Glenn immediately started to speak to answer Cale�s question.

�That is the problem. One person out of the 1,001 people. That person is someone who should never stop communicating with us. But that person is unreachable as well.�
�Who is that person?�

Cale looked toward Bud. Bud opened his eyes and started to speak.

�A Rat.�

Cale thought about the Mixed-blood Dwarf Rat Mueller.
The Rat tribe was known for their dexterity, tiny bodies, and agility.

�That punk remains as far back as possible for the worst possible situation. He is the best at running away. But even he stopped contacting us.�

He was first in the Mercenaries Guild when it came to running away.

That meant that he was the Eastern continent�s number one when it came to running away. However, even he stopped contacting them.

�This should be enough explanation, right?�

Bud looked toward Cale and asked while Glenn responded to that. Glenn looked anxious and was about to tell Bud that they needed to do something.
However, Bud was a bit faster at saying something to Cale.

�Looks like you�ll need to help me.�
�Why are you asking such an obvious question?�

Cale answered back without any hesitation.

�What do you need?�
�Information.�

Cale understood what information the Mercenary King wanted even without any details.

�You need information on what happened to the Ranger Brigade. Is that all?�
�Yes. Mercenaries frequently get hurt and will eventually die while completing a job. But I can�t brush this aside as if nothing happened.�

Cale stood up and responded after hear Bud�s statement.

�Of course not.�

He obviously had to take action.
Choi Han approached him with a stiff expression after hearing Cale�s response. They needed to go toward the restricted Gate to the Demon World and the White Star�s territory around it in order to get the information the Mercenary King needed.
This was a dangerous task, and the Mercenary King knew this was the case as well.

�It would be great if you go with me.�

That was all the Mercenary King wanted.
However, Cale shook his head. JrNovels.com
