"Yes, Cale-nim."
Cale then headed down to Raon on the fourth floor.
Choi Han watched Cale disappear before turning his head to look past the terrace window again.
"...That should have been a crow, right?"
"Pfft- i guess we gonna meet soon rok soo no cale-ya" Sui khan said it slowly like a whisper but people with high hearing sense heard it too
"A crow?" Cage asked as she frowned
'Who is this white haired child? it look like cale knows him too' Eruhaben pondered
A black figure had landed on the terrace ledge for a moment before disappearing just now. It had been so short and he had not paid much attention to it because he did not sense any mana, aura, or any other sensation.
However, there was one thing that was on his mind.
It was such a short moment that he did not see properly, but...
"...A bat? A hawk?"
"Hawk tribe?" Fredo asked mischievously
"What does hawk tribe do in Roan kingdom?" Mila asked
"I dont know it could be a bat too" Fredo smiled while cotton just clenched her hand 'please dont say something stupid and get me caught into the chaos you cause sir'
'It's the middle of the day and we are in the capital. Why would there be a bat?
Isn't a hawk not fitting for a city like this?'
The confused Choi Han shook his head.
'A hawk, a bat, none of them should be a problem.'
Raon would have noticed it if it had contained any weird force.
"That is true strong choi han because i am great and mighty dragon" Raon said with a cute tone
"Of course you are raon nim" Choi han smiled as he replied
Choi Han thought that he would either pull out his sword, report to Cale, or do something if he saw that black figure again as he addressed the people on the fifth floor.
"Wow you are really protective of cale, little han" Sui khan asked with a smile
"Of course i am sir" Choi han replied sternly
"Wow" Choi jung soo exasperate 'please shut up' That was the only thought in cale's mind
"Please listen to me. I do not wish to fight. If possible."
He meant it.
Sui khan couldnt help but give a amuse smiled at this
* * *
The fourth floor was quiet as well.
Everybody was breathing quietly while looking at one person.
Tap. Tap.
Cale walked down the silent hallway at a leisure pace before opening the door.
"C, Commander-nim-!"
– Human, I'm glad you are here!
Some people in the room were bound up with black rope. Anybody would be able to tell that these ropes were made of mana.
'That guy must be the first son.'
The room started to pay more attention to this
The man who was tightly bound compared to the others could not hide his chaotic mind once he saw Cale. This seemed too realistic to be an act.
'Hold on, was the first son of the Flynn Merchant Guild the type to reveal his emotions like this?
Billos sigh
"I dont think he is good enough to lead a merchant guild" Bud slowly said it to his best friend
Glenn nodded slowly 'Even tho this idiot act like a headless chicken he will clearly act professional when the time comes' Glenn smiled proudly at bud
In that case, it makes sense why the second son and Billos were being considered to be the heir.
Cale stood in front of the first son and calmly spoke.
"The merchant guild leader is dead."
"......."
"So he knows about it" Rosalyn asked while twirling her hair
The eldest son was silent.
"You knew."
Cale asked.
"Where did the second child go?"
Flinch. The first son's shoulders started shaking. He was finally looking at Cale properly. He then warily looked around before speaking.
"What relationship with the second-, no."
The eldest son shook his head. Cale could feel a sparkle returning to the eldest son's eyes.
-- 'Whats with this bastard human' Raon aske in cale's head
'Like hell i know' Cale wanted to reply but he just couldnt
"I'm not sure where the second went. I just, I just-"
He clenched his eyes shut and continued to speak.
"I was worried that the second would try to kill me, Commander-nim."
'Why? is there a heir problem along with hunters' Taylor thought as he frowned 'No this seems bigger'
"...Why?"
The eldest son looked into Cale's eyes that had been calm since the beginning.
His eyes seemed deep but transparent. He also could not feel any emotions through them.
'My eldest son. Immediately look for Billos, no, go to the Commander if something ever happens to me. I'm sure that Billos would have gone to look for him."
"! ah" Billos scoffed 'What happened?'
"something is missing" Suikhan said in a low voice
The eldest son recalled what happened this morning.
"Oh a flashback" Hannah said without that much enthusiasm
He had a stealthy conversation with his father.
"My father stealthily visited my residence late last night. He then told me... He said that he was going to remove our second brother from the successor position.
Billos eyes shook and he scoff
'internal conflicts' Alberu thought as he held his chin in his hand
"And?"
"He seemed quite concerned that second brother would find out about it. If he found out- and if-"
The eldest son lowered his head.
"He said to run away without even looking behind if something happened to the Flynn Merchant Guild. He said that he could already be dead if that was the case."
Zed frowned 'It look like the head of the flynn merchant is really tried to convey the message to young master cale'
His voice was shaking so much.
Cale calmly responded to him.
"Raise your head."
Cale needed to see the look on this person's face.
He felt the sadness of a son who had lost his father, but Cale also thought about Billos's terrible appearance and the people who did not consider him a part of the family.
'Did not consider him as a family? why?' Paeston cant help but ponder about it
"It is ok now young master nim, the second son fell into a sharks mouth and thats all" Billos said with a sad smile
"Dont be sad chubby billos oh wait you are not chubby anymore you should eat more i like that appearance more" Raon spoke out loud and wished for more apple pies to fall on billos table which appeared
"Th-thank you Raon nim" Billos said with a small smile 'How nice, if only i could be more useful'
"Billos dont think about useless things, remember your main goal" Cale said in monotone voice but Billos cant help but give out a small laugh
Cale only focused on the task at hand.
"Then did you try to run away as soon as the chaos started?"
"Yes, Commander-nim. I was certain that I would be next after Billos and my father."
"Why?"
The eldest son observed Cale. Although he did not have his name in line as successor as the second son and Billos, he was skilled enough and had enough tact to maintain his position as the eldest son.
"...It looks like you don't have a good relationship with second brother, Commander-nim."
"And?"
"Will you protect me from him?
"look like he have some information to ask this boldly " Rosalyn spoke in a sarcastic manner as she turn into the screen
"Of course he have to have something nya" Hong cheered on
The eldest son lowered his head and pointed at his pocket.
"I have a map of the secret location where the official stamp of the Flynn Merchant Guild Leader is hidden. No business can take place without this stamp."
"Oh!" Ron gasped and smile benignly
"I will protect you."
The deal took place in an instant.
The eldest son sighed. His head was down and his shoulders slightly moved up and down before his whole body started to shake.
"...F...ather......"
This cry that sounded almost like a full sob made Cale look at him for a moment before motioning to the air.
..... sigh 'Father eh ' Billos scrunched his face as he gripped his bridge of his nose
"Please connect the video communication device to his highness."
– I got it, human! But can I be nice when I tie the eldest son up? I promise it'll be enough so that he can't run away!
"No."
Ron smiled at that
Cale shook his head and asked the eldest son a question.
"Will you go up to the fifth floor?"
The fifth floor was where the merchant guild leader was located.
"...Please."
Cale spoke in a low voice after seeing the eldest son, who was kneeling on the ground while tied up, basically bowing to the point of falling over.
"I guess you have a pretty good idea as to what the second child has done."
"...I believe that he did something that does not bode well for the Roan Kingdom."
"Yep not only Roan kingdom but that hunter business would affect the whole continent just like white star" Bud whined out "why problem after problem is coming after us"
Glenn just frowned couldnt agree or disagree with his idiot
Cale's close relationship with Billos was one factor, but this was the main reason why this guy did not resist and bowed so respectfully right now despite Cale's sudden intrusion.
'Young master cale is really a nice man' Rosalyn smiled at his action
– Human, I'll come after moving him there! Here's the video communication device!
A video communication device that had just started to connect appeared in the air and Cale grabbed it in his hand.
Raon used magic to move the tied people up to the fifth floor.
Cale watched this for a bit and turned to look at the video communication device now that he was alone.
The crown prince's face should appear soon.
Cale subconsciously commented in that short instant.
"...Many have died."
Everyone grimaced at the reminder
'why does the king of raon kingdom even has a connection with hunters, i am sure everyone has this doubt but keeping quiet ' Taylor pondered as he cant help but think
Too many had died in such a short period of time.
The people at the King's Palace, the Flynn Merchant guild leader, there were probably a lot of people dead at the Orsena Estate as well since it was on fire. Most of them would have no relation to this incident.
"Well thats what most of the time happen, instead of the main target the bystanders will be the one affected the most" King shickler said with a frown remembering the war between mermaid and whales
"I have to agree on that royal father" Whitira nodded on his statement
This was basically the first time Cale faced such a situation in this world aside from during the wars.
Everyone look disappointed "Those hunter bastards do whatever they want ha" Rasheel cant help but shout out his anger
'Even though this happen in the surface and not in water i am also getting angry' Whitira clenched her hand
'The Hunters.
What the fuck are these sons of bitches thinking?
Then there is young lady Orsena and the second son of the Flynn Merchant Guild. And what of the king?'
"The king is just being mute" Deruth sarcastically said while Violan gave a side eye to Zed
The king definitely showed a lot of hatred for the Hunters.
"!"
'I couldnt help but think the Cale Henituse know more than what he show' Zed thought as he narrowed his eyes on cale and return his gaze on the screen
As a result, it was extremely unlikely for him to have sided with the Hunters.
Numerous theories popped into Cale's mind.
'Did the second son and young lady Orsena really side with the Hunters and try to abduct the king?
"Didnt his majesty said that the Orsena family is the hunting dogs" Bud asked even though he is drinking his gaze was clear as the sky
"Maybe some internal conflict happened thats what i have been thinking " Taylor joined in with his theory
Is that why the king was either abducted or ran away?'
"Hmm?"
Cale flinched mid thought and pulled a black book out of his inner pocket.
"Is'nt that god of death Divine item" Cage cringed at that book
"It is my child"
"Please stop intruding their convo.... idiot"
we can also hear some heel sound which not only made the gods silent even the people in the room silent
It was the God of Death's divine item.
< Endable >
Fredo groaned "What" while sui khan smile become wider and choi jung soo smiled mischievously
It was the book where the word, Endable, had been written.
That book suddenly started to react.
It heated up and started gently shaking.
"Mm."
Cale got chills on his back for some reason. He placed the video communication device on a table and quickly opened the book.
"Whats with the book now" Bud asked with a curious gaze even though he spoke like a whine
Chhh.
Once Cale touched the book, the pages moved on their own and stopped on a page.
"...Huh?"
It wasn't there.
< Endable >
The word describing where Lee Soo Hyuk was had disappeared from the book.
"Huh!?" Everyone cant help but gasp
'I-isnt he suppose to be in Earth' Alberu thought as he didnt know full detail
Something else was written there instead. It was not in Korean but in the language of this world.
< Puzzle City >
"I-is he in puzzle city now?" rok soo asked with a shaking voice 'How tho'
But those words were slowly disappearing as well.
New words took their spot.
"...Hu......"
< Huiss City >
Sui khan gave a big smile
"You are so late Cale so i itself come to you" Sui khan said with a big smile confusing everyone
"Wait what is happening here" Eruhaben asked curiously
"You will know everything soon sir" Sui khan gave a small tired smile which was not suited for a 13 yr kid
"The capital?"
Cale jerked his head up.
"Here?"
'He's at the Roan Kingdom's capital?
The reincarnated team leader is here?
"Reincarnated?? just like my mother" Rok soo shouted out
"Yes but no i have my memories" Sui khan replied and Sheritt curiously asked "How? "
Sui khan replied "Well i did some errands to god of death thats why"
"Wait wait wait that bastard did that?" Cage cant believe her eyes
"Yea atleast he is useful in something" Cale said with a small smile as he can hear sob from somewhere
How?'
"...I thought that he would be a baby."
"Pftt ofcourse he is still a baby considering even i am older than him" Choi jung soo said a bright smile and sui khan smile kinda twitch
"Now team leader you should call me hyu-"
"Finish the sentence I dare you" Sui khan said that as choi jung soo become silent
'Is he much older than I thought?'
Cale had thought that the team leader had reincarnated not too long ago.
However, would a baby be able to go from Endable and come to the Roan Kingdom's capital?
"If a small child run even a great and mighty dragon like me will be scared" Dodori said his honest thought
'Maybe?
If it is the team leader, something like that does sound possible.
"Woah you can do that?" Raon asked with a sparkling eyes
"No i cant sadly"
No, either way-'
"Here?"
'He came here?'
– What's here?
The tired face of the crown prince appeared on the screen of the video communication device at that moment.
'Why i am always the clueless one here' Alberu clicked his tongue
CHAPTER 4: IT'S EXPLODING. AN INCIDENT IS EXPLODING (4)
"The Flynn Merchant Guild leader is dead. The second child has run away."
Two sentences were enough.
'Those sentences is enough to spread rumors' Billos thought with a grim expression
– I'll send people over right away.
* * *
The capital, Huiss City.
The atmosphere in the capital was extremely dull, unlike the blue sky despite it not being long since they heard about the victory at Puzzle City.
"I don't see smoke anymore."
"...The Orsena Estate was on fire, right?"
"Yes. My next-door neighbor Charles said he saw it."
"Of course it will cause the citizen to spread rumors" Pen mumbled
"Ho. What the-!"
The man stopped talking and quickly closed his mouth.
Clack. Clack. Clack.
Around ten soldiers fully clad in armor were walking by in formation.
Soldiers were efficiently moving around like this all around the capital right now.
Furthermore, a knight on a horse was moving quicker than they normally did in the capital.
"...Hey."
The man who closed his mouth asked his close friend in an extremely quiet voice.
"Aside from the Duke's Estate, at the palace earlier-"
'Ofcourse the citizens know more and spread about it' Bud thought
"It looks like it is spreading so quickly" Deruth voiced out
"Well we cant control and it is something that the people will eventually know" Violan replied
'I am starting to get a headache' Alberu sighed internally
"......."
"Didn't you hear a loud noise coming from there? It sounded like something was crumbling down."
"...I don't know either."
The eyes of the person who responded were slightly shaking.
The palace and the Orsena Estate, which was located in the area with all the residences of the nobles... Neither location was close to her house.
That was why all she knew was that something had happened.
"I guess we should probably close for the day."
"Tsk why are we reacting from these people pov" Rasheel grumbled 'I would rather sleep'
"Just shut up this is how it should be" Dodori complained and Rasheel let out a funny Huh sound
"You dont know? of course you dont know hmp. Every novel with a amazing Mc will go like this" Dodori started to say his own story to Rasheel while Rasheel sleep intensify
Her close friend quickly put the goods back into the store. She started to move to help him when she saw someone coming toward them and her eyes opened wide. The shop owner, who was putting away the stand, reacted the same way.
"Oh! You are-"
"Hello, mister. You still have some medicinal roots, right?"
"Huh? Y, yes!"
"Please organize all of the ones you have and send them to our estate!"
"Hey, wait a minute."
The medicinal roots
