Chapter: 17

Once he exited the residence, he could see the garden and the gate of the exit farther away. It was only then that Cale let out a sigh and peeked backwards. He could see Ron�s stiff expression through the closing door.

�I�m glad I was able to shake him off.�

He was glad that Ron did not follow him. However, Cale was afraid of that stiff expression. He was an assassin after all. Cale decided that he will treat Ron better and not make him angry starting the next interaction as he exited the estate. Of course, he was on a carriage.

He arrived at his destination a little bit later.

�Young master. Is this the right place?�

The driver cautiously asked as he opened the door. He then peeked toward the shop in front of him. The driver�s face was clearly filled with confusion.

�Yes. This is it.�

Cale, who was wearing clothes that would be fancy to others but was the simplest thing in his closet, walked out of the carriage. Nobody was around them, as they had moved away as soon as they saw the carriage with the count�s crest on it.


[The Fragrance of Tea with Poetry]

It was a tea shop that allowed you to read poems while drinking tea. This clean three story building looked to be pretty expensive. It was true that the owner of the shop was very wealthy. In fact, as the bastard son of a concubine of a large merchant guild, he was even wealthier than Cale. The only thing was that he was living here while hiding that identity.

�If I recall correctly, the owner goes to the capital around volume 3 to meet Choi Han there. It is there that he claims that, he may be a bastard son of a concubine of the merchant guild, but that he will become the owner of the merchant guild.�

The man who shouts and swears to Choi Han that he will become the owner of the merchant guild. Cale only read the first five volumes, and thus did not know if the man ever ended up becoming the owner of that merchant guild, but since he was one of the main character�s partners, he probably will succeed.

Cale looked toward the driver who was sweating like a hog and gave an order.

�You can leave now.�

�Excuse me?�

�Are you going to make me say the same thing twice?�

�No, that, do I not need to wait for you, young master?�

Cale casually answered as he opened the door to the tea shop.

�Yeah. I�ll be here for a while.�

Gulp. He could hear the driver�s gulp behind him, but a much clearer and pleasurable noise filled Cale�s ears. Clang. A quiet but clear bell sound announced Cale�s entrance into the tea shop.

Cale stood at the entrance and looked around the tea shop. It was still early, and there were not many people there. Cale could see that all of them were shocked to see him there.

Well, the novel did say there was nobody in this region who did not know about Cale. He was public enemy number one for the merchants because he had a tendency to break everything in their shops.

�Welcome.�

However, the owner of this shop warmly welcomed Cale in. Cale looked toward the baby pig-like man who welcomed him in from the counter. JrNovels.com
