�How can an assassin come back injured?�

�I am still alive.�

Cale recalled the contents of Ron�s messages to him.

< I am still alive. You are alive as well, right, young master? >

Cale let out a sigh.

�That mouth of yours is still alive at least. Beacrox.�

��Yes sir.�

Beacrox responded without any energy. Cale put his hand on Beacrox�s shoulder.

�Hurry up and go repack our bags. Grab everyone as well.�

Cale�s next words made Beacrox quickly turn his head around and look at Cale.

�We need to at least get rid of the mermaid poison.�

The mermaid poison had the darkness attribute and there was no known cure. Beacrox, who specialized in torture and assassinations, knew this better than anybody else.

It was the same for Ron. That was the reason why he came to see his son. He returned home, to his second hometown, to see his son one last time before he died.

It was thanks to Ron�s immunity to many poisons as well as the highest-grade potions from Count Deruth that were preventing his flesh from drying up and the poison from spreading elsewhere.

The highest-grade potion was allowing him to have some strength while feeling no pain. It was only possible because the Henituse family was wealthy.

�T, there is a way to cure him?�

Beacrox, the usually prim and proper man, stuttered. Cale repeated his order very clearly.

�Move quickly.�

It was something that Rosalyn was supposed to figure out in the novel, but Cale had already used it once to save Paseton.

�Don�t worry. Your father still has many years to live.�

Although Cale said it jokingly, it did not feel that way.

Contrary to his words, Cale�s expression was stiffer than ever.

�Damn it.�

It wasn�t that he was angry because he would not get to rest. JrNovels.com
