Red smoke instantly started to rise from the badges.
Cale moved his wind.

Bang!

The Illusionist�s hands that were creating symbols stopped moving with a small explosion. The Illusionist smiled brightly toward Cale.

�What�s the point of grabbing my head? My hands were still moving. I already finished the signing.�

�What?�

Cale immediately started to speak after seeing the red smoke start to rise.

�Choi Han, dodge!�

However, Choi Han could not move. He didn�t know why, but he was frozen stiff and could not move at all. Cale heard Choi Han�s shaking voice at that moment.

�Why, why did the darkness suddenly-!�

One chandelier had fallen, but the banquet hall was still bright. It was very bright. Cale�s face was crumpled in a frown as he jerked the Illusionist�s neck.

�What the hell did you do?�

Cale was able to look into the Illusionist�s eyes for the first time. He then realized his mistake.
The Illusionist was different than the White Star�s other subordinates Cale had met before. Cale could see the eyes of a wild beast that had yet to give up.
She leisurely whispered in Cale�s ear.

�Mr. Cale, you need to be on equal grounds if you want to make a deal with me. I created that equal grounds for you.�

He could see Choi Han who didn�t know what to do as he slowly became surrounded by the red smoke.

Swooooooosh-

Cale tried to send his gust of wind toward the red smoke.

�Ah, Choi Han might get seriously injured if you attack.�

However, he could not act rashly after hearing the Illusionist�s comment. She looked toward Cale and joyfully continued to speak.

�Okay, I�ll threaten you as well. Let go of my neck if you don�t want to see Choi Han cut his own neck. Got it?�

He heard the White Star�s voice as well.

��You asked if it was just this? Of course not.�

The White Star who was slowly observing Cale�s stiff expression started to speak with a more satisfied expression.
He had thoroughly prepared after being defeated multiple times. JrNovels.com
