�No thank you. I must leave now.�
�Excuse me?�

Bobe noticed a bright light suddenly appear in the air.
It was a teleportation magic circle.

Merchant Bob and the others who had come looking for Bobe�s help were already gathered together by that light. Bobe started to tap his foot with anxiety as Cale took the checks from Bobe�s palm and coolly stuffed them into the hunter�s shirt pocket before stepping onto the teleportation magic circle with a smile.

�Then we must be off now.�
�No, wait-!�

Paaaaat!

Bobe reached his hand toward Cale, but he had disappeared before Bobe could touch him.
He blankly stared at the sky before taking out the checks from his pocket.

��J, jackpot.�

Cale appeared in the middle of a beautiful garden filled with fall flowers. He sat down on a bench while looking at the stylish sculpture fountain.

� Human, the way it sparkles is so pretty!

As Raon mentioned, the sparkling magic fountain brightened the area. It was nighttime, but the magic lights around the garden were giving it a different kind of beauty.

�Hey, I didn�t expect you to really give him all that money. Ten million gallons. Aren�t you being too generous?�

Bud who was plopped down on the ground looked up at Cale and asked.
Cale caressed On and Hong�s heads that were on his knee as he responded to the question.

�He placed himself in danger of being bewitched and dying for us, so I should give him the money I promised. Oh, also��
�What is it?�
�Can you deploy some mercenaries around Mr. Bobe and Nake Mountain?�
�Is this a commission?�
�Yes. It is a commission. I need someone to make sure the hunter doesn�t say anything weird to others and to protect the hunter and that village in case the White Star drops by.�
�How thorough of you. I got it. I was planning on properly building a Mercenaries Guild on the Western continent as well, so I might as well bring some of them over to slowly get that rolling.�

Cale started to speak as the way Bud was responding did not make him look trustworthy at all.

�You better do it prop-.�
�Hey! You, you-!�

However, Cale was cut off and someone else�s voice filled the area around the fountain.

�You, you-!�

The person huffing and puffing as they headed over to the fountain was pointing a finger in disbelief at Cale while touching their forehead with the other hand. JrNovels.com
