Cale flinched a bit once he saw the white gloves.

�Aren�t those the gloves that he uses for torture to keep himself clean?�

Beacrox seemed to have an endless supply of those white gloves. After observing the existence of these white gloves for the first time, Cale stopped looking at Beacrox and the Vice Captain and looked around the island.

There was no sand on this island, instead, it was surrounded by rocks. If you looked a bit farther in from the shoreline, you could see a small forest as well. Well, it is probably more accurate to call it a garden than a forest since they said you should be able to walk all around it in less than an hour.

�Old man.�

�Yes, young master-nim.�

�Continue your story from earlier, the one about the thief.�

The old man stopped watching his son anchor the boat and pointed to the path they took to get here. He was pointing at the large whirlpool in front of this island.

�A long time ago, there was a thief who was faster than anybody else. The thief�s steps were so light and cautious that, supposedly, he could walk on water without causing the smallest of ripples.�

It really was the Sound of the Wind. Of course, walking on water was a bit of an exaggeration.

�Anyways, the thief supposedly stole something that belonged to a god. The legend says that the thief jumped off the Cliff of Winds with the items. You know which cliff that is, right? That was how the god�s item and the thief disappeared from this world, as well as how the whirlpools came to exist.�

The old man smiled as gently as the tanned wrinkles on his arms.

�That is why there used to be sacrifices in the past for the god�s item.�

�Not anymore?�

�If it really was a god�s item, why would that god bother us humans instead of taking back his item?�

Cale agreed with the old man.

It was not a god�s item. It was a human�s power. That was why a god could not take it.

�Then I will look around the island now.�

�Yes sir. I will be waiting for you here.�

The old man headed toward his son as the Vice Captain jumped up.

�Young master-nim, me too, ugh.�

He then curled back down. Cale clicked his tongue and motioned for Beacrox to come over. Once Beacrox arrived, Cale whispered in Beacrox�s ear.

�Since you are Ron�s son, I�m sure you are also not normal.�

�And?� JrNovels.com
