Cale warmly spoke to Neo.

�Young master Neo, cheer up. We�re bound to face such unbelievable situations at least once in our lives.�

�Ah, yes. I suppose so.�

Neo could not even look at Venion, as he just haphazardly responded to Cale.

�You need to drink to forget about everything when something terrible like that happens. Young master Neo, let�s get wasted tonight. Young master Venion, would you like to join us as well?�

Venion calmly observed Cale. He had lost the Marquis�s trust since losing the Black Dragon. Venion was suspecting the organization that gave him the Black Dragon based on the knights� testimony and the evidence left behind, but he could not get rid of the suspicion he had for Cale�s group, who happened to spend a night there at the same time.

But he didn�t have any good reasons to suspect Cale. That was why he had spoken to Cale to confirm one more time.

�If you drink and then wake up to have a hangover drink, all your bad memories will disappear.�

But seeing Cale Henituse continue to spew nonsense like before made Venion realize he did not need to confirm anything.

�Thank you for the offer, young master Cale. Maybe next time.�

�Ah, it�s disappointing, but I guess next time it is.�

Venion walked past Cale. As he did, he could hear Cale speaking to Neo.

�Your knight was extremely pale young master Neo. You should have prepared in advance for such a situation. How could you lose all those valuable things at once? Cheer up. You may not recover what you lost, but what can you do about it? You have to just live on.�

�Sigh. That trash.�

Venion smiled at the nobles who were observing him after hearing that he went to the Northeast, and held back his anger.

�That stupid dragon and that paralyzed son of a bitch. Where did all of them go?�

Venion only looked forward as he walked. After taking a peek at Venion walking away, Cale turned away from the extremely pale Neo without any hesitation. Of course, he gave Neo a final remark before doing so.

�Cheer up.�

Cale knew that Neo would be ripped a new one by Venion.

�Young master Cale-�

Cale watched Eric, who looked like he had a lot to say but could not figure out how to say it, before sitting back down.

� �It is my turn next.�

Cale nodded his head after hearing the Black Dragon�s voice, and looked around the table. The Northeastern nobles were all looking at him. This was probably the first time they�ve ever seen such a normal version of Cale. That was why Cale picked up the bottle of alcohol in front of him to meet their expectations.

They all looked away almost instantly. JrNovels.com
