Book 2: Chapter 76: How about you be more tactful? (5)

The laughing Billos let out a short sigh.

Huuuuuu.

He had subconsciously done it.

Cale watched him sigh before nonchalantly commenting.

"I guess it is quite a headache.

Mm.

Billos contemplated it for a moment before nodding his head.

I guess so, young master-nim. But it is still okay.

Because you participated in the restoration of Puzzle City?

Yes, young master-nim.

The Flynn Merchant Guild had no head right now. Billos was in the process of becoming the head but the chaos caused by the numerous deaths in the House of Flynn was not easily settling down.

His highness gave our Merchant Guild an opportunity as well.

He was thankful that the Flynn Merchant Guild could participate in the large business of restoring Puzzle City.

It is because his highness trusts you.

Alberu approved of Billos's abilities after having worked with him multiple times. It was his trust in Billos that made him allow the Flynn Merchant Guild to participate.

"Thats a relief.

Billos could not hide the bitter smile on his face.

Everything feels so futile.

He felt empty right now.

No matter what

He had wanted to become the merchant guild leader of the Flynn Merchant Guild no matter what it took.

He wanted to get past the situation of being shunned for being a bastard and desired to get his abilities approved.

That process had been going well.

It started after I met the young master-nim.

Billos had built his power since building that relationship with Cale, being placed in charge of taking care of the magic devices from the Whipper Kingdom and other tasks.

And then things ended up like this.

The Merchant guild leader and his half-siblings were no longer in the Flynn Merchant Guild.

The only person to help the merchant guild rise up from this chaos was Billos, the person who had to run away while injured.

It is tiring.

His body was still in pain.

However, he was not tired because the situation was like that.

It felt as if something, something that was making Billos move, had disappeared.

His dream of becoming not just the Flynn Merchant Guild's leader but the greatest merchant had not changed, but Billos couldnt help but be tired.

He subconsciously spoke in a weakened voice.

Really, it is a relief. At least his highness trusts the Flynn Merchant Guild when it is like this.

I told you it is not the merchant guild but you that he trusts.

Plop.

Cale pulled a document out of his pocket and threw it on the table.

Billos looked at Cale, wondering what this document was, before he heard Cale speak in a nonchalant voice.

"And I trust you even more than he does.

Excuse me?

Take a look.

Billos subconsciously gulped.

His instincts were telling him something.

Cale Henituse. Just like that time when he realized that the trash young master wasnt really just trash

Something he couldnt pinpoint, a sensation that he could not be sure about was visiting Billos right now.

Billoss hand was shaking as he picked up the document Cale had placed on the table.

"Shh."

Cale nonchalantly commented as he opened up the document.

I've already talked to his highness and our territory.

Billos's pupils were shaking as he read through the document.

The word, mines, caught his attention. It was followed by the sizes and output rates of the mines.

Y, young master-nim-

His voice was shaking as he called out to Cale. His hands clenched around the document.

"What is it?

Cale nonchalantly asked Billos.

You are the only merchant I have to do things. You know that.

Ha.

Billos let out a short sigh.

Ha, haha-

And it soon turned into laughter. A smile appeared on Billos's swollen face.

It made him look quite hideous but he didnt care.

It is not just one or two mines.

There were numerous pages to the document.

Yeah.

Cale looked out the window. He had stealthily come here so people of Puzzle City did not know that he was here.

He observed the site that was full of people hard at work despite the end of the year having cold weather. He then started to speak again.

The work might end up involving many regions or even kingdoms. Even though I am the owner of the mines, I will not be able to check on them all the time.

He would be busy running around to numerous worlds.

"That is why I have no choice but to get you involved.

He needed people he was sure about being on his side in this mines issue.

And if it is Billos

He is trustworthy.

Furthermore, Cale felt the level of trust Billos had for him after Billos came to find him in his extremely injured state.

Young master-nim.

Billos clenched his eyes shut.

And I trust you even more than he does.

Those words suddenly flashed in Billoss mind.

His hands clenched around the document.

Billos opened his eyes again before energetically responding.

I will make sure to do a good job.

Yeah, thats enough.

< I... I... I am still a baby world, sir...! Seven is already pushing myself quite a bit... Sir......! >

Cale scowled. He felt as if he was bullying this world.

Wait, even if it is a baby world, it should have lived longer than I have, no?

The Black Bloods had been plotting away on the Xiaolen Planet for over 300 years. The Blood Cult had been working with the House of Huayans since then, so they should have existed for more than 300 years as well.

It should be at least 300 years old but it is a baby?

Isnt that too much?

Cale slowly looked unsettled.

Human, are you okay? What is wrong?!

He then saw Raon.

Dragons lived for 1,000 years.

In a Dragon's point of view, 100 years old is probably still considered an infant.

Cale soon looked even more unsettled.

He looked at the mirror, sighed, and commented.

Do whatever you can to increase it

His voice was a bit weaker.

He had originally wanted around 10 people, but

At least increase it by one to make it eight.

He needed a minimum of eight people.

In addition to Cale

Choi Han, Raon, Ron, Beacrox, Number 7, Durst.

And Sui Khan.

He needed Team leader Lee Soo Hyuk. It would be easy to secretly contact Choi Jung Soo if he had the team leader.

Of course, there is no guarantee that we will meet Choi Jung Soo there.

But we will probably meet him.

He felt as if that would be the case.

Cale looked at the silent mirror that was shaking and asked.

Are beast people considered not human?

< No, sir!... Beast people are people too...... >

As I expected.

Cale nodded his head at this expected response and nonchalantly commented.

I'll only take one nonhuman so use that to make it a total of eight people.

Human, why does your voice sound so weak?

Ding ding!

He heard a notification at that moment.

Cale clenched his eyes after reading the message.

< I, I can do it......! >

Ding ding!

< C, CP can do it......! >

Haaaaaaaa.

< Sir, I will make sure to live up to your expectations! I will be back with results within two weeks, sir......! - Sincerely, the hardworking CP >

Human, why do you keep shaking your head like that?

Cale just ignored the voices of the two children.

Instead, he thought about the list of ten rewards Xiaolen had given him. The items given to his people were all very good items.

I'll have to borrow them for a bit.

He would need to borrow some of them.

The Central Plains.

He didnt know how things would go in that place.

I'll have to rely on being overgeared.

It felt as if he should take a lot of things that could be useful.

Money too.

If it feels like he doesn't have enough strength

Then it'll have to be money.

Human, why are you opening your eyes like that?

Ding ding!

<...CP... C, can do it! I can be a super strong world......! >

Cale firmed his resolve to take a lot of gold, jewels, and anything else that could be used as money.

* * *

My close friend.

Cale flinched after seeing Toonkas gaze.

Whats up with him?

As he was about to scowl

Boom. Boom. Boom.

Toonkas large body quickly walked over and opened up his arms.

You were alive!

He then tried to hug Cale.

Whats up with him?!

As Cales face tried to scowl even more

Plop.

A scabbard appeared in between Toonka and Cale.

Toonkas body was stopped by the scabbard. It made him smile.

Long time no see.

Choi Han completely ignored Toonkas smile.

Cale took two or three steps away from Toonka and started speaking.

This place looks the same as always.

He was currently in the Royal Palace at the center of the Whipper Kingdom's capital.

Hahaha! Isnt that why it is great?

Of course, the loudly laughing Toonka did not know why Cale was here yet.

All Cale told him was that he was coming to visit. However, the Whipper Kingdom instantly responded to welcome them as soon as they received that call.
