# When I'm the angriest? (7)

Cale found the Super Rock's question to be odd.

Rescue the people who are going to be sacrifices.

Destroy the central temple.

Just destroy everything.

Did those questions even need to be asked?

They needed to do all three.

Duke Deruth must have read something on Cale’s face as Cale made up his mind internally as he tightly grabbed both of Cale’s arms.

“...Cale!”

The emotion visible in his eyes had moved from concern to fear.

“You’re not thinking about something else right now, are you?”

“Don’t worry, father. I will do a good job with my assigned task.”

Cale responded without any hesitation to calm him down.

“...Yes. Cale, do not forget the mindset of the House of Henituse. We just need to live peacefully.”

‘I'm not so sure about that.’

The Duke Deruth that Cale knew was someone who found his family, household, and territory to be important. That was why he understood why Deruth was acting like this and was empathetic with him.

Cale recalled the things he saw after coming back from the temple and before Deruth called him here. He opened Duke Deruth's palm and wrote on it with his finger.

< Basement training ground >

“......!”

Duke Deruth’s pupils started to shake.

The Henituse Estate basement training ground. That place was currently said to be closed.

Deruth claimed that there was no need for it as soon as the White Star became the White Star-nim and closed it.

How did that make any sense?

No matter how much money the House of Henituse has, they were still a martial arts family.

Even Basen, who was going to focus on administrative affairs, was taught basic martial arts and Duchess Violan was so dedicated to martial arts to the point that she had her own armor despite being in charge of the cultural heritage business.

Such people closing the training ground?

Cale did not believe it and had watched the path to the basement training ground from a distance.

Some old employees seemed to go in and out of there.

It was as if they were going in and out to put miscellaneous things in there.

However, those people were people from the Molan household.

They were the people who originally ruled over the underworld of the Eastern continent with Ron but had escaped from the White Star and barely managed to survive. They were the reclusive experts who had gathered under the banner of the Molan household.

The people who were even older than Ron were disguised as employees to go in and out of the basement training ground.

Of course, he had only witnessed it about twice, but...

Cale was certain.

‘Something’s up.’

In this illusion world, Deruth, Ron, and other elderly people of the House of Henituse were trying to do something while leaving Cale out of it.

Starting with Cale, they were doing everything they could to leave the people they considered the youngsters, Basen, Choi Han, etc, out of it.

‘How can I just sit back and watch?

I may look young but I'm in my late thirties.

As for Choi Han, he’s probably at Ron and Deruth’s great grandfather’s age.’

Of course, Cale might leave Choi Han out as well because of his pure personality.

“Father. I plan on only doing the task that I am assigned. So, please don’t worry. I'm just going to get some fresh air at Puzzle City.”

Deruth frowned and nodded his head after hearing Cale's calm tone.

“Yes. Do that. However, don't cause any incidents and do only what the staff tell you to do.”

“Yes, father. I will do so.”

‘Sorry, father.

I don’t plan on doing that.’

Cale did not make his inner thoughts visible and responded reliably, making Deruth sigh and wave his hand.

“Go get some rest.”

“Yes, father. Father, please make sure to get some rest as well. Take it slow.”

“Pffft.” Deruth chuckled at Cale’s comment and nodded his head.

Cale smiled back and left Deruth’s personal study.

He headed toward his room with a just as relaxed face.

“Human! Did you get in trouble?”

“I want to go to Puzzle City too, nya!”

“It’s nice to eat crackers after you get scolded, nya.”

The children averaging ten-years-old approached Cale as soon as he entered the room.
