"Alberu-nim. I sincerely apologize for everything that, us, the dc has done to you and your group.

But. My matter with Fredo von Ejellan is something else."

The way Choi Han changed his tone at the mentioning of 'Fredo' really made Cale shiver cold.

Cale understood that Choi Han might have his reason to hate Fredo so. But, he hadn't learnt the problem behind it yet.

That was why he had enough of being the only one in oblivion among the people in this room that he had to ask for an explanation.

"So? Is it about time to explain to me yet?"

Thanks to Cale's casual question, the atmosphere that was about to turn gloomy because of Choi Han's declaration, became lively again.

"Haha— I guess you couldn't wait, hmm.. Rok Soo?" Lee Soo Hyuk, who haven't said a word, couldn't help but responded to his dongsaeng's question. "Why don't you come and have a seat first, then?"

The senior took the initiative to offer the guests to settle down before getting into business.

Of course, that was what Cale intended as well.

"Let's go, Choi Han."

Tapping the guy who was still shocked at the sudden-but-expected question, Cale told him to go and sit.

As always, Cale chose the most comfortable spot and plopped down on the sofa in front of Lee Soo Hyuk. Choi Han was also right beside him.

'Even if Lee Soo Hyuk invited them to sit down, these guests really acted as if they owned the whole place.'

That was what Alberu had in his mind.

'Well, it's nice that the fight didn't break in.'

However, the prez was really glad that Choi Han's announcement didn't lead to the fight.

Alberu, then, also motioned Fredo, Park Jin Tae and Lee Chul Min to go and sit down as well.

And.. as soon as the important figures found their respective seats,

The talk of the matter has started.

Or so, that was what Cale thought.

...

Fidgeting beside Cale, Choi Han seemed to have something to say.

"What is it, Choi Han?"

"Uhm.. Cale-nim.. Before that.. can I ask what you mean by 'he is avenging for his brother'?" His tone was so gentle that couldn't be compared to how he usually called Fredo.

Was it because he didn't know that 'he' stood for Fredo?

Though, upon hearing the question, the surrounding went quiet as if cat got their tongue.

Well, Choi Han asked Cale, right?

Cale decided to just answer his friend about what he know.

But then, a few things came across his mind.

Avenging for the brother?

'Did he overhear my conversation with the blue-haired?'

Then, does it mean that Choi Han only learnt that 'the supposed Naru' was Fredo at that time?

Cale couldn't believe that Choi Han spent a whole morning talking to the imposter without knowing his real identity.

Choi Han did say that Naru went to vacation some times ago, so, perhaps..?
