Book 2: Chapter 84: I'm weak! (4)

Tap, tap.

Cale gently tapped the smooth head. He kept going back to touching it, potentially because it was a bit rough.

This child who resembled a young monk looked at Cale with even more wariness.

Human, is he the world?

Raon reacted to Cale calling the child Central Plains.

Cale nodded his head and started speaking.

His gaze was directed toward Chief Eunuch Wi and gramps.

First, we need a place to chat on our own.

He was basically telling the two of them to get lost.

He was telling them to be tactful and go.

* * *

Cale leaned against the window sill.

He looked out and saw Chief Eunuch Wi leave the annex and walk back the path that they had walked.

The man calmed gramps was following behind him and seemed to be laughing.

Wheres Ron?

Choi Han, who had been quietly listening, started to speak.

He followed the eunuchs. He said that he will look into outfits. He took Durst and Toonka as well. The eunuchs said that they would need to look for clothes that fit Toonkas size so he said he would just go with them.

And Beacrox?

He is going to lock Number 7 up before going to look into the cooking ingredients.

Choi Han was peeking at Lee Soo Hyuk every so often while responding to Cales question.

Sui Khan, who was seated on a chair covered in silk, noticed his gaze and looked slightly up to look at Choi Han.

"What is it?

.

Sui Khan smiled after seeing Choi Han silently look away.

I guess you want to get stronger.

Choi Han pretended not to hear that.

Sui Khan continued speaking.

Or maybe you want to see Jung Soo?

Sui Khan, Choi Han, and Cale all looked toward one spot at that moment.

"Wow! His head is so round! Its a perfect sphere!

They were looking at Raon, who was flapping his wings in the air while rubbing someone's head with his front paws.

That someone was naturally that punk.

The World.

Hey Central Plains.

Raon flinched after hearing Cale calling for the Central Plains.

Human! Why are you calling him in such a gentle tone? Are you planning on bullying him?

The boy's shoulders shook after hearing that. Cale didnt care and he sat down on a chair across from Central Plains.

Hey Central Plains, is this your clone?

His voice was quite gentle.

Cale's gaze was on the boy, whose body was small compared to the back of the chair and whose legs were too short to reach the floor now that he was sitting down.

Nod.

Central Plains warily looked at Cale and nodded his head.

Cale extended a hand and placed it on Central Plains chair. He then smiled as he spoke.

Hey Central Plains, you should respond properly.

Raon flinched and slowly moved behind Choi Han's back. Choi Han looked away and looked out the window instead.

As for Sui Khan

Screeeech.

He pulled over a chair and sat down next to Central Plains. He then looked at Central Plains with a tired smile on his face.

Choi Han! It looks like Sui Khan must have been a similar kind of human as our human!

Everybody pretended not to hear what Raon said.

Instead, Cale and Sui Khan just quietly observed Central Plains.

Yes sir! I am Central Plains!

Central Plains responded in an extremely energetic manner.

However, his chubby hands were still clutching his clothes.

Originally, I planned on giving some time before I came to find you, but, unlike my plans, unlike my plans, that-

Of course, he could not continue what he was saying. Central Plains lowered his head after making eye contact with Cale.

Cale-nims powers were sealed more than I had expected That wasnt my intention, sir.

Central Plains raised his head.

He then extended his arms out.

His chubby hands grabbed at Cales clothes. Central Plains continued to speak as Cale flinched.

The sealing of powers happens to maintain the balance of the worlds. So the God of Balance-!

Central Plains could not say more. Cale calmly responded after seeing that Central Plains looked as if he could not say anything despite wanting to do so.

"I've been hearing a lot of stories about balance these days.

His gaze moved to Sui Khan. Maybe it was because he looked like Lee Soo Hyuk right now, but it was familiar yet awkward.

"What is it?

Do you know the God of Balance?

I do.

Then please tell me as much as you are allowed to tell me.

I'll organize a file and give it to you.

Cale started to frown.

Team leader You organizing files?

Sui Khan shrugged his shoulders at Cales unbelieving gaze.

He brushed back his long hair that was falling down as he continued.

I did some office work for the God of Death.

I see.

Cale answered as if he did not believe him at all and placed his hand on Central Plains head.

What is the identity of this clone? Who does the Empress Dowager know you as?

Sir, there was a time when the Empress Dowager ran away with the current Emperor in her arms when he was younger! At that time, she came into the small temple this body was in to catch her breath!

Central Plains responded quickly and in detail after seeing Cales gaze.

As someone who had made up his mind to pick up his sword to protect something, he could not accept these words being said about his only blood.

His grip around his scabbard tightened.

Hey Han.

Choi Han felt a hand grabbing his arm at that moment.

Sui Khan had reached his hand out to grab him.

He heard Cale's voice at the same time.

We will be able to determine Choi Jung Soos location based on the movements of the Martial Arts Alliance and the Unorthodox faction.

Choi Han flinched after hearing Cale's calm voice.

He then remembered how both Sui Khan and this world called the Central Plains were unable to accurately determine Choi Jung Soos location because he was a wanderer.

Yes sir! Using information from the Imperial family, the movements of the Martial Arts world, especially that of the Orthodox faction, can be easily determined!

Choi Han finally felt as if he could understand why Central Plains was excited.

He released his grip around his scabbard.

He made eye contact with Cale.

Cale commented with a stoic look on his face.

"We should go get him.

Choi Han flinched after hearing that they were going to go meet Choi Jung Soo. Cale then added on as if he understood.

We will go to the Blood Cult after that.

Choi Jung Soo, Central Plains, and Number 7.

Going around with the three of them would mean that he would never be lacking information.

Since I have been weakened so much, we need to gather as much strength as possible to take on the Blood Cult.

This was especially true because the world was currently in an explosive situation where the Great War of the Triumvirate might start.

We need power, especially in such times.

The power to protect themselves and change the situation.

Tap. Tap. Cale tapped on the armrest as he commented.

We will need quite a lot of help from the Empress Dowager.

Yes sir! The Empress Dowager will help us!

By the way, why did Choi Jung Soo end up a Public Enemy of the Martial Arts world?

Central Plains commented with a serious look on his face as if he had expected this question.

There was a time in the past where the world was full of Martial Arts Emperors. One of those Emperors was the Sword Emperor.

Cale nonchalantly commented.

Choi Jung Soo must have the Sword Emperor's martial arts text or something?

Eek!

Central Plains subconsciously screamed in shock.

As expected! I respect you so much, Cale-nim!

Cale nodded his head.

He heard Raons voice in his head at that moment.

Human! There is someone outside the door!

He looked at the wooden door with a beautiful phoenix on it and opened his mouth.

Choi Han, lets open the door.

Choi Han did not seem shocked at all as he approached the door and pushed it to the side.

Clunk.

Outside the door that opened with a slightly rough noise

Excuse me, grim reaper.

Chief Eunuch Wi bowed toward Cale with an extremely stiff expression on his face.

Is her Majesty calling for me?

Yes sir. That is the case.

Cale got up and approached Chief Eunuch Wi.

Let us quickly go. We are prepared.

He then added a comment.

You move extremely quietly, sir.

Chief Eunuch Wi's shoulders slightly trembled at that comment.

Chief Eunuch Wi Chul Myeong had faced all sorts of hardships to reach the position of Chief Eunuch from the countless eunuchs.

However, he got cold sweat on his back from what he had just experienced.

He realized that I showed up.

Cale seemed quite nonchalant about it as well.

That was understandable because Cale was an expert.

I'm sure I heard it!

However, he had clearly heard it.

As expected! I respect you so much, Cale-nim!

He had heard what this young monk dressed in a eunuchs clothes had said to the grim reaper.

The grim reaper was being called this weird term, Cale.

Chief Eunuch Wi. Although that sir has the appearance of a young monk He is not human. He is a mysterious existence that we do not even dare to fathom about.

The Empress Dowagers voice echoed in his mind.

We must treat that sir with the greatest of respects. I believe that both his Majesty and I were able to survive only because of that sir's blessing.

Chief Eunuch Wi, no, the Empress Dowager thought that the grim reaper was an errand boy for the young monk. However, the young monk was using honorifics toward the grim reaper and showing quite a lot of respect.

Maybe he really is a grim reaper.

He truly might be a scary existence who came from the underworld to gather souls.

Chief Eunuch Wi bowed deeply.

I shall lead the way, sir.

He then made up his mind.

I must inform her Majesty of this before she meets with the grim reaper!

He needed to let her know that the young monk, the individual they believed might be a god, respected and served the grim reaper.

Chief Eunuch Wi's breathing was silent as he walked but his heart was beating wildly.

* * *

I greet his Majesty.

Cale bowed.

When he went to meet the Empress Dowager The Emperor was present as well.
