Trash of the Count's Family - TCF Part 2 - Chapter 78

Cale was impressed with the speed of work of Central Plains. He thought that Central Plains was the type to do whatever Cale wanted. But Central Plains would be scared of him if he found out Cale’s thoughts. Central Plains sent a message that it had upped the limit to 9, which was a 2 person increase.

Cale thought on who he should add. Eruhaben was out since he was a nonhuman and Cale needed someone to protect Roan while his group was out. On and Hong were out since it would be hard for them in that world. Lock was out since he was still immature. He was also receiving special training from the tiger tribe chief. Mary was out because necromancers would be branded witches and persecuted.
Cale considered Rosalyn or Jack. But Central Plains sent another hesitant-sounding message that made Cale’s back feel strangely cold.

Cale frowned in confusion at what ‘blank’ meant.

With that message, Rosalyn and Jack were out. Cale wondered if he should take Lock or the Tigers. But they would look strange when they enter Berserk Mode. The world there might reject them, accusing them of being an evil group and attempting to kill them. Based on Cale’s knowledge of the wuxia genre, the people of that world would be hard to communicate with.
Suddenly, Cale was taken aback by the sound of sniffing. He looked around and was scared to see Toonka crying. Toonka had teary eyes, clenching his fists and biting his lip as he sniffed continuously. His voice trembled as he said that Cale was really nice. Cale was afraid of Toonka’s gaze, feeling more nervous than when he fought against the Huayans or WS. 1
He got goosebumps and unconsciously asked the other if he had gone crazy. Toonka shook his head, replying that contrary to the way Cale spoke, Cale’s heart was that of the kindest human he had ever met. Cale was freaked out and glanced at CH, but was surprised. CH avoided Cale’s gaze and was secretly smiling as if he found things funny.
Toonka: Whipper is a country that lacks proper natural resources! You must have known that! So, such a huge silver mine to us…! To us!
Cale: No… (I need to calm him down first) Hey, listen up. I’m the owner of that mine, and the profits from it are also mine. I’m just putting a mine in Whipper. Okay? The mine is definitely mine.
Harol: *talks about the benefits of the mine to the Whipper Kingdom*
Toonka: *hits the armrest of his chair*
Armrest: *breaks*
Cale: (That crazy punk!)
Toonka: As expected, humans should live kindly! Since we helped the Roan Kingdom, you must be giving this! And you must have received these things because you lived a good… a very good life!
Cale: (…This punk has changed so much. A good change is good. But why do I feel so bad?) 1
Toonka: I will not refuse the gift! I will definitely use it well! I am a warrior who always repays kindness! Anytime you need my help, tell me! If you tell me to go out and fight, I will do it! I can even risk my life if you want! My dear friend!
Cale: (Huh? If I told you to go out and fight, you’ll do it?)
Cale’s gaze changed as he slowly scanned Toonka from head to toe. Toonka did not mind it though he was slightly confused. CH felt a strange sense of déjà vu, noticing that Cale was calculating something. Cale’s eyes were exactly the same as when he was examining the gems found in the emperor’s catacombs in Xiaolen. Or rather, it was like he was looking at a weapon that could be used.
Harol also thought that it was strange, but Cale did not care. Cale asked Toonka if he was busy, and Toonka unhesitatingly said no. He proudly spoke about not being involved in training the soldiers or warriors as he did not want to do anything complicated. But in reality, everyone just told Toonka to take a break and not do anything.
Cale smiled and CH thought that Cale looked like a predator staring at his prey. Cale was considering on including Toonka on his trip to the Central Plains world. Toonka’s abilities were suitable for that world. Thus, Cale smiled and told Toonka that he would visit them again in the future. Toonka looked hesitant at Cale’s gentle smile and asked why.
Cale answered if Toonka hated meeting him, and Toonka denied that since Cale was their kingdom’s benefactor. Cale patted Toonka on the shoulder, saying that he must not forget to repay his debts. That caused Toonka to feel chills on his back. But Cale did not ask Toonka to go with him as there was one more person stronger than Toonka.
It was the Whale Tribe, specifically, Witira. They were a race that was already strong even without going berserk. If it was her, there was nothing to be afraid of. So he decided to contact her after a long time.
***
Cale, who returned to the Henituse estate from the Whipper Kingdom, was greeted by someone else before he could contact Witira.
“Well.” It was a pretty awkward meeting. “Long time no see.”
“Yes. It’s nice to see you again, Cale-nim.”
Clopeh Sekka. He approached Cale with a smile.
He had even come directly to the Henituse estate.
He was not alone.
“Hahaha! So this is where the esteemed Purifier was born!”
He was with Priest Durst. 2
-Human, I got a call from the crown prince saying he’s sorry! What is he sorry about? I’m curious! 1
Cale closed his eyes tightly to Raon’s voice in his head. He suddenly felt tired for some reason.
However, there was a glitter in his eyes. He checked Alberu’s message that Durst relayed.

The Paerun Kingdom was located at the northmost point of the continent. Roan was a little northeast, but it was still in the center. And the Jungle was located in the southern end.
“As I thought.”
The crown prince did not stand still. From the north to the south of the Western Continent. He wanted to create a new balance of power.
