@cabellones I mean, a noble killing kin will seriously damage the family reputation, but him being killed in the custody of another person (even if she done the deed) is legaly aceptable. This may be the only chance she have to get hid of her brother without cause internal strife in the family.

@vishi to ne honest, she may be true to the deal, her reason is pretty much on point,if he dies in the protection of the MC, she is blameless and she will get rid of a parasite on the family, and he can simply disapear far away and live like a count. Also, she knows he is pretty strong, and may use his contact for other jobs behind the scenes.

@H i s o k a quickly, efficient, brutal... Not gonna lie, was not expecting that on a manhwa like this... not complaining either..

@Veeveevee I can understand his point of view. She needed to go back to hunting because of the situation hunter have in this world, causing fear just by standing next to a normal person, she was faded to never adapt and may became dangerous going rogue, and she will be a huge asset in his guild... but he did that all wrong, he deserve it (but I don't think he will die yet)

@Batou yeah, but walm is more "sane".. in the sense he doesn't live just for training. He was fighiting so desperate after losing his buddies, let's see how he will end up

@Rehan Khan it will create chaos but i understand her, I mean, how you tell your BF that the only guy she had friendship and common hobbie was you all along?

@Error it's the Secret Society of Harem-babes

@Michiun I will not be suprised that she knows and the weapon is innefective against the MC. Her last words shows she suspect her grandaughter intentions...

@STECHI they need a shock to advance... when they reconcile they probably be advancing another step

@Sinha it's the story of the princess of the kingdom.. don't know why, maybe the autor want to try redem her..

@AshiuRey well, she is probably a bas**** child, so she being the mom and a maid can be both truth... (and far too comon on these stories)

@Insight

Ah yes, but there is far more cruel fates than death (if you are curious enough look for a film called "Johnny got his gun")...

MC knows that, he knows that he saved them and they pay with betrayal, if they only let them live and not helping them, they all will suffer and be regretfull.

Kill and the pain is gone. Let them live with the guilt and having to deal with their problems without help and the pain is longer (again, the brunete is a prove of concept, being all regretfull after learning the truth, other is the white hair one having to deal with her disease and suffer a lot more now that the MC is not there to absorb the disease ).

Also, just killing them in his current level can be a lot troublesome (like dealing with the consequences of killing his master), so just let them deal alone with their problems is not a bad revenge...

@Insight

man, I'd agree with you if this was a modern society story, but it is murim, and there war far more worse reasons to kill or betray people in murim...

but back to this one, my argument is, that because they felt they were forced to be with him in their previous life, they didn't felt love for him, in fact some even hate him, felling that he was the reason of some misfortune in their life.

Like the brunette, who, in the previous life, lost the chance to be with her family because he was delaying her encouter by training her. (as far as I understand, she even had doubts if he was responsible of their deaths), of course she didn't knew the true that her family was using her and never love her and without knowing that, she betray the MC. Is she wrong on seeking revenge ? by murim standards, no.

And she is the first one who latter discovers that his intentions of delaying her was to protect her and is showing deep remorse. She is at fault? yes. The MC is also at fault? yes, for knowing the situation and now explaining properly, thinking was better for her now knowing how awfull her family was.

And I suspect that there is more to it, that someone was feeding their hate towards the MC hoping for the betrayal. that, yeah they may feel some resentiment toward him, but to make them act, someone was inciting them.

@Insight to be fair, most of them did it under a wrong pretense about him (that he manipulate them and bed them just for his lu** and sc*** with their lifes because of that) and now they saw a part of the truth (that he help them and protect them a lot) and are regretifull. The brunete is the most explicit on this (because she thought she have a loving family and she lost the chance to reunite with them because of the MC and turn out they were trying to kill her). But this looks that they were manipulated on poison him (maybe by the pink hair chick?)

@Yuuna likely, and he is distorting those feelings

@vishi

it was a weird relation, because of the neckace, he always saw his little brother as his protector, so he had a attachment for the brother he tought had died.

And frankly, he had blame, but his father had more, he was the one who free the curse, if he had not done that, the village may have resisted, the older brother try to propose making a deal, but the leader was too arrogant thinking they can defeat the empire that way. (thay can only buy time until another army with a powerfull mage arrive)

@Rick Anapaz frankly, they were already doomed, that las ac can only buy them time for he next army to arrive, or they can resist by always sacrificing kids... (and probably the empire had more armies to spare than the village had kids)

@ImmaNeet it was not her, it was one of her subordinates asking for her help

@Pipipipi

I had a  hunch when I see the guns.. the modern like tanks also were things that make me supect more...

but I like they didn't make him just a Isekai guy, but a split personality...

fell sorry for the original john doe tough...
