Trash of the Count's Family

Teaser

Cale couldn’t help but wonder.

‘Do I have some unknown affinity with animals?’

He could not understand why he kept getting tangled up with so many different types of Beast people. Furthermore, they were all Beast people who were either struggling or in danger.

‘It’s not like I’m running an animal hospital or something.’

Cale looked around him. Ron and Beacrox were already standing by Witira and Cale so that they could see if anybody was approaching them. They really were a sharp father-son duo.

Cale’s gaze turned back toward Witira.

“What is the information that you want to trade?”

Witira used her tongue to lick her lower lips after seeing Cale’s gaze. Her mouth was going dry after seeing how Cale looked like he had no interest at all in her information.

However, Cale’s mind was just in a state of chaos right now.

‘What a mess it would be if I get tangled up with Tigers too.’

Cale was thinking about how horrible the future would be as Witira finally started to speak.

“Actually, you do not necessarily need to give us any information. It is us sharing information with you.”

Cale’s expression became odd.

Nothing in life was free. He continued to stare at Witira before he proceeded to speak.

“I’ll at least listen to what you have to say.”

Witira nodded her head and started to speak. She recited the information she had gathered while patrolling the Eastern continent’s coast.

“The organization you mentioned before, Arm, has taken full control of the Eastern continent’s underworld.”

Ron’s eyes headed toward Witira’s lips.

“The Tiger tribe discovered that a portion of Arm had crossed over to the Western continent. While gathering more information about that, they learned that a large number of experts have already arrived on the Western continent.”

Cale nodded his head.

It made sense. The magic spearman, the blonde sword master, all of them were rare experts.

Witira observed Cale nodding his head as she continued to speak.

“And they discovered that Arm’s First Battle Brigade, one of their many battle brigades, will conduct a large scale move in the near future.”

‘Hmm?’

Cale, who was just blankly nodding his head, stopped moving.

“…What did you say?”

Cale wondered if he had heard correctly.

‘What is coming over?’

“The First Battle Brigade. The Tiger tribe is certain that the entire brigade is getting ready to move.”

“…Where?”

“Here.”

“The Western continent?”

“Yes, the Western continent.”

‘Ho.’

Cale was at a loss for words after hearing this information that was much larger in scale than he had expected. He then raised his hand to cover his neck because it was getting the chills.

Witira noticed the worried expression on Cale’s face.

‘I knew he would worry about it.’

She started to feel warm thinking that Cale was seriously worried about the Western continent. However, Cale was worried about himself, not the continent.

“Young master Cale, that is why.”

‘That is why? There’s more?’

Cale looked toward Witira, who brought over information he did not want, like he was looking at a ticking bomb. However, Witira continued to speak, as if she was trying to resolve the concern on Cale’s mind.

“The Tiger tribe and the Whales are currently running around gathering more information. The Tiger tribe expects the brigade to move this winter.”

Cale started to frown. Witira had said that the Tiger tribe was close to extinction because of Arm. So why were they poking their noses around digging up information? Were they aiming to get revenge?

“The Tiger tribe had a suggestion for us when they shared that information with us.”

Cale quickly started to speak. He had a feeling that he should not hear the details of their suggestion.

“I see. So, what is the information you want from me?”

That was his way of trying to brush it aside. However, it was for naught, as Witira nodded her head and described the suggestion.

“What they suggested was that, the moment the First Battle Brigade reaches the center of the ocean…”

Cale started to frown and looked down at Witira’s waist.

Tap. Tap.

Witira was caressing the whip wrapped around her waist as she slowly continued to speak.

“We kill them all.”

Cale let out a deep sigh.

He finally understood why the secret organization worked with the mermaids in order to try to take control of the sea route. It was so that they could move their members to the Western continent safely.

Every word that Witira was saying sounded like thunder in Cale’s ears.

“The Tiger tribe thinks we should get rid of them and leave no traces behind. The ocean will be advantageous for us because we will be able to reduce the number of injuries on our side, as well more easily capture some prisoners to pry out more information.”

“…Really?”

“Yes. It is a very entertaining plan.”

Hoo hoo.

Witira’s laugh roamed around Cale’s head.
