Book 2: Chapter 79: How about you be more tactful? (8)

Hes showing that he won't sit still.

Cale could immediately predict what Alberu was thinking.

Alberu's thoughts were simple.

If you guys try to come up with a new scheme, we will too.

However, what we are doing is not just a scheme but will end up changing things.

The foreign kingdoms will be wary just by seeing movement toward this alliance.

Cale turned toward the sound of the voice.

Something is weird.

Clopeh Sekka and Cale made eye contact.

Human! This is weird! Clopeh seems calm and normal!

I know, right?

His eyes seemed very normal.

In fact, his eyes were overflowing with intelligence.

What is up with this guy?

It felt as weird as Toonka saying that he did not like fighting and holding up a book.

However, Cale decided to think things in simple terms.

None of my business.

It did not matter to him whether Clopeh was overflowing with intelligence.

Plus, hes always been a smart guy.

It was just that he went crazy about legends and myths and whatnot. His brain was actually shrewd and sneaky.

This guy's brain worked well in a different manner than crown prince Alberu.

By the way.

That was why Cale calmly asked.

"Why are you here?

He could not think of a reason for Clopeh to come see him no matter how hard he thought about it.

At least if that reason was not to come shout about how he was a legend or something weird like that.

Is he really not here to do that?

Hes with Durst of all people.

Cales heart was beating wildly. He was feeling tense for a different reason than when he was facing Ron's benign smile.

Clopeh lightheartedly responded at that moment.

I am not here to see you, Cale-nim.

Huh?

Really?

Really?

The moment the young Dragon and the human said the same thing at the same time

Yes sir. Of course, I happened to hear that young master Cale-nim was here when I came to the Henituse territory so I came to see you, but I am here for a different reason.

Mm.

Cale heard a groan behind him. He peeked behind him to see Choi Han shaking his head as if he could not believe it.

Right? Even you think it is weird, right?

Clopeh continued in a calm voice the moment Cale realized that he and Choi Han were thinking the same thing.

I came to see patriarch Molan.

Hmm?

Cale and Choi Hans gazes headed toward Clopeh.

Molan?

That was talking about Ron.

Why do you need to see Ron?

Cales voice became lower.

Ron was not in the best condition yet.

Cale could see Clopeh start to smile at that moment.

Because it is loud inside the kingdom.

The inside of the Paerun Kingdom was loud.

There were bastards aligning themselves with other kingdoms.

A holy and sincere looking bright smile appeared on Clopeh's face. This smile made him look like a typical Guardian Knight.

He continued to speak with that smile on his face.

I want to scare those bastards and assassinate some of them.

Crazy bastard.

As expected, Clopeh Sekka was still the same.

Human! Clopeh Sekka is the same!

Cale nodded his head at Raons comment while Choi Han observed Clopeh with a suspicious gaze.

I dont like him.

He did not like Clopeh at all. That was why he started to speak.

Cale-nim. The House of Molan does not do assassinations anymore.

Thats right.

The House of Molan was still going to rule the underworld, but they were changing from assassinations to an information group.

Cale had a pretty good idea about what caused the change.

It's probably for future generations.

Ron and Beacrox seemed to desire taking On and Hong as the heirs to the House of Molan. On and Hong seemed to want that as well.

That was why Ron was trying to change from assassinations to information.

Cale was planning on supporting that.

Haha.

Clopeh let out a short laugh. He waved his hand around.

I do not plan on requesting a hit with the House of Molan. I am simply seeking to purchase information from them. I am here to be a client.

Mm.New novel chapters are published on

Cale gulped.

Basically, he was saying that he was going to buy information about assassins from the House of Molan.

Chat with Ron.

Cale could not make a decision if it was like that. The decision would be up to Ron.

More importantly

Cale looked at Clopeh. He had forgotten because this bastard had been quiet.

Hes thinking about killing the people of his kingdom.

It was fitting for the bastard who went crazy over a myth and created the Indomitable Alliance to lead the continent to war.

He could not let his guard down.

Human, why are you starting to smile?

He ignored Raon's comment.

This bastard I can't put my guard down around is currently my ally.

Cale thought about the places that had been shameless. Norland, Askosan, and some free cities. The Caro Kingdom as well.

Caro was truly disgraceful.

Disgraceful was the only way to describe it.

The crown prince did not seem like that kind of person.

On one hand, Cale found the Caro Kingdom's decision to be odd.

However, he did not think too deeply about it.

Clopeh Sekka.

Yes sir.

You are not planning on only paying attention to the inside of the kingdom, are you?

Clopeh started smiling once Cale asked the question.

Who knows?

Cale became certain after hearing this dubious response.

This bastard is definitely planning on using assassins not for internal issues but external issues!

He was probably planning on sending assassins to Norland or Askosan to scare them or wipe them out.

Cale's gaze became a bit sharper.

You, you know, right?

I dont care how you live.

However, dont mess with us.

My people.

Yes sir. Yes I do, sir.

Clopeh slightly bowed his head to show that he understood.

Cale slightly nodded his head after seeing the bowed head.

That was why he did not see it. He did not see that burning gaze in Clopeh's eyes.

Yes sir.

I see.

Cale did not say anything else.

Goodbye then.

Clopeh also did not say anything else and left Cales study.

Click.

The door closed and Raon stopped being invisible as he approached Cale. Choi Han stared at the closed door before starting to speak.

Cale-nim.

He hesitated for a moment before continuing to speak.

It looks like the foreign kingdoms have figured out about Clopeh's condition. They seem to know that he is unable to act as a proper sword master.

Cale slightly frowned.

Choi Han calmly continued to speak.

Based on how Clopeh is injured, it is likely that someone tried to assassinate him.

He then added on.

That is probably why he is trying to hire assassins. To get them back in the same way.

Honestly speaking, it would not be beneficial to Clopeh if people found out that the Guardian Knight was looking for assassins.

The fact that he was still doing this meant that something just as big had happened to him.

It. Will not be easy for Clopeh.

Choi Han commented almost in a sigh. He did not like Clopeh and thought that Clopeh's condition was a product of his own actions, but Some affection must have been built through the hatred as he could at least understand the difficult situation Clopeh was in.

Mm.

Choi Han could see Cale scowling at that moment.

Cale-nim?

No.

Cale shook his head.

Why did I suddenly have such a thought?

Clopeh Sekka was a sword master but not a proper sword master.

Seeing that bastard suddenly put a thought on his mind.

Usually in wuxia novels

Yes, based on the books I have read until now

In many cases

Bastards like Clopeh find some weird elixir in the Martial Arts world or have some fortuitous encounter to find mysterious martial arts text of an ancient master-

They are able to overcome their difficulties and become extremely strong.

"Seriously.

How can I have that kind of thought?

Cale scoffed and shook his head.

Elixirs are not that easy to find and it makes no sense for a bastard like Clopeh Sekka, someone with a serious issue, to find a martial arts text that is perfect for him.

Cale wouldnt put aside time to look for such a thing for Clopeh either.

Theres no way something like that would happen.

He quickly organized his thoughts.

Of course, I plan on looting everything I can while I am in the Central Plains

He planned on squeezing out everything he could before returning home.

Cale organized his thoughts and resumed speaking.

Lets go on a tour.

Huh?

"Excuse me?

Raon and Choi Han asked in confusion.

The Paerun Kingdom, Jungle, Breck Kingdom And Endable as well. Lets go visit each place once.

An odd smile appeared on Cales face.

That should make the Eastern and Western continent wary.

He was quite certain about his position and value. Of course, that was separate from his not liking being treated like that.

I'm sure they will be curious. What am I going around doing after not showing myself for so long? What is going on in the kingdoms I visit?

They will probably be shaking in fear

Until they learned the answer.

A bright smile appeared on Cales face.

Human! As I thought, that is how you should always smile!

It was at that moment.

Ding ding!

Cale pulled the mirror out of his pocket.

He then sighed before checking the message that CP had sent.

< Sir, CP is waiting in desperation. - Sincerely, CP who wishes to see Cale-nim despite being told in two weeks >

Huuuuuu.

Cale let out a sigh.

There was one last thing for him to check before he left.

It was something he decided he should confirm after seeing Durst.

Hey, CP.

He asked CP a question.

Which faction is going to be helping us?

Similar to the Church of the Fire of Purification in Xiaolen

Cale was curious about who would help him in the Central Plains.

Ding ding!

A message arrived without any delay.

Cale was slightly wowed by that.

I guess he prepared in advance.

He was wowed by this much because he basically had no expectations toward CP.

Cale checked the message.

< CP has one subordinate, sir! >

One person?

< Yes sir. One person! >

Cale's face instantly became unsettled.

Looking beyond their usefulness, at least the Church of the Fire of Purification was an organization helping Cale.

But the Central Plains only had one person

Mm.

Cale was slowly filling with annoyance.

Even if Choi Jung Soo is in the Central Plains

And even if that bastard is supposedly the Sword Demon

It would be good to have verified allies in advance since there is no way to know if we will be able to see Choi Jung Soo as soon as we get there.

This was especially important because the Martial Arts world was about to enter the Great War of the Triumvirate.

Cale held himself back from scowling as he asked.

Is it an expert?

Or maybe a super expert?

< No sir! The person cannot use any martial arts at all. Hehe. >

Cale's face instantly started scowling at the immediate response before he stopped to think.

This is weird.

CP seemed so confident.

Cale asked a new question.

Then who is it?

Ding ding!

A response came immediately.

< The Emperors mommy! >

Ding ding!

< For reference, the current Emperor is an extremely filial son. >

Cale was silent for a moment before making a comment.

CP can do it!

Ding ding!

< CP can do it! CP can become a super strong world! >
