Cale closed his eyes and sorted all the information he just got. He decided to learn stealth from Ron. He will need help to erase all his existence as Cale Henituse soon enough.

"Ron."

"Yes, young master? Do you need anything else?"

"Teach me."

"...I don't understand what do you mean by that."

"You know what I mean Ron. I know who you are. I know what you and your son are capable of."

"Ho. Mind to tell this old man how you know about us?"

"Is that important now? Help me and I will help you find your home back."

For these past few years, Cale found a lot of things regarding Ron. Some of that is because he read in the book. But the rest is because when he looks for the soul information, he gets some information about the organization that forced Ron and Beacrox to run away. One thing leads to another and that is how Cale finds out a few things about Ron unintentionally.

'If the situation is already like this, why not just get rid of that organization.'

Cale decides to get rid of that organization for his peaceful future. It's a win-win situation for both of them. If that organization is gone, Ron and Beacrox can go back to their home and he can live his slacker life peacefully. It's like killing two birds with one stone. Also, Cale is someone that never has a real home, so he kinda wants to help both of them get their home back.

"...You are really a mysterious child young master."

Cale's expression didn't change just shrug even though his inside is actually in chaos.

"Very well, how can I and my child assist you?"

"Stealth. I want to master that and maybe learn some dagger skill that I can use to protect myself."

"Very well then."

"Good. Help me erase Cale Henituse's existence and after that, we should go to Puzzle City."

"...What?"

"Why? You don't need to stay at Henituse for you to manage your underground job don't you?"

Ron is still active in his underground job. But most of the time he just gathers information about arm, the organization that attacked his family. He doing it all in secret so he doesn't attract arm attention. Indeed, Ron doesn't need to stay in Henituse territory since he already fakes his and his son's death for Arm to stop chasing after them but that is not what he is concern about.

"Well, Yes, I do not need to stay in this place."

"Good, then we can just do as I said."

"...May I ask why you want to get rid of your existence?"

Ron wants to know more about his puppy young master background. What happened to his childhood that make him want to erase his existence. He is indebted to Cale's mother, Jour Thames. 10 years ago, when Ron still been chasing by Arm, he and Beacrox manage to get into Henituse. When he is hiding, Jour accidentally found him. Jour then helps them in secret and gives them the bookstore for him to manage and settle down. One day Jour comes to find him with a really pale face. At that time, Ron doesn't quite understand what she wants him to do.

Please help my son, Cale Henituse, and keep him safe. But you don't need to come and find Cale. When the time comes fate will bring you guys together.

That is the last time conversation Ron have with Jour. A month after that, Jour Thames died.

Not long after Jour died, finally Ron found out a clue about the organization that attacked his family. He becomes busy and doesn't have time to pay attention to the Henituse estate rumor. He plan a lot of things and put a fake death track to trick the arm. But Ron always remembers his promise. He will help Cale and keep him safe. The day when Cale bump into Ron is the day when he can finally keep his promise to Jour.

"...That house is suffocating me. I am a cursed child in that house and I don't have any lingering feeling left for that house. Just create a rumor I run away or something. Not that Count Deruth or anyone else in that manor will care."

'Cursed child huh... I think I will need to dig more information regarding his childhood.'

"So you want to escape to Puzzle City?"

"For now yes, I have a business in Puzzle City anyway. Let's meet tonight, I need to take a few things that I left first."

"I understand."
Cale goes back to his room and packs a few clothes and things that he will need. He also takes his mother's heritage that she left for him. Cale remembers that when his mother hands the box to him. That is the last conversation Cale has with his mother.

Honey, Keep this box safe. You will need it when the times come. This will be something that can help you. Remember that I always love you.

Cale opens the box, there are several land documents in there, a spatial bag fills with gold coins and a necklace. Cale wore the necklace. He closed the box and put it in his spatial bag.

He left a note in Basen's bedroom as a farewell.

That night, Cale Henituse disappear from the estate without notice.
