Ron and Choi Han�s relationship in �The Birth of a Hero� was just like this. They were always at each other�s throats, but still continued to travel together. They were tied together by a contract, but they both knew they could also rely on one another.

Cale thought that a lot of things got twisted because of his actions to not get beaten up, but it looked like their relationship was forming in a similar manner.

�It is disappointing that it got twisted a bit, but my life comes first. I can�t let the novel dictate my life.�

For Cale, his life was the first priority. After that, it was that everybody living within his territory lived peacefully. What else could you need?

�Sweet teas are really the best.�

Ron flinched at the words that Cale happily said.

The tea time for these three individuals ended in the middle of the downpour.

�I guess the next time I will see you will be at the capital.�

Cale shook his head toward Billos, who greeted Cale as he came down from the third floor after tea time.

�I will be coming here everyday for a while.�

�Is that so? To read the book?�

�Whatever I feel like doing.�

�Please feel free to visit whenever you would like. This tea shop is open to you at all times young master.�

Billos was watching Cale, who walked by while pretending not to hear what he said, with curiosity. Ron was just quietly observing them from behind.

The bastard son of the Flynn Merchant Guild. The fact that he was extremely talented made the official children resent him. That was why Billos had to come to this remote, yet profitable region in the Henituse territory.

He couldn�t even use the family name of, �Flynn,� either.

Ron was observing Cale being friendly with this greedy Billos and clicked his tongue. It was because he thought to himself, �Why does it matter to me if that puppy young master is close to Billos?�

�Tsk. I guess even dislike creates affection.�

�I don�t want my dislike of you to turn into affection.�

Ron let out a sigh after seeing that the clueless Choi Han had misunderstood.

�Not you, punk.�

Ron�s gaze was on Cale.

Ron was planning on heading to the capital anyways. It was because he had a bad feeling about it. He had been thinking about it countless times ever since Choi Han came out from the Forest of Darkness and entered the city with that dense murderous aura on him.

The reason Ron had to hide out in this territory. The reason he had to escape from the Eastern Continent. It looked like he needed to research the people responsible for it one more time. JrNovels.com
