Cale was planning on heading to Harris Village anyways.

�I will help you.�

The Forest of Darkness that Choi Han had lived in for tens of years. Choi Han did not know everything about the Forest of Darkness, even after spending that long in there. He just knew bits and pieces of it.

And the human who knew the most about the Forest of Darkness after Choi Han was, of course, Cale.

�I think I know which swamp it is.�

Witira could see Cale smile as he gently answered.

�Doesn�t the Whale tribe want a peaceful life as the strongest lifeform in the ocean?�

Cale could see Witira�s point of view starting to change. She was slowly changing from a position of request to a position of making a deal.

�You are right, young master Cale.�

The Whales that wanted peace. That was only possible because they were strong. The Whale tribe in the novel did anything and everything to fight the mermaids.

�I, Witira, as the successor of the Whale chief, accept your conditions.�

WItira could see that Cale was still calm after she revealed her identity.

�You were the successor? Great. We can finalize our deal without delay.�

He just seemed happy that they could complete the deal right then and there. He reached his hand out as he asked.

�Am I supposed to speak formally to you now?�

�There is no need to do that, young master Cale. I need to hide my identity.�

�Only I should know about it?�

�Correct.�

Cale shook hands with Witira. That was enough. Cale plopped down on the couch once the Whale siblings left. He then looked up at the ceiling and started to speak.

�Hey you.�

The Black Dragon appeared and grudgingly responded.

�Do not call me, �you.��

�Then what should I call you?�

Cale could see the Black Dragon land on the other side of the couch and scrunch his nose. JrNovels.com
