The Place Where I Belong

Chapter 55

Previously...

As Aldan performed a teleportation circle, Cale placed each of his hands on Basen and Hans shoulder while Aldan also rested his hand on Cale's shoulder. Without the others' knowledge, Cale successfully teleports them.

And how did Aldan go back?

"How am I going to return to the inn?"

"What else other than teleporting yourself?"

"How mean!"

-

"What are you doing here?" Rock asked as he saw Cale the moment he entered his office." I thought you returned home?"

"Home? Speaking of home, I will visit them once I arrive at Harris Village."

"I'm talking about the county."

"Ah! I got bored after preparing for the trip, that is also the reason why I am here."

Days after they arrived at the county, Cale was asked to handle the situation in the Harris Village. He went here after getting bored of doing nothing but realising he has to talk to someone who is currently staying here.

"I'll go get him." He was about to stand up when a hand stopped him from moving. When he looked at Lux, who stopped him, Lux gave him a juice.

"I'll go get him, stay here."

"Wait, manager! Do you know who I am talking about?"

"It is the swordmaster, right?"

Cale stares at him for a moment before he sighed.
"Then, I'll wait for him in our living room."

Choi Han entered the room he had been in before, the red haired family's big room. Lux escorted him here, saying that Cale had called him, but he was actually shocked to find Lux standing outside his room nor he expecting the young master to call for him as they kind of have a bad start.

"You called for me, Cale-nim?"

"I did. Sit there."

Cale pointed to the chair in front of him which Choi Han followed.

"Let's get straight to the point."

Choi Han unconsciously straightened his back as Cale spoke with seriousness unlike his previous mocky tone toward him.

"We are not enemies, aren't we?"

"Are we?" Choi Han asked back, which gained a deadpanned from Cale.

"I'm the one who's asking."

"I guess we are not."

"Then, Choi Han, do you want to come with me to Harris Village?"

"... I promised myself not to return until I got my revenge."

"That would take long before you are able to do so, especially if you are alone." Cale had a long eye contact with Choi Han before the black haired young man looked down to look at his clenching hands. "Can you protect, Choi Han?"

The swordmaster think for a second before he answer,
"I'm not sure."

"But you can kill?"

But the next response to the other question is answered without hesitation.
"Absolutely."

"Then you also have the power to protect."

A moment of silence before Choi Han asked the purpose of those questions.
"Why are you asking me that?"

"I'm just saying that before you think of revenge, you must know that you still have a family to protect."

Choi Han was completely silent with that. Cale then decided to not make the conversation even longer.
