Hmm? Where is this? (Trash of the Count's Family Fanfiction)

Chapter 4

The room fell silent. Bud's question lingers but neither did Cale, Kim Rok Soo or the God of Death answered him. 

Choi Han was especially nervous. His mind was chaotic, going through many words that he should say and help Cale divert the topic out of this sensitive topic. His eyes move in Cale's direction and he saw how Cale's eyes are closely observing the orb. 

Cale felt like cursing this goddamn God, actually, he really wants to. Is it really planning on revealing his secret here? Cale felt restless. Although his face has a cold and nonchalant expression as if he wasn't a bit shaken by the situation, Cale's heart was beating so fast. He can explain the situation to others, but Ron and Beacrox is an exception. 

What will Ron think if the young master he's serving isn't the real Cale Henituse and was a completely different person? Would Cale live to see another sunrise? Just thinking how Ron and Beacrox's cold and sharp eyes will be directed to him, actually, he's even prepared for the possibility of them attacking him and torture him to death.

Cale shivered inwardly from his thoughts. He can't let that happen, once his secret is spilt, he can feel that his slacker life is waving goodbye to him.

"Stop the nonsense. Why are we here?" 

Cale put his other knee atop the other and leaned his back on the backrest of the sofa. The others watch how calm and nonchalant Cale was before they heave a sigh, slowly calming down. Their heads are still in a chaotic state, evidence of how they are still glancing in Cale's direction with chaotic emotions inside their eyes. Especially, Ron's usually benign smile was gone and was replaced with an expressionless and observing look. 

"How disrespectful. Hmm... I suppose this will be my help for you."

That statement alone is enough for Cale to sense that something bad is going to happen. A God's help isn't for free. It always requires equal trade, and right now, the God of Death is saying that he's helping? Without asking Cale to put his own offer? 

"What? What bullshit is this?" 

Cale blurted out his honest feelings while looking at the orb with a deep frown on his face. His back was turning extremely cold. He did not like how this conversation is going that's why he attempted to say something but the God of Death was faster than him.

"Cale Henituse, let's talk again later."

Then the orb's black glow disappeared, same as the aura of death that Eruhaben kept feeling. He felt relieved that nothing happened, or what they thought so.

"Ah--!"

They all turned to look at Cale who let out an exclaim. What they saw was Cale's body starting to crack. 

"Cale!"
"Cale-nim!"
"Human!"

Their exclaims were drowned out from Cale's hearing. All he can feel is excruciating pain, one that he had felt once. It was when his soul was being ripped out of Kim Rok Soo's body when he and Choi Han was going back to their world. He felt like fainting, but the process won't let him do so as it directly affects the soul. Cale can only deduce that after this, everything will be chaotic.
