Brazenness Tames the Workaholic Trash

XXXIX

Something is wrong.

Kim Roksu couldn't shake the feeling that something was wrong with Cale. The calm and patient man appeared agitated and desperate.

He couldn't shake the feeling, so he decided to pursue him, and soon realized how suicidal this jerk is right now.

"Cale Henituse!"

He called out, but Cale appeared to be moving much faster.

He didn't have a choice.

He made the Redhead trip on the ground with whatever device he had in his pocket.

"Wha—"

He decided to pin him to the ground and sat on Cale's back. He was taken aback to see the man who would be prepared for every aspect of the battle. He couldn't believe this man would do something so hasty.

"Cale Henituse, calm down!"

The redhead's eyes widened. He must be surprised that he prevented him from doing something stupid.

"Anything else and you'll die! Why are you so desperate right now?! This isn't like you!"

The original Kim Roksu was one who always kept his cool and waited for the right moment to strike. However, all he sees is a Kim Roksu willing to go fight and die unprepared.

Has no one noticed? Or have they all assumed that this is normal?

Right. People in that world must have missed the fact that Cale Henituse is desperate enough to do something stupid.

They all must've thought that Cale was calm and collected.

None of them realized the reality of his actions right now.

Cale stopped struggling when he saw him.

"I need to get this done quickly," Cake said quietly. "Or else my wife and children will perish."

Wife?

Kim Roksu felt that heartfelt plea. Cale must have been in a situation where he couldn't take his time and strike.

Wife?

He repeated himself in his mind.

"You're married?"

Cale nodded.

"Who was it?" Kim Roksu is struggling to keep his emotions in check right now. He's delighted for Cale. He was always alone in this world, and he knew that the word "family" was very important to this person.

"Athanasia."

Kim Roksu sat down in front of Cale after letting go of him.

"Before we do anything stupid," he says, indicating that he is willing to do anything stupid for this person. Since it's his body, it's also his wife. He was overjoyed that this man could finally start a family of his own! "Cale, tell me what's wrong."

Cale sighed and looked him dead in the eyes. They exchanged long sighs as they stared at each other.

"Athanasia, my wife is dying."

"And you're here to find a cure? If so, why are you looking for a demon king?"

Cale paused before responding, "With divine tears, I need a demon king's blood and a shard of immortality to create the living water."

Living water. It's the buzz around the release of a new novel in this world.

A magical item that can replenish someone's life mana but can only be used once.
