Now that everyone was calm and had nothing more to say, he took the opportunity to explain the child's condition to Rosalyn and Choi Han and how to take care of him. After several hours of fierce battles by both to be able to get Lock out of this state. Their little group minus the wolf and the kittens, one of whom was resting while the two others were busy looking after him.

Cale, Ron, Rosalyn, Choi Han and Basen were back in the room around the table with a small invisible dragon on the bed. They were all waiting for Cale's next words.

"You can ask whatever you want I will answer as much as I can." He had already made them a promise, he could not go back on his word. Even if he was afraid of the things that might come out of this conversation.

"Do you know who me and Lock were before we met? Choi Han said he did what you asked him to do." The first question came from Rosalyn, who had been intrigued and suspicious by the swordsman's words all along, but she hadn't been able to ask. What did a young master like him need from them?

He could feel Choi's gaze on him, his gaze clearly said sorry. And was already answering the mage's question before he did it himself. Of course the others had seen it.

"Yes."

They were waiting for an explanation but it never came.

Basen decided to ask another question, seeing that his brother had no intention of discussing the matter on this. Ignoring the disgruntled magician. "Who did you say 'stop' to before?"

"Do you want to introduce yourself?" Cale asked room, not knowing if the dragon was still with them.

A black shape appeared on the bed, "Hello." They all turned around at the unknown voice to see a small dragon lying on the bed in the room.

"Are you serious? How?!" Basen asked his brother stunned. Only he and the mage seemed shocked by this discovery. Of course this was seen by the young master Basen.

"You already knew that didn't you?" Basen glared at Ron and Choi han.

"I was with him when we saved him..." The swordsman answered before realizing what he had done, he lowered his head and decided to keep quiet.

All eyes were now on Cale, asking what Choi Han was talking about. He sighed, not wanting to explain everything. Especially since that would earn him even more questions. "That's another long story."

"We have all the time." Basen continued to look at his brother waiting for him to speak. Cale finally told them everything. Their shock grew even more, how could a young master have found a dragon and especially how could a human torture a child?! They were furious.

"Did you know that the wolf village was going to be attacked? I was able to recognize the clothes of the people from the organization that attacked my village." Fortunately Choi Han's question diverted their attention.

Now this was what Cale was dreading, he could already feel Ron's burning gaze on him.

"Yes and I also know what they plan to do..." Cale wanted to disappear under the heavy looks he was receiving.

"How?" It was a simple word but the tone made him tremble in his chair.

"The assassins are truly terrifying..." In his sudden panic he whispered it out loud.

"What did you say young master?" Ron could see his young master pale at his question. He hadn't heard wrong, the young man seemed to know his past. That was probably the reason for his changing attitude, and his sudden fear of him. But why now, after 18 years?

"I didn't-"

"We heard you too." Basen looked at his brother trying to lie, with judgment, did he think they were stupid?

"*sigh*I know you're a patriarch of an assassin house that fell under the hands of the organization that attacked Choi Han village." He couldn't keep acting stupid, otherwise he would really get killed, he didn't even want to think about what Beacrox could do to him to make him confess everything he knows. He shivered at the thought.

"I see." Ron's answer was calm too calm, he looked up at the butler. To see a face without emotion, it was even more frightening...

The butler I didn't know what to think of all this, the thought that his young master could even be part of this organization is strange to him but what if it was possible? Maybe they threatened him or his family. He can't think of a Cale Henituse wanting to join them voluntarily. He was a good young man, he'd had some bad behavior for a while but even that had a sadder explanation, he couldn't see him as a villain. What had these monsters dared to do to his young master?

Choi Han had the same doubt as Ron, even if he hadn't known him for very long. The young man was kind and had even helped him but we can't always trust others. Maybe it was just a mask, to deceive everyone. No his thoughts were stupid, they had heard about the rumors around the young master, it wasn't possible. So what?

"How do you all know that, young master?"

Cale noticed Ron's changing look who was angry now but strangely not against him.

"I'm sorry but I can't tell you." He looked down in fear of their reaction. Maybe he had to find a way to prove to them that he wasn't lying, and especially for Molan and Choi Han to assure them that he wasn't part of the terrorist organization. But telling them the real truth wasn't possible, sent by a god for a reason he didn't even know would certainly not please anyone. Being called a thief, hunting and maybe even killing was not a future he particularly wanted. The death wish was a solution, but he had to be careful with his words...
