�I�ve been waiting for you for a very long time.�

The boy who looked weak but stubborn was looking at Cale with a passionate gaze.

�What�s up with him?�

Cale thought that Basen was acting weird. However, he soon calmed himself. He thought it was better that nobody other than Basen was here in this underground training ground.

�Basen.�

Basen looked directly at Cale after hearing his name. He had heard about everything Cale had done, as well as the rumors spreading about him right now.

Basen suddenly recalled the young Cale Henituse who had looked at him with a pitiful expression about a month after he had come to live in this residence.

�You are part of the Henituse household. Remember that. No matter where you go, your last name is Henituse, you got that? Don�t you remember what father said? Listen to me unless you are an idiot. Tell people that the Henituse blood flows through you, no matter what.�

�How can I��
�Shut up and do as I say. Otherwise, you won�t be able to live in this house. Do you think the cousins and the others would leave you alone? Are you going to act like an idiot?�

His hyung-nim had never raised his fist toward him even when he was living his life as trash, just treating him as an outsider. Basen knew that that was the best Cale could do to help him.

�You need to protect your mother. At least you���

Basen still had no idea why the young Cale had such a sad expression on his face at that time. The young Cale and Cale�s mother. Nobody was willing to say anything about Cale�s mother.
Basen started to speak while looking at his hyung-nim.

�Yes, hyung-nim.�

Cale slowly started to speak while looking back. The main reason that he had come to the capital. This was the first step to making that happen.
The underground training ground was quiet. A voice slowly started to speak to break the silence. Actually, it was not just one voice.

�Hyung-nim, I wish for you to become the territory lord.�
�What do you think about becoming the territory lord?�

They both spoke at the same time. Basen and Cale.

�Me as the territory lord?�
�You want me to be the territory Lord? Why?�

Both of their pupils were shaking as they looked at each other.

� Hmm? Neither of you want to be the territory lord? Then let�s ask little Lily if she wants to do it! She�ll destroy all enemies with her greatsword! She seems like she�ll become stronger than Basen and you, weak human! She�s reliable!

Raon excitedly shouted into Cale�s mind.

Clunk.

They heard the door to the training ground open and Cale made eye contact with Lily who showed up at the right time. He heard Raon�s voice at that moment as well. JrNovels.com
