�I apologize. I realized that I made a big mistake once I got here.�

Bud Illis immediately apologized to Ron. He then continued to speak.

�However, one of the five households did voluntarily bow down and go to serve the White Star in Arm.�

��What?�

Ron had not known about this.

He had believed all five assassin households had been destroyed or massacred like his own.

�He is talking about my family.�

Cale turned away from the Mercenary King and Ron. The robed mage was not looking at anyone as he continued to speak.

�The Poeff household. My uncle who was second-in-command took his people and crawled into Arm.�

Cale remembered that this mage was the only survivor of his family.

�Then my uncle�s group along with Arm�s members massacred our Poeff household. They killed everyone except me, who was hiding.�

The mage was calling the second-in-command, �uncle.�

�My mother, my father, my siblings, they all died.�

The Poeff was massacred but not massacred at the same time.

The mage did not say anything else. However, they could feel his hatred for Arm, the White Star, and his uncle�s people.

A short silence filled the area.

Cale was the one who broke the silence.

�It doesn�t sound like you finished what you needed to say.�

The smile on Bud Illis�s face became wider.

Bud, who had lived for over thirty years, knew that Cale was younger than him, however, he did not mind Cale�s casual tone.

In fact, he responded right back.

�Do you know why the White Star wants to kill me?�

�Didn�t you just tell us?�

Cale took a gulp of alcohol as he responded back. JrNovels.com
