Adalie woke up in a good mood, stretching her small paws before looking at the room where she grew surprised. Hanging on the ceiling, which TCF! Choi Han, TCF! Ron, and TCF! Beacrox spun around like a ball, were the two Clopehs who didn't even looked faze at what was happening. Instead, they kept murmuring about TCF! Cale (who was sleeping) and how amazing he was. On the other side of the room were both Toonkas who were physically fighting as the rest of the people just looked tired or was sleeping.

"The fuck happened while I was asleep?!" Adalie explained in shock before rubbing her forehead. "Never mind, I don't want to ruin my mood so let's just watch."

However, before she played the next episode, she placed both Toonkas in a separate transparent room in a corner (what was she thinking when she placed the two fighting addicts together?) and did the same with the two Clopehs whose mouths she taped shut. After that, she ordered those awake to wake their sleeping neighbors up before finally grabbing the remote and playing the episode.

Chapter 119: Nice to meet you (2)

Cale couldn't help but wonder.

'Do I have some unknown affinity with animals?'

"Why the random thought?" TBOAH! Valentino asked with a blink, not expecting the weird thought at all. He knows that whatever TCF! says/thinks are always, well usually, important but this time around, he can't understand why.

"Oh!" TBOAH! Lock exclaimed. "Could it be because you're surrounded by beast people, young master-nim?"

"It is." TCF! Cale confirmed. "I've been meeting with all kinds of beast people that I wondered if I was a zoo keeper or something in my past life."

Some arrogant people looked offended by being compared to animals trapped in cages while others didn't care at all.

He could not understand why he kept getting tangled up with so many different types of Beast people. Furthermore, they were all Beast people who were either struggling or in danger.

"That's true." TCF! Shickler nod in agreement after observing TCF! Cale's beast companions. From the kittens who were abandoned to the Whales who needed help defeating the mermaid and even people who needed help like the not-so-young swordsmaster, TCF! Cale helped them when no one was willing to. It was actually a wonder why the young master believed himself to be a bad person when all he wanted in return was them helping him which, in his opinion, was normal because there was no such thing as 'free food'. Besides, even if he did scam some people, he used those wealth for the greater good and not for his own self so it really wasn't an awful act. And, from what he had gathered, the hidden wealth the young master acquired was just going to end up rotting anyway so why not use it properly?  

'It's not like I'm running an animal hospital or something.'

"You might want to start now." Soo Hyuk said with a teasing smile. "While there aren't that many people yet."

"Don't jinx me." TCF! Cale groaned. "The tiger tribe will be the last beast people I help."

"You do realize you just jinxed yourself, right?" Rok Soo asked in amusement which made TCF! Cale groan in despair louder. 

"Shut up." he said while palming his hands. "That's not true at all."

"We should teach him to stop being in denial." TBOAH! Cale freely said while drinking some alcohol. 

"That's like trying to teach a fish to walk." Jung Soo said with a sigh. "Impossible."

"We can at least try." Rok Soo said with a determined look. 

"Give up." Jung Soo said. 

"True." TBOAH! Cale quickly changed his stance. "Remember how we tried teaching him to be trash?"

"...Yeah, let's not bother." Rok Soo agreed while remembering all their efforts that was a waste. 

Cale looked around him. Ron and Beacrox were already standing by Witira and Cale so that they could see if anybody was approaching them. They really were a sharp father-son duo.

Both Rons and Beacroxs dangerously smiled at this, proud that they were called 'sharp' and that they didn't lose their instincts from hiding so long.

Cale's gaze turned back toward Witira.

"What is the information that you want to trade?"

Witira used her tongue to lick her lower lips after seeing Cale's gaze. Her mouth was going dry after seeing how Cale looked like he had no interest at all in her information.

"If I were to one day make a deal with you, crown prince, please do not send him along." TCF! Valentino said. "I'd probably go home broke and no deal."

"...I'll try." TCF! Alberu made no promises. Even if he pitied the other one, he still had the obligation to do anything he can for the Roan Kingdom and using TCF! Cale to his advantage was one of the things he could do that will assure him that the possible deal will be beneficial to them.

However, Cale's mind was just in a state of chaos right now.

"You're very good at keeping a poker face, young master." TCF! Witira praised as her other self looked at her in pity, internally glad she didn't have to deal with someone like TCF! Cale who, while bringing a lot of help, also brings a lot of negative things. 

'What a mess it would be if I get tangled up with Tigers too.'

TCF! Cale nod with his screen thoughts which made people who saw shake their head. 

"I apologize if we were inconveniencing you, young master." TCF! Gashan apologized which made TCF! Cale flinch in shock.

"I-it's fine." TCF! Cale said while looking away. "I will benefit from your presence, anyway."

"Tsundere." TBOAH! Lily said while pointing at TCF! Cale who, along with Rok Soo and TBOAH! Cale, flinched in shock. 

"W-who taught you that?" TBOAH! Cale asked with a sweet smile. "I need to talk with them for a moment." 

'Well, someone's going to be killed tonight.' Adalie thought. 'Or, well, brutally beaten.'

'Did he forget others said the same word before?' TBOAH! Glenn thought.

Cale was thinking about how horrible the future would be as Witira finally started to speak.

"Actually, you do not necessarily need to give us any information. It is us sharing information with you."

Cale's expression became odd.
Nothing in life was free.

"Well, while that is true, I believe you deserve to learn about this information for free due to how much help you offered us." Paseton said with a smile. 

He continued to stare at Witira before he proceeded to speak.

"I'll at least listen to what you have to say."

Witira nodded her head and started to speak. She recited the information she had gathered while patrolling the Eastern continent's coast.

"The organization you mentioned before, Arm, has taken full control of the Eastern continent's underworld."

Ron's eyes headed toward Witira's lips.

Similarly, TBOAH! Ron and TBOAH! Beacrox along with those from the Eastern continent frowned in annoyance at having their place, their home, secretly and slowly being destroyed without their knowledge. 

"The Tiger tribe discovered that a portion of Arm had crossed over to the Western continent. While gathering more information about that, they learned that a large number of experts have already arrived on the Western continent."

Cale nodded his head.
It made sense. The magic spearman, the blonde sword master, all of them were rare experts.

"And yet, they all left or lost against young master Cale's group." TBOAH! Cage mockingly said as she smiled at the enemies who looked annoyed or downright murderous.

"Where the fuck are the two when I need them." TCF! White Star sighed.

"The two?" Adalie asked before realizing who her leader was talking about. "Ah, you mean the bear king and the other one? I'm too lazy to send them here."

"You bit-" Adalie muted the enemy side for a moment, not wanting to hear both White Stars curse. 

Witira observed Cale nodding his head as she continued to speak.

"And they discovered that Arm's First Battle Brigade, one of their many battle brigades, will conduct a large scale move in the near future."

'Hmm?'

Cale, who was just blankly nodding his head, stopped moving.

"Human, you should listen to what others say!" Raon scolded TCF! Cale who only blankly nodded. 

"Cale!" Jour, who noticed TCF! Cale not really taking the little dragon's words, acted. 

"I will, Mom." he unconsciously replied while sitting up straight which made his other hyungs laugh. 

"...What did you say?"

Cale wondered if he had heard correctly.

'What is coming over?'

"The First Battle Brigade. The Tiger tribe is certain that the entire brigade is getting ready to move."
"...Where?"
"Here."
"The Western continent?"
"Yes, the Western continent."

'Ho.'

Cale was at a loss for words after hearing this information that was much larger in scale than he had expected. He then raised his hand to cover his neck because it was getting the chills.

"Hah!" TBOAH! Adin scoffed. "Guess you aren't that smart, after all."

"But he'll still destroy your plans!" TBOAH! Bud shouted. 

"Why can he speak? I thought they were silenced?" TBOAH! Cage asked in irritation.

"Oh, that was only until the White Stars stop cursing which ended earlier than I expected." Adalie explained with a frown. "Sadly, I can't mute them forever until they do something bad like the two Clopehs over there."

Witira noticed the worried expression on Cale's face.

'I knew he would worry about it.'

She started to feel warm thinking that Cale was seriously worried about the Western continent.

"Here comes the misunderstanding~" TCF! Cage said with a sing-song voice. 

However, Cale was worried about himself, not the continent.

No one reacted negatively to this statement, knowing that whenever TCF! Cale say 'me', it pertains to his allies.

"Of course he is." TCF! Deruth nod. "It's our family motto, after all."

"Young master Cale, that is why."

'That is why? There's more?'

Cale looked toward Witira, who brought over information he did not want, like he was looking at a ticking bomb. However, Witira continued to speak, as if she was trying to resolve the concern on Cale's mind.

"The Tiger tribe and the Whales are currently running around gathering more information. The Tiger tribe expects the brigade to move this winter."

Cale started to frown. Witira had said that the Tiger tribe was close to extinction because of Arm. So why were they poking their noses around digging up information? Were they aiming to get revenge?

"We were." TCF! Gashan agreed. "Also because Nature told me that my tribe would find a home soon so we thought it would be a good idea to have some information as a leverage because we didn't know if the one who would help us will be good or bad."

"The Tiger tribe had a suggestion for us when they shared that information with us."

Cale quickly started to speak. He had a feeling that he should not hear the details of their suggestion.

"And my instinct was correct." TCF! Cale said with a sigh. "It bought me a new batch of trouble."

"I see. So, what is the information you want from me?"

That was his way of trying to brush it aside. However, it was for naught, as Witira nodded her head and described the suggestion.

"What they suggested was that, the moment the First Battle Brigade reaches the center of the ocean..."

Cale started to frown and looked down at Witira's waist.

Tap. Tap.

Witira was caressing the whip wrapped around her waist as she slowly continued to speak.

"We kill them all."

Some of the kind ones flinched while others who loved to take revenge smirked.

Cale let out a deep sigh.

He finally understood why the secret organization worked with the mermaids in order to try to take control of the sea route. It was so that they could move their members to the Western continent safely.

Every word that Witira was saying sounded like thunder in Cale's ears.

"The Tiger tribe thinks we should get rid of them and leave no traces behind. The ocean will be advantageous for us because we will be able to reduce the number of injuries on our side, as well more easily capture some prisoners to pry out more information."
"...Really?"
"Yes. It is a very entertaining plan."

Hoo hoo.

Witira's laugh roamed around Cale's head.

'They're so scary.'

"Says the one who blew an entire island because he was annoyed." TBOAH! Bud said blankly. 

"That's different." TCF! Cale countered. 

"How is that any different?!" many exclaimed. 

"I mean, it's the truth." TBOAH! Rei Stecker agreed. "What TCF! Cale did was way scarier."

Arm was one of the branches of the secret organization. That meant that their First Battle Brigade would be very strong. For that reason, Cale did not want to get involved with this oceanic battle.

"I'm betting that he will join one way or the other." TBOA! Hans said to TBOAH! Rex who shook his head.

"No thank you." he said. "I'm sure the young master would be forced to join."

TBOAH! Hans only frowned, sad that he couldn't earn some money before looking horrified at his thoughts. It seems that the young master influenced him. 

That was why Cale asked his earlier question once again.

"So, what is the information that you want from me?"
"Mm."

Witira did not respond right away. She peeked at Cale for a bit, before cautiously starting to speak.

"The Tiger tribe is looking for some information in return for spying on Arm until winter time. To be honest with you, we want to provide them with that information if possible, because we need to get revenge on that organization as well."

Cale just silently stared at Witira instead of answering. Witira then continued to speak.

"It actually isn't a very difficult piece of information to get. However, I thought you would have more knowledge about it than us."

'Knowledge?'

Cale did not hide his wariness at the fact that the word, 'information,' had changed to, 'knowledge.'

"How the fuck can you even notice the words change when you were in a nervous state of mind?!" TCF! Archie shouted. 

"Not to mention that most would ignore the switch because they meant almost the same anyway." Taylor added as TCF! Cale shrugged. He also didn't understand how his brain worked.

However, Witira slowly started to explain what she needed.

"They are looking for a large area that does not have many people. As for the temperature, the cooler it is, the better. Furthermore, they need a forest, and it would be best if there isn't any ruling power in the area. But it still needs to have a way to connect with the human world so that they can exchange any necessary items."

"Harris village." TBOAH! Choi Han murmured in recognition of the description stated. How could he not when he lived there for tens of years? 

Cale could not understand why the Tiger Tribe would need such information.

"Why do they want to know about such a place?'
"So that the Tiger tribe can move there."
"Ah. In that case, there is a-."

Cale could not finish his sentence as he looked toward Witira.

'What are the Tigers trying to do?"

"Yes, it makes sense they want information on such a location because they want to move. That is why I was hoping you might know of a suitable place."

Cale could not say anything.
Did he know of such a place?

"Of course you do." Hong said in glee.

"Silly human." Raon laughed. "Isn't it familiar?"

A place without people nor a ruling power.
Cool, but not cold, along with a forest.
At the same time, has easy access to trade with humans.

Raon's voice shouted out in his head. He sounded like a contestant on a game show who was about to answer the winning question.

"How cute!" Pendrick exclaimed in awe which made those near him move away a little from the volume of his voice. Really, with how quite the elves were behaving, they forget they were still elves in a room filled with dragons.

– There is such a place! The Forest of Darkness!

Cale naturally ignored Raon's answer.

"I'm not sure. I can't think of anywhere right now."

Why did he ignore Raon?

Would Witira be asking because she doesn't know the answer? The reason she was asking like this was because she wanted Cale to be the one to bring up the Forest of Darkness.

"...Really?"

See? Witira's expression right now was one that seemed to be saying that she knows Cale knows the answer to her question. She desperately seemed to want Cale to say it.

"Really, Cale, you should know that she also knows about the place." Jung Soo said like scolding a child. "That's why you shouldn't lie to her." 

– Human, you don't know? I do! Just repeat after me. Forest. Of. Darkness!

"Aigoo, you poor bastard." Eruhaben sighed. "You really have to try so hard to achieve your dream, huh."

'Nope. Not doing it.'

"Sorry, young master, but you did end up doing it again!" Maes said with a bright smile as some laughed at TCF! Cale's deadpan look.

"Yeah. I can't think of anywhere right now."

Cale's expression seemed realistic. He really seemed like he didn't know. 

"You really should join acting classes." On told her father. "You'll be the best."

"Yeah!" Hong agreed. "You already have the looks and charsa...charima..."

"Charista!" Raon helped his brother.

"It's charisma." Sheritt gently said.

Witira lightly bit down on her lips before nodding her head.

"In that case, could you let us know if you remember such a place next time we meet?"
"Sure. I'll do that."

Cale had no plans of doing that.

TCF! Cale ignored the stares he was getting.

"Young master Cale, it's rude to lie!" TCF! Amiru scolded him. While she didn't mind when he lies, he felt pity towards the desperate look the Whale princess (soon to be queen) had on the screen.

"I'll try." TCF! Cale said, not being able to say no when everyone was looking at him with expectations. Of course, besides his brothers who started betting how long it would last.

'She's going to ask me to let the Tigers live there if I say the Forest of Darkness.'

"I will." TCF! Witira nod. "That's why I wanted you to mention it first, young master Cale, so that I can easily ask you and you wouldn't be able to say no."

'...She's also scheming.' many thought. 

Of course, the Whale tribe would not ask for that favor without compensation. They would probably compensate him fairly, however, Cale did not want that.

"Hah?!" TCF! Alberu accidently said out loud, shocked at hearing TCF! Cale not wanting to be compensated. 

Taking in the Tiger tribe that wants to get revenge on the secret organization was like jumping in front of a train.

"What's a train?" TBOAH! Basen asked.

"It's a moving transportation." TCF! Choi Han explained.

'Well, it would be beneficial to have the Tigers with us when the Northern Knights come down.'

But he still didn't think this was the right answer.
He already had a Wolf Battle Squad.

"A little more won't hurt." Mila said with an amused smile while seeing how hard TCF! Cale tried to convince himself not to help the tiger tribe.

By the time Cale organized his thoughts, Witira started to say something else.

"Oh, the organization is going to send a couple of people across the ocean first in an attempt to find a sea route where they can avoid us."

She sounded very casual. Cale immediately asked back.

"You're just going to let them do that?"
"Yes. We will just observe them."

The reason for this was obvious.

"Why?" TBOAH! Toonka asked in confusion as his counterpart laughed.

"Hah!" TCF! Toonka said with pride. "I'm smarter than you!"

"No, you're not!" TBOAH! Toonka said in denial.

"Of course I am!" TCF! Toonka argued back. "I know the reason why. It's because the whale wants to see where those bastards will go."

Both Harols couldn't conceal their pride/shock at TCF! Toonka's answer.

'He's learning to be better.' TCF! Harol thought with a smile, glad he wouldn't have to suffer much anymore while the vitality of heart looked at him in envy. 

'Good for you to not have to deal with a complete moron anymore.' the vitality of the heart thought bitterly. 'While I'm still stuck working my dead ass off for this sacrificial bastard who I... care BUT he annoys me.'

Cale immediately answered back.

"You want to see where they go."
"Yes."

He knew that was the case.

The Whales probably wanted to know where they were headed. Those members probably wouldn't head right to Arm's Western base, but they should be able to gather some information about it.

"Alright, work ha-."

Work hard. That was what he wanted to say before ending the conversation. However, he looked around, feeling a lot of gazes on him.

"Poor young master." TBOAH! John said in pity, having a hunch on where the conversation would go. 

"You really worked hard." TBOAH! Alberu couldn't help but say to TCF! Cale. "You deserve to rest for a long time."

"Thank you!" TCF! Cale said in joy. "At least someone understands me!"

'Aigoo.'

Ron, Beacrox, Choi Han, Lock, and even Pendrick.
Although Rosalyn, Hans, On, and Hong were not here, the majority of his battle strength were all staring at him. All of them were people who had negative feelings about Arm.

'But it is still too much.'

Cale found it odd that their level of anger seemed to have increased,

"Why did it increase?" TBOAH! Lily asked in curiosity.

"You'll see soon, young miss." TCF! Ron answered with his usual smile.

however, he could only start to speak again after seeing Ron and Choi Han's cold gazes.

"Yes, work hard. You'll share the information with me?"
"Of course."
"Good."

Choi Han was staring at him and Witira. He looked like he was ready to pick up his sword and run wild. Ron was clenching his dagger tightly.

'Does that old man still hold a grudge for his arm?'

"Who wouldn't?" TCF! Hannah rhetorically asked. 

"Yeah, if someone cuts off my arm, I would make sure there will be nothing left of them when I'm done." TBOAH! Hannah nod.

However, the cowardly Cale ended up having to say one more thing.

"Funny how you are described a coward when you're the one who will end up standing in the frontlines." TBOAH! Litana said.

"Ahem, let me know as soon as you find out where they are going."

Cale peeked around once more.

Choi Han nodded his head in satisfaction, while Ron started to smile and mumble.

"...I need to make them cough up blood and starve to death."

'Such scary words!'

Cale, who had coughed up blood and starved after using the fire thunderbolt, started to shiver after hearing those words.

"Go make them suffer!" Dodori cheered as Mila didn't know what to feel. Did she feel happy that her son was starting to become a dragon that was known to be vicious or disappointed that he didn't keep his innocence. Well, not like she can talk because she herself wanted to tear the bastards with her own hands.

He then started to think.

'These people really are too much for a coward like me to handle.'

"You'll learn to deal with them." TBOAH! Cale heartlessly said. "You will end up spending a lot of time together, after all."

"Umm, young master Cale."
"What is it?"

Witira pointed to a spot behind Cale. Her action made Cale turn around, only to see the Golden Turtle shell shining in the sun.

"Is that your ship?"

Witira's voice was shaking.

"The fuck?!" TCF! Bud exclaimed in shock as others felt their jaw drop. Because they were all focused on the conversation, no one paid attention to the surrounding. "Are you starting a war or what?!"

"That's just for insurance." TCF! Cale said while waving his hand carelessly. "It's not like I'll suddenly declare war or something."

'You might as well do with how much things you have prepared!' many thought inside their hearts. 

Cale did not know this as he nodded his head.

"Yes. To be more accurate, it is a ship that belongs to our territory. You figured it out right away."

Cale pointed to Mueller, who was fidgeting off to the side without being able to approach them.

"He made it."

Flick.

Cale's flicked his index finger as a signal for Mueller to approach, and Mueller quickly ran over. This Dwarf and Rat half-blood were still short, but he had gotten a bit plump.

"Young master-nim, great to see you again. Have you been well? Hee hee."

Mueller, who was smiling as he greeted Cale, was much less scared than before. Cale was shocked, but he liked it like this. This was better than having Mueller being scared of everything.

"It is annoying to deal with a terrified sla-serv-underling." TCF! White Star agreed. "Makes you want to kill them for fun."

"Yes, I have been well. On and Hong want to see you. The four of us will have dinner together at some point."

Hiccup.

Mueller suddenly started to hiccup. His shoulders closed in as he cautiously started to speak.

"D, did the two respected kitten-nims come with you?"
"Yes. They keep talking about you. They must be really excited to see you again."

Mueller's face became pale.

"What did you two do for him to react like that?" TCF! Beacrox asked in confusion.

"Nothing!" both the kittens said with an innocent smile.

"Yes, of course you two did nothing!" TBOAH! Hans cooed at the two. "He probably just felt scared because he knows your stronger than him."

Cale did not care about this as he introduced Mueller to Witira.

"He is a Dwarf and Rat half-blood and is extremely talented. Right, Mueller?"

Both Witira and Cale turned to look at Mueller. Mueller flinched after seeing Witira's beauty, before vigorously nodding his head and starting to shout.

"Yes sir! This ship is designed to have the strongest offensive capabilities and will dominate the seas in the future. You will never be able to find another ship like this!"

Witira nodded her head.
Even she could tell that the golden ship in front of her had extremely strong defense. Although she could not tell how strong the offensive capabilities of the ship will be, she knew that it would be completed properly, since Cale was in charge of it.

'Young master Cale really has good foresight.'

"It's just because he read it from a novel." TCF! Adin said, not wanting to praise an enemy.

"Please, he can destroy you all without any knowledge." Adalie defended her favorite tra-character. "Besides, his knowledge was only minimal. He planned everything by using his brain unlike you all who couldn't even keep their secrets hidden."

"...What?!" the enemies shouted in shock after registering the panda's words. 

"What the fuck do you mean?!" TBOAH! Elisneh demanded but was met with silence.

Witira was amazed at how Cale was already ready for naval warfare.

"Young master Cale, you really are amazing."
"... Me?"
"Yes."

Mueller stopped talking once he saw that Witira and Cale were chatting with each other once again.

He wanted to explain that this ship had the greatest defense in the world, however, he did not have the moment to do that.

"How... pitiful." TCF! Gilbert felt himself pitying the half-rat who didn't get any attention as the dragon half-blood felt like the statement was too close to home.

As he stood there disappointed, Cale asked him a question.

"The blueprints for the villa?"
"Ah, they are almost completed, sir!"

Cale started to smile.
Cale was talking about the blueprints for Cale's new villa that would be built on the Ubarr coast.
It was a house that would allow him to safely enjoy the slacker life, even during a war. The details of this dream house were being described by Mueller.

"I plan to expand the basement as much as possible while being as sturdy as possible. It will also have an extremely strong defense!"

Pat, pat.

Cale leaned over to pat the short Mueller on the shoulder.

"You'll need to give it your all to make it."
"Yes sir! I will definitely! I will definitely get it done!"
"Good. I will trust you."

The word, 'trust,' made Mueller turn even more pale.

"..." no one knew what to say. While TCF! Cale didn't try to, he definitely appeared intimidating. 

However, Witira was amazed.

'Although they are calling it a villa, it sounds more like he is making a secret base.'

"What nonsense are you saying?!" TCF! Cale blurted out without manners. "It's just a villa."

A sturdy building with a large basement. It was perfect for a secret base. Witira could see the others behind Cale as well. Choi Han continued to nod his head with a smile on his face. The others seemed pretty relaxed as well.

"...Let's switch back." TCF! Cale told Rok Soo who shook his head.

"No can do." Rok Soo said in amusement. "The contract has been set in stone."

"It isn't!" TCF! Cale denied before turning to Adalie in desperation. "Bring the god of death here. I want to speak with him."

"I'm sorry, but he doesn't want to meet you." Adalie said with an apologetic smile. "He says that you would kill him the moment he appears."

"Tch." TCF! Cale said in displeasure, not denying that he would kill the god as others looked at him with either admiration or shock.

'They really are special.'

Witira did not share her thoughts as she turned to speak to Cale, who was finished speaking to Mueller.

"Will you be leaving tomorrow?"
"That is the plan."

It was almost one year since Cale had last visited the Whipper Kingdom. But there was one other thing Cale needed to do before heading back.

***

Cale returned to the Magic Tower right before a year had gone by.

"Young master-nim, we're glad to see you again after such a long time."

Cale shook the hand of the person in front of him.
This was the former liege of the Magic Tower's secret son, the one who was the child of a Whipper Kingdom's citizen and a mage, the unfortunate person who could not use mana.
He was the crazy bastard who was one of Toonka's top advisors.
The man in front of Cale was Harol Kodiang.

"...What?!" both Toonkas yelled as the Harols in the room only looked at the floor in shame, fearing that he would be kicked out.

"Why didn't you tell me?!" TCF! Toonka shouted. "We could have won the war faster!"

"...You're not angry at me?" TCF! Harol hesitantly asked.

"Why would I?" TCF! Toonka asked in confusion. "You helped me a lot! Who cares about your blood."

TBOAH! Harol looked at his Toonka who only nod while smiling at him.

Both Harols felt that the burden they've been carrying for so long was gone and felt teary eyes but didn't let the tears fall.

"Harol, long time no see."

The man who had a total hatred of magic seemed much better than a year ago.

"Where is Toonka?"
"I am right here!"

Many flinched at how loud the voice was.

Cale let go of Harol's hand and looked toward the sound of the voice.

Screech.

The rusty iron gate opened and the large Toonka walked out of the building.

Toonka was coming out of the Magic Tower.
This building, which was a reminder of the terrible past for the Whipper Kingdom's citizens, was surrounded by weeds.

"You became the Commander-in-Chief."
"Hahaha! Yes, I am the Commander-in-Chief."

Toonka laughed at Cale's statement and answered back with excitement. His eyes were sparkling as he looked at Cale.

"That is why I want to end this reminder of the past before I start working as the Commander-in-Chief."

Toonka definitely gave off the vibe of a crazy bastard.

Both Toonkas didn't even feel anything with it because they knew they were one. Still, they believed it was better to be a crazy bastard instead of a boring/weak loser.

Toonka pointed toward the Magic Tower behind him as he asked Cale.

"You will destroy it, just as you promised?"

Part of the deal last year was that Cale would destroy the Magic Tower.
Toonka looked like he would kill Cale if Cale did not plan to hold up his end of the deal.

"Kakaka, of course I would!" TCF! Toonka laughed while confirming what the narrator said, ignoring the glares he was receiving. In fact, he liked the glares as he smirked at them challengingly. "Anyone want to fight?"

"Later." Adalie sternly said when some people were about to accept.

Of course, that could never happen because of Choi Han and the others behind Cale, but that would be what Toonka would want to do.

Some sighed in relief, glad to know that nothing would happen to the young master even if he broke his promise.

"You see."

Cale started to speak. Neither Toonka nor Cale had changed much in this past year. Cale then continued on with his usual indifference.

"I am someone who keeps my word."

Both of them started to smile.

"I'll make it quite the sight."

'And I'll make a profit in the process.'

"Of course you would." TBOAH! Ron said with a smile.

The value of the documents and the seed he had found in the underground lab last year had gone up by quite a bit.

"Kahahahahaha."

Toonka let out a loud laugh. He seemed to like Cale's words quite a bit. At that moment, Raon started to speak into Cale's head.

– Human! Human! You know...

Cale flinched at Raon's sudden words. He always got uncomfortable whenever Raon acted like this. What was he planning to say this time?

– To be honest with you, I enjoy breaking things! That is why I am very excited right now! Let's blow it away!

Raon was excited while thinking about blowing up this historic monument. Raon's statement actually made Cale start to smile.

Some blushed at how hot the young master looked while others felt disturbed with what the smile entailed. 

'We're actually thinking the same thing for once.'

Raon and Cale were both feeling the same way.

Honestly speaking, Cale was excited as well.

He was excited about the show that would soon take place.

"Now that the episode is done, I will give you all five hours to spar before resting so that we can continue this the next day." Adalie said. "Of course, as usual, TCF! Cale will guide you all to whatever you want to do. Bye!"

Adalie smirked mischievously as she disappeared, happy to dump her work on TCF! Cale when she suddenly couldn't move. She froze and slowly turned to look at TCF! Cale who was sadistically smiling at her.

"The same move won't work on me twice." he said as he ordered the fire of destruction and the sky eating water who were holding one of her arms each to bring her to him.

'Uh-oh.' Adalie thought with panic.
