Incredible stories astonish people.

When not just one, but several such stories surge like waves, people's surprise turns to utter bewilderment.

"That's what happened."

"......"

Despite Eugene explaining everything three times, Erika and Philip could only stand with their mouths agape.

'Is this real...?'

The stories Eugene had told were all incredible.

"So... you're saying that brother infiltrated the Hobart Viscounty to find evidence of their misdeeds and sought help from the prime minister?"

"Yes."

"And that's why the capital's Head of Police came to investigate... and soon, our family can reclaim everything that was unfairly taken from us, right?"

"Yes."

"Incredible..."

Just a few hours ago, their family was on the brink of downfall, but now they could regain everything that was stolen.

Understanding this unbelievable fact in one's mind and accepting it in one's heart were worlds apart.

Dallas barely believed it himself because he had seen it with his own eyes, but if he hadn't seen it, he wouldn't have believed it.

Just look at Philip, who didn't see anything because he was outside the room...

"Is all of this really true...?"

He still couldn't grasp the reality.

"Erika, is this really...!"

"It seems like it's all real..."

"Huh..."

He needed confirmation from Erika and then looked at Phillip, needing to confirm it once more.

But Phillip couldn't say anything.

Looking at Phillip with his eyes closed, facing the sky, his mouth involuntarily shut tight.

'Father... Your son has revived the family...'

Tears were in Dallas's eyes.

The sight of his broken father personally destroying the family haunted him.

'I can't believe he changed due to Gu...'

Unable to believe that his wise father had changed, he lived in doubt for a long time.

He always believed someone had conspired to ruin his father.

He continued to believe in his father, who had passed away.

Many found this frustrating.

His wife, too, who had left long ago, with no news since, had expressed her frustration to Dallas before leaving.

But now, everything was clear.

'My father was innocent...'

His son, the family's beacon of hope, had unraveled the truth.

He had cleared his father's name.

'But it doesn't end there...'

He had brought compelling evidence of the Hobart Viscounty's misdeeds.

Thanks to this unbelievably great achievement, his family could return to its glorious past.

'He truly is the blessing of our family...'

Slowly, Dallas opened his eyes.

"Father..."

"Lord..."

Philip, Erika, and Eugene were all looking at him.

He slowly rose and walked towards Eugene.

And then.

He opened his arms and embraced him tightly.

"Thank you..."

His voice, tinged with emotion, broke through.

"Thank you for clearing my father's name and for restoring the glorious days of our house..."

"..."

"Truly, thank you..."

At this sight, Erika and Philip remained silent, quietly closing their mouths.

'Lord...'

In Dallas's melancholic silhouette, one could see the life of a man who had struggled for decades to uphold his family's legacy.

Several hours later.

In a police investigation room.

"All the evidence is authentic...!"

The investigators trembled as they read the old handwritten records.

This was because the books brought from the secret chamber of the Hobart Viscounty, upon Alexander's order for investigation, were all genuine.

As the examination progressed according to the set procedures, the authenticity of the handwritten records became increasingly clear.

An investigator, who had never taken a bribe from the Hobart Viscounty, suddenly stood up from his desk.

"There's no need to go to trial! The evidence is too conclusive!"

At this, Alexander smiled slyly and asked.

"Is that so?"

"Yes! Both the handwritten records and the actual experimental tools used for Gu production are undeniably genuine!"

"So, we can take official action as early as tomorrow without any issues?"

In this world, the police force was the largest organization responsible for maintaining social peace.

While detailed judgments of punishment were the domain of the court, the police had the authority to impose immediate sanctions in cases where the severity of the crime necessitated urgent action.

"Yes! Combined, these crimes warrant at least life imprisonment! We need to arrest the members of the Hobart Viscounty tomorrow morning to prevent any chance of escape!"

"You handle your job very efficiently. What’s your name?"

"It's Kyle!"

"Kyle, I'll remember you. If you ever come to the capital's police force, look for me."

Alexander, having made a mental note of the righteous investigator, turned to address everyone.

"As our investigator Kyle has informed, the evidence against the Hobart Viscounty's misdeeds appears to be genuine."

"…Yes!"

"Since it's late today, be prepared to move out to the Hobart Viscounty first thing tomorrow morning. We will arrest all the nobles of the Hobart family!"

"Yes!"

"Now, you may rest."

With those words, Alexander turned and headed towards the officers' room.

To dispatch the police force tomorrow morning, there were several tasks to be done, including issuing the deployment orders to the officers.

'No choice but to move quickly.'

Having taken on the prime minister's request, he had to work with full dedication.

Punishing a noble family for their heinous crimes was not something to be hesitant about.

'The Hobart Viscounty must relinquish everything they've unfairly acquired.'

Considering the crimes they committed and the evidence against them, their punishment was bound to be severe.

'Including the huge debt of the Grace Barony.'

The iron mines, stores, everything.

Everything would return to the ownership of the Grace Barony.

'And all their wealth must be confiscated.'

Considering the decades of suffering endured by the Grace Barony, even this compensation would hardly be enough consolation.

After all, lost time cannot be recovered.

"I'm just doing my best."

Supporting Eugene, who is recognized as a friend of the Prime Minister, is the best thing I can do.

Bang!

Alexander kicked open the door of the officers' room and made his entrance.

The officers immediately stood up.

"Head?!"

"What's happening?"

The faces of those who had taken bribes from the Hobart Viscount for years were now visible.

Looking at their wavering eyes...

'They really filled their pockets, didn't they?'

I could roughly estimate how much they had taken.

'Well, no matter how much they took.'

It didn't matter.

Tomorrow, all those high-ranking officials who had pledged loyalty to the Hobart Viscounty would lose their power.

Entrusted with full authority by the Prime Minister, Alexander's single command would brutally enforce the law.

'Well, that's another matter.'

Those officials, who received generous salaries, couldn't control their greedy.

They deserved to be thrown in jail.

'I'll have to delay it a bit in the order of things.'

To swiftly and easily judge the Hobart Viscount, even the hands of these corrupt officials were temporarily needed.

"We need your cooperation."

"Are you referring to the matter related to the Hobart Viscount?"

A quick-witted officer rapidly asked.

'Shrewd one.'

Looking at him, I could tell he was one who had heavily indulged in bribes.

'With that much taken, one would think he'd stay loyal.'

As soon as he realized the Hobart Viscount was finished, he started cutting ties immediately.

'Well, it makes my job easier.'

Alexander grinned and began speaking.

"You're well-informed. I suppose the other officers already know, but the discovered misdeeds of the Hobart Viscount are very serious..."

He shared the truth about the Hobart Viscount's wrongdoings.

"And the punishment to be handed down will be severe..."

He conveyed that immediate sanctions would need to be imposed tomorrow.

His words carried the full weight of authority and justification.

The officers responded with fiery eyes, seemingly ready to burn down the Hobart Viscount.

"We'll lead the police force out first thing tomorrow morning!"

"I'll oversee the seizure of the iron mines, breweries, and stores!"

"Good. Convene a full officers' meeting right away."

"Yes!"

"Understood!"

"I'll be stepping out for a bit. Don't wait up for me."

With everything swiftly concluded, Alexander left the officers' room.

'Good news should be delivered in person to be savored.'

Now that the situation had turned favorable for retrieving everything unjustly taken, how eagerly the involved parties must be waiting for the news!

With the progress of the matter outlined, it was time to share the good developments.

'And if Eugene and his family are moved by my actions?'

They'll surely pass on good words to the prime minister.

If that happens!

'I could rise even higher!'

It meant a sweet tale of acquiring both wealth and honor.

"Ahahaha!"

Alexander rushed towards the Grace Barony's residence.

Dreaming of a bright, rosy future!

Several hours passed into the early evening.

In the office of the Grace Barony, four people quietly sipped tea in a serene atmosphere created by Dallas.

-Nothing is confirmed yet. It's best to wait quietly for now.

The reason was that it was too early to celebrate.

This was indeed true wisdom.

After spending hours hugging Eugene, crying tears of joy, they calmed down, realizing Dallas's words were right.

'It still feels like a dream.'

Despite the occasional smiles that couldn't be helped, the four in the office maintained a composed atmosphere, sipping the tea Dallas had personally brewed.

The warm tea helped soothe their excited hearts, slightly fading the image of the iron mines from their minds...

Bang!

"Lord!"

"What, what is it?"

Startled by the servant who burst in as if to break the door, they all turned to look.

Etiquette would have required the servant to knock first, but no one could reprimand him, seeing his flushed, agitated face.

The servant, visibly worked up, blurted out his message.

"The Head of Police has arrived! He says he has good news, you should come out quickly!"

"Good news...!"

"Let's go out quickly!"

Eager for just that news, the four dashed out of the office without a moment's delay.

They ran swiftly as light and soon reached the reception room, where they were greeted by a gently smiling Alexander.

"Huff. Huff."

Dallas, who should have spoken first, seemed too out of breath due to his frail stamina.

'Can't be helped!'

Erika, young and energetic, stepped forward.

"Lord Alexander! May we know about the good news?"

"I was just about to share it with you."

Gulp!

Erika's loud swallowing echoed through the room.

With a light smile, Alexander succinctly conveyed the recent developments.

"…All these matters will be executed first thing tomorrow morning."

"…Really...?"

"I'm here to deeply apologize on behalf of the local police force, which failed to recognize the unjust suffering endured by the Grace Barony."

Alexander deeply bowed his head.

"Why would the Head of Police...?"

"…Please, raise your head..."

As they watched, the expressions on the four faces softened.

It felt as if the burdens in their hearts were melting away.

Especially...

'The long suffering is finally ending.'

Dallas, who had endured the longest, had a look of great relief.

'Today is the best day since I became the head of the house.'

A moment he would never forget for the rest of his life...

Dallas, with a deliberately stern face, began to speak.

"Philip."

"Yes, Lord."

"Tell the servants to bring in drinks and food."

"Does that mean..."

"Let's have a celebration."

With those words, Dallas showed a joyous smile.

His face, lined with wrinkles, was filled with happiness.

For some reason, looking at his face made everyone feel like they were about to cry.

"Lord..."

Holding back tears that threatened to rise, Philip responded with joy in his heart.

"I'll go right away!"

"...Sob."

Erika, too young to hold back her tears, buried her face in Eugene's chest.

Eugene, gently stroking her hair, smiled softly.
