I was Sold at the Lowest Price in My Class, However My Personal Parameter is the Most Powerful

C479 – The Truth / Jean

My father, Virgil, got information about an assassination plot against his son. Moreover, the assassination was to be carried out by a government organization that was affiliated with his workplace.

Of course, there was no way that a government organization would be foolish enough to leak information to the father of the target of the assassination plot, so it was an intentional tip-off.

It was a choice that had to be made in advance, rather than being interrupted by unforeseen circumstances.

He could act to save his son and turn the organization against him, or he could let him die and protect the rest of his family and himself…….I, for one, thought my father made the latter choice but according to Luca's story, he made the third choice, which was neither of those.

Father acted to help Little Shan and further protect his family and himself.

In order to thwart Little Shan's assassination attempt and further protect his family, he tried to obtain the weakness of the upper echelons of the organization and use it as a leverage to secure our safety.

However, in the end, Little Shan's assassination was carried out. After losing Little Shan, my father made a deal with the organization to at least ensure the safety of his remaining family members.

I don't know why my father risked his life to save Luca, but perhaps he saw an overlap with his own family when he learned that her life was threatened by the organization.

Also, my father said that he had always wanted a daughter. Perhaps the overlap in their circumstances made him think of Luca as his daughter.contemporary romance

But from what I had heard so far, I still didn't understand why Luca wanted me to meet my father. When I pointed this out to her, she continued her story.

“Mr. Virgil spoke a lot about Mr. Jean. He said he was proud of you……and regretted Little Shan's death. He was always sad when he told me that I had lost two sons but after some time, he happily told me that he had found out that Mr. Jean was in a mercenary group called the Iron Knights. Since then, Mr. Virgil has been gathering information on the Iron Knights and keeping an eye on their activities.”

I was surprised. Surely my father, who had done intelligence work, would have been able to gather that much information but I would never have dreamed he would do so.

“He was happily talking about Mr. Jean's until he became ill with a brain disease and suffered from memory loss. He seemed to be watching over you all the time, telling me that that battle was actually won by the Iron Knights, or that the Iron Knights played a big role again."

This is unthinkable for the father I knew. Maybe the brain disease had progressed before Luca thought it had. It is common to hear that brain diseases can change one's personality.

“I was surprised when I heard that a group of mercenaries called the Iron Knights had come to this country and I thought that if I missed this chance Mr. Virgil would never have the chance to see Mr. Jean again so I couldn't stand still……Mr. Virgil is in such a state, but I thought that perhaps a miracle would happen if I met Mr. Jang. I also thought that a miracle would happen……"

The result was no miracle. Luca seemed to recall the shock of the outcome and looked sad.

“……I understand your story. Thank you for telling me."

In the first place, I don't know if this story is true or if it is a fantasy created by my father but as a result, there seems to be no doubt about the fact that he saved the girl.

I don't think he fulfilled his responsibility for my brother's death, but I did feel a little better about it.
