book 2: It's exploding. An incident is exploding (5)

Start from the beginning
                                        

"Stronger than me?" Toonka asked, pointing to himself. Harol just shrugged.

Choi Han followed behind him and observed the black ashes.

'...The Hunters are a stronger organization than I expected.'

They were able to destroy the King's Palace, a Duke's Estate, and a large Merchant guild in an instant.

Everyone grimaced at Cale's words, but no one denied them.

"Mmph, dragons are stronger," Rasheel mumbled.

"Of course we are stronger! We were just caught off guard," Raon interjected with a pout.

"We're the best. The hunters are just some side villains... maybe," Dodori pondered, wondering whether they were main or side villains.

A lot of people died as a result as well. That fact made Choi Han angry, sad, and concerned.

"Of course, it can't be only me feeling this way," Choi Han thought as he looked around the hall.

"You're not alone, Choi Han. We're all angry that the hunters killed so many innocent people with their destructive intent," Rosalyn said, an angry smile on her face.

"We may have destroyed some buildings during the war, but we made sure no one was hurt—except the bad guys, of course," Archie added with a grumpy expression.

'We're going to fight against such a strong organization?'

Choi Han raised his head and observed Cale's back.

'It is different from the time with the White Star.'

It always felt as if Cale's side was one step ahead of the White Star. However, this issue with the Hunters seemed more like an unexpected raid from the Hunters.

Cale frowned at Choi Han's thoughts. 'Well, it's not my fault that I don't even know anything about the hunters', he mused.

"It's because the White Star has existed in this world for nearly a thousand years, but the hunters are from another world and can travel between them, right? So it will take some time," Sui Khan said, sensing Cale's unease.

"That's true, Sui Khan-nim. Besides, we don't have any information," Ron added with his usual benign smile.

Choi Han and Cale nodded in agreement.

'If they attack us like this-'

If the King's Palace became the crown prince's palace...

If the Duke's House of Orsena turned into the Duke's House of Henituse...

If it was not the Flynn Merchant Guild leader who died but Billos...

Cale frowned at the thought. "Choi Han, don't think about useless stuff." It wasn't just Cale. The Henituse, Alberu, Billos, the dragons, the Molan duo, and many others felt the same.

"I'm sorry, Cale-nim," Choi Han said, feeling ashamed of his thoughts.

"I'll never let my palace get destroyed," Alberu declared with a bright smile.

"And I'll destroy everything if anyone touches our place or our people," Raon said in a sincere tone.

"I will defend the Henituse territory," Lily added, placing her hand on her chest in a show of determination, while the Henituse family just chuckled.

'I guess I'm just overthinking', Choi Han thought, giving an innocent smile to his family.
