He needed to meet with Duke Fredo again.

Fredo was with Solena in his bedroom.
Cale looked toward Fredo and bluntly asked.

�Where are they?�

Fredo had a bright smile on his face.

�My son, you must finally be looking for the bodies.�
�Haaaaa. You crazy bastard.�

Cale could feel Solena flinch, but he ignored it and plopped down on the empty chair across from Fredo.

�Where are they? Actually, no.�

Cale asked the same question before shaking his head. He then asked Fredo a different question.

�Why did you do it?�
�What are you talking about?�
�Don�t feign ignorance. It�s funny to hear someone who just smiled and asked if we were looking for the bodies pretending like he doesn�t know anything now.�
�Mm. I guess it is funny.�

Fredo nodded his head as if he agreed with Cale.
He then continued to speak.

�It was because the weight wasn�t balanced.�
�The weight?�
�A deal or a contract means that both sides are giving something of equal value to the other.�

Fredo believed that they needed to be clear on what each side was giving and receiving.

�And when both sides of the scale are equal in weight� That�s when a contract is set.�
�You thought that holding the Ranger Brigade members hostage was balancing the scale?�
�Yes. Shouldn�t I at least do that much?�

Choi Han who came through the mirror after Cale started to speak at that moment.

�Is that why you included Cale-nim�s blood as a condition?�

Choi Han�s gaze did not look happy as he glared at Fredo. Actually, there was a lot of animosity that Choi Han did not hide.

Choi Han thought Cale had more trust in Fredo than before, but in Choi Han�s point of view, Fredo was just an enemy aiming for one of his family member�s blood.
He saw him as someone who could stab them in the back at any moment.
