�Sure, whatever.�

Hans opened his mouth to say something as he looked at Cale�s nonchalant expression, but a different noise filled the study.

Knock Knock Knock

Choi Han had arrived. Hans opened the door, and Cale could see Choi Han standing outside. Cale waved his hand to send Hans away, and Hans bowed his head as he quietly exited the study. Only Cale and Choi Han were left in the room.

Cale kept the desk between them as he pointed at the chair across from him.

�Come sit down.�

Choi Han slowly looked around the study as he sat down on the chair. Cale gave him enough time to look around the study.

Like a typical pure and smart hero, Choi Han liked books. That was why the first thing he did after coming out of the Forest of Darkness and arriving in Harris Village was to learn how to read from the Chief. After looking around for a long time, Choi Han�s gaze finally landed on Cale.

�What is the payment?�

�Getting right to the point.�

Cale smiled looking at how Choi Han didn�t beat around the bush.

Payment. Choi Han was thorough when it came to debts he owed.

Cale, Kim Rok Soo, realized that he had changed the contents of the beginning of �The Birth of a Hero.� He could see that even more things would change because of it. That was why he was trying his best to not change too many things, but�

He had to go to the capital. Then even more things will change.

Cale put a piece of paper on the desk as he looked toward Choi Han.

�There is a way for you to pay back for the meal, but I need to first determine whether you will be capable of doing it. In simple terms, this is an interview.�

�Please go ahead.�

Choi Han immediately agreed to Cale�s talk of checking his qualifications. Cale started to ask.

�Do you know how to protect people?�

�� What do you mean?�

Choi Han flinched for the first time and asked after a moment. Cale�s gaze started to turn sharp. He was looking at the piece of paper on the desk and not at Choi Han.

Although he had to quickly change the plan, it might bring him more gains than before. He could prevent Choi Han�s party from getting the ancient powers while taking the ones that he needs for himself.

Those powers were useless to them anyway.

Cale kept his gaze on the paper as he continued to speak. JrNovels.com
