Adalie wanted to cry as she pressed play, shivering from the predatory glares she was receiving by bloodthirsty people. Maybe it was a good idea to give the remote to one of the Koreans, specifically Soo Hyuk or Rok Soo, the responsible Koreans. She doesn't believe that she can last long if the group continues to glare at her for every single stupid thing TCF! Cale, mister 'I will achieve my slacker life by working my ass off every day', will do in the future.

'Is this how I die? Being threatened by the ones I love?' Adalie thought as she wailed in her heart. 'I still want to meet new people from different worlds!!'

Chapter 149: Vicious (4)

Swiiiiiish- Swiiiiiiiish-

There were two whirlwinds roaring on top of Cale's palm. Cale felt a presence and turned to see Raon looking at him.

"I told you I'm okay."

Even after Cale said that Raon continued to look at him with a sharp gaze that looked like it could cause sparks.

"Aw, Raon-nim loves his father!" TCF! Rosalyn cooed at the cuteness as many nod in agreement.

"Of course!" Raon said with a prideful look, already accepting the fact that TCF! Cale was his father like the kittens. "If I don't take care of human, he will do extremely recka...recklesh...reckless things!"

"I don't do reckless things." TCF! Cale said with a slight frown, not understanding what his son meant. He never did anything remotely reckless because he was the strategist of both worlds and not being careful, even slightly, can cause deaths. 

"My dear friend, you're very hopeless." TBOAH! Cale said while patting TCF! Cale's back as if comforting him.  

"I was told that there's a fine line between optimism and denial." Rok Soo said with a smart tone while looking at TCF! Cale with fascination. "You proved her wrong."

"You bastards." TCF! Cale cursed with a vein popping on his left forehead as many laughed at their skits.

"You three, well five including my nephew and his friend, can become comedians." TBOAH! Choi Han commented with a slight smile on his lips.

"No thank you." the two Cales and Rok Soo rejected while Jung Soo and Soo Hyuk contemplated his words.

"It might be fun." Jung Soo said which earned him three glares.

Raon started to speak.

"Your arms were shaking just now. Don't use too much of the ancient power. Weak human, you need to do some strength training."

"Good job for paying attention to dad, little brother!" On praised while patting Raon's head. 

"Yeah!" Hong agreed with an enthusiastic nod. 

"Cale, please have mercy!" whined the vitality of heart with crocodile tears flowing from his eyes. "Stop overworking and abusing your ancient powers and your body!"

"I don't know about you all but I feel bad about young master Cale's powers." TBOAH! Lock commented with a pitying look. 

"Agreed!" both Buds immediately said. 

"You should pay us!" the fire suggested with greedy eyes.

"No, you won't even use it." TCF! Cale immediately denied.

"Are we going to ignore how the little dragon suggested for young master Cale to do strength training like that would help his control with ancient powers?" Dodori asked but was ignored by many because they were either too busy suggesting ways for TCF! Cale to stop abusing his powers or just didn't know the answer. 

'What do the ancient powers have to do with strength training?'

"See, even he questions it." Dodori said, slightly pouting when no one paid him any attention.

Cale questioned Raon's thought process before he ignored Raon in order to look at the people who were in the invisible barrier with him in the air.

Raon didn't even bother protesting, too used with being ignored by his dad in dangerous situations. 

Rosalyn, Choi Han, and Gashan.
The three of them could not say anything as they looked down. Cale looked toward Choi Han and started to speak.

"What are you doing?"

Choi Han and Gashan responded to his question. Rosalyn slowly turned toward Cale as well.

Cale's finger started to move. His index finger was pointing down below.

"How about you go down and fight?"

"Yeah, how can you get your revenge if you don't fight?" TBOAH! Jopis said rhetorically.

"Poor people, shocked at young master-nim's actions that they forgot their goal." TCF! Hans said with a pitying look.  

"They should have already gotten used by it." TCF! Kora said before pausing and thinking. "Actually, no. Young master Cale's actions are always topping his previous works so it's natural that they're always astonished."

"It's a miracle no one has died from the surprises young master Cale gives." TBOAH! Shawn commented.

The shaman Gashan flinched. He then realized that he had been blankly staring down at the Hais Islands.

'Yes, I need to help as well.'

He was the one who had gathered the Tiger tribe and brought them over. Gashan put some strength into the hand that was holding his wooden staff.

"Technically, you don't need to help." TCF! Hannah said, a little upset that her prey would be stolen by others. "I can handle it."

"Sharing is caring, Hannah." TCF! Jack told his sister, not wanting her to get hurt by facing a lot of enemies.

It was at that moment.

"No. Cale-nim, I need to be here to protect you. I don't know when you will get hurt or start coughing up blood again-."

TCF! Cale felt touched that Choi Han cared for him but also annoyed because it wasn't like he coughs and bleeds every single damn time! Meanwhile, both Rok Soo and TBOAH! Cale was still in disbelief over the fact that Choi Han, the ruthless man who punched them many times, can be sweet. Well, not that they can say anything because there really was something special with TCF! Cale who made him impossible to dislike unless they don't have a heart.

Choi Han continued to speak. Gashan opened his eyes to look toward Choi Han with a look of disbelief.

'He is weak?'

"Shocking, right." TCF! Toonka said, remembering his first meeting with the seemingly weak red-haired. 

"I think everyone in this room, at one point in time, thought he was weak." TBOAH! Archie said which made everyone agree, even the enemies.

"He's literally the personification of the saying 'don't judge a book by its cover'." TBOAH! Rei Stecker said.

Gashan could see the whirlwinds roaring in Cale's hands. Who was the one to create all of the whirlpools roaring in the ocean between the Hais Islands?

Even if he himself, Rosalyn, and the Dragon had created the storm, those whirlpools were still dangerous. Gashan was in disbelief at Choi Han's story.
In fact, he thought Cale was amazing for seriously listening to such a story. Cale started to speak.

"It's true, though." TCF! Cale said, not knowing why people believes he was strong. Sure, he had ancient powers and can cause natural disasters but he is far from Choi Han, the dragons, and most of the people in this room's level.

"I may be like that, but I don't think I will cough up blood this time."
"He's right, Choi Han! The great and mighty Raon Miru is here!"
"... Yes. The great and mighty Raon is here as well."

Choi Han nodded his head at the conversation between the human and the Dragon.

"Yes. I understand."

Gashan still had a look of disbelief. There was a hand patting his shoulder. It was Rosalyn. Rosalyn started to speak once Gashan looked toward her.

"Mr. Gashan, let's go."
"... I understand."
Gashan followed Choi Han and Rosalyn down to the islands. Gashan could hear Cale's voice coming from above his head before they split to go to different islands.

"Choi Han, you cannot destroy the island."

"Thank goodness." TCF! Alberu sighed in relief, not wanting to deal with more paperwork when he was already drowning with it. Really, can someone remind him why he wants to be a king again? 

His counterpart, on the other hand, was inwardly sighing in relief at not having TCF! Cale in his world. While it was a shame because he was losing on information and readiness in case of war, he feels that he would die early if he had someone like TCF! Cale beside him because he brings a lot of stress and always seem to want to empty his money. So, in his opinion, it isn't worth it unless he wants white hairs at a young age with no money left. 

Gashan was thinking that Cale was saying all sorts of odd things. At that moment, Choi Han looked up and shouted back.

"Yes Cale-nim. I will be careful."

The old shaman just clenched onto his wooden staff. He did not say anything and instead split away from Rosalyn and Choi Han in order to head toward the Hais Islands with the Tiger tribe.

Swooooooosh-

A chilling noise brushed by his side. A whirlwind had passed by him while heading down. The whirlwind soon crashed into the ocean.

Baaaaang!

The whirlwind dove into the water and started raging inside of the ocean. Gashan clenched onto his wooden staff as he quickly moved down.

"... Oh nature-nim. Please calm my shaking heart."

The shaman used that short prayer to calm himself down.

Similarly, both Gashans also uttered the same prayer in order to calm their excited nerves. 

Cale, who had sent two whirlwinds to block the path of the ships, started to leisurely watch. Thanks to the invisible shield created by Raon, the rain and wind could not affect him.

Although he could not see everything because of the darkness, Raon's thunderbolts allowed him to get a decent grasp of the situation.

"...Wow."

Cale let out a gasp of admiration.

"Wow indeed." TBOAH! Basen murmured while both Lilys had their eyes glued at the screen.

"I really want to be like swordsman-nim when I grow up!" TCF! Lily proclaimed.

"Not your brother?" Jung Soo asked.

"No." TCF! Lily answered. "Because I want to be the one to protect him!"

"Yeah!" TBOAH! Lily echoed.

"So cute~" many cooed while both Cales and Rok Soo covered their faces, their cheeks becoming red.

Gwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-
The large Whales roared as they rose up to the surface.

Baaaaang!
A mid-sized ship's side broke apart after being hit by three Whales. Cale watched this and gulped.

'Vicious.'

"Only to our enemies, young master Cale!" Paseton exclaimed, having enough of TCF! Cale thinking that they were vicious. While it was true, he didn't want his friend to fear him. "You don't have to worry about anything."

"I know." TCF! Cale said, realizing the reason of Paseton's outburst which made a small smile appear on his lips. "I'm just thinking of what I have observed. This doesn't mean I fear you, though. How can I when you're not scary?"

"Only you will be brave enough to say that to a whale's face." Soo Hyuk said with a laugh. 

"On the contrary, I can do so." TBOAH! White Star said, not liking that he was being left out when he was fated to be a god. 

"Ignoring the radish wannabe guy, I agree with Soo Hyuk." Rok Soo said as many laughed at the white star's new nickname. 

Witira and the other Whales continued to crash into the ships in their whale form. However, it wasn't that they were doing this without considering their own health.

They were using the whales they brought with them to threaten the ships and only crashed into the ships that were trying to get away from the whirlpools in order to strategically guide them toward the Hais Islands.

"Good, don't risk injuring yourself for those stupid people." TBOAH! Litana said with approval. 

"Of course." TCF! Witira said with a nod. "Who would do such an idiotic thing?"

Unconsciously, many turned their eyes to TCF! Cale who looked confused at the looks. 

'I mean, he does injure himself while fighting enemies so technically...' Adalie thought.

Raon shared his thoughts as Cale watched them while thinking they were scary.

"The Whales listen to you very well, human."
"Apparently."

It had been Cale's command.
He just did not expect them to do so well.

"Why wouldn't we follow your words when you haven't let us down?" TCF! Shickler said. "I would be a fool to ignore you."

'Especially since you are going to be the one who will end that bastard.' he thought.

He could see the broken ship through the thunderbolts.

"Aaaaaah!"
"Aaah!"

The people on the ship who could not dodge fell into the ocean.

They could not calm down in the darkness.
Their trip had been fine until the sun had set. But why was all of this suddenly happening?

"Because you messed with the wrong person." TBOAH! Odeus said. 

"What song was that?" Jung Soo asked, thinking a little bit before realizing. "Ah, you shouldn't mess with me, you shouldn't mess with me~."

"You can sing later." TCF! Rosalyn said. "We need to finish this now."

One member flailed in the water and tried to swim toward a wooden plank floating nearby. He thought that doing so would allow him to live.

'Just a little more, almost there!'

The member barely managed to reach the wooden plank with the tips of his fingers. He reached out both hands with all of his strength in order to grab onto the plank. It was at that moment.

"May you rest in...never mind." Pendrick said, remembering that it was an enemy he was watching. An enemy who killed many and who's part of the group who will try to attack them.

'Pendrick... can we leave this place? Everyone's changing for the worst.' TCF! Cale thought while inwardly crying, not sure how many times he wished to leave already. Honestly, what if everyone's personalities change when they leave and become ruthless? He doesn't think he can live while being surrounded with ruthless people.

Splash-

The sound of something moving in the water could be heard.

Shaaaaaaaaaaa-
The sound of rain was also present, but the member could not hear that at all.

Splaaaaaaash-
The sound of something moving in the water became even clear.

"N, no."

The member's hand was shaking as he held on to the wooden plank. He felt like his body that was underwater was starting to stiffen up. Finally, the lifeform that was moving in the water revealed itself.

"Oh shit." TBOAH! Bud cursed, knowing that the member was as good as dead.

"He's got rotten luck." TCF! Glenn said. "He joined the wrong side, attacked the ones he shouldn't have provoked, and got deployed to his death."

Oooooo-

It was the cry of a sad whale.
The whale opened its mouth toward the member of the organization that had killed their young children.

"Ah, ah ah-"

The member could not speak properly as he shivered and faced the wrath of the whale.

"What did you expect when you made a dangerous tribe mad?" TCF! Hans wondered. "That they wouldn't get angry with you after killing their families?"

"You should have been prepared." TBOAH! Harol said with a frown. 

"I just realized it but why are most of the enemies, um, stupid?" TBOAH! Gilbert asked awkwardly.

"Maybe it's a requirement?" TCF! Adite said. 

'What kind of requirement is that?' many thought but none voiced it out. On the contrary, they nod in agreement in order to spite the white star which worked. 

Oowooooooooo-

Many whales that came with the Whale tribe moved toward the broken ships.
It was hell for the people who fell overboard.

However, hell was not only in the ocean.
There were many people who were even angrier than the Whale tribe all around the Hais Islands.

"So I guess falling in the ocean is a better choice?" the half-dragon murmured.

"Yeah." TBOAH! Billos agreed. "Though it will also be a gruesome death."

"C, crazy. Why are the Tiger tribe bastards here- ugh!"

One of the members of Arm's First Battle Brigade could not finish his sentence. This island was covered in boulders, tree, and tall grass. The night was not an issue for the Tigers to be able to jump around this island with the roughest terrain out of the Hais Islands.

The subordinates who were walking behind their squad leader started to step back.

"Grrrrrrr-"

The animal laughed as it ripped the squad leader's arm from his body.

Some got shivers at the sight while others felt like barfing. Actually, some did barf but for their sakes, they will not be named.

Tap. Tap. Tap.
The Tigers were lightly walking on the muddy ground. Three Tigers ripped apart the squad leader's body.
The gazes of the Tigers that had lost their families and fellow tribe members then turned toward the subordinates who were in a state of panic after losing their leader.

Wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing-
An odd noise was coming out of the Tigers. One of the Tigers stepped forward.

Chhhhhhhhhhhhhh-
Smoke appeared and the Tiger soon turned into a human. The large Tiger tribe warrior opened up his arms and started to speak.

"Kehehe, you want to catch our people and take our hides?"

There were five brigades under Arm's Battle Brigade. 
They had split up by brigade in order to take their subordinates and take out the Tigers living in each mountain.
With all of these ships being part of one brigade, there would have only been at max four Tigers to fight against them.

There was blood flowing out of the mouth of the Tiger that had ripped the squad leader's arm off. He started to shout at the remaining members of Arm with fury.

"I will take all of your hides off."
"Ah, aaaaaaaaah!"

The two subordinates with the squad leader started to run toward the rest of their group. The Tiger tribe warrior just calmly watched them run. He started to speak after waiting a while.

"Time to hunt. The night is long."

"Too short, actually." TCF! Hannah said with a frown. "I want more blood."

"You'll get more later." TCF! Cale calmly said, not disturbed by the violence being portrayed on the screen in the slightest. 

"Promise?" TCF! Hannah asked.

"It's our original deal." TCF! Cale said with a raised brow. "I promised to give you your revenge, right?"

"Yes." TCF! Hannah nod with a satisfied smile, her hands aching for blood.

Wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing.
The Tiger secured the mana disturbance tool in his chest pocket as he stretched his neck muscles.
All of the Tigers were holding a mana disturbance tool in order to prevent Arm from sending the message that the Whale tribe and the Tiger tribe had teamed up.
The Roan and Breck Kingdoms had sent these devices in order to support them.

"Smart." Mila praised. 

"I want to be like him when I grow up, Ma." Dodori said while pointing at TCF! Cale who paled, not wanting to be targeted by another dragon.

"...I see." Mila could only say. On one hand, TCF! Cale was smart but he was too selfless and she didn't want her child to die.

'Don't look at me, don't look at me, don't look at me.' TCF! Cale repeatedly thought with a slightly pale face.

The three adult Tigers disappeared into the darkness with a tiger's unique relaxed walk. They did not hide their presences.
They let out angry laughters after hearing the screams of Arm's members.

Both Gashans smirked in satisfaction, glad that his fellow members and himself can get their revenge.

On the other hand, there was someone moving very quietly on another island.

"Ron." the two Cales and Rok Soo immediately said, knowing who in TCF! Cale's group move that quietly. It wasn't that hard to guess, considering that most of his team prefers to be loud. 

"The question should be if he is with his son or not." TBOAH! Cale said.

"I bet yes." TCF! Cale immediately said.

"I bet no." TBOAH! Cale said after thinking. "Beacrox probably wants to kill more enemies because of what they did to his father." 

"I'm with TCF! Cale here." Rok Soo said. "He probably wants to protect his father. Anyway, what will we use to bet?"

"Money." TCF! Cale immediately said which made the three nod as they only had money to bet on and nothing else.

"Why do you need money, though?" TBOAH! Cale asked Rok Soo who only shrugged.

"Who knows if I get to visit my previous world?" Rok Soo answered. "I didn't expect to get send to another world, after all."

"True." TCF! Cale agreed. "So, we all agree that loser pays the winner a thousand gold?"

"Deal." the two nod before the three shook hands. 

The others wanted to join but didn't want to risk angering the butler and his son. It was obvious they would be killed if they joined as the two glared at everyone besides the three. Besides, only a few of them actually has that much money to spend.

This was the island with the most diverse terrain of the Hais Islands.
Cliffs, a forest, sand dunes, and a swamp. The island that had all of these terrains was currently engulfed in a silent battle.

"Ugh!"

One of Arm's members fell down with a short groan.
He was one of the assassin specialists under Assistant Leader Greetel. He had been the second of the two that had gone to investigate.

The corpse was carefully laid down on the ground.

The servant Ron quietly looked down at the corpse before cleaning the blood off of his dagger with a handkerchief. His son, Beacrox, had packed this handkerchief for him.

"Hah, I win!" TCF! Cale and Rok Soo simultaneously said with a proud smile before looking at TBOAH! Cale with a sly smile. "Money, please."

"Tch." TBOAH! Cale said with a frown, reaching in his clothes and pulling out two pouches and tossing each to one Cale. 

"Thank you~" the two smiled cheekily.

"Young master-nim, why do you have that much money on you?" TBOAH! Beacrox asked in confusion, not being given a response by the three Cales.

'How are we supposed to tell him that we have so much money on our body because we spend it in alcohol to keep our trashy image?' TBOAH! Cale and Rok Soo thought. 

'How am I supposed to tell him that I have so much money on me because all of my secret places and Raon are full so I have no choice.' TCF! Cale thought.

There was no noise in any of his movements.
All that could be heard was the sound of nature.

The sound of waves crashing against the shore.
The sound of the rain.
The sound of thunder.

Ron started to smile. He could hear another type of noise.

It was the sound of a human moving around.

"Please don't smile like that." Maes said with a shiver, not used to that bloodthirsty smile of Ron who was like his uncle. He was used to seeing Ron smile his usual benign smile and even a soft one when he thought no one was looking but that ruthless smile? Nope; Maes was sure he would have a nightmare if he sees that smile one more time.

Both Rons didn't answer, only smiling similar benign smiles which made many tensed.  

Ron had been the successor to one of the three families in control of the Eastern continent's underworld.

"Something we will never forget." TBOAH! Hans said which many agreed. How could they when they were watching the man's skill in assassination?

He slowly moved after hearing the quiet noises coming from the people.

They should be the newest group sent to investigate after the first group did not send back any information.

That was how Ron started to take down Assistant Leader Greetel's group one by one.

Ron was someone who had survived as an assassin for over 60 years.
In addition to getting revenge for his family, he still had the ability to teach these youngins the definition of fear.

"I now understand young master's fear towards his butler." Taylor whispered to TCF! Cage who agreed with a slight shiver. She never thought that such a kind-hearted looking old man can be so...dangerous. She knew he was an assassin but didn't know he was that skilled. Really, with all of TCF! Cale's group being dangerous, anyone who dares to attack him will die a death crueler than anything else.

Shhhhhhh-

The sound of grass rustling in the wind could be heard. Ron moved toward the location of the stealthy footsteps.

In another island, violence rather than stealthiness dominated the area.
This was the island with the flattest terrain.

"It's probably Hannah's turn to be shown." TCF! Cale commented, making both Hannahs turn to the screen with excitement.

Baaaaaang!

One of the few boulders on the island broke apart.

"Damn it!"

Opid shouted out while breathing heavily. However, he did not even have a moment to rest. He felt chills on his back.

Baaaaaang!
Another sound of the ground breaking could be heard. He could not turn around. He did not even have the time to think about what had happened to his subordinates.

'Where did such a crazy bitch come from?!'

"From your group." TCF! Archie said with a shrug.

"They're probably regretting their acts of betraying her." Paseton said.

"They're stupid." TBOAH! Jopis said with a frown. "What kind of person doesn't make sure the person they're targeting and betraying is dead?"

"That's like a horrible plot line." TBOAH! Litana said. "And overused."  

She was a crazy bitch. She was an extremely crazy bitch.

Both Hannah didn't look angered or irritated in the slightest. In fact, the two only smiled wider, glad that their enemy realized it. 

"Hahahaha!"

Laughter echoed through the forest.
It was coming from a sword master using a golden aura. She was laughing while destroying everything in front of her.

Opid was the leader of Arm's First Battle Brigade. His First Brigade was not strong in comparison to Arm's other Brigades.
However, they knew how to effectively use their individual abilities. That was why they were stronger than the knights of most kingdoms.

"Unfortunately, they aren't stronger than TCF! Cale's group." TCF! Duke Fredo says in amusement, obviously not being serious in his words.

That was why they were able to strategize to take down a group of Tigers in the Eastern continent.

"You just caught them unprepared." Rasheel said with a slightly angered look. After all, tigers were known to be one of the strongest tribes after dragons so considering them weak was similar to considering dragons weak.

"Excuses." TBOAH! Adin said while rolling his eyes.

"Cough, hypocrite, cough." TCF! Bud fake coughed.

He had used his standard methods when first going up against this sword master.

"... Fuck! It wasn't supposed to be like this!"

However, this sword master was a crazy person.

"I think you mean skilled." TBOAH! Jack murmured darkly, not liking how his sister is being called crazy.

The sword master was now covered in both black spiderwebs and red blood.
She did not seem to care for defense nor did she show any fear. She started to laugh even more as she saw blood and rushed toward them.

Opid and some of his subordinates had managed to hit her with some arrows. However, rather than wincing in fear, she had rushed toward them even more fiercely.

"Hannah!" TCF! Jack shouted before turning to his sister to scold her. "I know you like fighting but don't be reckless. I don't want to see you hurt!"

"Okay, oppa." TCF! Hannah said sulkily as her counterpart quickly promised the same, not wanting her brother to scold her too.

'Why is that woman here?!'

There was no way that he still would not know the identity of this woman.
He was the leader of Arm's First Battle Brigade. He had decent knowledge of the organization's activities.

The fake Holy Maiden that the organization had thrown away.
This was that woman. He was certain that this was that woman.

"Ding ding ding, you got it correct!" On said in joy before smiling evilly. "Your prize is death."

'On...even you?' TCF! Cale thought bitterly before realizing he shouldn't be angry because On was part of the cat tribe who could be cruel when needed.

Opid was running back to his ship. He could not hide on the island. He needed to escape to the ocean.
Based on what he was going through, he could not fathom how the other members were doing. The rain and wind were strong because of the storm, but he felt like he could hear people screaming as well.

Wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing-
At the same time, he could hear the sound of a mana disturbance tool coming from the woman.

'I need to contact the organization.'

The enemies were pleased at his quick thinking, glad that there was someone besides them who were competent, even only a little. (Not that they were really competent but, hey, people can dream, right?)

He needed to get away from the range of the disturbance tool in order to contact the organization.
Opid clenched his side and continued to run. Blood was pouring out of the cut he had received from her aura.

It was at that moment.
He heard a voice from right behind him.

"Do you think you can continue to run and live? Hmm?"
'Son of a bitch.'

"...She's not a guy, though?" TCF! Mary innocently ask.

"He's just stupid, Mary." TCF! Tasha said, not wanting to ruin the girl's innocence like everyone.

"Oh." TCF! Mary said, nodding once before focusing on the screen again.

Opid started to frown. He could see the beach right in front of him. He just needed to go a bit farther.

"Blood is really beautiful. Don't you think so? Is that why you all wanted to kill me?"

She was teasing him.
The crazy sword master was chasing behind Opid while teasing him. Opid held back his swearing as he continued to run. He had no choice.
A deer could only run away from a predator.

Both Hannah smiled after hearing their enemy call her a predator.

He then reached the sandy beach.

"Huh?"

He saw the ship that was docked at the beach.
However, there was a man with black hair standing in front of it. Opid could hear the sword master's voice coming from his back.

"Ah, what the... No fun."

"Boo, is he going to steal my prey?" TCF! Hannah asked with a little pout, dissatisfied.

Chhhhhhh-
Opid took out his sword.

Clang.
However, the high-grade expert's sword was easily broken by the black sword master's aura. That aura also cut through Opid's chest.

The sword master Hannah looked toward Choi Han in a grumpy manner.

"I will do it on my own."
"I know. I just came to tell you not to run too wild and destroy the island."

"Of course he came to tell me that." TCF! Hannah said while rolling her eyes but was thankful that the swordmaster wasn't planning on helping her and stealing her kills.

"Don't worry, I won't get your prey." TCF! Choi Han assured her. "I have my own."

Hannah turned around and headed back into the forest without responding. She had killed the leader first as Cale had ordered. It was now time to kill the rest.

TCF! Cale was glad that she listened to him because the plan would have gone wrong if she didn't and the leader was able to send message to the other members of Arm.

Choi Han then turned his gaze to the ocean. The small Humpback Whale Paseton offered him his back and Choi Han jumped onto it in order head to another island. He quietly started to mumble.

"I can't understand it."
"Understand what?"

Choi Han shared his thoughts at Paseton's question. This was what he had been thinking about after seeing that Arm's group that was strong enough and large enough to take on any decent Knight Brigade of a kingdom but did not have anyone with overwhelming strength.

"Why are they trying to kill strong people?"

"I mean, who wouldn't if they have the power?" TBOAH! Valentino said. "Of course, only for the evil people because good people wouldn't think of killing anyone who doesn't wrong them."

"Stop with your flowery words and just say that they are psychopaths." TBOAH! Tasha bluntly said.

The Whale tribe, the Tiger tribe, and the fake Holy Maiden and sword master Hannah.
It was as if they were trying to kill all the strong people in this world. Choi Han thought about the people that the secret organization tried to kill instead of roping into their organization and could not understand their thought process.

Many agreed with Choi Han's thoughts as they also couldn't understand.

Paseton responded to Choi Han's question.

"Maybe because it is easier to rule if they are the strongest? Anyway, what good will it do even if you knew what they were thinking?"

"That's true but stupid because dragons will always be the strongest." Sheritt said not in an arrogant way but merely stating a fact. "Or the gods."

Choi Han nodded his head at Paseton's comment which seemed to say that the reasons did not matter.
It was true, it was not his problem.
It was not important who the leader of the secret organization was nor what their thoughts were. All he had to do was destroy them so that they could not continue doing what they were doing.
That was his role.

"Yes, strong Choi Han!" Raon excitedly agreed. "Destroy them all and everything will be all right!"

"Paseton, let's head toward the island with the weaker Tigers."

They avoided the whirlpools as Choi Han headed to where he needed to go.

At that moment, Cale could only see glimpses of the battlefield through the light provided by the thunderbolts. He could not see all the blood being shed, however, Raon, who could see everything, peeked toward Cale every so often.
It was because he didn't want the weak human to have second thoughts after seeing what was going on.

"Raon, I won't change my mind just because of little blood." TCF! Cale said. "Besides, I've seen worse."

Yes, worst like that time where his hyungs die...no, he will not be thinking about it. He should just focus on the present where his hyungs where with him in the room.

"Raon."
"W, what is it, human? I cannot see anything!"

'What is he talking about?'
Cale looked toward Raon with confusion. Raon avoided his gaze but he could hear Cale's voice.

"Poor Raon-nim." TBOAH! Witira said with pity.

"You brought the dead mana bomb with you, right?"
"... I brought it because you asked me to. What is it?"

Raon looked toward Cale with curiosity. Cale was speaking with a smile on his face.

"I'm thinking about leaving some evidence on the most destroyed island."
"The evidence of a dead mana bomb?"

Cale looked down at the ocean below. He could only see darkness.

"...Cale, you said you won't destroy the islands." TCF! Alberu said with his left eyebrow twitching in annoyance.

"I won't." TCF! Cale said. "Arm, on the other hand..."

"You bastard!" TCF! White Star shouted in anger. "You want to pin the blame on me?!"

"Even though the Tiger tribe and some of our people have mana disturbance tools..."
"Gramps Ron doesn't have one!"
"Yes. Ron doesn't have one, but anyway, some of their mages would have sent out emergency communications after seeing the Whale tribe."

The focus of Cale's side as they observed Arm the last five days was on the existence of mages in the group. They sent out crows and the oceanic lifeforms to thoroughly investigate the number of mages.

Raon nodded his head.

"It is obvious that they would have done so."
"Then wouldn't the secret organization come here to investigate?"
"You're right! They will do that!"

Cale resolved Raon's curiosity.

"What would they think when they see the faint traces of someone trying to erase the residue from the Empire's dead mana bomb?"

Many realized what TCF! Cale was planning and began smirking in joy.

Raon started to laugh.

"Hehe. That sounds fun, human!"

Cale started to think after hearing Raon's response.
'What a scary Dragon.'

However, contrary to his thoughts, Cale was smiling as well.

"Cale-nim, you shouldn't lie to yourself." TCF! Choi Han said. 

"What?" TCF! Cale asked, confused.

"What he means is that you think those around you are vicious when you are the one who's the scariest." TBOAH! Elisneh said with a role of her eyes. 

"I'm not scary, though?" TCF! Cale said with a confused expression. In his opinion, comparing him to Ron or even Choi Han was like comparing a rat to a lion. 

"You really should work on your denial attitude." Rok Soo said while patting his back pityingly. 

"For the last time, I don't have a denial attitude!" shouted TCF! Cale.
