Trash of the Count's Family

Nobody was able to say anything for a moment.

Cale could only stare at Mercenary King Bud Illis's hand due to the shock. …This human is a b, bit weird too!

He could hear Raon's shocked voice in his mind.

On and Hong who had jumped out of Cale's arms earlier were also looking at the Mercenary King as if he was weird. However, Mercenary King Bud Illis was unable to see the expressions on the faces of the children averaging nine-years-old.

“Ah. Friend, are you angry because I mistook you for someone else?”

Bud’s hand was still there as he looked toward Cale with an apologetic expression.

“I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I can’t really see without my glasses. Your hair color, eye color, and even the presence you give off is so similar that I thought you were him.”

Choi Han moved right behind Cale at that moment. The Mercenary King and Choi Han. The two of them were observing each other. An odd gaze filled Mercenary King Bud Illis’s face as he looked back toward Cale.

He smiled as he quietly responded back.

“…My hand is feeling really awkward now….”

Choi Han’s gaze was quite cold as he looked at Bud.

Choi Han had read the information Alberu had brought over as well.

‘Sword master. Also has a special ability that we have not been able to determine.’

That information alone was not enough to get him worried. However, he was just being careful just in case something unexpected happened.

However, Mercenary King Bud Illis’s comments made Choi Han start to worry.

‘Friend, nice to meet you!’

‘Your hair color, eye color, and even the presence you give off is so similar that I thought you were him.’

Someone whose eye color and hair color were similar to Cale.

Someone who gave off a similar presence.

There was only one person that came to mind.

The White Star.

The tips of Choi Han’s hands were tense.

Of course, if the White Star and Mercenary King were friends, then the information about how Arm and the White Star were aiming for the Mercenaries Guild had a high chance of being incorrect.

Either that, or there was something they were missing.

‘Most importantly.’

There was something else that made Choi Han have no choice but to be tense.

‘That bastard can almost completely tell how strong I am.’

Choi Han could not forget the look in the Mercenary King’s eyes when they made eye contact.

Those eyes had been quite cold and did not look drunk at all.

His eyes had clearly been observing Choi Han.

Someone who could tell Choi Han’s level of strength had to be around his level to do that.

That meant that this guy was not a sword master at the level of Duke Huten nor the crazy Clopeh Sekka. They were already strong, however, they were not strong enough for Choi Han to fear them.

There was something clearly different about this Mercenary King.

‘That is why it is an issue.’

The Mercenary King was only giving off the same level of strength as a regular sword master to Choi Han. However, he knew that the Mercenary King must have something else up his sleeve.

He was someone whose level of strength could not easily be determined. He was someone to be wary around.

‘I need to let him know.’

He needed to let Cale-nim know about this fact. However, he could not speak to Cale right now.

Choi Han saw Mercenary King Bud Illis start to speak again.

“…Are you going to reject my handshake?”

The cheeriness had disappeared from Bud Illis's face. Choi Han’s wariness shot up exponentially. It was at that moment.

“Hey.”

Cale started to speak. Choi Han couldn’t help but flinch. It was because Cale’s voice was cold. Choi Han stood next to Cale and turned his head.

‘…Cale-nim?’

He could see the expression on Cale’s face. A face that looked annoyed was looking at the Mercenary King. The cold voice then continued to speak.

“Put your hand away.”

Cale was telling the Mercenary King to put his hand away.

Silence filled the area at that moment.

The first floor of the inn was still loud and the former bandits who were now employees were doing their best to work hard while avoiding Cale's gaze, however…

It was completely silent around Cale.

But that silence was quickly broken.
