The Strongest Clan’s Master Is the Weakest and Most Evil Support Class Chapter 29: Caliber of a King

I instantly put my hand on my chest.

......There's no heartbeat

The heartbeat that should have been there. I couldn't feel it at all. Sweat poured from every pore on my body.

No, keep cool. If my heart is really gone, I would be dead by now.

Then, is it so form of illusion? Talkers are resistant to ntal debuffs, but it's possible for the higher ranked Finocchio to make see illusions.

But I felt it in my bones. This was not an illusion.

As expected, you're able to calmly assess the situation without losing your composure

......What did you do to ?

This is a Skill called Judgnt, and it can forcibly gouge out the target's heart after eting its activation requirent of having my requests rejected twice in a row by the target

An instant-death Skill specialized against people, I see...... But I'm still alive

That's because it's linked to you through space. If you're more than five ters away from , or if I crush it with my hand, then you'll die instantly. In other words, your life is literally in my hands

Finocchio smiled and stroked my heart lovingly. There was no pain, but nauseating chills ran through my whole body.

Noel, you're a little too......no, you're too outstanding to the level where it's no longer a laughing matter. It's unthinkable that you're just a 16 year old brat. This is just a drag queen's intuition, but you'll soday bring disaster to the Luciano Family. Yes, I'm sure of it

And that's why you're nipping the source of the calamity at the bud

That's right. But I'm not a demon. I'll give you one final chance. Noel, join the Luciano Family. If you do that, I won't take your life

I see. That's very kind of you......

I turned over my options in my mind, thinking of plans to break out of this situation.

My body can't move properly because of my earlier fight. Even if it could move, I couldn't possibly escape an A Rank.

Should I use Link to call Alma? No, Alma also wouldn't stand a chance against Finocchio. What if I asked Alma to call Raios over? As another A Rank, it's probably possible for him to subdue Finocchio.

The problem is that if I aggravated the situation, Finocchio would surely crush my heart. This drag queen isn't fool enough to allow others to butt in.

Then what should I do? Succumb to the drag queen's threat?

............Hmpt, that's not going to happen

I pushed my staggering body up and walked towards Finocchio.

What? Coming to take back your heart? Just to make things clear, with the difference in our fighting abilities, such a reversal is impossible. Even if you beat the billion to one odds and do get it back, it's still curtains for you. So long as I don't release the Skill, your heart will never return to you

Finocchio Bargini, you're correct

What? What are you talking about?

I took one step closer to Finocchio, who had tilted his head quizzically.

I'm the man who will one day stand at the top of all Seekers. Once I've done that, even the Luciano Family won't be able to touch . So if you want to kill , now's the ti

Wa, wait! Don't co close so suddenly! If I drop your heart, you'll die instantly! Do you understand what I'm saying!?

You want to kill , don't you? Do it. Co on, do it

Another step forward. The distance between Finocchio and was now close enough that we could feel each other's breaths.

But don't forget. The mont you kill , you'll lose your pride as the Don of the Bargini Family, the direct affiliate of the Luciano Family

What, what did you say?

Killing a person who will beco troubleso in future while they're still weak is the correct choice in this dog-eat-dog world. But that's not what a true man would do, is it? To put it another way, you're just scared. Where is the heart(caliber of a man) in that? Answer , Finocchio

Y, you......in a situation like this......

Finocchio's face was twitching with anger and bewildernt. Finocchio was taller by a head so I was looking up at him.

But, without retreating one step, I stared straight at Finocchio.
