are currently looting the family resources, but they don’t know that they are already millions in debt.

Even their own companies and businesses will soon go bankrupt to pay this massive sum of money that Jareth has added to his own bank account.

This type of family card doesn’t have a password or anything; it can be used directly by anyone, and you can take out as much money as the card allows.

Given the extreme wealth of the Blaze family, the card in the hands of the family head is clearly of a high level and has a substantial limit.

That’s why Jareth was able to get all that money and make it his own.

Normally, the head of the family holds the family card, ensuring its safety and peace of mind. However, after killing his fake brother, Jareth took control of the card, resulting in a significant debt for the entire Blaze family.

Now, the bank will approach the vassal families and request that they return the money, leaving them in a state of shock and helplessness.

Jareth is already rumored to have become a grade 1, and they wouldn’t dare blame him even if you gave them the courage of steel.

The Vassal families always created a lot of problems for the Vassal family that adopted Jareth; thus, he also did the exact same thing to them.

He created such a massive problem for them that they can’t recover or run from it even if they want to.

The vassal families own a large number of industries and companies, but these things are ultimately part of the Blaze family, so the bank will have a legitimate reason to seize them.

The vassal families will have no way to stop these legal procedures.

Jareth had laid such massive traps for revenge that if others knew about what he had done, they would feel chills run down their spines.

…

A week has passed since coming back from Artavia.

In the past week, Jareth used the money to buy a small and beautiful mansion for himself. He bought a luxurious car and hired a lot of bodyguards and maids to take care of the house.

Then he hired an old butler to arrange the servants in the house.

He put the name plate ‘Ayad’ on the mansion.

Ayad was Jareth’s deceased mother’s surname, so he took it as a family name and decided to take a long surname for himself, ‘Jareth Aadhira Von Ayad’.

He held a small press conference to calm people down by officially declaring that he had become a Grade 1 mage.

This will make people stop making weird posts about him online, and people will stop saying things like, ‘He played volleyball with dinosaurs!’

He also announced a change of surname at the end of the conference.

After a moment of shock, the reporters nodded.

They possess exceptional news networks; they have already discovered that the Blaze family is currently experiencing significant turmoil, and it is likely that Jareth has no desire to interact with them.

The conference ended in the evening, and the reporters left one by one.

Jareth stood on the mansion’s rooftop and sipped tea while gazing at the setting sun with satisfaction in his eyes.

“It’s already been more than three months since I came to this world; time passes so fast…”

When he first came to this world, Jareth was on the verge of expulsion from the academy, and he wasn’t even sure about his own survival.

But he kept working hard for his future, and now he has achieved so much in just a few months that it feels quite unbelievable.

In a few months, he went from an unknown random person to a guy who is famous all over the nation.

Although the people have misunderstood that he is a grade-1 mage, it’s not wrong that his power is equal to that of a grade-1 mage now.

The improvement brought by mana purity was extremely huge; it enhanced his overall capabilities by a lot.

Jareth hadn’t expected such a massive improvement so suddenly.

‘Standing on the roof of this mansion, I seem to have achieved everything back…’

Before becoming an enemy for his boss in the previous life, Jareth already had a mansion and a lot of subordinates.

He was living a comfortable and satisfactory life by that point, but everything went downhill when his boss found out that he was dating Shiina secretly.

He lost everything and became a street dog that any random passerby could beat at their will.

His miserable life ended with being beaten to death in a brutal manner; he can still remember the immense pain he felt during that torture.

‘I have regained everything that I had lost, but… does it even mean much now?’

A goal only feels amazing when it’s unachievable; once you achieve it, you will start losing interest in it, and your life will feel empty.

It’s similar to how you always want to make a dream PC when you grow up, but when you finally finish building that dream PC, you just don’t have the time or energy to play games on it anymore.

{A goal once achieved becomes similar to a tasteless juice; it’s good for show, but you don’t wanna drink it….} (Source: Trust me bro…)

Jareth regained all the past glory in just a few months, but all this money and assets held no appeal in Jareth’s eyes now.

The only reason he bothered to get them was so that he could have a place to stay whenever he wasn’t at the university.

Although he can simply use magic to carve out his own home in any random forest or mountain, he wants to stay in society and not become a secluded master like in novels and comics.

Jareth was staring at that setting sun when a thought came to him.

‘It seems you really took away all my happiness with you, Shiina… I can’t even feel happy anymore, even if I want to… You really are too unfair on me…’

…

Royal Castle.

Mark’s room.

“N-no, W-why do I have to strip in front of you, That’s s*xual harassment! I will scream if you dare come near me, you fiend!”

Mark was sweating profusely as he was being stared at by Risa.

“Hehehe, you can’t run from me!”

“I read in a book that to make a man fall head over heels for you, you need to know how to make his body happy!! I’m doing the same thing; this is totally legal! We are married!!”

Risa looked like an old pervert who had found her prey, and she was chasing Mark, who was dodging her claws desperately.

(They are just messing around; there is nothing illegal going on here…)

And then Risa used shadow magic to manipulate her shadow and caught Mark’s leg, causing him to fall.

She immediately sat on his tummy to stop him from running away.

“W-what are you trying to do!?… eh? Wait… You feel so light… you have lost weight or something?”

A confused look appeared on Mark’s face. He hurriedly placed his hand on her forehead, and sure enough, she had a high fever at the moment, which also explains why she was behaving so weirdly today.

She wasn’t thinking straight at all.

Before Risa could do anything, Mark immediately waved his hand and bound Risa’s hand and legs. He got up, carried her to his bed, and glared at her.

“You are ill; why did you come here to mess around when you knew your health wasn’t good?”

Mark then rang the small bell placed at a nearby table, and a maid entered the room.

“Bring over the healing mage… Get her treated; she has a fever..”

Seeing that Mark was sitting nearby, Risa clenched his palm as her reddened face felt like it was burning due to the high fever.

“Ugh, hold my hand…”

Mark couldn’t help but shake his head and accompany her for the time being.

He has always advised her to eat properly and take care of herself, but Risa doesn’t listen at all.

She’s always so busy messing around that she loses weight and doesn’t eat for days sometimes.

(She’s a skilled assassin; starving for a few days is no big deal for her… it’s just that Mark tends to overexaggerate about it…)

Mark glanced at Risa and asked in a calm voice.

“By the way, did you tell your parents that you were going to the royal palace?”

At Mark’s question, Risa pouted her cheeks and said,

“They always deny whenever I ask them for permission, saying that it will bother the prince, so I just sneak out of the mansion on my own…”

At her words, Mark could only shake his head.

‘Sigh… This girl’s just too obsessed with teasing me… Doesn’t she have anything better to do than that… What’s so fun teasing me all day long…’

‘I am not even that good of a guy to chase around all day long…’

Mark is usually busy training all day long, so he tends to forget how handsome he looks, and he is ignorant of the fact that he has a massive fan club of his own made entirely of female fans.

In his own opinion, he has already dedicated his life to magic, and other things are not very important to him. That’s why he thinks that it would be a bad thing if Risa kept chasing him.

She might not be able to get the love she wants from him, as he is just too dedicated to magic.

‘Sigh… It would have been better if you had chased someone else… At least they could have loved you wholeheartedly… I have already given my heart to magic, Where will I find time for you…’
