Bud Illis let out a small chuckle. That chuckle soon became very loud.

�Hehahahahahaha!�

His laughter was as refreshing as his smile.

�Friend, I really like you.�

Bud Illis put his arm around Cale�s shoulders. Cale looked at the green eyes beyond the glasses with a stoic expression. The Mercenary King did not care as he kept his arm around Cale�s shoulders and led him to his table.

�Come, come. The alcohol that will take the place of a handshake is on my table. Let�s go over there.�

Tap.

Cale moved Bud�s hand from his shoulder.

�Hmm?�

Bud Illis looked at Cale in confusion as Cale stoically started to speak.

�Follow me. Both the food and alcohol will be of the highest quality.�

�Oh, really?�

Bud Illis started to smile.

Cale started to walk back upstairs as he responded back.

�Yes, I�m the boss of this inn.�

Cale motioned to Beacrox, who was looking over from the kitchen, and started to walk back up the stairs. He then looked at the table where Bud�s associate was sitting and continued to speak to Bud.

�I have a lot of money. It�ll be my treat.�

�Wow.�

Bud�s jaws could not help but drop.

��How cool.�

The Mercenary King truly seemed to be full of admiration.

Cale heard Raon�s voice in his mind as he was climbing up the stairs.

� Human! The Mercenary King is more than just a little weird! He seems to be crazy in a different way than that crazy Clopeh Sekka!

Cale ignored that voice and started to speak to Ron. JrNovels.com
