Cale could see a statue as soon as he arrived in front of City Hall. It was the statue of the current mayor.

"He has about 2-3 months left in his term."

He nodded his head at Ron's comment and observed the face of the mayor depicted on the statue.

The Mercenaries Guild and the Merchant Alliance that controlled the day-time aspects of Leeb-An City took turns placing a new mayor.

Each mayor's term was 4 years long, and an election was coming up soon. Of course, the mercenaries and merchants had made it so that there was only one candidate up until now.

The current mayor was from the Mercenaries Guild.

"Arm was being even more careful because the mayor is from the Mercenaries Guild."

"But it failed thanks to us." Cale chuckled.

Ron nodded his head at his precious young master who answered happily.

"Young master."

"Yes."

"You plan on revealing Mostue's cozy relationship with the Mercenaries Guild during this election, right?"

"What a smart old man you are, Ron."

"Then you should be able to take care of Arm, Mostue, the Mercenaries Guild, and all of the forces dealing with the underworld of Leeb-An City all at once. Am I right, my dear young master?"

Cale didn't respond this time and just smile, however, Ron knew enough about Cale to know what this silence meant.

However, Ron didn't know everything about the regressed Cale just yet.

Cale handed the business opening documents to Ron. "Here."

"Shall I go report it for you?"

They had filled out the documents from the City Hall in advance and had to just go turn it in today. Ron had naturally taken care of everything and handed it to Cale, who filled in the empty spots.

"Yes. Ron, you need to do it."

"I do?"

"Yeah, and there's a part you need to fill out as well."

Ron watched Cale, whose eyes sparkled innocently, and opened the envelope and took the document out.

[Hope and Adventure Loving Inn]

The inn's name was correct, the address was correct, and even the inn size and number of employees was correct.

However, one thing had changed.

"...Young master." Ron called out to Cale.

However, Cale did not respond this time either. He was just standing there and smiled, looking at him as if to tell him that it was alright.

Even so, Ron could not look at the silent Cale. His gaze was stuck at the box for the inn owner's name. That box was filled out as well.

[Ron Molan]

Ron's name was listed on there. The other box that was empty was the box to sign that said everything listed was correct. That was what Ron needed to fill out.

Ron recalled what Cale had told him before. It was what Cale had said on the day they arrived at the Eastern continent as Cale pointed to Ron while talking to Mount Leeb's former bandit leader.

"You will be one of the underworld's rulers starting from today onward, and this is the person who will be your boss."

That was pretty much an order telling Ron to be the ruler of the underworld, and Ron happily accepted as he had not forgotten about his revenge.

Cale was providing the foundation for it to Ron, who had accepted that order.

"It's yours, Ron. It's a gift, so you can't return it."

Ron responded with a smile that was far from his usual benign smile.

He had returned to the Eastern continent after losing everything. Now he had a place to restart in that place.

Ron Molan. That was a name that even Arm would have forgotten about by now.

'It's not like Arm has nothing better to do than to confirm a small inn owner's name in order to find me.'

His dearest young master probably handed him this document while knowing that that was the case.

Ron folded the document back up and held it in his hand.

He then looked toward Cale who was looking at him and started to speak. "Many of the Leeb-An City residents have issues with the Merchant Alliance and Mercenaries Guild taking turns being the mayor."

Both the residents and the small business owners had issues with this practice.

The Merchant Alliance mainly accepted mid-sized merchant guilds that could do regional trades but did not accept small businesses into the fold.

"I will look for a worthy mayor candidate."

Beating around the bush did not fit Cale or Ron's style.

Cale preferred it like this as well. "I trust you."

Ron had a bright benign smile on his face.

"...What the...?" Cale was a bit stunned. "Pfft..."

Cale held back his laughter as they were stared at for quite a while now. 'I never see him smile like that before. That extremely bright smile looks very vicious, Ron.'

Ron didn't care as he started to speak to his young master who was never afraid to laugh at his face, even after knowing he was an assassin. "I will do it properly as your servant, young master."

"....Ahem, sure. You can take your time." Cale gave a fake cough to stop his laughter.

Ron had a more subdued but adoring smile on his face as he gently asked this cute young master of his. "Will we make our move tonight?"

Ron could see how Cale's face seemed to glow with joy. He was proud to know that he was the only one seeing this expression on his young master's face.

Cale's palms were getting itchy thinking about tonight.

Why? They were planning on emptying all of the Mostue faction safes tonight.

**************************************

Cale could see the six-years-old Dragon that was full of greed once night arrived.

"Human, take it!"

Cale received what Raon was offering him. He then asked Raon in shock.

"Why do we need a potato sack?"

"Money!"

Raon's firm response made Cale surprised. However, the young Dragon was excited. He seemed very much like the Dragons that like shiny things.

"Human! The spatial pocket bag needs to be big in order to pack away all of the dirty money! I told Beacrox who was acting indifferent to give me this sack so I could put spatial dimension magic on it!"

'Acting indifferent?' Cale looked down at the simple potato sack. He was certain that Beacrox just couldn't reject the request of the children averaging nine-years-old and handed it to them.

Cale could see the excited children averaging nine-years-old in the corner room on the third floor of the inn.

"Looks like we can get some allowances again today!"

"Cale said that he will add it all up and give it to us later, but then we won't know how many gold coins it is."

"It's a homework to see how much you remember the lessons on math." Cale shook his head.

"I'm going to fill my entire piggy bank!" Raon approached Cale who was nonchalantly holding onto the potato sack and put it tightly in Cale's arms as he continued to speak. "It is an extremely large spatial dimension! Human, just trust me!"

Cale clenched onto the sack and calmly responded back. "I trust you."

He really meant it. The children averaging nine-years-old were great and mighty.

"Hehe." Raon seemed excited as he spun in circles.

He could hear the voice of the Fire of Destruction as well.

• Precious potato sack ... Precious bad guys' away......money ... Precious, rare, and most beautiful of all, is throwing money away...

'Cheapskate had gone completely mad.' This was Cale's honest belief.

It was at that moment.

"Cale-nim."

"...Choi Han."

Cale received an item from Choi Han as well. It was the robe with a red star on it, as well as a black mask.

Choi Han had taken the initiative to pack the shabby 'Real Arm' uniform.

'...Choi Han, you actually enjoy this, don't you?'

That's what Cale wanted to ask, however, Choi Han looked serious. He looked like someone who was ready to move for peace and justice.

Cale thought to himself once more that Choi Han really was a good person as he put the robe around himself.

Choi Han opened the third-floor window and started to speak. "Cale-nim, I will escort you there. We will only charge forward."

Cale was flabbergasted. All of them were too excited to stealthily escape through the inn window.

However, Cale confidently responded back. "Of course, charging forward looks cool."

Cale gave the order. "We will head to the Mercenaries Guild first."

Arm and the Mercenaries Guild in Leeb-An City would be bitter enemies after tonight. Those evil bastards who had their feet in the underworld would fight each other.

Cale could not help but laugh.

"You are smiling like a villain, Cale."

"It's good to look like a villain, On." Cale patted On.

The unexpected windfall of money was already floating in front of his eyes. Cale stood on top of a roof and looked down.

He could hear Choi Han's voice.

"As expected, the Mercenaries Guild building is bright even during the night."

The location of today's safe looting was vibrant. Leeb-An City's Mercenaries Guild building was located a bit away from the eastern pleasure district.

The current situation made its location very fitting. The building was still full of light even though it was night time, and didn't look as if they were going to sleep anytime soon. The reason was obvious.

"It's a pretty intolerable situation. The Mercenaries Guild people have to work."

The Leeb-An City's Mercenaries Guild was able to influence the underworld by partnering with Mostue.

The Merchant Alliance and the Mercenaries Guild shared control of Leeb-An City. The Mercenaries Guild was much stronger than the Merchant Alliance, however, they lacked funds.

The way to resolve this issue was to protect Mostue's organization and receiver some dirty money from the underworld through them.

But Arm appeared and started to eat away at the underworld. The Mercenaries Guild was angry at this, however, it was difficult to do anything to Arm who moved very slowly and cautiously.

Arm was the Eastern continent's underworld's strongest player. That was why the Mercenaries Guild had to be wary of Arm as well. However, Arm moved completely openly this time.

In that case, the Mercenaries Guild now had the justification to act in order to protect their pride and their money. That was why they would have started to move, however, it had only been one day since the incident.

"There is a good chance that the Mercenaries Guild has not decided how they should react to Arm just yet."

A large monster like the Mercenaries Guild was going to get involved in the small Leeb-An City's underworld matter, so they probably had to think hard about how grand of a reaction they would have.

Thanks to that, it was likely that Arm would not have noticed the atmosphere around the mercenaries right now.

"Furthermore, Mostue's faction is guaranteed to be busy looking for that internal spy."

"What do you need me to do?"

Cale did not look back at Choi Han, who was looking at him, and put the map in his hand back in his pocket.

This was a new map based on the map the former bandit leader gave to him but filled with information that Ron had gathered.

He pointed down with his now empty hands. He was pointing at the entrance of the Mercenaries Guild building, which still had a lot of people going in and out.

Cale turned toward Choi Han and gave the order. "Turn it into a mess."

Choi Han took out his sword and slightly bowed. "I will do as you commanded."

Choi Han's pupils were cloudy as he raised his head back up. He should have understood what Cale meant.

Cale opened his arms after seeing Choi Han's reaction.

"Meeeeeow."

"Meeow."

He continued to speak once On and Hong were both in his arms. "Raon."

– I understand, Human!

Shhhhhhhhhhhhhh- Cale, On, and Hong all slowly turned invisible.

Choi Han jumped off of the building as soon as they were completely invisible.

Shaaaaaaaaaaa- The early spring wind brushed past his cheeks.

"Huh?"

"What, what is that?"

The guards outside the guild building entrance noticed the suddenly falling individual wearing black clothes and clenched their weapons.

Even the people who were going in and out of the building with serious expressions on their faces flinched and looked at the unknown assailant who had suddenly appeared.

Choi Han, that unknown assailant, looked around before raising his sword up.

"A-Aura!"

"I-It's those bastards!"

Someone who knew about the Arm and Mostue incident shouted that they were the same people.

It was at that moment.

The black aura that violently shot up contrary to the calm night covered the area underneath the magic lights with a black shadow.

Baaaaaang! The black aura struck down on the wall surrounding the guild building. A curved boomerang-like attack cut the wall into two.

"Gasp."

"S-Son of a! Go tell the guild leader-nim!"

"He really was a s-sword master. I didn't know the Mostue bastards were telling the truth!"

The shouts of different mercenaries in the area could be heard.

Clack. Clack. Clack. The closed windows of the Mercenaries Guild building started to open.

The people who were trying to determine the source of the loud noises by sticking their heads out the windows could see the unknown assailant wearing black outside the guild entrance.

"Do you know where this is? Attacking the Mercenaries Guild is an act that will turn every mercenary on the continent into your enemies!" One of the mercenaries walked through the darkness and shouted out loud. He was looking at Choi Han, the unknown assailant covered in black.

Choi Han heard a young Dragon's voice in his head at that moment.

– Choi Han, we'll be back! See you soon!

It was now time for the invisible Cale and children to sneak into the Mercenaries Guild building.

He heard the mercenary's voice again. "Hurry up and drop your sword! Do you want to see the scariness of the mercenaries?"

Choi Han clenched the handle of his sword. He then answered back to the mercenaries who were looking at him.

"I'm not sure if you really are that scary."

He really meant it. The only thing Choi Han feared in this world was his surroundings being destroyed.

Ooooooong- The black aura rumbled as Choi Han lightly stomped his foot.

His body was heading toward the Mercenaries Guild.

"No killing. Buy us time." Cale's orders were always easy to complete.

The black aura cut through the night.

Baaaaaang! Baaaaang! The walls surrounding the guild fell and the front yard was turning into a mess.

A real monster appeared in front of the Mercenaries Guild that the Leeb-An City's underworld feared.

While all of that was going on, Cale started to think after hearing the noises coming from behind him. 'Looks like Choi Han is doing things properly.'

He was usually good at doing things like this well.

– Human! Choi Han seems to want to destroy everything! Choi Han is really good at destroying buildings!

Cale ignored Raon whom he couldn't tell whether he was praising or badmouthing Choi Han as he quickly started to move.

"Arm really showed up?"

"Crazy! The sword master came on his own? Why would a sword master come to a place like this?"

"Son of a bitch, am I going to die?"

The entire guild building was in a mess.

A sword master had appeared and was causing a mess. How many people could remain calm in such a situation?

Fear and despair filled their hearts as they all quickly started to move. The only common action was that they were all heading down the building.

However, Cale watched them leave as he headed up. His quick movements were stealthy thanks to Raon's flight magic and the Sound of the Wind.

– Human! To the left!

Raon also served as his GPS.

Cale quickly arrived at a floor and could see a fancy door in front of him.

– Human! The strongest human in the Mercenaries Guild is here!

This must be the guild leader's room!

Cale held back a happy hum from coming out of his mouth as he headed toward the fancy door.

Baaaaang! The door opened at that moment.

'Ah, so scary.' A couple people darted out of the fancy door as Cale flinched in shock.

– Oh! It is the strongest human and the strongest ones after him!

Cale started to smile.

This must be the Mercenaries Guild leader and his subordinates.

Cale moved to a corner and the guild leader and his subordinates naturally did not notice Cale, who was invisible thanks to a Dragon's magic, and continued heading down.

"...Boss Mostue was not lying."

"Guild leader-nim, it's a sword master, what do we do?"

"We can't avoid it. We will lose face if we do. We need to fight him even if we face some losses. We can't do anything even if some people end up dying."

Cale listened to the conversation between the guild leader and his subordinates as they walked past him.

"Guild leader-nim, but isn't it weird? Unless Arm really went crazy, would they openly kill mercenaries?"

"He's right. Guild leader, according to Mostue, their outfits were shabby as well. Are we sure they are from Arm?"

"We'll know once we see him."

The building shook at that moment.

Boooooooom- A loud vibration came from the ground.

"Gasp!"

"Hurry, we need to hurry down!"

The guild leader and his subordinates quickly headed down.

Cale had a serious expression on his face once the corridor was empty. 'Just how much of a mess is Choi Han causing? Why is the building shaking?'

Cale was confused, but he needed to move as he heard Raon's voice.

– Human! There seems to be a magic safe!

'Hooo. Someone at the Mercenaries Guild leader's level should be able to have a magic safe instead of a regular safe!'

– Human! If it is a magic safe, then the great and mighty Raon Miru can open it without breaking it!

Dragons really were great and mighty.

Cale put On and Hong down on the ground and leisurely walked into the guild leader's office.

He then stood in front of the desk that Raon guided him to. 'They always hide it in a place like this.'

There should be a safe underneath the desk instead of hidden in a wall. He just needed to loot that safe. Cale pushed the desk. It did not move.

(Tsuki: I know the picture show bookshelf, but it's the only fitting picture.)

– Sigh, you're so weak. Move.

"Meeow."

"Meeeeeow."

Cale heard the voices of the children averaging nine-years-old, however, he did not move and pushed hard once again. He was upset, very upset.

The desk finally moved.
