When the car arrived in front of the inn, Ron asked that Cale wait in the carriage until everything was ready and that he could go straight to his room. Basen stayed with him to keep him company, fortunately Hans quickly prepared everything. Once inside, his brother, Ron and in fact almost everyone suggested that it would be good for him to sleep a little. Cale simply told them that he would. Before leaving, he asked Ron if he could bring him the things that he had asked him to get from Billos.

Once he had some peace in his room, he unpacked the things from the bag to show them to the kittens. He had no plans so far but he had thought that these objects could be useful to him especially for the terrorist attack on the square.

The two kittens approached him with curiosity. Cale ignored the two pairs of golden pupils staring at him and simply looked at the items inside the bag with satisfaction.

He picked up one of the items in the bag: A round, black globe with many symbols engraved on it. The ginger kitten, Hong, put his paws on Cale's knee to ask, "What is this?"

"It's a mana disruption tool." The two kittens became attentive to Cale's words.

"Can you read a map?" They quickly nodded.

He then took out another item: A map. "We're in this village right now." Cale pointed to the mountain to the right of the village. "Do you see that mountain?"

"Yes!"

"It's very easy to spot. If you head towards that mountain, you'll see a villa in the distance. Behind it is a cave, don't go near there at all. You can't get caught." He could see them nodding again understanding his warning.

He had heard about the situation of these two children. That's why he was convinced that they could make it, but he still wanted to warn them. It would be a shame if their curiosity led them to visit the cave. "There's something being tortured in there. We're going to save it, so you have to be careful." Cale explained to them calmly.

"Something?" On was the one who asked intrigued.

"Yes. He's even younger than you, Hong."

"...Even younger than me?"

"Yes, only 4 years old."

"We're going to save him?" On and Hong's eyes lit up as they pressed the bed with their paws

"Yes. Just stay in your cat form and bury that sphere in the mountain without getting caught." Cale reminded them one last time. He placed the black orb in a small pouch before tying it around On's neck like a necklace.

"Where should we bury it?" On asked as she looked at the bag.

"Anywhere on the mountain."

The siblings looked at each other before nodding.

"Of course you two will make it, I promise you'll have a good meal when you get back." The two kittens looked back at Cale with their golden pupils. These siblings, who had almost been killed by their own tribe because they had no abilities, even though they never had the chance to learn, were starting to get emotional. Their tails were wagging and they wrinkled their noses to hold back tears. They then ran out the window, hurrying to complete their mission.

Naturally, the siblings did what Cale expected and earned their reward: They were treated to a beef steak. After a well-deserved meal, Cale went to bed, he still had a lot to do tomorrow.

The next day, Cale drank the lemonade he was now used to. He asked to speak to Choi Han so they could come up with a plan to save the dragon. Of course, Choi Han immediately agreed to help him. Although his request at the end did more damage to the swordsman and the kits than the rest of the conversation.

"Can you tell Ron to prepare some alcohol upstairs?" Cale needed an alibi to cover him tonight when they went out. He had seen when he entered the inn that it also had a bar, it was perfect for someone with his reputation.

Choi Han looked at him strangely, like the kits. He then left to warn Ron, but not like Cale thought... Choi Han came back with Ron and his brother Basen, but without the alcohol.
