Cale closed his mouth for a second. A rare, awkward smile was on his face.

"Just because I was concerned."

Raon was not invisible, but chose to speak into Cale's mind anyway.

You're doing it again.

"What does the dragon-nim mean?"

"I had a feeling... Though it was disrespectful"

However, Cale just ignored it and started to look annoyed.

"With the mermaids getting stronger thanks to the Forest of Darkness that is by our territory, I wanted to help somehow, even though I knew the strong Whale would be able to take care of it."

Paseton thought that the expression on Cale's face was one of embarrassment. Cale had a similar expression when he had helped get rid of the mermaid poison in his leg.

Many emotions quickly went through the handsome Paseton's eyes. His beautiful eyes were very clear, even underneath the dark night sky.

Cale turned his head away.

"I see."

"It's not like we are strangers."

He casually answered before making eye contact with the others.

Rosalyn and Choi Han were staring at Cale. Their eyes easily revealed what they wanted to say.

'Isn't that different than the truth?'

Paseton then started to speak.

"Thank you very much, young master-nim. You helped us out again after saving my life last time."

Cale still didn't look back toward Paseton. He could see Rosalyn and Choi Han asking him with their gazes.

'When did you save this person?'

"Based on the chapter, I guess we did"

Cale ignored their gazes while Rosalyn and Choi Han did not ask their questions aloud. In fact, Rosalyn opened her mouth to say something else.

"Young master Cale headed over here as soon as he learned of the information. We needed to quickly take care of the mermaid poison, but he thought we needed to let the Whale tribe know this information as quickly as possible."

Cale showed his thanks with his gaze. This was the first time someone actually helped him pull off a scam. Choi Han just kept his mouth shut and stepped back.

"I see. I guess we need to bring over a mermaid corpse in order to get rid of the mermaid poison."
