Cale extended his hand and pulled off the crown on his head.

He happened to make eye contact with Raon.

“Huuuuuuuu, huuuuuuuuu!”

Raon was taking some deep breaths.

“What are you doing?”

“It’s nothing! Human, you looked as big as Goldie gramps for a moment but I think I was mistaken!”

That comment made Choi Han and Choi Jung Soo’s eyes cloud over.

Choi Han looked down at his palm.

He had asked Cale what he had gotten and he had expected Cale to say that he got what he had wanted.

‘It’s completely covered in sweat.’

The moment he saw the crown-wearing Cale’s stoic face… Choi Han’s face had stiffen at that moment.

‘Jung Soo doesn’t seem to have realized it yet.’

Choi Han, who had approached closer to Cale with Raon, had seen the look on Choi Jung Soo’s face as Choi Jung Soo stood a bit farther away.

‘He looked scared.’

He was certain that Choi Jung Soo had been scared of Cale.

He looked as if he chickened out from getting any closer.

Of course, Choi Jung Soo looked as if he would never admit to that.

“Cale-nim.”

This was the first time that Choi Han was curious about a power that Cale had gotten.

He had never experienced something like this.

“What is it?”

‘What is the power you earned this time?’

That was the question he wanted to ask.

However, at that moment…

Tatatap. Tatatap!

He heard some urgent footsteps.

Chief Eunuch Wi, who ran past the blanking out Fist King on the stairs, looked at Cale.

“Young master Kim-nim!”

The cold look on his face as he temporarily took over the Sichuan Castle Lord’s residence was gone and his face was full of desperation.

“The Blood Cult has released the jiangshis!”

Choi Han turned from Chief Eunuch Wi to look at Cale. Cale was looking at the ceiling. He slowly closed his eyes before opening them back.

Cale then looked back down and made eye contact with Choi Han.

“What were you trying to say?”

“It’s nothing, Cale-nim. I will ask you later.”

“Okay.”

Cale nodded his head before putting the crown into his spatial pocket bag.

He heard the imposing voice of the Dominating Aura in his mind.

– I don’t think you would lose to the God of Death we saw last time at least when it comes to your aura.

Cale ignored the extremely excited voice.

He approached Chief Eunuch Wi.

“Where have the jiangshis appeared?”

“We have received reports that they have started to appear all around the Central Plains.”

Cale started walking up the stairs. Chief Eunuch Wi stuck right next to him.

“Please continue your explanation.”

Chief Eunuch Wi opened his mouth to speak again.

Cale walked past the Fist King at that moment. Neither Chief Eunuch Wi nor Cale had any time to pay attention to the Fist King.

“Ho. Hoho-”

The Fist King blankly looked up at Cale who walked past him. He had no choice but to look up at Cale as he was walking up the stairs.

However, wasn’t it normal for him to look up at Cale now?

That thought suddenly brushed past the Fist King’s mind. He would have thought it was nonsensical in the past, but the Fist King currently did not have the courage or the guts to say that such thoughts were wrong.

He could only take deep breaths and calm himself.

Cale, who walked up without having any ideas about this, looked at the map that was open in the Sichuan Castle Lord’s study and the numerous reports.

It was rare to see him looking so serious.

“…They’ve appeared in the Imperial Palace as well?”

“Yes, young master-nim. The jiangshis first appeared in the capital and the Imperial Palace before they started appearing in other areas as well.”

“Mm.”

Cale groaned. Chief Eunuch Wi bit down on his lip.

‘I’m sure it is weighing heavily on him.’

Young master Kim had purified living jiangshis and had gone through all sorts of suffering until now.

But to see jiangshis suddenly appearing like this… How difficult must this be for him to handle?

Chief Eunuch Wi could not handle looking at Cale’s eyes any longer and turned to look at the map.

As for Cale, he was deep in thought.

‘Did the Blood Cult bastards go crazy?’

The appearance of jiangshis?

That was understandable.
