Eric called out to Cale, who suddenly started quickly walking to his seat, but Cale just waved him off and sat down.

�Mm.�

�Ah, welcome young master Cale.�

�Hello, young master Cale.�

Cale gave a short response to all of those respectful greetings.

�Hello. Good to see all of you.�

Silence suddenly filled the table, and Cale put his hand underneath the tablecloth without others noticing.

�I knew it.�

He could feel the invisible Black Dragon�s body shaking.

� �I�m okay. I told you that I am okay.�

Cale listened to the Black Dragon�s voice in his head, and patted its shaking body. Anger and fear. The Black Dragon�s mind was full of both right now. That was why trauma when you are young is so scary.

The Black Dragon did not know how to respond because the physical trauma that its body remembered was not aligned with the rationality in its head.

� �I am okay. I am a great and mighty dragon.�

Cale had told the Black Dragon when it said it wanted to follow him that Venion Stan would be here as well. He also got the Black Dragon to promise that it would not kill Venion Stan today. He also promised something else to the dragon.

� �Later. I will definitely kill that bastard and the rest later.�

The Black Dragon was planning on ripping them into shreds so that they turned into fine particles of dust. Cale calmed the Black Dragon down while listening to its extremely angry voice. Thankfully, it didn�t seem to be causing its mana to go wild because of this anger.

Cale thought that dragons really were very rational creatures. Cale thought about the hell that awaited Venion and the idiots who were aligned with Marquis Stan in the future, and stopped patting the dragon.

Thankfully, it did not seem like the dragon was going to run wild. If it did, this palace would easily be destroyed, and Cale would probably be dead as well. Cale let out a sigh of relief, before looking around.

He could see Eric�s group and Venion�s group both heading this way. It made sense, since Venion�s table was the Northwest table next to them.

Tap. Tap.

The Black Dragon rubbed his head on Cale�s leg.

�Mm.�

The Black Dragon�s action made Cale worry for a moment. He made eye contact with Eric at that time, who was fervently signaling Cale with his eyes.
