Never Say Never (TCF/LCF fanfic)

Chapter 4: This is a bit?!

Once the falling Dragon slammed down...

A man whose face and body were covered by a robe reached his hand out to touch the mask on his face that covered everything above his nose.

''I guess an ancient Dragon who is close to death was not strong enough?''

There was a video recording device in his hand.

He watched a person bleeding out from what seemed to be his entire body as he ran toward the altar.

The video of Cale Henituse was playing on the recording device on repeat.

This man was naturally the White Star.

He quietly observed the video recording device he received from Bear King Sayeru as he started to speak.

''There is no way Cale Henituse would be able to fight in such a condition, so we can consider him out of action for now.''

He then turned toward where the Dragon had fallen.

''The somewhat reliable ancient Dragon looks like that.''

The White Star raised his head. The monster in the sky just stood there without attacking.

''...I guess I should just keep watching for now.''

The White Star slowly stepped back and hid himself.

While he was doing that... Someone else, Mila to be specific, gasped while watching the plummeting ancient Dragon.

"Wow. I guess some acting skills do come with age!"

Clap, clap, clap.

Raon clapped next to her.

''You truly are amazing Goldie gramps!''

OG!Cale watched their reactions and thought to himself. 'He made an ancient, proud Dragon pretend fainting?' 

He was in awe of the influence this guy had over almighty beings.

Lock just blankly looked out the terrace window.

''H, he's acting, right? It's fake?''

His voice was shaking.

The fallen Eruhaben.... The sight was too shocking to call it an act.

'My heart is beating wildly even though I know it's fake.'

Lock tightly clenched his fists.

''Lock, don't worry! Gramps wasn't hurt by the Lion Dragon's attack!''

OG!Cale looked at Raon with an odd gaze for a moment.

'...He shouldn't be able to see anything because it's so far away. How is he so sure that the Gold Dragon wasn't hit?'

He questioned Raon's response, but Raon just smiled brightly, as if he didn't question anything at all.

Lock couldn't help but smile after seeing Raon's bright smile.

''Lock, you start moving according to the plan as well.''

''Yes, young master-nim!''

Lock watched Cale, who was reaching the final stages of Connect Together, as he responded vigorously.

''I'm okay.''

"...Yes, sir, I understand."

Lock barely managed to lift his feet and left the office after hearing Cale say that he was okay.
