�Yes. You need to make eye contact like this when you are chatting with someone. Did you forget?�

�Did you forget?�

Those words sounded very loud to Lock.

He had stuttered as he answered Cale back then.

�I, I am the older brother.�

�I need to take care of my younger siblings.�

�And I was a nephew and a younger brother.�

�That is why I need to get revenge.�

Cale had responded to those comments.

�You�re a Wolf.�

Wolf.

That word stuck to Lock�s mind.

�Cale-nim.�

Choi Han tried to interject into the conversation. Lock was like a younger brother to him.

�What is it?�

�Could you please tell me what you asked Lock?�

�I asked him to observe and protect the Gorge of Death until I come back.�

��Alone?�

�Some of the Breck Kingdom�s mages will remain for emergency contact. But yes, he will be the only one from our group remaining here.�

Choi Han looked back and forth between Cale, who did not even turn to look at him as he responded, and the quiet Lock. Choi Han started to speak after hesitating for a bit.

�He is a child with a lot of loneliness.�

Lock had experienced trauma at a young age.

His family, his neighbors, and his entire village were all massacred in front of him.

Such a child was finally starting to relax. He needed to get stronger, but Choi Han did not want Lock�s heart to turn empty. JrNovels.com
