Book 2: Chapter 41: The First Law of the Hunt (4)

Marquis Helson had a thought.

He truly is so bold.

Marquis Helson recalled when he contacted the Church of the Fire of Purification for the first time in a long while.

Bishop?

Nice to see you, Marquis Helson.

A bishop of the Church of Fire of Purification had appeared on the black magic video communication device.

Is that sir someone the church has raised?

The bishop smiled benignly and shook his head at Helson's question. He then made a comment/

You should be able to see the answer when you look at that esteemed sir.

Marquis Helson closed his eyes for a moment.

The white sand desert where everything had been purified

The blue sky and world without darkness he saw through the video communication device in Chief Eaen's hand

The purifier who was arrogantly standing there

I came here after being called by the world.

He definitely said that.

Marquis Helson was now certain.

The Purifier will definitely go to the capital and completely destroy the Huayans Estate.

He did not seem to be the type of person to say that he would destroy something if he was just going to break a few things.

No, he might not even be human.

He was just an existence.

"Sir, I do have one concern.

Marquis Helson opened his mouth.

I do not know whether I can trick the Huayans patriarchs eyes.

Cale had an idea about what Marquis Helson was worried about.

Because of the corpses and the white desert?

Yes sir.

Helson waited to see how Cale would respond. Cale responded immediately without any hesitation.

Just say that you dont know.

Excuse me?

Helson had a slightly blank look on his face as he looked at Cale.

Cale had a refreshing smile on his face as he spoke.

There was a large explosion and everything was gone when you went there to check. You just have to pretend not to know. Just say that you don't know anything. What can he do if you do that?

Mm.

To be completely blunt, the Huayans patriarch will not think that you would have created such a sight, Marquis-nim.

"That is true.

Helson easily accepted Cale's comment even though he was basically being told he lacked the ability to do something like that. It was the truth.

"Then the Huayans patriarch will try to figure out who could do such a thing. He will toss and tumble on his own all he wants and come up with all sorts of hypothesis.

Mm.

"Do you think that one of his hypotheses will include us?

No sir.

The purifier.

Who would be able to consider this existence?

Even now, most of the people in Precinct 9, who didnt know the inside story about the incident, had seen the red explosion but did not have any idea about what had happened.

It was that impossible to imagine.

Marquis-nim, he will definitely try to rummage through the entirety of Precinct 9.

Mm.

Helson had to hide them well when the Huayans patriarch did that.

He needed to hide the people who survived.

Cale continued to speak at that.

The patriarch will be informed about something at that moment.

Ah.

Helson could imagine the situation now.

"The patriarch will probably head for the capital right away. The capital and his own Estate would have been attacked.

That is correct, sir.

He will probably leave a few people behind as he cant give up on the investigation here either, but-

Helson smiled.

I am capable of tricking those people.

Right?

Cale and Marquis Helson looked at each other and smiled.

The Blood Cultist, who was watching this, felt his insides churn.

Who the hell is this person?

The Blood Cultist had sort of given up on escaping at this point.

Hey, you plan on talking about making an offering of karma to go to the Central Plains, right?

He had been so shocked at Cales comment that he almost fainted. There was someone who was not a Hunter who knew about that.

The problem was that Cale had not stopped there.

To be honest, we really dont need your information. And we will be heading to your hometown soon so you dont have to worry about dying without returning home one last time.

Although Cale had sounded so cheeky as he smiled and said that, the meaning behind it was shocking.

A person who was not a Hunter could travel through dimensions while taking others, like this Dragon and the sword master, with him?

It also looked as if he didn't even need to make an offering of karma to do it.

Is he really someone a god has sent?

No.

The eldest son shook his head.

There was only one god he needed to believe in and serve.

.

Nod. Aphei nodded her head.

Although this could seem as if she was being uncooperative, Cale realized that this was not the case.

Mm.

The ninety-nine year old Dragon was fidgeting.

He had not noticed until now, but she seemed quite timid.

She looked completely different from the haughty appearance she had shown at the banquet hall. It made sense because Apheis true appearance had not been shown until now.

That should mean she is that relaxed.

Aphei was still looking at the children averaging nine-years-old. She looked at Eruhaben every so often as well. Of course, her gaze was mostly on Raon.

She then looked at Cale after realizing that he was not saying anything.

Yeah.

She then gave a late reply.

She must have believed that the nod was not enough for Cale.

Cale, you saw that, right? For a Dragon to show such a timid response! What the fuck did these Hunter bastards do?!

Eruhaben was sharing his frustration that he could not share out loud in Cales mind. The ancient Dragon was so angry that he was swearing.

Haha

Cale just laughed and brushed it aside while gently speaking to Aphei.

Apparently the Huayans patriarch will come here tomorrow.

.

Aphei's fingers were fidgeting but she looked calm.

Shes brave.

Eruhaben spoke as if he was praising her.

Human! Lets go beat the Huayans patriarch to a pulp before the Hunters can mess with timid Aphei!

Raon suggested extremely energetically.

Ha. These Dragons.

Cale just ignored the two Dragons. This was the first time he had brushed aside something Eruhaben had said.

He just smiled warmly.

Human! Aphei is on our side! Don't smile like that toward timid Aphei! Dont scam her either!

He ignored Raon's comment again.

Aphei-nim.

.

Aphei looked at Cale.

Cale gently asked.

Would you like to go to the capital tomorrow to destroy the Huayans Estate while the patriarch is not there?

Although team leader Sui Khan, On, and Hong had scoped out the House of Huayans There was nobody on their side who knew more about that place than Aphei.

.

Aphei's pupils started to shake.

You're going to destroy that place?

She asked while fidgeting her fingers.

Cale opened his mouth and tried to respond but the children averaging nine-years-old were faster.

No, to be more specific, Raon and Hong were faster.

"Alright! Human, I'm going too! I'm going to destroy it!

I'm curious to know if you are going to loot or not, nya!

Cale looked at the children averaging nine-years-old, including On, who were looking at him with sparkling gazes and lightheartedly responded.

"We're going to do both.

He could see Apheis cheeks flush a bit at that moment.

It sounds like it is going to be fun.

Cale subconsciously took a step back as Aphei said that while still fidgeting her fingers.

What the hell?

He felt as if he saw an odd form of lunacy in her eyes. He could not even look at her now flushed cheeks.

Aphei's eyes were shining. He felt as if he was seeing the large amount of anger and lunacy that resided inside this timid Dragon.

An unexplainable chill resided on the back of Cales neck. He heard a low laugh at that moment.

Haha

He turned toward the bed. Sui Khan. The team leader was laughing while eating some fruit.

Sui then made a comment.

"So strong.

Eruhaben and Mary

Everybody except the two of them headed for the capital the next morning.

They had an extra Dragon with them.

They went to destroy the Huayans Estate.

* * *

The Empires capital.

Cale's group arrived at the secret residence of the Church of the Fire of Purification.

They needed to prepare and assess the situation before heading toward the Huayans Estate.

Cale met with the Pope as soon as he teleported over.

The Pope shouted.

I greet the legend!

Shit, fuck.

Cale suddenly got chills on his arms.

Cale be swearing up a storm real soon.
