�Let�s go.�

Daltaro and the rest walked away from Cale�s bedroom at Alberu�s command.

At that moment, Cale was laying on the bed eating the cookie that Raon had brought him. Choi Han, who had a long night, approached him and whispered in his ear.

�Mr. Billos asked if he could see you.�

�Bring him over.�

Choi Han started to move again at Cale�s command.

A few hours later, the Flynn Merchant Guild�s Billos entered Cale�s bedroom while saying that he had some precious tea to help Cale relax.

He sat on the chair next to Cale�s bed and continuously wiped the sweat off of his forehead.

There was sweat on Billos�s fat face even though it was the middle of winter. Cale started to speak to Billos.

�Thank you.�

�Young master-nim!�

In the end, Billos raised his voice to call out to Cale.

�What?�

Cale�s casual response made Billos unable to speak.

Billos had told Rex the location of his secret residence. No, he had locked Rex up in his secret residence.

Billos�s gaze turned toward Choi Han as he thought about the chaotic moments of last night. Choi Han smiled gently at him as they made eye contact.

However, the statement Choi Han had made after stealthily evacuating Rex�s friends and family and then locking Rex up in the secret residence remained on his mind.

Rex had wanted to be together with his family and the other members of the organization.

However, Billos had determined that this would not be possible. The other organization members would be fine in the secret paths and unknown caves of the slums because the Empire did not know of their identities, however, someone like Rex, whose identity was completely known, needed to be somewhere where he could be safe from magic.

Billos�s secret residence was somewhere with a shield that defended against all magic because it was somewhere that Billos�s uncle Odeus, the ruler of the Roan Kingdom�s northwestern underworld, had created for any emergency situations when he was in the Empire.

Billos recalled what Choi Han had told Rex as he put him in there.

�You are a dangerous bomb. If you go off, you will not kill just yourself. You will kill everybody involved with this incident. So quietly stay here like a dead rat.�

He never expected such words to come from Choi Han whom he thought was the pure and silent type. JrNovels.com
